-The Whispering Sunflowers- {NaLu}

Ch 10: Aconites...

Cold lips.

Dry lips.

Giving out a sigh of sorrow and discomfort.

But at this point, nothing felt comfortable.

In the room of tears he cried or so he knew it as.

Wondering how the hell he got here.

He had to come out sooner or later.

But the only ones taking that seriously were his tears.

...

Damp eyes.

Drooping eyes.

Giving out tears he had been holding since birth.

That was a lie, he cried himself to sleep every night.

It seemed he had gotten better, but meeting her again triggered everything.

He didn't know if he wanted it to be an illusion or an actual human being.

But this wasn't his call.

...

Trembling cheeks.

Colorless cheeks.

Giving the worst appearance.

Did he care, he didn't know.

All he knew was that he had just seen an angel he thought he had lost.

What was this? He thought he was just being dragged to a party.

But for all her knew, he was in hell or maybe heaven.

~ Natsu's P.O.V. ~

"Goddammit." I splashed water onto my face.

"I thought this was suppose help me to get me over you. I finally decided to start dating, y-you bitch," I fell back, against the bathroom wall.

"Why can't you just let me breath..."

A couple of knocks were heard on the door, thankfully I locked the door, "Yes?"

"Erza sent me to check up on you. Are you alright?" I gulped and looked at the mirror, did that guy look alright?
Definitely not.
"Yes, I'm great. I just wanted to freshen up a bit cause this place is really warm.

"Probably cause of all the heated teenagers," she laughed.
"Well if you need anything just shout my name. You remember it right?"

I won't be forgetting it anytime soon. It's been stuck in my throat for years.

"Lucy." Just saying the name cut my lips.

"We'll be awesome friends. Thank Mavis you didn't call me Luigi." I could hear her footsteps click away.

I whipped away my tears and waited for a color to rise back to my face. I unlocked the door and stepped out with fake confidence. Lucy was next to the door on her phone, she looked up and made eye contact with me.
"Hey!" She jumped while putting her phone in her back pocket. "You wanna get out of here?"

"What about Levy and Erza?"

"I just texted them and they're okay with it." She grabbed my hand, it stung like cold knives, what the hell?

While she was dragging me outside she turned and asked, "Are you sure you're alright? You got really pale when I touched your h-hand,"
She blushed and removed her hand. "Yeah I'm totally fine just... Where are we going?"

"Well how about your house, Natsu?"

I chuckled, "We just met." I hope.

"I know, I just, I really feel like I have known you for a long time."

....

"Wow, your house is full of plants and flowers. It's so beautiful."

"Hehe, yeah, thanks." I rubbed the back of my neck.

"What's wrong with this one? All it's buddies are happy and blooming."
She pointed towards a small flower that hadn't bloomed for almost a year or more and yet it hadn't died.

I always wondered what was wrong with it, but I watered it anyway.
"He just hasn't found the right time yet."

"Aww poor little guy. He reminds me of you."

"What?"

"He's still hasn't showed his true colors yet."

"What are you talking about?"

"I know what you were doing in that bathroom."

"Did you...?"

"No, I didn't hear anything, but..."

She stood up and grabbed her phone.
"Look at the time! I have to head out already! It was nice seeing your house again, Natsu! Bye."
And she shut the door before I could speak or even breathe.

I sighed and sat down on my desk with a cup of green tea.

Wait what did she mean... "AGAIN?!"
