Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

🇯🇵25

It was barely just week when Lisanna had arrived at Magnolia with her husband Laxus.

Natsu was just sleeping right next to Lucy on her bed when suddenly the door burst open and his childhood friend who was three months pregnant was at the door with the look of sadness and betrayal. The rosy-haired college student was horrified when the pregnant woman took her shoe off and threw it right at his face.

He fell off the bed in record time, squealing like a girl when she took off her other shoe to throw it at him once more. But luckily, Laxus came before anything turned bloody.

"Lisanna, you need to calm down!"

"I—I can't! Lucy is—Lucy is..." Lisanna sniffled, her arm slowly falling to her side as she looked at her blonde best friend on the bed sleepily peacefully. Tears fell from her eyes as she threw the shoe right at Natsu who wasn't expecting it at all, yelping in pain as the white-haired woman threw herself on the hospital bed.

"Lucy! Wake up, Lucy! It's not funny anymore! I'm here, no need to play around anymore!" Lisanna cried out, grabbing the side of her face to laugh and cry at the same time. She sniffled and stared at the face of Lucy, waiting for her to respond but when she didn't, she started to wail real loudly.

Both the males cringed at the sound of the cries, Laxus quickly coming to his wife's side to comfort her.

"Lisanna, crying won't wake her up."

"Maybe it will! Like in the Disney movies?! Like how Rapunzle cried on Flynn Rider's face and the—and the glow! He came back alive! Lucy is alive! Maybe she'll wake up! Cry with me, guys!"

"Lis, it's not the time for you stupid Disney movie assumptions. This is real life—crying on Lucy won't wake her up." Natsu sighed, running his hand through his messy hair. "I tried," He mumbled under his breath, the two barely catching it. Lisanna gasped as tears brimmed in her eyes, watching Natsu look absolutely worn out to the sleeping beauty that was on the bed. She leaned forward and clamped her hands down on her childhood's shoulder before she started to wail, making him cringe slightly.

"Natsu, I'm so sorry! I'm sososo sorry!"

"What are you sorry about?"

"About Lucy! I know it's tough but we're all in this together so don't feel lonely! Okay? I'm sure she would be very sad to see you like this," Lisanna sobbed, grabbing onto the hands of the troublemaker. Natsu just nodded as she sniffled and looked over at Lucy once more, whining about how she missed her so much.

Natsu could only sigh, looking at Laxus who only gave him a small encouraging smile. "It'll be alright, we'll be here with you during the whole time."

"Thanks guys I really appreciate it—wait, the whole time?"

"Yeah, uh, we'll be living in Lisanna's old apartment till Lucy wakes up... that's what she said." Laxus said a bit sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. Natsu stared at Laxus till he opened his mouth to speak, being silenced almost immediately. "Please just go with it. She's pregnant and emotional and I couldn't even let her down without her throwing a tantrum!"

"Laxus, what the hell?! How am I supposed to deal with her and Lucy?! She'll cry and visit every day and I can't have that right now!"

"I can't do anything about it—she's made up her mind and it'll be that way till she thinks of some other crazy idea."

"Lis, you can't stay here till she wakes up! You'll never know when she'll wake up! You're three months pregnant, school is going to start in couple months, and we just don't need another person coming to visit crying daily! You need to take care of yourself!" Natsu shouted as he looked at the woman who stared at him blankly. The two were completely silent, Laxus giving him wide eyes as he silently telling him to run while he can. Natsu dismissed the fool behind Lisanna before looking back at her.
