natsu drganeel

i've done it.

i told her i liked her.

and i fucking regretted it.

i ran home as fast as i could. i ran to my bed and crashed on it, angry at the fact i told her i liked her.

she doesn't like me back, what's the point? she already has brian.

rolling on my bed, i replayed the scene where i confessed. my cheeks reddened, and became really hot. hate to admit, my heart jumped with joy when i confessed.

i laid in bed for a few more minutes before standing up and showering.

a shower would help me organize my thoughts.

-

a shower was everything i needed. not because i smelled bad (of course, i have good hygiene), but because i got to organize my thoughts.

so tomorrow, i would tell lucy everything was just a prank. hopefully she'll believe it.

after eating dinner, i decided to take a little stroll aound the park. it was still seven pm. the night was still young.

i was wearing grey sweats and a black shirt. it was kinda cold, but it wasn't cold enough to be wearing a jacket.

so, i took a cap with me and went to the park in the center of the town. going to the nearby convenience store, i bought some ice cream and sat down on the benches outside the store.

just then, i heard familiar voices from a distance.

"hey lucy, do you really love me?"

"of course, brian! i love you so much!"

"then explain what i heard about that natsu kid confessing to you."

i hid behind the tall plant beside me and continued to eavesdrop on their conversation, intruiged as it was brian and lucy.

"so what? i don't like him." lucy said, with a bit of hesitance in her voice.

my heart broke.

"are you sure about that? then what was that paper with that lame pick-up line i saw? it was from him to you." brian said, pushing lucy on the grass.

"hey! what's your fucking problem!?"

"don't raise your voice at me bitch!"

my blood started to boil and my hands were balling up to fists, wanting to punch brian straight in the face.

"you're my girlfriend so you do what i want. okay? now what i want you to do is cut all your connections with natsu."

"but-"

"no buts. do it or i'll spread that picture to the whole student body. we wouldn't want that do you?"

i saw lucy's eyes widen in fear. what is that picture and why does it have such a big effect on lucy?

he smirked before leaving her, who was crying.

"make sure to clean up the suite tomorrow." he arrogantly said before leaving lucy at the park.

i took this chance and sat down beside her.

"brian? i thought you left-"

"hi lucy. you okay?"

lucy seemed shock to see me and her cheeks were redder than a tomato.

"what are you doing here?" she said, trying not to let me notice her wiping her tears away.

"why were you crying? are you okay?" i asked, removing her hand which covered my view of her beautiful face.

"it's nothing. a bug got in my eye."

lies.

"i saw what happened," she stiffened, "what's the picture he was talking about?"

she looked at me and she was on the verge of crying.

i don't know what happened but the next thing i knew, i was embracing her and i could feel my shirt getting soaked with her tears.

but it didn't matter right now.

what mattered was her.

-

we stayed in that position for a while, until she finished crying. she was embarrased to put her head up so she pushed off my chest while hanging her head low.

i took this as my cue to leave. i stood up but she grabbed my wrist,

"natsu?"

"hm?"

"thank you. for everything."
