Trust Me- A Fairy Tail Fan Fiction

Chapter 8

Natsu arrived at the spot him and Lisanna used to spend most of their time, the place where they hatched Happy’s egg when it was sent from Edolas, Natsu thinking it would be a baby dragon. The straw hut they had built was long gone, and the grave he had made for her there when he thought she was dead was also gone. There was no reason to have a grave for her since she had come through the Anima from Edolas, being alive the entire time. But other than that, it still looked the same as it did when they were little kids. Playing husband and wife. Natsu smiled, the nostalgia of it hitting him like a strong wind.

Lisanna had laid out a large blanket in the grass. She sat cross legged on top of it, a basket brimming with food next to her. There was so much food the top couldn’t close properly. Natsu could smell all the tasty treats and he started to drool. Lisanna noticed his arrival and started unpacking the picnic basket with a smile on her face. Natsu and Happy went and joined her on the blanket.

“This is a lot of food! Yum!!” Natsu beamed.

“Well, I know you and Happy have a big appetite! I brought Happy plenty of his own fish.” Lisanna giggled.

“Aye!” Happy cheered.

Lisanna passed around all the food. Natsu and Happy devoured it sloppily. She giggled the entire time watching them eat. Natsu really did eat like an animal. And Happy, being an actual animal, was no better. They both talked with their mouths full, food flying everywhere. They took bites when they hadn’t even swallowed what they just chewed. It gave Lisanna a stomach ache just seeing it, but she also found it charming. There was no one in the world like Natsu and Happy. And it made her heart light up that she was able to spend time with them.

“I really couldn’t understand most of the things you were saying.” Lisanna laughed.

“Sorry. I don’t even remember what I was saying.” Natsu said, finishing off the last of the food.

Happy laid on his back groaning. He couldn’t even open his eyes, his little white belly bloated and huge. He was so stuffed that his blue fur almost looked green. Lisanna hoped he wouldn’t puke. Natsu’s belly was bloated too, but he looked like he could take some more food down if there had been any left. Lisanna had barely eaten anything, so she was still kind of hungry. But she would eat when she went home.

“The sun is going to be setting soon.” Lisanna smiled.

“That’s right. Are we going to watch it? That was always your favorite.” Natsu smiled back.

“I would love too!”

They turned towards where the sun would be setting. The sky was already turning a light shade of orange. They sat side by side, their shoulders touching. Lisanna rested her head on Natsu’s shoulder, and he didn’t make any effort to move away. Happy was silent and in a food coma. They sat in silence for awhile as the sun creeped closer and closer to the horizon. Beautiful shades of red, pink, purple and orange giant ribbons in the sky. The sun itself was a bright orange beacon of hope. Lisanna let out a sigh and lifted her head off Natsu’s shoulder.

“Can I talk to you about something Natsu?”

“Of course. You can talk to me about anything.”

“Well, before you say anything, hear me out. Arriving in Earthland from Edolas that day, and being able to let you know it was really me, and to hug you again. It was one of the best days of my life. I know that…..I know that we said a lot of things as kids. Like how we would get married, and how we were a family and stuff. I never expected any of that to carry over into our adult life. But the thing is Natsu, I’ve always loved you. You are one of the most important people to me. I love you more than a friend, more than just family. I want the way we acted as children, to be real.”
