My Hero (Natsu x Reader)

When Wicked Rises pt 8a (final)

The picture has absolutely no relation to my fanfiction, I just wanted to show you what my lock screen photo is.

WARNING! It's going to be a long chapter
(not the final chapter, just part of the final for When Wicked Rises part.)

*I'M PUTTING THIS CHAPTER IN PARTS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO READ A 20 MINUTE CHAPTER

If my day wasn't going bad already it's starting now. The last bell rang for the day. Meaning, it was time to get back home. I didn't want to go home. Not if Natsu was there. So I went to find Lucy and ask her if I could get a ride home.
When I found her she was standing at the front door with Gray and Natsu, both Gray and Lucy looked upset. Lucy looked over at me, and before Natsu could see me when he turned his head, I darted behind the wall, where I bumped into someone, we both fell. I looked in front of me, it was Levy. "Crap." I mumbled, then stood up and helo her to her feet. "sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going." she smiled, then waved me off.
"Don't worry I was in a hurry to," she answered me, then picked her backpack up, I did the same. I slipped my arms through the straps and looked back at her.
"Well, I wasn't in a hurry, more like hiding from someone," I said, adding an awkward laugh after it.
"Who are you hiding from?" she asked, I shifted,
"Natsu," I said, she gave me a confused look,
"Why are you hiding from your boyfriend?" she wondered, I looked down, "oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know." she added, then touched my shoulder, I looked up at her, then shrugged.
"It just happened today, so not a lot of people do know." I sighed. "the worst part is he's staying at my place."
"What?" shoot, why did I keep talking.
"Our parents work together, and they went on a trip for two weeks, and they don't trust Natsu by himself so they made him live with me. But I only have like four more days till they come back. . . you think I can hold out?"
"I think you'll be able to hold out if you two talk to each other," she said,
"I can't talk to him, he hasn't tried, and I haven't even thought about what I want to say, I pissed and upset at the same time."
"Then change those emotions into words, I know you can. You did when you helped me with Gajeel. So I think you can try and do it yourself." she gave me a warm smile, or at least she thought it was. The thought of talking Natsu makes my entire body go cold.
"Yeah." I started, "I'll try." it was a lie. I didn't want to talk to Natsu, there wasn't anything to talk to him about, other than telling him how much of an idiot he is for crawling into Juvia's lap.
"Yay." she hugged me, "I wish you luck." she patted my shoulder, then walked away. I took a breath in and looked behind the corner, Natsu was gone, and only Lucy stood by the doors. I ran up to her.
"Hey, can you give me a ride home?" I asked she nodded.
"I knew you were going to ask me, but you saw Natsu didn't you?" she asked, "I saw you."
"Yeah, but I also ran into Levy, knocked both of us off our feet." I chuckled slightly. "Let's get going, I have a crap ton of homework to do," I said, she nodded. I followed her outside and to her car. She unlocked it, and we piled in. I shut the door. "How are you and Gray?" I asked,
"We're good, better than you and Natsu, that's for sure," she said, I knew she didn't mean it as an insult.
"Everyone is doing better than me and Natsu," I mumbled, then looked out the window.

When we arrived at my house, Natsu's car was sitting in the driveway, like I suspected. Lucy drove up to the end of the driveway, I thanked her and got out. I walked to the front door, I gripped the doorknob, then took a breath in. I opened it, stepped in, then closed it. Natsu looked up from the couch, he went to speak but I stopped him "please, don't. I am not in the mood right now." I said harshly. I didn't drop my backpack, I brought it with me so I didn't need to come back down for anything. I went to my room, without another word. Natsu didn't follow me, nor did he try speaking to me, he just sat there.
I opened my door, then gently closed it. I tossed my bag on my bed, then face planted into my pillow. Levy's right. I need to talk to Natsu, but I don't even know how to start a conversation. If we don't talk then the next four-five days are going to be tough. I rolled over on my bed, I faced the ceiling. My phone buzzed, I took it out of my pocket, then looked at it. It was from Natsu, I let out a breath and opened his message.
