You're The One (Nalu AU Fanfiction)

~*Chapter 5*~ In the House {Edited}

~Natsu's POV~

My mom looks at the little, injured girl in a surprising look, but immediately turns into a look of worry.

"Set her on the couch!" She demands. I lightly put her on the couch. My mom went inside the bathroom and grabs her med kit.

"I will put on her bandages when she wakes up, Natsu. Don't wake her up." My mom warns.

"I know mom. Sheesh."

It's already 9:30. I check back at the girl. She looks like she has been through a pretty rough night. So many questions in my head that I want it to be answered already. I sat down on the other couch we had. My mom sat next by me. I look at my mom and from the way she looks at me, she's very worried. "Why are you looking at me, Mom?"

Her face changes. She smiles. "Your cheeks are turning red, Natsu!"

I feel my face burning up. "What!?! No I'm not!"

"Yes, you are!~"

"No I'm not! It's from the cold! My cheeks are just warming up!"

"Uh huh. Suuuure. Is she your girlfriend, Natsu?" she grins.

"WHAT!? Mom! I just met her in the forest! I barely know her! Don't say that!"

"Well, you two could look like a couple." she said while giggling.

"What!?" I shouted.

"I'm kidding Natsu." She laughed. "Your reaction is really funny."

I look away from my mom, trying to cool my face down.

"So Natsu, how did you find her? You were supposed to come home when you were done with a group project you had with your friends." my mom asks me. I can hear her putting away the stuff in the med kit.

I turn back around and face my mom. I scratch my head "Well... We were done with that and I decided to go to the forest until I found her in a cave."

"You went to the forest?? Why??" She asks, demanding an answer from me. I lower my head. I didn't want to tell her. She would get mad at me and it would be embarrassing.

"You were trying to find your father, weren't you?" she said.

I look at her and she looks so calm yet a look of worry in her eyes. She knows me too well. Can't get past her. "No I wasn't, mom. I was just in the forest trying to find something interesting to do and found a cave and saw her." I lied, turning around so she wouldn't tell that I'm lying.

"Don't lie to me, Natsu. Look at me straight in the eye and tell me that you were just minding your own business in the forest then." She demands.

Dang it.

I look at her eyes. I tried not to smile, but I smiled. She looks at me with an angry face. I sigh and stood up "Okay you caught me... I was trying to find him, okay?..."

My mom stands up and walks up to me and hugs me. I hug her back. "It's okay, Natsu. He will return soon."

I just stood there in my mom's arms. I don't even know if he is going to come back. It's been so long...

She lets go of me and puts her hands on my shoulders looking at me. "Now, go change into your PJs! You're soaking wet!" She yells.

"It's the rain's fault!" I complain.

"It's your fault for going there in the first place!"

As I was walking towards my room, my little sister, Wendy, came out of her room wearing her PJs.

"*yawn* What's going on? Why are you soaking wet?" she asks in her high, squeaky voice.

"Oh, Wendy! We have a visitor." mom said.

Wendy looks at the couch and sees the girl. "Wow! She's really pretty!" she said with so much glee, her eyes are glittering when she looks at her.

"Right?! Your big brother saved her." my mom said. That's a bit over exaggerated. I just didn't want to leave her in a cave. I rolled my eyes. My mom can be over dramatic sometimes. But I still love her.

"Big brother saved her!?" She looks back at the girl, then back at me. She grins. "Nice catch, big bro." She says it with a low voice like how guys try to be cool. My face starts to heat up and she was nudging me and teasing me.

"WHAT?!?! Why do you people think that!? I just found her in a cave. I barely know her!" I shout.

"SHH. The girl is sleeping Natsu." my mom said to me, trying to calm me down.

"Gosh, big brother. It was just a joke." She pouts in an innocent way pretending to fake cry.

An angry mark showed on my head. But, I remember that I have to be quiet for this mysterious girl to sleep, so I calmed down.

I look at the girl. Her eyes are twitching a bit. It looks like she is going to wake up. "Mom, look!"

Me, Mom, and Wendy walks towards the couch and sees the girl's eyes slowly opened.
