how did i hate you? ; nalu

chapter sixteen

Natsu's POV
I sat impatiently watching Lucy shiver every now and then, I couldn't handle seeing her like this. Her wound wouldn't seem that serious but to Lucy where the wound was could lead to her death. I didn't understand how someone could've known her weak spot was the top of right hand, and why was it her weak spot? Multiple questions sprung to mind, my head jolted back to Lucy as she began shaking uncontrollably, I probably should've called a doctor but I knew they would take me away from her.
A worried look plastered my face as I placed my hand on hers trying not to touch the wound.

I cursed under my breath when I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder, I held my shoulder trying to ignore the pain letting go of Lucy at the same time.

I jumped feeling a hand touch my shoulder, I immediately spun around. I was shocked, was that, me? What kind of dream was this?
Aye me! The spell worked!
He or 'me' jumped up a smile on his face. A little older but still looked just like me, his attire wasn't that up to date with the times.
Who are you?
His face was of pure confusion,
You?
Now I was confused, yes it was clear we did look the same but what dream would want me seeing myself? The other me sighed,
Baka, I'm Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail! The fire mage, you know the really powerful that's a load better than the Ice Princess, Gray.
I let out a slight 'huh' was I crazy or something?
Ohhh-
He let out face planting himself.
I'm technically you, kinda not, kinda am... we're in your subconscious!
He grinned looking around,
I'm you but from a different era, well I'm not sure what time your in but I'm sure it's been a while since my time considering your clothes..
He looked me up and down a disgusted look on his face.
Hey! Look at the shit your wearing before you judge!
Shut up I look fine. Now stop talking I don't have much time.
I won't be able to talk to you ever again after magic hour is gone..
magic hour?
You know golden hour I think that's what Luce called it..
Wait you call her Luce as well? He blushed not looking at me with a slight nod.
So if you're from a different life.. you knew Lucy?
Just shut up I'll just show you.
He grabbed my wrist placing it on his shoulder, I stared in confusion at the mark on his right shoulder, it was a reddish colour I gasped feeling the space around me disappear. Lucy screamed being smashed down onto the ground once more. I ran forward about to help her before the other me pulled me back.
It's a vision you idiot.
I don't care, help her! She's in pain!
Shut up and watch.
I gasped seeing myself under some rubble.

Shit, I can't get out! Run! Don't worry about me just keep running and don't look back!
Her eyes lifted as she heard his words.
I refuse too! I'd r-rather stay here with y-you!

Hey Lucy.. thanks for saving me back there..
Lucy blushed looking down at the ground.
N-no problem..
She loves her~
Another voice came from behind her. I smiled noticing the other me was pink.

Hey Heartfilia!
Lucy spun around turning to face me. He grabbed her hand, they stared into each other's eyes.
W-what is it Natsu?
Well... Lucy Heartfilia will yo-
I was surprised to hear the past me curse behind me.
You don't need to see this, not yet..
he turned bright red closing his eyes, at the same time everything once again disappearing.
I'm sorry but this is the only thing you really needed to see...

The old me dropped my hands walking beside me facing the opposite direction like he didn't want to see what was about to happen.
I felt a pit in the bottom of my stomach seeing me cradling Lucy in my arms screaming at her to wake up. She smiled talking about how we'd see each other in another life.
Fairy Soulmate. One of the spells that only the Fairy Tail guild can perform.

What? Were we meant to m-meet.
He nodded.
Shit.. you need to go. Lucy needs to make her decision before it's too late.
He sighed putting his hand on my shoulder.
Please. After all, I was put through after my Lucy... died, you need to fix this life. Give us the happy ending we needed and wanted... Also, her name is Nashi Dragneel.
