«A Heartfilla's Power» (Magi x Fairy Tail Fanfic)

3rd Person's P.O.V:

"Achoo!"Lucy sneezes in the middle of her stargazing..It was already night and the ship was almost at Fiorre..

She felt a shiver run down her spine as she looks at the stars,"Someone must be talking about me huh?I hope it's someone from Fiorre.."She murmurs..

"You shouldn't be out here Little Princess..."

Lucy squeaked as a blanket was put around her..Sinbad chuckled as he goes beside her,"You like Stargazing?" He asks..Lucy silently nods...

"You don't really want to go..Right?"He asks again..This time,Lucy answers..

"Yes..And No..For a long period of time,there's a part of me who wants to visit Fiorre..But the other doesn't want to..As if..Two of them are different persons.."

This surprised Sinbad..He had never seen such conflict in her eyes..Her chocolate joy-filled eyes were always the ones who would greet him everytime they met..

"From..What I know..People there don't like me..And that scares me..It scares me what they'll do again if I come back there.."Lucy said clasping her hands together..When she heard nothing from her side,she immediately silenced up..

"I'm sorry..I guess I took it too far huh?"She whispered..Sinbad then smiled at her before holding her clasped hands..

He kisses her knuckles before looking at her,"Little Princess I know what you're feeling,I'm sure that the people there changed..And I feel happy that you're not only comfortable speaking to Kouen but to me as well.."He muttered..

"Heh..I guess you're right..Looks like I have another shoulder to cry on.."She says smiling slightly at him..

Sinbad chuckled before patting her head,"Now..Go rest and I'll call you after we arrive.."He says..Lucy nods as she kisses his cheek before walking towards the bottom quarters..

Sinbad's face immediately reddens as he quickly covers his mouth to stop himself from jawdropping..

Meanwhile,Lucy walks towards her quarters with the small smile plastered on her face..She goes in and locks the door before sitting on the side of the bed..

She looks at her bag before pulling out an album..Lucy flipped around the pages..The pictures there were from the beach day..

There was a picture where Sinbad was carrying Lucy bridal style while Kouen was chasing him..And another where the two had a beach volleyball match on who gets to have her for the day...Which also ended in a draw..

But her most favorite picture was at the last page..It was her in the middle of the two kings with everyone behind them..All of them had bright smiles on their faces..

"Yeah..I don't need to be scared..I have my friends..I don't need to run away anymore.."She murmurs with a faint chuckle as she slowly dozes off..The album wrapped around her arms tightly as if she was afraid it would disappear..

-Meanwhile-

"Why'd Lucy-neesan get to ride on their ship En-nii?!That's not fair!She should ride with us!"Kouha whined chewing a piece of banana irritatingly..

Koumei sighed,"Don't try and get an answer from him Kouha..He's too angry at himself for losing chess and Lucy-neesama.."He explained as he looks at the sulking red headed emperor..

"I forgot he treasured chess really close..Heh.."Kogyokou says covering her mouth..

"A miracle seeing Lord Kouen lose to Sinbad.."Hakuei murmured giggling before silencing after Hakuryu nudged her on the elbow..
