My Adopted Girlfriend

Chapter 19

(Time skip, 2years)

{Lucy POV}

"Lucy!" I turned around, and was engulfed entirely. 

"Oh, hey Natsu!"

"Mom said to go with you and make sure you get to school safely."

We were at my school. 

It was my first year in college, and I was nervous. 

"Cmon, Zeref said that it isn't that bad." Natsu said. "Besides, I have to go my school."

We were officially dating. In secret, of course. 

"Cmon!" He pushed me slightly. As I went in, he yelled, "Good luck!"

"You too!"

(Time skip)

"I don't like school." Natsu said, crossing his arms. "Too many long lectures." 

"Well, if you want to be a designer, then you have to go to college for four years." I said. 

Yep. Natsu wanted to be a fashion designer. 

"And you want to be a what?"

"An author?"

"And how many years is that?" He asked. 

"Four years. Not all authors go to college, but I just decided to, since my writing skills aren't that good yet." 

"Yeah. Your writing is too complicated." 

"That's cause you're dumb."

"Hey!"

I laughed. 

"So...have you decided when to talk to Mom about...that?"

I sighed. "I'm not sure. How sad would she be? I would feel so bad. She took care of me for so long." 

"Well, if you want to keep getting involved with me, then we have to...um...de-adopt you?"

"I know." I said. "I can't keep dating my brother forever." 

"Don't worry, Mom will understand. Besides, you don't have to go into foster care anymore. You're old enough."  

"But then where would I stay?"

"In our house!"

"Your mom wouldn't allow that." 

"It's worth a try, right?" 

I stayed silent.

"Come on." He said, hugging me from behind. "Don't be so gloomy about it."

"I'm just worried." I said. "About your parents."

"And Zeref?"

"Him too." 

We stayed silent. 

When we arrived home, the three people were sitting on the couch. 

"Oh, you two are here! How was college?"

"It was fun!" I said. 

"It was boring. Too many lectures." 

Zeref chuckled. "It's always like that, little bro." 

"Anyways, you two, why don't you come have a seat?" Mrs. Dragneel said. "I have something to tell you." 

I curiously looked at her, then Natsu. He shrugged. 

"So, you see..." She started, after we sat down. "Your...father and I have been thinking about something, Lucy."
