"it's always harder to be left behind than be the one to go..."
~ Brock Theone
What would happen if Juvia and Laxus didn't go to tenrou islands? Gray returns to Magnolia after being stuck on tenrou island to the shock of his life.
I let out a yawn entering the kitchen "morning sleepy head" Miyuki greeted "you know just because you don't have any work doesn't mean you should sleep in" Aqua said looking up from her breakfast "where's mom and Tsunade?" I ask opening the fridge "Tsunade's with Juvia at the florist shop" dad replied sipping his coffee.
Tsunade
Grabbing a pot of winter flowers I lifted it up "hey mom I'm going to go set these pots outside" I looked back at her "ok Tsuna" she turned from spraying some plants with water I pushed the door open with my foot stepping outside into the cold winter day.
I hung up the last bouquet of flowers outside "thank you for the help Azusa" I thanked turning to the snow white-haired girl who just happened to be my best friend "any time" she flashed me a smile "I'm heading inside to help out Mrs Dreyar" she opened the door giggling.
I blinked in confusion turning around "hi" I raised a hand in greeting "how was your day?" a smile curved my lips "roses" the man said another failure at starting a conversation I thought "wouldn't you like to buy something else sir? what about these snowdrops?" I gestured to the white bell-like flower "or winter rose?" the man pushed his glasses up his nose "they're on sale since it's almost Christmas" he looked in thought with an unreadable emotion I guess he doesn't want them my smile faltered slightly "how much are the winter roses?" my face instantly brightened "would like a bouquet or the usual way?" I could've sworn the man smile "bouquet" he replied following me inside.
"that should do it" I dusted my hands placing the last pot back inside "I'm heading off" Azusa slipped on her coat "ok I'll lock up" waving at her I went into the back to wash my hands.
The bell at the front rang signalling someone had arrived "sorry but we're closed" I popped my head out through the door frame "H-Hikaru?!" he grinned waving "hey Tsunade" sighing I slipped my arms through my coat "yeah yeah I'm coming" grabbing my bag I walked past him towards the door holding it open for him "thanks" he stood behind me as I fished out the keys for the shop finding it I inserted it into the keyhole turning the silver key locking the door.
"you look cute" Hikaru walked beside me we've known each other for almost a year now "what did you need?" I ask stopping in my tracks Hikaru started fiddling with the hem of his jacket "h-have you gained your memories yet?" he asks however this question has popped up a lot "no Hikaru if I do I'll tell you" I replied continuing on my way back "I don't know why you're so hung up on my memories of our previous life" he ran to catch up to me.
Silence fell over us but I was used to it now this is how it always becomes after I give him the same answer my eyes caught sight of a figure standing on the other side of the street staring at me creep alert! I moved closer to Hikaru who was lost in his thoughts wait a minute isn't that- I narrowed my eyes at the figure it's that guy who always comes to the flower shop to buy some flowers! who's that with him? is that his girlfriend? I stopped in my tracks noticing the women he must buy those flowers for her how sweet I heard someone call my name as I turned to look at Hikaru "what's wrong? why'd you stop?" he asks "it's nothing" I replied he outstretched his hand "let's go" I felt my heart skip beat blood rushing to my cheeks.
a man outstretched his hands "let's head back to the others" a smile curved his lips.
I shook my head grabbing his hand what was that? I ask myself.
