The History Behind Us (nalu)

TWENTY ONE

Recap

Last time, we see the gang attempt to cheer Lucy up/get her mind off of Warrod by bringing her to Cana's party

Lucy let's herself slip a little too far, and ends up drunk and in the care of her pink haired boyfriend. Retaining a sense of sobriety, Natsu brings the blonde back to her house.

Bathing, dressing, and tucking her into bed, Natsu stays planning on taking Lucy to visit Warrod in the morning after he is release from the hospital, and brought back to the nursing home.

Natsus POV

I wake up to a slight weight on me, nothing heavy, just... gentle. I rub my eyes awake to the most wonderful sight I could've asked for. The golden locks on top of the earth angel herself, Lucy, were spread across my chest, and winded between the crooks of my fingers.

I sit in the peaceful silence, smirking at my contently sleeping girlfriend. I'm so glad that I am the one who gets to take care of her. Not to mention getting to wake up to her.

But not after long the silence was broken.

*buzz buzz*

I grab my phone, shuffling quickly yet quietly to get out of room before I wake Lucy up.

"Hello?" I answer the phone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Dragneel?" A lady responds.

"Yes. Who's this?"

"It's Carla, from the nursing home. Warrod actually returned to our facility late last night, and is insisting on talking to you."

"Oh? Thank you for letting me know Carla. I'm just waiting for Lucy to wake up then we will head right over!"

"Well.. you see Mr. Dragneel... he only wants to see you. Alone today."

"I see. Tell him I'll be over in half an hour."

"Will do. Goodbye."

"Bye"

I wonder what he could want...

Maybe the old man just wants to gossip some more about Lucy and I. Matter of fact, I'm excited to see him. He truly is a sweet old man and gave me the courage to ask Lucy out.

Whatever he needs, I will do it. Especially knowing how much he means to Luce.

I sneak down the stairs, open my backpack, and pull out a piece of looseleaf paper to leave the hungover sleepyhead a note.

Knowing she would probably awaken soon, I run out of the house, and hop into my car.
