A/N: Aye, another chapter! FFFinalllyyyyy! For all those who are wondering if I've stopped writing, no, I haven't. Things just happened (like computer bugging down and school stuff) that's why I wasn't able to update for long. Yep, my pc's now working, hurray hurray! But I'm still as busy as a bee (being in my last year in college and all) so I can't guarantee a fast update. To be safe, I'll just say that it would be faster compared to the time when.. my pc's sick? :)) Again, THANK YOU for the unwavering support you're all giving, guys! I love you all sooo muuuch! *sniffs* Thank you for reading, for the reviews, the alerts, and the 'story favorite's (as well as the author, waaaaiiii (/) )! Haah, okay, I wouldn't delay you further, guys, (I don't need to what with my long 'absence' in ffn =.= ) so here's the 7th installment of Struggling! This time, this chapter is for real! XD
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail! Tch~ *sulks in one corner*
Chapter 7: Friendlier Friendship
Lucy watched at the two figures on the bed, taking in every feature of their faces and the very color of their hair. Hearing their soft snores, she seemed to calm down a little and just gazed at them contentedly. Anne and Ken had just fallen asleep as soon as she washed them again and tucked them in again on the bed, this time making sure that they do not leave her sight. After that dramatic moment, she doesn't want to do anything that could break the kids' hearts anymore. It felt strange though that after seeing their tear-stained faces, she felt a lot times heavier that she would do anything – ANYTHING – just to make those kids happy. Maybe it was probably the guilt that made her feel that way but.. that much? Maybe what Gray told them had been very true after all.
"Lucy?"
The said girl's thoughts were interrupted as a pink-haired boy peered at her side. "Are you okay?"
The blonde blinked several times and realized she must have looked stupid; spacing out while looking at the sleeping figures of the two chibis on the bed. Gray is nowhere to be seen as he already headed out saying the drama is too much for him. Besides, she noticed that Natsu's a bit more edgy towards Gray after their Search-and-Rescue-Operation to the kids. It was as if Gray had said something to make Natsu annoyed at him. It's not that they do not annoy each other all the time, though. So with all her might, she shooed him away kindly, much to Natsu's contentment. Then she was suddenly surprised that Natsu had not teased her for spacing out and saying something like 'You're such a weirdo' which annoyed her so much. Instead, he just asked her if she's fine as if worrying about her condition. Really now? Maybe he felt guilty himself. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied. I really am confused, she thought to herself, remembering howshe seems to act differently these past few days. Something to do with the kids and Natsu being 'a new different person' in her eyes.
"Really?"
At that said, Lucy frowned. Then, deciding that she's too afraid to leave the kids alone, she settled on the divan and sighed, making Natsu follow her with brows furrowed. "I guess it's all my fault," she finally said when she felt Natsu sit beside her. "I over-reacted. Then the kids thought I don't want them."
"Do you?"
"Of course I want them!" Lucy said. "I was just shocked. Who wouldn't be? But I'm starting to get attached to them, you know. I know this is kinda weird but it feels like they're the most wonderful things in the world." She got startled at her own words and expected Natsu to look at her suspiciously as if she's out of her sane mind, but was surprised again when she saw Natsu's pink head bob up and down in agreement. "You agree?"
"I know how you feel," Natsu said still nodding. "You know, it sounds like what parents say to their children."
"How do you know that?"
The dragon slayer just shrugged at her for a reply, earning another suspicious glance at him. Ignoring the look, he looked ahead, focusing on the bed and said, "Ne, Lucy, do you really hate me that much?"
"Eh?"
He looked at her with his dead serious face. "I said, do you find me disgusting?"
Lucy looked back at him, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise. She remembered that he'd asked her like that back then, and just like back then, his eyes are filled with anticipation, curiosity and hurt. "Natsu, why do you keep on asking about it? I told you and I'm telling you again: I'm not. Well, if you're asking about table etiquette I would have said yes but I know you're not talking about it. C'mon, Natsu, you're my best friend, why would I be disgusted with you?" she said and prayed to every holy beings that she sounds convincing enough because she really meant it. "You helped and saved me a lot of times,"she let out a soft chuckle as she added to herself: even though you cause troubles most of time. But she left that last part out because well, she's trying to console her bestfriend and those words don't obviously fit in the picture.
"But you seemed irked about what Gray had told us about those kids being ours–" Lucy flushed red at this and thought: 'Who wouldn't be?' but she decided to keep her cool (How can he say it without any hint of shame, anyway?) "–and I can't help but think that you're really disgusted with me or something," Natsu replied immediately.
Now, how can she say this? Would she be honest or would she just deny things? Sighing dramatically, she decided that the former idea sounds a lot more appealing. "I told you, I over-reacted. I was just shocked; it's not that I hate you. Aren't you surprised yourself? I mean, I couldn't possibly have children because, well, I don't have a husband." Natsu raised a brow at this before opening his mouth to speak but Lucy added, "Obviously you're not my husband, Natsu. I'm not yet married." She deadpanned but blushed at the same time. How awkward can this get?
"But Gray said they're from the future. Does that mean we'll be husband and wife in the future?" Natsu asked casually as if he's just asking for the weather. And here, Lucy's head is about to explode at the awkwardness of it all but Natsu doesn't seem to mind. She's trying to control the urge to hit him but Natsu misunderstood her silence as an affirmation that he said, "Cool!"
Now Lucy's ears and head are smoking, "Wh-What do you mean 'Cool'?"
"That'd be awesome! Imagine how much fun we're going to have since we're partners forever!" Natsu continued to cheer, clearly oblivious at the thought he's giving to the blonde.
Lucy knew Natsu have innocent intentions in mind when he said that but she can't help but insert malicious thoughts between those lines. Goodness, Lucy, she scolded herself, you know your bestfriend has a mind of a five year old. I bet Ken can is more mature than him. "Natsu, do you know what you're saying?"
He gave her his trademark grin and replied: "Of course!" that she felt like slapping her forehead. And why the heck is her beating wildly?
But Natsu has a point there. Does that mean she and him would be *gulp* married? How the hell did that happen? Is it because of unavoidable circumstances like a mission or is it really because of *gulp again*.. love?
She unconsciously turned her head to the dragon slayer who was happy for a very weird reason as she tried to imagine herself being all lovey-dovey with that exact person in the future. Ehh…. Oh heck, the very idea seems too hilarious but why did her heart skipped twice faster?
"Lucy? Oi, Lucyyy!" The dragon slayer waved his hands frantically in front of the lost-in-thought blonde mage and almost it her nose in the process.
Lucy blinked several times. "Huh?" How intelligent.
"I was saying, how about we spend some time together. With the kids!" Natsu said enthusiastically. It was the second time he said it but since Lucy seems to be spacing out, looking like a total weirdo that she is (which, by the way, he found cute. Heh.), he repeated it and this time, he stood up from his seat. "We can go to a park and have a picnic!" Then he murmured, more like to himself, "Erza said she had always dreamed of doing that so I wonder if I can beat her to it. Hah!" Seeing the frowning face of the blonde at his remark, he added, "Or better yet in an amusement park! I want to ride everything!" When the blonde didn't respond, he clasped both his hands and pleaded to her, "Pleeease?"
"O-Okay," Lucy stuttered and bit her lip for stuttering and thinking that Natsu is adorably cute. Oh. I-I need to take it easy, right? Besides, with all the stress they've been going through, a day with the kids and Natsu wouldn't be so bad after all. Maybe – just maybe—she should stop thinking things first. Even if they are very important?
"I promise it would be fun!" Natsu just grinned at her but what she saw was Natsu with a wide grin on his face but is at the same time bathed in a glowing light. It was so bright, she thought she'll go blind–
Yep, I have to stop thinking.
"Oh dear," Lucy said as she watched the wobbling Natsu, the laughing Anne, and the trying-to-be-serious-and-mature-but-he's-about-to-burst-out-laughing-himself Ken move out of the merry-go-round. It was still past ten in the morning and the merry-go-round was just the first ride of the kids. Lucy would have volunteered on riding with the kids but surprisingly, Natsu beat her to it, saying he must ride something for the kids. She would love to retort at this but Natsu is probably trying to impress the kids so she thought to mind her own business. Besides, he was the one who volunteered so it's not her fault if he feel nauseous after the ride. Maybe Natsu had asked for Wendy to cast Troia on him when they were in the guild before they went to the amusement park? Boy, was she wrong. Lucy ran to meet them halfway, pitying her pink-haired bestfriend and patted him on the back as he struggled on his feet. He leaned on the railings for support making the celestial mage worry over something that's normal for a dragon slayer like him.
"I told you so," Lucy said aiming to prove her point at him but her tone betrayed her. It came out as if she's worried even though she wants to scold him. The dragon slayer didn't reply and he was already turning into a sick shade of purple, so with something akin to a sigh and a grunt combined, Lucy reached out for Natsu's arm and swung it over her shoulders and held onto his waist. She could feel her face heating with the close contact but she scolded herself. Just think that he's about to puke and if you're not fast enough, you'd end up catching his—That worked. She hurried to the nearest bench as she said, "Hang on, Natsu."
Behind them, Anne nudged Ken's elbow and whispered, "Ne, Ken, don't you think they're friendlier to each other than before?"
The already blushing Ken looked away from her sister and said, "No." But deep down, he agreed with Anne. Ken half-expected his 'mother' to scold Natsu and shriek like an enraged banshee that he better not puke on her or he'll be dead meat. But when she instead reached out to him and encouraged him to hold on, he felt like something's not right with the world.
"Aw, c'mon, Ken. You're so boring. I know something's up with them. Could they be realizing their feelings to each other already?" Anne said still trying to get Ken to agree with her.
Could they really be?, he wondered himself but he just settled on: "Let's just leave them at that, Anne."
Anne pouted. "Tch, killjoy. Whatever, I'll report this to Aunt Mira. I'm sure she's more willing to hear this than you," and she gained a few more steps and walked ahead of him, leaving a frowning Ken as she watched her sister's back.
"Geez, Natsu. You can't even handle a train, how much more a merry-go-round?" Anne heard Lucy say when she arrived in front of them. They were sitting on a bench with a good view of the ferris wheel behind. Natsu has a little color now as Lucy ran circles on the dragon slayer's back and Anne couldn't help but notice the more relaxed face of her 'Papa'. She giggled at this, earning a questioning look from both of her 'parents'.
"I was just marveling at how you look good together," she said with a sweet smile.
"…"
"…"
The little girl grinned even more upon seeing their expressions: Lucy flashing a frozen smile with her right eye and mouth twitching and Natsu looking at her with crossed brows that gave her the impression of him considering what she said.
"Anne, Ken, why don't you buy yourselves ice creams first?" Lucy suggested after having recovered from what Anne said and seeing that Ken had just arrived.
"Why ice cream?" Natsu scowled.
"Why not?" Lucy asked.
"Because it's cold?"
"So?"
Anne and Ken looked back and forth to their parents who were caught in a battle of will. Though they enjoyed it, they still sweatdropped at their argument. Ken thought to himself, Really, just for an ice cream?
"They'll get sick."
"Sick? From just eating ice cream? I don't think so."
"They'll get sick," Natsu repeated.
Lucy paused, then she said, "Natsu, please don't tell me that you're associating this again with Gray?" When Natsu remained silent but stuck his nose up in the air, she rolled her eyes. "Whatever, Natsu, the kids are going to buy ice cream and I am, too."
"We can handle it!" Ken suggested and after a short pause, Lucy handed the jewels over to Ken, knowing that the ice cream stand is just across them and she could clearly see the kids. They both dashed out of the 'scene' leaving the two mages behind.
"Why are you buying ice cream?" Natsu frowned.
"Because I want to. It's hot," Lucy just replied, tired already of arguing with him over a simple thing and leaned on the bench, watching both the kids hand the jewels to the vendor.
"Hot is good."
"For you," Lucy said, then before he could retort, she added lazily, "I see you're all fine now."
Natsu's demeanor changed. He grinned at her and gave her a thumbs-up sign, "Yup! It's all thanks to you, Lucy!"
Lucy looked away from him but her cheeks are a little pink, "Tch." She decided to look for a distraction and looked straight ahead. Right, she has to look for the kids. Ken was handing the vendor the money and the vendor in turn handed the ice creams to him. She watched Ken turned to his right and scrunched his brows for some reason.
Wait, where's Anne?
"Natsu.."
"What?"
But she didn't respond, instead she stood up and walked briskly towards Ken's direction. She heard Natsu call her but she ignored it and instead looked around to look for the little girl. Heaving a sigh of relief as she saw Anne a few meters away from Ken and the ice cream stand, she patted Ken and headed straight to the girl. Anne's back was on her and she stood there unmoving, looking at the trees that seemed like a mini-forest jungle of the amusement park. "Anne?"
She didn't respond so she hurried walking and touched her shoulder, "Anne, are you okay?"
Big brown eyes stared back at her own ones as Anne spun around as if she was surprised by Lucy's arrival. Her breathing was uneven and worry swept over the blonde as she looked at the shocked state of the little girl. "Anne, what's wrong?" she asked getting down on one knee to level with her.
"I-I saw Mama," she said confused then she pointed out to the mini-woods, "Over there. I swear I saw you, Mama!"
"Are you sure, Anne?"
"I have a pair of very good eyes, Mama, you always tell me that," she said and Lucy would disagree at first but remembered that maybe her real mother say that to her.
"Hey! What's happening here?" Natsu said as they arrived in the scene with Ken beside him holding the two ice cream cones and was frowning at the mess as the ice creams start to melt on his hand. There are chocolate-flavored ice cream stains on his shirt and all over his face in a hurry to gobble up his part.
"Papa, I saw Mama and I thought he was with another guy."
"Uhmm.." Lucy sweatdropped. This is not what she said earlier though.
Natsu's right eye twitched but he said nonetheless, "I was with your Mama when you're buying ice cream. Maybe she just look like her?"
Before she could respond however, Lucy felt movement from her keys on her waist and soon after, a soft light appeared and with a soft pop, a man in his tux materialized before them.
"I've come, Lucy, my love," he said as he theatrically bowed down and reached out to Lucy's right hand to kiss it.
"Loke, what are you doing here?" Lucy deadpanned.
Loke straightened up and said in an almost singsong voice, "Well, it's been a while since you called me, so I thought I'd pay you a visit. I know you're missing me as much as I'm missing you, my love."
"If she misses you then she would have summoned you out," Natsu said in an almost – take note: almost – cool voice, "but she didn't."
A frown made way to the spirit's handsome features, "Why are you here?" then he looked around with wide eyes, slightly destroying his image as a cool heartthrob. "And what are you two doing here?"
Lucy sighed. Great, this is so great.
"Ahhhhh! Pink-haired Chibi Lucyyy! Chibi Boy Lucy!" Loke shrieked pointing towards the frowning (even more than before) Ken and surprised but amazed Anne. "Or are they Chibi Girl Natsu and Blonde Chibi Natsu? Gaaaah! I'm confused!"
"You suck at giving titles," Natsu said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Ohhhh, Leo!" Anne exclaimed. "I guess you don't know us in this time so I'll introduce myself and my brother. I'm Anne and this is my twin brother Ken. We are their children!" she continued and gave that very same grin of the pink-haired dragon slayer as if showing evidence to what she's claiming to the flabbergasted lion spirit.
"What? What is the meaning of this, Lucy, my love? Please tell me they're just kidding!" Loke turned to the blonde who was looking a little uncomfortable of the situation.
"She said it," Natsu said smugly.
"Shut up, I'm not talking to you!" Loke growled at Natsu who growled back at him. But Loke had already turned back to Lucy, "Lucy, what's the meaning of this?" he asked as if he was a heartbroken prince with that same singsong tone again.
"Well.." Lucy could only say as she tried to find the words.
Seeing this, Loke dramatically whined, "Noooo! Lucy, my love, I thought we are in love!"
"In love my butt," Natsu muttered.
Loke's head whipped towards his direction and let out a snarl but again, he turned back to Lucy who was now red with embarrassment. "How did this happen, Lucy? How long am I gone? Am I too late to save you?" he asked, but when Lucy sighed again, reddening more, he turned again to Natsu and pointed a finger at him. "This is all his fault, right? He stole you away from me!"
Natsu let out a low snarl, showing his fangs. "Did not. She's not yours to begin with."
Hearing this, Lucy reddened even more that she thought her face can already cook an egg due to immense heat. Loke snapped back, "And she's not yours, either."
Okay, this is getting out of hand. If I hear more, I'd die! "Stop it, you two," Lucy finally said, still looking red. "C'mon, Anne, Ken. Let's just leave these two retards here. I have nothing to do with them," she said and walked away from them, with Anne and Ken following suit.
"No, Lucy, wait! We have to talk!" Loke called out before giving Natsu a warning glare and ran to catch up with the blonde.
Natsu was left there staring at the retreating figures of Lucy, the kids, and Loke and felt a very unpleasant feeling stirred inside him. He never knew Loke can be as annoying as this. Even though he's his friend and guildmate still, he felt like he would love to punch him on the face. Why doesn't he go back to his astral plane or watchamacallit where he belong?
In a low and dangerous voice, he said, "I won't lose."
"Heehhh.. I smell jealousy in the air.."
The hooded man heard the hooded woman said as they both stood behind a wide tree watching as Natsu ran towards the direction where Lucy, Loke, and the kids marched off to. He chose to not respond at first as if he hadn't heard the woman. However, he knew that she knew he heard it owing to the fact that he has a sharp sense of hearing and so he expected a lot of teasing to come. "I don't," he said. Their little argument last night was over and they're now in good terms once again. He expected it too, though, what with the mood swings his companion have.
"Liar," she replied.
"He's just competitive," he tried again.
"Competitive, eh?"
"You know so well that he hates to lose," he said. Dang, he's making it worse.
The woman smirked at this, "I know. Go on."
"Whatever," he muttered. He just can't win against her, can he?
The woman laughed heartily and patted him on the head. Even though he was irritated that he lost the argument, he felt a surge of emotion upon hearing her laugh. Well, I guess it isn't as bad as the pink-haired guy who was there a while ago.
"Ahh, this is getting exciting!" The woman exclaimed.
The man scoffed, "I thought you were the one who seems to disagree with the idea of following them?"
"Well, we're supposed to watch the kids, right?" The woman said and felt like patting her own back for an excuse well-delivered. "Besides we haven't found her yet. The more reason we should watch the children." Now that was not just an excuse. The man remained silent for a moment and the woman knew he agrees with her.
Then finally, he said with the same taunting tone as her, "Fine. But don't be so careless next time, 'kay?"
The woman frowned, "Shut it."
And the man laughed at her. She really is amazing. Just as her mood swings are.
