Chapter30 and the last one
The young man raised his pen out of his paper sighing heavily as he looked down at the paper before of him. He smiled satisfied as he looked down at what he wrote. Then, he put down the pen resting the back of his on the chair's back looking at the white ceiling that was above of him. He sighed heavily that looked like he was bored because that something seemed to be happening to him.
It has been several days since that day Natsumi was crying in. That day he found out that she wasn't only crying because she had missed Igneel but because she can't actually use magic that's why he convinced her to go to Polychica-san's house and before she kicks them out, she told her that she is going to regain her magic in few days.
Well, this wasn't his problem that he suffered of, the real problem that when Natsumi got back her magic power, master started giving her one-person's missions and he was left out all alone. And because he didn't want to do jobs without her, he waited for her to come back but now, he sitting in his chair waiting for his girlfriend to be back because he had missed her so much.
Well, you might be asking why he wouldn't go along with her, because when Natsumi suggested the same thing, master answered that they only need her and Happy which caused him to be lonely.
Lucas laughed mocking at his own state and asked himself when did he fall in love with her that much and wouldn't be able be apart from her. When he thinks about this, he feels embarrassed of himself because he thinks that Natsumi doesn't feel the same at all. He feels that she is definitely going to laugh at him when she hears that and that would make him more embarrassed of himself.
Lucas's face reddened as he started to see Natsumi's image in his mind as he felt that he had become crazy of her. He buried his face in his hand and tried to clear his mind of her.
"Hey, Lucas!"
The man jumped of his chair as he heard that sound. He moved his body quickly to the back to see that figure that came into his home without even knocking. He didn't see anyone except for the pink haired girl that was always snaking into his house without permission. For normal Lucas, he would get immediately angry but he didn't. He was shocked and surprised because she had entered into his house while he was thinking of her. She had given him a shiver because he was so embarrassed in the right moment. He quickly stood of his chair to look at her straightly.
"N-Natsumi! Y-You're back early!"
The girl smiled and started walking towards him with few steps. Then she stretched her arms out and wrapped them around of his back as she rested her head on his chest still wearing the same smile while her hair fell on her shoulders.
"I had to finish the mission very quickly so I would be able to see you." She pushed her head into his covered chest. "I missed you so much!"
The man stayed startled for the moment as he kept staring at the top of her head. He didn't believe his ears as he heard her saying that. So, he wasn't the only one feeling those things. She was feeling like he was feeling. He wasn't the only one. He smiled as he blushed and wrapped his arms around of her body sighing in relief as he rested his chin on top of her head.
"Me too. I missed you so much."
They were silent for seconds but then, the dragon slayer finally decided to talk.
"When master found out that I had gained my magic back, he started to give me so many jobs to do." She calmly said while protesting of what she was saying. "When I was finally able to come back, I ran away before he could give another work to do." She moved her head away from his chest to look into his eyes pouting which made the guy raises his hand to rub her hair playfully messing it.
"Thanks god because we were able to finally see each other." He smiled and she grinned, nuzzling his chest. She breathed through her nose smiling at the end of the breath like she was inhaling his smell.
"Let's spend the rest of the day together."
It was already 11 pm already and she wanted to spend these two hours with him. But, that's not what she meant and Lucas knew what she meant. She wanted to stay with him that's all.
"Let's go out then," the man stated forcing her to back her head to look into his eyes, surprised.
"Now?"
"Yeah, I guess that there would be definitely opened restaurants at the moment." He smiled which made her thinks over about this thing to find out that it would be a crazy idea but good at the same time, she smiled.
"Okay, then let's go." She quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him to her side as she started walking.
"Wait, at least let me change my clothes."
"Are you ready?" the girl looked at her boyfriend that was besides her to see that he was wearing a sweatshirt and blue pants while his hair was wrapped in a small ponytail. She smiled as she saw that style he wore because she liked that style so much. The man stood up after bounding his shoes to look at her to see her wearing the clothes she usually wear. The white shorts and the black vest with a small black shirt that was showing her navel.
"Come to think of it," he stated as he looked down upon at her clothes. "You're back to wear this style of yours."
"Ah, this," she looked at herself in the clothes. "I kinda like these clothes and they are comfortable than dresses." The girl explained looking into his eyes reading what the reason he asked for was.
"I like them on you too." He smiled as he grabbed the hem of her vest pulling it a little to his side. "I like both the dresses and the wild look on you." He chuckled which made her relieved to her. Come to think of it, he said it before. He said that he fell in love with her in her wild look and loved her even more when he saw how beautiful she was. And that what made her relaxed.
"Let's go, Natsumi." He grabbed her hand and started walking to where the door was. They got out hand in hand and kept on walking together like that while holding each other's hands feeling a little embarrassed because of the eyes that were on them, Lucas and Natsumi blushed.
They moved their heads and shared a look with pink color on their cheeks.
"Do you want to run?" the man suggested with a very low voice but enough for her to hear. Natsumi hesitated at first because she wasn't really used to this kind of character that Lucas showed when he wanted to break rules. Then, she smirked and nodded her head and grabbed his hand tightly and started running together with him.
That time, she felt like she was flying because she was so happy and she couldn't express how happy she was at time like that.
After running away in a place that people weren't around, there weren't any restaurant around and there were only a bakery. Lucas stared at the place they were in still holding her hand with his one.
"We're away from everyone but we're also away from the restaurants." He stated as he looked back at her.
"I'm so hungry." The woman's said as the man started to look right and left and his eyes landed on the baker.
"Ne, what do you think? We might buy something from there." The man exclaimed as he gestured over the place. The girl moved her head to look at the place wishing that she would get fed soon or else she might pass out from hunger. She quickly nodded her head and started walking, hand in hand with her boyfriend.
The girl sat down besides the boy on the slope that was on the side of the lake. She smiled as she started to rip of the bag she was holding. They entered the bakery and were able to find meat pie which they were lucky to find.
She calmed down when she felt the soft breeze hitting her soft skin but shivered when she started feeling cold.
"Today is cold, isn't it?" the man exclaimed when he saw how she shivered. She took a deep breath through her mouth as she paused for a while then; she sighed and looked back at him to feel warmer.
"It's alright; I'm using my magic now." She stated with a smile as she pushed the meat pie inside of her mouth to take a bite.
"Hmm, it's so delicious!"
"Yeah, it's." the man chewed the bite he had in his mouth as he kept looking at the front of him. The silence spread in the air as the both of them were eating his own meat pie (sandwich) and didn't bother to talk.
When the blonde finally finished he sighed as rested his two palms on the grass and looked up at the sky and saw the beautiful stars. He smiled and started remember those books of the galaxy he was given by his father as a present.
The dragon slayer caught a glimpse of him and didn't say anything as she kept looking at her beloved one staring at the something he liked. The truth is that she never knew about how much he liked space but she liked to find new things about him. She likes how he looked when he woke up with his messed hair and pale face. She liked his motions when he pull out a key to summon one of his spirits. She also liked how wonderful his reaction becomes when she cooks to him. And now, he was showing her a new side of him, the satisfied side and the satisfied look. She didn't guess what kind of look he wore was for. Was it because he was full because he ate that pie or he was it because he was looking at something he liked.
The right answer was none of them. He gave that look because he was happy to reach this point. He was happy that he had endured the hardships since he was born and now he is sitting feeling those feelings which was prove of being alive. He started to think of how many things happened since he had joined fairy tail. How many things he had done. And how many things will keep happening. And he is not sad. He started thinking of their relation together and how far they have reached because they stopped being stubborn and let their love talk instead of them. He started thinking that he was so lucky because that happened.
You ask why? Because he thinks if he had this relation before he might have ended it quickly because of the boredom. But no, he is not like that now. He had improved and grew up. And now, whenever he looks at Natsumi he immediately smiles because she was his drug, he was addicted to her!
"Aaaaah," the man sounded as he sighed lying down on the grass behind of him catching the girl's attention.
"What's wrong?"
He moved his head to look at the pink haired girl and let out a chuckle.
"My mind got scrambled."
Natsumi let go of the bag she was holding as she moved both of her hands to rest them on top of the grass, in the same line and looked at the boy with a questionable look.
"Is it because of the galaxy?"
The man didn't answer her as he kept looking into her eyes. He started looking at her face deeply to realize how beautiful she was and how peaceful and innocent she looked. The thing he was thinking about now was that this girl had shown how wild she was because she wanted to be like that but around of him. She was like a really small child who needs him besides of her. She gets happy with the smallest things and sad with also the smallest things. She was like an angel, easy to hurt and easy to make happy.
If people knew about her real self, they would put her in cystal ball and write on it 'Don't touch!'
"Hey! Did you hear me?"
"I was thinking of you."
The girl's face flushed red. She looked deep in his eyes to read them to see that he wasn't lying. But now, she is more embarrassed and didn't know what to say or what to do and she kept shaking at her heart kept humming in her chest. The man ignored her right state and stretched his arm out to grab into her right hand and bringing it to his chest for her to touch it.
"I'm tired for not being able to control over my feelings…" he stated slowly with a low voice. "They keep flowing inside of me, Natsumi."
Natsumi''s face was now so red then, she looked at him trying to react but couldn't. She breathed and let out her breath with a heavy sigh. Then, she started to lean her body and rested her head right on top of his chest as she kept listening to his heartbeats.
Lucas blushed at what she had done but then, he moved his one hand to nuzzle his hand into her hair and the other one to rest it on top of her cheek to feel how soft it was. He let out a sigh in relief because one of the reasons he needed to live this life was because he needed to stay with her. He had to live for her sake!
They stayed like that for several minutes without spelling a single word. They actually didn't need to talk because their hearts spoke before them. The feelings that dwell inside of them went out and exposed their little secrets. And they weren't sad, they were so happy to be just to be together with each other and didn't want anything from each other except that.
The blonde Lucas started to touch the top of Natsumi's head as he took a deep breath preparing to talk.
"You know, I'm missing you so much lately." The man spelled as he caught the girl's attention but she kept looking at the same spot not moving her head away from it. "Sometimes, I wish if we were together with each other for more times." The guy continued
"Hmm, me too."
He looked down at her face after she moved her head to look at him; she rested her chin on top of his chest.
"It'd have been great if we were married and living with each other." The girl's eyes shot opened and she raised her brows up and kept looking at him without any reaction. Then, she put weight on her elbows to help herself to sit down on her knees, she looked at him in the eyes and the shock was drawn on all her face.
"Lucas…"
The man kept looking into her eyes as he heard her calling his name surprised of her sudden shock. Then he realized what he had done and quickly jumped of his place. Then, when he saw how serious her eyes were. He pushed himself up on his arms as he sat up.
"… You want to marry me?"
The man kept looking at her for seconds trying to find the perfect words for this kind of situation but no, he did not find them. He sighed and raised his arm up to rub the back of his head looking down on the ground embarrassed.
"I…" he started looking down. He gulped and continued, "I'm feeling so lonely these days."
Natsumi didn't do anything except for focusing in his words.
"That's why… I keep thinking that if we together… were living with each other, it'd have been better since I can see you every morning and every day." He moved his head up slowly to look at her in embarrassed look.
"So…?"
"So, yes… I'm proposing to you!" he squeezed his eyes shut afraid to hear her answer. His fear had led him to the answer 'no' and he can't think of anything except for that. He waited impatiently to hear her.
"You think I'll be a good wife?"
The blonde guy opened his eyes to look at her and paused and quickly snapped.
"Of course, Natsumi!" he stated as he stretched his arm out to grasp her soft hand. "Who else would make me a happy person except for you?!"
She looked a little hesitated about what he said. It wasn't like she didn't like the idea but she was only asking if she could be a perfect girl for this position, his wife.
"You're not brave to accept?"
She shook her head looking at the ground. "I'm so happy you asked but, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a good wife!"
Lucas kept looking at her astonished of what she was saying. He didn't know why she was doing this and why she was saying that. When she became his girlfriend, she didn't say those words or even think of it, or maybe she thought? Lucas squeezed her hand and moved his body to her direction.
"I think of you as a great woman, Natsumi!" he grabbed her chin raising it to his level. "Don't you think the same?" he smiled at her as his eyes started to gather tears.
"Lucas…"
"Without you, I'd not be able to live Natsumi." He cupped her cheek. "You've saved me several times without feeling it, you know that?"
"Lucas…" she whispered.
"I was afraid that I'd not be the perfect person for you, not you." He exclaimed and took a breath letting it out slowly. "You're like an angel, easy to hurt and easy to make happy." He reached up to wipe her tears that started falling down seeing his one.
"So now, after you found that you're so amazing and I'm a miserable one, do you accept me as a husband?"
The girl nodded her head this time without hesitating and jumped to embrace him as she felt like she was flying because she was so happy and Lucas was like that as well. He was so happy that he was able to get what he wanted and didn't care about their current age because they decided to live together because they love each other more than anything else in this world and wasn't embarrassed to hide it or lie about it.
The man rested his head on her shoulder for a second and then backed his head away and looked right on her eyes with a smile on his lips. He leaned forward to her side to place a kiss on top of her lips feeling that he owned the world at that time just like her.
How beautiful love could be!
But, it's not the end.
Suddenly, both Lucas and Natsumi jumped as they heard some people cheering from behind. The both of them snapped both of their heads to the back as their sweat dropped looking at them.
There stood Gray, Erza, Juvia Mira, Lisanna, Elfman, Levy, Gajeel, Wendy, Happy and Charle watching them and clapping their hands as they cheered with the top of their voices.
"Y-You guys!"
The blonde guy let go of the pink haired girl he was holding in his arms as he looked at them shocked of what just happened. And because fairy tail will always be fairy tail, they were there watching them for several minutes and waited for the perfect moment as Natsumi agreed.
"Congratulation you two!" Erza said.
"Aaaah, I wish I was the one proposed to by Gray-sama!" that was Juvia.
"Good for you, treat each other well or else I'll hit you both!" this was Gray's turn.
"Yaaay, I'm so happy that I came with you!" Mira stated.
"The liiiiiiiiike each other!" I bet you know who.
"Congratulation Natsumi, congratulation Lucas!" Lisanna cheered.
"Y-You…!" Lucas didn't believe his eyes. He moved his head to look at Natsumi to see that she was shocked at first but then she started laughing without a specific reason.
"You guys are so much fun!" she laughed holding her tummy. Lucas calmed down and sighed then he smiled at how lovable she turned to imagining that if she was in her right mind, she would have gone and hit all of them.
He sighed once again and stood up.
"Aaaah, fairy tail will never change!
