Final Chapter how will our hero/villain and heroine/villainess continue after their fateful curse?
Chapter 6:
Levy ran as fast as she could home to Fairy Hills in the hope of not seeing anyone, but she couldn't out run a dragon slayer or his nose. He caught her all too easily.
"Levy…I'm so sorry"
"No it's fine we were cursed and crazy and its fine, its fine, we're still friends right?" she asks looking down unable to look at him.
"Of course but-"
"I'll see you later!" she shouts pulling her arm away and running, she didn't know but he could smell her tears.
Happy was who came after him.
"Are you okay Natsu?"
"No Happy I'm really not, everything got majorly screwed up and I don't know how to fix it"
"How about flowers? Lucy always seems to buy flowers to make herself cheer up, I used to think it was sad but maybe it'll help"
"Pink Roses" Natsu says softly.
"What's that?" Happy asks.
"Pink Roses are her favourite" he says, reluctantly turning away from the direction she'd gone and walking towards home.
"I'm sorry Natsu I really shouldn't have left you behind, maybe I would of been able to stop you" Natsu half smiles.
"I know buddy; I know" Natsu says solemnly.
Once home Natsu lay on top of his cold bed, and held onto his spare pillow looking up at the ceiling, Happy slept soundly in his hammock while Natsu was wide awake, his bed was small he realised. Even Lucy's bed was bigger, enough for the two of them but she'd never sleep with him, she'd sleep on the floor or he'd sleep on the floor, that was their friendship, that was it, friendship. It was like sharing a room with Grey or Erza, but now he looked beside him and remembered the small slightly cool body that had slept next to him for two weeks, even as they were travelling with the bounty hunters tied to a tree, Levy always managed to roll closer to him for warmth and he let her since it was his job to look after her. He wasn't sure exactly what he was feeling but it was like when Igneel left, not right after which was heartbreaking but missing his company, that was it, he missed her.
Levy in Fairy Hills also hugged her spare pillow huddling under sheets to keep warm, she had to admit she missed Natsu, as a body heater. he was always warm and ready to put his arm around her to both keep her warm and keep her close. She could see how her cursed-self fell in love with him, he such a wonderful companion, a partner in crime and at home...at the hotel...Levy tried not to cry, remembering everything they were together, she knew they did really bad things but despite it all she really missed him. Crying into her pillow she eventually fell asleep.
The next day Natsu was in the guild early eating only a little and waiting, he must have looked up every time someone came in or out of Fairy Tail, Lucy tried to distract him by talking about nonsense, he didn't miss that most of the guild avoided him not wanting to set him off, Jet and Droy were dead quiet sitting at their usual table, no Levy, Gajeel was with Lily but no Levy, it past noon, one, two, three still no Levy.
"She's not coming today" Juvia says quietly sitting next to him.
"Why?" he asks.
"Because she's really sad, Juvia understands that, don't worry Juvia made her breakfast and lunch before coming to see my darling Grey"
"Thank you Juvia" Natsu says looking down at the table and his clenched hands.
"It'll be okay Natsu" Lucy tries to say.
"I guarantee Levy's not mad or anything, she just needs a little to adjust you know?"
"Yeah I do" he confirms, Lucy was surprised and continued on her mission to distract him, it was late when Levy walked in, no one noticed, no one except for Natsu he looked straight up and saw her, their eyes locked she gave him a small smile before moving to Jet and Droy and engaging them with conversation.
Natsu just stared at her, not even Lucy's chattering, Happy's argument with Carla about fish or Grey's annoyance distracted him from her, he watched her like it was the first time he'd seen her, her blue hair and bandana, her little orange dress and sandals, her ever present messenger bag, which she was clutching nervously with her hands as she talked, she said goodnight to Jet and Droy and left without talking to anyone else, not many people noticed her at all. Natsu didn't like that, whenever he came in everyone noticed, Erza too or Laxus and the Thunder Legion, when he came back with Lucy and Happy everyone knew it, usually with Grey too but Levy she slipped under the radar, avoided people's notice with her small body, because she wasn't as busty as the others of the guild she seemed to be passed over, by everyone here but Jet and Droy and Gajeel keeping a watchful eye as he did when it came to her, Natsu knew he still wanted to make it up to her over his attack years ago, good he should, as Natsu needed to make it up to her too.
Natsu didn't even realize he'd stood up and was leaving until Happy chased after him with a half-eaten fish.
"Hey Natsu wait up! You didn't even say goodbye" he says, Natsu went to florist nearby they were still open and Natsu bought a bouquet of pink roses. Natsu walked with Happy up to Fairy Hills and knocked on the door, Levy answered and when she saw him gasped.
"I got these for you" Natsu says holding out the flowers, Levy took them smelt them and smiled.
"Thank you" she said looking down at them.
"I'm still really sorry and I'll make it up to you somehow Levy"
"You don't need to-"
"Yeah I do because of me you didn't even come to the guild today, I waited all day just to see you"
"Thank you for that Natsu but you don't need to be sorry…because I'm not"
"You're…not?" he asked obviously missing something.
"No" she says more confidently looking him in the eye.
"I'm not sorry, maybe for stealing and for hurting the J Brothers the way we did, but other than that I don't regret the job, the trip, us being trapped, while being cursed sucked, I enjoyed being cursed with you" Natsu blinked not quite understanding.
"Thank you so much for the roses, they're my favourite"
"I remembered" he says softly.
"Goodnight Natsu" she says.
"Goodnight Levy" she closed the door and Natsu reluctantly begins walking home, forgetting Happy was still with him.
"She likes you" Happy says with a big smile.
"I like her too Happy" he admits, Happy's jaw drops.
The next day Levy comes in at her usual time she laughs and smiles with the guild as she usually does, no one mentioned the curse or him and her, they left them alone, Natsu had a feeling Erza and Mirajane had a hand in that, the whole day Natsu while getting back into being with the guild and having fun his mind was spinning I enjoyed being cursed with you he remembered everything that happened I enjoyed so did he being cursed so did he with you so did he.
He loved being that free with Levy, spending time every day with her, she was such a unique and amazing person, she knew things he could never hope to understand, and she enjoyed him too, he wished he had Warren's gift to read her mind to see what she thought of him but the only thing that resonated was I'm not sorry honestly he was only sorry it was bad Natsu and Levy rather than regular Natsu and Levy that got that first kiss in the pyramid, got to be together in the hotel, cuddled during the night.
The Levy and Natsu now didn't do that but he wished they could, but he didn't know how. All through the day his mind and ran in circles, Levy kept looking over at him and smiling which set his heartbeat flying, he just wanted to kiss her to hold her close to him to tell everyone she was his and he was hers and it's all he wanted from the world. It literally felt like it was tearing him apart, when around seven at night Levy got up, Natsu didn't know if she was going to leave or get a drink or food or just stand up but he didn't care he was by her side in a second, he saw the surprise turn to joy in her eyes and felt her respond when he kissed her.
The entire guild could have exploded right then and they would not of noticed so they didn't see Lucy stuff a fish in Happy's throat to shut him up while wearing the widest smile, Juvia hug and try to kiss Grey, Erza choke on her cake leaving Mira to hit her back to help her cough, Elfman burst into tears and Lisanna laugh, Laxus smile with the Thunder Legion on the second level, Gajeel shake his head with a smile mirrored by Lily. Wendy looking so happy and Carla sniffing at their public display off affection but secretly really happy, Jet and Droy's face's where the most priceless pure shock as they fainted into Max and Warren who tried to revive them, Gramps only had one eye open but he smiled as did Cana toasting to them and draining her mug, the rest of the guild all had smiles on their faces, as strange as it had appeared at first it worked, and now they couldn't see them apart.
A few weeks later Natsu and Levy made their way into the collapsed pyramid and into the chamber that once held the idol, Levy pulled out the idol and by the light of Natsu's fire, replaced it.
"Some treasures should be shared; others should remain lost" Levy says with a sigh.
"I agree" Natsu says, they go back out before Levy collapses the pyramid and hopefully that idol for the rest of time.
"Ready to go back to Fairy Tail?" Levy asks.
"As long as you're with me, I'm ready to go anywhere" Natsu says kissing her quickly, Levy and he share a joyful smile knowing no matter what if they faced the future together they could take it!
