Brothers & Sisters, it's been told the biggest of all is love! What should you say of friendship then?
Brothers & Sisters, at the age of 10 my 'mother' told me I am a RM-project.
Brothers & Sisters, can I ever trust love again? Can I ever trust the biggest of all?
Brothers & Sisters, my name is not just Natsu Dragneel, it is also RM-project M-777.
Brothers & Sisters, I have finally learned that I am no longer of humanity kind.
Brothers & Sisters, I am the last of my kind.
Brothers & Sisters, will I ever find love again?
Brothers & Sisters, it seems to eternity will never be enough to reach me.
Brothers & Sisters, my one biggest of secrets is to never say what I am.
Brothers & Sisters, my mother died today. I'm all alone.
Brothers & Sisters, it is my 23rd year as a RM-project. I try to live like any other youth.
Brothers & Sisters, today's Technology class were all about RM-projects and their functions. I walked out of classroom, feeling sick.
Brothers & Sisters, RM-projects like me still exists. They are turned off.
Brothers & Sisters, can I ever look back and feel happy, knowing I lived all in a sea-deep hole of lies?
Brothers & Sisters, can I look into the future, imagine a family and friends?
RM-PROJECT M-777
"Do you understand your situation, Dragneel?"
"Hai." The pink haired male in the room answered, eyes looking down to the clasped pair of hands in his lap.
"Can we depart and promise you will go to the Student Aid this afternoon?"
"Hai."
The door closed softly behind him. Leaving him to think over why they had talked about that. He honestly don't care about his grades, his life is a big failure anyway. Or so he thinks.
With hands in pockets he walks down the one of many school corridors, surveying the familiar white walls and gray tile-floor. Surveying the scents of the old smells of foot sweat and deodorants.
Pausing outside the wooden slide door he had a second though to skip the SA, but yet, he would get expelled if he did. Pushing the door open he was met with widened eyes of all the colors in the world.
Green. Blue. Onyx. Purple. Brown.
"Ah! Dragneel-san, it's good to see you." One enegic teacher greeted him. Natsu noticed her as Mirajane, his classmate's older sister.
"Hi." He said in response, walking to the back of the room, sitting by the window.
"Oi, oi. Isn't that Salamander?"
"No way…"
"Isn't he kinda hot?"
"You kiddin' me? He must be gay."
"Gray! That was so not necessary!"
"C'mon Lucy, take a good look at him."
"Juvia thinks Lucy is right, Gray-sama, it is rude to call people gay just because of their hair color."
Natsu rolled his eyes. Honestly he had heard worse stuff.
"Okay! I want you all to take up the work you have been signed up to work on." Mirajane's voice took all students attention, even Natsu's but he didn't do anything of what she said, he just sat there, looking outside the window.
"You will be turned into the military base after you finish college to run some tests."
A deep frown settled over his face as he remembered the meeting with his 'Father'.
"You are our living test. We let you run free for 24 years, then you will work for the military together with the other RM-projects-"
Without his notice he had a hard grip on the fabric inside his green trouser pockets.
"Excuse me, can I sit with you?" his head snapped up to the asking person, his eyes widened slightly as a very beautiful woman stood in front of his desk, books and collage pads in her arms.
"Sure." The word slipped out before he could stop himself. The answer earned a very sweet smile from the female in turn so it didn't matter that much.
"I am Lucy from L-3."
"Natsu," he muttered, tugging on his scarf. "MA-1."
"Wow, you go the martial arts line?"
"Sorta."
"Studying to a MA teacher?" Natsu rose his eyebrows.
"More of my own interest in it." He answered. "And I guess you go the Literature line?"
Lucy smiled. "Yup! I'm going to write my own book after the exams."
"Already set a score, huh?"
"Pretty much, yeah, but I think I will work some years as a kindergarten teacher."
"Oh, okay."
Brothers & Sisters, is it in our possibility to fall in love?
Brothers & Sisters, can I perhaps tell her what I am?
Brothers & Sisters, is it worth to the risk?
Natsu fixed with his scarf making it hang a little bit looser. The heat outside was killing him.
"What the hell is it with this weather?" he growled. "It's only April dammit."
"It will help if you take off that muffler of yours." Lucy's honey-sweet voice made him turned around. "Good forenoon, Natsu~" she greeted him hugging him. The hug was surprising enough and he wondered why she was so happy.
"You seem happy."
"Well, I have my reasons." Natsu rose his eyebrows, his eyes looking at her with wonder.
"Is that so?"
"Mhm~! One is to hang with you and I passed the tests!" the last words came out in a shrill squeal, startling the pinkette so he lost his balance when she once again pounced onto him.
"Congrats, congrats." Natsu chuckled, patting her head. "Well, should we go and grab something to celebrate your passing?"
"Sure!"
For the whole afternoon the two of them gave each other company. Natsu paid the blonde female to a five-star restaurant, shocking her out of her socks and the cherry on the top was the travel through the park.
They helped a lost girl find her parents again and shared a box with bubblegum.
Two hours later Natsu and Lucy found themselves standing outside Lucy's apartment door, chatting about the events they had been doing.
"I've had the best day of my life Natsu, thank you."
"No problem, Luce." Lucy's cheeks flushed up at the nickname. "What's wrong? Do you have a fever?" Natsu pressed his palm to her forehead, checking if she had the said fever.
The bold move made the blonde student blush even more as she felt Natsu's minty breath wash over her face.
"N-No no! I'm totally fine, honest!" she took away his hand, but didn't let go. "Hey, do you want some tea?"
"Sure."
Brothers & Sisters, my time with Lucy is soon over. I hate it.
Brothers & Sisters, my time with my new friends, Gray, Juvia and Erza is coming to an end. I hate that too.
Brothers & Sisters, I have realized something big, something bigger than anything.
Brothers & Sisters, I have realized I am in love.
Brothers & Sisters, I am in love with Lucy Heartphilia, a human.
"Hey Luce."
"Hm?"
The two friends sit by the table in Lucy's apartment kitchen, doing some extra work.
"I lo-"
"Ah, sorry Natsu, the phone is ringing." Natsu slumped back into the chair as the blonde female rushed out to answer her phone.
A few minutes later Lucy came back, smiling towards the pink haired male.
"Sorry for that, what was it you wanted to say?" she asked him, sitting down in front of him.
"No, nothing."
"You sure?" Lucy tilted her head to the side. Natsu nodded.
"Hai…"
A few hours later and Natsu found himself dozing off on Lucy's extremely comfortable bed.
"Hey! Don't go around and sleep in other people's bed!" Lucy exclaimed, her arms high up in the air.
"But Lucy's bed is so comfortable~" he whined, hugging the pillow closer to his face. He loved how Lucy's scent filled his mind. Sunflowers and raspberries.
"Natsu…" Lucy sighed, still she smiled. "Move over, I want some space too." Though she didn't give him enough time to react to she jumped up in the bed, landing in a very surprised Natsu's lap.
Brothers & Sisters, my time with my friends is over in three days.
Brothers & Sisters, I love Lucy. I love her so much.
Brothers & Sisters, do you think telling her what I am will change anything?
Brothers & Sisters, do you think I can tell my friends what I am?
Brothers & Sisters, I want to be human.
His lips moved over hers, tasting her lip-gloss's flavor.
Watermelon.
Then the taste disappeared and a slap across his face replaced the comfortable feeling in his gut.
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Lucy was beyond happy about the kiss, so much he could figure. "Don't go around and kiss people randomly!" he yelled in his face, her own redder than a tomato.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, fist shaking as he held back the tears that threatened to escape. "I'm sorry Lucy."
"Saying sorry won't change the fact on why you did so."
"If I say I love you Lucy, would that change the fact why I did it?"
Natsu saw how her face went from angry to shock. She was flabbergasted and paralyzed by his confession. The two of them stood in silence for a minute till Lucy finally fell out of her shocked state. "I-I guess it does." She muttered, her cheeks dusted in a soft color of pink.
"And," Natsu paused, making his beloved woman look up to him. "will you believe me if I say I am a RM-project?"
Brothers & Sisters, I confessed and shared my secret. She said she didn't care if I was an alien or RM, she kissed me.
Brothers & Sisters, I told her what I am, but I have not told her yet what will happen when we finish college.
Brothers & Sisters, we will soon meet again.
Brothers & Sisters, is it wrong to say that I want Lucy?
"Natsu-!" Lucy's gasps filled his ears as he worked his way down her body. His hands caressing the right spots while he kissed her jawline.
They were both naked, Lucy's pink comforter draped over Natsu's back as they worked on their love-making.
Natsu let out a low curse and drew in a breath as Lucy's hands massaged his broad shoulders.
"Lucy," his voice flowed in her mind, making her shiver in pure bliss.
"Yes?" she sighed in wonder.
"Do you want this?"
"I do."
Her answer made something swell inside him. He truly loved this woman. This pure human.
His head leaned down closer to hers.
"I love you." His whisper was low and filled with emotions.
His kiss telling her once again how much he cared for her.
Brothers & Sisters, I will never regret making love to Lucy. I love her more than anything.
Brothers & Sisters, I want to stay with her, forever.
Brothers & Sisters, is there a way to let me escape from this hell?
Brothers & Sisters, will there even be a future for us RM-projects?
My brothers and sisters, we are Roboter Menschen*. We are the military tools.
I am glad you don't have to experience love. It makes you feel happy and it hurts you.
I am glad you don't have any friends. That too makes you happy and hurts you.
It makes you happy because you know you have people who care for you and love you.
It hurts you because you will have to say goodbye and leave the one you love.
Our time together is close.
Your time to meet the world is coming closer.
I am glad you don't have any worry.
Brothers & Sisters, let us not forget what we are.
RM-PROJECT M-777
