01 | Stabby Feels Central Ahoy

Date & Time: 6th January, Night time

Location: Lucy's room or more precisely Lucy's bed

Characters: Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia

Summary: Natsu goes to Lucy's room to figure out how to give his friend the worst kind of news.

Warnings: Lots of feels but other than that nothing much.


Dark. The dark would help him focus. Her scent would help imagine her in his head and allow him to play out way after way to reveal his deception to Lucy. Natsu was never one to meditate this much on any topic. But this, this was something beyond serious. Erza told him to tell the truth as soon as possible but every method and angle he tried until now only ended in the bitter scent of Lucy's tears. And honestly how could it end any other way? To find out that all of her family is dead. Gone before she could ever make amends.

There he was, sitting cross legged atop her bed his head in his hands as he growled his frustration through gritted teeth. Why? Why was there no way to not make her suffer like that again? She didn't deserve this. She was Lucy of Fairy Tail. She never wronged or hurt anyone. So then why did she have to lose everything beyond fairy Tail? She was not like the rest of them yet. She still had him despite the flaws. And Natsu could see he did love her especially that one time they went to pick her up when she ran off to her father's guild where a robbery took place. He saw that look. The look of a loving and proud father.

So then why couldn't he wait a month more? A year more? At least a week more after they came out of the First Master's spell. Stupid sickness. Stupid unfair fate conspiring against a kind and strong girl. A girl who laughed off the danger of having her skull crushed, choosing to stay with him trapped underneath stone. Why did he have to hurt that kind of girl?

Before Natsu could think on that any further though he heard the door to the apartment open and in came a fresher waft of the scent he had been inhaling for several hours now. He wasn't ready. But then he would never be ready. This was going to hurt her one way or another. So he sat there, head hung low trying to decide what kind face he would greet Lucy with

Damn your loopholes Natsu! But with the agreement set in stone, per se, and Lucy unable to keep her eyes open anymore, she shifted into a more comfortable position in his arms, drifting off.

As for when she woke up in the morning, she would probably smile. Riiight up until she realized Natsu was awake too, in which case she'd predictably freak out and kick him out of the bed. But for now, he has a sleeping Lucy treasure.
