Missing in Action

Who: Lucy Heartfilia and OPEN
What: One (1) Dragon Slayer is M.I.A. One (1) Celestial Wizard is unhappy and searching.
When: 11/17/13
Where: Everywhere~
Warnings: Sad Wizards Being Sad :(


It was strange when she woke up and Natsu wasn't there. She almost expected him to always be there, or at the very least, nearby. She promised him only a few days before that she would stay close to him. She trusted him to keep her safe, and she was happiest at his side. He was her very most important and dearest friend.

He wasn't always in her room, though of late she woke up and found him in her bed more frequently. She'd gotten use to the warmth he gave off - but when she woke up that day her bed was emptier, cooler. He wasn't anywhere in the shared apartments they had, but she didn't really get worried until an hour passed with no sign of him.

So she went looking for him. Despite what was going on with the mutiny, and being unable to use the network, it was the only option she had. Erza had suggested they all split up to look for him - maybe one of them could find him in a place Lucy hadn't checked, or maybe she just missed him. If nothing else, more people searching should find him more quickly.

As for Lucy, she checked the clinic frequently, praying she wouldn't find him there, and more relieved when she didn't. Then weary, then frantic. She would be unhappy if she lost Juvia, or Erza again but Natsu... for him not to be here, she'd be... heartbroken. He couldn't be gone. He promised. And she knew going back home wasn't something they could control but ...

By afternoon her heart was heavy, calling out her friend's name until her voice was raw, part of her knowing she wouldn't find him, but still hoping she would. She wanted to cry. Wanted to, but wouldn't - not until she returned to her room and could cry in private. Instead she was knocking on every door she came to in search of the salmon haired Dragon Slayer to come up empty, and each time her heart breaking a little more. "Natsu~!"

"... Ah."

Unfortunately, Pidonus had a good guess as to why... But she did not dare state it.

"I... Ah."

Walking in a bit, she sighed. "A... Are you all right?"

No, of course she wasn't. That was stupid to ask, and Pidonus knew it. But... Something told her that conversation was the right thing to try and do, right now.

"That's right. He'll be back soon enough."

Pidonus managed to smile at that. She couldn't be completely certain Lucy was right... But hope mattered, and it was a common enough thing for such disappearances to be a few days.

It didn't hurt that it wasn't part of some apparent mass exodus.

"You'll be able to keep kicking enough butt to make up his share until he's back, right?"

"That's the smart path, I think," Pidonus said in response to the mutiny.

"And... Well, yeah. Natsu's like that, huh?"

"... No, actually. Besides that Erza leading it is apparently some sort of nightmare?"
have_hat_will_travel: (Huhwhat?)

"The look on my face makes me question that a bit..."
