Six Letters, Two Words [NALU: FANFICTION]

CHAPTER #32

 AFTER our intense make out in his garage. Natsu asked me to stay in his house – we actually cuddled until I told him that I should prepare some dinner for us. He said we would just order but I insisted since I have never cooked him dinner. When I lived here in his house, he often cooked.

He was just quietly watching every move I made and sometimes I could feel him touching my hip.

I look at him "Why don't you just stay in the living room and watch a movie, Natsu?"

He shrugged and smiled at me "I'd rather watch you, babe"

I blush instantly as he laughed. He hug me from behind and I instantly sigh the moment I felt him warm. He put his chin on my shoulder. It's like a leech but I don't mind it.

"I love you, Lucy Heartfilia"

"I know" I smile

He stared at me for a few seconds before he frowned, "How did you love me, babe?" he asked randomly which made my eyes wide open.

I look at him over my shoulder in shock "Are you serious about your question, Natsu?"

"I'm an asshole. I'm fully aware of that part. Aside from that," he said softly - pain crosses into his eyes before he scared my body to face him "I'd hurt you more than I can imagine"

I smile to him "I told you, it wasn't your fault that I was hurt"

He scowled "I was the reason why you'd hurt, Lucy. Of course it's my fault"

"Natsu, listen to me..." I touched both of his cheeks "... it's not your fault that I got hurt while loving you. It's not your fault because you don't know about my feelings. It's my fault for not telling you."

He pouted his lips which I found cute, "You're just saying that because you don't want me to feel guilty" I beam at him which makes his frown deeper "You should at least punch me, babe!"

I stared at him and I had a strong feeling that he wouldn't stop me until I did what he said. I sigh "Okay, I'll punch you"

"Good!" he beamed at me as if he was pleased with my approval.

"Close your eyes"

He frowned "Why? I want to see how you're going to punch me"

"Close your eyes or I'll leave now!" I glare at him.

"As I said..." he let out a nervous laugh "I'll close my eyes now. And I wait for your punch" he said.

I smiled as I watched his face. I don't know how long it will be before I see his face again. I also don't know how long it will take me to build myself again. I caressed his cheeks which made him flinch – I smiled but tears suddenly fell into my eyes.

I'm not sad... or maybe I am. I'm not sure but I'm emotionally unstable right now. I inhale sharply and clear my throat so he wouldn't hear my sobs.

"Babe? How long am I going to wait?"

I couldn't take it anymore, so I punched him in the chest and shouted out nervously "YOU CRAZY ASSHOLE!"

"...Ugh, babe!"

"I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG..." should I stay? Should I not go? But what if... I stay? Am I going to be happy? If I stay, will everything be alright? I don't know what to do! My heart and my mind is full of doubts. "STOP ASKING ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!"

When I finished shouting and hitting him on the chest, I covered my face with my hands and cried "babe, are you angry? Why, what's wrong? Am I asking too much?"
