My Beloved Fake Wife -Nalu AU

Chapter 31 Natsu's Premiere

(3rd person/Normal POV)

The movie was about a character, Salamander, getting into a big fight with the same enemy from the last movie.

~~After the movie

Natsu, Happy, and the rest of the cast went up to the stage, and bowed. Cheers filled the theater.

"Thank you everyone for coming! And if yall want to hit the afterparty, just cross the street, and around the corner. We'll see you there!"

"Wooo!!!" Everyone started to get up and scatter around the cinema.
~~~~~~~

(Lucy's POV)

We reached the afterparty destination, and Natsu and I were in another VIP section, of course. We sat together on a couch, drinks in hand.

"I'm not sure I want to get drunk today," I noted.

"Me either," Natsu still took a sip of beer,"So I'm going light."

"Mkay. Just don't go overboard. I don't want to be your sober escort home again..."

"I'll be careful," Natsu smiled at me. Suddenly that smile triggered something in me. But what was it?

I nodded and smiled a little back, I then noticed something's missing. "Where's Happy?"

"He's probably finding fish," Natsu replied,"Or that Carla is here and Happy wants to talk to her."

"Oh?" I drank a little sip of beer,"Carla and Happy have a thing?"

"Carla doesn't think so, I think."

"How do you know?"

"She can talk."

"Carla talks too?!" I jumped a little in my seat.

"Yup. Even Gajeel's cat, Pantherlily."

"Wow..."

"Oh, how lovely!" Natsu and I quickly turned to that familiar voice.

"Gus?!"

"You remember me," Gus sat down across from us,"And I thought you two forgot me."

"How can we forget such an amazing, talented agent?" I replied, smiling.

Gus smiled back,"Okay, I forgive you. But Natsu," he looked at him,"We still need to raincheck."

"Oh yeah," Natsu laughed awkwardly,"Sorry I was um...busy."

"Uh huh."

"How about I just call you?"

"Fine," Gus nodded,"Hey waiter~! Can you please get me some tequila? Thank you."

"Hey Gus, why don't you get yourself a lover?" I shrugged.

"Huh?"

"You know how much time Natsu and I spend together. I don't want you to feel left out. So why don't you get one?"

"Pfft!" Gus laughed.

"Huh? Why's he laughing? Natsu?" I turned to him, he was snickering. I crossed my arms, frowning.

"Gus? Dating?" Natsu laughed with Gus.

"You're too funny, Lucy!"

"Seriously, how is it funny?!"

"I really appreciate you looking out for me, Lucy," Gus wiped away his tear of joy,"But I don't date. I do flirt with girls, don't get me wrong, but I can't stay with one. I guess I have commitment issues with women."

"What in the world does that mean?" Natsu raised a brow. I rolled my eyes.

"It means Gus can never stick with one person for a long time. So it'll be hard for him to marry."

"Ooooh!"

"Yeah, Lucy's right," Gus sighed.

"Enough of the serious talk, guys," Natsu grabbed our hands,"Let's go party!"
~~~~~~~~~

Everyone danced, drank, laughed, and partied. I was now at home, since the afterparty ended. Sadly, Natsu isn't sleeping over tonight. Natsu and Gus are probably hanging out at Natsu's place.

Now it feels so...empty.

I changed into pjs and slipped into bed.

I can't sleep.

I tossed and turned, trying to find a comfortable spot.

Then I realized, I remember Natsu cuddling me in his arms, that's when I was comfortable. Sighing, knowing that I can't go back to being romantic with him, I closed my eyes.
All I can think about is him. Why?

Ugh. I can't go through this again! I can't....but my heart did it anyway.

I can't believe it. I fell in love with Natsu again.

••••The Next Day

(Natsu's POV)

Lucy and I agreed to met up outside a coffee shop. I planned a date for us today, and I have a little present for her in my pocket.

"Ah, Lucy!" I called out as I saw her figure walking towards me.

"Morning, Natsu," Lucy smiled,"What's with you all of a sudden? You're all...happy."

"Well Lucy, I realized that..." Come on Natsu, you can do this! You practiced in the mirror last night, just say it! "I lo-"
