NaLu: The Story Of Us

▷▶Chapter 11◀◁

"You done, Lucy? Let's go" Gray pulled me up, and dragged my luggage behind him. I scanned the room. A flashback of me in green hair and glasses examining the room floated into my head. I shoved it away violently and smiled brightly. "Goodbye room", I said aloud, and strolled out of the room, Gray following behind me. Suddenly, a body with it's chest at my eye level stepped in front of me, blocking my way to the door. The chest that looked familiar...the mint scent...shit. I looked up and into cold onyx eyes that showed bitter hate and hurt.

Natsu?

A white haired girl walked out from behind him.

Lisanna?

~Natsu's P. O. V. ~

With Lisanna still latched on my arm, and her friends Vio and Arys gossiping and giggling and flirting shamelessly with me, I exited the ice cream parlor and entered the car, Lisanna getting in with me. Vio and Arys stayed back cuz Lisanna made them, but they still winked and waved at me. I half smiled at them and drove off. "Ne, Natsu," Lisanna purred, "remember our childhood days?" "Yeah" I casually answered. "I always went over to your house and played. Your parents were really nice." Lisanna said. "Were", huh. "Mm" I grunted, not in the mood for anything more than one word. After the outburst with Lucy, I didn't even have the mood to enjoy ice cream. A giggly trio of shameless flirts made it worse. Lisanna seemed to have taken to sticking by my side after me and Lucy argued. Well we didn't argue, I shouted at her. Was I too harsh? I shook my head. She treated me as a fling when I was serious with her. I was hardly serious with anyone. I remained silent for the whole car ride, leaving Lisanna to chatter about our childhood memories. Honestly I had not given a flying f*** to them ever since Lucy's appearance. I cared even less now.

When we finally reached the door of my house, the door was unlocked and Gray's car was parked outside. Shit. I smelled vanilla and strawberries, and a hint of sugar and snowcones. Crap. No no no...

I slammed open the door and ran in, with Lisanna hot on my heels, and came face to face with Lucy. Okay, my collarbone to her face. I froze and saw Gray carrying her luggage. "What the hell is the meaning of this." I spoke, low and dangerous. It was more of a statement than a question. Nobody answered. "ANSWER ME. LUCY. GRAY. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" I roared, punching the wall. Lisanna touched my shoulder, saying "Natsu, calm down. She's leaving. Now there's a room for me to stay, remember? I'm moving in." I stood rigid, silent. I was too pissed to bother explaining that Lisanna was bullshitting. Lucy breathed in sharply, her head dropping, her fringe shadowing her eyes. I saw a tear rolling down her face. My heart and stomach twisted. But I stood resolute. Gray held Lucy's hand and led her past me, but I grabbed Gray's collar and stopped him. "Te me, Gray Heartfilia. What the f*** do you think you're doing?" I growled, hoisting him up. "Let go of him." Lucy spoke quietly. "You heard my sister. Hanase." He growled back, wrenching my fists off his collar." "Lucy. The hell are you doing." I asked. "Isn't it obvious, Natsu? I'm moving out. Thanks for letting me stay, even if it was just for two nights. I'm going to move in with my brother now." Lucy looked up at me. I searched her eyes and found anger, hate, and...hurt? "You're done toying with me, so you're leaving?" I taunted, my voice laced with venom. She shook and tears started falling on the floor. "Ki sama...make my sister cry again...and I will..." Gray clenched his fists together and glowered at me murderously. I had never seen Gray like this. Then again I had never seen myself like this. "What, cat got your tongue?" I challenged.

"Damare." (Lucy)

"I was just one of your flings. Now that you're done tasting my lips and sleeping with me you're ditching me?"

"DAMARE. DAMARE. DAMARE! YOU THINK YOURE THE ONLY ONE WHO'S BROKEN HERE? YOU THINK IM HAPPY MOVING OUT? WHO TOLD ME TO GET OUT OF HIS SIGHT? NOW THAT IM DOING WHAT YOU SAID YOU GET ANGRY? DON'T YOU HAVE LISANNA, DRAGNEEL? I HAVE NO ONE. YOU SAY I HAVE FLINGS. YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF TO BE ONE OF THEM. THEN GO AHEAD. I CAN'T CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK. BUT IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET ME EXPLAIN AND JUST SHOUT AT ME AND HURT ME JUST BECAUSE SOME BITCH TOLD YOU THE UGLY FRAGMENTS OF MY PAST, THEN BE MY GUEST. I'M TIRED. IM F***ING TIRED." Lucy screamed, tears flowing from her eyes, her voice hoarse and shaky and turbulent and filled with anguish.

Silence filled the room.

I was shocked. More than anything, I was shocked.

Nobody said anything for a while. Lucy was left sobbing and hiccuping like mad. Gray pulled her into his chest and she sobbed there. Gray patted her head and whispered soothingly, "there there Lucy, don't cry. Nii-san is here." He looked up and glared daggers at me. He then picked up her up bridal style, with her still hiding her face in his chest, and carried her out to his car. When he came back to retrieve the luggage, he spoke dangerously and murderously:

"Dragneel, Strauss; you will regret doing what you did to my sister."

And he left.

I just realized that Gray hasn't really stripped in these ten chapters...assume that Lucy kept his habit in check. Vio and Arys are OCs, just for a few parts or maybe only one part of the story, I don't know. If anyone is named Vio or Arya, I'm really sorry I don't mean any insult or harm I just made them up for the story.

Ughhhh I'm so pissed rn HOW COULD YOU NATSU YOURE TREATING LUCY LIKE TRASH...

On the other hand, Gray was portrayed as this very overprotective and loving brother.

NATSU YOU WILL REGRET HURTING LUCY *picks up knife and brandishes it*
