The Star Goddess (NaLu Fanfic)

Chapter 26: By the Sunset

Chapter 26

Lucy's POV

  It's already 5:58 pm. The sun is currently setting. We all decided to split up not so long ago. Now, me and Natsu are standing by the hill, over looking the town. This was were Erza appointed us which i'm really grateful, for the setting sun is perfectly at view.

  The blasting colors of yellow and red was at sight as i gazed upon the vast sky. A flock of white doves racing over the clouds. And the breeze that brings an utterly peaceful sound. It's such a beautiful place indeed.

  "Luce." My train of thoughts were cut short when a voice suddenly arose from behind. Just then, i remembered that i was not alone. That Natsu was here with me.. i can only feel de ja vou

  "Are you alright?" He continued, gazing at me. I stared back at his onxy eyes. They were black as night and probably as deep as a well.. Somehow, i can't take my gaze off his orbs. It's as if i'm slowly getting lost at them.

  "O-Of cours-"

  "Cut the lies, Lucy. I'm your bestfriend which means i can easily see through you. I let you go on with your facade when we're with the rest. But now, considering we're alone, i'm asking you again. Are you alright?" I can't help but flinch at the seriousness of his tone. But he's indeed right... but still..

  "Natsu, your b-being paranoid. I'm a-alrigh-"

  "But your not! I'm tired of your lies, Lucy. I want to hear the truth. I want to know what's bothering you. I want to help. I want to be your shoulder to cry on. So, please. Your not just hurting yourself, but also me at the process." He placed both his hands on each side of my shoulders, in a comforting manner.

  His words laced with concern and worry and his piercing gaze locked on me which made my legs weak. His giving me the assurance of comfort that i've been dying to feel since all the problems arose.

  I can't take it anymore. All the tears that i've been holding, flowed endlessly on my cream cheeks. And all the pressure, worry, sadness and guilt that weighed on my shoulders, decreased ever-so-lightly. But it is still there. Somehow, i can't still tell him the whole truth. Not now, atleast.

  All my tears backfired on me even more once i felt a pair of warm arms enveloping me to a hug. Before i knew it, i was crying my eyes out on Natsu's chest, competely soaking his shirt.

  "Shhhhhh, just let it all out." I heard his soft voice whisper on my ear which somehow send me the chills.

  We stood there by the hill, with me on his arms and the sunset as our background. It was somehow a romantic scene, if you ask me. But apparently it's not the case for Natsu and I are not romantically attached. Even though, i wish we were.

  Another minute had passed, my soft whimpers and sobs seemed to die down as my tears stopped. Sensing that I was feeling better, Natsu released me from his arms.

  "I'm sorry, Luce. I shouldn't have pry on you like that. Its just..... i'm frustrated. I kept on seeing you down and i can't accept the fact that i know nothing on what's going on with you." He said, softly.

  "N-Natsu.."

  "I can see myself as a lousy bestfriend who can't even tend to your needs. Its just-"

  "Just shut up, Natsu. I should be the one apologizing. I'm the one who refuses to tell you the problem. And stop labeling yourself as a lousy bestfriend. Your an amazing and great friend. And i'm so lucky to have you."

  I smiled to prove my point and this time, it's a true one. I just can't help but feel all warm inside hearing Natsu's little confession. It just seems that he cares for me, a lot.

Ring Ring Ring

  Our little moment was soon interrupted as my phone started to ring. Unwillingly, i fished out my phone and saw that Erza was calling.

  "Hello? Erza?"

  "Lucy! Is Natsu with you?" I kind of cringed hearing her shout over the phone. Panic seems to be evident on Erza's voice which caused me to also worry.

  "Yeah, why?"

  "Good. Where are you two exactly?" I glanced at Natsu who was wearing a frown on his face which made him look kinda cute. 'Wait. What am I thingking?!'

  "Northern side of town as we planned. Exactly at the top of a hill that overlooks the town. Why?"

  "Listen carefully, Lucy. I just received a call from Happy. Don't panic but it seems that a horde of demons are coming your way."

Ummmmmmm, hey!

  I know. I didn't update last week. Its just that our fieldtrip was held last Friday which made us all busy. Not to mention that our Foundation Week will be held next week.. *sigh*

  I'm just stressed out. I hope all of you understand....

  I was suppose to write two chapters yesterday but it seems that my soul was missing. After riding a mind blowing ride on our fieldtrip, my soul seemed to seperate from my body. You know what i mean? 'Naiwan yung kaluluwa ko sa ride na yun'.

  Sorry about that...... i know this chapter doesn't seem to good, but i promise. The next ones will be action-packed! Just wait! ^____^
