The Runaway

Chapter 32: What I say,is what you know pt3

I thank you all for giving my story and me your support.To be honest, I never had the intention to bring that topic to public, but it seems like a really snapped. I apologize for involving you, It never really crossed my mind to go that far.

Oh. The reason why my update is delayed was because, I got addicted to a game Unbeknowst-to-you and I made. It's called 'Out of Stupidity'. You know, we act stupid and whoever gives a smart comment loses. Actually, that game was more like a dare but I kinda enjoyed it.

=========+=======+========+=========+

"Do as you wish," Natsu answered nonchalantly. Loke frowned.

"Matter what you say, I don't care. I'll prove myself to Lucy. What you say doesn't matter," He said. Natsu frowned at this.

"If one person doesn't agree with you two, how much more with the other?" Natsu hummed. Loke scowled at him.

"The others are not like you. They will understand," Loke protested. Natsu wanted to laugh at his antics but he already did the damage to both Lucy and Loke. Laughing would only make them think they're being degraded.

"Loke, you already know I don't judge people easily. Saying you're not worthy would only make them think it's true. Don't say that my comments doesn't matter, because even one person can make so much change," Natsu said, he was serious. Loke could immediately tell, he has a point. But he's not letting it stop him.

" You're right," Loke answered lowly. Natsu's eyes widen, he didn't expect Loke to agree. "But still. I won't just stand at the corner anymore. I won't let the other hurt her anymore, and I won't let you get in my anymore."

"You've been with her for so long. How come you're making your move now?" Natsu hissed. Loke paused. He suddenly turned to side and his face exploded in pink. Natsu stared dumbly at him. "Uhhh...." Natsu was lost is words. Okay, now he can see that Loke is serious.

"W-well. T-that's because, no one really made a m-move on her. I.. uhh... don't think I.... I s-should anyway," Loke stammered. Natsu can barely understand he said. Loke looked like a high school girl with a distant crush.

"Ah. I...I see." Natsu replied dumbly. He sighed, it was time to dismiss unwanted thoughts and get to the conversation down right straight. "Loke. Lucy is not one those girls who will just simply kneel in front of you," He said .Loke's eyes darken.

"Hey. Even I know that!" He yelled. Natsu quirk a brow at him.

"Do you now..." Natsu sounded so high and mighty, as if he was mocking and joking.

"Of course I do. Lucy is different from the other girls. She doesn't even give a damn about me. At least I know that she's not in for me just for my looks!" Loke yelled. "At least I know that I have to... work for her." He said in a low tone. "I know I have to do something to deserve her," He looked up and locked gazes with Natsu.

"That's what you've been telling me this entire time, right?" He said. Natsu didn't utter a word. "Natsu. You're right. I don't deserve her... yet. But, that doesn't give you the right to tell me to stay away from her," He brought his hand to his chest. " I love her. I really do. You're not gonna stop me. I'll prove myself to you if I have to," Loke held firm to his words. It's no joke. Natsu chuckles turned into heart-warming laughter. "What's so damn funny?" Loke snapped.

"You, "Natsu pointed and stared at him. Loke shared the same look but with pure ridicule and anger. Natsu chuckled again, Loke heard that simple, soft laugh and he felt like a strong gust of wind hit his chest, making his heart skip a beat for a moment. "Loke, tell me. Did I ever mention that I want you to prove yourself to me?" He asked. Loke frowned.
