"Lucy, we have words to talk again." Erza said making Lucy bath in her sweat.

"W-what is it?" Lucy ask nervously as she hadn't ready for what she would hear next.

"Here." Erza said, giving her a brown box.

"What's this?" Lucy ask as she take the brown box slowly.

"Just open it." Erza said. Lucy didn't answer as she has open the box.

Lucy cupped her mouth as the box fall to the floor. Keys and letter fall out from the box. Slowly, Lucy fall to her knee. Her hand shakily take the keys as she remember she used to be friend with these keys.

Her tears has fall to the floor. And that's when she notice the letter. She took it hesitantly.

Lucy,
I'm sorry, okay? I can't help it. You look exactly like your mother that it hurt me. Layla was a kind hearted person. She always make the people around her happy. Losing her was my greatest pain. That's why I start to abandon you. I didn't want to remember her. Cause everytime i remember her, the heart will always ache. I'm sorry, okay? I love you, always and still.
Your papa.

The tears has come down like river. She didn't know that her father still love her. All she know is that her father has forget her. She never expected this.

"E-erza.." She said between her sobs.

"I'm sorry for bringing such sad news but you have to know." Erza said with an apologitic smile. Lucy shook her head softly.

"Mmm, please tell the others that i'll be at the park." Lucy said. Erza nod her head, agreeing on her. She will need time for this.

So, slowly and quietly, Lucy make her way out from the guild to the town's park. There weren't many people there, as if they know that she want to be alone.

Lucy sit under a sakura blossom tree. She sit quietly for a moment. Her brain processing all the story Erza told her. It was so sudden. How could the world be so cruel?!

"I hate you, papa." She mumble before moving her knee to her chest. She buried her face between her knee and start to cry there. People start to give her a strange look but she ignore it.

"Luce." She could hear the dragon's soft sound calling for her.

"Natsu?" She ask as she lift her head to greet him.

Natsu's hand was starting to clench tightly. What he saw was a horrible scene. There, Lucy's face was full of tears. He hate it if she cry. So, slowly he made his way to her, kneeling in front of him, and running his thumb to her face to wipe the tears away.

"Don't cry." Natsu said softly.

"I'm not crying.." Lucy mumble stubbornly making Natsu laugh in amusement.

"You are, weirdo." Natsu tease her.

"Who did you call weirdo, idiot?!" She shriek. Her father problem being forgotten.

"Ahhh! Devil Lucy is coming!" Natsu said, acting as if he is teriffied.

This somehow make Lucy smile softly. Natsu always manage to make her smile. He will always make sure that she was okay. He will make sure that she always smile and happy. And she will try to do the same to him.

"There! Your smile is back!" Natsu shout happily as his pointer finger point to her smile. Natsu always make her smile.

"Ne, Natsu." Lucy said suddenly, leaning her head to his shoulder as Natsu hum softly.

"Did you hate your father?" Lucy ask.

"You mean Igneel?" Natsu ask back.

"No, I mean your real father." She said, closing her eyes.

"Well, how can I say this? Sometimes I would feel like hating him for abandoning me. But then I started to think, there must have been reason to why he abandon me." Natsu said as he too leaning his head to her head.

"But Natsu, I hate my father." Lucy said sadly. Her eyes were now open, showing her anger and sadness.

"He was a very lovely father once. He brought me anything I want, he took me everywhere, and he always said that he love me right before I sleep. But then, my mother died because of some illness, my father become so distant. I though that maybe I could cheer him up, so I tried to make him go to the park with me one day. I even make him a bento and it's also my birthday. But all I got was a slap and a yelling. He lied, Natsu. He never love me and he always hate me. That's what I think until today. He write me a letter, saying that he was sorry, that he actually love me so much. I never know he was hurting too. I was such a bad daughter, Natsu!" She confessed. She didn't care if the tears were now falling back again. All she want was to see her father and spend days with him again.

"Sometimes people make mistake." Natsu start, caressing her hair softly.

"People will always make mistake. Even for someone who look perfect, there will always once she/he make mistake. When a people make mistake and they realize it, they will regret and start to blame themselves. But try to think why did you make the mistake. You didn't make any mistake. It was just that you think it was the best way to solve the problem. You didn't know your father actually love you because all he gave to you was a cold shoulder." Natsu said, his hand has now caressing her cheek as his thumb slowly wipe the tears.

"You're wrong but also right." Natsu finished his speech.

"You think so?" Lucy ask unsurely. She lift her head to look at him. His eyes were filled with many emotions, hurt, sadness, anger, all.

"Hmm." He hum again softly.

"I love you, Natsu." She said softly as she hug him tight.

"I love you too." He said, his hand moving in a circle since on her back to calm her down.
