Modern AU
It had been three weeks since Natsu had even smiled in my direction, and I was his wife. We had three kids, which I take care of every moment of my day, but he couldn't even smile at me. We had a fight a week ago and I found divorce papers hidden in his desk, and for the record no. I wasn't snooping, our youngest child had been going through his desk, I was cleaning up after the child. I couldn't believe my eyes, he had been my one and only for the seven years we'd been married and the four years before when we were just dating. I didn't mention the papers, but he hurt me emotionally when he accused me of doing nothing all day. I had stormed out of the house and stayed at a friends house for three days, where me and the kids are still sleeping. Lucy, our oldest was seven and usually very upbeat and happy was actually very upset by all of this. Gray, our middle child who was six, didn't really understand much except that we were both upset. Erza, our three year old still needed me at the least.
"Mommy... When are you and Daddy going to make up?" Lucy asked with bright (e/c) eyes, the only thing she got from me. Everything else about her was her father.
"I don't know sweetheart, but we're going to be staying with Autie Mirajane until we do okay?" I said giving her a vain smile. It probably wouldn't ever be okay or even the same ever again. He had fallen out of love, leaving me up in love still.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An hour after after Lucy and I had a talk, Natsu and Mirajane busted into the room, Mira first. He was all dressed up, but he looked more than angry as he glanced at me, making my heart break more.
"I think I'll be leaving." I muttered trying to not cry in front of the children. Of course it had to be the day whenever I felt okay enough to see him, Mirajane had even given me this pretty dress this morning (by give I mean she forced me into it). Elfman, Mirajane's brother, stopped me from running out. Mirajane took ahold of my hand and dragged me outside, with Natsu in her other hand, to a limousine before she forced us both inside. But as soon as I had managed to go for the door, it locked from the outside, maybe an overgrown child lock, and I was stuck inside with Natsu. I didn't know who was driving since the glass was up, not allowing us to see, but I had a feeling it was Lisanna, Mirajane's sister. I glanced Over at Natsu for just one moment, which was a mistake on my part. He was scowling at me, and looked as though he were going to maybe start a fight. Why not get it over with?
"I saw the papers. I'll fill them out, but I want custody of the children." I said looking out he window trying to not cry.
"What papers?" He asked, but I could still hear the anger in his voice.
"The divorce papers. I don't want anything of yours, I just want custody of the kids.." I mumbled looking down at my lap. Truth be told, I didn't want this, I wanted to fix everything. But I had a feeling it was far to wrong to fix.
"Why were you going through my stuff?!" He nearly yelled, his anger only getting worse.
"I wasn't... I never went through your things Natsu..." I mumbled on the brink of tears yet again. "Erza was going through your lowest desk shelves, I just cleaned up after her...." I closed my eyes trying to not cry.
"Yeah. Sure. Like I believe that." He grumbled and I could tell h was about to start yelling at me but a voice came over the intercom in the car.
"Natsu. Quit being a dick." Lisanna's voice had rang out and I tried to not laugh considering that would only make things even worse. I managed to keep my fit of giggles to myself as Natsu grumbled unhappily.
"When did we change?" I mumbled sadly, looking at my hands.
"What?" He snapped.
"When did we change? We used to be so happy. You couldn't stop smiling at me whenever we were together, now all you do is scowl at me and make me sad. I suppose what I mean is, When did you fall out of love with me? Who do you love now?" I couldn't hold it in anymore, I began to cry softly. All I wanted was for the man I've loved for over a decade, to love me again. "What's wrong with me? What did I do to make you hate me?" I couldn't keep my thoughts to myself, so I reached over and hit the button to talk to Lisanna. "Lisanna, let me out please." I sobbed softly and I heard the familiar sound of a lock clicking and opened the door, running down the street of the town.
"(Y/N)!" Natsu called out after me, he sounded worried but I didn't care. He would just be even more angry at me for running from my problems, but I couldn't even deal with anyone anymore. I knew the streets like the back of my hands. I ran over to an alleyway and took off the stupid heals I was forced to wear. I held them in my hands as I ran further until I got at a bar, going inside. I already knew all of the details of the place, I had memorized the place whenever Natsu had taken me here the first time. I went over to the bar attendant and knocked on the wood, luckily it was someone I had known, Loke.
"You look rough." He mentioned pouring me a glass of something I hoped was strong. He handed me the glass with a sad smile. "What happened? Where Nasty?" He said in a joking tone, but I wasn't in the mood for jokes.
"It's Natsu. And I don't know. "He hasn't smiled at me in three weeks, we got into a fight a week or two ago, and now all he does is snap at me and scowl at me... Where did I go wrong? What did I do? Why has he fallen out of love with me?" I tried to stay a bit more calm, but it was hard. I heard the door open but I paid no mind to it, nor did I when the person sat next to me.
"I can't answer any of those. I'm not him." I closed my eye and tried as hard as possible to not cry, after all he said that one of my best traits was how optimistic I usually was. I shouldn't be crying, but how can I be happy when for the past three weeks my heart has been broken almost every day. I let out all my heartache out and when I  was nearly done, the person next to me wrapped their arms around me gently, almost as though they were scared to break me.
"I'm so sorry (Y/N)." My breath caught in my throat when I heard his voice. He didn't have any sort of anger I his voice as he spoke, if anything he sounded sorry and sad, but kept going. "I didn't fall out of love with you, nor do I love anyone else... And there's nothing wrong with you, there never has. I was just being petty and stupid and I'm sorry. I don't hate you. I love you. I always have." He gently nuzzled me and if I had to guess, was trying to get me to look at him. I opened my eyes and looked over at him before I pulled him into a hug.
"You are such an idiot..." I mumbled into his chest, my tears wouldn't stop even as he rubbed my back. I'd have to ask him about why he had been petty later, right now I was just enjoying being in his presence. "But you're my idiot, and I love you..." I mumbled looking up at him with a soft smile, leaning up and giving him a kiss on the cheek. I pulled away from as a certain familiar song came on. Both of us blushes softly, looking to the ground as we heard what we called our song. I took ahold of his arm with a soft giggle as I lead him out to the dance floor and wrapped my arms around his neck. The thing about us, is that we loved to mess with people and slow dance to songs that would get most people headbanging. Our song, was a song that made me remember how much we loved each other whenever we had fought a few years ago. The song? Follow you into the dark by Deathcab for Cuties. He laughed softly and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"I didn't get the papers. A spokesperson for lawyers or whatever came by and offered one. I was gonna laugh about it with you but never got around to it..." He mumbled, leaning his forehead against mine.
"Shut up and dance with me, my love." I said giggling. And he did. And we dance there in that bar the rest of the night.
