I CLOSE my eyes as the music started to kick in. I can feel those intense gaze but I completely ignore it. Inhaling softly before I finally open my eyes and that is the exact moment when the door finally opened- revealing my sister and our parents.

"Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up. And the sun does not appear. I... I will be here. If in the dark we lose sight of love. Hold my hand and have no fear. 'Cause I... I will be here."

I saw my sister eyes clouded with her own tears as she look at me. I smile on her and wink before I continue "I will be here. When you feel like bein' quiet. When you need to speak your mind. I will listen. And I will be here. When the laughter turns to cryin'. Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'. We'll be together. 'Cause I will be here"

I saw how they relationship goes ups and down. I saw how they almost lose each other but still find a way to be together. I'm the witness on how they conquer everything. My eyes went to Zeref and he was looking at my sister lovingly.

The kind of love that my sister's deserve.

My eyes went to the man besides Zeref – and my breath caught in my lungs as the most beautiful pair of orbs stared at me. The intensity that his eyes are giving me made my knees go weak. I can feel my heart beat is getting wild. Everything stopped right at that moment. It was as if time froze and the gravity vanished.

I felt like flying at that time; flying as if I am dense less mass floating in the air.

"Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up. And the future is unclear. I... I'll be here. Just as sure as seasons are made for change. Our lifetimes are made for years. I... I will be here."

I continue to sing but this time my eyes never leave his face. The intensity of his stare just leave me breathless. Something is dancing in his eyes as he listen to me. I tried to ignore it but it was just hard. I swallowed. And then... I remember what happened to us in my condo few days ago.

I wonder if... if I'll get the love that I deserve too. I wonder if there will be a chance that Natsu will understand the meaning of my...

Six letters, two words.

"I will be here. You can cry on my shoulder. When the mirror tells us we're older. I will hold you. And I will be here. To watch you grow in beauty. And tell you all the things you are to me. I will be here.

I will be true. To the promise I have made. To you and to the... One who gave you to me? I... I will be here. And just as sure as seasons are made for change. Our lifetimes are made for years. 'Cause I... I will be here. We'll be together, forever"

Together, forever? I dunno if I deserve that kind of love. But, if ever... if ever that we are not meant for each other. I'll be here. I will pray for his happiness. I smile on him which makes his eyes grew wider and I saw a slight confusion written all over his handsome face.

"Cause I will be here. I will be here"

I CHUCKLE when my father pulled me into a tight hug. I felt him planted a soft kiss on my temple before he let go. My mother chuckle but planted a soft kiss on my temple too before fended off the strand that cover my eyes "I'm so proud of you, baby" my mother said.

"That was the most beautiful thing I ever heard" my father said proudly "I'll definitely listen to this for a lifetime." He said before getting his phone out of his pocket and play a video there.

My eyes got widen when I saw myself – it was the video of me singing on the church while my sister walking down the aisle "Dad!" I almost yell.

My father laugh wholeheartedly and pinch gently my cheeks "You are so adorable. But I really want to meet your boyfriend"

I pouted "Actually, I wanted to meet him too" I said which both my parents laugh.

"Are you sure that you don't have any suitor?" my father ask me curiously – I shook my head as an answer "Why? Is there any problem with you, baby. You are beautiful and lovely. Though, you are a little bit bratty but it can be tame"

I blink my eyes twice trying to comprehend what my father just said. I frowned and cross my arms below my breast "I'm not a brat!"

My mother chuckle before she wrapped her arms around my father's waist "Honey, stop it."

My father pouted "But—"

"Let's go. We need to talk to Zeref's parents and some visitors" my mother look at me and wink which makes me smile "See you later, baby"

"We can't leave her here, honey" my father said frowning "Some jerk might talk to her"

I open my mouth to speak but eventually close it when all of a sudden – a strong arm snaked on my waist – pulling me into his. My eyes got widen and my mouth parted with a sudden contact "I'll stay with her, Mister Heartfilia" his voice is too soft "To give you a peace of mind"

Peace of mind? But how 'bout me? You being here won't give my heart a peace of mind. My eyes went back to my parents – and I saw that... that shine on my father eyes as he look at me. His lips twisted into a smile before nodding.

"Okay" my father said.

What? What does it mean? Okay? Okay as in Natsu is okay to stay with me or Okay he pass your screening to be my boyfriend? Damn! My father is really weird and confusing.

Great -_-

I grimace before pulling away from him "I think, I can handle myself, Dad" I clear my throat before looking at his face "Thank you for your offer, Dragneel—"

"I insist," Natsu said "You are beautiful, Babe. Some jerk might approach you"

"Stop calling me babe" I frowned.

He gave me a confuse look – he lean over me until his face reach my ear "You asked me to call you babe. Which reminds me, you should call me babe too" he whisper.

I know my eyes grew wider as I looked at him – he looks like he was waiting for my answer. He has this playful smile on his lips as if he was satisfied on my reaction. I heard my mother squealing around as if she was watching a damn Korean drama.

My father smile widely before patting Natsu's shoulder and did the thumbs up. My mouth hang open and I was about to say something when my parents leave us.

Damn!
