Chapter 8
Bruh! I was writing this chapter, it should be in Nobody's POV, but when I read to check of everything was out of order I freaking used half of the time first person😂🤦♀️🤦♀️
~Lucy's POV
"So I was wondering, Natsu," I began while Natsu was working in his office. Natsu continued but raised an eyebrow, showing he was listening. "We are together for more than 6 years already, but we never discussed our relationships we had before we met each other."
Natsu hmm'ed, not looking up. "Why does that matter?"
I shrugged.
Can't I just be curious? "But can I ask? Then you can ask me too."
Natsu sighed. He looked at me, his lips slightly apart. "Yes, you can," he said with a dramatic eyeroll.
He picked up his pen again, being good at multitasking only has its benefits.
"Okay, who were your girlfriends?"
Natsu chuckled. "Though I don't see the point in this... Only Clarissa, Luce, only her."
I dropped my mouth about that. He only had one girlfriend before me? That's shocking, because to be honest I expected him to be a player when he was younger. "B-but why?"
I couldn't help it.
"She was my first crush, so I wasn't interested in anyone else. You?"
"I had three boyfriends. One I knew from my childhood, his name is Jack Lates. Another in middle school was Antonio Vaons and the last one was in high school. I had been in a relationship for three years till he cheated. And I truly did love him, but I guess it wasn't enough."
I hope he didn't notice why I said the names of my first and second exes but not of my third.
Natsu raised his eyebrow as he glanced at me, tilting his head for a dramatic effect. "Who was the bastard that broke your heart?"
Damnit, I should stop underestimating him.
Thinking back at it made me feel resigned. On our anniversary he decided to cheat. I wanted to know his exes, because I wanted to know if there were more people like Clarissa. But I'm such a hypocrite for not wanting to talk about mine.
Natsu gave me a warning look. "You are my wife now. I don't want you to give some men in the past a second thought," he said harshly, dropping all his occupations and walked to me.
I looked down, tucking a hair strand behind my ear. He placed his hand under my chin, lifting it up to make me look at him.
"Haven't I taught you to never look down during a conversation?" he said again, furrowing his eyebrows.
I nodded. One of the things I absolutely adore about him, is that he really wants the best for me. He didn't let other people do stuff for me, wanting me to learn it myself. He wanted me to succeed in every way I want to.
And I wanted to be able to command respect. So I put on my best poker-face and opened my mouth.
"Jason Ryon."
Natsu put an arm around me, and went to my ear, "Do you want me to kill him?" he whispered.
I shook my head, but smiled at him. He wants to kill people for me, people who he didn't even know. Of course I don't stand behind the killing, but the meaning why he wanted to kill...
"I'm not stupid. You were jealous of Clarissa, so you wanted to know about more future 'threats'. Luce, you are my only woman, the only woman I have my eyes for, the only woman who deserves my time much more than others."
Natsu said, but then sheepishly smiled. "Minus Wendy of course."
I laughed and then hugged him. I didn't doubt for a second he was lying.
"You sure you won't want that Jason dead?"
I nodded. "No, but still thank you." He smiled and kissed my forehead and then went back to work.
Suddenly Gray walked in, looking very serious. Did I forget to mention he was now the CEO of the Fullbuster cooperation? Well, he is. But just like Natsu he secretly combined it. Gray had staines on his suit.
He went to Natsu and whispered something in his ear. The next moment Nash came in sobbing. My eyes went wide, which parent wouldn't?
Nash ran to me and embraced me. Natsu walked to me with Gray behind him. He looked outraged. He had his hands in a fist.
"I have business to do, take care of Nash for me," he ordered and kissed Nash softly on the head.
Nash looked in his eyes for a moment, biting his lip when he saw Natsu's harsh glare. It washing directed towards him though. Natsu squatted down for a second and ruffled Nash's hair.
"I love you so much. I'm glad you're safe," he said before walking away.
Then I made the connection. Gray probably whispered the one who made Nash cry.
Even though he is my husband, if you ever got him angry angry, you're dead.
Five minutes later Nash was breathing normally again. I was continued stroking his hair. "What happened?"
I remember giving Nash to Gray and Juvia to babysit. I wanted to argue with them, saying they got better things to do, but they insisted. Nash was like a son to them.
"I was walking through the park with Gray and Juvia at my side, but then we got attacked. There were like five men, but Gray managed to take them out with Juvia's help. But what they didn't know was that an other man tried to take me. I tried kicking him, but... but I didn't stand a change. I was thrown over the shoulder. Before they could throw me in a bus, Gray got him. Mum, I was so scared."
Then his sobbing turned almost silence. "Shush, Nash. I understand. I and everyone else are here for you," I said softly.
"No, you wouldn't! Because father always makes time for you and will protect you at all cost! I'm just a hopeless failure. Dad won't save me!" he cried out loud. My feelings crashed down. Why would he think that? Above all from his father?
"Nash, why would you think that? I don't remember him giving you a reason to think that," I asked, trying my best to keep my voice light.
His eyes became darker. "He doesn't need a reason to say it, I can see it in his eyes. The way he looks at me! He is nothing but disappointed in me!"
I sighed, not wanting to yell at him, but he seemed lost in his own thoughts. "Nash! He is my husband and as his wife I know him the best. He loves you deeply, he would do everything to get you back when you are kidnapped. Believe me."
Then the next thing shocked me. He was glaring with hatred at me. "Shut up, mom! SHUT UP! Right now you aren't much help either! Sometimes I really consider you as a bad mother!"
I know he didn't mean that, but it hurt. He never insulted me. Immediately he had guilt flashing through his eyes. He was so angry and scared, but the anger was overwhelming. Something must triggered him today... I hope.
"M-mom. I didn't mean that..."
I sighed. "Apologize," I demanded. He can't let everyone be the victim of his anger and fear. Words have consequences, and saying 'it's okay' would only worsen this kind of behaviour.
"I'm sorry for saying things I didn't mean," he mumbled, hiccuping lightly. I embraced him tightly, patting his back. "I'm glad you're safe."
One hour later Nash was sleeping after we went home. We didn't say anything more. We came home in silence.
Natsu still didn't come back. I already ate dinner. I was lying in bed with my head staring at the ceiling.
I wonder what Natsu was doing. After awhile I sighed, thinking he won't be back for the next couple of hours.
Nash was in the room next to me, I made sure he fell asleep peacefully.
I woke up again by the sound of the door opening. Footsteps could be heard from downstairs. I knew it was Natsu, only he would slam the door three times when he was mad.
He opened the room door and went inside. I pretended to be sleeping. I didn't face him.
"Are you awake, Luce?" he whispered. I ignored it, implying that I was 'sleeping.' I noticed some pain in his voice.
His steps were very slow. "What happened?"
I surprised him with those two words. I sat up and turned to look at him. My eyes widened at the sight. I could see a blood stain by his shoulder with the moonlight reflecting on it.
"Not now, Luce. I'm tired and I want to sleep." He sighed and tried to lie down. I stopped him before that. I can't just lie back down and think about everything that happened to him.
"Let me put bandage around your shoulder."
I wasn't even asking for permission, why should I in the first place? Natsu stared blankly at me. "I'm fine." It came out a little colder than expected.
I flicked on the light and looked at him. I glared at him. I knew he could sense it. "Sorry," he mumbled. He let me know I could pick the first aid and bandage him.
I came back from the bathroom. I sat down next to him and began taking of his suit. Like literally undressing his top part. Funny how I was so nervous the first time but right now it just feels like an automatic response. "Hands up," I ordered.
He looked at me, raising his eyebrow as if to say 'why should I?'. I looked at him back, daring him to challenge me.
He sighed and put his hands up. I took off his dress shirt that was stained with blood. I stared at his shoulder, sucking in a breath. A sharp knife went through it, a hundred percent.
I began to follow the steps he taught me and after 15 minutes I was done. The whole time Natsu's eyes didn't leave my face though.
"Done. So now tell me how this happened," I demanded. He rubbed his hair out of frustation.
"Fucking morherfuckers planned this whole day." He cursed out loud. "Tomorrow," he said, meaning he will tell me tomorrow.
I turned off the light and lied down. Natsu followed. When I thought I was beginning to fall asleep he had to ruin it.
"Why the hell was Nash still upset when I checked him?"
I turned to him, taken aback at how he was looking at me.
I was doubting if I should tell him or not. Then I came to the question: why not? Nash is his son, he has the right to know.
"Nash thinks that you think that he is a failure."
It was silence for a moment.
Then he chuckled a little bit, though i didn't find true humor in it.
"He thinks."
He paused for a second.
"But that is nowhere near the truth."
