NALU WEEK - DAY #3

YEARNING

“Is something wrong, Natsu?” Mirajane asked, skillfully balancing a tray full of wobbling dishes.

Natsu had been restless all morning, and a restless Natsu was a danger to society, especially when the guild had just been renovated, again. 

She had been watching him wander from table to table, annoying everyone he encountered. He had already set a wooden pillar on fire and picked two fights with Gray. He would likely have started a third if the ice mage hadn’t left for a job with Juvia.

He was slumped over one of the tables, his forehead pressed against the wood. Happy was doing the same beside him.

“Just so you know, the Master said if you start another fight, I’m allowed to kick you out,” she said casually, trying to catch his attention. “He said I can use any means necessary.”

She saw him shiver and heard a series of grunts, which answered her previous question. Natsu was anything but okay. Mirajane sighed, putting the tray down on the table to focus on the little depressed boy in front of her.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me,” he whined while sitting up straight. “I’m so bored.”

“Mira, life has no meaning,” Happy added, his tone equally depressed.

“Have you looked for a job?” Macao suggested from a table nearby.

“They’re all stupid,” Natsu grumbled, rolling his eyes.

“Maybe you’re hungry,” Droy chimed in from somewhere behind her.

“You just need a drink!” Cana cheerfully exclaimed, presenting him with a full pint.

Mirajane looked around. The hall that day was quite full, but someone’s absence was clearly standing out.

“Guys, I don’t think it’s any of that,” she said with a giggle, and Natsu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with curiosity. She picked up her tray and started walking away, realizing there was nothing she could do to fix Natsu’s mood. 

“What, Mira? What?” he called after her, as if she knew secrets he couldn’t remotely fathom.

“Lucy will be back shortly,” she raised her voice so he could hear her, a knowing smile on her lips.

“What does that m—Lucy! You are back!” Natsu shouted, loud and excited.

“You are back!” Happy repeated.

Mirajane shook her head and chuckled. She might have to help Lucy out one of those days because Natsu was oblivious to so many things it was becoming painful to watch.

But, at least for now, the guild hall was safe.

“Gray hugs her from behind, his chin on her head, and gently pushes her in. The door closes after them, confining her giggles to the intimacy of the house.”
