This stupid spell was making Lucy act all weird. Apparently it was all Mira's fault. Natsu wasn't quite sure how that part worked. Levy was the one that said the spell, but that wasn't important anymore. He had to get Lucy back to normal and Mira said the only way to do that was to kiss her guild mark. "That's easy! Problem solved!" He said as he eagerly rushed over to Lucy, but the closer he got, the less easy that task seemed. It was just a kiss, and it was just on her hand. It was no big deal. At least it wouldn't have been if she hadn't looked at him right as he took her hand. The look in her eyes was suddenly different than any of the looks he usually got from her. Usually she was either annoyed with him or generally happy to see him. Every once in a while he'd see some sort of emotional look from her, or maybe it was a look of concern. But this wasn't one of those looks. He'd never seen this one before. He gulped and wished he'd changed his mind sooner, but it was too late. He had probably already paused long enough to make people think he was chickening out. Now he had no choice but to kiss her. Without anymore thought, he brought her hand to his lips and gave it a quick peck. Then even more quickly, he let go, took a few steps back and turned away to put his hand behind his neck in embarrassment. His eyes shifted around towards the ground, desperately avoiding eye contact with the others in the room, before remembering to check if the spell was broken. He turned back and stared at her, wide-eyed and hopeful, waiting for her to do something normal.
Slowly, she began to come out of her stunned state and rubbed her head to help the process along. "Natsu!" She questioned when she saw him staring at her goofily. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She began to panic. "Is there something on my face?!" She cried.
"Lucy!" Natsu said, flying into a hug from the sudden and extreme relief he felt to see her acting like her old self again. "You're back!"
"Back?" Lucy asked, confused. She looked to Mira for some sort of explanation, but all she got was her usual innocent smile that, for some reason, didn't seem so innocent this time.
