Hey Y'all! So my friend just went through something kinda cutely hilarious and I thought "Hey! Fanfic plot!" So anyway enjoy

"Alright Mom! I'll be back as soon as they're done with your examination!" Lucy smiled.

The blonde teenager closed the door behind her and trod down the hallway of the hospital. It was hard to believe that only a week ago her mother had been diagnosed with colon cancer. Andthings weren't getting much better.

Lucy sighed leaning up against the railing of the second floor. Ahead of her was a view the hospital lobby and it's large glass windows and doors.

As she stared, her mind drifted to thoughts of her mother. What if she didn't get better? What if she got much worse? What if she... if she...

Lucy couldn't bring herself to even think such things. She smacked her cheeks a little banishing the thought from her mind! Then sighing, she brought out her phone to distract herself.

"Guess I'll text Levy..." She muttered to herself.

She didn't get long to type though as suddenly she was thrown to the ground. She watched as her precious phone slipped from her fingertips and disappear from sight.

"Woah! I am WAY sorry! I didn't see you there!" A new voice defended.

Lucy didn't respond though. She quickly scrambled up and rushed back to the railing looking over the edge. There on the floor below her, were the fragments on the once whole device.

"Oh no!" The voice cried. "Is that... yours?"

"It... it was" She whispered in response.

"I am so sorry"

Finally snapping out of the daze, Lucy turned her attention to the voice. Apparently it was a he, and a fairly attractive he! He appeared to be around her age and had deep onyx eyes that anyone could easily get lost in! His most distinguishing feature though, was definitely his hair. It stuck up every which way, and was a lovely shade of rose pink. An odd color, but he made it work for him!

"Here comes with me." He said grabbing her wrist and dragging her to the elevator.

Only moments later they found themselves kneeling beside the pieces, gathering them up.

"I'm Natsu by the way." He spoke suddenly. "And also I am really REALLY sorry."

Lucy sighed letting anger and sadness dissipate. "I'm... Lucy. And it's fine... about the phone... it's just... just a phone." She hung her head on the last word, unable to look him in the eye.

It was just a phone. Really, she knew that. But for whatever reason, it almost hurt to see it like this!

She reached to pick up the next piece only for her hand to be smacked away.

"Careful!" Natsu cried. "That was broken glass you were about to pick up! What if you got cut?"

"Well we are in a hospital." Lucy replied with dry sarcasm.

"It doesn't change the fact you could be hurt"

Lucy sighed. She really wasn't feeling up to arguing with anyone right now, much less this stranger. She let him take the lead and kept quiet. Or rather, she would have. except-

"So why are you here anyway?" Natsu asked.

"... It's personal."

"... oh. alright." He responded awkwardly. "... I'm visiting my dad. He was a pedestrian in the middle of a pretty bad car accident. It's honestly slightly terrifying. He's actually... he's actually in a coma... has been for about three weeks now."

Lucy looked up at him, pity and understanding sparkling in her eyes.

"I'm sorry." She choked out holding back tears. "That sounds terrible."

Natsu, hiding his emotions through a smile let out a small chuckle. "Yeah... I don't know when- much less if- he'll wake up."

Lucy too his hand in hers and stared at him. "I'm sorry... my mom's... my mom contracted cancer. She's been here for a week now... I don't know if she'll make it."

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she spoke and Natsu found himself crying too.

"So... you and I are the same then." He said slowly.

"Yeah I guess we are!" Lucy lightly giggled through tears.

okay so FYI, this is multichap and if I don't get a new chapter out soon, it's either because I'm really busy, or can't figure out how to string the words together. Also I promise it won't be as long as my other Nalu fic; Nostalgic. This will probably be about five-ish chapters. So anyway, I'll get working on the next one.

Review!!!
