A/N: Just finished editing and changing this chapter, I hope you like the changes. I recently found a story that was way too similar too mine and I hate it when I have a story like someone else's so I decided to change it up. I will update chapters as I go, and each chapter that is updated will say (Edited) on it, that way you know that this is the newest one that's been changed. The story line is now different as well. It now takes place in Magnolia and there is magic. It's a war between the dark guilds Vs legal guilds and the magic council. There are OOC's, and I am sorry if you don't like the changes but it annoys me to be like something or someone else. I love being different and the same goes for my stories. Thanks and please let me know what you think! R&R ~Angel~
"Lucy the patient in room 203 needs to be bandaged, would you mind doing it for me?" Mira, the head nurse asked me.
"Sure no problem," I responded.
I grabbed out the needed essentials and headed in that direction. I slid the door open and walked inside. There was a guy laying on the stretcher with bandages wrapped around his head and arms. There was probably more on other parts of his body but I couldn't see just yet.
I couldn't help but wonder about what happened to this guy. I looked around and spotted a pile of clothes sitting on the chair next to his bed. I couldn't tell what they were exactly, just that they were black and gold with something white. I started to set up all the new bandages on the table getting ready to start the treatment.
I checked his chart and saw that it was time for him to receive more medicine. I wrote down the time and add the medicine into his IV. I then walked over to him and took in his appearance. As far as I could see he was quite handsome but I can't say for sure until I see him awake and without bandages covering most of him.
I removed the blanket from off him to see that his chest and legs were wrapped as well. I don't think that there was a part on his body that wasn't wrapped. I tried to be as quiet as possible since he was asleep. I wheeled the table with all the supplies over to the side of the bed and reached up to remove the bandages from his head.
The more I unwrapped, the more the color pink started to appear. Pink? What could be pink? It can't be blood because blood is either brown when dry or red when fresh. So what is pink? I kept unwrapping when finally the pink revealed itself. Hair! He has PINK hair! What kind of man has pink hair? It surprised me because not only was it pink but it looked so...fluffy! I had this strange urge to touch it. I leaned in closer to get a better look as my arm started reaching up on its own to touch this guys hair.
I was about an inch away when I heard a muffled sound. I glanced down and noticed that the man was awake but unfortunately I was smothering him with my chest! I jumped backwards, my face exploding in a wild shade of red. As I went back, I banged into the table with all my supplies on it and knocked it over. I sheepishly glanced up at him and noticed he had a curious expression placed on his face.
I just stood there unable to move due to embarrassment.
"Are you my nurse?" He asked in a rough yet calm voice.
I had to admit that his voice was quite sexy.
"Y-yes." Is all I managed to squeak out.
"Well I must say that that was one hell of an introduction." He chuckled out.
"I'm very sorry sir!" I said with my face on fire and bowing to show him respect.
He stopped laughing a gave me this huge grin that showed off his bright white teeth and exposed really sharp fangs. His smile was captivating as it stretched from ear to ear. His pink hair was more like a salmon color and it spread out in spikes every which way. He had charcoal eyes that felt like they could see right through me and showed that they have felt pain. He had a deep looking scar on his neck and it made me want to know how he had gotten it.
"What were you doing?" He questioned as he lifted a brow.
"I-I was just tending to the bandages on your h-head."
I would never admit that I just wanted to touch his hair. He looked at me suspiciously, as if he could tell it was a lie but then shrugged and accepted my explanation.
"So what's your name?" He asked still looked at me with those intense eyes.
"Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia." I introduced myself as my face started to return to normal. "And you? What's your name?"
"Natsu Dragneel, I guess you haven't seen my chart." He answered and that made me feel a little dumb.
His name seemed familiar to me but I couldn't place where I heard it from before. I brushed it off and went to switch out the supplies with clean ones. I came back and set up all the stuff like I had before and turned back to face him.
"If you don't mind, I need to tend to your wounds now." I stated and he nodded.
I started with his arms, wanting to save his head for last. The more I unwrapped the more I noticed how tan and muscular they were. There was a guild stamp in red on his right arm and that saddened me slightly. The meant that he was involved in this on going war between guilds, dark guilds and the magic council. I always felt bad for the mages involve, leaving families behind and wondering if they will ever see there loved ones again.
He had a immense amount of body heat which made me wonder if he had a fever. I finished with his arms then worked on his legs. Next was the chest and his chest was just as toned as his arms if not more so.
I found myself blushing under the slight touches that I was feeling as I wrapped him. Whatever this guy does for a living definitely works well for him. I still had that strange urge to touch his hair as I began to wrap his head. I let my hand slip so that it graced his strand to find that it was just as fluffy as I thought it would be. It was soft and incredibly smooth and I couldn't help but wonder what the hell he does to get it like that.
His pink hair was unique and even though it was messy it suited him very well. I then proceeded to check his temperature since he felt so hot. He looked at me funny and when I pulled it out, I was shocked. He had a fever of 104!
"Oh my! You have a fever!" I announced and I started to immediately rush around to grab the necessities to calm the fever when he started to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"You are," is all he said.
"Why, you have a very high fever, I need to hurry and get meds into you to calm it down."
"No you don't. My temperature is naturally high because I am a fire mage."
I relaxed after he said that but I still wondered why. I have met fire mages before but they never had a temperature like that, but if he says its normal then I wont pry. I went back to what I was doing and decided to try talking to him about why he was here.
"Can I ask what happened?" I said cautiously.
"As I'm sure you noticed, I am a part of a guild and I am also involved in the war. Me and my team were boarding a train, but I can't stand transportation so I was the last to board. I was about to climb on when the train exploded. Apparently there was a bomb that was placed underneath it. Thankfully there were no civilians on it since this one only went to and from the battlefield. I was blown backwards and only managed to receive damage from being pushed back from the blast. I don't know if my team was as lucky."
The story was horrible, and I could feel the worry and sadness radiating off him. I know that there is another here from the wreckage but I don't know how he is doing. The hospital even has mages from some guild working here to help out with the injured, mostly the women.
"Do you know if any of my team had survived?" He asked, eyes desperate for a yes.
"I know that there is one other man from that wreckage but I have no idea what condition he is in."
"There is only one?" He questioned.
"Yes, I can check on his status for you later. I'm sorry I brought that up. I didn't mean to upset you." I said feeling horrible about myself.
"No, it's okay. You didn't know but I would really appreciate it if you checked on him. There were actually three of us on the train. And if you only found one then that means..."
Now I really felt bad. He lost a team member in the explosion and he is sitting here lucky enough to have survived. I remember what it was like when my mother died, and I can only imagine what he must be feeling right now.
"So what about your family?" I asked trying to change the subject.
I saw more pain pass over his features and now I felt even worse. Is there anything I can say to this man that would change his mood? His face went from a pained expression to looking like he just had a great idea.
"How about visiting me tomorrow and I'll tell you all about me," he wondered.
This face is more suited to him. It made him look like a kid but it went well with his demeanor.
"Okay," I agreed.
I was actually enjoying talking to him and I smiled as I said my goodbyes after I filled out his chart. I told him that I would check on him the next chance I got. I walked out to find Mira standing at the main desk.
"So what took you so long?" She asked.
"Well he was telling me about himself. Nothing happened." I clarified.
She has this way of thinking that every cute guy that comes in here is going to hook up with me. I don't know where she gets this idea from but she loves to play matchmaker. I explained what we talked about and told her about him but when I said his name she dropped the clipboard she was holding.
"Y-you said Natsu Dragneel right?" She stuttered and I nodded. She then rushed into the room and as she ran past is when I noticed the guild stamp that she had, matched the one that Natsu had. That's when I realized that she must know him.
I was happy to think that he knew someone here and that it might cheer him up. Levy then strolled out of the room where the other guy from the train bombing was and I was about to ask her about him when two of the paramedics came rushing in with someone on a stretcher.
It was Juvia and a paramedic that I didn't recognize were pushing in a dark haired male.
"He is from the train wreckage. We found him after we sorted through it." Juvia explained to me as I followed behind.
I was happy that I would be able to tell Natsu tomorrow that all three of his friends had made it out alive. I just had to figure out who was who. I continued with the rest of my day waiting for Mira to tell me about the other two boys while I attended to other patients. I didn't see Mira for the rest of the day so I figured that I would just wait until tomorrow.
~TBC~
