''Ugh..I wish I could've gone with them...'' a sick dragon slayer said as he moped around his house.
He was sick (if that's even possible...) so team Natsu left him behind,to rest.
''It's been three days already!'' he coughed ''Did they forget about me?''
''Ughh!This is so boring'' he exclaimed as he jumped onto his hammock.,,I still don't feel well...''
~few hours later,at sunset~
The door of Natsu and Happy's house slightly opened.
''H-Hey.'' a weak cry could be heard from there. Natsu recognized the voice,with a follow up of vanilla scent.
''Luce.'' he said with a flat expression and a bitter voice.,,It's nice that someone remembered me.''
As she slowly approached the bed,he could see that she was covered in bandages,what made him feel guilty.
''Are you feeling better,sorry I didn't come earlier..something held me up.'' she said weakly
''...Sorry,I didn't know ... what happened...?'' I'm so dense...
''N-nothing,I-I brought you some food,remem-b-ber I said I'll get you some as soon as we come from the job,
I'll go make you s-o-omething to eat.'' Now that's something that isn't going to happen,he quickly hopped out of his hammock right next to her.
''Luce,sit down,you're the one who needs to rest up.'' How did that even happen...
''You just lay down,I'm not sick anymore,so I'm going to be the one taking care of you now,okay?''
I could hear her nagging,she always kept her word... ''Here.'' I pushed her gently into my ''bed'' and covered her with a blanket.
~Flashback~
''You're burning up!No wonder you're incapable of eating much as usual!'' she exclaimed as she held her palm on my forehead''
~End of Flashback~
I put my palm on her forehead,she wasn't very hot but still it was different... she looked straight at me,it felt weird.
''After I get back,you're telling me what happened.'' I said as I grabbed the groceries she brought,then walked to the kitchen.
~after short time~
''Here.'' I handed her the plate.''So,what happened?''
'' . . . ''
''Luce?''
''...well...the job wasn't how they described it...it was all a trap.'' ...a trap?..
''They made that job request with a crazy amount of jewel as reward,on trapped me,Happy,Erza and Gray couldn't go anywhere we were forced to fight with those creatures...'' At this point she was shaking,she must have been terrified...
''I'm sorry.'' I said
''Why for..? It's not your fault,you're not the one to blame,Natsu.''
''I'm sorry,I wasn't there to protect you and Happy (great time to ruin the moment right...well I guess Natsu really doesn't care bout' Ice princess and Erza :T )
''I don't blame you,you were ill and it could've amplified it if you came with us,no one blames you.''
''It was just a cold!'' I yelled
''Cold or not,it could have became even worse!'' she screamed at me,but I get her..
Tadaaah! It's done xo
Hope you'll enjoy and I wish you like NaLu as much as I do!
