Chapter 2

Missing from my Heart

Natsu kept on looking out the window. Then, he went back to his bed to lay down. He suddenly coughed as he covered the cough with his hands. When he went into his bed, Natsu closed his eyes. 6 days later, Natsu has recovered a little. He was sitting and was drinking some hot chocolate with Lucy.

"Natsu, are you feeling well?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah, I should be fine." Natsu answered with a smile.

Lucy grinned when she heard that. Then, as Natsu went into his room, he looked out at the snow. He wanted to live life to the fullest and wanted to go outside. Then, he ran outside of his house and was smiling. But, what he didn't know was that it was bad for him. Even if he did know, he'll just ignore the fact and live his life.

"Natsu, wait for me!" Lucy said with a smile.

Then, she jumped on him and hugged him tightly. Natsu kind of blushed when she hugged him. As they both explored, every single step was a memory of them spending time together. Then, Lucy saw a lake that was frozen. She wanted to step on it and glide through the ice.

"Let's glide in the ice, Natsu!" She said as she grabbed his hand.

They both glided on the ice and Lucy can finally smile. Natsu was so happy that she was so happy. As they walked through the snow, they both sat down. Natsu formed a snowball in his hand then he threw it on Lucy. He was laughing, then Lucy threw a snowball back at him.

"Take that!" Lucy cried with a smile.

Then, they both started a snowball fight. When they went back to his home, as Lucy cooked, Natsu drank some water. As Natsu drank the water, he suddenly dropped the glass of water to the ground. Lucy turned around to see what's wrong. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

"Natsu, what happened?" Lucy asked.

"I-I don't know..." Natsu answered.

Then, he had a grin as a tear dropped down without noticing.

"But, I'm sure it's nothing." Natsu said.

Then, when he went into his room, but Lucy wanted to know what was wrong. Natsu was going to bed as he felt tired and wanted some time for himself. When Lucy looked, he was sleeping peacefully. The light in his room was shining on his face. She then closed the door, hoping for him to feel alright. Tears started to fall down as she put her back against the wall.

"Save him..." She said softly.

Natsu's P.O.V.

I care about Lucy, it's just that, I might not last much longer. But, I still have to no matter what! Lucy's gentle smile will stay with me forever and will never disappear. I'm still unconscious though. I will confess to her when it's the right time. Even though I might not last long, I need to live life to the fullest! It's my lifetime wish. Even if there were dark times in the past, there will soon be a new memory to make the darkness disappear. I woke up after a few hours later, I saw Lucy crying.

"Lucy..." I said softly.

She heard my voice and then hugged me as tears dripped down.

"Don't ever scare me like that again...I care about you, Natsu..." She said tearfully.

My cheeks were turning red when I heard that. There's going to be so much happening soon. Then, she gave me a sweet gentle smile as she hugged me tighter.

"I promise..." I said as I hugged her back.

I smiled and then went outside and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, but I closed my eyes just to feel the cold and soft snowflakes slowly fading away from my skin. I took in deep breaths as I looked at the trees covered with snow. Then, a snowflake fell in my hand. I looked at it and it wasn't melting. I smiled and then I let it go by a little blow.

I suddenly saw Lucy next to me as she was lying on my shoulder. She was smiling as she looked up at the sky. A beautiful coat of snow that covered the world was good enough for life. I don't want anyone to feel depressed or heartbroken. I just want everyone to be happy and so they could smile.

"Lucy, have you ever wondered about how snowflakes fall and form a pretty and unique shape...?" I asked her.

"Well, yeah. They're like us except smaller and delicate. But, each one had their own unique traits, personalities, and even their own looks." Lucy answered.

"Just like you.." She admitted as she blushed.

I felt touched by her own words about it. I blushed even more as I began to smile. Suddenly, I felt my heart skip a beat. Everything changed when I heard that. I feel like I want to kiss her. But, how long will I last with this illness? Hopefully, I will survive and have the chance to tell her my feelings.

I don't want money or greed, I just want smiles and laughter everywhere. Suddenly, I coughed a little as I covered my mouth. Then, Lucy helped me get onto the couch when we got inside. Then, she played the piano that I had. The melody that sounds so lovely, was like a blossom about to bloom. I smiled as I heard everything as I slept.

"Thank you, Lucy..." I said with a grin.

I had an icepack on my forehead to cool down as she plays the piano to comfort me. She blushed as I smiled and talked.

Normal P.O.V.

'Natsu's cute when he sleeps..' Lucy thought.

She kept on playing songs for him all day. Then, she fell asleep as she was lying on the piano. They both hear the fireplace with wood turning to ash. As they both listen to the sounds of night, their heartbeats skip a beat whenever they think of each other. Even though Natsu kept a secret from her, they will never tear apart.
