It had been three days since the incident, and Lucy still hadn't shown up to the guild. Lisanna had said that Lucy must have gotten a cold or something. Natsu didn't believe her. Something else was definitely wrong. Lisanna had specifically told Natsu not to go to her house. She was keeping a close eye on the dragonslayer, forbidding him from even going down the same street as her house.

Natsu slammed his fist down on the bar table.

"He did what?!" He yelled. "He made Lucy cry?!" Natsu's eyes became slits and he raced off. "How dare he!"

Lisanna barely glanced up. "I'm so sorry Lucy! It all my fault!" she whispered.

After catching Lucy's scent, it wasn't hard to find the stage where Lucy was humiliated. Natsu's dragon instincts kicked in, and he ended up setting the whole stage, along with half of the park, on fire.

"Where is he?" Natsu's growled to the audience. They all pointed in fear to a small trailer hanging off to the side.

The black haired man opened the door, still combing his hair. "Yes yes," he muttered. "What do you want?" His eyes widened as he came face to face with the pink haired dragonslayer.

A smirk came across the reporters face. "What do you think you can do to me? Punch me?" Natsu held up a flaming fist.

"You want to bet?" Natsu whispered threateningly. His fist connected with the man's chin, his face contorted into an ugly array of dismay and fear. The man's head flicked backwards and he was sent flying. Natsu barely heard the screams of the crowd behind him.

"Lucy..." he growled. "He hurt Lucy..."

Suddenly, something hit the back of his head. He looked down and saw Happy laying on the ground. His wings fading quickly. "Natsu... I... Lucy..."

Natsu shook his head, his eyesight and consciences returning. "Where am I?" He glanced around at the destroyed park. "Did I do this?" Why?

"Go find Lucy," Happy whispered. Natsu picked up his fallen friend and ran to Lucy's apartment.

Natsu tried to leap up to the window, but it was locked and boarded up. He started to panic. Lucy never did this. He ran inside the building and banged on her door. "Lucy!" he yelled. All he could hear was grumbled and a flip of a bed sheet.

"I'm coming in!" Natsu kicked down the door with ease, and was shocked by what he found. Lucy was curled up on the floor rolling in pain. "Lucy!" he cried, running over to her.

"Go away Natsu!" He shook his head, tears on the brims of his eyes.

"I can't bear to see you like this! It doesn't feel right to go anywhere without you," Natsu cried, laying down the blue cat and picking up the small girl. She had definitely lost weight. "Your starving yourself."

Happy stirred and grumbled, "Yeah Lucy, don't hurt yourself. What's Team Natsu without you?" Natsu brushed a stand of hair out of Lucy's eyes. She used to be kinda pretty before this. Now she looked like a stick that would break at any moment. Natsu didn't normally think about things like this, but he was full of emotion at the moment. Natsu tucked her in and ran off to the bathroom.

He dipped a washcloth in her sink and heated it up with his hands. He placed the washcloth over her face, letting the steam calm her down. Natsu turned around and went to the kitchen in silence. He knew that it wasn't healthy to not eat for three days. What would she want to eat, he thought. His eyes rested on a small bar of chocolate. He smiled a little. Natsu didn't necessarily like sweets, but he knew she would.

"Here you go Lucy," the mattress sank a little as Natsu sat down. Lucy frowned. He opened it and placed it under her nose. For the first time, Natsu saw his friend smile. As she reached out for it, he pulled it away. He chuckled to himself as he saw Lucy's eyes change from dull pain to angst and hunger. "Okay, I'll get you some real food," he said, giving the starved girl the chocolate.

Natsu didn't leave Lucy's side for four straight days. He refused to go out on jobs and even refused to eat for a while. Finally, the door was returning to the blond's skin and her body was getting some of its mass back. Each day, he would give her a piggyback ride around her apartment just to test her weight.

The two were eating dinner on the fourth night. "Thank you Natsu," Lucy whispered.

Natsu had heard what she said, but he still asked, "What?" Lucy blushed lightly.

"Thanks Natsu for everything you did for me. You saved my life. I could have died, but you wouldn't let me." Natsu smiled and shook his head.

"I will never let you die when I can do something about it. You should never let a persons' words get to you like that. I mean, we tease each other for being fat all the time!" Natsu leaned in. "I burned that man to a crisp!" Lucy laughed.

"I'm sure you did. Thanks again Natsu." Lucy walked over to the other side of the table and gave Natsu a hug. The pink haired boy returned it gladly.
