Chapter 3

Hello loves! here is chapter 3. Sorry that it took so long, i had major writers block but its here now!

I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think in the reviews!


As light shone through the flimsy curtains of the hospital, Lucy's eyes fluttered open. Her vision still blurry, she looked down at her hand. A pink blob under her fingertips. She laced her fingers within soft strands. She blinked away the blurriness and realized there was a person resting their head on the side of her mattress.

The blonde continued her ministration of lacing and unlacing, a low purr erupts from the person's throat. Realization slaps her in the face. The one she is petting is the boy she told herself she hated. Natsu. But at this moment, when his features are so relaxed and a purr sounding throughout the room, the stellar mage couldn't hold back the small smile that formed on her lips. 'How long has he been sitting with me?' She asked herself. She couldn't get her hands to stop petting the soft, pink locks of the boy she knew she loved.

"Oh Natsu, i'm so sorry that i pushed you away. I should have told you how I really felt, I knew you meant what you said to me the last time you were here and i'm sorry.. I-i'm so sorry…" she whispered to him, knowing very well he wouldn't hear her.

A tear ran down her cheek, but before she could wipe it away, a rough but soft hand beat her to it. "You shouldn't be the one apologizing Luce. it me who owes you an apology. I'm sorry that i didn't believe you in the first place. I should have went with my gut and not what everyone else said. I know that i was wrong and I'm s-sorry" the pinkette struggled to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from his onyx eyes.

The boy lowered his head, unable to look his love in the eyes, but Lucy cupped his face in her small hands and brought his face closer to hers. "Natsu, i forgive you. When i said that i hated you, that was just a lie i told myself. I said that i hated you because couldn't keep myself together thinking you truly hated me. I told myself that if you hated me then i would have to hate you too to keep myself from going over the edge. It hurt me the most when you said you didn't want me in the guild because you are the one that i love. Natsu Dragneel i love you." tears formed in the corners of Natsu's eyes and tears began to stream from hers.

"L-Luce, you are the most beautiful girl in the world. You are the only girl that i have ever felt this strongly about. Lucy Heartfilia, i love you so much. When i found you the night you left, when i found you in that alley, i saw my whole world crumble at my feet. I felt like everything i had, had been ripped away from me and there was no way of getting it back. You are my everything and seeing you remove your guild mark...c-crushed me. I told myself that if you were leaving, i would leave too." Natsu choked as he stood and showed Lucy his bare shoulder, no longer holding his flaming red emblem.

The blonde's face went white for a moment before bursting into tears. "N-NATSU, WHY THE H-HELL WOULD YOU LEAVE THE G-GUILD?! She shouted, startling the boy. Tears now streaming down his face. "You are in this hospital b-because of m-me. You left the guild b-because of m-me. I'm n-not letting you be alone any more. You are stuck with me!" he shouted back at her as he cupped her cheek and captured her lips with his. Lucy gasped, giving Natsu the chance to deepen the kiss as he slid his tongue into the warm cavern of her mouth.

The busty mage's eyes fluttered shut and her free arm snaked it's way around his neck, knotting itself within his pink locks. The fire mage broke the kiss panting and looked down and the blonde. Her eyes slowly opened, still half dazed, she looked up at him and gave a sweet smile. "I love you Luce, you will never be alone as long as i still got a breath in me." he smiled his signature smile. He pearly white fangs showing proudly.

"I love you too Natsu, you are my everything." she pulled him down and hugged him tightly. Her heart fluttering and her smile never to fade.

Natsu pulled away and grinned, "Let's get you home Luce." he stood up and looked down at the blonde. "I-I can't. The doctor says I have to stay a couple more days for observations. He hasn't given me the 'okay' yet." The girl sighed. Natsu's expression almost instantly turned around. His grin faded and his shoulders slouched "O-Oh… well, then i'll just stay here until you are released. I'll bring a pillow and a blanket and i can make do in that chair over there." The boy pointed at a recliner in the corner of the room. His grin returned and his shoulders heightened.

Lucy looked at him in surprise. "Natsu, you don't have to do that. It's ok if you go home. I'm sure happy..will be worried about you." Natsu could see her eyes sadden at the memory of the guild members, including happy, push her away. He quickly strode over to her and took her chin in his index finger and thumb.

The fire dragon slayer lifted her head and closed the gap between them. Capturing her plump, pink lips in his. Catching her off guard, making her gasp, which gave him a chance to snake his tongue into the warm cavern of her mouth.

The stellar mage's eyes fluttered shut, their tongues danced, her hand cupped his cheek. Natsu knotted his hand into her golden locks, trying to deepen the fiery kiss even further.

Natsu soon pulled away panting. He looked the beautiful girl in the eyes, "Lucy, I know how hard it was for you to leave the guild, it was hard for me too. But if they believed a rumor over you, the don't deserve to call you family. You deserve so much better than that. That's why I left. I left because I couldn't stand to see you in such a horrible state. It kills me when I see you cry or when you get hurt. I promised myself I would always protect you no matter what, and I plan to keep that promise, even if it means I have to leave my family to do it."

The girl was shocked. She burst into tears and hid her face in the crook of his neck as she hugged him tightly. "Natsu I love you so much, i couldn't imagine my life without you. I'm so grateful that you're willing to stay here with me." she pulled her head away from his neck and looked at him, her eyes as bright as the summer sun.

Natsu pulled out of her hug and stood. "I'm gonna go and get my stuff. I'll be back in a bit! See ya!" he called as he sprinted out of the room. The boy ran past the lady at the front desk and skidded to a halt at the elevator. The doors closed behind him as he pushed the main floor button and off he went. His sandal covered feet carried him all the way to his hut, stopping at the front door.
