Hello fellow readers this was a suggestion from FDsecretart. They said that I should write a second part to my first one shot called Burned. So here it is. Enjoy !
Burn scars.
Part two of Burned.
Natsu was still sat outside the infirmary where Lucy was being treated. He didn't like the smells that where drifting out of the room, he could smell blood and antiseptics. The smell was so pungent that it made Natsu gag but he never once moved from his sitting place outside the door. After what seemed like forever, the door was opened and Erza walked out. She looked down at Natsu huddled up against the wall, he must have been there all night whilst Lucy was being seen to. Natsu looked up at Erza with hope and worry in his eyes and he didn't need to say anything for her to understand what he asked.
"You may go in and see her, but it would be best if Levy was there as well." She said placing a hand on his shoulder as she passed him. Erza went downstairs to relieve the guild of the heavy suspense that hung over every one and a loud sigh of relief was heard from every member when they heard Lucy was okay.
Natsu got to his feet and slowly made his way into the room. He saw Levy sat next to a bed that was surrounded by medical lacrima. Wendy stood by the foot of the bad writing things down on a clip- board. Natsu looked down at the bed, Lucy had a mask covering her face, and it fogged up with her breath every so often. Levy looked at Natsu, his face was covered with quilt and she felt a pang of sympathy for the fire mage, he looked so sorrowful.
"Natsu I'm going to get some water, could you watch her while I'm gone?" Levy said getting to her feet and stretching out her back.
"But Erza said-. " Levy cut him off.
"Now never mind Erza Lucy needs someone to stay here at all times and Wendy needs a break and so do I." Levy got Wendy by the arm and led her out the room, the young dragon slayer did look like she was about to drop. So Natsu went over to the chair that Levy had been sat in and leaned back into the soft backing. Lucy's breathing was slow and hypnotic, on closer look Lucy had a tube going into her right arm. Natsu's gaze drifted up to her shoulder, it was covered in bandages. Natsu moved in his chair, resting his elbows on the edge of the bed, he covered his face with his hands. What had he done Lucy would have those scars for the rest of her life and he was the one who gave them to her. Natsu slouched over; his head was now on the side of the bed next to Lucy's arm. Lucy's hand twitched and Natsu snapped his head up and met her soft gaze. Lucy removed the mask on her face and smiled at him. Why out of all the things she could have done, why did she have to smile at him. Natsu felt the corners of his eyes start the sting.
"Lucy I- I'm-." He didn't get to finish what he was going to say, his tears choked his voice away and soon he was full on sobbing, with breaths that shook his entire body. Lucy pushed herself up on the pillows. She looked down at Natsu's form; his face was hidden in his arms as he rested them on her legs. Lucy snaked her left hand under his chin and gently lifted his head up to face her. Natsu's red rimmed eyes wouldn't meet her brawn ones.
"Natsu look at me." Lucy said. Her voice was calm and gentle. Why did she have to be so nice to him? She was the one who was hurt and confined to bed. After much coaxing he looked at her, fresh tears threatened to fall from his eyes. "Natsu it's okay, I'm okay and everything will be okay. I may have scars after this but you have scars too and most are from saving me so don't you go and change on me just because I have burn scars." Lucy's voice was stern but soft. The tears that were at the edges of Natsu's eyes flooded down his cheeks and he started all over again, with sobs so loud that most of fairy tail could hear them. Lucy pulled Natsu close, she put her had on the back of his head and stroked his hair; she made soothing "shush." Sounds as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
A month had past and Lucy was mostly healed by now. Most people in the guild said that she looked kinda awesome with the scar. But Natsu would still finch every now and then when he saw it bulging from the rest of her skin, though it wasn't as red and angry looking as it first was, now it was more a pinkish colour and soon it would be less noticeable than that but she would forever have burn scars.
Wow that was fun to write to tell me what you think and I hope that Natsu wasn't to OC. THANK YOU READERS!
