I'm bored out of my mind! I've finished school for today; apparently I'm too far ahead of the curriculum! How stupid? They should just teach me more intermediate stuff! Because now I'm just a bored 17-year-old with nothing to do... if I was anyone else, I'd be on the street corner doing drugs or something... Lucy you could visit Natsu. Pahaha, good one Lucy. You are bored. It would give you something to do, because all you're doing is sleeping and complaining about how bored you are. And you're talking to yourself. Fine, I'll go.
I went down a floor and headed to Grayson ward. A quick check in the bathroom, to make sure I don't look ill. I don't want him to pity me; I want to be treated like a normal person not like some broken animal that needs to be taken home.
After an all clear, I walked in and looked for room 4. I could see him asleep, no wonder he had his own room, it's a mess. A little cleaning won't harm anyone. It took half an hour to tidy the whole room. It didn't look like he was waking up anytime soon, but at least it gave me something to do, I was just about to leave, when he started to wake up. I had to freeze; I needed to leave before he noticed me.
"Who are you? Am I in a new room? Oh, it's you Luce?" He grinned at me. Luce, first Luigi now Luce? Can't he remember a name as simple of Lucy?
"It's Lucy." I grinded between my teeth.
"I know, chill out. Luce is just a nickname. I like Luce, better than Lucy." He grinned again; something about the toothy grin could bring me out from any depression.
"Thanks." I mumbled. I've been called many things in my life, Luce wasn't one of them.
"To be honest, I thought you wouldn't come. It's not like you have no choice but to visit me." He said with a grin again, I can't help but smile back.
"I guess you don't have many visitors then." I asked him, well it was more of a statement than a question.
"Well, my cousin has to come, Uncle Met forces him. All my cousin does is laugh at me though. He actually asked about some advice about a girl. I'm a hit with all the girls obviously," Natsu smirked, what a fucking show off.
"Pahahaaa, sure Natsu." I laughed as Natsu pouted.
"It is true. They can't resist my Salmon Hair." Natsu wines back arguing. He's so childish.
"I'm pretty sure it's pink."
"No, it's salmon."
"Pink"
"Salmon"
"Pink"
"Salmon"
"Salmon"
"Pink"
"Ha! You admitted it. It's pink." Natsu growled, wanting to change the topic from his feminine hair to something else.
"Anyway, my cousin likes this girl, but apparently they are opposites... Basically, she's smart and he's stupid. Then my sister Wendy visits sometimes, she's always busy learning to be a doctor like my parents. They own this hospital, Igneel does the business side, and Grandine does the medial side." Natsu continued to jabber on. I can't get my off the fact that this imbecile is the son of Grandine? Grandine's so nice and caring while Natsu is messy and insensitive. And his cousin is familiar, I wonder if he goes to Fairy Tail Academy. His cousin can't be Gajeel can it, I mean, it's obvious he has a thing for Levy and they're opposites. If it's true, all I need is for Levy to confess, then boom, I've set up two couples. Note to self, Inform Mira.
"Meow" The meow snapped me back into reality. Natsu's looking awfully shifty. Then his sheets started to move.
"Natsu, what's that?" I asked him.
"HehHehHeh. What's what, Luce? Are you sure you shouldn't be in the hospital? HehHeh..." He trailed off, scratching the back of his head, the thing moving around under the sheet. I go to lift the duvet up. "No, No, No. Luucceee." He moaned childishly as it revealed a blue cat? A fucking Blue cat.
"WHY HAVE YOU GOT A-" He covered my lips with his hand. What if he pulls my wig off? I slowly lick his hand, so he jerks backwards.
"Why did you do that?" He screeched at me. So, you don't see I'm actually a long-term patient at your mothers hospital, I flip my hood up just in case of and wig accidents, my hood will hide it.
"I don't like people touching my face." I pouted to him, hoping he'll believe me, but he just smirked.
"Oh really..." He continued to lean closer to me on the seat, his face only inches from mine. His breath was warm, maybe I wanted what was going to happen next... I could feel the blood rush to my face then...
"EEECCCCKKKKK! YOU FUCKING LICKED ME!" I can still feel his warm tongue lingering on my cheek, I kept wiping the saliva off my cheek.
"Payback for you licking me. Now we're even." He grinned at me; I can't stay mad at that grin. I pouted and turned away, I can pretend to be mad. I sunk into the chair; it feels good to be the one on the other side of the hospital bed. To visit someone else for a change. I can feel my joints aching, and my brain switching off. A little nap here will be fine. I drifted off into my dream world.
"LUCY! LUCY! LUCY! LUCY!" I hear the crowd chanting as I cross the finish line, first place. The joy is overwhelming, how I ache to feel the adrenaline of winning. I feel an emotional high, I want this feeling again. I take out my pony tail and feel my hair fall gracefully round my face, my natural blonde locks that outline my healthy face. I can see myself, looking into a big rococo mirror, the kind we had before the separation of my parents. Although, that was a dark time in my life, I have to admire the mirror. My mother walked behind me, humming a soft tune and I relax into a stool. She sits behind me and brings out the brush, she starts brushing my hair as she did while I was young. Whenever things got rough, it was our way of saying, "Don't worry. We'll get through this. Stay strong." A way of saying "I love you" no matter what happened, whether you can't speak or we are too scared to. I love her, and she loves me. That's all I need.
The brush pace increased until it was tugging on my hair, pain vibrating through my body until a sharp rip echoed through the black space around us. She continued to rip the hair out of my head, and my screams weren't stopping her. Why weren't they stopping her? I turned to stop her but behind me was him.
The boy with pink hair and a white scarf wrapped around his neck.
"Luce, why didn't you tell me you had cancer?" He asked with sorrow. I tried to stand up.
"Don't stand up Luce, you're ill. Do you need anything? I can get you anything you want. How about water? Plump up your pillow? Money? Anything?" He asked upset again. He pitied me, he felt bad for me.
"It should have been me-" He started to cry for me.
"RIGHT! Shut the fuck up Natsu. I don't want your pity. I don't want your charity and finally, don't you ever wish something like this upon yourself. So stop it." I yelled at him, he seemed to understand.
"Okay, Luce. I'll go. Are you sure you don't want anything?" Natsu asked again. I guess he didn't understand what I meant.
"GO AWAY NATSU."
"Well, I'm not going, this is my room I can do what I want." Natsu spoke and my eyes shot open. Did I say that out loud? I was in his hospital room. It looked like he was sitting on me and... I was covered in coats.
"Natsu, please explain a) why you are sitting on my lap and b) why I'm covered in Jackets?" I asked him, trying to stay calm. After I mentioned the whole sitting on lap thing, he shot up and stumbled over to his bed facing away. He faced me again after a minute.
"Well, it's midday and the doctors came in, because you aren't allowed to visit at midday, only at 4-6, obviously with permission you can stay as long as you. Did you get permission? Kids tent to when it comes to visiting parents..." He trailed off and started to babbling about nothing. He's kind of cute when he's nervous Again, by cute I mean not in a like way, well a like like way. Do like him, but not in a like like way. Never mind.
"Natsu, don't babble. Just answer the question." I rolled my eyes at him and he chuckled nervously.
"Well, in long story short, they would kick you out if they found you. So, I have to hide you, so I covered you in all my stuff. Then the sitting thing, well they didn't believe me. They looked directly at you, and couldn't see you. I went and sat on the chair as proof. You know we were luck you didn't start speaking again." Natsu smirked at me... I speak in my sleep? That's new. I didn't say anything about the illness did I?
"W-what did I s-say?" I stuttered, but Natsu smirked again.
"Oh, something upon the lines of," She coughed and altered his voice to a higher pitch, attempting to speak like me, "Oh, Natsu, you're amazing and the bestest most kindest person I have ever met. Be my friend forever Natsu. Oh, and I'll cook you however much food you want." Natsu started to chuckle.
"I do not sound like that, and anyway bestest isn't a word!" I yelled at him and he just kept laughing.
"Relax, Luce I was joking. But you do speak in your sleep." He said darkly. Was he planning on telling me what I said? "Well you better get going, Luce. You're really sleepy and your mum must be worrying." He changed his personality from that dark chuckle to a happy bouncy kid. I don't get him.
"Bye." I waved as I walked out the room. I was walking away when I heard a call.
"Visit me tomorrow. I get bored." I can tell he was pouting.
"Probably not." I laughed.
Yes, I will. And smiled to myself.
A/N: Heeello Again everyone. So, today is the day I update again. Woohoo. So, review and tell me what you think. Strange, I usually update really late at night/early morning (UK time), so enjoy everyone. I really hope you like it. I try, I really do. So, if you can think of any sub-plots or further ships (Obviously I've got NaLu, Jerza and Gale) but any others is FINE. I need some other characters and I need help with names and stuff, I'm no good at it.
So, if you can think of any names and a brief description would be fab. I'll give you what I want, I need a small girl, a couple of doctors and nurses and the general OC.
Thanks again guys. All your follows and reviews and favourites make me so happy, so thanks. Until next time guys.
