A couple of days later, I returned to my home, and Natsu to his. I had trouble sleeping every now and then ever since that day Natsu slept next to me.

It's like I can't sleep without him being next to me.

I would never admit it to him, but I slept really well that night. Its like all my worries disappeared. Nothing mattered as long as Natsu was next to me. I knew that everything was going to be alright.

Unfortunately, its not gonna happen again.

I let the water run in my bathtub, as I stripped my clothes. When the tub was halfway full, I sank myself in, making the water embarrass me, but not enough to cover my face. I was occupied by my own thoughts, until I heard the sound a window opening then shutting. Immediatly I knew it was Natsu. I hurriedly finished my bath, and dressed up.

'' Hey Luce '' Natsu said cheerfully, not missing his wide grin.

I was about to greet him back when I noticed that he had a scar next to his cheeks. I frowned and stepped closer.

Nastu must have noticed my gaze, and subconciously touched the scar.

'' It doesn't hurt at all! It's hardly even noticeable- '' he continued rambling and stopped when I held his cheek.

'' I'm sorry '' I whispered. My face showing multiple emotions.

Sadness, anger, disappointment, and regret.

I didn't notice that I was crying until the first tear fell down my cheek.

Natsu looked at me, and almost looked hesitant before he leaned down and kissed my tears. His lips lingered before he abruptly stepped back.

My eyes widdened in surprise, and my cheeks turned pink. I looked up to find Natsu as red as a strawberry, he avoided my face and muttered something I couldn't catch.

I let out a giggle and then I was on the floor laughing like a hyena, which wasn't attractive at all. My laughing must have triggered Natsu, because soon he was joining me.

'' So, are you in the mood for baking cupcakes? '' I asked as I put my apron on.

His stomach growled.

'' Hell yeah! ''

.

.

.

'' This is a mess '' I complained. Dishes were piled over the other, Raw cupcake mix was all over the counter, and the smell of the burnt cupcakes Natsu made filled the Kitchen.

It's going to be a pain cleaning that up I thought.

'' Well since it's a mess anyway... why don't we- '' Natsu then poured a bawl of whipped cream on top of my head, letting it slide on my face. '' HAVE FUN! ''.

I licked my lips, tasting the cream. Oh it's on.

I quickly dashed away from him, reaching for the flour and throwing its content on him.

I laughed at how ridiculous he looks. He looks like Caspar The Ghost.

At some point we started throwing anything from our reach at each other.

I looked at the last item left in the kitchen.

Raw leftover cupcake mix

I raised my head to find him eyeing the same item.

In a flash, we speeded towards the cupcake mix. I was too focused on reaching there before him that I didn't notice the banana peal on the floor. I being clumsy, slipped on the banana peal.

I closed my eyes preparing for the fall, but it never came. Instead, I fell on something warm and hard?

I opened my eyes to find Natsu laying under me, his arms wrapped around me in a protective manner.

He protected me from the fall.

He protected you AGAIN.

I was about to ask if he was alright but he interrupted me.

'' Neh, Luce, your not heavy anymore ''.

I lightly hit his head.

'' HEY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?! "

He sat straight, his face darkened.

'' Are you not eating well? '' He asked.

Even when he's the one who got hurt again, he still worries about me.

'' Are you telling me I used to be fat? '' I tried lightning the mood, but it only made things worse. The air around me thickened almost soffocationg me in the process.

'' Lucy. '' He forced.

I knew there was no backing in this.

and then all hell broke loose.
