It had been a while since Natsu had brought Lucy along for a break. They decided they were going to go to the beach that weekend, but unfortunately for them, Lucy got sick. So instead of going to the beach, Natsu decided to spend the day with Lucy and try to nurse her back to health.

Lucy stayed in bed while Natsu went to make some soup for her. He heard that was good for someone that was sick to eat from Wendy and most of the others at the guild. He hated when Lucy got sick. The last time she got sick he sailed a tree down the river just for her. He looked into the bedroom to see Lucy stirring in bed and it made his eyes hurt.

Natsu walked in with a bowl of soup and smiled, "Lucy, stop trying to get up." He said, pulling a chair over and helping her sit up, so that he could give her the soup.

"I'm fine, Natsu. As much as I love what you are doing here, you'll get sick if you don't go." Lucy groaned and almost fell back to the bed.

"You are insane. As much as I admire your strong fighting spirit you need to eat something and you aren't getting out of bed. So, I'm going to be a good friend and help you out." He muttered and loaded up the spoon and guided it to Lucy's lips.

While she ate Natsu took a second to take in her features. Her hair was disheveled, she had the stars sparkling in her eyes, her nose was red and as cute as a cherry, her lips looked smooth and soft. She looked like an angel at least to him. Natsu kept feeding her and then had her lay down.

"Hey, Natsu?" Lucy ended up calling once she was laying down again. She would probably never be able to make up for this, "Thank you, but you can seriously go. I'm going to be okay." She said this as a warm hand hit her forehead, Why is he so warm? Why do his eyes never change? Why is he looking at me like that? Why is my heart beating so fast? These are the questions that ran through her mind.

However, Natsu gave a deep sigh, "I can't." He said like it was simple, "I have to make sure you are okay." He smiled softly and stayed sitting next to her. He narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean you can't, Natsu. I'm not dying. It's a little cold." Lucy chuckled, but then started coughing, "Seriously, I don't want to get you sick." She said, rolling over groaning, "Just go."

"You are so stubborn, but two can play at that game. I am not going anywhere until you get better. That's a promise and I know how you honor promises." Natsu gave a playful smirk as Lucy turned around and glared at him.

He was right. She couldn't stand when people broke promises and she never broke them herself. She sighed, "Fine, then I promise as soon as I get better that I'll never let you touch me again." She gave him a sickly smirk, but Natsu loved it and it made his eyes glint with mischief. Lucy recognized it and then groaned, "No, don't do it."

Natsu knew she was too weak to fight back in her weak state, so he tickled her and tickled her. Lucy laughed and squirmed around, "Well, I won't be able to do this when you get better, so I better do it now." Natsu chuckled and then found himself kissing her cheek, "Besides, I love your laugh." He smiled as he watched Lucy turn red.

"N-Natsu stop it!" She yelled out in laughter. Her stomach hurt and it was clear on her face, so Natsu obliged. Lucy took some time to get her breathing back to normal and sighed, "Fine you can touch me when I get better, you just can't tickle me anymore." She coughed again.

"Deal." He smirked and then hugged her and she hugged him, "Now go to sleep, you need to rest."

"Sure, doctor." Lucy smirked and laid down rolling over with a smile on her face she was relaxed as she fell asleep, not waking up until late at night where she found Natsu sleeping on the floor next to her bed. Upon seeing that she went back to bed with a smile on her face, looks like they both enjoyed each others company.

In the morning, Lucy was feeling better and she remembered what happened last night. She hugged her pillow and shut her eyes again. Natsu was already up and watching her. He placed a hand on her forehead and smiled, "Fever went down." He said happily.

Lucy sat up and smiled at Natsu, "Well, I'm better now, so you can leave." She said with a red face. "However, I have one thing to give you." She smirked and pulled him in by the scarf, pushing her lips against his. She was surprised to say the least when she felt his hand going through her hair.

Her hand stayed on his scarf. Her hands gripping it tight as they kissed each other. What both of them didn't know was how long they had both been waiting for something like this to happen. No Happy in the room. No guild making fun of them. Just them, alone, kissing and wearing their hearts out on their sleeves. Sure, they had expressed their admiration for the other the other night, but this was a rush of emotions all in one. Fear, Love, Happiness all present as they held each other close.

Lucy was the first to pull away only slightly, "Natsu, I love you." She smiled and Natsu said it straight back in response.

It was a happy start to a relationship everybody knew was already going to happen.
