Lucy slowly stepped through the slightly arched infirmary door and made her way to window by the side of Natsu's bed and stared out of it momentarily.
"You asked to see me, Natsu?" Lucy's heart was beating rapidly as she waited for a reply.
"Mmmn…" Natsu appeared to be sleeping.
Lucy turned around at the effortless noise that was made.
"Really?" she thought to herself, but couldn't help but be reminded of the incident the day before when Natsu collided with the floor over a single apple.
"…Mmmn…wha-?" Natsu arose from his half-hearted slumber.
"Oi."
"Who…OH!" Natsu flailed his arms around when he realised who was in the room.
"You asked to see me, you dolt."
"No, I…no I didn't." Natsu looked exceedingly confused at this accusation.
"Well if you didn't…then why did Wendy come and say that you did?"
"I 'unno."
The both of them exchanged blank looks.
Silence followed.
About 30 seconds went by and Lucy gulped to speak.
"So uhh…someone said something about 'The Prominence'…they said that I should ask you about that."
"You're kidding, right?"
"Would I have asked if I was?" Lucy crossed her arms at this retaliation.
Silence begun again.
"Exactly." Lucy answered her own question.
"Look. Lucy. I really don't what you getting involved in this, you've nothing to worry about, I can handle this myself."
" "I can handle it myself"? You do realise what state you came in the other day, right?" Lucy replied, not believing what he'd just said.
"Ye-."
"Let me finish." Natsu shut his mouth. "By the looks of it, you nearly died. What if you didn't get away? What do you think would have happened then? Do you seriously think that the others would be so calm if you hadn't have come back the other day? You've been here much longer than what I have, and you surely must know how the others would react, you idiot!" she shouted at him, with tears streaming down her face, she was met with Natsu's chest soon after, he'd mustered his strength to lean up and pull her towards him.
"This is exactly why I didn't want you to know anything, you weirdo."
"You're calling me the weirdo, when you can breathe fire?"
"Shut up, you're the one who can summon every type of meat there is."
They both chuckled as Natsu slowly started to drift back to sleep, and Lucy did the same, whilst resting on Natsu's chest still.
Mirajane poked her head through the door and smiled at the scene before her, the two sleeping had somehow locked their hands together, she left the room again and silently squeaked to herself.
"Ok, no more people are to visit Natsu for now, he's sleeping."
"What happened to Lucy?" Erza called from a nearby table.
"Oh, she's sleeping as well." she smiled.
