Imprisoned Hearts
Chapter 7

Where food is essential. So is sharing.

I do not own Fairy Tail.

- O – O – O – O – O -

Natsu had his mouth open in disbelief.
"Food…"

It was followed by his stomach rumbling.
"Just one rice ball?!" he screamed.
"It seems we have the same meal," said a calm Erza.
"Meal?! Are you kidding me?"

Erza grunted as she looked at the rice ball she was holding.
"I'm guessing it's for breakfast."
"Just how long are they planning to keep us here?!"
"A day. We still have a few hours."
"What?!"
"Maybe they forgot about us."
"Wha-"

It was Natsu's stomach again.
"Ah, nevermind."
He quickly breathed fire on his rice ball, changing it to his liking,
And he ate it with a few chews and a gulp.

Automatically, his hand reached out as if he still had a plate full of food.
But there was none.
Just the ground.
"Damn this!" he exclaimed.

"I prefer cakes," Erza stated. "You can have mine."
Natsu's eyes brightened at the offer.
Almost at the same time, his eyes narrowed.
"Why would you be sharing?"

"Well, I'm not like you. And I inspected the food," replied Erza. "It seems safe to eat it. You should considered checking it too, since they might be trying to poison you."
"Posion? Bah! It can't be!"
Natsu shook his head, totally convinced that food would always be safe and fulfilling.

"So you don't want it?" Erza asked.
"You still have to eat," Natsu said with a growl from his stomach.

"Not entirely convincing," muttered Erza.
"Tha- that's just a natural reaction since I just ate something." Natsu chuckled nervously.

"You want me to believe that?"
Natsu gulped. Erza was glaring at him.
"Ye – yes?"

Erza raised an eyebrow.
"You do know this is precious food. And your stomach needs it."
"What about yours?"
"Let's say I am on a diet."

Natsu's eyes bulged at an unimaginable size. "What?!"
Erza nodded calmly. "It's true."
"But I saw you eating cake in the guild yesterday!"

"That was a gift from Levy and the others," Erza informed.
"How come I didn't get one?" asked Natsu.
"For girls, Natsu."
"How unfair."

"That just shows that you should have my rice ball. I've had enough."
"A cake doesn't last long for a day!"
"Eat it," Erza ordered.
Natsu continued objecting.

Until he earned a smack on the head.
"Ow!"
Natsu lolled to one side.
Erza supported him and forced her rice ball in his mouth.

Natsu immediately reacted but decided to give up.
He bit the rice ball.

"Natsu, don't bite my hand!"
He earned a gentle slap from Erza.
"Sho- shori!" Natsu sais, muffled by his chewing, as he retreated a little.

"It's fine, I guess."
"Bud myur shteal boing du freak mi."
"What?"

Natsu swallowed his food and cleared his throat.
"But you're still going to treat me, right?"
"You moron."

Natsu feared what was going to happen.
But Erza just laughed.

":How about we eat on a train?" Erza asked.
"Uggh…"
Just thin king about it seemed to make Natsu feel motion sickness already.

Was that possible?
Erza continued to laugh, getting full with happiness.
