"Get up."

"MM," he let out an angry sounding moan.

"I said GET UP."

He threw a pillow at her.

Earlier that day, near the end of the appointment, the doctor mustered up enough courage to re-enter the room after walking in on Natsu and Lucy's little incident, and took Natsu's many bandages and casts off. So, he could move around a lot more. But now, he was lying face-down on Lucy's bed.

"Natsu, I said I was sorry! Stop being like this, you're acting like an emotionally unstable teenage girl."

"Shut up. It's not my fault."

"What, are you upset that I stole your first kiss?"

"Why the hell would I care about that?"

"You tell me! You're the one being upset, even though you didn't seem to care at the time!"

"Look Luce, I don't know why it bothers me, okay?"

"Alright, alright, but seriously, get up. I have to help you relearn walking."

"I don't need to. I can walk on my own."

"Stop being so stubborn! I'm going to help you, that's what I'm here for! I WANT to help you, Natsu! Because I... I l-"

"Okay, fine."

Lucy reached out her hand, offering help.

Natsu bashfully accepted her hand, and with her assistance, stood up.

"Thanks for cooperating. Do you want to try walking to the guild?"

"Y-yeah, sure."

After throwing her arm around Natsu's shoulder, the two slowly started making their way towards the guild.

For a while, neither of them bothered talking, but finally, Natsu decided to start a conversation.

"Luce... I'm sorry for overreacting earlier."

"It's fine. I understand. It was my fault to begin with, so there's no need for you to apologize."

"But I shouldn't have been a jerk about it, because... because... I... I actually... I l-lo-OOF!" He tripped mid-sentence, and since Lucy was holding onto him, she fell too. And, she so "conveniently" landed right on top of Natsu.

"Are you okay?"

Natsu was unfocused. His eyes were widened, and he slowly started leaning in, unsure himself of what he was about to do.

"N-natsu?"

Their lips touched for the second time that day. But this time, it was initiated by Natsu.

Lucy quickly pushed herself away. "Natsu.. let's get back to 'work'" She immediately regretted those words.

Why... why did I just give up kissing the guy I'm in love with?

Holding back her tears of remorse, Lucy held out a helping hand.

What neither Natsu nor Lucy realized up till then was that Natsu tripped in front of the guild. Meaning the entire situation occurred with a few familiar spectators, one of which being Happy.

The blue cat giggled, flying back into the guild. "Hehe, they llllliiike each other!"

A/N I'm sorry that this chapter took me a long time, and it's so short too :( I've been kind of busy lately. Heh, they were just about to admit their feelings for each other, too. God, they're dense. There are only two chapters left, I believe! I think the last favor will be rather interesting XD You'll have to wait and see! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
