Hello, everyone!~ I was a little um... busy watching Fullmetal Alchemist. (BTW SO AWESOME! From: Shipper of Ed x Winry) DON'T SPOIL ANYTHING FOR ME! I want to find out if they actually end up together. Anyway, so I was writing this one shot, right? And me, being retarded, decided to write it all on Copy-N-Paste. I continued writing, but the page refreshed and deleted all of my sweat, blood, and tears. -_- Seriously. I would have screamed bloody murder if I was alone in the house. Sigh. When life gives you virtual distress, write another chapter. Did anyone read the new chapter of the manga? SO UNBELIEVABLE. I won't spoil things.
DISCLAIMER: IdonotownFairyTail. (That kinda looks like it says "I donut town Fairy Tail...")
Lucy's POV
Laying on my bed, I stared up at the dark ceiling. The slits of moonlight coming in from the window provided enough light to illuminate my face. Did today really happen? Maybe... maybe it was all just a dream, and I'll wake up any moment, laughing about how silly my dream was. But for a dream, it seemed pretty freaking real. Back there... I was about to actually kiss Natsu. That flamebrained dense idiot of a partner. The one that constantly teased, and said some things straight out insulting, unintentionally. Despite it being 3 in the morning, my mind would not rest. Again and again, my brain replayed the scene. Us, holding hands, leaning in. Stop it, Lucy. I scolded myself. Probably, there was something on my face and he just wanted to see what it was or something. That thought didn't really reassure me, but I accepted that and drifted off to sleep.
"Lucy." Huh? Who's that?
"It's me, Natsu. Your boyfriend." WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! BOYFRIEND?!
"Lets break up." The words froze my heart, even if all of this was really bizarre.
"I never really loved you." Tears pooled at the corner of my eyes.
"I only got in a relationship with you because it made everyone happy." No...
"Yes... I admit, it was amusing at first. Then you got unbearable." I clamped my hands over my mouth to keep my sobs from escaping.
"Goodbye, Lucy." Don't go... No...
My eyes snapped open, hair drenched in cold sweat. What... was that nightmare? I haven't had a nightmare in years. I pressed my hand to my forehead, wiping off some of the perspiration. Eww. Throwing the covers off, I realized, I desperately needed a shower. Getting up, I almost crashed into my sofa. My head felt awfully heavy as I stumbled to the bathroom. The last thing I saw was my hand reaching for a towel before I blacked out.
Natsu's POV
"Do you think Lucy will be awake?" Happy asked, walking along Luce's street with me.
"I think so. If she's not, we can raid her fridge."
"Aye!"
Luce's familiar apartment building came up ahead. Her window wasn't open, but that didn't bother me. Happy grabbed my scarf and flew us up to the window. Easily sliding the glass open, Happy leaped inside, and I followed suit. Her bed was empty, but her sheets were unmade.
"Lucyyyyyy! Are you hiding?" Happy called out. I spotted a blonde blob of hair by the bathroom. It was Lucy on the floor, her whole face red!
"Lushee!" Happy quickly ran over. Picking her up off the floor gently, I brushed the damp strands of hair off her face. Happy flew around frantically, urging me to put her on the bed. Tucking Lucy in bed, Happy wailed, "What do we do?"
"I know! Let's get Mira to take a look at her! Mira can tell us whats wrong! Happy, stay here, I'll go get her!"
"Aye!"
Normal POV
Natsu hurriedly told Mira, while the rest of the girls were listening by the way, that Lucy was sick and he needed Mira to come take a look. Natsu ended up leading Cana, Levy, Juvia, Erza, and Mira to Lucy's house. The girls almost knocked the door down, trying to get in the house all at once. The group regarded each other with a look that said, seriously? Nevertheless, they filed around Lucy's bed, waiting for Mira to figure out what exactly was ailing her. Cana's shouts of "IT COULD BE HAY FEVER! OR, OR A COLD, OR A DISEASE THAT CAN'T BE CURED!" did not help. Especially when said girl was chugging back bottles of booze in anxiety. Happy was sadly sitting on her pillow, patting Lucy's hair. Mira leaned down, to get a better look.
"Lu-chan was perfectly fine yesterday!"
"Juvia does not wish for Love Rival to be sick!"
"Its a disease, isn't it!?"
"Lucy is strong. I believe she will be better in no time."
"Poor Lu-chan... She looks like she's in pain."
The group was silenced when Mira stood up.
"Don't worry everyone. It's just a fever. Although what caused it, I don't know." The girls all sighed in relief.
"Yosh! It'll do Lucy good if everyone is near! We'll have a slumber party here!"
"Juvia thinks thats a good idea!"
"I'd love to! But shouldn't we ask Lu-chan first?"
"Ah, it'll be fine."
The four realized that Natsu hadn't said anything.
Finally, he said, "I'm staying here too. I want to be beside Luce." He faced the girls. Mira was trying really hard not to squeal, Cana was one of indifference, Levy looked happy, and Erza's expression was one of approval.
"Aye. I'm staying too."
The girls went home to gather their pajamas and sleeping bags while Natsu stayed in Lucy's house. He didn't have pajamas anyways. Happy was already curled up, asleep, for his first cat nap. The sun was still high in the sky. About 20 minutes later, the girls came back with Wendy.
"I'm sorry... I can't heal fevers, only wounds..." Everyone assured her that it was okay, and no one expected her to.
Around sunset, Lucy woke up. She had a splitting headache that felt like someone was tapping on the inside of her head with a hammer. The first person she saw was Natsu, and she was painfully aware that she was in unflattering old pajamas and was extremely sweaty, like she just ran 5 miles in the sun.
"Luce! I was so worried..." He said, eyes full of concern.
"S-sorry." Last night's dream came floating up to her subconsciousness and she winced. Lucy averted his gaze and noticed there were 5 sleeping bags neatly rolled out.
"What's that?"
"Oh, Mira, Levy, Juvia, Erza, and Wendy said they would stay here. They're in the kitchen, trying to make dinner." A loud crash was heard and Lucy thought of the saying, 'Too many cooks in the kitchen'. A warm hand was placed on her forehead, and Natsu said, " Your fever is going down."
"Can I take a shower?"
"That depends, do you want to be wrestled back into bed by 5 girls?"
"Never mind." Lucy muttered.
