I don't know what to say but, I'm deeply sorry for the mistakes you find while reading because I'm a lazy person who doesn't read the chapter after writing it. I'm really sorry, I just read the last chapter I wrote and I'm laughing at myself, so I decided to do better and amend my mistakes through the next chapters.

Thanks for enduring it.

Chapter21

The fire dragon slayer gulped as he closed his eyes slowly. Pain was increasing slowly in his body and he couldn't help changing that fact that actually true. Right now, he looked pathetic as he became so weak like that. He didn't want longer in the bathroom but he also didn't want to show his weary face to her. It was so hard to do a thing he didn't like and it was hard enough to bear a pain that he didn't have the power to bear.

Hearing the girl's sobs out was really killing him and causes million pains in his body. It was so hard. Natsu started rubbing his head through his hair as he felt like he was hopeless man. He didn't want to be weak but his body had already reached his limit and can't do any other steps.

On the other hand, the girl kept crying her heart out of not being able to ease the pain on him. She was a hopeless woman who couldn't bear doing anything. She feels like she was the reason of his state and she can't do anything to amend her mistakes. She was the one who asked divorcement after the death of her dear child. She thought that it was better for both of them but that time, she didn't know that she is going to regret it like that. She didn't know that she will be suffering this much.

Spring flower, yeah Haru was their spring flower that was given them as a gift from the God and they couldn't protect him. And the God was punishing them. It seemed like it was a punishment but it's the destiny that can't be changed.

Her tears weren't stoppable as they kept pouring her cheeks down. She wanted Natsu to get out from there but had no words to ease on him. She was hopeless in the moment.

"Lucy…"

A voice called over her. She moved her head to the direction that the voice came from to realize that Erza and Gray were standing shocked of her sitting position in front of the bathroom's door.

"Lucy, did anything happen to Natsu?!" the redhead Erza rushed to where the blonde sat and looked down at her. Lucy was looking at her and followed her with her eyes but then moved her head to look down at her lap.

"H-He was… vomiting really hard. I couldn't help him." The woman burst in tears as she kept staring down at her lap. The both mages looked in shock at her and then raised her head to look at the door. They were like the woman who was hopeless unable to do a thing. They wanted to help their friend but had no idea how to help him out.

"N-Natsu," the redhead called as she started knocking on the wooden door catching his attention. "A-Are you alright?"

He didn't answer them as he kept staring at the ground for seconds. He would answer a 'Yes' even when he is not fine though. He didn't want them to realize how weak he was even though he knows that he was so obvious.

"I-I'm fine," Natsu opened his mouth to talk and that made his friends a little relived about it.

"How long do you plan to stay there?" Gray talked this time as he tried to change that atmosphere. The pink haired guy didn't answer that as he kept staring at the ground. Don't you realize that you are sitting inside the bathroom?"

"Can you go away for now?"

Natsu said quietly as he got nothing except for silence. The three mages were silent unable to say a word because they understood what Natsu was thinking about. He looked pathetic now and he didn't want for anyone to see him like that.

"We are waiting for you outside."

"Come on Lucy," the redhead said as she grabbed both of the mages hands helping her to stand up. Lucy's eyes never left the wooden door. She was sick worried about the guy and was helpless to do anything. She started walking together with the two of them.

As they got outside the place, Gray and Erza kept staring at the woman before them. They wanted to ask what happened but was simply afraid to do that.

"Natsu, he is…" she started talking catching the two's attention. "His body is getting weaker." She stated looking at the ground trying to conceal the tears and not losing herself in the moment. The black haired and the redhead shared a look as their hearts tightened at what the other mage said.

"Lucy…"

"Even though he is trying as much as he could not to show us his weakness, there are a lot of things down from his hands." Lucy said as she held her hands to her chest not moving her eyes from the ground.

"When I first knew about it, he said that… he doesn't want anyone to pity him." Gray stated as he looked at the ground as well. He raised his head to look at the both, "Even when it's so hard for us to bear, he doesn't want to be treated like a patient."

"That's true but, we can't deny that fact about being a one." The redhead raised her head to look at the sky letting a long sigh. Gray kept looking at her and then opened his mouth to talk once again as he remembered something.

"Also, I asked him once what does he want to do and I will do it for him then he told me to treat him like I used to." The man continued catching the ladies' attention.

"So it's like treating him like our old days when Lucy joined Fairy tail." Erza said this time making the blonde look at her as she a vision of the first day she saw Natsu and how cheerful he was came into her mind.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying."

"That's a good thing to do but first we have to take him some place," Erza looked at the inside of the house to check if Natsu had come out or not.

"Place, what place?"

"Polychica-san's"
