"You're my wife Luce."

"And you're my husband, yes we both know that.. but let's admit it, this is something that was pLanned by my parents. There's reaLLy no US Natsu."

"I don't understand Luce.." he definitely understand what Lucys trying to say. It's just that he also didn't know the answer. He's still trying to figure it out himself. All he knows right now is that he don't want their marriage to fail.

"We're a total strangers to each other Natsu. You married me because of some business agreement and I played my part as your wife because it is what was expected by my parents." she sigh "And as you said before, you can't promise that this... this marriage will get better. So make me understand Natsu why are you here right now? You don't really have to fix things with me. If you want to be with.. her.. Lisanna.. or with anyone else, you can just fiLe a divorce so we can both.."

She wasn't able to finish her word since Natsu pulled her close and hugged her.

"Divorce is not an option Luce." he said without breaking his embrace to her. Lucy was right, he didn't have to fix their relationship since there's no real relationship in the first place. But when he heard her say divorce, he became anxious. He's not so sure if he wanted to be in a real relationship right now but what he's sure about is that divorce is a big no and he wanted to be with his wife.. to know her more.

"Yes I did not promise that our situation will get better. But I did not say that I won't try to be a good husband and make things work for us."

Lucy let out a small sarcastic laugh.

"You're trying to be a good husband and make things work for us? Are you doing this out of pity? Again Natsu we're not even friends, we're just married in paper."

Natsu freed her from his embrace then looked at her while frowning.

"We're not friends Luce because we're husband and wife. That is more than friends. I'm not reaLLy sure what kind of answers you like to hear from me but there's onLy one thing that I can assure you now, I am here because I've been missing you, my wife, and I still have a lot of explaining to do."

"I want to know Natsu what are we really?" she asked "And if you can't answer that then maybe we're better off getting a divorce. We're stiLL young and we both can stiLL find someone else better to settle with. Besides, you're not the onLy eligibLe bachelor in town.."

Her statement was cut off when Natsu grabbed her hand and walked fast. She didn't have a choice but to follow his steps while saying "Hey, slow down where are we going?"

Natsu stopped in front of her room. He reached for the key in his pocket and said "The other doctors are back, did you not hear them?"

Lucy just then realized that when she heard some of her colleagues laughed. Also she did not fail to notice that Natsu has a sparekey to her room but before she can even react, she's already inside with Natsu and she's pinned to the door.

Natsus hand leaning on both sides of her head and the only view that she can see is his eyes.

"How did you get a spare.." she tried to ask but Natsus voice overpowered hers.

"Other eligible bachelor in town huh?" he asked while staring at her chocolate eyes.

Her knees is shaking, it was dark inside the room and she can't avoid looking at his eyes.

"Yeah, its not like I don't know any other bachelor.." again she was cut off but this time it was not because Natsu stopped her. She wasn't able to continue because Natsu chuckled while he looked down at the floor.

"What's funny?" she asked raising one eyebrow.

"You. Wife. You're funny." he looked at her eyes again and continued "You've already got the best bachelor in town and yet you wanted to settle to the ones below me?"

He was joking but it was half meant.

"Why not as long as I know where I stand in their life.. If I can be their princess then..."

"Queen."

"Huh?"

"You're no princess Luce. You're a queen. My queen."

Lucy was stunned by his remark and was unable to respond.

"Help me out here Luce. I'm here not to argue with you and definitely not get a divorce. I'm here to make things right and not to hear you fantasizing about other bachelors. I'm here so I can be with you and apologize for making you cry because of my stupidity."

He bowed his head, heave a sigh and shook his head "What are we? What is "us"? I.. I don't know Luce. I also don't know."

He leaned forward so his forehead is touching hers and whisper as he closes his eyes

"All I know is that I don't want you mad at me and the thought of you leaving me for good makes me sick."

He took Lucys hand and place it near his heart.

"This. Its incomplete, afraid and empty. I can't offer this to you now. Not in its current state. Please Luce, stay with me.."

He stayed like that waiting for Lucy to respond but she did not say anything. Because of her silence, he thought his words doesn't have any effect on her. So he stood straight and decided to leave. He didn't want to force Lucy to accept everything that he said. He knew he's not in the position to ask her again to believe him. He was about to ask her to move from the door but he was surprised on what happened next.

Lucy snaked her arms around his neck and buried her face on his shoulder.

"I'll take it Natsu tho its incomplete or empty.. Let me complete you." she whispered.

"I'd like that." He responded without second thought.

She's not sure why she said that she'll take his heart. It was such a bold move but she was more surprised when he agreed. Its a good start to build a real relationship, she thought.

Lucy smiled and broke her hug with him.

"But you're not yet off the hook Dragneel. I'm all ears with yout explanation about the news."

Lucy said playfully.
