It has been two weeks since Lucy woke up.
She had been treated and was already walking well. The doctors say they had never seen someone recover so fast from a 6 months coma.
Every couple of days, she would get letters from either her parents or nurses from the boy who said he was with her during her coma, but she never got to see him.
And now, Lucy was going to be discharged next day, and she would never see him again, because he probably won't talk to her in school.
While she was thinking, her parents came by to pick everything for her to take it to her room and chatted for some time. When it was past breakfast time, they decided to take their leave.
As they left, they met the boy who spent his time with Lucy every moment they couldn't.
"Hello there, how are you?" Layla asked the but and shook his hand.
"I'm all good, you?" He asked and shook Jude's hand.
"Great! Lucy is coming home tomorrow, so we came by to take all the presents you gave her" Jude replied, showing a huge box he just put on the ground.
"Oh, she is?" The boy asked with a hint of sadness.
"You should come visit her tomorrow at our house" Layla suggested with a warm smile.
"Join us for dinner maybe?" Jude added.
"I'll think about it, thank you!" The boy replied with a grin.
"Okay, we'll see you later, goodbye" Jude said and lifted the box.
"Goodbye Natsu" Layla waved and left with her husband.
"Guess I have more time to spend with dad then" Natsu told himself as he turned to go to his father's room.
When he entered the room, his father was already awake.
"Good morning old man" Natsu said, sitting down next to the bed on a chair.
"'Morning kid" His father, Igneel, replied after a yawn escaped his lips.
"How you holding up?" Natsu asked as he glanced at his father's arm.
More correctly, where he's arm was.
"Been better" Igneel replied with a sigh.
"Didn't go visit you girlfriend?" Igneel asked as he checked the time, Natsu was too early.
"She ain't my girlfriend" Natsu retorted with a pout.
"Yet" Igneel winked.
"Yeah... Yet..." Natsu replied with a soft smile.
"So, why you here and not with her? I'm not used to seeing you so early" Igneel asked and stretched his arm.
"You want me to leave?" Natsu raised a brow with a teasing smirk.
"Just wanted to know since when you prefer your pop and not your future wife" Igneel retorted with a chuckle.
"She's being discharged tomorrow, wanted to let her rest and not annoy her"
Lucy decided to go to the cafeteria to grab something to eat, she didn't eat enough at lunch and wanted to see what was left.
As she went in, A boy left with 2 plates full of food. The only reason Lucy noticed him, was his scarf.
A white, scaled scarf that resembled a dragon's skin.
Natsu's scarf.
Lucy turned around and went out, trying to find the boy, but to no avail.
She went back to the cafeteria and took a few apples and honey, bought a strawberry shake and water, and went back to her room.
On Lucy's way back, she heard 2 nurses talking and for some reason, she listened. She doesn't usually do this but she couldn't help herself.
"He's very nice, yes. He helped me carry the food and went to bring more" One of the nurses gushed.
"How cute, that boy is such a good son" The other said smiling.
"He also has a friend here, he told me he visits his dad and a friend from school who is in a bad state. He reads them stories and brings toys. Such a wonderful boy! I wish my son was as nice as him" The first nurse finished with a sigh.
"Your son is a very nice and kind boy, he just never got into these kinds of situations for you to see how he would react" The other nurse retorted.
"That boy, he goes to the same school as my kid and their friend that is here. My son surely knows of that kid that's here" The first nursed said.
"Maybe he isn't that kid's friend? Don't overthink it Ur" The second nurse said and patted the first nurse, Ur apparently is her name.
"I won't I won't, thank you Porlyusica" Ur said with a soft smile.
Lucy smiled at that.
'Visiting his friend and father at the hospital... That's probably hard to do and stay so nice and helping' Lucy thought and went to her room with a smile.
'I wish more people were like that boy'.
It was late in the evening when Lucy decided to walk around the hospital. She couldn't fall asleep anyways.
As she strolled and smiled to whoever she saw, she found herself at the rehabilitation section.
This is where she had her treatments, but she never got to look around the section really.
"Visiting hours are over dear, you need to go" She heard a nurse say in the room she past.
"Oh, sorry" She heard a sleepy voice say.
That voice was familiar though, like she knew that voice too good.
Like that voice belonged to Natsu.
Lucy ran behind a pillar, she decided to hide and try to see if she was correct.
When the nurse went out of the room, she was followed by a young man. He was wearing a jacket with the hood on so Lucy couldn't see who he was.
"I'm overthinking it, there's no way" Lucy said to herself and went back to her room a few minutes later.
She walked with her head low, trying her best to not bump into people.
On her way she passed the restroom and decided to go in and wash her face.
When she went out, she met with a chest. Before she could fall from losing balance, two strong arms wrapped around her.
"Hey there" She heard the voice say.
She was too shocked to answer.
