Natsu sprinted down the stairs. It had been two weeks since they had found Lucy in the basement of a warehouse. Lisana was under extreme punishment but she was not kicked out of the guild. Natsu had been called and told that something was wrong with Lucy.
Natsu burst through the doors of the infirmary of the guild. "What happened?!" He yelled. Porliusca turned. "Shush boy!" She sighed. "Geez, your loud. She needs rest and if you don't pipe down she's not going to get any." "Fine, just tell me what happened." He said, walking to Lucy's bedside. Porliusca explained what happened.
"Ok, but, is she going to be ok?" Natsu asked. "Probably." Porliusca replied. Natsu sighed with relief. "Don't get so happy yet, this means that she won't be going home tomorrow." "Why?" He asked. "I don't have time to explain this to you, just get out so I can work on her." "But-" "Get out!" Natsu grudgingly left the infirmary. Porliusca looked down at Lucy. "You stupid human, you have to wake up."
Natsu went home and sat down on his couch. "Damn it Luce." He put his face in his hands. "Damn it!" "Natsu?" Happy sleepily walked into the living room. Natsu wiped the tears that had started to build up in his eyes. "Hey little buddy." "What's going on Natsu." "Uh nothing, it's just that Lucy won't be coming home tomorrow. She hasn't woken up yet."
"What does that mean Natsu?" Happy asked, tears started dwelling up in his eyes. Natsu looked up at Happy, a sad look on his face. "I don't know." He said. Happy flew into Natsu's arms. "I'm scared, what if she doesn't make it?" "Happy, don't think like that. She's going to wake up and she's going to make it. Let's just go to sleep." "Yeah, ok, I just took a little nap but I'm still exhausted."
"Natsu! Natsu!" Mirajane ran in to Natsu's room. "Natsu." "What?" He said. "She's awake." Natsu jumped out of bed. Mira, Happy, and Natsu ran out to go see Lucy.
"Lucy!" Natsu said as he burst through the doors to the infirmary. Lucy was talking to Porliusca and Gray."Luce! You're awake." He ran over to her and hugged her. "Hey, what happened?" Lucy said in a raspy voice. "You've been unconscious since we found you, 3 weeks ago. You were awake for a little while but then you fell asleep again." Natsu said. "I-its been 3 weeks?" Lucy said shakily. "Yes." Porliusca said.
"And Lis-" "Let's not focus on her right now, you're awake and that's all that matters." Natsu said, clenching his teeth at the thought of Lisana. "Well, when can I go home?" Lucy asked. "In two days." Porliusca said. The master walked in. "Lucy." He said. "I'm sorry this happened to you. You should be relieved to know that Lisana is under extreme punishment. Don't worry, she won't be after you." Lucy nodded.
Natsu sat silent. Lisana. They had been best friends before, since they were kids. Then she had kissed him on the porch of the guild. And then it started. Natsu and Lisana were together. But then she got a job that was across the kingdom. Then she got more and more until it was everyday, she practically lived there. It wasn't the same job of course, but other people in the area heard how good she was and kept hiring her.
Natsu swiped that thought from his head. That's over now. No more Lisana, no more abuse, just Lucy. That's all he cared about. "Natsu, what's wrong?" Lucy asked. He looked up. "Nothing. I'm just going to grab a bite to eat." He got up and went upstairs to the bar. "He's still mad." Lucy said. "I would be too." Gray said. "If my girlfriend was beat up by my ex to the point where she's in a coma for 3 weeks. I'd be pissed." "Yeah, I guess so."
Natsu sat at the bar of the guild. He took a sip of his beer as he thought. He never really liked Lisana. The only reason he dated her was because he was under the pressure of her kissing him. And he needed to think about someone other than Lucy. But he never actually liked her. So what made her like him so much?
2 days later...
"Ok Lucy, this is the day. You'll be going home today." Mira said. "Yeah, I'm kind of nervous." Lucy said. "There's nothing to worry about." Natsu said. "I'll be there the whole time." "Good." Lucy said. Then the master walked in. He liked to check up on Lucy. But this time, he walked in with, Lisana.
Natsu stood up and balled his fists. "Gramps! Why would you bring her in here?" He yelled. "Settle down Natsu." Makarov said. "She is under supervision. If she tries anything, I'll stop her. She just wants to say something." Makarov walked Lisana to the foot of Lucy's bed. "Lucy." She said with a small voice. "I'm so sorry. I should have never done what I did. I'm so so sorry." "Just do me a favor Lis." Lucy said. "Don't date for a while." Lisana chuckled a bit. "Sure thing."
Gramps took Lisana back out of the infirmary. Natsu was still standing there. His face was dark and his hands were trembling. He wanted to knock the living hell out of Lisana. But all he could do was stand there and watch as his girlfriend forgave her for putting her in a coma. He couldn't stand it. "How early can she go home." Natsu asked. "In a few minutes." Porliusca said. "I just have to do a couple more things and then she'll be on her way."
"How could you just forgive her?" Natsu asked. He was walking with Lucy back home. "I never forgave her, I could just tell she was feeling guilty, I wanted to be nice, try and at least reassure her that I was alright." "But you don't have to do that. She's supposed to feel guilty. We were worried you weren't going to wake up. She could have killed you."
Lucy stopped walking an turned to Natsu. She put her hand on his face. "But she didn't Natsu. I'm fine." She kissed him, grabbed his hand, and kept walking. They got home and the whole guild was there. "Surprise!" They yelled. "Oh my gosh! Thanks you guys!" Lucy exclaimed. "Welcome back Lucy." Cana said, walking towards Lucy with open arms. Lucy returned the gesture and hugged her.
Everyone drank, played games, and danced. Everyone had fun, except for Natsu. "Natsu." Lucy said with a whiny voice. "Why do you look so sad?" "Luce, your drunk." He said chuckling a little. "Come on Natsu! Have some fun, dance with me." She grabbed his hand and twirled herself with his arm. "Fine." Natsu said. They dance for a little while.
By 1 am Natsu was the only one who was awake and sober. Everyone else had passed out on the living room floor. Natsu picked Lucy up and brought her to bed. He went into the bathroom. To get ready for bed. He brushed his teeth and hair, took off his shirt and shoes, and crawled into bed with Lucy.
Natsu layed on his side, facing away from Lucy. Lucy turned over and wrapped her arms around him. "Your warm Natsu." She said with a soft voice. He turned on his other side to face her. She snuggled into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. "Don't ever leave." She said. "I won't." He replied. But she didn't hear him, because she was already asleep.
