Lucy p.o.v

I felt my head get lighter and the light shine behind my eye lids. Her whole body felt cold except my right hand. There it was comfortable warm. I yearned for that warmth to incase my body, it felt so familiar and so gentle, so I increase my grip on the warmth wanting to draw it closer but when I did the grip on my hand increased and I heard a voice calling out to me.

"Lucy" it mumbled the voice sounded rumbly and ruff, but how is it that I felt happy when I heard it. I let my eyes flutter open and I find myself in the infirmary and the sunlight flooded the room. I turned my head to find a pair of hand clutching my hand for dear life and I knew at once who it was.

"Lucy. Oh god Lucy you're awake!" exclaimed Natsu. I haven't ever seen him so happy before not once in my life. I felt so relieved that he was safe.

"Wait here I'll go get the others." He said glee written on his face. I grabbed onto his hand. I didn't want him to leave, not after what happened; I didn't want to be alone.

"Don't go" I pleaded even to me my voice sounded weak and feeble I wonder what he thought. He looked round to look at me with shock ridden eyes. "Lucy what's...what's wrong."

Those words seemed to set me off. They made me say things I never would have said otherwise. "Don't go. Please, don't go. I know you don't want to talk to me because of...because of what I said about Igneel but...but you have to believe me when I say that I'm really really sorry." Tears started to glaze my eyes and fill them to the brim, and then they stared to tumble down my cheeks. These tears filled with so much sorrow and so much shame. Shame of hurting some I love so dearly.

"I never ever meant those words I said, I was just so...so angry. It was my anger that made me say those words but my heart never believed in any of it. I could never hate you Natsu, because I...I love you so...so much." I let the sobs take over my body which only made me clutch his hand harder.

"Lucy I-"

"Wait Natsu let...let me finish." I had to finish what I had to say before he never wants to speak to me again. "I know that you couldn't forgive me after what I said but I'm begging you please...please don't leav-"

I was stopped suddenly when Natsu brought me into a warm embrace. His warmth enclosed my body and demolished any sign of the cold that was there.

"What are you talking about I could never leave you. You weirdo. You're so important to me" his voice was hushed but the emotion it held ringed loudly in my ear. "And what are you talking about forgiveness you did nothing wrong in the first place. I'm the one who destroyed your precious work, I'm the one who said those harsh words to you...I hit you Luce."

He griped me tighter, I felt overwhelmed, and I was in shock I never expected him to be this way not at all. "If anyone needs forgiving it's me. Lucy I'm so sorry." We stayed like that for a moment it was Natsu who broke the silence. "I so glad you're safe I thought that I'd never see you again. I couldn't protect you."

"It's ok Natsu." I mumbled

Natsu suddenly sat up his face held a serious expression and his eyes had a gleam of stubbornness. "It's not ok, it's not. What type of person would I be if I couldn't protect the person I love? I promise that I will protect you. Forever."

I looked at him my heart filled with joy. "Me too."

And as we slowly leaned in and our lips met I knew that at that moment that we were thinking the same thing.

I will protect you

Well there you have it. I know that its short but its the best i could do.

And I want to say a big thank you to all the people who reviewed. It made me really happy

I hope to see you soon

Lots of Hugs
