Natsu and Lucy ran for ages and Natsu finally stopped and dropped Lucy on the ground.
"Ouch?!" Lucy exclaimed staring at Natsu angrily.
"Not my fault I can't carry you the whole time."
Lucy watched as Natsu's face color turned a deep red.
"What?!" she asked a little worried why he was angry.
"Uh…Well um…Lucy…no offense but you're pretty heavy" Natsu said before falling to his knees and panting for more air.
"WELL EXCUSE ME!" Lucy screamed before standing up. She found herself getting pulled back down and onto Natsu's lap.
"I don't mind though…" he whispered to her his face still red causing hers to do the same. Lucy jumped out of his lap and sighed with relief. Natsu chuckled his face no longer red.
"I was just kidding Luce don't get any ideas that I like you like that hehe" he said chuckling. Lucy felt something inside her hurt and she felt empty for some reason. Natsu stopped laughing when he saw Lucy looking at the ground with an uneasy feeling and a little upset.
"Hey are you ok?" Natsu asked her as he grabbed her chin and moved It up.
"Talk to me… what's wrong?" Natsu asked as he pushed her closer to him. Lucy couldn't even focus on what he was saying…all she could focus on was the strange feeling inside her and why her mood dramatically changed.
"Natsu…" she whispered as she moved her hand over her heart. Natsu watched in confusion and widened his eyes with surprise.
"Is it because I said I don't like you in a way like that?" he asked her a little quiet now. Lucy wasn't sure if she should say yes or deny it.
"Uhm…no I just uh…am really tired from today…and I'm in pain" Lucy said almost positive Natsu would believe that.
"Oh why didn't you say that in the first place?!" Natsu exclaimed as he stroked her hair.
"Come on we should get rest anyways…" Natsu concluded. Lucy watched as he climbed up a tree and she looked away again. Why did that hurt her anyways?
