Previously in Natsu's mate:

"Luce" Natsu snuggled the pillow beside him...

Lucy is walking to the guilds way; she let Natsu sleep in her apartment. Lucy is shocked to find Natsu unconscious in the alley near her apartment. Blazing like fire! Lucy never thought Natsu could catch cold, so she called Taurus and carried Natsu to her apartment. Lucy changed Natsu's clothes courtesy from Virgo. Then Happy came, Lucy is about to call Wendy when she is about to call Wendy when Natsu's fever went down. She said to Happy to fly ahead to the guild.

"Good thing his fine" When Lucy realized her concerned to Natsu, she blushed "Why am I so concern to that idiot?" Lucy remembered how she saw his body when changed Natsu's clothes!

'Those lean and toned muscles' "KYAAAAH! What the hell am I thinking?" Lucy mentally slapped herself.

Images of Natsu is kept popping in her mind.

"Am I attracted to Natsu?" Lucy questioned herself.

'No! No! He's my Best friend! For Master Mavis sake!' Lucy said in her thought.

'But Lucy what's so wrong on liking Natsu?' a voice inside her min asked. "Well for once his an idiot" She said 'an idiot who save you and protected you from many times with his life' the inner voice said 'Well I'm grateful for what he did..." Lucy reasoned in her mind but then...

A flash of Natsu's smile flashed in her mind...

'Luce!' a flashed of Natsu's face saying her name.

'You're Lucy of Fairy Tail' she remembered that time.

"We will survive this Lucy" As Natsu held her hand, when they were at the Tenrou Island.

"Luce!" He's voice repeating in her mind.

Lucy then stopped her steps as she bit her lower lip.

"I like Natsu!" it hit her!

Then she turned around and runs back to her apartment.

Natsu smelled Lucy; she is rushing to back to her apartment. Why? Does she forget something?

Natsu sniffed he doesn't recognized any danger at all. But why does she is running fast to home?

Lucy silently opened the door.

"Natsu" Lucy said as she pants a little from running.

"Hai?" Natsu said.

"Ammm, you're already awake." As Lucy buckle up. Lucy blushed.

"Listen I'll say this once Natsu I..." 'I can do this!' Lucy said. "ITHINKILIKEYOU!" Lucy shouted.

"Huh?" Natsu said 'Did I hear it right?'

Lucy bit her lower lip again her face is so red 'Did I said it right?' she asked herself.

But then...\(*O*)/

"Ahahahahaha, Luce I think I heard you wrong! I thought I heard you said you like me! ahahahahaha" Natsu said.

Lucy pouted, she took all the courage to say it to him and Natsu just laughed at her?

Lucy felt like she's about to cry!

Natsu smelt tears, "Uh, does this mean you really like me?" Natsu asked. Natsu felt his heart gonna burst from happiness! But before he could answer Lucy turned around and run away! Crying!

"Luce waits up!" Natsu shouted as he stood and followed Lucy!

Lucy runs very fast! She doesn't know Natsu followed her, but then when Natsu stepped out of Lucy's apartment, he pant hard again! And start's to sweat again and "Lu-ce" *pant* he felt heat again! It's engulfing his whole being! "HAH! HAH! HAH!" Natsu start's to hyperventilate! "Ack" his heart beats past that it hurt! He clutched his chest and then he fall down...

Lucy turned around when she heard a loud sound of a Thud!

"Natsu!" Lucy runs back to Natsu's aid.

"Lu-ce... ahhhh" He said as he hugged Lucy.

He can't help but to sniffed Lucy's scent in her neck,

Lucy felt ticklish but she let Natsu.

Natsu felt relief slowly...

"Natsu are you okay?" Lucy asked when she felt Natsu starts to breath normally.

They went inside her apartment again. She supported Natsu till they reach the couch.

"Luce.." Natsu said as he looked into her. They are still hugging each other.

"Luce... I'm sorry I didn't mean to laugh at you. The truth is I'm just happy. You like me. I like you too no more than like. Luce..." but before he could say another word his body starts to shake. He breath hard again *THUG*THUG* his heart starts to beat hard again!

"Natsu! What's happening to you?" Lucy asked as she held his shaking body!

A cliff hanger!
