Konnichiwa minna! That's "hello" in Japanese if some of you didn't understand. Here's a new update for you. I was thinking the story has been too… plain for the past few chapters. For my new arc I will be introducing a new character who will test the bond between Natsu and Lucy. I hope you like her. ;)

"Don't ever leave me, Natsu Dragneel!" she cried as she looked up to him with teary eyes. Natsu couldn't bear the sight of this, it was tearing him up inside to see her like this; she looked broken. "E – Even if we g-get into fights and say things we really don't mean, p-please don't leave me, s-stay by my side"

Natsu held her tightly as he whispered back, "I'll never leave you, Lucy Heartfilia"

oxoxoxox

"Why haven't you returned my calls or text me!? Do you have any idea how worried I was?" Lucy yelled at the terrified Natsu who was trying his best not to grab a chair to shield him against his girlfriend's rage. Damn she's scary when she's mad! And this is the same woman who was crying in my arms a few moments ago? I see why she made me promise not to leave her if they quarrel; she had this planned out for him.

A quick stop to the bathroom and the blonde was freshed, renewed and ready to blow her boyfriend's head right the fuck off. She had some good damn questions for him. She decided to drag him into one of the extra rooms in the hospital where she could deal with him privately. She didn't want her business to be exposed in front of all the patients and visitors.

"I said I'm sorry! I was stuck dealing with Erza for the whole week because I missed out on the party for Jellal. How many times do you want me to apologize?!"

"And what have you been doing with this Erza that was so important for you not to contact me, huh?!" the blonde put her hands on her hips and leaned closer to him with a frown on her face. She wasn't going to let him dodge the question. She would get answers, if not willingly she would resort to drastic measures that she would have you guys look at her differently, but she'll do them off screen for the children.

"Well…" he dragged the 'L' and thought back on what had happened for the week.

The minute he met with Gray and the fearsome red-haired demon known as Erza Scarlet, the two men were immediately scolded for not attending Jellal's surprise party. She had told them over and over again how important it was for everyone to be there. She wanted Jellal to feel welcomed when he came back and so with everyone being there, he'd see that he was missed dearly. If she had called the two earlier that day, maybe they would've made it, but instead she yelled, and I quote:

They were WHORING around with a bunch of sluts and let time slip by them! But personally, Natsu was thankful that he didn't go. He would've never have met Lucy that night – and he also wouldn't be in this situation with Erza but Lucy was worth it, she was so worth it! It's not like this is his first time getting lectured by her, he accustomed to her yells, somewhat.

Anyway, he and Gray had to had to spend some quality time with Jellal; worst week of his life since he was stuck with men. Going to the club with him, going for a drive to even worse cases; going on dates with him and Gray. Do you have any idea how horrible it was for him? That even sounds wrong; Natsu going on a date with men. Made him cringe just thinking about it.

Of course he received Lucy's texts and calls. He was about to respond back to her until Erza noticed he was getting distracted on his cell phone and took it away from him. She complained about him getting distracted when he should be focusing on hanging out with the guys, promising to return his phone when the week was over. What is he… sixteen years old? A grown man getting his phone taken away from him like that; how shameful.

"I was forced to go on a date with a…friend, okay? I've had my phone on silent during those dates"

"Haahh? It wasn't just a date, it was dates? And with a friend you say," she sounded irritated.

He swallowed hard. His throat felt unbearably dry all of a sudden, but a cool line of sweat began to descend down his face. Damn this woman's way of thinking! She's too smart for her own good.

"Can I get the name of your 'date' who was more important to you than not returning my calls?"

"Luce, please…you're acting cantankerous"

"Can you really call it 'acting'? And did your date also teach you that word?" she raises a small, yet firm fist to his chin as she leans closer to him. Natsu would open his arms to her and squeeze her body tightly to his – what with her being this close to him – but she's mad, possibly pissed at the moment. He'll try again some other time when the opportunity presents itself again.

"Well, I…we…" he couldn't find the right words to say to her. She was giving him a look. A look that was telling him, 'I'm gonna punch you square in the jaw if don't give me the answer I was expecting', and that really wasn't making him want to talk. Not at all.

"Well? I'm waiting for your response…I want a name"

"Jellal…?" he answered unsurely.

And like that, her face immediately brightened, the familiar beautiful smile came to surface and she lowered her fist. His features shifted to relief and he let out a chocked sigh he didn't even know he was holding in.

"You mean the man Mira-san said was released from prison last week? That's so sweet of you to hang out with him…you're such a good friend" she gives him a quick peck on the cheek. It's amazing how fat her personality changes within a matter of seconds. One moment she's crying, then highly upset, now she's happy. She's really bipolar, maybe even tripolar. It's possible.

"Yeah, well, Erza made me and the exhibitionist take him out since we weren't there at the party" he scratched his salmon hair awkwardly.

"Well I'm just glad you went out with one of your guy friends"

Natsu blinked. His ears perked up at hearing the last part of her sentence. "Don't tell me, you were jealous?" A sly smirk formed on his lips when she flushed a bashful red, but his smirk seemed sad. Her words came out rushed and stuttered. "Oh, so Ms. Heartfilia was jealous" he teased.

"O-Of course not baka! I was j-just – HIEE! N-Natsu?! What're you doing? Put me down!" she yelled, shrieked as she was forcibly heaved over his shoulder and was carried to an empty bed. She's suddenly dropped on the neatly made sheets. A soft squeal is heard from her. She just remembered she had to keep her voice down – a little too late for that. When she opened her eyes, she came face-to-face with her boyfriend, who was above her on all fours. She gulped when he glared at her, he had a look of concentration that sent shivers down her spine. She wasn't accustomed to seeing him like this…at least not towards her. Maybe what she said had struck a chord in him.

"You have no faith in me," his words felt like cold water. She flinched at the way he thought of her. You couldn't really call it 'having no faith', more like 'having some doubts.' Just a little.

"No, Natsu I –"

"You what?" he cuts her off. "You thought I was with another woman for the past week? That I was cheating on you?" Lucy looks away in shame, not being able to bare the sight of Natsu's sad and hurtful face. She felt disappointed in herself for thinking that way. He wouldn't leave her just like that without an explanation; he was different now. She knew he wouldn't do that to her, but still she had her doubts.

"I'm sorry," she whimpered softly, still averting her gaze from his face. "Please…forgive me" she desperately begs as she holds back her tears. Not the crying again, she thought.

"She hears a rough sigh before he says, "Luce, look at me"

She doesn't look.

"Lucy" He cups her face and turns her head towards him until he can see her deep brown eyes staring into his black ones. "I will never, for as long as I'm breathing, think about touching any other woman but you. Do you understand what I'm saying to you" his voice sounded so serious, almost as if he was making a promise, a vow.

Though weakly, she answered, "To be honest, I really don't know. How do I know you're not just playing with me? I-…I'm not even sure if you're serious about us or if you have feelings for me."

"Then why don't I show you" he mumbled almost inaudibly but she still heard it. Before she can question him on what he meant, he savagely claimed her beautiful swollen lips. No, she wasn't expecting this, but she closes her eyes and humble accepted it anyway. He would never get tired of feeling her skin against his, of her divine taste. But this wasn't enough. No…he needed to do much more.

Lucy's eyes widened when his hand trailed up her thighs, pushing her uniform, (A/N: Cause she's in her nurse outfit), up to her waist. When she gasped, he slid his tongue between her parted lips, quickly finding hers. On contact she trembled from the foreign sensation, finding the feel of his tongue to be pleasant. He swirled his tongue with hers, forcing them to engage in a fight for dominance as Natsu explored the depths of her mouth.

Lucy felt it. This kiss was full of urgency and possessiveness. He was trying to express all the powerful emotions he felt for her and she was determined to grasp those feelings, capture them.

"Mmmhmmm!" a possible muffled scream was swallowed by Natsu when she felt his hands on her, roughly palming the curves of her bottom, shoving her pelvic into his. She blushed madly at how 'excited' he had gotten and gently pushed him away to stop him from going any further.

"That's…e-enough" she panted as she tried to steady her breathing. "We can't do this kind of thing here" Her pleas fall on deaf ears. He didn't care where they were. If a few patients were just laying peacefully next door, completely unaware of what the couple were doing. The woman laying below him was the only thing that mattered to him right now, and he dams sure wasn't stopping. He went back to nibbling gently on her neck, making sure his canine teeth didn't pierce her tender skin.

"Na-…-tsu," she moaned, her cheeks turned crimson.

He was sucking on a very sensitive part of her neck that had her writhing beneath him with need. "Natsu, stop it, we're in a hospital" Her mind was going hazy. All logical thoughts were rapidly fading. She hadn't even realized when he rested his hand on her knees, guiding her legs to her chest so he could spread her wide enough to properly seat himself between her legs. He groaned low after hearing a blissful sigh from her, then rasped against her lips, "I – I can't hold myself back anymore. I want you,"

They fluttered open, the eyes she hadn't known were shut tight. Her heart was beating harshly in her chest at what he said and her breaths came out in short pants. For some reason the feeling of embarrassment washed over her like a wave as he stared, his eyes dark and hungry. In fact, his gaze made her tremble, made her…happy. She only became further self-conscious when she noticed the shameful position they were in; her left leg practically thrown over his shoulder, his hand on her ass to pull her against him, her dress bunched up to her waist…and exposing her panties!

"Lucy" He sighed on a breath. He was also panting heavily and sweating like he just ran a marathon. The way he said her name had her heart beating faster, if that was even possible. She could hear the need and lust in his voice. And boy, she would be lying if she said she didn't enjoy listening to it.

"Natsu, I – "

I want you too…

All of you…

I want to get closer to you…

"Ah…! Natsu, wait"

He pushes away from her quivering body and without warning, his hand is there between her legs, touching her, teasing her with skillful fingers.

"I…said…WAIT!" she screams sensually. He couldn't wait. He wasn't going to. Once Natsu started touching her, he became animalistic, a strange need to claim her arose in him and he lost all control. He couldn't stop himself…even if he wanted to.

Warning ends.

And then the unexpected happens…

Thwacks!

Natsu fell on top of Lucy, his face buried in her chest and his body went limp. A high scream is heard, but it wasn't from Lucy. Her brown eyes stared at the petite woman holding an empty metal tray – used for carrying medical utensils and medicines – with shaky hands and a shocked expression on her sweet face.

"Natsu?!" she gasped.

"Levy-can?"

"Lu-chan?"

I'm back! Well, mostly back and I feel rejuvenated baby! I'm doing much better you guys, and I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. I may have gotten a bit carried on the love scene, ne!?
