The fire dragon slayer scrunched up his nose in annoyance at the sight of his blonde teammate knocked-out on the bed.

He hated to see Lucy to be this vulnerable and defenseless. In his opinion, although her serene face was an addicting picture, the celestial spirit mage doesn't belong even one bit under this thick blanket that he so very much wanted to burn.

Natsu would rather prefer his cheerful and energetic friend to pound him into oblivion than to see her sick and weak.

"Natsu, what are we doing here?" Happy asked as he munched on some fish he caught earlier.

The pink-head folded his hands on his chest and mouthed his reply soundlessly to Happy.

"Huh? What was that?"

He growled in frustration but nonetheless answered his exceed once again in a small and barely audible voice, "I said, we are to watch over Lucy until she wakes up."

"Why don't you wake her up now?"

"Are you crazy? Erza would kill me if I did." He said with a louder voice.

(Natsu, don't you dare disturb Lucy's sleep. Unless of course... you already miss the feel of my fist on your face?)

"Aww..." The blue-cat threw away the bones of his fish into the trash can before passing by Natsu and onto the window. "I'll be at Wendy's if you need me." He said as he flew away in the sky.

Natsu sighed in defeat at Happy's early exit. His cat was supposed to be here with him to watch over Lucy and now he was left all alone.

Actually, he really shouldn't be complaining with his current situation. It was his entire damn fault that Lucy caught a nasty virus. If he didn't allow her to go out alone on a mission, then maybe he could have protected her and prevented this to happen.

He was such an idiot.

From now on, there will be no more solo missions for Lucy. He would be her partner for the rest of her life and nothing could ever separate them apart.

The blonde stirred slowly and Natsu placed both of his hands on either of her sides – trapping her under him.

"Hey there." He murmured as soon as her eyes opened.

"Hm... Natsu?"

"Yeah. Are you feeling better?" He asked, his body lowering on hers.

"I am. Thanks."

His hands instinctively held her as she attempted to sit up on the bed.

"Hold on." Natsu commanded while he quickly got up from his chair to get her food. He came back right after with a stirring hot chicken soup prepared by Mira.

Lucy was at first reluctant to be fed by Natsu but the man was so insistent that she finally gave in – plus, she had to admit that the feeling of being taken cared of was kind of nice.

"Hey Natsu?"

"Hm?"

"You're awfully sweet today." She chuckled.

His eyes went wide as his cheeks reddened by the comment.

"Am not." He muttered under his breath.

Lucy smiled in amusement at his cute antics.

Being sick wasn't so bad after all.
