Chapter 20

Limp Eyes

After spitting out a rose petal Lucy stared up at Natsu in total confusion. Not the response he had been hoping for.

"What are these?" She asked gesturing to the slightly mangled bouquet.

"They're flowers. I-I found them."

"You found them?" Lucy replied incredulously.

"Ya and I decided to give them to you because…because," Natsu struggled to remember what Loki had told him to say, "they remind me of your limp brown eyes."

"Excuse me?" Lucy's cheeks were turning red and not a good red. "What about my eyes?"

Natsu floundered for a moment.

"You have big eyes…like an alien."
