Chapter 38

Subtle Hints

"Here Lucy I'll get that for you."

Natsu ran up and grabbed the box out of Lucy's hands, favoring her with a cheerful smile.

"Um, thanks Natsu." Lucy gave him with a suspicious look. "Why aren't you wearing a shirt?"

"Ah, no reason. It's really hot out and when it's hot out men take off their shirts right?"

Without another word Natsu moved off towards the bar to deliver the box of napkins Mira had asked for.

"He's hot?" Lucy asked Happy, thoroughly confused. "But he eats fire. Is he sick or something?"

Happy just shrugged and snickered to himself.
