We entered the room of Natsu's friend Gray Fullbuster. I was currently yelling at Natsu because he just busted in here and started acting crazy.

"Stop stressing the patient you idiot!" I shouted.

This was the first time I have ever seen Natsu act like this. I heard laughter coming from beside me so I turned to look. There laying in the hospital bed was the dark haired man from before. His hair laid messily upon his head, the color matching his deep blue eyes.

He was currently laying there without a shirt on which made me wonder what happened to it. He was just as chiseled as Natsu. But where Natsu was tanned, Gray had pale skin that went well with his dark hair and eyes. He was still laughing at me and Natsu.

"I like her," He said.

I couldn't help the blush that spread across my features. What is wrong with me. Men have never done this to me before so why is it happening now?

"Hey bastard, she is my nurse!" Natsu defended.

I never would have known that bringing Natsu here would result in this. The fighting along with a busted door.

It was hard to believe that he even had that much strength with all the wounds he had. But then again, he is Salamander of Fairy Tail. Natsu and Gray were yelling back and forth, calling each other every name in the book when Gray started to take off the last bit of clothes he was wearing.

"Stop yelling you two and put your clothes back on!" I barked at them. Natsu flinched and quickly stopped fighting while Gray frantically started to search for his clothes.

Gray managed to find them and put them back on, so this must be why Natsu calls him a stripper. What a weird bunch these two are. Juvia comes in to check on Gray and I could see hearts in her eyes. She was apparently fascinated with Gray.

It was cute watching her interact with him.

"So Juvia have you finished your hours in the ambulance?" I asked.

She nodded. Every nurse has to put in a total of 36 hours in an ambulance.

"Yes Juvia did. The say Gray-sama came in was the last day I needed to be in it." She informed.

"Well then congrats Juvia." I said.

She smiled and thanked me as she continued to check on Gray. Even after she finished, she kept her eyes locked on him. Natsu and Gray were fighting once again as a vein started to pop on my forehead. I was getting annoyed with the constant bickering.

"Natsu, leave Gray the hell alone. Stop picking on each other. You both are still in recovery you dumbass!" I shouted as Natsu shrunk in fear.

Gray started to laugh once more and even I couldn't stifle the giggle that escaped as I watched Natsu.

"I knew I was going to like you. It's nice having another girl around that can put Natsu in his place!" Gray said while laughing and pointing at Natsu.

"It's not like that stripper!" Natsu retorted.

"Juvia has never seen Lucy-san so upset. Maybe she likes Gray-sama too. You must be my love-rival but I will not lose!" Juvia announce as I sweat dropped.

Gray just ignored what she said like it was a normal occurrence.

"Juvia, trust me. I am not your love-rival. There is nothing going on between me and Gray, I just met him anyway." I explained but Juvia was no longer paying attention to me.

"That's right, she isn't your love-rival because she doesn't like Gray," Natsu commented.

"Thanks Natsu," I said.

"She likes me," He announce as I face palmed.

I stood up and walked over to Natsu as he continued yelling obscenities at Gray. I them landed a smack to the back of his head.

"Ow! What was that for Lucy?" He said while rubbing the sore spot.

"Because your going to give people the wrong idea!" I returned.

"You shouldn't abuse your patient like that." He said and I did feel bad for a split second until he threw his arm around my shoulders.

"Natsu, you have ten seconds to remove you arm from around my shoulders. Ten. Nine. Eight..." Natsu immediately withdrew his arm while pouting.

"What happened to the cute and flustered Lucy that I saw today and yesterday This one is mean," He said still pouting.

"W-what, cute? And I was not flustered!" I retorted.

"Oh yes you were. Come on Lucy, why don't we go back to my room and you can take care of my needs." he said with a smirk.

"Pervert!" I said while giving him my Lucy kick and sent him flying into the wall leaving a dent and crack running up it.

"Ow Luce. I'll never leave the hospital if you keep hitting me," He said dusting himself off as he stood up.

"L-Luce?" I question the intimate nickname that he gave me.

"Yeah I think it's cute just like you and I get it now. You don't want me to leave so you'll keep hitting me so I have to stay here."

"I would never do such a thing," I countered.

"Admit it Luce, I'm right. Your gonna miss me when I'm gone aren't you?"

I started to blush once more for the umpteenth time today. I turned to Gray now ready to ignore Natsu and his crazy theories.

"So Gray tell me about yourself?" I asked him.

"Well there's not much to say. My parents died when I was young by the hands of a demon. I was taken in by my teacher Ul and she raised me and taught me everything I know. She even taught me ice make magic. Then she died defending me and then soon after I joined Fairy Tail. The rest is history." He said taking a deep breath.

He was another with a very painful past. Just like Natsu. People dying and leaving him. I don't know how they can be so strong. We talked for awhile and it was starting to get late so I decided it was time to say goodbye.

Natsu sat back down in the wheel chair and I pushed him out of the room. I went to the front desk on the way back to let Levy know that Gray's door needs to be fixed. I walked him back into the room and he stood up and stalked towards the bed.

"Thanks for taking me to see the stripper Luce," He said.

"Your welcome Natsu, just next time, no destroying the hospital while your at it." I added and he nodded.

He sat there and he seemed to be deep in thought as he held his chin in his hand. I couldn't help but wonder what caused this sudden change in mood.

"Is something wrong Natsu?"

"Just a little confused is all." He said as he looked at me but his eyes said that his mind was elsewhere.

He was making the cutest face right now and I couldn't stifle the giggle that came out.

"What?" He asked finally snapping out of his thoughts.

"Oh nothing," I said looking in the other direction.

I would never hear the end of it if I told him that thought that passed through my mind. He would tease me forever if he knew that I thought he was cute.

"So what has you confused?"

"I'm not really sure, when I figure it out I'll let you know."

"Idiot, confused about being confused. How in the world does one manage that?" I whispered to myself thinking of what goes on in the guys head.

"I heard that,"
