A/N: So sorry about the incredibly late edit! Really I am very sorry! I am already working on the next chapter so it shouldn't be too much longer. Word count is 1,234. Please let me know what you think! Thanks so much, Angel.
It's been two days since Gray awoke. And I stopped taking Natsu to see him. Each time he visits some sort of damage occurs to the room. First was the door, then they busted the window, smashed two different heart monitors, and even the bed that Gray was laying on. Erza was furious and she really 'talked' to them. I don't fully know what happened because she forced me to leave the room but when I came back they were trembling.
Erza could really be scary when she wanted to be. I still couldn't get over the idea that all my friends here are from Fairy Tail. And they really live up to the reputation the Fairy Tail has. I feel like Natsu and I have gotten really close and I enjoy the time I spend with him. Even when he is teasing me. My heels clicked as I walked down the hall and sent greetings as I pass. I approach the main desk and saw that Levy was currently sitting there filling out some paperwork.
"Hey Levy," I greeted as she lifted her head and smiled at me. Her and I have a lot in common and we get along really well.
"Hey Lucy, how is Natsu?" She asked, flipping over the paper she had in her hand to read the back.
"He is good. Healing really quickly." I grabbed my stack of papers the informed me of the patients that I had to check up on today. "What about Gajeel? How is he?"
"He is the same as Natsu," she said. I giggled slightly knowing how Levy felt for the dark haired man. She narrowed her eyes at me.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing, just thinking about how cute you and Gajeel are together," I teased. Her face turned crimson and she immediately started to deny her feelings but the look on her face gave her away. "I have to go and check on Natsu now, see ya."
She waved to me and continued her work as I made my way to the pinkette's room. The door creaked as it opened and I could hear the light snores that came from Natsu. Smiling, I grabbed his chart and glanced over it. He needed the doctor to come in today and look over his wounds to make sure they are healing properly. He was off his IV so there was no need to check that. I watched his toned chest rise and fall with every breath that he took. He made a whimpering sound that reminded me of a dog as his face scrunched up then quickly returned to normal.
He was just too cute for his own good. I drifted off into my thoughts as I watched him, yet not really seeing him. He can be such a sweet guy and it's obvious that he is close to each of his friends and cares for them deeply. He is an all around great guy and I wondered once more if there was a special girl somewhere waiting for him.
"You know it's rude to stare," I jolted at the sound of Natsu's smooth voice. His eyes were now open and looking straight at me. How long has he been awake for? How long was I staring? "I don't mind if it's you though."
"How are you feeling today Natsu?" I asked as a small blush formed across my cheeks. I checked his temperature to make sure that he wasn't running a fever as I waited for his answer.
"Great now that your here." he winked and the blush deepened. This man just didn't know when to quite. But even still, I kind of like the attention he gives me. I'll never admit that out loud but still, I can't lie to myself about it. His deep onyx eyes captivated me, each time he looked at me. His smell drove me crazy. His husky voice sent chills down my spine and his touch ignited something inside me that I never knew existed.
"Aren't you a romantic," I said sarcastically. I always get flustered when he says things like that and I have a hard time responding so most of the time I just use sarcasm.
"I am when it comes to you."
I just giggled. I had nothing that I could say back to him. I marked his temperature down on his chart then checked his blood pressure. Everything seemed fine, like always.
"Lucy," I glanced in his direction. The look he was giving me froze me on the spot. What was that look in his eyes? I have never seen it before. My body suddenly felt like it was on fire, every nerve heating and yearning to go to him.
"I'm hungry," my right eye twitched. All the fire I previously felt washed away. The look in his eyes was all because he was hungry? How disappointing.
"Lunch isn't for a few more hours Natsu. Didn't you eat breakfast?"
"Yeah but it wasn't enough." He whined. Crap. He is giving me the puppy dog pout. I can't say no to that.
"I'll figure out something just give me a minute."
His smile quickly returned to his face and I spun on my heal and walked out. Closing the door behind me, I ran and hand through my hair. This guy is driving me nuts, and he is not even doing it on purpose. I could still feel the heat on my cheeks from his earlier comments. Now what? He completely had me fooled with that look in his eyes.
"Lucy?" I turned to see Mirajane standing a few feet away with a knowing look in her dazzling blue eyes.
"Oh hey Mirajane." She took a step closer as a small smile appeared on her face.
"Is something wrong?~" she said in a sing song voice I shook my head but she rose an eyebrow at me. Why did she have to see me? I didn't want to deal with her teasing as well.
"Oh maybe it's a certain pink haired main laying in the room right behind you," he smile grew as she spoke. I rolled my eyes knowing that nothing I could say would make her think differently and I'll never admit these confusing emotions that I have been feeling lately. They would probably misunderstand.
"What are you doing Mirajane?"
"Don't try and change the subject. So are you two dating yet?" The bluntness of her words shocked me.
"N-no Mirajane! It's nothing like that! Natsu and I are just friends!" As the words left my mouth, the door behind me crept open. A warm hand that felt rough yet nice, grabbed hold of my waist and pulled me into the chest of the very man that we were talking about.
"No need to lie, my dearest Lucy. We shouldn't keep our love for one another a secret." My face exploded with heat as I used my elbow to nudge him in the ribs. His hand withdrew, and he grabbed his side.
"AW! You two are soooo cute!" Mirajane cued. Why does this keep happening to me?
"Lucy your so mean! Why do you treat your boyfriend so badly?"
"Your not my boyfriend!"
