Hey! Just a heads up. There will be a little bit of swearing in this chapter.
Lucy.
Gray was watching over Lucy when she woke up. Luckily he was wearing clothes. "Hey Lucy! How you doing?"
"I'm fine."
She was on her fourth day of being in bed containment. She was only allowed to get up to go to the bathroom. During all this time, Natsu had yet to see her.
"Hey Gray, can I ask you something?"
Gray's eyes widened in surprise but stated, "Sure, what is it?"
Lucy sighed and looked at Gray. "Is Natsu mad at me?"
Gray grew angry all of a sudden. "No Lucy, you did nothing wrong. He is just being stupid."
Lucy looked down at the guild mark on her hand. She got it because Natsu had taken her to fairy tail. "Even so, why is he avoiding me? I miss him."
Suddenly Lucy blushed. She did not mean it in that way. Or maybe she did, but she did not want to tell anyone about it. Luckily, Gray was so mad at Natsu he was not paying attention to her.
At that moment, Mira came in. "My turn!" her lovely voice sang.
"Bye Gray," Lucy called but he stormed out of the room and slammed the door.
Mira's eyes widened and looked at Lucy questioning. "I just mentioned Natsu and he instantly got angry."
Mira tried to say that it was something the boyes usually do but she could not look in Lucy's eyes. 'What are they keeping from me?' Lucy wondered.
Natsu.
"Come on Natsu! We need to pay for fish somehow!" Happy urged, but it was no use.
Natsu had not left the house since the day of the accident. Happy let everyone know that they were ok but to not come to their house. Natsu had to sort out his mind for a while.
Suddenly, Gray burst through the door. An icy chill went over the usually hot house. "Get up you lazy ass hole!"
Natsu just groaned and stayed in his hammock. Gray growled and hit him with a pat made of ice. "Get up! Lucy is waiting for you!" Gray shouted.
Lucy's name caught his attention. "She doesn't want to see me."
"She has been waiting all week for you! And the rest of the guild is worried. Get up flame brain!" Gray growled and kicked him.
To Gray's surprise, Natsu started to cry. He suddenly felt sorry for the broken man. "How can I face her Gray? After what I did to her…" Natsu's voice cracked.
"Natsu, she doesn't care. I think you not seeing her hurts her more than anything."
Natsu sat up and looked at his feet. He did not want to hurt her any more than he already had but how could he see her? If anyone did that to his Lucy, he would have killed them.
"….Ok, let's go."
"Not when you smell like that!"
And Gray pushed him toward the shower.
