Chapter twenty-two

Start from the beginning
                                    

Natsu: " Nani?"

Levy: " You will act weird until you well you know but it's not with just someone. It's with your soul mate."

Natsu: "Soul mate?"

Levy: " Yeah."

Natsu: "I don't know if I have one."

Levy: " Well since mating season is near you'll find her. Every dragon slayer will find their match."

Natsu: "How?"

Levy: "Well they'll flirt with their mate. They'll be over protective. They'll hormones will go off the roof."

All of that will happen? Wait wasn't I flirting with Lucy yesterday!? I thought to myself then snapped out of it.

Natsu: "But can we be like that with just anyone?"

I need to know.

Levy: "Nope, only with the one~."

Lucy is "the one" for me?? I thought.

Natsu: " What happens if our mates don't like us back?"

Levy: " Then you'll get ill of loneliness and have a slow lonely death."

Natsu: "Geesh thanks to break it to me to nicely."

~~~~end of flashback~~~~

What I'm doing isn't right...Lucy is just pretending to be my girlfriend. This whole relationship is fake. She doesn't feel the same way...but even if what Levy was true...even if I were to get ill and die...I want it to be near her. I thought to myself as I stared down at my empty plate.

Mirajane: "Hey Natsu."

Natsu: "Nani?"

I turn around and look over at the white haired woman.

Mirajane: "How's Lucy doing?"

Natsu: "I'm not really sure, I haven't heard from her."

Mirajane: "I'm getting worried now, maybe you should check up on her."

Natsu: "Yeah, I'm sick of waiting. I'm going to see if she's doing alright."

I state as I get up and hit my fist on the table. I wasn't just going to sit there and do nothing. I had to know how she was feeling.

Mirajane: "I hope she gets better."

Natsu: "Thanks."

Is the last thing I say before marching out of the guild. Walking to Lucy's place I can't help but feel worried. Fastening my pace by each step I take I end up running to her apartment. Seeing the open window not far away I quickly climb up and enter her room.

Turning my gaze, following her sweet scent of vanilla my eyes fall onto a huge lump of blankets. Walking towards the lump I gently pull off each layer one by one until I finally get a glimpse of the blonde. Her smooth skin was covered with sweat drops, coughing could be heard coming out of her lips.

Natsu: "Luce..?"

I say her name as I placed the back of my hand on her forehead. She was burning, her fever was one of the worst I've seen. When she said she was sick she meant it. Walking away to her kitchen I open up the freezer and grab a couple of ice packs. Sitting up the sick, sleepy, Lucy I place them both on her head and place a thermometer in between her lips, into her mouth.

My hands weren't crazy. She definitely was burning. Going back into the kitchen I grab a cook book she had laying nearby and look for a soup recipe. Once I find one I look for the ingredients and follow instructions for once in my life.

- 15 minutes later -

Natsu: "Lucy, this will make you feel better."

I say as I walk towards her the bowl of soup in my hands. Placing the bowl into her night stand, I place my hand on her shoulder and try to wake her up. She seemed to tired and sick to even open her eyes. Sighing I decide to feed the ill blonde the soup.

Natsu: "I understand you're sick but you better drink this up after all the hard work I did or I swear Lucy Heartfilia...Happy and I will dress up with your favorite clothes and do that play you hate again. "

I slowly feed her and she reacts a bit. Drinking it but still not speaking or opening her eyes. That whole day I spent it taking care of Luce. She was defenseless and needed me.

The blanket of stars were now pushing away the sun and taking over. I took a quick shower and was now drying my hair with a towel as I walked towards Lucy's bed. She seemed better then before. Yes, she's been resting all day long but right now it was calmer. Her temperature went down and the coughing could no longer be heard.

Natsu: "I'm glad you're feeling better."

I say with a small smile. Slowly turning away to walk over to the living room something unexpected then happened. A warm hand latched itself onto my right wrist.

Lucy: "Don't go..."

I heard Lucy's soft voice say to me in a begging and weak tone. Turning my gaze back I notice her still with her eyes closed. My smile reappeared as I took a seat on the edge of the bed, watching Lucy sleep while holding my wrist.

This touch...her touch...it's all I want. I thought as I gently pushed a couple of strands of hair away from her face. The moonlight passed through the window and shined a light on her beautiful complexion. Leaning down I couldn't hold myself back anymore... Placing a kiss on her head I now knew that I'd rather die by her side.
