Natsu pulled himself up onto the balcony. He breathed out, running over there and climbing was definitely something he hadn't gotten used to.
Once he stood up straight he walked over to the screen door, opening it." You never did lock these. "he stated, looking at the door up and down, closing it as he walked in." Still in bed? "his feet dragged over to the round bed, seeing Lucy laying on it. Her thin blanket shaping her form.
His hand grazed her skin as he pushed some hair from her face." warm. "he placed his hand on her forehead.
" mmmh? "she moaned as she opened her eyes." Na-tsu? "
His voice stayed sealed as he pulled his hand back. She sat up, rubbing her eye.
" Lay back down, you have a small fever. "he stated.
" I slept enough... "she yawned, stretching her arms out.
" Luce, lay back down. "
" Why? "she scratched her head, making her hair messy.
" You're sick, you need to rest. "
" Why are you here if I'm sick? "
" I came to see you, why else? Now will you lay down? "
" No. "she shook her head. Natsu jumped on her, knocking her back on the mattress. He grabbed onto her wrist as her legs kicked at him.
" Luce, stop acting like a child. "he huffed holding her down. Her free hand grabbed onto his jacket.
" You're hurting me. "she looked at her wrist. He slowly let go.
" Let me see if I bruised it-"
" No! "Lucy held her own wrist.
He sighed, taking a glance as her end table to see her school bag lazily put on it." Make sure to get some sleep. "he pulled away but Lucy stopped him, grabbing onto the back of his hand.
" I'm sorry, I'm just a bit irritated in being in bed all day. Please stay. "she spoke softly as she felt the warmth from his hand calming her.
" You're red again. "he chuckled lightly.
" I-I'm sick, of course I am. "she looked down.
" You weren't like that before. "he stated.
" Why do you tease me like this? "she brought up her hands to her face. As her hand left his hand grabbed it back.
" Because it's fun. "he smirked at her.
" You're horrible. "she pouted.
" if that horrible I can leave. "he turned, facing away from Lucy. In mere seconds he was knocked over, his back against the bed with Lucy on his chest." You really want me to stay that bad, don't you? "he put a hand on her head as she nodded, her face hidden in his shirt.
Natsu pushed himself up, sitting as Lucy dug her face in his neck." Luce, are you ok? "he asked, wrapping an arm around her waist.
" What do you mean? "she questioned in his shoulder.
" You had always clung to me for comfort when you were upset. "
" I didn't see you when I woke... "
" You didn't ask me to. "
" I know, but I was a bit disappointed. "
" I'll stay, if that's what you want. "he looked at Lucy, her head nodded, rubbing against his shoulder." You look tired, sleep. I'll be here. "
