Erza's POV

"He's back." Levy stated as she walked out of her kitchen.

She placed a plate of cookies on the table.

"I heard." I replied.

I need to knock some sense in him. This guy's slowly killing Lucy.

"Lucy's in the hospital." She informed sadly.

"Let's go." Juvia said bluntly.

Apparently, I thought when Natsu would arrive we'd all be happy, but the exact opposite is happening.

Everyone is currently feeling low because of Lucy's sickness.

I do believe that Natsu can make it all better, I still support them secretly but at this point, Lucy might break, I'm loosing hope.

Prove me wrong Natsu... Please...

I pleaded in my head as I drove to the Hospital.

--

Natsu sat on a chair beside Lucy kissing and stroking her hand, hoping that she would awaken.

He's been chanting 'I'm so so sorry' for the past few minutes as his eyes were gazed on Lucy's face.

I leaned on the wall worrying about both of them.

Minutes later Loke arrived and Natsu left the chair beside Lucy. He respected Loke and Lucy's relationship so he stood next to me.

"Nastu." I whispered and layed my hand on his shoulder.

He didn't say a word but he faced me, with eyes full of fear and sadness. I pity him, I pity their relationship, it was all a misunderstanding but it just went too far.

"I need to talk to you." I told him.

He nodded and we left the room, out to the hallway.

"I'm going to help you." I stated.

"Help me do what? No one can help me at this state. My life has been so fucked up since that stupid fight about Lissana." He cracked.

He tilted his head downward, blocking my sight of his onyx eyes.

"Look Natsu, I know your the cause of Lucy's stress but--" He cut me off.

"but there's nothing I can do. I might as well just leave her be, all I do is hurt her." He mourned. His voice was full of despair.

"Let me finish, damn it!" I raised my tone a little.

"You're the cause of Lucy's stress but, I do belive you're the only cure to make her happy again." I informed him.

"That's insane. Everytime she sees me, she looks at me like I'm a black cat on the street! Can't you see that? She needs to avoid me." Natsu leaned on the wall and looked at the ceiling. I could tell he was hurt that because he couldn't go near Lucy anymore.

"Natsu, think about it. Why do you think Lucy is hurting when she sees you?" I asked him.

He didn't reply, he sighed and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's because SHE STILL LOVES YOU! Get that through your thick dense skull!" I yelled.

A tear fell on his right cheek.

"I'm just going to make things worst Erza, at this state Lucy might stay in the hospital more often that usual."

"Natsu you are the only person who can make her happy, trust me I know. She might go under a bit confusion with her feelings but it will all be worth it." I smiled at him.

"Show her you still love her and you want her back." I continued.

"I'll try, but I don't get her, she makes my head spin sometimes." He said.

I literally faced-palmed myself.
How stupid can he get?

"Don't get what?" I asked.

"I thought she was engaged and now she's with Loke? Explaination please?" He sighed crossing his arms over his broad chest.

"Seriously, it's like she's dating everyone but me." He complained.

"She broke up with Zeref, because she loved you but little did she know that you left for Paris the next day. She gave Loke a chance since she thought you didn't care about her anymore." I informed.

"WOW. I don't care? That's what she thought?! I fucking burried her engagement ring when I thought she chose Zeref. I burried it along with my sorrows and she thinks that I, Nastu fucking Dragneel doesn't care about her? I could just hammer a fucking placard on my forehead saying 'I only love Lucy and I'd do anything for her' to make it goddamn obvious for her. I can't even go a day without thinking about her!"       He looked very annoyed about what I said, he started gesturing his hands like he was a sissy girl, complaining about everything.

"Yeah but she doesn't know that." I mentally smirked thinking that I'm always right.

He then gave ma a 'touchè' face sadly agreeing.

Then it dawned on me.

Engagement ring? Those words played like a a broken record in my head.

"Wait! Hold on. You bought her an engagement ring?!" I squealed.

"Pipe down. Yes I bought an engagement ring plus that was during highschool." He shushed me down but I couldn't take the cuteness.

"KAWAAAAIIIII!!!" I squealed.

Natsu suddenly grinned at someone behind me.

Natsu suddenly gave a small devilish smirk, he put his hands on my shoulder and turned me, then I figured why he gave me that goofy smirk.

Jellal was behind me the whole time.

I blushed hard thinking about my embarrassing squeals. We were so close, he leaned down to see a clear view of my red pulpy face.

I noticed that Natsu walked back to Lucy's room giving me another smirk.

That imbicile! He didn't even tell me.

"Be patient. We'll get married soon." He chuckled and kissed my forehead.

I nodded in embarrassment. He held out his hand, waiting for me to hold it.

Without hesitation I took it and he pulled me close, crashing his lips on mine.
