Lucy had been staring at Happy ever since Natsu had gotten to the Guild, and it was starting to annoy him. That cat hadn't done anything, so why is Lucy acting like he has?

Lucy began walking to the table, which Natsu, Erza, Happy, and Gray were sat at. She put her hands down on the table, which made Happy hide behind Natsu.

"Why did you say all of that stuff to Happy yesterday?" Natsu asked.

"Because I don't like him, and I don't like you either." Lucy explained. 

"I don't know how I have put up with you two for this long."

"If you don't like me, then why are you here?"

"Shut up." She mumbled and walked off. 

"What was that all about?" Erza was the first to speak. 

Natsu didn't seem to be listening and was instead, daydreaming. He also had sweat on his forehead which was unusual as he never overheats due to his magic. After a few seconds, he ran out of the Guild, falling to the ground once he was outside. 

Time seemed to freeze for a while. Everything around him was frozen. The only thing he could focus on was on how deep and fast his breaths were. He clutched at his chest and felt tears threatening to spill. 

The Guild doors sounded like they had opened again, and he turned around, seeing a figure standing in front of him, knowing it was Erza by the red hair. 

She sat down in front of him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Focus on getting your breath back." She said in a gentle tone. "It's going to be okay."

Natsu took a long, deep breath, and his breathing started to slow down a little bit and time felt like it was moving again. He wiped his tears away and he put his head in his hands. He felt so embarrassed. 

"Do you experience anxiety?" The Titania asked. 

Natsu took his head out of his hands and nodded. 

"I'm always here if you ever need someone to talk to." She told him. "Go home, get some rest."

"Thank you." 

Natsu watched as she went back into the Guild. He started heading home and once he arrived, he got into the shower. 

'𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒖𝒑 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈.'

Natsu knew he was a waste of space, but for some reason, it hurt hearing Lucy basically tell him that. Erza could have been doing other things, but she had to put up with Natsu's emotions. 

Natsu got out of the shower and went into his bedroom, getting into his bed. It was only 4pm, but he was extremely tired. When he was almost about to fall asleep, he heard the door open. 

"I'm sleeping, go away." Natsu mumbled. 

"Okay." He heard Happy's quiet voice reply followed by the sound of the door shutting. He wanted to ask what was wrong, but he fell asleep before he had the chance to.
