Lucy rubs at her head as we meld into the crowd. Juvia and Grey immediately start dancing. Lucy and I might have a great relationship but Juvia and Grey make everyone around them clear the floor. Part from people just wanting to admire them and partly because who wants to dance next to people like Juvia and Grey? There's just no way to look good next to them.

"We're gonna come over this way." I lead Lucy a few steps into the crowd and leave Juvia and Grey to their spotlight.

"definitely." Lucy agrees, she rubs at her head again.

"You okay?" I ask her.

She nods. "mmhhmm." She wraps her arms around my neck and starts to sway "completely okay."

"Are you sure?" I ask again.

"Yep, one hundred percent I'm okay." She says but her eyes are tight.

"Lucy..." I say.

"Fine..." she sighs "It's just a little baby headache." She smiles at me and the smile is genuine "It's nothing, really."

"You're sure, because we can go outside or I can go grab some Advil or something." I sway with her, her smile softens.

"I took some already, I'm just waiting for it to kick in." She rests her head on my chest. "Everything is okay." She says, "I promise."

She sways completely out of tune with the music. She rubs her forehead against my shoulder and her hands tighten around my neck.

"You're not singing." I note.

"just..." she trails off "just enjoying... time... you." She says. I must have missed some words, the music is loud.

"head ache gone yet?" I ask pulling her more tightly against me. I feel her head nodding against my chest.

"Good, I'm glad... I'd hate for you to be sick on our honey moon." I joke with her. she chuckles and kiss the top of her head.

Time passes in a strange way with Lucy. It's lie time isn't passing and it's like spending a beautiful lifetime with her. She leans heavily into me, she' practically hanging on me now. She gave up on dancing a little bit ago.

"Tired?" I ask her.

"Um... I..." she trails off again. she's usually a little more coherent but she had a headache before too.

"Sit." She say "I need to sit." She hangs on me.

"What's wrong?" I as pulling her against my side as I lead her toward the door.

"My head." her face is contorted into a mas of pain, her hand buried in her hair.

"I thought you said it was better." I help her outside and sit her on the curb. She grabs her head and drops it into her lap.

"I'm sorry." She pants "I'm so sorry, I—" she winces and curls into a ball.

"No, Lucy." I sit beside her "it's okay."

"my head." she whimpers leaning into me.

"Here, I'll get us am Uber home." I take my phone out and open app.

"No, no—" She winces again, her fingers pressing into her head so hard they're turning white.

"hospital." She pants "hospital now."

"Do you want an ambulance?" I rub circles into her back.

"Uber is fine." She forces out.

"Are you sure?" I ask her. She nods and whimpers. I search for the nearest hospital. Lucy is trembling in my hands.
