Part three for Ship-uary 2023. You know how as a fandom Lucy gets clowned on for being weak like Sakura from Naruto? Well let's say that Natsu feels the same way but is more concerned...


"For fuck sakes Lucy what were you thinking?!" Natsu yells, grabbing onto her shoulders. "Answer me!"

"How else am I gonna afford rent this month?! You were too busy helping anyone else so I had to grow a pair and take on a mission on my own!" Lucy yells back, shoving his hands off her.

Natsu's face twitches with angry but holds his tongue as she continues. "I can defend myself and am capable of taking on a job on my own!"

"But then you come back like this!" He looks her body up and down; she was limping coming into the guild with blood on her face. Bruises on her arms and she's clutching her side. "And expect me to not be at least somewhat upset or worried or concerned? I got Mira to let me lock up so I could wait for you in case you didn't come back tonight. Hell another minute and I would have gone looking for you myself!"

"Why don't you trust me Natsu!"

"Look at yourself! You could have died out there you know!"

Lucy stops arguing with him, this wasn't going anywhere. She didn't want to have to rely on him for everything. She wants Natsu to hang out with other people and help others not just her or their teammates. Her pride was getting in the way as well, not wanting to be seen as weak or useless.

She wants to be insanely strong like Erza or Mirajane. Fight her own battles, make her own money, not be constantly relying on others. "Let's just go home." She says and turns around, slowly making her way to the guild's front doors. 

Natsu let's her walk out on her own, trying to gage how messed up her leg is. Knowing that she walked all the way back like that must have made it worse. There's no way he's letting her walk home. He locks the door and sees that she's already walking ahead.

Catching up to her quickly, he gets beside her, placing a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "What-?" In one motion, Natsu scoops her into his arms and has no intention into putting her down.

"Just let me do this before you get even more hurt." He wasn't done with the argument but agreed that having it in the guild was pointless. Besides, she needs to get patched up. "Please."

She leans her head against his chest and closes her eyes. In this moment she realizes how heavy she's been breathing. "Relax," he says and starts walking, "focus on staying awake until we get home. You must be exhausted."

Lucy's body slowly melts into his warmth, not opening her eyes and does what he asks. When there almost to her apartment, Natsu takes her wrist and feels for her pulse. "What are you doing?" She asks, kinda weirded out by this action.

"Making sure you're alive." He says bluntly, dropping her hand. "You've never noticed me do that before?"

She looks even more confused now, which was his answer. "I've had so many dreams where you would die in front of me but you already know that. But sometimes I don't wake you up so I check you're pulse to see if you're still here with me."

Nothing else was said until they got back. Happy was staying with Wendy and Carla for the night. It would just be them until the morning.

He sits her down on the bed and heads into the bathroom to get supplies. "Hold still, alright?" He holds out his hand, she takes it. Starting with rubbing alcohol, "holy shit!" She screams and squeezes his hand tight.

"I'm sorry." Natsu says softly and looks at her side, there was a huge gash covering it. "A little more and it'll be over." He whispers and looks at her. She's clearly in pain but feels a bit guilty.

After awhile Natsu cleaned everything up while Lucy laid in her bed staring out the window. He climbs in and gets steeled on the other side. "You alright?"

"...no." She whispers, "I thought that I could prove to myself that I could do jobs on my own, without anyone having to protect me. Clearly that wasn't the case. And I hurt you in the process so I'm sorry."

Natsu moves closer to her, planting a kiss on her forehead. "I shouldn't have yelled at you and for that I'm sorry. Really." She wraps her arms around him, getting closer to him.

"You were just worried and that turned into anger. Trust me I know how you are." He wanted to hold her but couldn't because of her wound on her side. He lays on his back, almost shoving her off the bed. She gets the message and lays on top of him, her head resting over his heart.

"I love you Lucy." He reminds her, "please, don't ever haunt me."


Listen, edgy music carried me through this. I blame three days grace and mcr for this.
