Natsu Dragneel Lemon: I've Been Searching For You

Together forever

*At the Hospital*

Natsu's Prov.

Athe lay in the hospital bed hurt. 'Dammit I couldn't protect her. She's injured all of that pain she suffered just so that I wouldn't have to. Dammit Athe why wouldn't you tell me anything.' I grabbed her hand. My head dropped down to the bed by her arm. 'I can't lose her again. Not again, please don't go.' Suddenly I felt a hand on my head gently brushing my hair. 

My head snapped up, and I saw Athe's smiling at me. Tears stung my eyes. 'She's okay!' 

Athena's Prov. 

My body hurt, and my head was pounding. Slowly I woke up to find myself in some sort of infirmary. Looking around I saw Natsu. He seemed to be crying, his shoulders were heaving up and down, and he was shaking. Slowly I picked up my hand and laid it on his head tentatively rubbing and stroking his hair. "Athe you're okay!?" Natsu's head snapped up once he felt my touch. "Yes Natsu, I am okay." I replied smiling at him, my hand dropped down to his face whipping his cheeks of the the tears that strayed form his eyes. 

"Don't cry Natsu." I said rubbing his cheek and placing my hand under his chin lifting up his head. "I thought I lost you again. Don't ever do something that reckless again do you hear me!" Natsu chocked grabbing my hand, iterally putting it in a death grip. I laughed "This is coming form the hot headed dragon slayer who never thought about his actions." 

"Yea but, Athe I can't loose you. You mean to much to me for me to loose you again. You mean the world to me and I refuse to lose you again to anyone." Natsu said standing up staring me down. "Why are you mad?" I asked confused at his sudden out rage. 

"Athe please, I' am not going to lose you again. I want you to be careful, I want you to be safe..... I want to keep you safe." Natsu said dropping back down to his seat. I pulled myself up to a sitting position, surprised by Natsu's sudden outburst. But a sharp pain shot through my body so I laid back down slowly trying hard not to make a sound so that he wouldn't know I was in pain. I picked up his hand and clutched it with both of mines. "I am safe Natsu." I replied smiling back at him

Suddenly the door slammed open and standing the door way was the whole guild. Faces were crying, people were crying, and others seemed to have drinks in their hands. "Athena!!! You're okay!!" Macao and Wakaba screamed together running to my bedside. "Of course I am okay, who do you think you're talking to." I replied laughing. 

"We thought we lost you again." Master said jumping onto the bed. "We're so glad you're okay Athe." Gray, Lucy, and Erza chimed in. "You all came for me?" I asked tears starting to form in my eyes. "Of course we came for you, you're our family!" Happy chipped. Tears began to fall form my eyes. 'It's so good to be home again.' I thought smiling to myself.

"Now let's CELEBRATE the recovery of a dear member!" Master yelled throwing his hands in the air. "YESS!" Everyone went crazy. People began drinking, partying, and crying for no apparent reason. But still it made me laugh. 

*Later that Night*

I was released form the hospital later that day. "Who are you going to stay with Athe?" Lucy asked taking hold of my arm, trying to help me walk. "You know I never thought about that. I totally forgot that I don't have a place here anymore." I chuckled pushing my hair over my shoulder, so it hung behind my back. "You can always stay with me." Lucy offered, smiling at me. "No. She's going to stay with me." Natsu said sternly. "Oh okay." Lucy replied looking over at Natsu, surprised that he was so serious. "Don't I get a say in this." I laughed. All Natsu did was step in front of me and kneeled down. "Get on."
