Ch. 31 - His care

____________________________________________________________________________

  I still couldn't get over to what just happened between me and Natsu earlier. I could still feel his warm breath under my neck, his arms wrapped around me even though it happened 30 minutes ago. Iyaah. Stop over thinking about that, Lucy. Oohh.

   You're going to get caught by the homeroom teacher if you don't pay attention in class. Ignoring the idea of Natsu and I, I went and started copying notes written on the blackboard.

   "How did you and Natsu go? Did something happen to you two?" Levy asked, sounding worried and at the same time, excited.

    "N-Nothing really happened..." I gulped to myself, feeling nervous about the teacher catching us and about Natsu... N-Natsu... Natsu....

    Forgetting what I was worried about, I felt my cheeks heat up all of a sudden, making me squirm around. "Luce?" I cringed when I felt Natsu's hand on my shoulder. "Everything alright?" He asked in a worried tone.

    "Alright. You two seem to know my lesson very well." We heard the teacher drop his chalk with his arms folded across his chest. "You." He pointed at Natsu. "Write the formula of the quadratic equation." He ordered, handing Natsu a chalk.

    Oh, no. He was so worried about me he got in trouble. I slowly raised my hand as a volunteer. "Sir, I'll do it." I volunteered.

    At least I know the quadratic formula. Natsu doesn't. "No, Ms. Heartfilia. I trust you and your grades. This is Mr. Dragneel's punishment." The teacher smiled then frowned at Natsu's presence.

   "No." I whispered, holding him by the end of his blouse. He turned to look at me. I kept shaking my head at him but he smirked and let go of my hand.

    What the hell is he doing?

    He gave Natsu a chalk to which Natsu accepted. He started scribbling something on the board. "No... no, no, no." I kept muttering to myself. He's sure to be punished when he doesn't answer it right!

     "Urk!" The teacher exclaimed when I heard the chalk dropping on the chalk holder. Natsu stared at him casually with his hands tucked inside his pockets.

    "C-Co-Correct!"

The teacher and I gaped when he started walking back to his seat. I couldn't help but stare at him in awe. When did he pay attention in class...?

Natsu stopped to his tracks when he reached my table.

"L-Let's continue, c-cl-class..." the teacher coughed as he started to jot down notes for Math while I was watching Natsu.

He chuckles softly and crouched down. He gently pushes my chin up. "You better close that down, hun, or else the bees will get the best of them." He winked then walked back into his seat.

I blushed as my reaction to his action then slumped on the table. "Are you a'right, Lu?" Levy asked. But, I honestly couldn't believe Natsu actually pays attention in class--wait. I'm so stupid. How little do I even think of Natsu?

"Nice goin, nerd."

"Nice one, Natsu."

"Good to see you paying attention."

Everyone was trying to befriend Natsu after what happened earlier. I watched them go to him then leave his table.

"Who's your inspiration?" I heard a girl with a seductive voice go near Natsu. I looked closely and realized it was Mickey with the long brown hair and her two buttons up were released, showing her cleavage.

"Uh," Natsu cleared his throat. "I-I just wanted to get my grades up, that's all."

"Hey," Mickey went and pulled him by his necktie. "If you'd like, I can tutor you."

Natsu pulled his necktie back. I gripped onto my skirt underneath the table. "Sorry. I like studying by myself."

Mickey whimpered. "Oh well. Too bad."  She shrugged then left the room with her butt jiggling as she walked.

I roughly pulled my bag on to my shoulder and started walking out of the room. "Hey!" Natsu called. "Luce! Wait!"

I felt his hand grab my by my arm. "Are you even alright to start walkin'? The clinic's not too far. I can walk you there." He told me.

I shook his hand off, feeling jealousy consume me. "Why don't you go with Mickey, then? She looks rarin' to go with you anywhere."

"What are you talkin' about now? I didn't even know this... this Mickey. I only know Mickey Mouse and he is definitely not a girl nor a human."

I gripped my hands tightly to my side, trying to stop my anger and jealousy. Then turned around with a forced smile. "Sorry, Natsu. S-Something's just.. not right."

"What is it?" He asked with a worried tone then held both my arms by the side. "Tell me."

I blushed due to how close he was to my face. "Wait. Aren't we in the hallway?!" I quickly looked around and realized everyone staring at us. I blushed and pulled Natsu out of the hallway then stopped by he bench behind the Gym.

"What the hell were you thinking, worrying about me and.. and saying stuff like that in public. Aren't you even conscious if they find out about us?"

He paused for a minute to look up then looked back at me. "Nah."

My eyes widened. "R-Really? Y-You aren't even gonna react when they jump to conclusions about... us dating and all?"

He shrugged. "To hell with them. Why do they care? The one who only knows about our true relationship is us."

He held me by the forehead and felt his. "No fever. Alright, you're fine." He sighed in relief. "You almost got me there."

"What...?"

"I couldn't help but worry over you during class. I couldn't help worrying about your fever...." he leaned his forehead on mine and smiled. "I'm so relieved you're all right."

I didn't know what to say. But, I had this feeling to say, "Tha-Thanks..." I started. "For... your concern..." then looked away to cover my flustered face.

He gave out his signature grin. "No problem!"
