Fateful Flames (A NaLu Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

.

Hey my NaLunatics <3 just another reminder that I am no longer rewriting/editing this story... I might pop in every once in a while if I feel like editing, but other than that, it's just going to be the original story! I am going to be putting in a little section with Louise's POV. I will rarely put in another character's POV unless I feel like it adds a little more to the story just so we see different perspectives of the events taking place.

>>>Him&Her<<<
[Natsu]
I knocked on the door quietly and immediately Erza's voice sounded.

"Come in."

I opened the door with Louise behind me. I walked in and she smiled softly. "Natsu, you're looking well...How are you doing?"

"I'm fine.." I looked at her current appearance. She didn't look to great from where I was standing. "And how are you holding up?"

She shrugged lightly, "Nothing I can't handle." She paused and shifted her position in her bed, wincing just a little as she did so. She smiled weakly as she sat back. "How is Gray and Lucy?"

"Er, Gray is a little shaken and stuff, but he's still the same old idiot who keeps a straight face." I chuckled as I talked. She smiled a little and nodded.

"Sounds about right..." She said and I nodded. We fell silent for a moment. Erza frowned a little, more concerned than upset. "Lucy."

"Hm?" I tensed a little, and tilted my head.

"You never said anything about Lucy and how she's doing." Erza kept her slight frown.

I shook my head and looked back at Louise who had locked her eyes on me. "I dunno. I haven't been told anything and I haven't seen her..."

Erza sighed softly and nodded. I leaned my weight against the drywall and nodded.

"Yeah. Hey, have you called anyone yet?"

Erza shook her head. "No, I was planning on calling Levy and Jellal later on if they let me."

I nodded again, "yeah, if you call Levy she'll rush in here. She'll want to see Luce..."

"L-Luce?" Erza titled her head.

I stuttered and my face heated a little bit, "I- I mean- I meant.. Lucy."

"Right..." she smirked a little then she smiled softly. "Well,when you have the chance, tell Lucy I said hello."

Louise shifted her weight and checked her silver watch, "Well, we should go, Natsu...If you want to see Miss Heartfilia, we might want to do it now. I told my work partner you'd only be out no more than two hours."

I nodded and smiled briefly at Erza. "Take care Erza. I'll be back, I promise."

"Right," She nodded back at me, "tell Lucy I said hi."

"Yeah, sure thing." I exited the room, Louise mentioned having to talk to Erza about calling Jellal and Levy so she stayed in the room.

[Louise POV]

As I stood quietly behind Natsu, I slowly opened the files I had grabbed earlier from my work partner that involved information on Miss Heartfilia and Miss Scarlet's condition. I read, kind of blocking them out of my concentration. I read on Miss Heartfilia's condition, I myself didn't know what her condition was exactly. I know, I know. I'm a doctor, I'm supposed to know these things. But I had only gotten the information about eight minutes ago, I told Natsu what I was told before the data came in: There are things that will need time to heal. The way he looked when I mentioned Miss Heartfilia's name...I just had to tell him something.
