I can't let you go.

Chapter 8

~LUCY'S P.O.V~
Damn. That blush made me scream inside. Welp. I gotta listen.

~~20 minutes later~~
"Well, that was all. Good night." He heard me snoring like a kid. Then he kissed me on his forehead. I was faking my sleep and my snore. I just want a kiss from him. 😂

~~1 hour later~~
Gosh. What woke me up in the middle of the night? I gotta wake up e-

"Hey."
"Loki?"
"Yea. It's me."
"S-so, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"
"I think my gut wants to visit a princess."
"A princess? There's no princess here." I laughed.
"Well. There is."
"Who is that?"
"Her name is Lucy Heartfilia." Stop. You're making Natsu jealous in his sleep.
"Welp. I gotta wake up early tomorrow, bro. Good night."
"Good night, princess." Hell naw. I blushed real hard.

~~The next day~~
"Oy! Wake up! You missed school!"
"WHAT?! WHAT TIME IS IT?!"
"It's 12:00...?"
"FUDGE! You should've got to school!"
"Welp. I cared too much about you so I didn't got to school too. So, what made you wake up late?"
"I-I woke up in the middle of the night."
"Because?" He crossed his arms on his chest. Then he tapped his foot on the floor while waiting for my answer.
"I-I don't know! I just woke up by myself." He looks jealous. I think he heard everything from last night.
"Stop lying, Lucy Heartfilia. You talked to someone last night." Hell naw!
"Yea! I did! But he didn't woke me up!"
"Who was that?"
"L-"
"Loki? Yep. I thought of that. Of course it's him."
"Natsu! We didn't even kissed or like that! And, hey! We aren't a couple! There's no reason to get jealous."
"Says the girl who doesn't get jealous."
"Fine! We can get jealous. But we make sure we don't broke their hearts."
"Well, okay then. Breakfast is ready By The Way."
"Thanks, Natsu. I owe you a lot. Like a lot."
"No, Luce. I do."
"I-I'll just e-eat." Then, he ran to the door. To open it for me. God! Natsu! Then my cheeks started heating up. I blushed real, real, real hard this time.
"I'm coming with you, M'lady."
"Okay, Natsu." Then he held my hand. While walking downstairs.

~~After eating~~
I'm gonna ask Natsu if he's still jealous about last night.
"Natsu?"
"Ye?"
"Are you still jelly?"
"Bruh. It's like a million years ago. I'm not jelly anymore."
"Oh. Okay." Yes! Perfect!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wanna watch a movie later?"
"Movie Marathon?"
"Yea. Would you want to?"
"Of course I do!" Then he cuddled with me. I heard the doorbell ring. I stomped while walking like a child. Natsu was laughing at me.
~~~~~
"Oh. Hi, Lisanna. So you've figured out where Natsu is living?"
"K-kinda like that."
"Wanna talk to him?"
"Y-yea."
"Come in."
~~~~~~
"Hey, Lis."
"H-hey N-Natsu." She was nervous. Hmm what could Lisanna be telling Natsu.
"What is it?"
"I-i w-wanna c-confess t-to y-you."
"Lucy, will you leave us a sec?"
"Yea." I answered nervously. What could that be? I just sat on one of the steps on the stairs.
"So, what are you going to confess?"
"I-I l-like y-you."
"That's great but."
"But?"
"I think there's no chance to the two of us."
"Why?"
"I-I'm in love with Lucy. And I think she's in love with me."
"O-oh. S-sorry f-for b-bothering."
"It's okay Lisanna." She stomped her feet while walking out.
~~~~~~~~~
"Lucy! You can go down now!"
"Okay! I'll be there."
~~~~~~~~~
"So, how was it?"
"I-I don't wanna talk about it."
"Oh. Okay then, Natsu." He looks hurt.
"...."
"Are you okay?"
"Y-yea."
"You look dizzy."
"Welp." Then I brought him upstairs. Laid him down on the bed.
"L-Lucy. You don't have to do this..." I kissed him on his forehead to make him feel better.
"I do. I'll be back. I'm going to get medicine. Rest here for a while don't stand."
"O-okay, Lucy. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, Natsu."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Knock knock
"Come in."
"Hehehe, I was pretending to be your maid."
"It's obvious, Mrs. Dragneel." MRS. DRAGNEEL?! LIKE, WTH!!! MRS. DRAGNEEL?!
"M-Mrs. D-Dragneel?"
"Yup." NATSU! STOP IT.
"Welp. Just eat your soup. I made you one."
"Thanks."
"But be care-"
"What?"
"N-nothing." I giggled.
"Be careful because it's hot?"
"Yep. But I remembered, you have fire powers."
"Hahaha, yep."
"Just enjoy your soup. It's okay to spill on the bed. Just be careful. I'm just gonna take a bath."
"Lucy. Why are you so concerned? I'm just dizzy."
"Just dizzy? No, no, no. I still gotta take care of you. You're sick!"
"F-fine. Thank you s-so m-much."
"I'll be back okay? I'll be fast."
"Okay, Luce."

~~While taking a bath~~
Yep. I've been so concerned about Natsu. Lucy! What's happening to you. You should confess now! He told Lisanna the truth, right?! Go! Go confess to him! You love him! Right, Lucy Heartfilia?! Tell him the truth!!
*knock knock
"L-Lucy."
"Yea?"
"Are you almost finished?"
"Why?"
"No questions. I gotta, you know."
"Okay, okay. I just gotta dry myself."
~~
"Okay, I'm done. You come in there now. You might "You know" here."
"Okay, thanks."
~~~
"I'm done."
"Aren't you hungry?"
"Nope. I'm just sleepy."
"Oh, okay. Go sleep for a while. I'm sleepy too. I'm gonna sleep so that I can't disturb you."
"Okay, Luce. G'night. Hehehe."
"G'night. I giggled

~~4:00 am. Monday~~
Oh. It's 4:00 am already. I'm not letting Natsu go to school today. He's sick. He needs to rest. Oh well. I gotta go back to sleep.

~~Lucy's Alarm time.~~
Aaaaahhhh. Morning. Natsu's still asleep. I'll just leave a note. For when he wakes up later.
"G-g'morning, Luce."
"Morning, Natsu. I'm not letting you go to school today."
"Wh-"
"No questions. You're sick. You gotta rest so please go stay here and rest for me." I pouted.
"Okay, okay. I'll take care here. Thanks for your concern."
"You're welcome, Natsu. I'll just leave you food."
"Okay. Thank you very much, Luce."
"Welp. I gotta go. Take care of yourself okay? I trust you."
"Okay, Luce. I promise to take care of myself."
"Bye, Natsu." Then I held his hands then hugged him very tight. He hugged tighter.
"Bye, Lucy."

~~At school~~
"Lucy!" I heard a guy shouted my name. I turned around, it was Gray.
"Hey, Gray."
"Oh. You look sad? What's the problem? Where's Natsu?"
"N-nothing. I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" Then I looked down.
"Yea. I'm sure." He held my chin and made me looked at his fierce face.
"Come on, Lucy. Don't be sad. I'm here for you to cheer you up."
"Thanks, Gray."
"So, wanna eat with me later at lunch?"
"Yea."
"Thanks, Lucy. I'll see you later."

~~At lunch~~
"Lucy?"
"...."
"Look at me. Are you really okay?"
"Yea. I'm just worried about Natsu."
"What about him?"
"He's sick."
"Oh. You should've told me."
"Well, you might say it's not a good reason."
"Look. I'm not that kind of guy. Yes. Me and Natsu fights a lot but there's no reasons for me to not care about him. He's my best friend. I still should care. You gotta go home. I know it's cutting classes but, you should take care of him. He's sick. You love him, right?"
"Yes, Gray."
"I'll be on your back. We're going home after lunch."
