Can't You See I Love You? A NaLu FanFic

chapter»five

Lucy POV

"I feel sick..." The dragon slayer barfed.

"Could you be sick away from me?" I said to him. He groaned in response. "Is there anything I can do to make you stop barfing?"

"I dunno... just ... help.. me." Natsu barely got out, trying not to throw up.

"Fine, I'll try." I said as I laid his head on my lap. I started patting his soft, spiky pink hair, massaging it. He sighed in relief, still a little sick, but I think he's falling asleep.

"You loooove~ him!" Happy teased.

"Shut it, cat!"

I kept running my hands through his hair until he fell asleep. Well, at least he's in peace now, and not barfing his stomach out.

I hummed softly to myself as I pulled out a book and started reading it. Happy seemed to have fallen asleep as well, so I sat in peace and quiet as Natsu slept on my lap, and Happy across from us.

On the way there, I heard Natsu mumble a few things about food, or fighting. Then I think I heard something about kicking Gray's butt. I giggled softly to myself. He was so cute when he was sleeping.

"Lucy...mm.." Natsu murmured in his sleep.

"Huh?" I whispered softly.

Uh... did I hear that right?

All those thoughts were returning, ugh! I'll have to try to think about it later, though. We were almost there. I cleared my mind, putting my book away.

The train blew it's whistle as it stopped.

"Natsu," I shook him. "Wake up. We're here."

"Mmm.. what? I'm not barfing! I'VE COME BACK TO LIFE!" He said in excitement, waking up Happy.

"Fish? What? Are we there yet?" Happy mumbled, just waking up.

"Yup, come on, we're finally here," I said, walking off the train, followed by Natsu and Happy. "So this dog, it's rabid, but supposedly also uses magic, and it's very smart. That's why they contacted a guild to take care of it. We're gonna need a hotel here tonight, because it's gonna take a while to find and take care of if what I know about it is right. Let's go talk to the client."

"Aye sir!" Happy saluted.

Natsu POV

Once we got to the client's house, Lucy did most of the talking, asking about sightings, and the magic, stuff like that. It's pretty unnecessary if you ask me, but she seemed like she needed the information, so I didn't get in her way.

Well, really, for most of the time I was just thinking about Lucy. Again. I couldn't stop! It was so annoying. Her hands in my hair was soothing, probably more than it should have been.

"-Atsu. Natsu! Come on we need to go!" Lucy called out to me, standing up to leave.

"Sorry, I was lost in thought." I responded, standing up to follow her.

"Psssh, since when do you get lost in thought?" Happy teased.

"I can be smart when I want to!" I defended.
