~First Book of The Illness Series~
Natsu Dragneel was in his last year in college about to take over his father's company, Dragon Inc. Everyone thought Natsu was a cold-hearted person, he was harsh to his friends and even random people he just meets...
Once the game started there were many whispers behind us about who I was. It didn't bug me that much. I kept my bag close as it had me medication inside just in case. Levy and Mira were cheering on team 'Fairy Tail' as I giggled a little. Every time Natsu would get the ball everyone who start chanting his basketball nick-name. It was very different to what I imaged it was going to be. "What you think so far Lu?" Levy asked smiling at me. I smiled back. "It's exciting" I replied as Mira smiled also.
The game went on and both teams were tied, many tired but Sting and Natsu. I could tell by the glares they was giving each other someone bad had to start their fight. They used to be really close. A part of me wanted to know what happened but another part knew it wasn't my fight. The game got into over time the next score would be the last. Natsu had the ball and threw it to Gray before moving up toward the Sabertooth hoop. Gray threw the ball to Laxus who then threw it all the way to Natsu.
I was shocked at how far he threw it. Natsu then slammed dunked the ball into the hoop getting nearly everyone cheering. Mira, Levy and I stood up clapping. Natsu looked my way as I gave him a huge smile. He rushed over as their towels were on the bench next to us. "So your first game, what you think?" Natsu asked he was out of breath as I couldn't help but smile at him. "I love it" I replied as Natsu smiled back. More whispers happened behind me. "Im gonna change, stay here" Natsu kissed my forehead.
He then grabbed his towel as well as the rest of the team before they all headed off. Most of the people left the court and headed toward the cafeteria. "Our boys always win" Mira then cheered making me giggle. "So your the Heartfilla chick?" a female voice asked as I turned my head to see Lisanna walking over with another girl. "Evergreen" Mira muttered upset as this Evergreen flipped her hair over her shoulder. Levy moved in front of me. "Where are Erza and Juvia" I heard Levy muttered quietly upset.
Evergreen and Lisanna came closer toward me, Mira moving to block them. "Don't get in our way Mira" Lisanna then crossed her arms upset. I saw something click inside Mira. A dark aura started to grow around her. Darker than Erza's. "HELL NO" Mira shouted upset as her hands turned into fist. "Bickslow" Evergreen called out as a guy came over making me step back a little.

He walked up to Mira as Evergreen smirked at Levy. Levy stood her ground as Evergreen passed Mira who was distracted by Bickslow and push Levy to the ground. "How long you going to fake your illness Lucy Heartfilla?" Lisanna asked walking up to me, stealing my bag. That's when it clicked. I felt pain start in my chest. My left hand started shaking. "Im not faking" I replied as Lisanna gave a fake laugh and rolled her eyes. She soon stole my bag and pushed me backwards onto the ground.
"You faking is the only reason Natsu is with you, because he feels sorry for you" Lisanna then laughed as my other hand started shaking this time. "LISANNA" Mira shouted upset as Levy glared at her. I got up and ran off heading toward the trees on the other side of the court. I moved behind one and sat under it. I hugged my leg taking deep breaths as the pain started to get worse. I-I needed my medication b-but she had it..... I started to struggle to breath......
Natsu's Pov,
I came out changed and saw Lisanna, Bickslow and Evergreen keeping Mira and Levy in place. My eyes widen as Lisanna was holding Lucy's bag and she was no where to be seen. "LISANNA" I screamed upset walking up to her. I grabbed Lucy's bag glaring at them all. Lisanna sweat-dropped and started shaking. "She ran into the woods, Natsu she needs you now" Mira then nearly shouted being pushed onto the ground by Evergreen. One thing I knew about Mira was that she could handle herself.
I nodded and ran toward the trees. Behind the courts where the woods. It was used in many classes. I heard soft crying as I found Lucy she was on the ground and looked in pain. I hurried to her side opening her bag. I knew what medication she needed. I got her bottle of water and some tablets and then helped Lucy sit up. "Hurry, take these" I passed them to Lucy as she took them right away. She was used to taking tablets and medication. after she was done, I pulled her into a tight hug.
"God I got worried when I couldn't see you" I whispered as she hugged me back. I kissed Lucy's forehead as she told me what Lisanna said. Lisanna was asking for it. "God I wish I could hit her" I muttered coldly as I pulled away from the hug. I sat down next to Lucy as she put her bottled water away in her bag. "Don't listen to her Lucy she's just jealous" I then pulled Lucy onto my lap shocking her a little. I played with her hair, smiling at her as she smiled back. "I love you Lucy Heartfilla" I then whispered to her.
"I love you too Natsu Dragneel" Lucy whispered back as I pulled her into a kiss. Lucy kissed back as one of my hands were on her waist and the other on her back. No matter what, I would always keep her safe. No matter what I would have to do....
