Chapter Eight 

|Lucy Heart's POV| 

I was still shocked that I couldn't even speak. Dragneel was slurping Hospital soup as he grimaced, he said it tasted like dying flames. I rolled my eyes like I would know how that tasted but I was glad that he was alright. He had a white bandage wrapped around his stomach and his right arm was also wrapped, they said he had sprained his elbow but it was nothing too serious. 

I sat back a little my mind drifting away from where I needed to stay focused. How can you blame me? Someone that I've loved for so long had finally said he loved me back? Was I going to believe it? Natsu wasn't one to lie, he never did. He was more of a straight and forward type of person and his honesty was too keen which is why some people began hating him.

He turned from an idiotic innocent guy into this... responsible, powerful, conceited man.  To this point, I still had nothing to say and I was getting clueless by the hours that passed. What was I suppose to say back? I did want to say... I love you back but I still couldn't believe he had said those three words, I still think it's my imagination, I still think that it isn't true that it didn't happen. 

My eyes moved to Dragneel who's mind was also out of this room, it seemed far away into a distance place where even I coudn't reach.

"Heart.." he suddenly spoken his voice soft but held a tone of seriousness that my eyes widen to some extent, I've never heard him with that tone of voice since I've met him.

"W-what?" I was getting a little nervous over here and I couldn't even suppress it, my emotions were all over the place today. "Do you.. love Natsu- I mean the other me?" his eyes still looked to be far away but he was definitely speaking to me.

I blushed though, I didn't see that coming at all. This week was really trying to kill in many more ways than I could count. "Y-yes..." I fumbled with my fingers and bit my lip because I couldn't lie, it was just too obvious. He hummed for a second before he gazed at me from the corner of his eyes, they glittered curiously like new found shinning diamonds.

That's when I knew something was up, was he finally realizing his feelings to his Lucy? I smirked with this new profound news and decided to tease- er I mean urge him on a bit more.

"Are you thinking about your Lucy, Dragneel?"  His body instantly tensed up and his head snapped at me as he scratched the back of his head with flushed cheeks. "Why would you say that, she's my nakama. That's what you're suppose to think about Nakama's" he slurred, his words coming out fast and uncontrollably.

"Oh, really? Well I can't wait until Lucy has kids with another guy, they'll be so cute" I cooed and he gripped the sheets, I could feel the blazing anger even from where I was sitting. 

"She'll be having my children.." he mumbled then I saw his eyes bulge out, he was even flabbergasted at his own response.

"Huh? What was that?" I almost shouted, I was getting too giddy and excited for this but it was so fun. He looked like a toddler that just figured out that crayons write, he was new to this and teasing him was the best way to actually see how he feels towards his Lucy. He shook his head and looked at the ground as if it could tell him all the answers he needed,
