Weird Feelings?

Beep...Beep...Beep...
'Agh... What-what is that?'
Olive eyes peeled open in annoyance as the sound of a heart monitor chimed in the background. White walls and machines surrounding him on either side making the dragon slayer panic slightly for a second.
'W-where am I?!'
He struggled against the blanket on top of him, thrashing against the wool material.
Beepbeepbeep!
His heart thundered against his chest wall as the monitor alarming the passerbyers. Agony shot through the young man's leg when he kicked out, an ear piercing shriek ripping from his parched throat alerting the nurses. Footsteps   resounded beside him as a gentle hand placed itself on his shoulder.
"Mr. Dragneel...Mr.Dragneel. Please keep still"  a serene murmur soothed him while more footsteps trudged into the white space. His contentiousness began to fade from his mind as a male nurse pushed a sedative mixture into the IV connected to the boys arm. His body went limp in a matter of a few seconds.
Darkness.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Soft pressure rested on the calloused hand of the dragon slayer, the sensation of chilliness making Natsu slightly pull away. A hoarse groan rumbled from the fire weilders throat in an attempt to wake himself up. He heard creaking of a chair as something moved, the chair screeching across the hard floor. He could already smell the wintry scent of the walking icicle. The aroma was preferable to him rather than the horrid stench of antiseptics.
'He smells good... And why do I like it?' the boy wondered. Filling his nose with another waft of the pervy stripper he opened his emerald orbs-- the gleam of florescent disorientating his sight. His eyes stung as they adjusted to the light.
"Hey sleeping beauty. You finally decided to wake up, eh?" The arrogant voice of his rival indicating it was in fact the maker wizard next to him.
Natsu rolled his beautiful green irises at the male with a sour look.
"Of all people why did it have to be you?" He asked with a groan. 'Not that I'm not happy with that...'
"Hey, not my fault you decided to be a stupid bastard" Gray laughed, but the older boys tone was clearly dejected. Confused by the ice mages sudden melecholy he get his heart sink. 'Whats with him all of a sudden?'
"Where are we anyway?" He mumbled curiously as his eyes looked around the bright room. He lay in a futon, which was locatesin the middle of the colorless and barren room. It was filled with machines, a chair, and a table covered with flowers and a pitcher of water. A plastic cup sat next to it. His mouth instantly dried at the thought of a cool drink; he was parched.
"Magnolia General-- you were shot and lost a lot of blood. We almost lost you" Gray replied indiferently, "We had you transferred from Onibus last night when the doctors said you where stable enough. You flipped though so they gave you sedatives. You've been sleepin most the day away."
Natsu pulled a grimance. That was what that was? He felt only a few seconds ago he was struggling until that nice lady calmed him. He's have to thank her later.
"Where is Happy? And Luce and Lisanna?" He wondered aloud as he thought about his friends. His viridesent orbs were still glued to the pitcher of liquid on the little table. Internally thanking the ice mage Gray grabbed the cup and filled it up for him, handing the lukewarm liquid to the rosette. He snatched the cup from his teammates hand and greedily downed it.
"Che, figures you'd forget to say thank you" the raven haired male grumbled. Choosing to ignore the ice block Natsu smacked his lips trying to rid the bitter taste off his tongue.
"Well it's about time you woke up" said a blunt voice. Looking up from his drink the fire mage recognized the armored body of Titania. Gulping he shrunk down into the futon. Erza glided over to cherry haired mage, her heeled boots clanking against the wooden floor. Expecting to be slapped within an inch of his life his eyelids  shut tightly in mental preperation.
Clank!
Two metaled arms wrapped around his upper body in a secure embrace. Natsu's head was smashed against the redheads plated bosom making the slayer see white. His brawny arms enfolded the woman returning the hug.
"You idiot. How many times until you get it through your thick skull that you aren't invincible" Erza murmured as she petted the boy's rosé locks. The honeyed words and tender clasp on his physique relaxed him as he sunk into her grasp. The feeling of sibling love washed over him when she let him snuggle into her. Never had Erza been this open.
A resounding crack! Echoed the large room as Natsu's head was thrown to the side. He pressed his hand to his aching cheek and looked at the requip mage with fear and loathing.
"What the hell?!" Both boys cried out when the shielded hand landed on the dragon slayers cheek. The ice mage seemed to care more than the young pinkett about the slap. He stood over the boy in defensive position, his palms balled into fists at his side's and his knees bent slightly. Natsu's Jade eyes widened.
'Is he protecting me?' a crimson blush dusted his cheeks, from anger or embarrassment he didn't know 'He's really handsome when he... Wait what am I thinking?!'
The rose haired woman stood back a few feet, not expecting that reaction from the seemingly irked raventte. Looking from older to younger she noticed a few things she hadnt before. Gray seemed over protective of the teenager while Natsu's face was stained in a rosy colour. The requip mages brownish-violet orbs blinked in surprise before her lips quirked up into a smirk.
"Feel better Natsu. I'll leave both of you alone" Erza remarked as she left the hospital room. Watching their sister figure leave abruptly the older boy turned towards the younger.
"I could have stood up to her on my own" Natsu growled, folding his arms over his chest.
"Che, yeah right. She would have beat the shit outta you" the sable haired male snorted sitting back down in the rickety chair.
"Hmph!" 'I bet I coulda beatn' 'er up!' he thought, slumping further into the bed 'What would I need the stripper for anyways?'
He couldn't up up with a definite answer.
