I Love You [SEQUEL TO 'MAKING A DIFFERENCE']

Water

"You did a great job Lu! You can take your break now." I sighed in relief. Elias was still here. I took off the apron and folded it, placing it on the counter. I then put my hair up into a pigtail. I walked through the small gate from the counter into the opening. I walked over to Elias who moved by the window, near the letters Ry. He stopped staring out the window and looked at me.
"You wanna come with me?" I faintly smiled. He looked at me in confusion.
"Where to?"
"To visit Natsu, silly. I go there every day."
He glanced at his half empty cup of coffee as a frown appeared. "Okay"
Maybe it's not such a great idea for him to come. Doesn't seem like he even wants to. "You don't have to come if it makes you uncomfortable or anything!" He stood up from his seat, closing one of the bakery's books (we have novels and stuff for the people to read while they are here). He looked over at me while a small smile appeared. "I'm going."
I smiled at the thought. "Lets go!" I giggled.

       Elias took a glance around Natsu's hospital room as he slowly followed behind. I placed the flowers I bought at the nearby flower shop in the vase, removing the old ones. Elias slowly approached Natsu's bed.

Third POV
         "Good...." Elias whispered to himself as his fist clenched at the sight of Natsu. Lucy peered behind the curtains while continued to switch out the flowers, "what was that? Did you say something?" Elias looked back as his heart beated faster in fear. Sighing in relief, he is happy she didn't hear him. He smiled at Lucy, "oh no, nothing!"

       Serves him right....
[A/N- just in case ur confused, Elias isn't acting like this only because of jealousy, it's because Natsu twisted his arm]

Lucy's POV
         We walked back to the bakery.
-
        "Hey Lucy! Can you grab me 2 cups of waters?" She tapped her pen on the side of her cheek. I smiled at her, "sure thing!" I then entered these swinging doors that opened easily. I grabbed 2 empty glasses and filled them up with the fresh water in the refrigerator.

         I walked out of the kitchen with a big smile. "Okay Levy, here are y-"

            Crash!

            I looked down at the glass beneath my feet. Then ahead of me.

            Is this real?

            A tear fell out of my eyes as I went into a full on sobs. Our eyes meet.

       Dummy

        Why are you here

        I don't understand

        "Natsu...."

       "Happy birthday!"

        I looked at him, "it's not my birthday, silly...."

       "I know. I'm sorry I'm late..."

       "You're more than late. It's been almost a full month."

       We weren't talking about my birthday anymore.

        I couldn't move an inch. He saw me crying and shaking so much, that he got up from the chair and walked up to me. He didn't hesitate one moment before pulling me into a hug while his head hung low on my shoulder. His voice cracked, "I'm so sorry Lucy." His body started to tremble and my eyes widened.
I slowly wrapped my arms around his shaking back. Once I got comfortable, I gripped onto the back of his shirt and cried out more. "YOU IDIOT!! YOU LETT ME FOR A WHOLE MONTH! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!???!! I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD'VE DONE IF YOU....Y'KNOW!!!" He didn't respond, he just squeezed me even harder. I heard sobs coming out from him. "I'm sorry. It wasn't your fault." My calm voice suddenly broke out again, "it's mine....I'm sorry Natsu." I started to tremble. He released from the hug and pushed me back, using my shoulders. My eyes widened as we stared at each other.
"It's no body's fault. All that matters is that I'm here now..." he smiled so calmly at me which had eased my crying down.

That smile of his
I never want to see it disappear

I cupped his face with my hands as I chuckled the words, "Baka" [A/N- Idiot] out of my mouth. I then inched closer.

This smile of his....I just wanna rip it off his face and ship it off to America. I can't stand being around him when he smiles like that. Because it makes me wanna.....kiss.....

        My heart beated faster as a pair of lips attached onto mine. My eyes widened as a tear managed to escape my left eye. Idiot. I was the one supposed to kiss you....
       I slowly kissed back, enjoying every last second of it.

         It's like he knows everything I am thinking

          "Best birthday present ever...." I whispered as we pulled apart and just stared into each other' eyes with giant smiles and blushes on our faces.
