Lucy's POV 

Lucy had a death grip on his arm as he tried to escape, she was afraid he'd fight back but that was not the case. She let him go as he dropped to the floor cradling his arm where she had grabbed him. He was really hurt from that? She soon remembered the bandages. The cuts. "oh crap. Sorry." It shouldn't have hurt him that bad, maybe something else was wrong. "Hey let me check that" Lucy demanded. 

Natsu looked annoyed, but he still held out his arm when she crouched to his level. She unwrapped the bandages and gasped his arm was forming scabs, but they were yellowish. "They're infected. I never had anything to sanitize them with on the road, just bandages. And then I forgot about the whole cleaning the wounds thing, sorry that's my fault."

Natsu looked at her with a scowl "your fault?" Lucy just went to unwrapping his other arm, not bothering to look at him. "Just stop!" Natsu urged. "If I can be infected than I'm a normal human." Natsu monotonously mumbled. Lucy looked up at him, "What!?" He looked at her like he had just gotten caught in the middle of a crime.

"Nothing," He whispered, "Is that why you did this?!"She exclaimed, forcing his arm into his view to make her point. Natsu looked away, obviously not wanting to answer. Lucy dropped his arm and lunged at him, again pulling him into a fierce embrace. He was not prepared and almost hit his head on the cupboard behind him. "Those weren't your fault were they?" Lucy understood now, he was unstable. "What do you mean, it was m-" He hadn't tried to die either, he wasn't weak this was his way of trying to be normal. 

"It wasn't your fault!" Lucy interrupted. He was trying to be human, but he forgot that he doesn't have to try so hard! He was right, he was a little different, but he just needed some help and support. Maybe Lucy could make him feel alive, right now. She pulled away from the violent hug and looked him straight in the eyes. 

"You want to be normal? That's so boring!"  He gave her a small, sad smile. " Human. I don't care if I'm normal, I just wanna feel alive again." Did he want to feel human? Challenge accepted.

A/N Honestly I had no idea what to write but if you just start up from the last chapter it's a lot easier to pummel writer's block! Not that I've ever had it too serious.
