Three

                                    

                                          
There was an awkward silence before Natsu spoke. "What do you want?" His voice was cold and harsh, Lucy flinched.
                          
"Uhm, Erza wants to go on a mission so she sent me to get you" Natsu sighed.
                          
"I'm not coming" Lucy frowned at him.
                          
"Why not?"
                          
"Don't wanna" 
                          
Lucy put her hand hand on her hips. "And why not?"
                          
Natsu tried to ignore her burning glare and looked elsewhere seemingly bored. "Coz I'm tired" 
                          
Lucy huffed. "I guess I'll have to tell Erza you aren't coming then" She tried to scare him with Erza.
                          
"Sure" He said. He really didn't want to be around Lucy too long, his thoughts were out of control.
                          
Lucy wasn't sure why she said what she said next, she just felt like it would create a reaction from him. "I guess I'll have to room with Gray tonight then, we have gotten close recently" Lucy then turned around and started to leave.
                          
She froze when she heard a furious growl from Natsu. She turned around slowly and saw him literally inches away from her, breathing heavy with an angry glare on his face. "You will NOT be staying with Gray"
                          
Lucy gulped and said nothing. Natsu then grabbed her arm and started to walk to the guild, dragging her behind him. Outside was Erza, Gray and Happy already waiting for them. Wendy and Carla couldn't come seeing as Wendy wanted to visit the orphanage with Cana again.
                          
"Took you long enough" Gray commented. Natsu growled at him making him momentarily shocked. "Got something to say flame brain?" Gray shouted back getting close to Natsu's face. 
                          
"Back off Icicle" Natsu warned, his grip on Lucy's arm getting tighter. She felt her arm starting to burn as their argument got more heated and cried out in pain when she saw flames come from Natsu's hand and go onto her arm.
                          
"Natsu!" Erza punched him in the face and quickly took Lucy away from him. Natsu growled loudly but stopped himself when he saw the huge burn on Lucy's arm. He froze and a horrified expression took over his face.
                          
"Luce! I'm so sorry. I-I didn't- I" He was panicking. He hurt Lucy. She's going to hate him now.
                          
"Natsu, it's fine honestly! You didn't do it on purpose" Lucy tried to calm him as Gray iced up her arm to prevent swelling. Seeing Gray so close to Lucy made Natsu angry but he tried to ignore that and focus on her instead.
                          
"I really am sorry Lucy" He went to touch her but pulled himself away and looked down. 
                          
"Are you still well to join us Lucy?" Erza checks.
                          
"Of course! I'll be better in no time!" They all then went to the train station. Happy had quickly gone to get Wendy so she could heal Lucy and give Natsu her troia spell. However Natsu had denied the help thinking he didn't deserved it for hurting Lucy.
                          
They boarded the train and Natsu sat down hoping Lucy would stay away from him, but with no such luck. She sat next to him and looked at him worriedly. Erza and Gray looked worried briefly but started to conversate as usual.
                          
"Lushie" Happy yawned. Lucy looked at the cat as he uncomfortably turned on the table. She giggled at pat her lap. Happy smiled brightly and lay down to fall asleep on her. Natsu couldn't help but feel jealous- of his best friend! I mean, Happy usually slept on Lucy, why was now any different?
                          
The ride was short and soon they were at the hotel they had to stay at. Erza had wanted to sort out room and first decided on girls and boys- yet changed her mind when she saw Gray and Natsu glare at each other. 
                          
"I'll take Natsu, you take Gray?" Lucy offered. Erza agreed.
                          
"What about me?" Happy pouted. 
                          
"Come on then little guy" Erza grinned and picked Happy up. She cuddled him into her chest and so Happy agreed on staying with them. 
                          
Lucy and Natsu went to their room and that's when Lucy began to feel cool shivers run down her. She felt the same thing she had earlier that day this time her body was cool rather than warm. What was she going to do with Natsu in the room?
                          
As they get into their room Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her into a hug. She was shocked at first but hugged back. "You alright Natsu?" she stroked his head.
                          
"I really am sorry about burning you Luce" He croaks out.
                          
"I know you are, stop worrying silly" she giggled. He felt something turn in his stomach as she giggles, his heart jumped and he was left with a giddy feeling. He lifted up his hands and grinned at her evilly.
                          
The he began to tickle her and she screamed and tried to get away. "AHAHAH, NO- AHAHAHAH, N-NATSU AHAHAHA" after awhile he stopped and just grinned at her.
                          
"I'm getting in the shower" He tells her and leaves. Before entering the room he turns around and smirked. "No peaking Lucy" She turned bright red.
                          
"WHAT!" She threw a pillow towards him but it hit the door as he closed it. She felt herself getting excited. 
                          
"IDIOT!"
