"Natsu, what are you doing?" "Watching you to make sure you don't fake anything like last time." "Natsu! I'm fine!" "I don't care if your fine or not, Cana put me in charge of you until she gets back, and I'm not going to make the same mistake that she did and let you get away without proper inspection." "Ugh."

"Ok! There. I've done all your little tests, can I go now?" "Hmm... Yeah, sure." "Finally! Freedom!" Lucy jumped out of bed, gave Natsu a quick kiss, and ran out of her apartment to wander around Magnolia.

Natsu was exhausted because he had stayed up all night guarding Lucy to make sure she was ok. He collapsed onto her bed. "Ugh, I forgot to ask her where she was going." Natsu got up and sleepily walked out of the apartment. He walked around to try and find Lucy. But no luck.

Natsu could feel himself get sleepier and sleepier. Soon he could barely stand. Lucy just so happened to be very close to where he was and found him just before he collapsed. "Natsu?" She started to walk towards him. Then, he collapsed. "Natsu!" Lucy ran to catch him.

Lucy dragged nearly unconscious Natsu to the closest bench. "What are you doing out here?" "I-I was l-looking f-for you. I didn't think you would be far but I needed to asked you where you were going. So then I would know where to go if you were out too late." "I was just walking around Magnolia until a couple of minutes ago when I decided to go to the guild. But Natsu, you didn't get any sleep last night did you?" He shook his head. "C'mon, let's go home."

When they got home, Cana wasn't back yet so the whole place was deserted. "I need you to sleep Natsu, if not for you, for me." "Yeah, ok." Lucy put him into bed, then decided to take a nap for herself. She cuddled up with Natsu.

*Door unlocking sounds* "Hey Natsu, you take care of my girl?!" Cana shouted, as she walked through the door of Lucy's apartment. "Natsu?" Cana went into Lucy's room. "Oh." She found Natsu and Lucy cuddled up together, sound asleep. "Ok then." She quietly shut the bedroom door and tiptoed away.

"Mm, Lucy?" Natsu's vision was a bit blurry as he woke up and looked around for Lucy. When his eyes adjusted, he found Lucy asleep in his arms. Cana walked in with a plate of food for the two of them.

"Well finally your awake, sleepyhead. Now to wake this one up." "How long have we been out?" Natsu asked. "Well, you two were asleep when I got home, and you were asleep for about 3 to 4 hours in the time I've been here. Before that, I don't know. Luucyy... Luucyy..." Cana said while attempting to wake up Lucy.

"Cana? Natsu? How long have I been asleep?" "3 to 4 hours." Cana said, placing the plate of food down next to her. "Ooh, I'm hungry." Natsu said, staring at the plate and licking his lips. "Go ahead, chow down." Cana said. Both Natsu and Lucy jumped at the food, devouring it. "Mm, this is good food." Natsu said with his mouth full. "Yeah." Lucy agreed.

"Now that you two are rested and full, I need you to help me clean the house. I understand, Lucy, that you have been injured and sick, but you're almost completely healthy again. And you two have made this place look like a hurricane ran through it. So today, you clean." "Fine." They said together.

Natsu and Lucy scrubbed the house so much it sparkled. "Wow!" Cana said in amazement. "This used to be a pigsty, and now it looks cleaner then a mansion! Good job you two." "I'm hungry again!" Natsu whined. "Of course you are." Lucy said chuckling. "Let's get some food for you guys."

Cana made dinner as Natsu and Lucy scrubbed themselves of all the chemicals and soaps they had used while cleaning. They actually took a shower, together. (Can I just say, damn these two love seeing each other naked! And I may be partly to blame. Lol) Natsu and Lucy got out of the shower and Cana was almost done with dinner.

"Guys! I finished dinner!" Cana yelled. Lucy walked out wrapped in a towel and Natsu was the same. "You two haven't gotten dressed yet?" "Uh uh." "Nope." They said. "Whatever, just eat, but put some clothes on when you finish." "Got it." They said in unison.

Natsu of course finished first and went to Lucy's room to change. Cana finished too so she went to take a shower. Then there was Lucy, all alone, left with her thoughts. She started to think about how happy she was to be with Natsu. So incredibly happy. Boy does she hope it will stay that way. "Lucy! Come on! Get dressed!" Natsu yelled from the bedroom. "Yeah! Ok, I'm coming!"
