Chapter 24

A/N: I apologize for any mistakes, as I haven't checked this over.

Author's POV
The next morning, Natsu came to pick Y/N up from the hospital.

The two met each other in the lobby. Natsu had fully healed from the incident, and Y/N was nearly there. She had regained more color in her skin, and her eyes were glowing with life again, normal. Her arm bandages were hidden by her sleeves, and so she didn't even look like she had been hurt.

Y/N took her lollipop out of her mouth and greeted him.

"You shouldn't be sucking on those," Natsu scolded.

"Are you my father now?" Y/N pouted. [A/N: But you are her daddy (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .... I'm sorry] Still, she threw it away, saying she didn't like banana flavor anyway.

Natsu looked away and smiled to himself, his bangs covering his eyes. 'She's so cute, hehe.'

Y/N's POV
I threw my lollipop out in a nearby can, still pouting.

"Wha--"
I felt myself being lifted up in the air, and the feeling of being in someone's arms. "Hey!" I protested, batting at their arm uselessly. I looked up to meet my eyes with Natsu. Our faces were a few inches apart.

My eyes wandered down to his lips and I swiftly turned my head away, feeling the color rise in my cheeks. "P-put me down," I mumbled.

I could practically hear his smile when he spoke. "Nope~"

He carried me out of the hospital bridal style despite my protests.

When I arrived at the hotel (we decided to stay there for another night), everyone hugged me and said how they were happy to have me back. I then took a shower. It felt so nice and refreshing after being stuck in that nasty bed. I may seem like the last person to enjoy cleaning, and I do, but I hate germs even more.

I threw on a clean white sundress and a loose black jacket. I slipped on red converse and headed out the door, my hair still dripping wet.

I wanted to get out of this apartment, it was tiny and boring. There wasn't anything worth noting; everything was white, kinda like that bloody hospital. Ya'll may be wondering why I would go out like that when I mentioned how it was snowing last time I was wandering around (during that incident...), but right now, it's sunny and there isn't a single cloud in the sky. I told ya the weather here is weird and random.

I saw Natsu, leaning casually against a pillar. He was fanning himself, as he had clearly predicted it would be cold, judging from what he was wearing.

"Oh, hey Y/N." He said when he saw me.

"You know, you could just take your jacket off," I said.

He nodded at me like I was a genius and started to unzip it. 'Baka.'

He was wearing a tank top underneath, and when he took his jacket off, it exposed his arms. I couldn't help but stare at them biceps. I never really noticed them before because of the shirts he wore.

He noticed where I was looking and smirked. "You like?" He asked, flexing his muscles.

I scoffed. "You wish." I tore my eyes away, heat rising in my cheeks.
