20. Bouquet of Red and Beautiful Roses

~6 weeks after the big crash~

~2 days later~

•Grays P.O.V•

I walked down the hospital hall a smile on my face with a rose bouquet in my hand. My smile faded with a frown, and my stomach twisted. I have a bad feeling when I saw Natsu coming out of Lucy's room. I don't wanna say I'm jealous. Because I'm not. I just can't believe he'd take Lucy away from us. And he's just so childish, and I just. URG. I glared at him ruffly as we passed each other. He stopped, but I kept walking. I opened Lucy's room door, and closed it behind me. When I came in Lucy had a pale teary face.

•Lucy's P.O.V•

Natsu walked in to my room slowly. I smiled at him happily when I could finally see him fully.

"Hey! Excited for tomorrow?!" Natsu cheered. I nodded, and giggled. I sat up from my hospital bed, and pulled off the sheets covering me. Ever since the night of the concert no ones been here, but Gray. I only saw Natsu, and his friends when I woke up In my hospital bed that morning. My smile faded.

"Why haven't you been here..." I sighed looking up at him the sun setting slowly in his eyes.

"You know this has been hard on me too." He said firmly. My pupils became small.

"I understand." I closed my eyes, and smiled. I opened them to see Natsu sad, and confused. I scooted over toward him, and hugged him tightly rubbing his back sympathetically.

"I know how you feel." My lips quivered, my eyes filling up, and my heart beating at a quicker pace.

"If it makes you feel better maybe... we could go out... D-Dats... You know... So... To get our minds off this mess." I squinted my eyes, and blushed. I bit my lip my heart racing faster, and faster. Why did I just ask him out?! I felt a nudge, Natsu moving away from me.

"No, I don't. N-Not with you." His voice cracked, him firmer then before. He stormed out. My eyes blurred. To see Natsu like that. So cold, and in-passionate. I thought he was sweet, and I actually thought he liked me.

~present~

I opened my eyes wider when a wham of a door opening startling me to the chore. My tears jumped too. I saw Gray with a bouquet of red roses, which made me cry harder.

"Hey, Hey! Why are you crying!" He settled the roses upon my lap, and put his hand on my back comfortingly. I didn't say one thing. I was silent except for the sorrowing moans that escaped my lips.

"C-Come on, you can talk to me!" He asked concerned, and scared.

"Why doesn't he love me..." The sobs stopped, now it was completely dead silent.

"Why can't I remember...

Why can't I sing...

Why can't he love me...

Why do I even live..." I tightened my grasp on my sheets I was holding onto. As if I was holding on for dear life. I slouched, my shoulders to my ears, my teeth chattering with strong subdue.

"Look." He picked up the roses, and arranged it so I could see it's petals gleam as the sun set out my window.

"These roses resemble happiness, growth, and love." I looked into his eyes. This was like a fairy tale, but weird from waking up in that hospital bed that rainy night to see a stranger below my feet to again laying in a hospital bed being comforted by another stranger.

"These roses resemble happiness, growth, and love."

It repeated through my mind. I gently grabbed the bouquet from his hands, smelling them with a blush spreading across my cheeks. I looked at him, and he had the same blush as me. I felt guilty if I smiled for some reason, but I did it anyway. Finally, The sun had finished falling. We both were staring face to face in the darkness of the room. My smile grew bigger with happiness i had never ever felt before. I held the red, and beautiful roses tighter looking in his sparkling eyes from the glare of the stars.

"Thank you, P-Prince Charming."
