Lucy sighed in relaxation as Natsu massaged her shoulders. 

" You spoil me so. "she smiled lightly. Natsu smiled as well.

" You seemed stressed. "he said.

Lucy's head rolled back as she looked up at Natsu. Natsu kept going at her shoulders, making her head move as he did.

"I owe you something, what do you want? "she asked.

" I don't need anything, as long as you are alright. "he said, truthfully.

" hmmm! "she hummed, annoyed at his response. he grinned at her annoyance.

" Levy wanted me to ask if you wanna go to the bar later. She wants to hang out with you a lot ever since she found out you were back. "

" Sounds fun. "she sighed." Oh. Lisanna asked me if I would come to her party and play the piano. "

Natsu froze. She looked up at him.

" You can't! "he yelled." Remember what happened with the violin? "

" Yes Natsu, of course I remember... "she got up, swinging her arms." But... Maybe it was to early. Maybe, I will be able to play now. "

" Alright... if you can play the violin without anything wrong, right here... right now... "Natsu wiped his hands on his jeans and sighed." I won't try and stop you from going. "

Lucy turned to him and nodded, turning again to get her violin.

She got it out and held it up, getting prepared to play. Plucking at the strings a few times. She took a deep breath and began to play (media).

It wasn't any 'gentle' music, well not exactly.

She started at a fast pace, then going into a a repeated pattern, stopping that pattern and creating a new. It was a fast paced music filled with patterns that changed and repeated throughout. 

She moved around a bit, tapping her toes on the the ground as if dancing a bit. 

Her hips swaying as her hair flowed with her movement, enchanting Natsu as her violin sang as Lucy rang her fingers and bow through the strings of the wooden instrument.

Her lovely eyes were closed like any other song she had played before, when she had no voice. Now that she had gained it, Natsu knew her song had changed. But now as she played, it was all wrong. Like her voice had not been found. Like she was using someone else's.

She turned her body, playing the last string through, dropping her bow to her side, leaning her head against her instrument. Her forehead covered in sweat.

Lucy sighed , dropping her bow and instrument, her knees making contact with the ground.

" I don't think you should go, Lucy... "Natsu clarified. He walked up.

" but... I made it through? "she wheezed." Didn't I? "

" Barely, you're already on the ground. "he held her shoulders." Lucy... you're going to hurt yourself if you do go. "

" I'm going, you said if I made it through the whole thing you wouldn't stop me. "she pushed herself up, but fell right into his arms again.

" You're so stubborn. "he sighed.
