I had to emotionally torture myself by going back to reread the chapters about Future Lucy, just to show you all how deeply Natsu cared for and cherished Lucy. Even if she was Future Lucy, she was still his Lucy.
If you pay close attention, when Future Lucy was killed, she coughed up a lot of blood. The fatal wound in her abdomen bled heavily, spreading into a pool of blood beneath her. Her clothes were no longer neat either, perhaps affected by the battle between Natsu and Rogue.
But when Ultear and Meredy’s team arrived in time to heal Natsu, instead of immediately leaving to fight Rogue, Natsu did not. He ignored the wound in his own body and dragged himself toward Future Lucy’s body, then broke down crying beside her dead body.
And more than that, I really like believe that he was the one who carefully made up Future Lucy’s body and made her look neat again.
You can see it in Chapter 337, Future Lucy is lying peacefully in a cleaner place, with no blood around her anymore. Her clothes were a bit tousled, and her inside short dress even peeked out at first, but then everything was all neat and tidy again. Her hand is folded neatly over her chest, allowing her to rest with dignity and pass on in peace. That detail says everything about how much Natsu treasured her. Even in his grief, even while injured, he still cared enough to give Lucy the gentlest farewell he could.
