Maybe Natsu feeling sad but deciding not to go after her, since it's something she needs to do on her own would work even more.

And why romance? Just like I didn't think that Lucy's behaviour at the end of Tartaros showed any love, this parting wouldn't show it either.

They are best buddies and have some kind of link with each other that's almost like family... or maybe even IS like family.

My suggestion/wish has nothing to do with romance in and of itself.
