Moaning as I squirm trying to get comfortable I hear a deep groaning but brush it off and curl towards a massive heat that's beside me. While moving around I notice something lying across my waist keeping nearly all my movement reserved. I open my eyes to see what's holding me, but squeeze them shut just as the light from a window blinds me.

Adjusting, I see a man's body that looks like it was cut from marble, the light made his tan skin irresistible, sliding my eyes over every bulging muscle until I reach a handsome face with a peaceful smile nearly obscured by wild cherry hair.

Tearing my eyes away I see his arm wrapped protectively around me holding me in place.'Oh so that's why I could barely move' I thought, I tried to push him off but was to tired. Giving up I slumped against his bare chest, while listening to the constant sound of his breathing.

I move closer and lay across him to tired to care and allow his body heat engulf me as I begin to slip back into sleep.

POV

Squinting against the light a huge yawn is ripped from my throat as I start to stir, scratching my wild hair I look around confused 'This looks so familiar, I wonder where I'm at' this was by no means mine, I feel something shift beside me glancing down expecting to find the usual blue cat beside me.

But instead it's a girl with soft golden locks sprawled across my chest. Suddenly conscious of what's occurring I can't help but notice the feel of the smooth skin against me, and her pinup model body. The rise and fall of her chest, the carefree look on her face. Her pale skin practically glowing in the given light.

A sudden heat rushes to my face when my jumbled thoughts come together when I realize who this sleeping girl is, a feisty Celestial Wizard, my teammate, Lucy Heartfillia. Flustered, I make my escape and get out from under her careful not to disturb her out of fear to be on the receiving end of one of her infamous 'Lucy kicks'.

Almost home free needing only to swing my leg over I hear a soft grumble and see her eyes flutter open revealing luscious brown eyes that make me melt at a second glance. I freeze over her and watch her struggle with waking up. The dazed look on her face as she stares at me sends a pleasant chill down my spine. We lock eyes almost inseparable until she looks away. Noticing my compromising position I try and play it off and flash my signature grin,"Hey Lucy, Morning!"

End of POV

Feeling the bed shift and strong hands moving me, I ignore it until the pleasant warmth from before slowly starts to fade. Refusing to let it disappear I open my eyes and nearly go blind. Blinking away the light I try to focus my attention and slowly scan the area and realize there is a pink haired man on top of me.

Our eyes met and I nearly get lost in their Onyx depths breaking the link I look him over, he seems somewhat familiar, struggling to remember with my hazy mind. Untill he speaks,"Hey Lucy, Morning" and it clicks. Drowning in the embarrassment I figure out who he is, Natsu Dragneel. Turning red I squeal while throwing hands up to cover my face,"What are you doing!" Surprise floods his features and I see his childish grin grow wider though my fingers."Sorry Luce" he quickly gets off of me and I sit up in relief. He stands up for stretch and while watching him do his stretching it takes quite a bit of mental scolding before I can turn away.

"Why are you in here?" He turns to me and chuckles,"Why wouldn't I be here?" Glaring at him, he jumps on the bed making me gasp,"Because it's my apartment, why don't you go to your house for once" I scold. Sighing he remarks,"Someone needs to be here with you, I mean your all by yourself and I can't have that." Blushing I look towards him as he just sits the with a smile across his face.

After a small silence he suddenly turns to me,"Pull up your shirt" he commands. Astounded I say no but her grabs my shirt and pulls it up reveling the side. "Natsu what's wrong with you!" I screech tugging my shirt down I send him piercing needles from my eyes. "O-Oh Mavis, what have I-I done" I hear him stutter. "Oh, I know let's see here, you just you tried to strip me that's WHAT!" Looking at him I see all the color drain from his face fear etched into his every feature. "Lucy I need to hear you say that you won't be upset" I look at him and slowly agree,"N-now u-umm about the mark across your side I-I c-can explain" 'Mark what Mark uhhh I shouldn't have any marks?' looking over I send him a look daring him to sneak a peek and lift my shirt to see what he's talking about. A long burn mark extends from underneath my breasts down to my left hip words cannot express my confusion at finding this let alone how nasty knew about it. "What the hell happened did you Burn me?" Scoffing he replies," Of course I didn't Burn you never it's called a Drago Mark it signifies..." he trailed off nervousness taking hold again. "A what, tell me why the hell I have one and I want to know if you put it there!" Looking at his feet he mumbled something I knocked him over the head and made him speak up," I d-don't really know I don't remember putting it there l-let alone across y-you"

"You said it means something what's it mean" I patiently ask. He answered so quietly I was surprised I even heard it,"Its a symbol, meaning we're mates for Life." Unable to prevent my hand from surging forward I smack him leaving a bright red print across his face. "How COULD you do that to me, take it off, get rid of it I don't want it! " I shouted at him while he held his face looking away," Its not that simple Luce, both parties need to agree for it to even appear and its not possible to remove it unless one or the other dies" I could feel tears rushing down my face I felt like a prisoner, anger boiled over and I toke all my hate and anguish out on him,"I would NEVER agree to that I don't want to be your mate. Give me my life back, I can't believe you, why did it have to be me?" I started shaking it was to much for me to process my life was over I could clearly see it drifting away leaving me in this sea of despair alone.

"Get out", was all I could manage to say to him. He looked up regret all over him and stood and started towards the door. He stopped in front of it and looked back his head hung shading his eyes keeping them out of sight. Opening the door he stepped out taking all the comforting warmth with him. Tears racking my body I felt so very alone.
