Lucy's POV:
Lucy dreamt that she was plummeting down a volcano. What made it so terrifying is that she was only falling, never reaching the bottom, so it kept her tensed for the inevitable impact. The heat didn't help either, continuing to become hotter and hotter to the point she felt as if she were melting. It made sense that if she were getting hotter that she would hit magma soon. That realization tore a scream from her throat, her heart racing in terror. As if her body couldn't take the fear anymore she finally woke up, gasping and sweating. Lucy let her eyes wonder the room and worked on slowing her pounding heart and her breathing. Something tightened around her waist, holding her against a solid and comforting object. Still tensed up from her nightmare, she allowed a sigh to escape her lips and relaxed against it, happy for the reassurance the warm body gave her.
Wait… body?
Before she could even register her new discovery, an amused and all too familiar voice spoke up, rolling his tongue in the most infuriating way. "They llllllike each other." He snickered.
Lucy's entire body went rigid, eyes going wide in shock. The body she was all cozy with was none other than Fairy Tail's pink-haired dragon slayer. His arms were around her waist, holding her back against what felt like his bare chest. Their legs were entwined together and her head was resting just under his chin. She was still for a few more moments, letting it all sink in, then she shrieked and pushed him out of the bed. He flipped and twisted in panic, getting tangled up in the bed sheets and hitting the floor face-first. When the blankets were pulled off, Lucy realized that she was just in a t-shirt and pink polka dotted panties. She tried to cover herself with a pillow, wishing she could curl up into a ball of mortification and vanishing.
"What was that for, Lucy?" Natsu groaned, pushing up on his elbows to look at her with sleepy and annoyed onyx eyes.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" She demanded, brown eyes blazing with anger.
Natsu sat up and crossed his legs, yawning before flashing her his trade mark grin. "I was at the guild pretty late fighting with Gray, so instead of walking all the way to my place we just decided to crash here." He said, shrugging his shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal.
"You can't just come into my room in the middle of the night and sleep in my bed!" Lucy snapped.
"But I always have the best nights in your bed." Natsu whined.
"I don't care, it's still my bed!" She all but hissed.
"That's the reason he sleeps so well." Happy chortled.
"That's it, get out!" Lucy yelled, reaching for the whip she kept by her nightstand.
Natsu just huffed and stood up, reaching for his discarded shirt. "Ya ya, I'm leaving. I hope you're in a better mood when you come to the guild later." He muttered, walking to the window.
"Use the door!" She wailed in frustration.
Natsu just ignored her and jumped out, followed swiftly by his annoying blue cat. Lucy huffed and stood up, throwing the pillow angrily back on to her bed. Muttering to herself, she went to the bathroom and got undressed, filling the tub with hot water. She slipped in slowly, sighing contentedly as the warm water soothed her tight muscles and soaked the anger out of her body.
"That Natsu. Can't he just buy his own bed instead of staying in mine all of the time? It's not my fault that he sleeps in a hammock." She murmured in exasperation.
Lucy closed her eyes and let her mind wonder. She found herself thinking about the warmth of his body; how it felt kind of good being crushed against the hard muscles of his stomach. She slapped both of her cheeks and splashed her face with hot water.
"That's no way to think about your best friend and team mate!" She scolded herself.
Finishing with her bath, she dried off her body and put on a pair of white shorts that reached mid-thigh and a dark blue t-shirt that cut pretty low. Lucy didn't feel like drying her hair, so she just put it in a descent French braid then turned to attach her whip and precious Celestial keys to her belt. Grabbing a bag in case of an impromptu mission she headed for her door. When out in the hallway Lucy attempted to close it when she was hit with the most powerful feeling of foreboding that made her stumble and clutch her stomach.
"What the hell was that?" She gasped painfully.
She waited for a few moments while catching her breath. Later she decided to speak to Cana about her uneasy feeling. Casting a final worried look around her room, she locked the door and ran to escape the apartment complex before she could get trapped by her terrifying land lady, walking swiftly to her beloved guild.
