Summary: A particularly warm Magnolia morning finds Lucy in an uncomfortable predicament.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.
As the light, airy days of spring melted into an oppressive summer heat Lucy Heartfilia was certain of one thing.
She was going to die of heatstroke.
She lay twisted, in sheets sticky from sweat, panting. Her last attempt to free herself from her own bed had left her slightly out of breath and majorly annoyed. She huffed and turned an irritated eye to the peaceful form that had trapped her.
Natsu lay oblivious, slightly snoring, and without a drop of sweat on him. Lucy growled and once again tried to wiggle out from his iron grip but it was hopeless. He was wrapped around her like an octopus and the heat he gave off mingled with the scorching summer air to make a sweltering inferno that would be the end of her.
Lucy had spent the past hour in vain trying to escape his clutches. Natsu clung to her so tightly she could barely move so she had resorted to wriggling and yelling until she was almost hoarse. She was convinced there was no way that anyone but the dead could have slept through the struggle she had put up. But, for someone who often fell asleep in the ruckus of the guild hall, the protests she had made must have been nothing, even to his sensitive dragon ears.
Lucy sniffed miserably as another roll of sweat slid from her hairline across her face which prompted her once more to try and reach her keys to no avail. For once she wouldn't mind having Aquarius blast her with water in rage, even if she had to call her out of a pool of her own sweat. Natsu let out a particularly loud snore and squeezed tighter around her.
"When I free myself you are getting the Lucy Kick of your life," she grumbled. It wasn't particularly fair of her…once winter had rolled around in Magnolia, Lucy had stopped protesting Natsu's intrusion in her bed in lieu of the added warmth. By the time the last snow had faded into the blossoms of Spring, she had merely become accustomed to the company and rarely bothered to kick him out or admonish him.
The first heat wave of summer that had blustered through early this morning was causing Lucy to regret her lax attitude towards the pink haired dragon slayer in her bed.
"Luuuuuuccccyyyyyyyyyyyy!" The high pitched whine was accompanied with the padding of small feet on her carpet to announce the entrance of Happy. "Why are you soooo loud in the mornings?" The Exceed complained while wiping sleep from his eyes with a blue paw. The cat took one look at the situation and his wide eyes glinted mischievously.
"You liiiiiiiiike him!" The cat giggled.
"Happy," Lucy growled, "you help me get out of this mess or I swear to Mavis, I will never buy you fish again. Ever!" Happy squeaked indignantly and tears began to brim in his wide yes
"B-b-but…." He began, voice quivering.
"Don't even try the innocent act cat!" Lucy snarled, her patience finally wearing out.
"So grumpy…and sweaty..." Happy mumbled sullenly.
"What. Was. That?" Lucy's voice reached a dangerous low.
"I would be so thrilled to help you Lucy!" Happy trilled, panic causing his voice to rise even higher than normal. With a huff he used his aero magic to conjure a set of fluffy white wings. A few flutters later he was perched on the shoulder of Natsu's arm that had a stranglehold on Lucy's waist.
"Natsu," Happy whispered, "breakfast is ready!"
With a stomach rumble that sounded like thunder, Natsu's dark jade eyes shot open. In a second he was on his feet, nose sniffing the air searching for traces of food. Not smelling anything appetizing he blinked a few times in confusion.
"Happy," he questioned turning around, "why would you…Lucy! You look gross!"
Lucy, who had been reveling in the fact that the temperature around her had dropped from volcanic to mildly stuffy, growled.
"LUCY KICK!"
Sometime later, an angry Natsu climbed back through the him shaped hole in Lucy's bedroom window. Her rather heated Lucy Kick had sent him what felt like halfway across Fiore. He stalked downstairs to find the blonde who had so rudely greeted him this morning.
Lucy sat freshly showered and contently sipping her 10th glass of ice cold water while reviewing one of her latest stories. She did not even glance up as Natsu stormed in.
"Hey!" The word dripped with irritation as it left Natsus mouth.
Lucy's chocolate eyes flicked to him and narrowed. Happy, lounging behind her stood up and motioned frantically to Natsu that he was treading on hazardous waters.
"H-h-how 'bout I cook you breakfast?" Natsu finished weakly, all anger fizzling at the site of the thunderous look on his best friends face.
Lucy arched and eyebrow before nodding her consent. As Natsu began tying on Lucy's frilly cooking apron he argued quietly with himself. He wasn't afraid of Lucy, nope, no way. But…he snuck a peak once again at the blonde quietly musing over her work, his pride and his behind couldn't risk another Lucy Kick of that magnitude.
He would have to save the argument for this injustice later….after she was well fed….and maybe while they were standing in two different rooms.
A/N: So there you have it! My first attempt. Reviews once again will be greatly appreciated and I will try to be updating as regularly as my schedule allows. Cheers!
