I'm just having a lil fun with our fave charrys, Natsu and Lucy~ ;3
~Touch~
Lucy lightly dabbed at the cut on the back of Natsu's hand.
"Arg! Can you do that a little more...gently...Lucy?" Natsu whined as he tried to keep from squirming on the bench he and Lucy were sitting on, in the middle of the newly-remodeled Fairy Tail building.
"Oh, hush you big baby," Lucy replied as she carefully swabbed at the cut with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball, held lightly with tweezers.
"I'm not a baby," Natsu mumbled, as his lips pursed into a slight pout.
Lucy giggled slightly as she tried not to stare too hard at the cute pout Natsu was making.
"And how exactly did you manage to get such a bad cut on your hand?" Lucy asked curiously as she continued to dab away the last bits of blood on the back of Natsu's hand.
Natsu looked away in slight embarrassment, and lightly mumbled something under his breath.
Lucy looked up from her cut-cleaning, and slightly canted her head to the side curiously. "What was that Natsu? I didn't quite hear you."
Natsu continued to look away from Lucy as a light blush of embarrassment coloured his cheeks. He mumbled something again, a little louder this time, but still not loud enough for Lucy to really hear.
Lucy leaned a bit closer towards Natsu, and tried to gently coax the answer from her reluctant-to-answer friend. "Aww, come on Natsu, please tell me."
Natsu let out a defeated huff of air, and replied in a quick rush of words.
"Gray sucker-punched me, I flew over the bar counter, landed smack into Cana, my hand slammed into one of her favourite alcohol bottles, it shattered and sliced the back of my hand, and Cana went nearly ballistic and tried to wipe the floor with me," Natsu replied in a huge rush of breath.
Lucy paused for a second or two before she burst out laughing, almost dropping Natsu's hand, the tweezers and the cotton ball, as her lithe body shook with mirth.
"It's not that funny," Natsu mumbled, as his pout from earlier made a slight return.
Lucy let a few more giggles escape before letting her laughter trail off, leaving a small smile tugging up the corners of her lips.
"Ah Natsu, you always do manage to get yourself into the most...interesting situations," Lucy said with light affection. She then picked up a band-aid she had place on the table beside her earlier, and gently applied it to the now-cleaned cut on the back of Natsu's hand. Then before she could change her mind or properly talk herself out of it, Lucy leaned forward and with the gentlest softest touch, brushed her lips lightly across the back of Natsu's bandaged hand.
Natsu just stared at Lucy's bowed head for a few shocked, silent seconds before he watched her look back up at him with a shy embarrassed smile. Then before he could respond or do anything, Lucy jumped up from the table and made a hasty retreat, waving lightly at him over her shoulder with her fingers.
Natsu continued to stare quietly for a few more seconds, before he felt a small furry body lean against his arm on the table beside him.
"She liiikeess yooouuu," Happy thrilled, as he held his small paw over his mouth to hide his grin.
"HAPPY!" Natsu cried out in embarrassment as Happy fell over backwards onto the table, and laughed his furry little tail off.
Fin...for now~
