Hi there! This is where I'm going to publish all the one-shots that I initially put up on my Tumblr blog.
A/N: This chapter's story and title was inspired by the APO Hiking Society song of the same name.
It was that familiar warmth of his that woke her up.
Lucy's eyes slowly opened to the sight of her dark apartment, faintly illuminated by the moonlight from the window. The sounds of his snoring reverberated in her ears as she scanned the arm in front of her that was currently embracing her body.
'Oh, great,' she thought, feeling very annoyed by her current predicament. 'The day hasn't even started yet, and already he's broken into my room.'
Being too groggy to actually kick him out of the bed, she decided to gather up all her energy on the next best thing. "Natsu," her voice croaked out, with her free hand trying to shake his arm away from her, "Natsu, wake up."
No reply came from his side, except for his loud snoring. Lucy let out a deep sigh. "Natsu," she said with more force in her tone, "get off of my bed. Right now."
She finally heard some mumbling coming from behind her. "C'mon, Lucy," she heard his muffled voice say. "Just for tonight..."
"Yeah, yeah," Lucy turned to her other side to face him. " 'Just for tonight.' I'm sure you're gonna pull that one out the next time you'll break into my room again. Now get off," she said as she tried to push him away with her arms.
It was no use, however. For all the effort she put in her pushing, Natsu barely budged from his position. "You look a little cold over there," he peered from his barely open eyes. "I could help warm you up, if you like."
"Really?" Lucy asked sarcastically. "You really think that would change my mind?" If she was being completely honest right now, the offer was starting to become more and more tempting as she got drowsier by the second. She, however, wasn't going to put up with her friend's shenanigans without a fight.
"Please, Lucy," Natsu mumbled. "Just go back to sleep."
With her eyes barely trying to stay open anymore and her fatigue finally kicking in, Lucy gave a sigh of defeat. "Fine," she told Natsu as she moved a little closer to him, "but you're leaving the moment you wake up, got it?"
Once again, her words came up with no response from him, but Lucy didn't care at this point anymore. She curled up closer to Natsu's body, with his arm still wrapped around.
And as she slowly drifted back to sleep, she could have sworn she saw a faint smile form on his slumbering face.
