There comes a time for a person when he/she first tastes the bitter sweetness of alcohol. In fact, there's always this liquid magic that comes with it. Sometimes it could be being super honest, being cute, weeping or plain bossy. But those things only happen when you're completely drunk. Lightweight or not, they will come.

In school and during school activities, they forbid alcohol. But, somehow someone always manages to slip in a bottle or two from the crazy president. And dare he say it, a bossy, crazy and scary drunk she is.

No one bothered to warn him about some of the girl's in his class was drunk. Standing by the door he watched them, not making any unnecessary movements. Afraid that it might cause him his death.

His eyes wandered around the room, looking for someone. There sat a girl with blonde hair with flushed cheeks and eyes hazy. In her hand was a shot glass, her lips in a pout. He smiled at her drunken state. How cute could she get? He thought, letting out a chuckle.

The drunk blonde heard him. She turned around to face him, her glassy eyes stared at his blurry form. She crawled like a cat towards him. His figure duplicating the more she moved towards him. "Wah~ there's two Natsu's!"

He sighed, feeling a sense of deja vu. He lost count at how many times he had to look after her when she got drunk. He knew that she was a lightweight in drinking. Yet, he always found her adorable during her vulnerable state. She transforms into this adorable, cuddly girl during those times.

"Come here Lucy, time for bed." He crouched down and spread open his arms for her, waiting for her to crawl in. The more she closed in on him, the more of a frown she showed. His eyebrow arched in question. "What is it, Luce? Are you hurt?"

When she reached him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He felt her nod, as she tucked her face against his neck. He stood up with her in his arms. His right hand caressing her head as he headed for his room. A privilege he got when he helped the headmaster.

A familiar figure caught his attention away from the blonde in his arms. He paused, "Your girl is being a demon again Jellal."

"I can see that, Natsu." The eye tattoo bearing boy retorted. A friendly smile was on his lips as he eyed the boy with pink hair carrying the drunk blonde. Jellal knew that Natsu had a soft spot for the blonde, even if she always rejected him. Well, anyone could see the playboy's feelings for the girl, except for the girl herself.

"Get her to bed and no funny business Natsu," Jellal warned, feeling like an older brother of the blonde. Laxus, her older brother who didn't come to the field trip, knew that guarding Lucy would have to be his job. Unless Natsu finally succeeds in asking her out.

Both of the guys flinched as they heard a loud crash from the direction Natsu came from. They sighed and stared at each other.

"I better go get Erza, before she destroys the place."

"I still don't see what you see in that red head demon."

Jellal chuckled, patting Natsu's shoulder as he headed his way. "As they say, love is blind."

Natsu continued his way back to his room, feeling Lucy's soft breath on his neck felt perfect. Why won't you like me back already you weirdo? He mused as he entered his room. Shutting the door with his foot, he went straight to his bed. Putting the buzz out blonde down.

He stared at her sleeping form, a frown on his lips. Should I change her? But if I do, she'll get mad at me in the morning. And if that happens she might not even talk to me anymore!

A whine pulled him out of his internal turmoil. He watched as Lucy started flinching from sleep. She started tugging on her clothes and then sat up while fumbling with the buttons. He felt the blood rush to his cheeks the minute he saw her creamy breasts hugged by a lacy black bra. Of course, he saw her with minimalist clothes, but her undressing in front of him was a different story. At the back of his mind, he could hear "Stop her!" repeat over and over, snapping him out of his trance.

"Lucy stop! Stop that right now!" He warned her, snatching her wrists in his hands.

A pout appeared on the blonde's lips, "But it's hot!" She whined drunk eyes pleaded up at him. "Natchuu~"

He blushed. "No Lucy." He flinched when he saw her eyes start to tear up. Idiot! Way to go make your crush cry! "Okay, I'll give you some of my clothes to change into. Will you be a good girl and put them on?"

The tears retreated. A smile appearing on her lips, an 'Uh!' was her only response to him. Did he forget to mention how he adored her drunken state?

He let go of her wrists and then stood up. Watching her stay still as if she was waiting. He smiled and then went to search for his bag. He started pulling out one of his favorite black shirt and some basketball shorts. He went back to the blonde and placed the clothes in her lap.

"Will you change into them once I go inside the bathroom?" He asked the blonde as if he was talking to a child. Her nod was the only answer he needed. Grinning, he patted her head and then proceeded to the bathroom for a quick shower before going to bed.

He would be jumping for joy at the idea that he was alone with Lucy around this time. Yet, when she was drunk and all cute on him. He wished that she was his girlfriend so that he wouldn't worry about cuddling with her. It wasn't like he wanted girls around him, they crowded over him like moths. But, he had this eye on one flame that didn't seem to notice his honest feelings for her.

Turning the shower off, he sighed. Drying himself as he thought of another plan to make the girl on the other side of the door finally fall for him. Whenever she blushed around him, he always thought that her feelings might be the same as his. But, when he tries to ask her out, she would always turn him down. And in her poisonous words, "Go back to your girls" would be coming out of her mouth.

He would always get frustrated at her. He couldn't understand why she can't see that he was madly in love with her and only her. If it was because of the girls, she didn't have to worry about them since he didn't like even one of them. But he did like the times that the blonde would get jealous over them. In all honesty, she didn't need to get jealous of them since she's the one that he likes.

"Why'd she have to be so stubborn?" He whined, putting on a plain black shirt and some boxers. Once done, he stepped out of the bathroom and strolled towards the bed where a sleeping blonde lay.

Noticing that the basketball shorts he gave her were still on the bed. He could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks, again. He knew that she was only wearing his shirt over her undergarments. Are you trying to test my patience, Luce?!

Natsu paced, thinking whether he should sleep with her and taste her wrath in the morning. There was a couch in his room and he could sleep there, leaving Lucy alone in the bed like the gentleman he was. His pacing stopped when he heard a whine.

"Does it hurt anywhere Luce?" He asked, stopping on her side of the bed. Kneeling down, he brushed away her bangs. "Where does it hurt?"

Her whimpers continued as she placed her left hand on top of her chest. "It hurts~"

"Your chest hurts? Wait let me call someone-"

A tug on his shirt stopped him from leaving. His onyx eyes found her hand clutching his shirt, tears trailing down her cheeks. "Hurts~"

"I promise I'll be quick Luce, let me call-"

"Heart...It hurts~" She whined, sniffing.

"Your heart hurts?" He asked, confused. "Why does your heart hurt Luce?"

A pout appeared on her lips, her tears not stopping. "Natchuu doesn't like me."

"Huh?" Dumbfounded, he stared at her. "I don't like you?"

"Natchuu doesn't like me! He likes Lisanna!" She cried, almost weeping at this point.

Like an idiot, his mouth was wide open. "What makes you think I like Lisanna?" He asked, flabbergasted at her response.

"Chuu~" She sniffed, "Saw them kissing~"

"I kissed Lisanna?!" Natsu asked, eyes growing wide. When the hell did I kiss that white haired witch?! Smiling at the weeping blonde, "When did you see them, Lucy?"

To his surprise, the blonde 'humped' at him and turned on her other side. Her back now facing him. He felt his face muscle twitch, "Come on Lucy, tell me when you saw them kiss."

"No~" Was Lucy's stubborn reply.

He felt another twitch. "Why won't you tell me?"

He saw her glance over her shoulder, the tips of her ears turning pink. "You'll tell them... And then Natchuu'll stop talking to me~"

He blinked at her and then pinched his nose. After taking a deep breath, his lips spreading into a soft smile.

"I won't tell. Promise." He cooed, holding his pinky finger up for her. Her dark orbs stared at his pinky finger for what seemed like ages. Before, she wrapped her own pinky finger with his.

"You, promise?" She asked, heart-melting cuteness. My heart can't contain all that cuteness, Luce! "I promise."

Biting her lips, she fidgeted with his fingers. "I-I saw them yesterday during the break at the lake." She muttered.

"Yesterday?"

Natsu started thinking back to yesterday's events. Their year level hiked on top of a mountain, they took a break at the lake they found half way up. And then he spotted Lisanna and decided to ask for her advice on how he could make Lucy fall for him. They weren't that far from the other students when they were talking. But, they did try to hide that they were having a discussion. We were only talking! We were only hiding because I asked! If Gray and the rest saw me asking help, they'd never let it down! What the hell is this girl thinking?!

His onyx eyes stared at the flushed face of his crush. Biting his lip from laughing out loud, he shook his head. Just a big misunderstanding. You and your imagination Luce. "How about you go to sleep now?" He whispered, his thumb stroking her cheek.

Somehow her hands managed to clutch his shirt, again. "Stay?" She asked, eyes still misty and glazed with sleep.

"Stay." He smiled, standing up to walk across the room to close the light switch off. He sauntered up to the couch and decided to use it for the night. But, when he was about to lay down a soft "bed" came from the blonde.

For the sake of his well-being, he unlocked his phone and held the camera up to record her. "You want me to sleep on the bed with you?" The light from the bed table was bright enough for him to record her. She nodded at his question and laid back on the pillows. The sight of her bare legs ignited another wave of blush across his cheeks.

Moving to sit on the bed, he continued. "Do you promise not to hit me in the morning?" Another nod came from the blonde. Testing his luck, he asked his final question. "Do you like me?"

"No."

His heart sank, about to lock his phone- "I love Natchuu." stopped him.

"You love me?" He asked, flabbergasted. His lips tugging into a grin.

Yet, Lucy pouted at him. "Not you! Natchuu! Lucy loves Natchuu!"

His heart thumped louder and started beating faster. He could feel those stupid butterflies in his stomach flutter in joy. "Okay, you love Natsu. I get it." He grinned, locking his phone. Placing it on top of the bedside table and then turning the light's switch off.

He then slid the covers on top of them, his hand was itching to pull her close. To his surprise, Lucy snuggled closer to him, her arm draped across his stomach in a form of a hug. Natsu wanted to enjoy this moment, Lucy in his arms. Carefully, he slid his hand beneath her head and then pulled her closer. Just like the lover's embrace he had imagined many times.

"Goodnight Lucy." He mumbled, kissing her temples. Allowing sleep to pull him into the dark abyss.


"Natsu Dragneel! You friggin' brat! Where's my sis-"

The loud shout and slamming of the door awoke the sleeping figures on the bed. While the intruder, gobsmacked stared at them. His blood was boiling at the sight in front of him.

"What the hell-"
