Lonely?
"Hey!What are you doing here!" Lucy's usual reaction to Natsu's presence wasn't surprising for the pink headed guy, eating his fill while Happy naps on the bed.
"Quiet down wills you? Happy wanted to visit" he explained.
"Oh…" Lucy didn't know what to say, she gave out a sigh and let go of the situation.
"Where were you anyway?" he asked.
"Mom." She replied.
"You seem to visit her quite often"
"I like telling her news on how I am"
"She's really special, huh"
"Of Course she…" Lucy stared at Natsu "…is…"
Natsu seemed in gloom rather than himself. She went near and sat next to him.
"Hey Natsu…" she began.
"What?"
"You have no family?"
"Of course I do! Are you stupid? My family's fairy Tail!" Lucy didn't liked being called stupid, but she let it go, she can see in his eyes, even if Fairy tail is there. There's still loneliness in those eyes.
Lucy sighed and pulled Natsu to lay his head on her lap.
"Hey! What is this?" he was about to stand up, when she pulled him down again.
"Stay! Do you want me to do what Erza did at the train?"
"You can't even do that" that stab her. Well his right.
"Well, just stay down!"
"Why?"
"you know what, sometimes when I feel lonely, I remember mother, she lets me lay my head on her lap when I'm sad and brush my hair till I fell asleep… she always say 'I'm here for you, so don't be sad, if anything or anyone hurts you, I'm here'"
Natsu felt silent, he didn't struggle and just lay on Lucy's lap.
"Fine…" he muttered. Lucy raised her eyebrows and then smiled. She began brushing slowly Natsu's hair and began saying things.
"you know, it's true, what I'm about to say… if you never appeared, I wouldn't be here, having fun with everyone…so everything in my life happened because I met you…I know I'm not very strong like Gray and Erza, but, whatever happens, I'll be here for you, if you need anything, just ask…I'll always be by your side" she spoke with tender and care.
Natsu felt warm, not because of his powers though. It was different, he felt care and a few moments, he felt so relaxed he shut his eyes and fell asleep.
"Lucy…" was his last word before he drifted to sleep.
She smiled her cheeks slightly in the shade of pink. She turned her head, checking if anyone was there and if Happy was asleep. When all was clear, she bent down and kissed his forehead.
'The last part of what mother used to do' she smiled. Suddenly, Natsu also began to smile.
'I guess it worked' Lucy felt happy; she didn't mind staying like this for awhile.
Happy was still asleep, dreaming of fish.
But…
"Man…I never expected seeing something like this" Gray said in a whisper.
"This was truly unexpected" Erza agreed with a nod. They were hiding from the window.
"Young…uh huh…" someone nodded in agreement also. Gray and Erza turned to the person and were surprised.
"Uh…Gramps?" Gray said 'Why are you here?"
"Checking my children of course" he said. Gray and Erza didn't seem convinced.
On the other hand…Natsu and Lucy seemed comfy at their little state. Yeah…they think they want to stay like that for awhile…you can see from their smiles.
