Lucy sunk into her chair in the apartment and took out her notebook with the novel she was creating. She couldn't wait to show Levy the work she had put into it. Just as she hopped out of the chair to head back to the guild she realized, something was off. When she turned the knob on the door, Natsu came bounding through the door and plopping on her bed. "Natsu why are you here?!"

He sighed and spoke, his face pressed against the bed, tiredly, "Happy and Carla went on a date so now I have no one to hang out with. Then I was like, Lucy might want to hang out!" Lucy shifted her gaze towards the door and bit her lip before responding, "Well I was going to go see Levy right now…" She trailed off when she saw the pain in his eyes. Setting her notebook back on the desk she sat down, "I guess I can hang out with you, Levy was heading toward the library anyways." Natsu hopped off the bed, "Yay!" He gave Lucy a hug and she felt her face blush red. When he hopped on the bed he motioned for her to get on too. He patted the pillow beside him and she noticed she was slowly moving towards the bed. She positioned herself on the bed and crossed her arms, clasping her hands together and looking up at the ceiling. "Lucy." She turned her head and her lips ended up being pressed against his. Trying to push him off, she became reluctant and went along with the kiss, pressing her lips to his harder. He tried to go further, but she ended up pulling away and Natsu became a bit disappointed in the reaction. "I can't move into that so fast Natsu," the back of her hand pressing over her mouth. Her face began to redden as she moved toward the corner of the bed facing opposite of Natsu.

"Lucy don't worry. I won't do it again. I'm sorry." He got up and headed toward the door, face red with embarrassment. She held out her hand wanting him to stay, but couldn't get the courage to say it. Watch. She heard her mind say. Watch him just leave, you won't do anything about it. Her emotions got the better of her and she was witnessing herself move to grab Natsu's arm just as he was leaving. Two words made him stay that day. "Don't go."
