Mondays

If the week only had 1 day, and that day was Monday, I would still hate Mondays. Don't even bother hurting your brain with the logic on that, its more of a sarcastic thought. Because here I am, on a flippin' Monday, in the scorching hot weather of late June. I run my arm across my forehead and sigh, of course today, on one of the probably hottest days ever, I'd get stuck cleaning up the town. Of course, however the person whom I have to clean up with just happens to be my idiot partner, who is practically immune to any hot weather. If anything could make me more mad about getting stuck on clean up duty (on a hot day and not to mention we didn't even get the reward), it would be sweating out every possible liquid in my body and standing next to someone who doesn't even notice the tortuous weather!

"I don't understand! How come you don't have to feel this horrible weather!" I puff out wiping away more sweat on my cheek,

"Pfft, it's not even hot Luce!" Natsu cackled at my miserable state, I stomped my foot angrily,

"It is too! You're just not normal! Baka!" I threw a small piece of debris at him, it hit his arm and then hit the ground with a 'thunk'. You could see the sun rays beating off it. I groaned and threw my hands up turning around to begin picking up, the faster we finished, the faster I could go home and take a nice cold bath. "Ugh, where's Gray and his Ice magic when you need it?" I joked.

"Tch, who need that Ice-Bastard! I'm way stronger than him." Natsu countered at the name of his rival/friend.

"You can be strong all you want Natsu," I sighed shaking my head, "But still you're element isn't exactly useful at this moment."

"What! Of course it is-"

"Oh really? You're great at destroying but right now we need to clean up, and plus it's boiling out here! Fire just makes things hotter."

"Tch. It's not even hot out though."

"That's because you eat fire!" I protested

"Nah you just can't handle the heat." He said smirking like he just thought of the greatest thing, I stomped my foot in frustration, he can be so annoying!

"You're so annoying!" I shrieked in annoyance throwing another piece of debris at him.

"Actually Luce, I think that word best fits you." He laughed as my face got red from anger and I crossed my arms. I continued to throw pieces of debris at him, one after the other, until it got quite amusing and he was trying to dodge the flying chunks of stone, he looked like a dancing monkey. "H-hey! Stop it! Ow." He landed on his butt when one hit him in the face, I put a hand over my mouth trying my best not to laugh. "Oh so you want to play that way!" he taunted standing up, I let out a small scream as I scrambled up and ran away from him. I checked behind me and, he was right on my heels. I shrieked and started to run faster, we ran in circles around one of the crumbled buildings until he cut me off from the front. Quickely I turned around but his hand grabbed my arm and pulled me back. I collided into him and we fell backward with me laying on his stomach I squeaked in surprise and tried crawling off, when he flipped us around to where he was on top of me, as soon as I felt his fingers start to tickle my sides I began laughing. It was more of a pained laughter.

"A-ah!" I gasped for breath in between my fits of laughter, "S-s-stop it haha-ha! N-natsu s-stop haha!"

"Sorry what I can't understand what you're saying with all that laughter, keep going did you say?" He laughed and re-adjusted himself so he could reach my sides better and pin me down at the same time.

"Y-you i-idiot haha! S-stop haha S-stop!" My eyes teared from laughing and my sides hurt, I was sure I would pee my pants at this rate.

"What's that Luce?" He taunted smirking down at me

"I-I haahaha, I-I g-give! I g-give! haha."

"Haha I win!" He cheered as he stopped tickling me and sat upright, still on-top of me. I just shook my head as I panted for breath, my face felt hot and I felt sticky with sweat, gross.

"B-baka." I wheezed out glaring at his stupid smirk, he continued to smile down at me, and as my breath slowed, my heart speed up and I could feel my cheeks burning with a blush. We just stared at each-other in silence I've always known that I had a slight crush on Natsu, he was my hero, as cheesy as that sounds. This position is rather awkward, you'll be damned if I haven't read a book where something like this happens. I don't think I gave Natsu enough credit on being the romantic type, he took his hand and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. My eyes widened and my face turned into a deep crimson. "Natsu?" he leaned down closer to me, I was sure he could hear my heart pounding out of my rib-cage.

We were friends, best friends, partners. He would sneak into my house and annoy me to death. He saved me, and he cheered me up. I never thought of what would happen if we kissed, it never occurred to me we would be in that position. I could feel his breath on my mouth and my throat hitched, my realization hit me like a brick wall, I wanted him to kiss me, I wanted to kiss him. He annoyed me, saved me, thought of me, and was there for me. He did that just by being himself. I leaned up and pressed my lips against his. Everything left my mind, blank. I couldn't think about how wrong this might've been, or how we even got to this moment, I couldn't think of why he was so close in the first place, or what would happen next, I couldn't think of anything wrong or right, I couldn't find common sense. It was like I was on a drug. All I knew was three things, one; I kissed him, two; I liked it, and three; he kissed back.

On second thought maybe scorching hot Monday's aren't so bad after all.
