A/N: I've been writing all sorts of drabbles based on the communication, or lack thereof, that Natsu and Lucy have. Oh they are always together and all that jazz, but we never really see them have heart to hearts, so this is a drabble based on that. And even though I never use their names, it is indeed about Natsu and Lucy.

She relaxes into the warm chest behind her. Ink splatters slightly as a quill scritches quietly across the page. Warm arms encircle her waist, a warm weight settles on her shoulder. She ignores him as the thought finishes. He waits quietly as if knowing the thought is yet to be complete and the slightest disturbance will upset the atmosphere, causing the quill to lay still for days once more.
A short silence later the quill slows to a stop. The thoughts run dry and the ink splatters end. She stretches slightly. He moves out of her way and helps her to stand up. She smiles at him, a soft smile full of love. He looks at her with eyes softened by love.
They share a short hug so full of love it becomes tangible and bubbles pops on the surroundings, leaving little heart-shaped smatterings of love all around. Their happiness manifests as stars and float out the open window. People on the street below take a moment to enjoy the sight before being swallowed by the night.
The two separate and drift towards the bed, lazily shedding clothes. She pulls on an oversized shirt of his that serves as her pajamas. He slides into the bed first. She slips in after him. The mattress and blankets welcoming her home as an old friend.
The night quiets as if listening to the silent couple tangled together like the legends of the stars. So twound together and twisted up it was impossible to tell where one began and the other ended.
Night passed this way until tendrils of the sun's overpowering light creep up on the night, shoving it away until the sun tires once more.
The entwined lovers stir and begin the slow movements that will eventually lead to their separation. After the sun is fully in the sky the woman finally stands and goes to the bathroom. The man stays in bed until she comes back out of the shower. He pulls her in the bed when she passes by and her giggles fill the air.
The sun smiles warmly at the happy couple laying in bed. Stars of happiness and bubbles of love float through the air and out the window. Their happiness can be seen throughout the city. The stars landing on flowers and tree, making them bloom and deepen in color.
No words were uttered that morning. He simply knew what she was thinking. She simply knew what he wanted. That was the way it always had been and always will be. A happy, loving, content, understanding silence.
A/N: I meant no sexual connotation in the last paragraph, it's just there. Interpret it however you wish. Please let me know what you think of my drabble. I will be posting more drabbles and one-shots here as the mood strikes me.
Thanks for your support!
