Unsure Feelings

Chapter 2

Natsu slowly opened his eyes, welcomed by a sweet vanilla scent. He then realized he was laying in something warm and soft. Then it hit him-this was Lucy!

He looked up at her face, to see her eyes closed, showing off her long eyelashes. Her lips were lightly parted letting out soft steady breaths. For some reason, he couldn't take his eyes off her and he felt himself staring at her soft,pink lips...

Natsu shook his head and slowly rose off of Lucy's lap. Lately he had been thinking stuff about Lucy that just didn't make since to him...and he didn't know why. It was really starting to frustrate him as to why he had been feeling certain things towards her but couldn't exactly pin point them.

He watched as Lucy's eyes fluttered open, revealing her big brown orbs. He quickly looked away, a blush appearing on his face.

Lucy looked at Natsu as she rubbed her eyes. She could have sworn she saw a tint of oink on his cheeks, but she figured she was just sleepy. "Have we arrived yet?" she asked yawning.

Natsu looked at her and stared at her intently. Lucy stared at him for a moment too, but then quickly shot her eyes away from his, a blush tinting her cheeks. "W-What are you staring at?" she asked slightly flustered.

Natsu furrowed his eyebrows. "Just trying to figure something out..."

Lucy Pov

Even though I was still confused as to why he was staring at me I decided to get up, since I noticed the train had stopped.

"Natsu stop staring and get up before we miss our stop." I urged him

He silently stood up and walked out the train, me following close behind.

"So, where should we go first?" he asked trying to look at the map I had in my hand.

"First, we should go to the mayor's office and tell him we'll do the job." Natsu said a quick okay and jogged ahead.

I just kept walking, because I really didn't know where he got all his energy from.

...

Normal Pov

At the Mayor's Office

"So, you Fairy Tail mages will do the job,right?" The mayor asked eyeing us. "Yes, we will" Lucy said politely. " If it's a fight, I'm all for it!" Natsu exclaimed clacking his knuckles.

Lucy playfully slapped Natsu on the back and eyed him threatingly. "Respect,show respect!" she whispered

Lucy then looked back at the mayor. "All we have to do is capture a group of thugs running around, right?" The mayor nodded, and Lucy looked down at the job request paper.

"It says, that they only were the color yellow. So all we have to do is find a group of sketchy looking people wearing yellow? That should be a piece of cake!" Lucy said, putting a hand on her arm and looking confident.

The mayor then shook his head. "These people might not seem like a threat, but they are very dangerous. Do not take them easily." he warned

Natsu took his fist and slapped it up against his other open palm smiling deviously. "Nothing to hard for me! I'll beat their asses!"

"We will supply you with a room, and food, in a nearby hotel until you have captured them." Starting tomorrow, I will give you 3 days and if the job is not completed I will have to relieve you of it." The mayor explained

He handed Lucy a piece of paper with the address of the hotel on it and dismissed them.

They walked outside, greeted by the fresh evening air. "This job, is gonna be super easy, Lucy! We can finish this up in a second." Natsu exclaimed with his hands behind his head.

Lucy POV

"I know! And it pays alot! This job will at least keep my rent paid off for another 2 months." I said happily, a content smile on my face.

"Hey,Natsu." I started. "He raised his eyebrows and looked at me. "Hmm?"

"Mind if we stop by the hotel first? After all, he said our 3 days didn't start until tomorrow."

Natsu's arms slumped down and his face formed a frown. "Lucyyyyy!" he wailed

"Sorry, it's just that I'm really tired and I'm in need of a shower."

"You were just now sleep on the train! You can't be that tired." Natsu said

"That seat was very uncomfortable,so it was hard to get a good sleep. Please..Pleeassse Natsu!" I said showing him my puppy dog face.

He heaved a sign in defeat..."Alright.."

...

Once they got into the hotel, they opened their room to reveal a very neatly decorated and spacious room. The only downside of it was that they only had...1 bed.

Lucy stared down at it in horror. "1 bed!"she screeched. "How are we supposed to share 1 bed? and that only looks like a twin sized bed. It's barely big enough for 1 person..."

Natsu looked down at her confused. "What's the problem? I sleep in the bed with you all the time." he reasoned

But for some reason, this felt different for Lucy. Why had she never thought this way before? It was true, he always slept in the same bed with her. So what was the problem?

"If it really bothers you, I could sleep on the floor." Natsu suggested

"Umm,yeah, please do." Then she hurried into the bathroom. "I'll be in the shower!" she yelled out before shutting the door.

Lucy hurriedly slipped her clothes off and turned on the hot water. After waiting a little for it to get hot, she slipped into the hot waterfall.

She took time to relax there, just letting the water cascade over her body. It felt so good on her skin. She took, the bottle of shampoo they had on a little stool, and surprisingly it was vanilla. Her favorite kind.

She lathered the shampoo into her blonde stresses. While she let the shampoo sit for a bit, she took the vanilla scented bar soap and rubbed it onto every part of her body. Enjoying the warm slippery feeling it gave her skin as she massaged it onto herself.

Once she thoroughly lathered herself, she stepped back into the warm water and let it run down her body, rinsing off all the soap. She also massaged her scalp to make sure all of the shampoo was out.

After a few more minutes she turned the water off, and stepped out onto the soft,plush towel that was on the floor. She reached out to grab her, undergarments, but she realized she hadn't bought any. She searched through the draws and scanned the counter. And she didn't see any.

Hopefully, they had some in the dressers that were in the room. She figured she would just have to wear the same clothes she wore before. A slight blush tinted her cheeks. That meant she would have to go out in this little skimpy towel and get her undergarments. And the worst part about it is that Natsu was in there, but she chose not to fret about it.

She grabbed the towel,wrapped it around her body, and creaked the door open.

Natsu was lying on the bed playing with a piece of his hair, when he heard the door creak open. And out came Lucy Heartfilia in all her glory. Plaid in a white towel that barely went past her butt, and the towel showing quite a bit of her cleavage.

Natsu eyes were locked on her body, a light blush appearing on his face as he watched her walk across the room and look into the dressers for something. She bent over a bit to look into the draw and Natsu had to try his hardest to look away, no matter how much he wanted to look.

Once she had got whatever it was she needed, Natsu locked his eyes back on her, as she hurriedly walked back into the bathroom not uttering a peep.

He didn't know why he couldnt keep his eyes off of her. I mean he had seen her naked plenty of time before! He guessed it was just the way her wet hair clung to her body, and the short towel she had on that barely covered anything. It just made it even more exciting than just looking at her bare.

As Lucy entered into the bathroom, she heaved a sigh. Somehow she managed to do it. She tried to act casual about it which took a lot of work to do. For some reason she felt like she was getting stared at, but she shook the feeling off.

She grabbed the snow white undergarments that they,luckily, had prepared for her in the dresser. Because she had surely forgot to pack anything.

She opened the door and walked out, fully clothed. She looked over at Natsu and he hopped up and sprinted into the bathroom.

That was weird...she thought.

After a while, Natsu stepped out of the bathroom. In only a towel around his private area.

Lucy blushed as she stared at his toned chest. She looked at all the abs that rippled down his toned chest and abdomen. Also getting a great view of his muscular biceps. She felt her heartbeat quicken.

She saw drop of water fall out his hair and onto his chest. Her eyes were glued to that one little drop of water as it trailed down his chest and abs making a outline of them. Until finally it disappeared into his towel.

Her face turned as dark as Erza's hair as she pictured where that drop was about to trail to now...

Lucy quickly slapped herself to get the thought out her head. She breathed heavily noticing the whole time she watched that drop of water, she was holding her breath. Wow, what was wrong with her? Natsu walked around with only a vest on, basically flaunting his chest everday. So why was she just now taking notice of it?

As she looked up, she saw Natsu staring at her. "Why'd you slap yourself? He said chuckling to himself. "You really are weird!"

Lucy just turned her head away and blushed. "W-Where are your clothes?" she mumbled looking embarrassed

"Oh, those? They're in the bathroom. It was really hot in there, so I came out here to cool of some."

"O-Okay..."

...

Bedtime!

Lucy climbed into bed and bought the covers up to her neck. "Goodnight." she whispered to Natsu.

"You too." he said cuddling into the blanket as he layed on the floor.

Lucy closed her eyes and tried to get to sleep. After a few minutes of trying she noticed it was super cold and the discomfort was keeping her from getting to sleep. Then a thought popped up in her head. Natsu is always warm. He's basically like a living furnace!

She crawled over to the side of the bed and looked over at Natsu. He had his eyes closed.

"Natsu? You still awake?" She whispered

"Yeah, what you need?"He mumbled

"Can you come sleep with me? I'm kinda cold."

"Yeah,sure." he sleepily said.

He slowly got off the floor and squeezed onto the bed with Lucy. Once he had situated himself, he wrapped his arm around Lucy's torso pulling her closer, catching a whiff of her sweet vanilla scent.

Lucy blushed at the intimacy, but smiled. He emitted so much warmth, that just made her feel so cozy and safe. This was her first time noticing it, but Natsu smelled of cinnamon and a fresh summer day.

She closed her eyes as the steady pace of his heartbeat nulled her to sleep.
