Chapter Two
So Dead
Lucy's POV:
I woke up to this intense heat and not being able to move. I sighed as I struggled against the pink haired boy that always snuck into my bed in the middle of the night. He knew that I'd yell at him, but we both knew that I hated sleeping in this empty house alone so there he was. I squirmed some more when caused him to hold on tighter, I then felt his hot breath on my exposed neck and it caused me to shiver. What was that about? I shook my head and concluded that it was lack of caffeine. I then sighed as I said,
"I tried to be nice Natsu, but you asked for it." I then did the only thing that ever seemed to wake him up, I tickled him. As soon as my fingers brushed across the flesh of his stomach underneath his black t shirt his eyes snapped open and he started to squirm to avoid my fingers, I laughed as he growled and grabbed my hands to stop my assault, as he said,
"Do you really have to do that every morning?" I shrugged,
"Do you really have to try and suffocate me every morning?" He scoffed,
"I wasn't suffocating you." I nodded as I said sadly,
"You will be very sad if you one day smother me in my sleep accidently." He smirked at me and brought his forehead to mine,
"I'd be Devastated." My breath caught in my throat, and I heard that chuckle of his, "I mean who would cook for me? I'd starve." I push him as I glare at him with a face that was quickly becoming red,
"Jerk! All you care about is your stomach." His chuckle became a laugh as he said,
"Chill Luce, I won't smother you so you won't die and leave me alone and you can still cook for me." My glare softened but my face was still red as I said,
"Get out." He looked at me with wide eyes as he stumbled,
"Awe come on Luce don't be mad, please." I sighed and rolled my eyes as I got out of my bed,
"I'm not mad you idiot, we have to get ready for school so I need you to get out so you don't peek on me in the shower again." He seemed to sigh in relief; he really hated it when we fought,
"That was an accident Luce." I eyed him skeptically,
"Which time?" His face then turned red as he avoided my gaze and mumbled something about getting ready for school and jumped out of my open window.
Natsu's POV:
I looked up at Lucy's window after I jumped out of it, like I did most morning, but this morning was a little different, her fingers felt different. I shook my head as I raked my hands through my pink hair and ran through the backyard that separated our houses so that I could shower and get ready because there was no way Lucy was going to let me be late for class on my first day back.
I sat at our lunch table with my head on the table as I banged it randomly and muttered,
"I am so dead; I'm going to fail and have to do this all over again." I heard Gray laugh at me, but I couldn't gather the energy to care, I was screwed. Just then Lucy sat beside me with her lunch tray and patted my head as she asked,
"You work tonight?" I nodded my head into the table as I said,
"Uh huh." I then heard her say,
"I only have a little shift at the coffee house, want me to come by after to help you with your homework?" My head shot off the table as I stared at her,
"Really?" She just smiled and nodded,
"I can't have you failing and make the teachers here suffer through another year of you. Plus you have all this extra work because of punching that jerk for me so I guess I owe you." I grinned at her and said,
"You are a life saver Luce." I could feel all of our friends looking at our exchange and turned to glare at all of them as I practically yelled, "What?" They all just looked everywhere but at us as they mumbled nothings. Man our friends were weird.
I stood behind the counter of the comic book shop I worked at and leaned against the counter as I read the latest deadpool comic when I heard the bell over the door chime and looked up to see Lucy walking through with two cups of coffee and a stack of books in her arms. I rushed around the counter to help her and took the books out of her hands and sat them on said counter, she smiled up at me with a sigh of relief as she said,
"Thanks." I just nodded as she handed me a cup of coffee and I knew just from the smell that it was my favorite cinnamon caramel latte. I brought the cup up to my nose and inhaled deeply, I swear that was the best smell ever. I took a tentative sip, because I knew she just came from work where she had made us coffee, and I knew she tended to make it extra hot, so that she could sip and enjoy it and not gulp it down like I did. I closed my eyes as the taste exploded on my tongue and I am pretty sure I moaned because I heard her giggle as she asked, "Good?" I nodded my head slowly as I said,
"So good." She just patted my head and said,
"Come on let's get this homework done so that you don't flunk."
Lucy's POV:
I sat beside Natsu as he pondered the same question for the last five minutes, I knew what he was doing, he thought that if he played dumb I'd just answer them for him. I sighed and threw my now empty coffee cup into the trash next to Natsu's and said,
"It's the same thing that we just went over Natsu, you know this." He then looked up at me with that sad face, the one I could say no to as he said,
"I think I need you to go over this with me again Luce." I shook my head and snatched my bag up off the floor as I began to stand up Natsu grabbed my arm and in panic, "Where are you going?" I glared at him as I flicked his forehead, "Ow Luce that hurt."
"Good. I am not just going to sit here and do all of this for you Natsu. I will help you, I will explain it but I will not do it, do you understand." I saw him cower as he rubbed the red mark on his head,
"Aye sir." I dropped my bag and sat beside him again, as he concentrated on the math page in front of him, and actually began to work them out. Just then my phone began to play Taste of Ink, and I knew that it was Erza. I answered the call with a smile,
"Hey Erza, what's up?" Erza was frantic as she screeched,
"It's all ruined." I took a deep breath and asked her calmly,
"What's ruined Erza? You were so happy this morning."
"The party Lucy, the one we were having tomorrow night at my place. Turns out my dad's trip was cancelled and he isn't going anywhere. What am I going to do?" I leaned my head into my hand as I closed my eyes and said,
"You could always have it at my place." Natsu's head snapped up as he looked at me with very wide eye and his mouth hanging open. Erza shrieked into the phone again,
"Lucy you are the best, thank you." She then quickly disconnected and I looked at Natsu who was still in shock and I asked,
"What?" He shook his head,
"Are you really going to let Erza have a party at your house? You know the trouble you could get into if your dad found out." I sighed and nodded,
"I know but I didn't want to be the person to tell Erza that she couldn't have her party, so it just sorta came out." I let my head hit the counter as I groaned, "I'm dead." Natsu just ruffled my hair as he said,
"Only if you get caught."
