Chapter 2
Natsu's POV.
After the movie Lucy decided she wanted to get some ice cream really quick, so of course I let her. As we walked to my house we ate our ice cream and talked a lot about random stuff. By the time we got to my house, the sun was starting to set. I unlocked the door to my house and let Lucy walk in first. She immediately lays down on the couch. I wonder if she would wanna stay the night. I mean it's not like it would be the first time. She can sleep in the guest room and I'll sleep in my room and it's not like anything will happen right? Yeah, nothing will happen. I decide that it's a good idea. "Hey Luce, do you wanna sleepover? I don't want ya being alone in that big house of yours and Plue can come too." As soon as I finish my question Lucy looks kinda surprised. It was really cute.
"A-are you sure? I-I mean would that be ok with Igneel you think? I don't want to intrude and I don't want you to get in trouble or anything." She said slightly blushing. I couldn't help but laugh at her.
"Of course it would be ok. Igneel loves you like family. He would never care. Plus it's not like you haven't slept over before." She blinked a couple times. Then she smiled sweetly and agreed to my offer of her staying over. Deep down I was really happy. Speaking of Happy…. "Crap! I forgot about Happy!" I ran to go get Happy and feed him. Then I put him by his food and went to go sit down. Lucy was laughing at my reaction to me forgetting something once again. I don't even mind because she just looks so happy right now. She's amazing. Why does she have to be so damn beautiful? I then realize that I've been staring at Lucy for a little while and she's staring back at me with a look of question on her face.
"Natsu, you're staring. Is something wrong?" She asks with a hint of worry on her face now.
"Sorry, I didn't realize it. Nothing's wrong, just thinking is all." I said laughing slightly and, for the 100th time today, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Why do you keep rubbing the back of your neck? Do you have a rash? Wait! Are you hurt?!" Lucy said jumping off the couch and rushing towards me and checking the back of my neck. "No, I'm not hurt and I don't have a rash. Just a little embarrassed is all." I said reassuring her that nothing's wrong.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" She asked quickly. Why does she have to ask so many questions. It's like she wants me to confess to her or something.
"No reason really. I don't know. Just realised that I do really weird things that I'm kinda embarrassed about." I'm trying really hard not to tell her the real reason of why I'm so embarrassed. I don't want to ruin our friendship though. I would never forgive myself if I did.
"Hey where's Wendy? Is she at a friends house?" Lucy suddenly asked, causing me to jump a little in my seat. "Oh yeah. Hmmm... I think she told me this morning that she's going to Chelia's house for a sleepover. Let me check, Wendy probably left me a note or something." I walked up to the fridge to see if there was a note stuck on it. There wasn't. "There isn't a note. I'm gonna call her and check in with her real quick." I said loudly so that Lucy could hear me from the other room. I walked into the dining room to grab my phone out of my small red backpack. I swiped to unlock the screen and went to my contacts. I looked for Wendy's name and when I found it I hit the call button. I held it up to my ear and waited for her to answer. She answered quicker than I thought she would.
"Hello?" She said sweetly.
"Hey Wendy. Where are you? Are you staying at a friends house or something?" I asked and I could hear faint giggling in the background that answered my question.
"Oh, hi Natsu-nii! I'm staying at Chelia's house tonight remember? I told you this morning." She said a little disappointingly that I had forgotten so easily.
"That's what I thought. Just making sure. Have fun ok? Don't stay all day tomorrow because Mom and Dad want to skype us and make sure everything is ok. See ya tomorrow bye" I said "Bye Natsu-nii! Love you!" She shouted into the phone, making my ears hurt for a minute. "Love you too kid." I said before hanging up.
"Is everything ok?" Lucy asked walking into the dining room with the most innocent look on her face. "Yeah, everything's good. I was right she's staying at a friends house tonight." I said giving her a reassuring smile. After that Lucy cooked dinner and we ate while watching TV, completely forgetting about our homework. She's gonna be so mad at me tomorrow.
