-Prompt by homohighness-
Natsu thought his night was going pretty well; he had just saw the scores of his college exams and passed them all with flying colors (thanks to a certain bookworm), and he had just come from the most amazing party he's ever been too, and now he'd plan to go rewatch his favorite movie with his best friend in the whole world before the semester was up. So yeah, it was a pretty awesome night, but now, seeing this sight at three in the morning while he was a little more than tipsy, he literally could not keep it together.
"NATSU! QUIT LAUGHING AND HELP ME, I'M SO SERIOUS!"
He felt himself slide down the wall, his chest hurting like he was just in a fucking car crash. Oh dear God, his laughter was practically silent now, he couldn't take it anymore. He was suffocating, this was just way too funny.
He knew Lucy was clumsy naturally, and he knew if he got a few drinks in her that was the only part of her personality that heightened, but this, this was a new low even for her. He had the movie all set and ready in her room, everything was fine, but she just had to go and get a chocolate bar. He could have suspected it, some kids were blazing up at the party and let the smoke drift throughout the room as well, so it wasn't surprising she had the munchies. Definitely wasn't worth it though.
Natsu wiped the tears from his eyes and sniffed his nose, pulling out his phone with an "Oh God..."
"Natsu." Lucy hissed lowly, jumping in shock at the flash of his phone, "NATSU!"
He started laughing again at the photo he took; she looked absolutely pathetic. Lucy sat on the floor, her freaking arm up in the vending machine dispenser, stuck. Her clothes were ruffled and dirty from the party and her mascara had smeared around her eyes; she looked awful.
"I just wanted a candy bar Natsu, please help me!" She whined, swaying back and forth as much as she could. "Stupid thing got stuck and I tried to grab it and it didn't work and my arm got stuck and, and-"
"Okay okay Luce, it'll be alright." He chuckled, finally walking over to her. "Can't you just pull it out?"
"Gee Natsu, I never thought of that," She said with a snap and a glare, "It hurts too much to pull it, it's like cutting off my circulation or something!"
Natsu sighed and ignored her tone. He knelt beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Well we're gonna try anyways."
He began pulling her towards his chest and she bite down on her lip hard, before she finally cried out.
"Ow! Natsu stop, stop!" She felt him immediately let go. She pushed against the machine, but it didn't budge anymore. "This hurts so much, damn."
Natsu stood up and exhaled heavily, dragging a hand through his hair. "Shit Lucy...you might actually be stuck here for a while."
"No, no," She pleaded, "Don't leave me here, I'm way too wasted and hungry to wait for someone to come. And I can't let my dad hear about this."
"What do you want me to do then?" He asked, starting to get concerned.
"I don't know Natsu!" She cried, banging her head against the glass.
Natsu fell back against the wall, sharing stares with the people passing by Lucy with weird looks. He was too drunk for this, his mind could barely keep his eyes focused on one thing.
"And wiggling it around won't work?" He asked, trying to keep his eyes open.
"No," She pouted, "Hurts too much to even try and move it."
Natsu nodded slowly, jutting out his bottom lip, and heard Lucy suddenly gasp, "Natsu! Go get something to wet my arm so I can wiggle it out!"
"What, like lube or something?" He subconsciously asked.
Lucy arched an eyebrow at his choice of words, but nodded, "Yeah, I guess."
Natsu stood upright and suddenly grinned, "Alright! I'll go to Loke's!"
Lucy froze. He meant actual lube.
"WAIT NO!" She shrieked, waving her arm behind her as Natsu shot down the hallway.
He stopped and turned back, "What?"
"Get back here! Right now!" She ordered. She couldn't turn around to face him, but she secretly just hoped he would listen.
Natsu came around to her face, confused, "What? It'll get you out."
"By using Loke's sex lube? Seriously?" She snapped, "What the hell is the matter with you, that is disgusting."
Natsu thought a moment, before rolling his eyes and keeping his mouth shut, "He would have some though, I mean c'mon, it's Loke."
"I mean water or lotion, dumbass." She said, grinding her teeth.
Natsu raised a brow at the insult, "You really think you're in any place to be calling me that?"
Lucy sighed and rolled her hazel eyes, "Okay, I'm sorry, I'm just getting impatient. Please hurry."
Natsu let a smile slip on his lips, "Much better."
Twenty minutes later Natsu came back with Lucy's lotion and tried rubbing it on her arm, yet proved difficult. Soon enough he was behind her again with his arms around her waist.
"Oww," Lucy said with a weary cry. She twisted her arm back and forth as Natsu pulled her, but it was all futile. She didn't budge an inch.
Natsu let go and groaned loudly, dragging his hand through his hair again. Lucy began sniffling and banged her head against the glass repeatedly. "I can't believe this is happening."
"Yeah me neither." Natsu agreed. He just wanted to watch his movie tonight, that's all.
Lucy hissed in pain, "I think I'm bleeding, my arm looks super red."
"Hm," Natsu hummed tiredly.
Lucy heard beeps and chings above her coming from the machine and twisted her neck to look up above her. She saw Natsu pressing buttons and felt a bag of chips smack her hand as it fell in the dispenser.
"Are you kidding me?" She gawked as he gently pushed her to get his snack. He hummed, "Ass."
Natsu grabbed his bag and made a disgusted sound, "Ew you got blood all over it," He wiped the red liquid off the bag and onto his pants.
Lucy watched him with a glare as he sunk to the ground next to her, the plastic of his chips crackling annoyingly. She had nothing else to say. She was dizzy and tired and completely out of ideas, and it was obvious Natsu was in the same ballpark. She didn't know how long she sat there, it felt like hours and the longer she sat, starving, the more she felt like giving in.
Soon enough a long whistle came from behind her. "Damn, what happened here?"
Natsu rolled his eyes at Gajeel approaching with a huge grin on his face. He entered Lucy's view and starting laughing, "Oh Bunny girl..."
Lucy leaned her head against the glass, "My chocolate bar got stuck and so did I."
Gajeel nodded and rocked on his heels as he walked around to the other side, "I kinda need to use this..."
Lucy glared up to him.
"Fuck off Gajeel." Natsu said blandly.
Gajeel forced back another smile and said nothing. Lucy felt a small shove on her back and the tip of her chocolate bar slip from her fingertips. She gawked as he fled the hallway running, "HEY! THAT'S MINE!"
Lucy waved her arm back and forth angrily, a grunt spilling from her lips that sounded a little more sexual than irritated. Natsu held back a grin at that.
"I have to get out of here." She said a moment later, her voice quivering, "I'm starving and tired and I'm going insane, I need to get out."
Natsu saw her sway back and forth like some mental patient in a straight jacket. Her eyes flashed between the panes of glass across from her and searched among the people passing by.
"OH! ELFMAN! HEY ELFMAN!" She screeched, making Natsu jump.
Elfman and his body builder, muscle protein addict self walked past the first pane. Lucy did another unappealing grunt in dismay and tried kicking the glass to catch his attention, her skirt riding up her legs. Natsu shook his head at her, another panty shot for the tally.
Elfman still didn't hear or see her, "Natsu! Go get him!"
Natsu sighed and stood up to knock on the glass, waving Elfman inside the building. He came around and did the usual, laughing for a good five minutes before calming down to actually hear Lucy out.
"You have to break it."
Natsu rose an eyebrow at Lucy's order. Little miss goody two shoes would never damage school property, that would definitely come back to bite her in the ass.
"You want me to break the vending machine?" He asked.
"Yes, break the glass. Shove it, hit it, shoot it with a gun, I don't care just get me out." She pleaded anxiously, "Come on, use your anger! Hulk smash! Let's go!"
She banged on the glass and kicked her feet, "Come on!"
Elfman sighed and stepped up to her, "Alright, but if I get ticketed you're paying me back."
"Whatever, just do it."
Natsu stood behind him, his expression unsure. Elfman raised his big meaty fist and cocked his arm back, before bringing it full force down on the dispenser. Lucy flinched at the attack and felt her head be pushed into a chest. A small piece of glass fell on her leg, and she felt more blood dribble down her arm. Elfman hit the machine again and again, until the entire case of glass shattered on top of Lucy and Natsu.
Lucy cried out in pain and fell back onto Natsu, cradling her arm with a hiss of pain.
"You okay?!" Natsu panicked and raised her face to his. She nodded and raised her bloody arm to examine, before freezing in her spot. She whipped her face up to Natsu's with the biggest smile he's ever seen her have.
"I'M FREE!" She screamed, "HOLY SHIT!"
Lucy threw her arms around Natsu's neck and twirled him around. She laughed and cried at the same time as he hugged her back with just as much force, lifting her off the ground. She pulled back and gave him a long kiss on his cheek. She pulled away with bright red cheeks, before kissing his lips just as sweetly and fervently.
Lucy heard Elfman give a boisterous laugh and hugged him as well, spinning off the ground.
"Do I get a kiss too?" He joked.
Lucy blushed with a giddy laugh and leaned up, before being pulled back into a pair of arms.
"No, you don't." She heard Natsu say from beside her ear. She bit down on her lip, rolling her eyes with a silly grin.
She turned around in his arms and saw him smile crookedly, "Can we go finish our movie now?"
