Chapter two
Fiddle Dee Dee
"Hey Mirajane!" Lucy chirped, spinning around on one of the bar stools.
Mirajane cocked an eyebrow upwards.
"You seem.. Happy.." she said, watching her twirl.
"I am."
"Could it have anything to do with Natsu?" she asked, smirking.
Lucy stopped and gawked at her.
"H-how--?"
"--Oh, Natsu was only talking about you all day." she said.
"He was?"
"Said something about how beautiful your smile was when you opened your gift.."
Lucy blushed.
"Aha!" said Mirajane, pointing at her.
"So you do like him."
"Wh-whaa?!" said Lucy, eyes widening.
"I actually made up that last part," Mirajane lied.
"So you just totally gave yourself away."
"Oh.." said Lucy, hiding her disappointment.
"OHAYO EVERYONE!!" called out a familiar fire mage as he burst through the doors.
"Hi Lucy!" he called, smiling as he drew nearer.
Gray glanced over at Natsu.
"Ah, the firecracker's back." he muttered, sticking out his foot.
Natsu tripped, and glared up at Gray from the floor.
"Yeah, whatever ice cube."
"So hot sauce," said Gray.
"How was your date yesterday?" he muttered, nodding towards Lucy.
Natsu glared at him despite the growing blush on his cheeks.
It was just a good thing they were out of earshot from Lucy and the others.
"Sorry, I don't know how to speak Hoth, could you run that by me one more time?"
"You heard me, idiot."
"I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN, SNOWFLAKE!" he yelled, grabbing Gray by his shirt.
"Are you guys fighting already?" Lucy called, staring at them.
"Yeah, I'm being dissed by your boyfr-"
Natsu punched him, sending him crashing through two tables.
"Why you little.."
Ice shards and fireballs flew everywhere through the guild as Gray and Natsu fought, whilst Mirajane and Lucy just rolled their eyes.
"Snowman!"
"Hot head!"
"Bastard!"
"Pinky!"
"REAL MEN HAVE PINK HAIR!!!" Natsu barked.

"WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP?!?!?!"
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
They stared, shocked at the female that had stepped in between them.
Fuming, Lucy stood between them, her arms stretched out on either side of her to separate them.
"Every freaking day! You two do this every day!" she shouted, enunciating each word.
"Just knock it off!"
"Yeah, sure Luce, I'll stop.." said Natsu, glaring at Gray.
"You're just saying that so that you can--"
"--Gray, shut up." Lucy cut him off, giving him a glare that was worse than Erza's.
"Aye!" said Gray fearfully, backing away wide eyed.
Lucy sighed, and walked back over to the bar slowly.
"I don't really feel up to doing any missions today, I think I'm just going to go home and work on my novel." she said to Mirajane.
"That's good. Writing will help." said Mirajane.
"Eh? Help what? Lucy, are you feeling sick?" asked Natsu.
He raised his hand to her forehead to compare their temperatures.
Lucy blushed, pulling away.
"No, I'm not sick.." she said.
"But look, you're red like you have fever or something!" he said, staring intently at her red face.
"It's not fever!!" squealed Lucy, running from the room.
Natsu stared after Lucy in utter confusion, as Mirajane laughed silently behind him.
'Poor Lucy..' she thought.
. . .
. . .
*(LUCY'S POV)*
'Why me?!' I thought as I stepped out of the shower.
'And Natsu actually saw me blush too!'
Well, at least I'd gotten to get some good work in on my novel.
But that still didn't change what happened at Fairy Tail.
I could've sworn that I was still red.
"Well, I guess I get to start fresh tomorrow.." I mumbled, getting into a pair of shorts and a tank top.
I sighed and practically threw myself onto the bed.
Looking over to my left, I saw something with pink hair.
Immediately I jumped up and screamed once I realized who was lying next to me.
*(NORMAL POV)*
"NATSU?!" she screamed, jumping up.
The pink-haired boy looked up as if he'd just woken up.
"Mm? What.."
His eyes fell on Lucy.
"Ack! How did I get here?" he said, looking around perplexedly.
Happy's head popped up from under the covers.
"Natsu, you don't remember?" he said.
"You got drunk after Lucy left, and then you came here after you lost in a fight with Gray.."
"Hey, I didn't lose!" Natsu said sleepily.
Happy was already asleep again.
"No way.. I didn't.. lose......" Natsu rambled on as his eyes began to close again.
Lucy tapped her foot impatiently, red in the face.
"So are you guys going to make me sleep on the floor, or should I just drag you out?" she asked.
Natsu smiled in bliss, letting his head fall back onto the bed.
"So comfy..." he mumbled.
"Natsu.." Lucy sighed, shaking her head.
He responded with a snore.
Giving up, Lucy flopped into her bed next to him, landing on Happy.
"Aye!" he cried out, as he scrambled from the bed.
The flying cat sighed.
"Tell Natsu, I went home Lucy.. I can't sleep here if you two are going to crush me.."
"R-right.." she said, as she watched Happy make his exit.
She smiled softly.
Now she was alone with Natsu.
And nothing to stop her from moving right up next to him.
But what she wasn't expecting, was for Natsu to pull her towards him first.
Lucy reddened as his arms wrapped around her, pinning her to his chest.
Clearly he was unconscious, but hell! Lucy didn't care!
She smiled quietly to herself and blushed as she snuggled into his embrace.
'I just know this is going to end badly..' she thought to her self, just as her cares slipped away along with her consciousness.
Her eyes slid shut in peace as she began to dream of Natsu.
(A.N.) . . .
I..
. . .
Yeah...
Heheh
