Natsu Dragneel strolled down the streets of Magnolia in search of Christmas presents for his closest friends.
He'd gotten presents for almost everyone on his list that Lucy made him put together.
Speaking of his blonde partner, she was the only person on said list that he still needed get something for.
The young Mage scoured every single shop in Magnolia and with just his luck he couldn't find a single thing that screamed Lucy to him. She was just to weird to buy anything for.
Natsu trudged home, his abnormal body heat melted any snow that came into contact with his sandal clad feet to melt away instantly.
Christmas was in three days and he felt absolutely terrible for not getting anything for his best friend of technically eight years.
He arrived at his small but cozy home he shared with Happy, swinging open the door, kicked off his shoes and slammed the door behind him.
The teen let out a heavy sign and set down the bags he carried in his hands, then began to rub at the red lines that cut into his tan skin from the weight of the thin plastic weighed down but the goodies he bought his guild mates.
All he wanted to do was go lay down in his hammock and to not wake up until late tomorrow.
Obviously that didn't go to plan as he was suddenly aware of the other being sitting on his couch.
Lucy gave him a sweet smile, the flames from the fire place making her lipgloss shine.
He couldn't but notice what she was wearing; black sweats, a baggy moss green tee and the blanket he kept on the back his couch.
He looked at her face once again and noticed her smile had faded and was now a plain, empty expression.
Something was wrong.
The boy moved closer, taking a seat next to her, making sure he didn't upset her in any way. "Everything okay, Luce?" His voice was laced with concern.
"I had a nightmare earlier and plus...my heaters broken and my is literally an icebox now." The celestial Mage gave a slight chuckle.
Natsu's face dropped at the mention of her 'nightmare'.
"Do you wanna talk about it Lucy, your nightmare I mean?" Lucy turned to look at him before giving her answer, "Not right now...it's kind of a touchy matter still," Natsu have a nod, indicating that he understood but he wouldn't let it go just yet.
"I came here to see if I could possibly stay here for tonight, until my heater gets fixed tomorrow?" The girl looked uncertain, she'd never stayed at his place any longer than she needed to considering every time she came over she needed up cleaning the whole damn place and wanted to leave straight afterwords.
This was something new in a way.
Natsu would always barge into her home and sleep in her bed whenever he felt like it so, why not do a little role reversal?
The dragon boys voice snapped her from thoughts with his answer. "Sure Lucy, come on, I'll set you up."
He picked up the girl and carried her bridal style to the very back of his humble abode and opened up a door the girl in his arms had never seen in all of the times she'd been his house.
Walking into the little room was a huge surprise.
In the room was a small dresser, a closet and huge queen sized bed that sat against the furthest wall.
"What's this, Natsu?" She asked, curiosity getting the best of her.
He walked over to the bed setting her down on the sheets.
"A few months before we met each other Gray and I got in a really bad fight so Erza, being the way she is decided to blow out my pantry and created this whole extra room and to settle our differences she made Gray and I sleep in the same bed...for a whole damn week. It was torture." Lucy let out a few giggles.
Natsu made a pouty face staring at the girl on the bed.
She climbed under the big brown comforter and scooted over until she was a mere inch from touching the chilly wall.
"Will you stay with me...just until I fall asleep?" The asked, looking up at the male before her.
He stared into her chocolate orbs. "Yeah, sure."
The boy climbed into the bed next to the blonde.
Natsu laid on his side facing Lucy. They stared into each other's eyes for long moment before the younger teen scooted closer her best friend.
She wrapped her arms around his hips, resting her head onto his chest.
After a few seconds she spoke, "Hey Natsu, do you mind if I give you your Christmas present early? I just can't wait any longer." Her voice was just above a whisper.
She looked up at him through her long lashes.
The way she was looking at him cutely made him nervous.
He wasn't an idiot, he knew his partner was absolutely stunning in every single possible way and that's what made his nerves spike.
He had a slight liking for the girl in his arms.
With a gulp he replied. "Sure Luce."
A small smile formed on her lips as she used he feet to lift her body up to where she was almost eye level with Natsu.
He could tell she was nervous as she leaned closer to his face, lightly tipping her head up.
Then, their lips touched.
It was soft and perfect.
On instinct Natsu's hands moved to rest on her waist as he pulled her flush against his chest.
Lucy was she one to pull away, a sign slipped past her lips and small grunt came from Natsu.
"I...really like you Natsu and I want to be more than friends, partners and Guild mates." The amount of hope in voice was incredibly thick.
Leaning closer and closer, Natsu placed another kiss to her soft lips. "I like you too Luce and that was the best Christmas present I've ever gotten so, thank you."
With that they both fell asleep in complete and utter bliss.
Natsu even completely forgot about getting his new lover a present considering she got her present early as well.
Here's the second day's one shot! This one is kind of on the cuter side :) Hope you all had a good day and see you tomorrow with even more nalu!
