Thank you to everyone who reviewed! Here's Chapter 2!
Previously:
"Oh that's easy."
A new voice popped up behind Lucy. She whipped her head around and came face to face with Gray, smirking down at her.
"You're Natsu's girl."
"What!? No I'm not!" Lucy was now bright red and screaming her head off. Mira on the other hand was sitting there fangirling and repeatedly asking "You are? You are?"
Gray was standing there smirking while Mira and Lucy were having a "Yes you are! No I'm not" argument. "You'll have to face it sooner or later Lucy. You are, always have, and always will be Natsu's girl. Whether or not you two know it yet."
"What's that supposed to mean? I never agreed to be Natsu's girl! What if I like someone else? What if I only like Natsu as a friend? What if..." She rambled on until a new person joined the conversation.
"What about me?"
Natsu was now standing right next to Lucy with an arm around her shoulder. Mira got a nosebleed and fell backwards with a smile ear to ear. Gray just walked away . Right before he left he turned to Lucy and mouthed, "Good luck." After a joking wave goodbye he left the two of them alone.
With a glare at Gray Lucy turned her attention to the pink haired dragon slayer on her shoulder, but she almost didn't want to leave the warmth of the his arm. He had a comforting warmth that always made her content. Reluctantly she moved away from him and turned back around to face him.
"Natsu. What do you think you're doing?"
"Dunno. Saying hi and asking why you guys were talking about me?" Natsu watched her face turn an unhealthy shade of red at that last statement. "What's wrong Luce? Are you sick? You don't look like you're supposed to. You're completely red."
Yet again she turned a darker shade of red and sighed. "I'm just gonna go home. See you later Natsu."
Natsu glanced outside and noticed it was pitch black. He looked back at the blonde beauty and quickly replied, "Wait! I'll walk you home. It's not safe for a girl to walk home in the dark alone. As for me I can burn stuff so no one will bother you if I go with you. Not that you can't take care of yourself cause I know you can, I just want to make sure you're safe."
Lucy looked outside too and saw the darkness, she was afraid of walking alone in the dark. "Thank you Natsu. Now let's go before it gets any darker."
They walked towards her home together, Natsu couldn't help but wonder why Lucy was blushing and walking at a far distance away from him. He did notice she was shivering. He inched towards her and pulled her into an embrace. She at first struggled in his arms, but then she let the warmth surround her. She didn't realize it then, but her heart was beating like a drum and she was blushing uncontrollably. He thought she had a fever.
"Thank you Natsu. You're the greatest friend I have."
He pulled away, much to Lucy's disapointment, and flashed his normal grin. They spent the rest of the walk cuddling together while talking about the mission they were planning to do. Both of them were enjoying this a little too much.
When they got to her house he walked her in, but right before he could jump out of her window to leave, her voice reached his ears. She ran up to him and grabbed his arm and said, "Wait! Stay for a while! I don't mind the warmth. It's chilly"
It was his turn to blush a little, but he hid behind his scarf and nodded. He'd leave after she fell asleep. She grabbed a book and sat down on her bed. She sat on her pillow, leaned against the front of her bed and opened her book. After about three minutes of reading she looked up at him. She looked expectantly at him and motioned for him to sit next to her. He slowly walked over and began to lean towards the bed. "Oh come on Natsu, I won't bite. Unless you bite first." She laughed a little.
He chuckled and, finally, he gave in and sat next to her. Just to keep her warm he put an arm around her shoulder. He didn't notice her smile at the gesture though, because he was reading over her shoulder. They sat like that for an hour.
After about twenty minutes of waiting for her to turn the page, he looked over at her wondering why she was taking so long, and then he heard the soft snores coming from her mouth. He smiled and picked her up to move her to a comfortable position under the blankets, she was sound asleep.
He noticed she wasn't as heavy as Happy made her out to be all the time, he was probably just teasing her. She was shivering in the chilly air.
He pulled back the covers and gently placed her down, but even after he pulled over the covers, she shivered. In her head, she was wondering where the warmth she had felt a minute ago went, but soon enough she felt it return.
He climbed in next to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her towards him and inhaling her sweet scent. 'It's just to keep her warm', he thought to himself. With a final smile, he gave into drowsiness and drifted off into a strange dream...
There's chapter 2! I'm not very good at writing long chapters so don't be surprised when the chapters are short. Remember to leave a review. Love ya all! Until next time!
