~Door Slam~
"Wow that job was tiring even if it was so easy.", Lucy said as she slung her bag on a chair then plopped on her bed and sprawled out under the covers.
"Maybe just a little nap, *yawn * ...should be good.", her voice trails off after she rests her eyes and nuzzles into her pillow and under the bed sheets for warmth.
~Back to Natsu~
'I wonder if she's home? And okay?'
Natsu started slowing down his pace and finds Lucy's apartment in the sea of buildings. 'I hope her window is unlocked..', He stopped in front of the building and climbed to the window since Happy wasn't there to help, and checks to see if it is indeed unlocked. And luckily it is, but then he notices her sleeping all snuggled, so peacefully. Natsu quietly crawled in, closes the window shut and climbs slowly over Lucy trying hard not to wake her up.
Then genteelly he scoots next to her under her light pink covers and has her head rested on his warm, bare chest with his arm around her. But then he starts to stare at her in a weird way... Almost like he felt a little feeling in his heart burn. His face started blushing here and there while the little mage still continued sleeping quietly.
'Come on Natsu you know you like her. WHAT?! Did I just think that?!' He blushed bright red like Erza's hair and Natsu quickly turns toward the window looking out toward the horizon where the water kissed the sky.
'We have been through so much..together', he pondered. And looking back at all the memories of them laughing, being happy, crying, standing up for one another and just being friends. 'Friends...? We are only friends?... No she is more than my friend. She has to be! She is my partner and I...' His thought is interrupted as Lucy slightly moved and shifted positions. Turning her pretty little head toward him. Now his feelings were growing more for her to where he didn't want to let her go.
"Sweet dreams Lucy..", Natsu said as he pulled her closer to him. And softly peck her forehead with a kiss. He closed his eyes and slept followed by a dream.
~Forward two hours~
Lucy started wiggling around and started opening her eyes as she stared at Natsu sleeping literally two inches away from her. And her face turned as red as Erza's hair.
"Naattsuuuuu!"
