A/N: This idea has been hanging on my mind for quite a while. Hope you like it! Please R&R.

Natsu and Lucy creep through the shadows as they try to spot the dark mage. He's being extremely difficult. They've been trying to locate him for a long time now, but he's being very persistent of staying in the shadows.
"This is very frustrating," Lucy grits her teeth, "Where is that guy? I'm very tired."
"If you don't stop whining, we're gonna get caught," Natsu says, "We gotta find what he's up to if we wanna get that reward. You do need to pay your rent, don't you?"
"Hmph. I do, but where-"
"Get down!" Natsu jumps on her and they hide behind a pile of crates. The dark mage they were looking for walked past them without noticing. No damage. Well, for Natsu, for Lucy, it's a different story.
He's really close, she thinks, This is bad for my composure. "Natsu," she starts, "Get off-"
"Shh!" he hushes her, "He's coming back.
At the moment, Lucy was lying on her back with Natsu on top of her. Lucy could smell the smokey scent the Dragon-slayer gave off, feel his breathing and hear his heartbeat. This could mean only one thing, they were way too close. The fact that he was paying more attention to keeping quiet than their current position proved very frustrating to Lucy as her cheeks turned to a colour somewhat similiar to his hair.
"He's gone," Natsu declares, "We better follow him."
"Well then, do you mind getting off of me!" she almost yells it out.
"I am. Don't yell if you don't want us to get caught."
Maybe he realised the situation too, for his face was a bit heated as well. But, that could've been the adrenaline rush or just his own body temperature. Who knows...
The End
