Chapter 4

"Please…" Natsu had enough of his alarm. He sat up on the edge of his bed with his face buried in the palms of his hands. And after a few seconds, his drowsiness lessened and he turned off the alarm. He laid back down without shutting his eyes.

In the darkness, he recapped what happened from last night, the memory coming back to him. "Oh…shit." Natsu slowly rose up. "This isn't gonna be pretty." He looked over at his clock again. "Saturday? Why!?"

Sitting in silence, thinking of an excuse or an explanation for what had transpired hours ago, he didn't know if confessing a love for her would make sense as he didn't know if he did himself. Ignoring the situation wasn't a good idea but might be the only way to get her to talk. "But then again, she wouldn't even talk about it the first time we kissed."

He knew joking about the kiss wouldn't end up well either. He came to his conclusion

"Shit..."

Natsu got out of the shower and looked at himself in the mirror. Grinning at the amount of embarrassment that he could see on his face. "You messed up man." Natsu shook his head.

Entering his room, he could hear the TV's muffled sound in the living room. He put his ear up against the door and could hear Levy's little giggle. "She sounds…the same." Natsu opened up the door and headed into the living room.

"What's happening?" Natsu asked Levy who sat on the couch. Again, she wore a long, grey t-shirt that showed off her toned legs. She seemed to be in her natural state with her messy and ruffled up hair.

"I'm just watching this show I found, it's pretty funny…" Levy looked at Natsu. "Sit do-, why are you just wearing a towel!" Levy blushed and looked away. Natsu had come in the room by impulse. "Oh crap! Sorry!" Natsu turned around, heading back in the hallway.

"No, just sit down." Levy patted next to her and crossed her legs. He nodded and reluctantly sat down next to her and joined her watching TV.

The only sound in the room emitted from the television speakers for several minutes before either of the two spoke.

"Why'd you kiss me Natsu?" Levy asked, not diverting her attention away from the screen. Natsu froze and looked down below the TV.

"I don't know. I guess you just looked cute…" Natsu chuckled. The joke wasn't too bad.

"Thanks but I mean the first time." Levy replied, this time looking at Natsu. He glanced at her and back at the TV, attempting to get comfortable, as impossible as it seemed.

"I guess you looked cute then too." Natsu felt his confidence in his sarcasm grow extensively. Levy frowned.

"Do you like me?" Levy just asked, putting her knees on the couch and facing her body towards him. He tried not to look below her face. Her petite body teasing him through the shirt. "Tell me Natsu, do you like me? Or more?"

Natsu crossed his arms and looked away. "I don't know Levy. You're my best friend is all I know right now."

Levy leaned closer. "That's fine. That's all I know too." She slowly guided her lips across his cheek, Natsu shocked by her response alone sat as she hovered her face over him. She exhaled on his cheek, goosebumps rising from his arms. She grabbed his chin and turned his face towards him. Their eyes meeting, Natsu felt his heart beat, and his privates jolt. She looked down to see his little friend jump slightly upwards. She giggled and locked lips with him. Natsu uncrossed his arms and sat facing her, not releasing the lip lock. He expected a tongue but didn't feel one before Levy let go. She looks back down at his private area and see a stem poking through the towel.

"I did that? Wow." Levy asked.

"What is happening right now?!" Natsu yelled out, completely exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster that rode out in his mind.

"I was just diagnosing your feelings for me." Levy said.

Natsu gave her a puzzled look. "Do YOU like me?"

Levy nodded. "Well of course! You're my best friend! And I just made out with you three times so, you know."

Natsu couldn't handle Levy's sarcasm that he rubbed off on her at the moment. This was going nowhere.

"So what does this make us Lev?" Natsu asked. Levy shook her head. "I didn't think that anything really changed. I still feel the same as I did before."

"And what is that?" Natsu's confusion wouldn't let up at the situation. "You're my best friend that I'm obviously am attracted to. No reason to hide it now."

Natsu chuckled. "I don't know if you can read the tension right now, but I would say the same Lev. But I wouldn't think that YOU would kiss me first. It always was my doing huh?" The two shared a laugh as the two looked back at the TV. The show had been running for a few minutes so the plot was lost between them.

After a few minutes, Natsu thought of what to say. "Wanna do it again?" He joked, breaking the ice. There was a slight pause before Levy responded.

"Sure."

Sunday Night

"I really don't want to go to school tomorrow." Natsu said. Levy nodded aggressively, "Yeah, a lot happened this weekend."

Natsu snickered. "Yeah. We hung out with the Gray and the girls…made out." Levy giggled. "Went to get groceries… made out…went to get school supplies, fooled around." Levy held her stomach in laughter, hysterically laughing. "I mean Lev, we got pretty handsy." Levy nodded with a naughty smile on her face. "Like really handsy Lev. I pulled muscles." Levy let out another consecutive giggle. "Okay Natsu! I get it!"

The two smiled at each other before Natsu leaned his head back and closed his eyes. "You seem really tired Natsu."

"Yeah, well it's because of you." Natsu retorted. Levy let out another of her giggles. "See you in the morning Levy." He said getting up.

As Levy passed by him, she pecked him on the cheek and then his lips. She patted him on the shoulder as she walked away. He looked down at the ground with a smile and then at her back. "Hey Levy." She stood at her door frame and looked out towards the living room. "What?"

Natsu walked up to her. "What are we doing?" He asked. Levy shrugged and tapped his cheek with the palm of her hand. "I dunno, but I'm just having fun…Are you?" Levy held her hands behind her back, standing timidly awaiting a response. "Yeah, I am too." Natsu replied. Levy stuck out her tongue teasingly and giggled. "Night Natsu."

Natsu walked back into his room and leaped onto his bed. "We're just having fun." He laughed and fell asleep after an hour, replaying the weekend in his head.

Monday - Morning

Natsu took ahold of Levy as she sat on his lap facing him, lips entwined. He gripped her upper thigh with their tongues connected. Levy moaned into his mouth, causing him to feel a quick jitter of excitement. Levy placed her hands on the back of the couch, towering over the boy. She leaned down to Natsu, who leaned up to kiss her as they shared one last kiss as the two separated.

Levy yawned, wiping her mouth from the foreign saliva that sat on her lip. "Good stuff Lev." Natsu said getting up.

"Yeah, you're not too bad." Levy exclaimed. Natsu rushed over to the girl and picked her up, swinging her around in a full circle; Levy giggled as she flew in the air. Natsu set her down slowly and ruffled her hair.

"I know I'm the only guy you've ever kissed like this, you can't fool me." Levy puffed her cheeks. "What makes you say that huh?"

"You're too cutesy." Natsu chuckled to himself. Levy walked into the kitchen preparing to set up breakfast for the day. "The heck does that mean?"

Natsu took a seat at the counter, watching Levy make their meal. "Like, you don't come off as the girl that ravages their best friend right after waking up."

Levy grinned, still focused on the food. "You're thinking the other way around I'm sure."

"Well, not really. You almost gave me a hickey on my lips!" Natsu laughed.

Levy put down the pancake mix and put her hands on her hips. "That's not even possible! Wait…is it?"

There was a pause as they pondered the idea. "I dunno, I'll look it up later…" Natsu said. "Do you need help?"

Levy nodded and pointed up to the cabinet above her. "Can you lift me up there? Unless you can reach it, just get out that pan."

Natsu walked around the corner with a sigh and attempted to reach up to the pan; Levy stepped aside.

"Not happening, the thing is too far back."

"Hmm" Levy looked at the counter. "Yeah just lift me up, my knees are sore from you squeezing my legs too hard and I don't want to slip off the counter. That'd be bad."

"Sure thing." Natsu chuckled.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her onto the counter, she placed her feet over the counter and reached up for the pan. "Hold me Natsu, if I fall I'm aiming for you."

"Okay, okay." Natsu looked up and could see under Levy's shirt. "You know… I can see everything right now."

Levy signaled for his hand to let her down. "Got it. What'd you say now?" Levy asked.

"Cute panties Lev." Natsu chuckled. Levy blushed and slapped his arm. "You're such a perv!" She giggled.

"You're not even wearing pants!" Natsu beamed. "Do you want me to?" Levy asked sternly. The giggles stopped and Natsu stood firmly. "No. God no."

Levy sighed with a grin. "I'm gonna go take a shower, just mix it all up." She said washing her hands.

"Very vague instructions Levy."
