Chapter 4: Pressing the Issue

The Next Day…

Homeroom, Room 304

Lucy's POV

I sighed for what had seemed the tenth time of the day. God, I'm having the worst day of my life. Well, the day isn't over yet so I can't call it a horrible day…yet. But, judging on what had happened early today.

*Flashback…*

A few hours ago…

I snuggled more into the comforting warmth of my blanket. The blanket grunted and tightened its hold on me… … Hang on a second, blankets don't grunt or even have arms! I quickly opened my eyes to be greeted by Natsu's chest… I felt my cheeks grow hot from the sight of Natsu's bare chest. Wait how did Natsu get here anyway? Was he wearing a shirt yesterday? I paused for a moment to think, and then all of yesterday's events come flooding back to me. I smiled softly at the little 'moment' we had.

'Wait! I thought 'Mama and Papa must have seen Natsu and I sleeping like this.' I felt my face grow hot from embarrassment. The blush intensified, when a muscular arm pulled me even closer to his well, tones and well-defined body. My eyes traveled downward, examining ever inch of his body. His toned defined chest, his bulging biceps, his muscular back and his defined abdomen.

'I just makes me want to trail a finger down his body." I thought, I shook the thought out of my head

'Bad Lucy! This is your best friend we're talking about! Your... muscular...best friend' I scolded mentally, blushing heavily from my 'dirty' thoughts. Dear Mavis, I think I'm about to faint from all the blood rushing towards my head. Glancing at the clock to check the time.

'6:30' It said. 'Only an hour and 30 minutes until school starts' I said mentally inside my head. Not wanting to wake the sleeping pink-haired teen, I slowly lifted the arm that held me in place. Then gradually, standing not making a single sound, I made my way towards the bathroom to get ready for school.

A few minutes later…

I walked down the steps of my house hearing the pots and pans clanking, a sign that Mama is awake. Stepping into the kitchen, a delicious aroma drifted towards me. I felt my stomach growl at me telling me to feed it.

I saw Mama standing in front of the stove fiddling with pots and pans, with Natsu nowhere in sight.

"Mama?" I asked her. Still fiddling with the pans, she 'hmm'ed at me in reply.

"Where's Natsu?" And I could have sworn I saw an evil glint in her eyes and a smirk forming on her face.

"Well, I sent him home to get ready for school. Why? Are you worried about your boyfriend?" Mama asked putting food onto my plate and setting the pan back onto the stove.

"N-no! Wh-where would you get that idea from?" I stuttered nervously, feeling a blush crawling up my cheeks.

"Since I saw you two sleeping together" Mama replied casually washing the pans. My blush intensified when I heard her answer. 'S-s-she saw us, SLEEPING together!' I screamed mentally in my head.

"So…" Mama said setting the pan in the sink, crossing her arms and leaning on the counter in front of me. "Am I expecting to be a grandmother?"

"MAMA!"

*Flashback over…. *

Gosh, and don't get me started on what happened in the corridors.

*Flashback….*

I walked down the corridors of the school, when all of the sudden a female student came up to me and said.

"Lucy-san, are you and Natsu-san dating?" I stood there staring at her in shock, gaping like a fish before saying.

"What?"

"I said are you and Natsu-san dating?" She repeated

"NO!" I shouted at her denying her statement. It wasn't long before another female student came up to me and asked.

"I heard that you and Natsu slept together, so I was wondering when's the baby coming?". I looked at her wide-eyed at her question before replying.

"WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT FROM!" I screamed, then after another female student came up to me and said.

" Is it true that you and Natsu are dating?" Then one after another, student after student, fired question after question.

"Congrats! I heard that you and Natsu are dating!

" Lucy-san, are you pregnant?"

"How was Natsu in bed?"

"When is your next date with Natsu?"

"Did Natsu confess?

"How good did Natsu kiss?"

"Have you kissed yet?"

"Congratulations! I fully support your relationship!"

I wasn't long before the corridor of the school was filled with students, crowding around me. I felt dizzy from all of the questions being fired at me. Pushing my way through the crowd, I made my way to Homeroom with the crowd behind me still firing questions at me.

*Flashback over…*

I laid my head on the desk still feeling dizzy from a few minutes ago. A few minutes passed before a figure stood before me. Looking up I was greeted by Mirajane's evil smirk pasted on her face.

"So…" Mirajane began. Oh no, please don't ask that question.

"Are" Please don't

"You and Natsu" Oh god no, please tell me this is just a joke

"Dating?" I groaned and banged my head onto my desk closing my eyes, blocking all sounds. The lasting I heard was Mirajane giggling with muffled voices in the background. But, I was to dizzy to make out what they were saying. Then, I drifted off…
