~Short Four: Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds~
The infirmary was quiet as the darkness coated the outside of the windows, crickets sung happily outside the glass panel. Natsu sat on a rather hard and uncomfortable wooden chair while gazing out the window. He barely could make out the stars that were twinkling wildly, and flinch lightly every time he saw a figure move in the darkness. He pondered Lucy's appearance; his eyes slide over her every feature, their onyx hues caressing, and engraving every one of her unique attributes. The mage's hair was like delicately spun gold, and her fragile pale skin adorned small bruises, scratches, and bandages and every time Natsu saw one he glared at it and suppressed a small growl. Natsu's larger tan hands cradled Lucy's much tinier one, he ran his thumb over her pale knuckles. Natsu's eyes bore heavily into her soft, rose colored lips; how badly he wanted to glide his rough, calloused fingers over them, oh how badly he wanted to meet her lips with his own. The urge clawed at him, maimed him like an animal. But that's what it was an animal, a primal, fundamental instinct fighting to take him over. Before Natsu realized what he was doing his face was inches away from hers, just a breath between them. Lucy's soft exhales brushed over his cheeks, he leaned forward so his forehead made contact with hers. Should I? He wondered intently, and as he gazed at her peaceful face he knew the answer.
Before he could touch her lips with his, Lucy's chocolate eyes fluttered open to met Natsu's onyx ones. For a brief but intimate moment they held each other's gaze before he jerked his face upwards and grazed her forehead with his chapped lips. After place a small kiss on her soft skin he opened his mouth to speak. "Hey, I want to show you something." She moved over to make a space for Natsu's warm body, he slid under the covers and helped pull Lucy up to a sitting position. Lucy reveled in his heat as it sank into her being, she sighed and proceeded to inch closer to her partner. His muscled arm wrapped itself around her slender pale shoulders, Lucy's head resting on his uncovered chest .
"Okay, look up." His voice was barely a whisper as he peered up himself. Lucy's breath caught in her throat, she watched the scene above her with awe. Several glow in the dark stars were placed on the high ceilings, a green light illuminated from them. Lucy thought they looked like diamonds, diamonds that blazed lustrously. It was made an unknown feeling spread through her chest, though it was such a small gesture she couldn't help but feel a little special that Natsu had done this just for her. "Do you like it?" He questioned, his eyes bore into her cheek nervously, eagerly awaiting her answer. "It's beautiful, I love it." The smile evident in her voice, her gaze still glued to stars. "Did you do this yourself?" Tearing her orbs away Lucy glanced at the boy. Natsu laughed, "Ya, took me all day. I'm still trying to get all the glue off my fingers." He held up his hand, Lucy laughed at the patches of glue, noticing that parts of his fingers were stuck together. Doing a task like this with others was a great feat when it came to Natsu, but Natsu doing a task like this BY HIMSELF was almost unfathomable. "I know you're sad about not seeing the stars because you're stuck in here, so I thought I would bring them to you." His words reminded her of that time he had sailed the rainbow sakura tree down the river, the thought of this made her grin. Lucy threw her arms around Natsu, hugging him tightly a few stray tears leaked out of her eyes. He looked down in terror as he felt the wetness on his chest, "Thank you." He barely even heard her voice even with his heightened senses, rather he felt the movement of her lips as she formed the words confirming her gratitude. In return Natsu encased her with his fibrous arms and surrounded her smaller form. "Stay." Lucy spoke as she lifted her face to him. Though she would not admit it Natsu made her feel safe and happy, never had she known sleep better than when Natsu was by her side. The dragon slayer just nodded, his arms secured tightly. Lucy fell asleep watching the diamonds in the 'sky' that radiated a gleaming brilliance, and if you asked her she would swear on her life that she saw them twinkle.
