Third Person POV
Lucy, as of this moment, was very certain that Porlyusica had lost her damn mind. The woman wanted her to lay down next to Natsu... naked. While she could recognize that this was an important step when dealing with hypothermia, which Natsu somehow seemed to be suffering from even though I knew it was something wrong with his magic, I could also recognize how very dead both Natsu and myself would be if Laxus ever found out. It's not that she thought he would think she was cheating, but it was the principle of her being naked with another man in the room. Especially when she had yet to be in the same room with Laxus naked, much less the same bed.
Finally caving in and undressing, Lucy laid next to Natsu, completely bare except for her wearing underwear, wrapped her arms around his neck, and tried not to suffocate on the awkwardness.
She honestly found it completely strange that everyone always thought she would end up with Natsu. They couldn't be more wrong.
Finally taking a real look at Natsu, she couldn't help the tightening in her chest where she worried for him. He was such a dense sweetheart and she just didn't know how to reconcile the possibility of him dying with the boy she had come to think of as family.
Just as she was thinking these thoughts, Natsu sat up just as quickly as if he had never passed out. She could feel the heat begin to radiate off his body once more as she rolled a little to the side.
Suddently a feeling of immense relief rolled through her entire being. Her best friend was okay. The Fire Dragon Slayer would live,
"Natsu!" Lucy and Happy called out together.
"You dummy! How much are you gonna make people worry?!"
