Sorry I didn't update yesterday :( I was busy with homework, getting a Christmas tree, and decorating it. But I haven't given up on you guys! Anyway, this chappy is gonna be longer...I hope. Usually my chapters are 1,000-1,700 words long.
Disclaimer- I do not own Fairy Tail.
Lucy drifted awake once in a while. When she did, she heard voices.
"Big gash in arm….when will she wake up…?"
"Should've been there…..my fault…"
When she was fully awake, she opened her eyes slowly. She was staring at the ceiling in her and Natsu's room. The french doors leading to the balcony were open, letting in a slight ocean breeze, freshening the room.
She was sitting up straight now. She felt something warm in her hand. When she looked down she saw a sleeping Natsu's connected with hers. He was in a weird position: His knees on the floor, while his upper body was half on the bed with his head. He looked so peaceful right now.
Lucy gently let go of his hand to stretch, but stopped. Her hand flung to the wound, not stinging with a sharp pain, but found it wrapped heavily with gauze.
A little blood was seeping through, but otherwise it looked freshly wrapped. Maybe Mira had done it?...
She climbed out of bed, trying to not wake Natsu, and went to take a shower.
Lucy almost screamed when she looked in the mirror: He once silky hair looked like a rats nest, all muddy, and her body looked all dirty from her fall last night.
She just sighed, got undressed, and turned the fancy shower on.
It felt good. Especially when she used the strawberry scented shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
She was done in no time. When she got out, she dried herself completely off. She never blow dried her hair, though. It felt to frizzy, and dry as the Sahara Desert. Lucy went to go look in the mirror again, to find her normal self: pale skin, golden blonde hair, and brown eyes staring at her.
She just now realized how much she looked like her mother, except age wise. He mother...how was she doing? Did she miss Lucy?
Lucy walked out of the bathroom, searching for some clothes. Then, she found what she was looking for: Jean shorts, and a nice blue tank top. When did Ed put her clothes away? Oh well, it was nice of him.
She went back into the bathroom to change, put some makeup on ( mascara and eyeliner,) then styled her hair with her usual side ponytail, with a blue bow. She heard some sound of someone yawning when she was making final touch ups.
Lucy peeked around the corner of the door, to see Natsu waking up. She he saw her in the door, he smiled.
"Morning! How's your cut?" He asked, looking at her freshly bandaged arm.
"Good, it doesn't hurt anymore." She said, walking over to him. He stood up, towering over her.
Lucy put on a pouty face.
"Since when did you get so tall?!" She whined, craning her neck to look up at him.
All he did was laugh, and put his muscled arms around her waist.
"Ever since last year."
Lucy was still pouting, but put her good arm up around his neck.
"Well. How am I ever going to kiss you if you're all the way up there?" She asked, smirking now.
"Like this." He said, leaning down while Lucy went on the tip of her toes.
They did kiss: rather passionately, in fact. (I can't write kissing scenes. Not that is bugs me much anyway. ~)
The couple pulled away to breathe, onyx eyes meeting brown. They quickly pulled away when Mira opened the door, though.
"Breakfast is ready!" She sang, giggling while walking away. Lucy blushed scarlet, while Natsu looked excited about eating.
"Food!" He cheered, running into Gray in the hall.
"The hell?!" Gray said, looking mad.
"Move it, stripper!" Natsu said, body slamming Gray into the wall.
They shot back rude comments back and forth, racing down the hall. Lucy sighed, but smiled, and walked out the door, closing it behind her.
"Lu-chan! Hows your arm?" Levy asked, looking concerned.
"It's fine, Levy-chan. Did you read A Child Called 'It'?" Lucy asked, going into book mode.
Levy nodded, then getting into a deep conversation about the book.
She continued to talk about it all the way to the breakfast table, where everyone was sitting and passing along plates. Lucy sat down, with Natsu on her right and Levy on her left.
The Table was lively: Talking, fighting, and Mira cooking pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast.
When Lucy got her plate, It had bacon and eggs on it. She dug in, loving the flavor of them. The boys, of course, at like pigs.
"Dhis is gud, Mirah!" Natsu said, clearly happy.
"Natsu! Don't chew with your mouth open while talking to people. It is bad manners." Erza said, giving him the evil eye.
"A-aye!" He said, swallowing his food. Gray smirked and laughed at him, causing Natsu the narrow his eyes.
"What was that?" Natsu asked, glaring now.
"Oh, nothing. I was just thinking on how sad it was for you to be taught manners. I don't think you even know what those are." He said, taking another bite of his pancake.
"Sure I do, you-"
"NATSU. GRAY. I hope you two aren't fighting again." Erza said, using her scary voice.
"What? Us? Fighting?" Gray said, slinging his arm around Natsu, while he did the same.
"We're best friends, Erza!"
"Aye sir!" the said in usion, looking frightened.
"Good." Was all Erza said, nodding at them.
"Way to pick them, Lu-chan." Levy whispered and giggled.
Lucy just groaned, got up, and went to get a drink.
"So I was thinking…" Natsu said, staring at the beach path.
"Why don't we all go to the beach today?" he said, looking at Lucy.
Everyone agreed, especially Lucy. Shes never been to the beach before! She could finally wear her bikini!
"I'll pack lunch, then we can go."
Mira said, smiling.
"Finally, some relaxation time with my girl." Jellal said, putting his arm over Erza, who was blushing darker than her hair.
"Its settled then: We're going to the beach!"
That was kinda a crappy ending….oh well. Here's my new updating schedule:
Monday: Boxing With Love
Tuesday: Falling for a Gangster
Wednesday: Boxing With Love
Thursday: Falling for a Gangster and so on and so on. I thought I could update two stories every day, but its way harder and stressful than I thought it would be. :( But if I'm really in the mood the write, I might update a new story. :) I have a new one I plan on writing in a week or two: Kinda based on twilight, but NaLu style! And, the plot and details are changed. Til Saturday!
