Hey guys! Sorry for not updating for a week, but I had some problems, too much homework and internet issues. I hope you will forgive me!
A day after first seeing how Natsu can create illusions with fire, Lucy couldn't stop thinking about the grace of the flames Natsu created. This morning she was staring blankly at where Natsu was supposed to sit. He was late.
''Morning Luce...'', she heard his voice and he walked in front of her, yawning.
''Hey Natsu!''
Natsu looked awfully tired. He slowly sat on his place and started eating extremely slow, exactly the opposite of how he usually eats. His head was heavy, he was barely managing to keep it from falling on the table.
''Natsu, is something wrong?'', Lucy asked, looking at his ever-so-tired face.
''Nothing... I just... didn't get enough sleep tonight...'', he barely said, through the yawns.
''It's because of me, isn't it...'', she sighed. ''Finish eating and go to sleep Natsu...''
''But we're not allowed to go in our rooms until the end of the day... isn't that what gramps said?'', Natsu mumbled, trying to keep his eyes from closing.
''We'll sneak in your room. Nobody will bother you from sleeping'', she smiled.
''But what will you do...?'', he yawned.
''Watch over you. Who knows if somebody will try to get into your room? You'll get busted, and I won't let that happen, won't I?'', she smiled at him.
Natsu tried to smile while yawning and managed to finish eating and get up. Gray and Erza tried to follow them, but were distracted by Levy punching Gajeel for not being nice again.
Lucy helped Natsu sneak up into his own room. He fell on his bed and asleep instantly...
Lucy watched the sleeping Natsu. He looked cute and peaceful that way. He wasn't the noisy Natsu when he was asleep. Lucy started looking around in his room. His room was very, VERY empty. He had a desk next to his bed, with a small lamp on it and something else. A shiny thing, covered up. She took it in her hands. It had a note.
'For Luce.'
It was a pink necklace. It was the prettiest she saw. Why didn't he gave it to her earlier? Idiot Natsu...
She watched Natsu for over two hours. It was noon already. Natsu slowly opened his eyes and met her gaze.
''Hey Luce!'', he grinned, scratching his eyes.
He didn't realize she was wearing a pink necklace that was on his desk before.
Hey guys! Hope you like it! The special character is coming in the next chapter! Again, I apologize for my one-week absence, hope you'll forgive me. I'll start another fanfic, named 'Keeper of the Flames'. It will be a long one. See ya' later!
