A/N: Heyo! College been stressful, but here is another chapter!
Please enjoy?
Morning came, and silence was the only thing that was heard as both Lucy and Erza laid in bed and slept. When Lucy was the first to wake, she was perplexed as she could feel how close Erza is close to her.
Feeling Erza's arms around her waist, and her head next to her neck, Lucy should've had trouble sleeping, as she had been struggling to get a good night sleep, but she had actually was able to have a decent sleep. She remained silent and still, slightly enjoying the position that she is in. She found it comforting for some reason, and she doesn't know why.
As the blonde stayed awake, she became more aware at exactly how close Erza was. She could practically feel the redhead's breast against her back, and her legs slightly entangled with hers. Lucy slightly blushed and tried moving a bit. But Erza, amidst her slumber, did not allow Lucy to move as she hugged the blonde slightly and firmly, and kept the distance to a minimal.
Lucy softly sighed and opted to stare at the wall in front of her. She tried to think of something to pass the time until Erza wakes up. But she couldn't think of anything as she was too distracted as Erza's legs tangled more with her legs. She was too distracted as Erza's breath tickled her neck. She was too distracted as Erza's arms were around her waist, slightly under her shirt. And she was too distracted as Erza's breast were more pressed against her back.
Lucy's face became slightly redder as she focused more on how close Erza was, and wanted to move, but the older woman was not letting her move an inch.
Maybe...if she tried facing her, she could get away?
Lucy tried moving and tried to move Erza's arms and legs as she struggled to change her position. When she was finally able to move, and sees that Erza's grip was loosened, she tried to get up.
But at that split second, Erza wrapped her arms around the blonde and tugged her close to her again, only where Lucy's face was stuffed between her breasts. This was not a good idea, the young blonde mourned as she registered how soft her breasts were.
Lucy immediately blushed and tried to move away, but Erza had a solid grip on her, and continued to sleep as she hugged the young girl in her arms. Lucy tried again and tried to use strength and push herself off of the older girl.
Unfortunately, she is too weak compared to the strength of the redhead. After couple more attempts, Lucy gave up and decided to just use Erza's chest as pillows.
The blonde sported a slight blush as she leaned into the soft mounds and let herself sink into them.
Lucy remained in that position for a few more minutes before she started to drift off again, leaning more into Erza's chest. Couple minutes later, Lucy was fast asleep again as she slept between Erza's soft mounds of flesh.
...
30 minutes later, Erza softly stirred slightly, and slowly opened her eyes. Yawning a little, she tried to move, but found herself restrained.
Perplexed by the inability to move, Erza looked down to see that Lucy had her armed wrapped around her tightly, with her face between her breast. She blushed a little at the sight of how adorable the blonde was being while sleeping between her breast and smiled.
She brought her hands and gently stroked Lucy's hair and stared at the young girl in admiration. She used her other free hand and held the girl close to her while stroking her long golden locks.
Erza looked at Lucy's face as she slept and smiled at how peaceful she looked. She continued to stroke Lucy's hair and enjoyed the small smile that was sported on the blonde's face.
Erza's thoughts ran from how peaceful Lucy looked as she slept, to how she would like to wake up to see the peaceful look of the blonde. She wanted to wake up to a beautiful pair of chocolate brown orbs that belonged to Lucy.
What confused Erza was on why she wanted to wake up to see Lucy besides her...of all people. Why Lucy? The more Erza asked herself the question, the more confused she gets, but the more confused she gets, the more she wants to stay by Lucy's side and not leave her. Why is this? Erza couldn't figure it out.
And she wanted to know why.
Why does she wants Lucy to be with her? Why does she feel so protective? Why does she feels so inclined to make sure Lucy isn't alone and that she is happy all the time?
Erza sighed a little before closing her eyes, her hand still performing the task of stroking Lucy's hair absentmindedly. She felt so comfortable right now, having Lucy in her arms like this. It felt so natural, and Erza could actually get used to the feeling. With a smile growing on the Redhead's face, silence was their only company. And it felt so peaceful. And Erza appreciated the silence.
Not another second, the silence was broken when Erza could hear some whimper from the blonde. The older woman looked down at the blonde in concerned and stroked Lucy's back to comfort her.
But Lucy continued to whimper in her sleep and started to move around a little. Erza pulled Lucy away a little and moved toward Lucy, and tried to calm her down, or wake her up from whatever is disturbing her.
The more Lucy thrashed around a little in her sleep, the more Erza was determined to keep the blonde safe, and opted to wake her up. But she soon learned the Lucy is a heavy sleeper.
Erza sighed before wrapping both of her arms around Lucy and held onto her tightly without letting her go. Lucy continued to move against Erza's grip, and was unable to penetrate the iron grip around her. After a few more minutes, Lucy soon calmed down and started to leaned into the redhead.
Erza didn't let go after the blonde calmed down. She wanted Lucy to feel safe, even in her sleep. Plus, Erza was comfortable with having the young mage in her arms.
Erza looked down at the blonde and noted a single tear running down Lucy's cheek. She frowned slightly before gently wiping the tear off of the blonde's cheek with her thumb. "It's okay Lucy. I'm here for you."
It took Lucy a couple minutes to fully calm down and leaned more into Erza. It wasn't long before Lucy was fast asleep again.
Erza smiled and keep rubbing Lucy's back. She glaze upon the sleeping beauty that slept peacefully in her arms, and relished the moment of the peaceful silence between her, Lucy, and their surroundings. Erza honestly wanted the silence to last forever. She wanted to stared down at Lucy and enjoy the sight of her sleeping in her arms.
Another 30 minutes later, and Erza was getting hungry. She looked down at Lucy for a moment before trying to get out of the blonde's grip so she could grab some food. But Lucy wasn't letting go, and she held onto the older woman more tightly.
Erza sighed a little and tried moving Lucy's arm off of her. But Lucy only snuggled closer to her, as if she didn't want Erza to leave.
Blushing a little, the redheaded girl leaned into Lucy's ears and whispered. "Hey...Lucy."
The aforementioned mages did not respond vocally, but snuggled more into the redhead's warmth.
Erza immediately blushed and smiles before shaking the blonde a little. "Lucy."
"Hmm...?" Lucy frowned a little in her sleep.
"Want to eat something?" Erza whispered in Lucy's ear as gently as she could.
Lucy opened her eyes a little and for a second, she panicked on where she was. She soon remembered being stuffed between Erza's breast. She blusher a little as still remained in the position before sitting up. "U-Um sure..."
Smiling, Erza sat up and patted Lucy's head. "What do you want? I can cook whatever you want."
"I-It can be anything..." Lucy stuttered while looking away.
"Alright." Erza stood up from the bed and looked down the blonde, remembering from the advice that she shouldn't leave the young girl alone. "Wanna hang out with me in the kitchen? Keep me company?"
Lucy turned to look at Erza. "And do what?"
Erza was silent for a second or two. "Wanna help me cook?"
"Eh?..." Lucy looked at the redhead, a bit suspicious. Erza had been acting strange since last night. Suddenly being all affectionate...and gentle. Was she going through a phase, or is she missing something? The blonde couldn't think of any reason why Erza would start being affectionate and gentle.
"Well?" Erza spoke up, snapping Lucy out of her reviere.
"Huh?"
"Wanna help me with cooking?" Erza repeated her question.
Lucy stared at the woman for a moment before softly sighing. "Sure..."
Erza smiled. "Great! Let's get started then."
"What will we be cooking?" Lucy asked as she reluctantly got off of the comfy bed.
"I was thinking strawberry cake." Erza said with stars in her eyes. Then she looked at Lucy with a determined look. "But I'll let you choose what you want to make."
"Eh?" Lucy frowned. "W-Well...I don't mind making strawberry cakes..."
Erza beamed and started taking the ingredients out. "Excellent! Then let start cooking!smallsmall silent chuckle escaped Lucy's mouth as she watched Erza running around the kitchen with excitement of a 10 year old. She honestly only saw this side one or two times since the day she had met the older woman, and it was quite rare to see this side. In any occasion...Lucy liked that passion that Erza has for specific things...especially anything regarding to sweets. And she found it cute, personally.
"Hey, what you doing there standing still? The cake won't bake itself" Erza called out, getting all of the necessary dishes out and cracked her knuckles.
Lucy immediately move and started to help Erza with cooking, slightly enjoying the side of Erza that she barely gets to see, and for some reason, she wanted to relish in the sight of a happy Erza that had gotten sweets. And what are these feelings?
With a little sigh, Lucy silently helped Erza with cooking the cake, while the redhead was eagerly awaiting for the mass of deliciousness known as cake, and she was greatly looking forward to them.
...
The cake is done, and is set out on the table, slices of them had already been consumed by the younge mages.
Erza reached out to grab another one, a small smile sported on her face as she enjoyed the taste of the cake, hungry for more, and hungry to taste them again.
Lucy was only satisfied with only eating one slice and opted to watch as Erza devoured the slices of cake. And soon, the size of the cake shrunk until there was nothing left.
"That was delicious!" Erza licked her lips and set the fork down.
Lucy hummed a little and kept her glaze on the table.
"Lucy...can we talk?" Erza spoke, now in her serious mode.
"Huh?" The blonde looked up at the redhead. "About what?"
Erza wondered for a minute on how to start to conversation. After couple of seconds, her opened her mouth. "About your father."
Lucy leaned against her chair, not liking where things are going, and remained unvocal.
"I-I...I talked to your father...not too long ago." Erza continued, keeping a close observation on the blonde
Lucy remained quiet and looked down on the table, clenching her hands.
Erza silently sighed and kept her glaze on the blonde. "You know you can talk to me...Right?"
"I don't know..." Lucy kept her glaze on the table.
