My eyes felt groggy like they always did when I woke up early in the morning. I didn't open my eyes right away for that reason. Well that and I was extremely comfy so I didn't want to have to get up. Opening my eyes meant that it was morning and that I should get up. But keeping them closed meant that it could still be midnight and I can go back to sleep.

Besides, even if I wanted to get up, my arms felt like lead. I must've stayed up pretty late last night I guess, I don't know what because the memories were pretty hazy, but I was really hoping it's not because I was drunk. No, I didn't have a headache so that was a good sign. It was kind of strange though, my bed seemed smaller then what I was used to, and the blankets were a whole lot fluffier. Not to forget that I had a roundish warm thing on my chest. My chest that wasn't bare...even though I normally sleep with only my boxers.

Is shifted my arm a little underneath whatever weight it was under to get a bit more comfortable. I let my head rest back onto the fluffy pillow, secretly enjoying how fluffy it was. I let my mind wander off a bit as I started to drift off to sleep. It was relaxing just lying here, only able to hear the soft breaths of the person next to me, and my own thoughts. The comforting feeling that I wasn't alone, that I would never be alone. It all ended quickly by the sound of my ring tone for a certain pervert.

I groaned when I heard the chorus for the song 'Ice Ice Baby,' knowing full well who was calling me. I opened my eyes and reached over onto the bedside table to grab my phone, noticing that the bedside table was on the wrong side, but then I noticed who the person was. Who the girl was, to be more exact. Her golden blonde hair rested on the side of her body, exposing her face. The first thing I thought that it was her. The one I had thought I lost forever. The cat witch disguised as a mortal. Immediately I could feel my heart racing as I believed that possibility, but it soon ended when I saw her red and swollen eyes.

The memories of the past night came swooping back into my head. Lucy had a fever the night before, so I brought her some tea that she never drank, and a wet cloth on her forehead that fell off over the night. She was so out of it then, barely even awake, that I don't blame her for not drinking the tea. She could barely keep her eyes open- scratch that- she couldn't keep her eyes open. Lucy kept whispering 'Papa' a lot last night too, and each time, more tears fell from her eyes. And being the decent human being I was, I had stayed with her for a little bit. Making sure she was okay, changing the cloth, and keeping her warm. When I had finally decided to leave and go to my bed, she grabbed my arm. She begged me to stay, claiming that she didn't want to be left alone. She didn't want me to leave her like the others. There was so much desperation in her voice that I couldn't deny her.

So I ended up lying in her bed with her until she fell asleep, apparently I fell asleep too though.

"Hello? Natsu? You there?" I heard the annoying voice coming from the phone. I winced a little at the sudden noise but turned it down quickly so that Lucy would't wake up. Because I'm a decent person. And don't get the wrong idea, I'm not enjoying lying here with Lucy's head on my chest, I'm just doing this because she's sick. Otherwise I would move.

"Yeah I'm here, Icicle breath." I grumbled, but quietly so I wouldn't wake her.

"Well that's good because Erza is going TO KICK YOUR ASS!"

"What? Why?" I asked, noticing that he was now speaking a bit more quiet, except for that last part of course.

"It's ten o'clock dude! Where the hell have you been?" He asked as I widened my eyes, shock filling my body. Shock and fear.

"Was out late last night." I lied and attempted to get off the bed by slowly moving Lucy's head off of me, but like I said before my arms felt like lead and Lucy was on my other hand, so I landed with a thump back on it.

"Wait were you at the bar? I thought they found out that your fake ID was...well fake?" Gray questioned a bit louder this time. Instead of answering him, I glanced over at my other hand that was underneath Lucy, hoping to get it out of there so I could get ready for school. Of course when my eyes trailed down to my hand, I realized where it was, and decided to make a dumb comment to myself. But of course it had to be out loud.. "And that's her butt.."

"WHO'S BUTT? YOU BROUGHT BACK A GIRL?" He screamed so loud that he almost pierced my eardrum "OH MY GOSH ERZA IS GOING TO KILL YOU FOR GOING TO A BAR, LOSING YOUR VIRGINITY TO A GIRL THERE, AND SKIPPING CLASS!"

"She won't find out, and keep your voice down." I muttered into the phone, successfully getting my hand away from that area, but I still couldn't get up.

"What? What's that? Sure I'll ask him." Gray said, obviously holding the speaker on his part of the phone before moving his hand away and speaking back into it "Mr. Clives wants you to make sure that it's really a girl."

"What the hell man? Are you telling the class about this?" I ask in astonishment. No way..not even Gray would do that right? He's just bluffing. Definitely just bluffing.

"No." Gray answered and I sigh of relief, a sigh that I would regret "You're on speakerphone!"

"I hate you."

"Erza says hi."

I growled into the phone before hanging up on him. Bastard..

I looked over at Lucy who was still sleeping soundly, unaware that she was using my pillow as a chest. No wait, my chest as a pillow. Damn I just ruined that whole line...

Anyways, I let my head rest on the pillow again, my eyelids felt like a there were a dozen anchors on them. Maybe I could just stay like this for a little while..Don't get me wrong though. It's not because I tolerate her or anything!

Just that this pillow is fluffy...

Who doesn't love fluffy pillows? They bring all the boys to the bed xD. So I'm going on a trip next week, and might not be able to update much. But that means that you'll get a longer chapter! YAYY!

Three cheers for Chaos!

YAYYYYYYYYYY!
