~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~
"Goodnight," Lucy heard him mumbled, a small smile spreading across her lips before she mumbled back a goodnight. She knew she was falling for him little by little each and every day.
Lucy sighed as she looked outside, pulling the curtains to the side to stare at the rain that fell from the heavens above. Today, everyone was permitted to stay inside due to the rain and everyone was sleeping, talking, or playing bored games. The counselors communicated with their phones and food was served when the time came. They all had breakfast already and it started pouring around 2 so everyone rushed to their cabins when they were in the middle of doing activities. Now, they were stuck in their cabins till further noticed.
The kids seemed to be perfectly fine with this but Lucy was getting annoyed. Sure, she hated going out and getting dirty but she rather stay outside in the great outdoors but the stupid rain was ruining it for her. She didn't like rain just because it made her hair messy and some other things too. She just wishes the storm will pass by faster and hopefully it won't thunder.
Lucy hated thunder. It was the scariest thing next to her fear of heights, clowns, spiders, snakes and other things. Thunder was on the top of her list and she did not want to get laughed at by the kids in her cabin.
She sighed once more and turned around, noticing the kids were playing cards and board games, some sleeping or some talking in their bunks. Lucy looked around for the pink-haired counselor and noticed he was doing something with his phone; his body still lied out on his bed. He hasn't gotten up since breakfast and Lucy was worrying a bit.
Natsu Dragneel never stays still.
Lucy walked on over to him and stood in front of him, Natsu's eyes shifting to the big-chest counselor who stared down at him. "What?" He asked his eyes full of confusion. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
"Well you've been lying in your bed for the pass hour or so and you're the type who can't stay still."
"I'm checking in with everyone else and it's pouring outside so why not?" Natsu sat up, sighing a bit as he locked his phone and looked up at her once more. Lucy sat next to him and huffed, agreeing with his statement. This was the most boring day that she ever had at camp. "What is everyone saying?"
"Mom and dad say the storm isn't passing till maybe the evening." Lucy groaned and lied back on the bed, Natsu turning a slight bit to look at her lying on the bed. "What are we going to do till evening?"
"I don't know—what normal people do?"
"And that is?" Natsu became silent, tapping his chin with his pointer finger as he started to think. What did normal people do?
Natsu placed his phone in his pocket and leaned towards Lucy, the blonde blushing as he came dangerously close. He grabbed her hands and laced his fingers with hers, Lucy blushing at least 100 different shades of red. She couldn't find the words to describe this and she knew she was going to explode in seconds if he didn't stop.
But the thing was—she didn't want him to stop.
"We could kiss," He smirked at her shocked face. "Y—ye—"Lucy opened her mouth to speak but as soon as she was about to give her answer the lights went out and a flash of blue appeared, a loud crackling sound following after it. The girls screamed and Lucy screamed in fear, forgetting about everything for a while before flinging her arms around Natsu and yanking him in her arms. Natsu made a sound of surprise as he came in contact with Lucy's soft breasts, his ears still ringing after that sounds of screams died out in the cabin. "Natsu-Kun! Save us!"
"The hell happened?"
"Kyaah! The lights went out!"
"Lucy-Nee..!"
"Natsu-Kun, where are you?" Another flash of blue appeared outside and a crackling sound appeared once more, the cabin being filled with screams of terror. "God—will you guys just shut the hell up?" One guy screamed, tired of hearing the screams coming from the girl's lips. "It's just lightening!"
"Natsu, help!" Lucy squeaked, Natsu pushing himself up as he tried looking for a lantern or something. His moment of happiness died out when he felt Lucy trembling in his arms and the scream of horror coming from his lips. His ears were still ringing and he couldn't see anything making him stumble in the darkness cursing out every foul word he knew.
Once he found lantern that was used for emergencies he lit a match on fire and dumped it in the lantern, the small light laminating the place just a slight up. He waved it around to see girls in the corner all trembling and shaking in fear, the guys on their beds or looking around and Lucy under his covers, trembling about stopping the scary lightening. He dug inside his pants pocket to see the counselors spamming his phone about the lights going out and instructing him to do things. Natsu cursed once more and looked in the closet, listening to Erza's instructions on not wasting the lantern to use candles instead.
The pink-haired counselors found the candles and lit them, placing one where it was dark and finally had the cabin all lit up, a smile forming on his lips. "Don't worry you guys; the power just went out a bit. It'll be alright soon,"
"Natsu-Kun, I'm scared!"
"When are the lights going to come back on?"
"It's so dark!"
"Natsu!" Natsu chuckled a bit and walked on over to his bed, looking at the campers worried faces. He grabbed Lucy's hand and held it as he heard his name coming out of her lips, a reassuring smile on his lips. "Don't worry; hopefully it'll come back soon. Don't be scared—it's just a little lightening and stuff. You're all safe." The cabin started to go back to their usual chit-chat while Natsu pulled the blankets down Lucy's face, his eyes meeting her teary brown ones. "Hey, it's fine now."
"What if it t—thunders again?"
"I hope it won't. Besides, I'm here. I never knew you were scared of thunder."
"Now you do!"
"It's not like it's going to come after you."
"It could!" Natsu rolled his eyes and brought the blanket down, looking at her face which was scrunched up in worry and fear. He somehow found that adorable. "Come on; don't be like a scared kitty—I'll protect you. Come out of the covers," Natsu pulled on her but she pulled back, shaking her head side to side. "No!"
"It's not going to thunder aga—" Natsu started to say but a flash of blue and a loud crackling sound interrupted him causing Lucy and the girls to scream out again. Natsu and some of the guys cringed, that annoying ringing sound coming back. They seem to get louder every time it thundered. "Natsu!"
"Sorry, I'm here, don't worry." Natsu leaned down to gather her in his arms, the blonde flinging her arms around his neck. He slowly started to sit back up, bringing Lucy up along with him. He rocked her in his arms and smiled a bit, pulling back to look at her face. "Don't worry, I'm here and I'll never leave you."
It made Lucy feel a bit childish but she didn't care, she wanted to be one right now. "Forever?"
"Forever,"
"Finally the rain stops!" Natsu cried out in relief as he opened the cabin doors, grinning his huge grin of his. Lucy stepped behind him, peeking outside. "Now the ground is all wet and muddy!" She whined, Natsu scoffing. "Who cares? Who wants to have a dirt fight?" Natsu shouted enthusiastically making the guys in the chin shout out a enthusiastically making the guys in the cabin shout out an agreement. "No way!" Lucy shouted right after they agreed to Natsu's horrible idea, glaring at older male while the boys sighed in disappointment. "You're no fun, Luce."
"I am fun!"
"Then why won't you let us do a mud fight?"
"Because it's disgusting and dirty? I don't want kids covered in mud in the cabin!" Natsu stuck his tongue out at her and Lucy growled, causing Natsu to raise his hands in reason and back away before she hurt him. Natsu turned around and leaned against the wooden railing, looking up in the sky to see it was drizzling once again. He groaned and turned to look at Lucy who was scolding a child of doing something inappropriate "It's raining again," Natsu mumbled sadly, Lucy's head shooting up in surprise. "What?"
"It's drizzling. Do you think we could—" Natsu started to speak but stopped once he heard the pounding of water hit the roof and floor of the camp. Natsu and the others groaned, the pink-haired man entering the cabin to not get himself wet. "Damn it—so close!"
"It's not even supposed to rain this much in summer!"
"I'm hungry!"
"When is the rain stop?"
The cabin yelled out in frustration while Natsu and Lucy tried calming the people down. Once they were quiet they went back to what they were doing and leaving the two counselors to sulk in the corner of the room. "I wanted to go out," Lucy pouted, crossing her arms over her chest while sulking. Natsu raised his head as he considered doing something that could possibly get him killed in seconds but he decided to do it, knowing it'll be fine if he just ran away. "Luce?"
"Yeah?" Suddenly Natsu grabbed her arm causing her to look at him weirdly. He slammed the cabin door open and pulled the protesting blonde out the door, telling the children he'll be back he slammed the door shut leaving everyone confused.
"Natsu Dragneel, what the hell are you doing?"
"You said you wanted to go out, right?" Natsu grinned, pulling her down the railing while she screamed at him. "Stop it! My hair will get wet!"
"So what? Let's take a shower together."
"No!" Lucy squealed as she felt the cold water touch her skin, the blonde squirming around as she got drenched. Natsu pushed her and Lucy gawked at him, looking at him as rain poured down on the two. "There! Now we're both wet!" He grinned proudly causing Lucy to look at him in fury. "You . . . You idiot!" Lucy lunged towards him, Natsu grabbing her shoulders before she touched him. "Ah, ah, no touching."
"I'm going to kill you! Why the hell would you do this to me?" she screeched, causing the pink-haired male to smile. "Because, don't woman like rain?"
"Why would we like rain?"
"Because it's romantic or whatever you call it." Natsu said while trying to remember as his clothes stuck to his body, his spiky hair becoming all flat. "That's only when a couple kiss in the rain!" Lucy shouted, wanting to cry now. Her clothes and hair were now ruined—she hated rain now. Natsu stared at her for a moment before grabbing her arm, yanking her closer.
Before Lucy would process everything his hot lips were on hers and he was kissing her. And she was kissing him.
It lasted for a second before it thundered, causing the blonde to jump away from him. Natsu looked at her in confusion as Lucy looked back with pure horror and embarrassment. It thundered again and she jumped, squeaking this time. She flashed him a look before rushing inside the cabin before it thundered again and she got even wetter. Natsu watched as she slammed the door close on the cabin before he cursed to himself, running his hand through his wet pink locks. Why did he even do that?
"What the hell is wrong with me?"
