Lucy who was baking one day, and the next she was back to working for school.
"Gods these don't add up" she rubs her forehead, sitting on the bed with papers surrounding her
Her phone buzzes, she stretched her body to reach the other end. Her phone plugged in for charge
She taps at the new message, she got from the contact saved as Dragneel "wanna go out?" She reads out
"I wish. I could. But. I have. Work." She types, struggling with the way she leaned on the bed.
"I vould maybe helo?" She gets an immediate response "why are there typo's?"
"Maybe I could use some..." she thinks over it, typing the same and sending
She doesn't recieved a reply, surely he's coming over. Lucy looks back at her papers
He is coming over. He is comin-
She jumps out of the bed, rushing to the living room and cleaning all the discarded clothes she left to handle on the weekend
Then to her room, gathering her papers and moving to the living room
And Finally to the bathroom, making herself presentable
Why? Thisis how Ilook when I'm at home anyway.
She thinks for a moment but the bell rings
Lucy opens the door to a clearly drunk Natsu
"Natsu?" She calls out to him as he leans against the wall next to the door
"Luce~~~" he looks at her, his tipsy feet falling towards her
Lucy is quick to grab his shoulders, bringing him inside closing the door
"Why are you so drunk?" She turns around but the guy was not there
"Natsu?" She walks into the living room, where he was slumped on the sofa, looking at the papers
Lucy goes to the kitchen, making a quick lemonade, she takes it to him "how much did you even drink?"
Natsu looks away from the papers "I'm drunk, yes but I'm sane too" he gives a thumbs up
"Drink this" she makes him hold the cup, sitting beside him
"Did you just finish my work?" She looks at the papers with a lot of pencil scribbles
"Yeah, i'm smart remember?" He places the empty cup on the table
"How did you end up here?" She turns to face him
Natsu who was sitting sideways with one leg folded up on the couch,moves a bit to get closer to her
Should I also share things with you, like you did? Would you pity me or emphasize with me? Or do I just not tell you my silly
"Troubles" he whispered, the last word of his thought
His eyes dont leave her pink lips that were parted, the doe eyes looking at him. The inexplicable feeling making his already intoxicated brain to go frenzy.
The alcohol smell hits lucy's nostrils, she didn't mind though. It nothing new for her, she is used to these poisons, but the way natsu was leaning in...she was maybe getting pulled by an invisible force?
"Natsu...hey..." lucy speaks up, her voice not coming loud as she thought
"I keep playing this in my mind, should I make it real?" He meets her eye
Slowly his hand makes their way to her neck, while the other moving up the jaw
She leans into it, his hands feeling hot on her cheek but when she felt his breath on her lips she pulls away
"Maybe when you are sober, we can" she turns his face to the side, kissing his cheek
Letting out a chuckle, natsu falls into the couch "you are so mean" he whines
.◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
"Wake up" Lucy shakes natsu "Dragneel, wake up"
He groans, the sun rays hitting his face making him press his eyes
He turns his body to hide away but the bed felt weird, he slowly opens his eyes
Which then turn big as he sits up in a jolt, holding his head immediately
"Drink that with the pill, freshen up and come have breakfast" he hears through his headache
Eyes searching for the voice but lucy was already at the door leaving (yes they slept in different rooms)
He looks to the side, beside the lampshade was a mug of a hot drink and a pill.
He doesn't even think, downing the content and going to the bathroom
"I made the food spicey, you like it right?" Lucy says as she hears the kitchen chairs scraping
"If it's not to your liking, we can switch something light?" She places the food in front of the boy
He grabs the spoon, eager to fill his empty stomach
"Eat slowly, I woke you up early" lucy sits with him taking off her apron
Natsu decides to break the silence after having a few spoons.
"What did you mean by we, last night?" his sore throat feeling better
Shit lucy curses in her mind, her face mirrors her mind
"Yeah, I remember things even when I'm dead drunk" he waves his spoon to his head
Lucy huffs out "good for you"
Natsu and lucy finish the remaining time without the question getting answered.
"You can go home now" lucy tell him as he sits stiff on the chairs while she washes the dishes
"My house is too far, I can't make it on time to school" he closes his eyes, crossing his hands
"Will you show up in those dunk clothes to school?" Lucy tilts her head,
"I can change into those boy clothes you have" he points his thumb to the room he was sleeping in
Lucy lips curl to a smile, biting her tongue before saying "those are Gray's"
Natsu's forehead creases "say who?" He stands up walking towards lucy, biting his lip to control the same feeling which he felt last afternoon
"You're Frenemie, the soccer captain, the boy who is" she lets out a giggle "are you jealous?"
"I'm not, you think too much of me..." he stops at the half open room divider of kitchen and the hallway.
