Chapter 6 - I don't own Fairy Tail.
"I'm exhausted!" Lucy complained as she finally sat down on the couch. It had been a long week of moving in to their new home and they'd only just finished sorting it all out.
"I think I could sleep for a whole month after that!" Natsu exhaled, as he collapsed on to the seat next to her, sprawling himself out.
It had been hard juggling caring for a baby and trying to make their new house habitable. They hadn't had much sleep and both had been working round the clock to get it all done as quickly as they could. Lucy had given the key back to her apartment a few days ago, so now they were officially living together.
"I've never lived in a house that's so clean and homely before." Natsu said as he looked around at the newly decorated living area. Lucy had been very particular with how she wanted the place to look, it's probably why it had taken longer than expected.
"You do realise that now I'm living with you, I expect you to keep it that way, or…" She stopped, contemplating a good compromise that would catch the dragon slayers attention. "I won't make you dinner every night."
"Every night, huh? Is that a deal?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. He would totally put up with cleaning if it meant Lucy would cook for him every night. He loved it when Lucy cooked him food, she was a great cook! Her food was like nothing he'd ever had before. She knew exactly what he liked and she would always make loads with his enormous appetite in mind.
"Hmm… I guess it is. You clean, I'll cook, that sounds fair to me." Staring into his face, she leaned closer to him, "But, break the deal and you won't be getting any dinner." She smirked at him, eyes twinkling mischievously.
"But Lucy, I'd just end up trying to do it myself and burn the kitchen down. You know how careless I can be when I cook." Feigning indifference, he shrugged his shoulders and quirked his lips playfully.
He thought back on all the times he'd nearly burnt down Lucy's little apartment because he'd tried to make them something. It wasn't that he couldn't cook, he was just too impatient when it came to the stove, preferring to use his magic instead. The twinkle slowly faded from her eyes when she realised he was being quite serious.
"You wouldn't dare!" That impish glint was ever present on his face and it was making Lucy nervous. "I forbid it!"
"Try me." He said devilishly, why did he feel the urge to mess with her all the time? "I don't think you'd like the outcome though, Lucy." He leaned in so that his face was mere inches from hers, and teasingly blew hot smoke over her form.
He couldn't hold back his laughter when she gasped at his actions. He was such a bastard sometimes, it wasn't fair that he would always manage to get one up on her. Well not today, she was going to come out victorious for once. And she knew exactly how to do it.
"Oh, back to making threats now are we?" She breathed seductively. She ever so carefully brought herself forwards and climbed into his lap, locking eyes with him she licked her lips and pressed her voluptuous breasts firmly into his exposed chest, spilling out of her less than modest top. "Make me purr, Natsu..." She mewled, laying her head on his shoulder and putting on her best innocent expression, just like she did when she'd had one too many.
"Make you purr? I can do more than that." He growled, a smirk ever present on his face as he watched the redness appear once again on her milky skin.
"What?! Oh my-! Natsu, you can't say things like that!" She said, burying her head in her hands, she felt even more embarrassed now by her own actions. He'd been on to her the entire time! "What is it gonna take?!"
"I can think of a few ways, but acting drunk isn't one of them." He chuckled at her very red blush. "By the way, you have a great body and all, Lucy, but using it against me isn't gonna work either. I've seen you naked way too much for it to shock me any more."
"Wait, you like my body?" She asked, completely taken aback by what he'd said, she felt a little confused. If he liked it then why had he never shown any interest in it? It's not like she hid it or anything, her clothes were pretty revealing.
"Yeah, I thought that was obvious?" He tilted his head at her, now it was his turn to be confused. Had he ever said otherwise? He loved looking at her body, he had just gotten use to seeing her naked, because she seemed to always be naked. "I'm still a guy, Lucy. I went through puberty, just like the rest of 'em."
She leant back so that she was now kneeling between his legs. Why was it such a shock to hear that he liked her body? It was the first time she'd ever heard Natsu say something like that, it had just taken her by surprise is all. She felt those butterflies in her stomach again as she stared intently at him. He really had changed, he never would have spoken like this when they first met.
"Sorry, Natsu. I don't know what came over me. I guess I just wasn't expecting you to say that." She could see the confusion still written on his face, she looked down timidly, fiddling with her fingers, "I-It's just, you don't really act like other guys. They're quite quick to make comments about me, yet you never do. I've never even seen you look, not like that anyway."
"The guys that do that are usually gross, old perverts and they're only seeing from the chest down. But I'm seeing the whole picture, they don't know you like I do. And yeah, you have a great body, but you have a lot of great things, Lucy." He pulled her back into his lap, laying her head against his shoulder and wrapped his arms around her, wanting her to be more at ease. She snuggled into him, feeling his chest vibrate as he spoke. "What I really like to see is that sweet smile when it lights up your entire face, and those big brown eyes of yours that tell me everything even when you can't. I know who you are Lucy, and that gives me more satisfaction then staring at you in your birthday suit."
Natsu cuddled her close. He wanted her to feel comfortable around him, their entire relationship was built on loyalty and trust. If he spoke or acted like all those lechers, she'd run for the hills. Lucy was right, he didn't act like other guys, it'd always made him feel uncomfortable when he heard people comment on Lucy's looks when they were out. Some were down right sickening, but he couldn't react to them. As much as he wanted to burn every single asshole that made some sleazy remark about his blonde partner, he had to remember that Lucy was none the wiser to their twisted fantasies. She couldn't hear what he did and it was in those times he was glad for it. If Lucy knew half of what was said, she'd never leave the house again.
Lucy felt her nerves calm, revelling in his comforting hold. She was completely speechless, he'd just said the sweetest things to her. She felt a warmth swell in her chest and that familiar overwhelming feeling came over her again. That need to touch him, to be with him, to show him her affections in the only way she knew how. Her eyes flickered down to his lips, they had felt so soft and warm when she had brushed them before, would he object if she tried to touch them again? Happy wasn't due back from the market yet and Haru was asleep still. She moved slightly to face him, determination on her features.
They both felt the mood shift between them, the air was thick with yearning and need. Lucy leaned up towards his face as he slowly stooped down towards hers. Natsu licked his lips, he moved his hand to the nape of her neck to hold her in place, and took a moment to ogle at her pretty pink face.
Before her courage faded, she leant in, tilting her head, their noses ever so lightly brushed against each other. She opened her mouth, ready to accept his lips with her own. She could feel his breathing become heavier the closer she got, matching his harsh breaths with her own. Her eyes flickered between his eyes and mouth as their lips ever so softly pressed together.
"I'm back guys!" Happy yelled, flying in through the door. Catching a peek of the two mages together on the couch. He put his hand over his mouth and sniggered to himself.
Lucy, lost in what was happening, had jumped out of her skin as soon as Happy had come in, flying off of the couch in her panic and landing on the solid wooden floor. Her head had smacked hard against it and she'd yelped out in pain. Natsu had tried to catch her but she was gone before he could react in time. He looked down at the young blonde, wincing at the sound of her head connecting with the floor.
"Lucy! Are you okay?" Natsu asked her, concerned.
"Ow! My head!" She complained, her head was really hurting. She snapped her head towards the cat, why was he back so soon? "Couldn't you just come in the door like a normal person? Rather then scaring me half to death!" Lucy barked, not hearing Natsu's question in her annoyance towards the blue feline.
She regretted raising her voice instantly. The little whimpers coming from the basket indicated that Haru had been woken prematurely and now he was probably going to scream the house down. Natsu quickly stood, leaning over Lucy's form, holding out his hand to her to help her up and in one swoop she was on her feet, clutching at the painful lump forming on her head.
Happy hadn't taken any notice and had flown into the kitchen to put the food away, clamping down his ears when the baby started wailing at the top of his voice. Natsu stooped over the basket and picked the baby up, holding him against his shoulder. He slowly rubbed the infants back, hoping it would soothe him, but it only seemed to agitate him further. He must have been in a deep sleep if he was this upset from waking up. Lucy retrieved a bottle of milk and gave it to Natsu to warm up. Sitting down on the couch, he laid Haru down on his lap and began to feed him the bottle, instantly silencing him.
"Did Mama wake you up with her shouting?" Natsu said jokingly to Haru. He looked up to Lucy who had recovered from her fall and chuckled at her annoyed face. Before returning his attention to the baby, and smiling, "But I think we can forgive her."
"It was that damn cat's fault not mine! But at least he's settled now, it's amazing what a bottle of milk can do." Lucy said as she smiled down at the baby, gently caressing his cheek with the back of her finger. She turned her attention to Happy, "Speaking of food, did you get everything we needed at the market, Happy?"
"Sure did! I even found a stall that sold lots of fish, so I bought loads of that." Happy beamed. He took all the fish out that he'd bought to show Lucy, grinning from ear to ear.
"Wow, that's a lot of fish. I guess we're having that for dinner tonight, sound good Natsu?" She asked, as she busied herself in the kitchen.
"Sounds great! I'm starving!" He said, placing the 'milk drunk' baby back in his basket to finish the rest of his nap.
With their full bellies from dinner, all four of the inhabitants had fallen asleep in the living area, exhausted from the previous week. Natsu had been the first to wake, as the evening sun lit up the room and gave it an orangey hue. He blearily opened his eyes, getting them use to the dull light.
He could feel the warmth of his blonde partner up against him, there were little snores coming from the tiny, swaddled baby in the basket next to the couch, and the purrs of a little exceed asleep next to him. He let out a breath and smiled to himself. What a beautiful evening it was, he had his three most favourite people close to him and he couldn't have been happier.
Haru had been such a good boy for them whilst they had been busy doing up their house. He had appeared more alert than usual during the day, taking in what was around him. It was an absolute privilege to experience the world through the eyes of a baby, everything was so new and exciting. Natsu felt like a child again himself, he couldn't wait for Haru to start walking and talking. They were all going to have so much fun!
Lucy liked to take a more practical approach to parenting. She had read so many books on babies in the short time they'd had him, that Natsu was amazed by her dedication to educating herself. He was also quite impressed by his own ability to remember the snippets of information she would randomly chuck at him when reading. He knew more about babies now, then he did about himself, he was sure. He couldn't complain though, the information did come in handy at times and other times not so much.
He peered down at the celestial mage who was fast asleep on his chest, she'd let the last week catch up with her and now she was out for the count. She pushed herself to the limits when it came to being a mother, she was devoted for sure. She looked so radiant holding the tiny baby, when she cuddled him and kissed him, or when she spoke to him. There was this delicacy about her that she only reserved for Haru and Natsu had never seen anything so angelic before. She'd beam at the baby with the biggest grin on her face, a twinkle in her eyes as she sang him an old lullaby to soothe him to sleep or stroke his small tuft of hair and kiss him goodnight. She looked truly blissful with their baby in her arms, she had taken so well to being a mom, even with all the extra worry she carried.
Natsu carefully moved a few tendrils that had fallen into her face and smiled at her sleeping form. He thought back to the little kiss they'd shared, if you could really call it that. It seemed more of a gentle peck then anything else, but it was a start. She'd been the one to make the move this time, he needed her to go at her own pace, it was the safest way. As much as he'd wanted to just pull her in and claim ownership of her lips and mouth and any other place he so desired, her trust was more important. Their friendship meant everything to him and he wasn't about to risk that for some carnal impulse.
He frowned, the word friend didn't seem to fit right any more. She was his best friend and regardless of their relationship status, that would never change. It just felt like they were moving beyond the realms of friendship, although it seemed they had been more than friends for longer than both had actually realised. It'd been a slow, gradual change, but they still hadn't reached the next level. What even was the next level? Lovers he assumed. His heart started beating rapidly at the very thought, him and Lucy being lovers was something he'd wanted for long enough, and now he was sure Lucy wanted the same, so he supposed he was willing to wait just that bit longer for her, then there'd be no stopping him.
Snapping Natsu out of his thoughts, he heard a little whimper coming from the basket and leant over slightly to look at the tiny fella. Expecting him to be awake, but what Natsu saw melted his heart. Little Haru must have been dreaming about something good, because there was a small smile playing on his face. He remembered Lucy saying that babies couldn't smile until they were over a month old, and until then it was just practice, but it didn't look that way to him. Natsu couldn't stop his own smile from breaking out, his tiny baby was grinning in his sleep, practice or not, it was the cutest thing he'd ever seen. And just like that it was gone, he kinda felt bad that Lucy had missed it but he was sure the infant would do it again, but maybe next time it would be a real one.
He sighed, he should probably get them all upstairs to bed, he was still tired himself and fancied snuggling with Lucy somewhere more comfortable. He was careful to stand as he managed to manoeuvre his way out of her hold, laying her back down onto the couch. Natsu picked Haru up in one hand, gently hushing him as he stirred and held Happy in the other before carrying them both upstairs, placing one in the crib at the bottom of their bed and the other in his hammock beside it.
He quietly made his way back downstairs to fetch Lucy, only to find she was sitting up, yawning sleepily. She looked a hot mess, her eyes were barely open, hair was all tangled from the position she'd been sleeping in and he was sure there was dribble down her chin. He had to try and contain his grin, she looked so funny.
"Where's the baby Natsu?" She spoke airily, desperately trying to keep her eyes open.
"He's in his crib. You look exhausted, maybe we should get to bed too." He said as he walked over to her and held out his hand. "Come on, we should try and get some sleep before Haru wakes up."
She nodded, rubbing at her sleep ridden eyes. She took his hand and followed him to the stairs. He felt a tug on his arm and looked back at her. She hadn't realised how unsteady she was on her feet and stumbled suddenly over her own foot, arms flailing, falling towards the floor again, but this time she never hit it. She could feel strong arms around her waist, holding her in place. Natsu turned her around and straightened her up, studying her face closely.
"Careful there, Lucy. I don't want you falling again and hurting yourself." He warned. It'd been one long week and they both needed to get to sleep.
"Now you mention it, my head is still hurting from earlier when I hit it." Natsu brought his arm up and clutched at the lump on her head, warming his hands a little, soothing the pain away and she sighed in relief. He was quick to sweep her off of her feet and turn back around. She squeaked as she was hoisted into the air. "What're you doing Natsu, I can walk!"
"Can you?" He chuckled, as he ran up the stairs and entered their bedroom, he placed her softly onto the bed, shrugging his clothes off and slipping in beside her.
"Night Natsu." She barely croaked out in her sleepy state. She was snuggled up to him in an instant, her breathing slowly evened out as she fell back to sleep.
"Night weirdo." He smiled at her, she really was such a weird one sometimes. But he was glad, it's what appealed to him about her in the first place.
It was still dark when she heard the little baby stir from his sleep. Lucy got herself up and walked over to the crib, looking down at the grumbling youngster. She smiled at him and picked him up, hoping he wouldn't start crying if she was quick enough. She looked over to Natsu who had remained asleep, which was unusual, he usually heard Haru stir before she did. She felt a little guilty about him always waking up first, she'd insist on taking it in turns with the night feeds, but sometimes, if she didn't wake, he'd leave her asleep and see to Haru himself.
Not wanting to disturb him this time, Lucy took Haru out of their bedroom and walked down to his. She changed his diaper before sitting down and feeding him his bottle.
"Take it easy little man, you'll make yourself sick!" She whispered.
He would always drink his milk too quickly, it was like he was starving all the time. Were they not giving him enough? He never cried when he finished the bottle, so that must be a good sign? Was it the powder they were feeding him? Maybe they should try something else and see if that would help? She could feel herself getting more and more worked up the longer she thought about it.
Trying to rid herself of such thoughts, she smiled at Haru, who was quietly enjoying his milk. Even in the darkness of the room, the moonlight would bounce off his wide eyes and make the beautiful blue even more dazzling. Lucy would often find herself looking into his cerulean hues, they were so bright and innocent, yet they'd witnessed so much already. Not that he would ever remember any of it, but he'd still lived through it and that was enough to want to keep him safe.
Lucy pulled the empty bottle from his mouth and placed it down beside her. As carefully as she could, she brought him up to lay on her chest so she could wind him and settle him back down to sleep. As he lay there, his chubby cheek resting firmly against her bare skin, right where her heart beat was, she lightly started tapping his back and began to sing a quiet tune to him to help him drift off.
"Baby mine, don't you cry…" She began, trying to keep her voice as low as possible, so she didn't disturb Natsu or Happy. "Baby mine, dry your eyes…"
It was an old lullaby her mother would sing to her as a child, it would always send her off to sleep, it was so soothing and calm and it seemed to have the same effect on Haru. She'd sung it to him a few times now and he would always fall asleep before the song finished. She continued to sing, memories of her own childhood playing out in her mind, the happy moments from when her mother was still alive.
"But your so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine…" She finished.
Frowning, she realised the baby was still awake, and he hadn't yet passed any wind. She couldn't lay him down now, or he'd end up bringing it all back up. She held him out in front of her to make sure he wasn't in any distress, she couldn't see anything wrong, so why was he so wide awake?
And it was in that moment she found out the harsh truth. Within seconds, Haru retched and she was covered in baby vomit and it smelt rancid. She could feel bile gurgling in her own stomach as she tried to not breathe in the smell. It was everywhere! All down her front, in her cleavage, on her face, and probably in her hair too. Luckily, the baby didn't have a drop on him, he'd projected it all at her. She looked at him with horror all over her face, but managing to keep her cool. She wasn't angry at him or anything, just shocked by how much had come out of such a little person.
"Was mama's singing that bad, huh?" She tried to smile at him, but it was starting to congeal on her skin and it made her feel all sticky and gross.
"I wouldn't say it was bad, I liked it, but I couldn't say the same for that smell!" Natsu said as he appeared in the door way, nose covered with his scarf. "Whatcha doing in here?" He asked curiously. He was sure he put Haru to bed in their room last night.
"Natsu! I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you, I was trying to keep the noise down so you didn't wake up!" She gasped, not expecting him to be standing there. Her eyes locked on to his alluring half naked form. Wait! He'd just said he liked her singing, did that mean he'd been listening? "You heard my singing?! I thought you were sleeping? How long have you been standing there?"
"Not that long, I heard some of it as I woke up and then came to find you, although, with a smell that strong, it wasn't hard." He said, grinning at her, she looked pretty awful and was in need of a long shower. "Was he guzzling again?"
"Like always! It makes you wonder if we're feeding him properly. I've read so much on feeding newborns, but the information on bottle feeding is limited, nowhere really explains how best to do it. I guess It's not really the preferred method of feeding infants, but it's our only option." She blurted. The worry from earlier had still been playing on her mind and she'd just rambled it all out to Natsu.
"Hold up Lucy! Why don't you go have a shower first and we can talk about it once you're more comfortable?" He could see this was something that had been troubling her and if it helped by talking to him about it, then he would listen. He walked over to her and took the baby out of her arms and tucked him into his. His grin returned as he held his nose to emphasize his distaste, "And because you stink!"
Glowering at him, Lucy shoved the fire breather out of the way playfully, quickly making her way to the bathroom to take a shower. He chuckled as he watched her leave the bedroom. He heard a little gurgle coming from the small bundle and looked down. He didn't realise how bright eyed the infant was, he didn't look like he was going to be sleeping anytime soon. Usually, Haru would fall asleep as soon as he'd finished his milk, but Natsu imagined being sick was quite the unpleasant experience for the little guy, one the dragon slayer was all too familiar with.
"Puking isn't fun, is it? You know, daddy gets sick whenever he goes on anything that moves. I feel your pain, buddy!" Natsu said softly as he cuddled the little baby close to him.
He walked back into their own bedroom and sat on the bed with him, the early morning sun had slowly started to rise, it could be seen clearly from the bedroom window and was beginning to light up the room. He placed the baby down on his back, against the pillows and laid down on his side next to him. He watched as Haru's arms and legs jerked everywhere and his eyes were wide taking in his surroundings. It was fascinating to watch his two week old son make sense of the world.
"Are you feeling better now, Haru?" Natsu asked, leaning in closer so the infant could see him. "You're so lively this morning! Maybe mommy and daddy should take you to see everyone at the guild later? Would you like that?" His face dropped suddenly, as if remembering something he'd tried to put to the back of his mind.
Knowing he couldn't run from it forever. They would have to go to the guild anyway at some point. They were slowly running out of Jewels and as much as he didn't want to leave Haru to go on a job just yet, it was something that needed to be done. He'd have to find a way to bring it up with Lucy, he wasn't sure how she would take leaving the baby for the first time especially with everything else she seemed to have on her mind.
He knew the guild would take care of Haru while they were gone, that wasn't the issue. The problem was being separated while Haru was so young, he was still getting use to his new life with him and Lucy, it'd been over two weeks now and Natsu felt that just hadn't been long enough. He loved going on missions with Lucy and Happy and taking in Haru hadn't changed that, he just couldn't wait for the day where they could all go on adventures together.
Unfortunately, he had no elaborate plan this time to surprise Lucy with, he didn't have 'life time savings' or anything like that. Now he wished he did, it would've been super helpful with their current situation. He also knew Lucy wasn't any better, especially when she had all that rent to pay. It was funny to him considering her background, how bad she was with money, she never seemed to have any. He wondered if her finances would be better now that she didn't have bills to pay?
Natsu, not wanting to dwell on that topic any more, looked at the baby beside him and smiled. It would all be worth it really, when they had Haru to always come home to. He pulled the baby into his bare chest and placed his warmed hand onto his belly and gently moved it in circular motions to see if it would send the little one off to sleep. He looked down in amusement at the infant who was struggling to keep his eyes open. It was catching, as the fire mage felt his own eyes slowly shut and within seconds both had fallen asleep, father and son cuddled up to one another.
When Lucy entered the bedroom, her heart felt like it was going to explode. The way Natsu was cradling Haru reminded Lucy of how a dragon would protect it's treasure. The baby was snuggled in to his father's hold, arms splayed out next to his head, with Natsu curled around him. It was just adorable! He really was an amazing dad to their son, she couldn't have asked for more. After ogling for longer than she'd meant to, she quickly sorted herself out and slipped carefully into bed on the other side of Haru. Curling up to them both, she hoped she might get a few extra hours sleep.
"That smells better." She heard Natsu mumble, he opened his eyes to look at her. "Did you still want to talk, Luce? I'm all ears!"
"Well, I just can't seem to find any information on how to bottle feed correctly and whether we're doing it right." Lucy said quietly, matching Natsu's volume. She did feel better after a shower, but her worries were still prevalent. "Breastfeeding is the only thing that comes up. I know that it's better for babies and it helps with bonding, but it's not available to us, obviously."
"That's not really the problem though, is it?" He understood now. It wasn't really about the feeding or the bonding, they were just fragments of a much larger problem. One that had been slowly eating away at her over the past couple of weeks.
"No, I guess not. I've tried to ignore it and tell myself I'm just being silly, but it just doesn't go away. I want to be a good mom and do what's best for him, that's all." She whispered, looking down at the sleeping baby, no longer able to meet Natsu's intense gaze. It shocked her at how quickly he was able to read her, she was convinced he knew her better then she knew herself sometimes.
"Lucy, when Haru is old enough to understand, he's not going to care who brought him into the world or how you fed him." He moved closer to her and put his forehead against hers, Haru nicely wedged in between them. "When he looks at you, he's going to smile at the person that gave him the life he has. The woman that gave him a home, and a family, all because of one selfless decision to call him your own. He'll see his mom and that's the way it should be."
"Thanks Natsu, but you're forgetting one thing. One vital thing that shouldn't be ignored." She said smiling sweetly at him.
"And what's that?" He asked, curiosity getting the better of him.
"You. We're in this together remember? I don't tell you enough, but you really are the most incredible, doting father our son could've ever hoped to have. You're so protective and completely at ease with him, Haru really is a lucky little boy to be able to call you his daddy." She leant up and kissed Natsu's cheek, her smile never wavering, "Igneel would be so proud of you, Natsu." She moved back a little and placed her head back on the pillow and made herself comfortable, tiredness washing over her.
Natsu laid there for a moment just staring at her, he hadn't realised just how much he needed to hear her say that. It was so easy for him to just get on with day to day life, that he never took the time to think about his own feelings. Her words had brought on a wave of emotions he didn't even know were there, it'd made tears pool in his eyes and as he tried to blink them away, some dribbled down his cheeks. But he didn't mind, they were happy tears.
He couldn't stop himself from grinning, Lucy really was a beautiful person inside and out, she made him truly happy. He looked down at the slumbering infant between them, still snuggled up to his chest. Natsu smiled lovingly towards the little boy, Lucy was right, Igneel would have been proud of the life he'd made for himself. He wished, deep down that he could have met Haru, he would've been so happy for Natsu to have finally found a family of his own.
After a while of watching Haru sleep, he suddenly remembered what he needed to talk to Lucy about, maybe in this sort of mood she wouldn't take leaving the baby so badly. He tore his eyes away from Haru and looked back up to Lucy, about to call out her name when he realised she was fast asleep. He quirked his lips, and sighed. He guessed that was a conversation that would have to wait until later. Snuggling back down, he closed his eyes, allowing the sleep to finally take him. Hopefully, Haru would allow for a few more hours in bed.
Hi! So this took a little longer to come out, so sorry for that. The lullaby Lucy is singing is the one from Disney's dumbo if you hadn't guessed already, I just thought it was super sweet! I hope you enjoy!
