Chapter 2
The Rainbow Tree Scheme
Lucy's P.O.V
I can't believe I got sick, it just had to be today of all days. It couldn't have been like, tomorrow? I don't get why everyone calls me lucky Lucy, there is nothing lucky about me; it is just the opposite. Today was the day I was finally going to get to see the beautiful rainbow trees. They sound so beautiful the way everyone has described them. I could have used the setting for a story idea. I just had to get sick today.
I'm laying in bed with my cute bunny printed pink shorts on and a normal white t-shirt. Being sick is making me so tired, so I hope under the covers of my bed and try to go to sleep. It doesn't take me too long to succumb to darkness.
I'm awakened, in what I guess is a couple hours later, by the sound of rocks being thrown against my window. At first I ignore it and try to get back to sleep, but whoever it is, is relentless and would not stop making that detestably, annoying racket. So, with a groan, I reluctantly get out of my bed and trudge slowly to the window.
I look out my window and sigh; I should have expected it to be him. Only he would bother a sick girl. I open the window tentatively, dreading what he wants now. Couldn't this wait until I was, you know, awake?
"Natsu," I say tiredly, bringing my hand up to try to rub the sleepiness out of my eyes.
"Hiya Lucy," he says his normally energetic self.
"Natsu, why are you at my house and bothering me now," I ask, yawning, still beyond tired. Maybe this will be quick, I think hopelessly optimistic.
"I have something I have to show you," he says, and then he starts to climb up the apartment building to my window.
"Can't it wait until another time, I'm not feeling up to whatever it is you want me to do," I say, putting my hand on the window, ready to shut it at any moment.
He just ignores my question and continues climbing. I consider shutting the window on him but I rationalize that he will most likely break it to get in, so there is really no point in closing it. Instead, I leave the window and go back to bed. Maybe if he thinks I went back to bed, he will change his mind and not bother me. I am not that lucky.
I am in bed for a minute and I am already almost back to sleep when I hear the clatter of the window. I vaguely hear his loud footsteps coming closer, but I ignore him in favor of more sleep.
"Lucy," he whines, "come on, get up."
"No, too sleepy," I manage to groan out quietly, but with his excellent hearing he manages to hear me perfectly.
"Well if that's the way you want it," he says, but I can't wrap my muddled mind around what he said.
All of a sudden the warmth of my blankets is gone and I am no longer laying down on my bed. The sudden change saps the tiredness right out of me and now I am wide awake and ready to kick.
"Natsu, put me down now," I yell at him.
He just grins downs at me and says, "No way. I told you to get up and you didn't listen to me, this is your punishment."
"Come on Natsu, I'm sick and I am not feeling well," I whine, wanting to be put back down into my comfy bed.
"I promise, it's worth it," he says comfortingly to me, holding me closer. I feel the natural heat of his body and I snuggle closer to the heat, cold now that I am no longer under my bed sheets. I wonder what in the world it is he wants to show me.
To my rare luck and to the safety of my sanity, he decides to go to the door and leave like a normal human instead of jumping out the window; that would have fried out my nerves. I may be able to jump out of a hundred story building in the heat of the moment to get away from those bastards, but that doesn't mean I want to make it a regular occurrence. I trust Natsu with my life, but that doesn't mean I want to test that trust every chance I get.
When we get to the street, people start to give us weird looks. Then they see the guild mark on us and shrug it off. They are used to our guild being weird and doing weird things. People around here usually associate Fairy Tail as loud, rowdy, destructive, and just plain weird. While all of that doesn't account to me, it does for the rest of Fairy Tail, especially the pink haired idiot who decided to kidnap me.
We are soon past the town and after a little walk, we reach a big clearing. I look around, confused on what he is trying to show me. I hope he didn't just bring me here to have us train, on another one of his whims, or for some other ridiculous reason. If I find out that's true, I promise, I will Lucy kick him to Erza.
Natsu takes me a little further and points to something to his left. I look at where he points and I gasp when I see what he has to show me.
It is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It is the rainbow tree that everyone went to see today. The rainbow leaves literally sparkle in the sunlight, making them look like colorful diamonds. The sight is dazzling, truly one to behold. I start to tear up out of happiness and the sheer beauty of the tree. I had thought I wouldn't get to see this, what a sight to miss.
Natsu sees my tears and panics. "What's wrong," he asks me desperately. "Why are you crying," he asks in a panicked voice.
I smile at his concern. "I'm just so happy," I say, emotionally. I am blubbering I am so emotional right now.
I hear him sigh in relief. "You're so weird. Who cries when they are happy," he asks mockingly, though not unkindly.
"Shut up," I say sniffing, wiping the tears from my eyes vigorously.
"Can you put me down against the tree please," I ask.
Natsu doesn't say anything but he makes him way over to the tree and places me down against it.
I smile up at him in gratitude. "Thank you for all of this. The tree is truly beautiful, I am glad I got a chance to see it. I am so glad I have you as a best friend," I say and give him a blindingly bright smile, filling it with all my happiness. He looks positively stunned for a moment before he throws me his own dazzling smile.
"Anything for you," he says to me, and I blush looking down in embarrassment.
"But you know Lucy," Natsu says with a serious face. "It took a lot of effort to get the tree here and when I get back to the guild, master will most likely scold me. How about you do something for me in return," he suggests with an evil glint in his eyes.
I look up at him confused and the next second he is on top of me, straddling me, arms on both sides of me, with his face close to mine. My breath hitches in surprise and because my back is against the tree, I can't move away. He is so close to me that I can lightly feel his breath caressing my face. I can feel my face heat up.
"How about . . . you give me a kiss," he suggests in a husky voice.
If I was blushing before, it is nothing compared to what my face must look like right now. I can feel my body quivering with some foreign emotion. I push that feeling down to analyze later so that I can think with a clear head now. It is always best to face a dangerous situation with a clear head, and trust me; this is about as dangerous as they come.
"Come on Natsu, surely you are kidding me," I say desperately with little conviction. I truly don't know if he means it, I have never seen him this way before. I mean, he is Natsu! He is as dense as a rock, and as far as I know, has no interest in girls other than in fighting them. Where is all of this coming from?
"But I do," he says in a hypnotic voice, "and I won't let you leave until you give it to me." Wow, who knew Natsu had such a manly side to him?
I stare into his eyes entranced, then he shifts a little and an idea pops into my head. "Just one kiss," I ask.
"Just one," he says smugly, as if I have already given in. He has another thing coming to him.
"Okay, but you have to close your eyes or I will not do it, okay," I beg, feigning nervousness.
He smirks at me and closes his eyes. I roll my eyes; he is so cocky. The stupid dragon doesn't even know what he is getting into.
I take his face into my hands and slowly guild it down to mine. Just as his lips are about to touch mine I move his face quickly to the side and give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
His eyes flash open in surprise and they look down at the innocent expression on my face. I innocently flutter my eyes lids and ask him in my most shy and innocent voice, "That's good, right? That's what you wanted?"
He looks at me in complete shock before his features slowly soften and he gives me a gentle smile. "Of course," he says sighing.
I victoriously laugh inside my head. The fool actually believed my little act. I mean, I know he is dumb, but this! There is no way someone like me, who uses my sex appeal to get strangers and enemies to do what I want, wouldn't know what he really meant. I mean come on! The only real question here is why he would ask for a kiss him on the lips from his best friend.
I must have let a little bit of my victorious feelings show in my expression because Natsu's face morphs into one of suspicion. Before he catches on, I quickly school my features back into an innocent look and give him a huge smile. That suspicions look leaves almost right away. For why would his innocent Lucy trick him?
"Hey Natsu, can you climb up the tree and grab me a couple leaves please," I ask. He looks at me questioningly but does what I asked. When he comes back down, he hands me the leaves and I hug them gently to my chest, careful not to ruin them. They are just as beautiful close up as from far away, kind of like Natsu. I am going to save theses leaves and treasure them.
"Thanks Natsu, I will remember this day forever," I tell him, gazing up at him gently.
He gives me one of his trademarked smiles. "Sure thing, Lucy," he says gently.
We stay there for a little while longer just enjoying the beauty the tree has to offer, before he picks me up and takes me back home. While I lie in bed that night I think, maybe I am lucky, I mean I have Natsu after all.
Awww, the bunny outsmarted the dragon this time. Maybe the dragon should have told her he wanted to kiss her, on the lips. Let's just hope he learned his lesson this time and learns from it. We wouldn't want this to happen again now would we? I am sure the dragon, right at this very moment, is scheming on ways on how to get her to kiss him again. Oh you poor, innocent bunny, you don't even know what he has planned for you.
I hope you enjoyed it!
