Alright guys! Chapter 2! I would have had it up yesterday, but things got in the way. I know people don't like to wait too long for updating - because I know I don't! It'll get steamier I promise! I just gotta build up for the main event, hehe. Enjoy!

Chapter 2

Light was coming in from my window and shining brightly on my face. I moaned and silently cursed the sun for waking me up. I turned my head the other way to avoid the sunlight. I laid there for a few minutes still not able to go back to sleep. My face itched. As I brought my hand up from the side of my body, my hand brushed an elbow.

My eyes shot open.

I had momentarily forgotten.

Natsu. His face was inches away from mine. Snoring the day away.

I jumped up and I instantly regretted it. What if I woke him up?
Pf, nah he sleeps like a rock.

Just in case, I decided to be really quiet while getting out of bed.

But then I realized that I was trapped. I was on the side next to window and wall while he was on the outside. I silently cursed myself for not thinking that one through.

I carefully lifted one leg over Natsu's body and made sure not to touch him. After I placed my toe on the side of the wooden bed frame I shifted my weight to it. Now my whole body was hovering over him.

My toe slipped.

I landed on Natsu. More specifically Natsu's stomach.

I sat there mortified with my legs straddling his body. I waited for him to jerk awake.

But all he did was mumble incoherently in his sleep.

Seriously?! I thought. What's wrong with this guy? You could set of a bomb and he wouldn't wake!

I swiftly flung myself off of him and landed on the floor softly. Still, I waited for him to wake up. Yet nothing.

I sighed of relief.

I moved to the kitchen and opened the pantry to decide on breakfast. Natsu was sure to wake up hungry as a horse. I decided to go with the traditional pancakes, bacon and eggs.

Not 5 minutes into the cooking, Natsu comes trudging in the kitchen sniffing the air. "Do I smell bacon?"

I laughed, "Yes Natsu. And eggs. And pancakes."

I looked up at him and he suddenly didnt seem so tired anymore thanks to the smell of food.

He leaned against the door frame, arms crossed. "You're the best Luce."

Dammit there he goes again with that grin. I also noticed he did not in fact have a shirt on.

I became flustered and almost dropped the pancake batter on the floor.

"Whoa there Lucy, you okay?" he asked.

"Um y-yea. Completely."

"You're so weird," Natsu said as he walked by. He patted my head and made his way to the fridge where he pulled out the jug of milk.

What the hell? You've seen him shirtless plenty of times Lucy! Get a hold of yourself!

Desperate to try and distract myself, I looked around the room. It hit me.

"Oi, Natsu," I said as I flipped a pancake.

He was in the midst of chugging down a glass of milk. "Hm?" he replied as he sat down.

"Where's Happy?"

"Oh," he paused for a moment to think. "I'm pretty sure he said that he was going to stay elsewhere. He didn't want to wake up to your yelling."

"Wow. Such a nice cat," I mumbled.

The bacon sizzled on the pan.

We sat in silence as I finished up the breakfast. Gourmet pancakes just like my mom had taught me.

I brought the food over to the table and Natsu immediately started digging into the pancakes.

"Man Luce," he said in between bites. "You make the best pancakes I've ever eaten."

I laughed and said thanks. Surprisingly I found myself extremely hungry. Probably as hungry as Natsu. So I too started digging into the pancakes and bacon.

Once we were finished we both leaned back in our chairs.

"That was good," I sighed.

"Hell yea it was," Natsu breathed.

"So what so you wanna do today?"

"I dunno. We could check out the guild."

"Sounds good to me. Rent's coming up soon."

Natsu laughed, "Always about that rent."

"Hey. If I didn't have this place, you wouldn't have my bed," I defended myself as I sat up.

He just grunted. It looked as though he'd go straight back to sleep. I jumped up. "C'mon lets go!"

We changed and and made our way to the guild.

On our way, I saw a few couples walking down the street. It made me think. The image of Natsu and I holding hands walking down the street floated into my head. Could we ever be like that? I wondered. Natsu was a little bit ahead of me so I looked up at him. I smiled, nah I'm sure he has his eyes set on some other girl.

Finally we made it to the guild where Mira was eyeballing me. I almost felt like she knew Natsu's plan to stay with me for the week. I ignored her stare.

She wasn't getting anything outta me and she was not going to win that bet.

Natsu and I walked in the door of my apartment after taking on a job.

"Well! That was fun!" Natsu said happily as he stretched out on my bed.

I flopped down next to him, "Easy for you to say. You got to do what you do best! Destroy stuff! I was stuck having to watch after that kid. All he wanted to do was run around outside. And it was hot today! Who knew we'd be stuck watching a kid as a job."

Natsu turned his head to face mine, "Yea but you're good with kids. They like you."

"Really?"

"Of course. You're probably going to be a great mom one day. They'll love your cooking, too."

I chuckled, closed my eyes, and laid there for a moment. But something interrupted the silence. Natsu's stomach.

"Sounds like someone's hungry. As always."
"Mind if I raid your pantry?" He grinned.

My eyes shot back open, "W-what did you just say?"

He looked at me funny, "Mind if I raid your pantry? Jeez we speak the same language don't we?"

I felt so relieved. I thought he had said "panties" instead of "pantry." Goddamn I need to get a grip.

"Yea sure, why not. I'm gonna take a shower." I said as I got up from the bed.

"Oh. Uh. Okay," he mumbled a he made his way to the kitchen.

I took my time in the shower as I thought over today's events. Natsu looked so cute with that little kid. Even though that kid was a complete ass, Natsu knew how to handle him. I smiled to myself as I turned off the water. When I stepped out, I realized that I hadn't gotten a towel. Dammit, I cursed to myself. Normally I'd have Plu out so he could get me one just in case I forgot. But with Natsu around lately, my mind gets fuzzy. Natsu was the only one available. I dreaded what I was about to do, but at the same time… I-I didn't. Do I want him to see me practically naked? I mean I guess I'll have to use the shower curtain as coverage.

I sucked in a breath, "Natsuuuu!"

He came in almost immediately looking frantically around, "What?! What?! What's wrong!"

"Um…"

Natsu looked over my way and gulped as his face turned a bright red. I saw his eyes quickly glance down before looking at the ground in front of him. He couldn't see anything. My shower curtain was cloudy so you could definitely see the outline of my body. Normally, I'd punch him for looking, but this time was different. I kinda wanted him to.

"Uh, I forgot to get a towel… so uh, could you get me one?" I mumbled not making eye contact.

"S-sure," he left the room for a moment.

Natsu returned with a towel in hand and held it at arms distance with his head facing the other way.

As soon as I grabbed the towel he made a beeline for the door and shut it.

I dried myself off and wrapped my towel around me. After I finished combing my hair, I noticed that I hadn't brought any clothes into the bathroom. I wanted to scream at myself. Now I have to go out there wearing nothing, but a towel?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!

I thought of something. I smirked. Actually… he does always walk around the house shirtless. That's not fair to me. Perhaps it's payback time.

I opened the door and found Natsu lying on the floor watching the movie lacrima. He hadn't noticed that I was wearing only my towel yet.

"Hey Luce, this movie is really great. You wanna-?" he stopped when he turned his head and saw me. "Uh, whatcha doin there, Luce?"

I held my head up high and walked proudly towards my dresser, "I forgot to get some clothes."

I felt my chest move as I walked and I was fully aware that my towel reached just past my butt. I was going to give him a good show.

Taking my time at my dresser, I could feel his eyes on my body. Once, I had bent over slightly trying to get something out of a lower dresser. I was running on adrenaline and feeling extra bold. So I quickly grabbed some underwear and a bra. He was getting uneasy; I could feel it in the air. Finally, I made my way back to the bathroom and put on my pajamas. When I came back out the lights were off and Natsu was in bed. Well, at least the sheets will be warm now.

I climbed into bed. Thankfully, he was in the spot I was last night so perhaps I won't have to repeat the same actions as this morning.

"Goodnight Natsu," I whispered close to his neck. I saw goosebumps rise on his skin and I almost started laughing.

He cleared his throat. "G-Goodnight Luce."

I laid there for a while, but I couldn't sleep. I felt Natsu shift to his otherside so he was facing me, but I didn't dare open my eyes.

After a moment, he kissed my forehead and I could have sworn he had whispered, "Sweet dreams."

But I wasn't sure because right after, I relaxed and went right to sleep.

To be continued...

Sooooo yea. If there's anything you guys wanna see just lemme know and I'll try to make it happen! :)
