Hey! I'm so sorry for the long wait to update, but I've been busy the past week. I promise it won't be as long as a wait next time... hopefully. Also I apologize for any errors, I wanted to get this to you guys soon. Enjoy!
Important: This is from Natsu's POV.
Surprisingly I woke up before Lucy. I think it's because I had trouble sleeping any way. All because of her.
Don't get me wrong, that's not a bad thing. Not even close. It was just that it took everything I had not to take her right then and there. It required a lot of concentration.
Before this week, I would have been fine sleeping in the same bed as Lucy. Until my sexual desires were fully realized a few days ago all thanks to Gajeel…
"Yo Natsu," Gajeel called after the pink haired dragonslayer.
I perked up, "What? You wanna fight?!"
"What?! No! It's time to have guy talk. C'mere."
I grumpily walked from where he was sitting previously to sit across from Gajeel.
"What the hell do you want Gajeel?" I crossed his arms.
"I was wondering if you've been getting any action lately."
I titled his head, "Huh?"
"You know what I mean."
"Well... I have been going on a lot of jobs lately..."
Gajeel rested his head in his hands, "Geez you're not that clueless are you?"
"Well what else could you have been talking about?" I countered.
"Fucking girls. Having sex."
My face reddened at Gajeels words, "Oh. That kind of action..."
"Wait don't tell me! You've never been with anybody before?!"
"Well... No actually. I mean I know what to do! It's just... never come up for me..."
"Whoa. Not even with blondie?"
"Wha... Oh. OH. Lucy?!"
Gajeel put a finger to his lips, "Shh! Do you want everyone to hear?!"
"Oops," I leaned in and lowered my voice. "Why would I?"
"You're kidding me right? She has a hot body. She's intelligent. Plus you guys always go on those jobs together." He sipped his drink. "You're a lucky dude you know."
I thought about it. I looked up to Lucy from where I was sitting. She was laughing at something Levy said. It made me smile. Yea, I knew she was attractive. You'd have to be blind not to see it.
"I bet you guys will finally sleep together in a week or so," Gajeel challenged.
Just the thought of it made me red in the face, "Wh-What? Gajeel! You're so not going to win, I'm not going to lose to a meathead like you."
"What did you just call me ya pyro?!" He lunged at me and we began our usual fight.
I looked at Lucy. She looked pretty just laying there – she didn't have to do a single thing. My heart hurt just looking at her, but at the same time I just wanted to ram her against a wall. Love versus lust. I know the difference, but I also know I feel both for Lucy. Did I just admit…
A moan from Lucy snapped me out of my thoughts. She faced me and continued sleeping. Without thinking, I carefully removed a strand of hair from her face and then quickly drew back my hand. What if she wakes up…
"Natsu?" she moaned and leaned up on an elbow. Part of her strap was hanging off her shoulder.
"Y-yea?" I gulped
"I'm hungry," her stomach growled in agreement with her words. Next, she just flopped back onto the bed and went right back to sleep.
I laughed to myself; she probably didn't even know what she had said. My stomach growled too. So, I got out of bed and went into the kitchen. Hm, should I even try to make something? Nah, I'd just burn down the whole damn place. I thought about it a little longer.
"Ah-ha!" I got dressed and left Lucy's. Hopefully she won't wake while I'm gone.
When I came back Lucy wasn't in her bed.
Crap.
"Lucy!" I called. Then I heard something. She was humming. I listened and followed the source only to make it to the bathroom door. Smiling, I listened to her tune. However, when she began to sing, my heart nearly stopped. It gave me chills it was so beautiful. I never knew she could. So, I stood there with my back against the wall listening for a good while. But then the water stopped and I jumped. Uh oh. What if she catches me?
So I immediately ran into the kitchen to put the food together that I had picked up earlier.
The door to the bathroom opened, "Natsu?"
"Ya! In here!"
Lucy came through the kitchen door way, "Where were you this morn-?"
"Ta-da! I bought us breakfast! You were mumbling in your sleep about being hungry. I was gonna make something, but we all know how that'd turn out," I chuckled.
"Oh! Thanks Natsu!" she looked so happy. She actually looked really eager to eat it, so she started to make her way to the table.
"Uh, Luce?" I stopped her.
"What?"
"Um, well, you're only wearing your towel," I turned away so she wouldn't see my blush.
"Oh. Oh! Right!" she rushed into her bedroom. Seriously, what am I going to do about her? Ugh, this is really hard.
When she came back in we were discussing what to do for today.
"Well, we could do some shopping. I'm in need of a new book," Lucy suggested.
"Sure, whatever you want."
As we walk up the steps to Lucy's house I almost felt kind of sad. I had enjoyed spending the day with her, watching the looks on her face whenever she found something she liked. Thankfully she didn't try any clothes on or else it would have been really hard to contain myself.
Lucy unlocked her door and I followed her in.
"Hey," a couple voices came from Lucy's bedroom.
"Erza?!" Lucy yelled.
"Gray?!" I yelled. We were both equally surprised.
"You weren't at the guild today," Erza said as she sipped a cup of tea.
"So we decided to come and check on you guys," Gray said casually. "Where were you?"
I narrowed my eyes at him, "Shopping."
Lucy stepped in front of me to keep me from lunging at him and starting a fight in the middle of her room, "Who said you guys could come in here?"
Both Erza and Gray looked at her like it was obvious. And like there was nothing she could say that would make them leave.
"What's Natsu doin' here anyway?" Gray asked.
"My place is being fumigated thank you very much," I crossed my arms.
Erza stood up, "Yea, but why'd you have to stay here."
That made me uncomfortable, "Um, well… where else would I stay?"
"Well you could stay with Gra-no never mind," Erza shook her head.
Lucy sighed, "Ugh, I guess I'll go make some snacks."
We all sat around Lucy's table while she made the snacks.
"What did you guys do today?" Lucy asked Erza and Gray.
"Well," Erza started.
"We were gonna go on a job, but you guys weren't there," Gray finished as he glared at me.
"Why ya glarin' at me for?!"
He just rolled his eyes.
Lucy sat down next to Erza, "Was there something you had in mind, Gray?"
"No, I just wanted to get a little extra cash that's all," he said as he slightly blushed.
I laughed, "Hmm? What's the cash for, Gray? Perhaps a lil' date with a certain water woman?"
"Wh-what?! No!"
Everyone laughed at how bad of a liar he was.
"Oh c'mon Gray, you should be honest about your feelings in front of others," Lucy teased.
"Yeah, looks who's talking," he mumbled.
"Huh?" I asked.
Lucy stood up abruptly and said, "Here I'll take your plates."
She made her way over to the sink. I got up to help her because I felt bad that she had already made the delicious snacks all by herself. As I helped her with the dishes, my ears perked up to what was being said back at the table.
"They're adorable together, actually," I heard Erza point out.
"Yea, pretty perfect. They kinda fit each other. In a weird way," Gray agreed.
That made me stop what I was doing and freeze. Does everyone see us that way? I wondered. Do we really look like that? My heart rate picked up the more I thought about. Images of Lucy and I as a couple flooded my head. Lucy placed her hand on my shoulder and I shook my head.
"You okay Natsu?" she asked.
"Y-yea. I'm fine. Just had a thought," I said as I went back to the dishes.
When Gray and Erza left for the night it felt pretty awkward. I sure as hell didn't know what to say to Lucy. My mind was still shattered from what Erza and Gray had said.
Lucy yawned, "Ugh, I'm tired. I think I'm gonna hit the hay." She turned around and made way to her bed.
"Aren't you gonna put on your pajamas?" I asked.
"Oh, right."
"I'm gonna shower, so I guess you can change out here," I made my way to the bathroom door.
She nodded her head and I shut the door behind me. When I got into the shower, I started thinking about Lucy and me again. Could we really end up like that? A couple?! More importantly does she even see me that way? I don't really think so. Besides we're best friends, right? She wouldn't even go for a guy like me anyway. I'm too rash, destructive. I'm sure she'd want a princely type boyfriend. I chuckled. The complete opposite of me.
But I didn't want to stop thinking about the possibilities. I began thinking of all the steps in a relationship. Lucy and I as a couple, then… just the thought of us married and having kids was scary, but to be honest I can't imagine any other person I'd want to experience that with. I can't imagine myself, my future, with any other woman. Now I just need to figure out how to get there without scaring her. I turned off the shower and laughed. Hmph, the princess and the dragon. Good one, Natsu. I got out of the shower and simply put my boxers on.
When I opened the door, Lucy was still up.
I made my way over to her, "I thought you were tired, Luce."
"Yea," she replied. "But the sheets are cold."
I looked at her questioningly.
"I-I need you to warm them up."
"Oh," so with that I crawled in next to her.
A few moments passed. She was facing away from me so I couldn't tell if she had drifted to sleep, "Um, Lucy?"
"Yea?"
My heart pounded in my chest and my stomach clenched.
"Yea what is it?"
Oh just tell her! I thought as those images ran through my head again.
"I feel weird," I finally said. I scooted closer to her. What?! That's not what I was planning on saying!
"Hm?"
"I-I just… feel funny."
A few seconds passed and they felt like hours.
"I do too," she responded as she finally turned to face me. She stared at me with those big brown eyes and it made both my heart and groin jolt.
Without thinking, I placed her on her back so I was over top of her and placed my lips onto hers. Shes tastes so good. So warm. Goddamn, I can't resist anymore.
After a second, her mouth began to move against mine. I was now hovering over top of her as she wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me deeper into the kiss. I could barely think at a moment like this, except now I was getting a sudden, lustful urge. I need to stop. I told myself. But she's too tasty.
Then I felt her tongue brush against my lip and the sensation made me gasp. So I repeated the same action to her as she let my tongue enter her mouth. My hands moved up and down her sides as her hands tangled through my damp hair. Jeez, this is incredible. She's incredible. But then my thoughts from my shower earlier echoed in my head. "Besides we're best friends, right? She wouldn't even go for a guy like me anyway." I pulled away from our kiss and stared down at Lucy. She stared back. What am I doing?!
I got off of her and laid on my side facing away from her. Natsu! You basically just ruined everthing you guys had built over the past few months. I silentely cursed myself.
"Natsu?" Lucy whispered.
"G'night Luce. You're tired."
"But-"
"Goodnight."
And with that not another word was said as we drifted off to sleep.
Aw poor Natsu.
If you have any suggestions then let me know! I wanna know what you guys wanna read! :) Tell me if you want more Natsu POVs or just Lucy from now on.
Also thanks to all of those who reviewed! Thanks, they make me smile! :D
