Lucy POV. I was going to make it Natsu, but it just fit better this way, in my opinion. But don't worry! There'll be more Natsu! Enjoy!

I tossed and turned in my sleep only to wake up to cold sheets. I moaned, figuring Natsu had already gotten out of bed. I sat upright, Natsu.

I placed my head in my hands as I remembered last night's events.

Natsu had said he felt funny and I felt like I knew what he was talking about. And then... then he kissed me. What it was, I wouldn't be able to tell you, but that kiss was the best kiss I had ever experienced. Sure, I was a little bit shocked at first. But disappointed? Not in the least. It hadn't been some dainty little kiss. No. This kiss was full of feeling and passion and I wouldn't expect less from Natsu. His hands running over my body sent shivers through me. What I didn't understand is - why did he stop?

I flung my legs over the side of my bed. I really wished he hadn't stopped. Just thinking about the memory sent my heart pounding. Does he not like me? I thought. Nah why else would he kiss me then?

I continued to ponder the question as I trudged into the kitchen. Hm. No Natsu. So then I make my way to the bathroom and poke my head in there. Once again - no Natsu. I placed my hands on my hips. Where'd that dragon boy go? Then it hit me. He must be at the guild! So I hurriedly put on my clothes, combed my hair, and ran out the door to the guild hall.

Of course, when I got there the place was lively as ever. Mirajane was behind the bar, Makrov sitting on the bar, Elfman was yelling something about real men, and - oh what did her eyes spot? Gajeel and Levy were sitting in a corner chatting away. I chuckled and reminded myself to ask Levy about that later. My eyes wandered around the guild a bit longer until they found Gray sitting by himself. Hm, that's weird. Normally he and Natsu would be going at each other, I thought as I made my way to Gray.

"Hey Gray," I waved as I sat across from him.

He looked up from his drink, "Oh, hey Lucy."

"Have you uh, seen Natsu today?"

"Surprisingly no. I was expecting he'd be coming in with you," he took a sip of his drink. "Why? Wasn't he at your house?"

A slight blush crept up on my face, "W-Well yea, but when I woke up this morning he wasn't there so I just figured he'd be here."

"Oh," he replied. Gee, he sure is cold today. Then I laughed internally at my unintended joke.

"Uh, you okay Gray?"

"Yea. Well-"

"Ah! There you two are!" said a very familiar voice. Erza. "I was looking for you two!" She said as she stopped at the end of our table.

"Y-you were?" Gray asked nervously.

"Yea of course," she looked at him strangely. "Now where's Natsu?"

Gray smirked, "That seems to be the question of the day."

Almost immediately after Gray said that, the guild hall doors opened, "Yo!"

Without even turning, I knew who was approaching. Natsu.

"Oi, Natsu everyone's been looking for ya," Gray said.

"Is that so?" Natsu stopped next to Erza and placed his arm on her shoulder cooly in which Erza immediately moved and Natsu went tumbling to the ground.

I couldn't help myself from giggling and when he stood up we made eye contact. Immediately I looked away, gosh why are you so embarrassed Lucy?!

"Well I've been looking for all of you!" Natsu brushed himself off.

"Oh really? How come?" Erza asked crossing her arms.

"Because," he said coyly. He whipped out a piece of paper. "I got a job for us!"

"All four of us?" Gray asked.

"Of course!"

Erza thought about it, "Well it sure has been a while."

"Hell yeah it has! Our train leaves in an hour! I've already got my stuff packed. Can you guys be ready by then?"

Everyone said of course and left the table. Once Erza and Gray got a head start out the guild hall, I decided to confront Natsu.

"Natsu!" I called out.

"Yeah?" He stopped and turned around. Here goes nothing.

"I, uh, wanted to talk to you," I started.

"Hm? 'Bout what?"

What? Did he honestly not know?

"Oh well y'know..." My face was rapidly heating up.

"You okay Luce?" He was seriously acting like nothing happened! Maybe I should just go along with him for now.

"Yeah, never mind. I'll see you at the train station!" I yelled back as I ran for home.

When we got off the train, night had already fallen across Fiore.

"Uh, Natsu? When are we supposed to meet the customer?" I asked Natsu who was still green from the train ride.

"Ugh," he groaned as he held his stomach. "First thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright then guys, let's find ourselves a place to stay," Erza said with determination as she tugged along all of her luggage. How she managed to bring so much stuff I'll never know.

Once we reached a nearby hotel, Natsu was feeling better and he rushed into the lobby, straight to the check in desk.

The rest of us gave each other a look of confusion. Natsu was never one to take action on something like this. Erza always handled booking rooms.

"Do you have two rooms available, sir?" we heard Natsu inquire as we, too, approached the check in desk.

The man checked his book, "I'm afraid not, young man, you've come at our busiest time," he said and looked up at us. "However, we do have one room with two queen beds. I'm sure that'd fit you and your group perfectly."

"Okay t-thank you sir," Natsu said as he grabbed the key from the man and handed it to Erza. Why was he so nervous? Jeez. I rolled my eyes. His mood however changed dramatically once he saw the room. He and Gray had rushed in to check out the room. I must say though, it was a pretty impressive room. It even had a balcony.

I yawned as I looked at the clock, "It's one in the morning?!"

"Huh?" said an already sleepy Gray. He was lying on the couch. That's odd.

"Why aren't you in the bed Gray?" I asked.

"Well, to be honest I figured you and Natsu would be sleeping in the same bed."

"W-what? What makes you think that?" I nervously glance over at Natsu who's standing outside on the balcony.

"I mean you guys already do I'm sure – you guys are comfortable with it. He's been sleeping in your bed for the past few days hasn't he?"

"Y-yea I guess."

"Plus, we all know Erza will just hog the damn bed to herself," Gray said shifting to his other side, facing away from me.

Before I could answer, Erza came busting out of the bathroom.

"What'd you say about me?!"

"N-nothing!" Gray and I answered quickly.

"Whoa what's going on?" Natsu trampled through the balcony door. I sighed. Always look for a fight.

"We were just about to discuss sleeping arrangements," Erza began.

"Oh," Natsu said. He shifted nervously standing next to me.

Erza sat on a bed, "Obviously, Gray intends to sleep on the couch-"

"For a good reason, too," Gray said over his shoulder. Erza chucked a pillow at him.

"Don't interrupt me!"

"Yes ma'am," Gray said quickly and went back to trying to sleep.

Erza crossed her arms, "Now, as I was saying. Gray's gonna be sleeping on the couch, but you're more than welcome to sleep with me, Lucy-"

"Bad idea," Gray put in. This time Erza chucked her clock.

"What'd I say?! And put your clothes back on, Gray," Erza huffed.

"What?!" Gray looked in shock at his half naked body.

Erza rubbed her temples, "I would highly advise that you don't sleep with me though because I tend to, uh, act out my dreams. So you'd probably be woken up to me beating you senseless."

"Oh, uh, well then uh, I guess I'll sleep with Natsu," I turned to him. "Is that okay? I mean I really don't wanna get my head clobbered."

Natsu rubbed the back of his head and looked down, "Y-yea sure. I don't mind."

So now he's gonna act all bashful?!

"Alright then it's settled," Erza clapped her hands. "Gray, I'm gonna need that pillow back."

"I'm gonna go change," I said as I grabbed my clothes and ran into the bathroom.

Crap, this is gonna be real awkward, I thought as I changed tops. Being in the same bed after what happened last night, I don't know if I can take this torture much longer. Rinsing my face in the sink, I began to calm down a bit. Shit, maybe my pajamas aren't quite appropriate. I glanced at myself in the mirror. Perhaps wearing a mere tank top and shorts wasn't such a good idea. I started getting really nervous again. No. I looked at my now confident reflection. I'm going to wear this. It's not even that big of a deal. Besides it's a queen bed. Much bigger than the one I have at home. So I took a breath, and walked back into the room only to be greeted by darkness.

Dammit, I need to be able to see you dingdongs.

"Erza?" I whispered. No response. There was only one other person close to the lamp.

"Lucy?" whispered Natsu.

"Yea, um, could you turn on the lamp, I can't see."

He grunted as I heard the sheets ruffle and the light turned on.

Natsu squinted at the light, "Hurry up before Erza wakes."

The thought immediately made me bolt to the bed, climb in, and turn off the light.

"Sorry," I said.

"S'okay," he said as he rolled back over.

Well this is awkward. He isn't even facing me.

After a few moments of lying there, and idea popped into my head, "Hey Natsu? You awake?"

"Mhm."

"I'm cold."

"Again?"

"Y-yea."

He didn't answer and for a second I thought he was going to ignore me, but then I felt something pressing against my back. I sucked in a breath when I realized what he was doing. His body was pressed up against me and his arm draped across my waist. I could feel my heartbeat rapidly increasing. "Better?" he asked.

I nodded my head, "Much." Which was all I could manage in the moment. Just having him right there, I felt at ease, but at the same time, desire and excitement were filling my body.

"Natsu?" I whispered, remembering there were others in the room.

"Hm?"

"Why'd you stop last night?"

"Huh?"

"Oh you know damn well what I'm talking about."

"I-I… just…" he paused.

"What?"

"I just don't want to ruin anything. I mean…"

"Natsu, do you like me or not?"

"W-wha-"

"Answer me, Natsu," I needed an answer from this boy.

A moment passed before he gave me his answer, "Yes."

"Then why'd you stop last night?"

"Because… well… I probably like you more than you like me," his voice was shaking. Wow, this must be really hard for him to admit.

"Wrong."

I quickly flipped my body around so I was facing him and I pressed my lips against his. He immediately melted into me, and I noticed that this kiss was different from last night. Last night's was full of passion yes, but nothing compared to this one. This kiss had something else to it. My guess was lust. We wanted eachother so badly. I wanted him so, so badly I couldn't contain it any longer. My guess was he couldn't either. Natsu rolled us so that he was lying over top of me and continued moving his lips against mine. My hands moved up the sides of his arms, feeling every muscle. God, he felt so good.

Natsu's tongue licked my bottom lip which made me gasp, allowing his tongue to enter my mouth. No, this kiss is definitely better. As my hands rubbed his body, he moaned into my mouth, which caused the want pooling in my lower belly, to suddenly increase. How can this man be so sexy just by moaning? Then, I felt something poking my thigh and I laughed to myself. I was glad I had this effect on him. So, when we broke the kiss to get some air, I moved my leg so it was bumping his erection. He bit his lip and quietly said my name. Natsu immediately placed his lips back on mine. I felt his palm grasp my breast which caused me to moan. "Shh," Natsu said. He grinded his member against my leg and we both moaned. I was about to take my shirt off, but then incoherent mumbling snap us back to reality.

Erza shifted in the bed next to us. We both froze immediately.

Dammit, I thought. We can't just do it with them in the room.

Natsu whispered, "I completely forgot they were in here."

"I did too," I smiled. "I guess we just have to stop here…"

Natsu's fist lightly hit the pillow and he rolled off me, "Goddamn it."

I leaned up on one elbow and I saw the tent in his boxers, "Um, you still gotta problem there…" I couldn't help but giggle.

He looked confused at first, but when he looked down to his groin, he moaned. Then he got out of bed.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

Before he went into the bathroom, he looked at me with a smug grin on his face, "I'm gonna go take care of it." Then he winked and shut the door.

I sat there in bed a little bit shocked. This guy had gone from shy, to bold, to downright sexy just within a few minutes. While I was waiting, I started wondering. Does he think about me when he's… the thought settled in and I immediately became both embarrassed and aroused at the same time. I was sure he did. I smiled to myself. Hehe, so I get the guy off huh? I guess that's good to know. Finally, the bathroom door opened and Natsu came back to bed.

"Sorry 'bout that," he chuckled. Natsu slid in right back against with his hand on my waist, just like before.

I smiled and shook my head, "Night dragonboy."

"Night, princess."
