Day 2: Starry Date. Short drabble for this one, enjoy!
Natsu couldn't take his eyes off of her. She looked like a goddess, with her blonde hair flying around while she turned and twirled and stepped. It was a rhythm only she knew, because half of the time she didn't even realize she was doing it.
She would just be cooking or cleaning, or even taking a break from writing her novel, and she would just start dancing. Whenever she noticed he was staring though she'd stop and turn red. It made him upset, since he could watch her dance forever.
Right now they were staying in a cabin right on a beach, so they wanted to have a picnic under the stars so she could tell him all of her favourite constellations. So while waiting for him to bring out their blanket and food, Lucy started dancing.
And well, he wanted to watch her. So he hid in the bush.
But then, in a typical Natsu move, his stomach growled, letting him know just how hungry he was. And this also made Lucy stop dancing, much to Natsu's displeasure.
"Natsu? Is that you?" She called, looking around for the source of the noise. Huffing, he made his way out of the bush with the picnic basket, looking at her glare sheepishly. "What were you doing?"
"Well, you never let me watch you dance so, this is a perfect opportunity for me." He sat himself and the basket down on the blanket they had laid out, and started taking their food out. "But then my stomach decided to betray me and ruined the moment."
Lucy rolled her eyes as she sat down across from him and grabbed a sandwich. "I don't know why you insist on watching me dance all the time- I'm not that good." At this Natsu scoffed and started to eat.
"I'm not! Don't do that." Furrowing her eyebrows, Lucy stared him down. She hated it when he stared while she danced; it always made her extremely self conscious- even though he says he loves it. Natsu just grinned at her, biting into his food (but really scarfing it down ungracefully).
They continued to eat and chat, moving away from the topic of dance and onto other things, like how Natsu thought they should have brought fireworks but Lucy shutting it down again because Natsu and fireworks did not mix well.
Then they moved away the basket and laid down after they were done eating, staring up into the night sky as Lucy pointed out all her favourite constellations while Natsu listened, but mostly just started at her while she talked. He knew all the constellations by now anyways. She rolled over and curled up on his chest while he wrapped an arm around her, using his other as a cushion for himself.
Eventually Lucy dozed off, lightly snoring as she cuddled into him. Internally groaning at the fact that he would have to move- because Lucy would not appreciate waking up in the sand- Natsu slowly shifted their position, making sure not to wake up Lucy. Finally getting readjusted, Natsu bent down and carefully picked up the sleeping blonde into his arms, laughing to himself about all the jokes he could make about her if she were awake. He carried her into the bedroom, pulling the covers over her and laying down next to her before finally falling asleep.
He slept with a smile on his face, dreaming of her dancing.
