Lucy POV.

As the bath water began to fill the tub it started to steam up causing the mirror to fog up.

The air became thick so I opened the bathroom door just a crack to let the room's hot air out. I quickly undressed and stepped into the water instantly feeling better.

I let the water get really hot and high enough that if I lowered myself down into the water more I wouldn't have to go as far before it got to my chin.

I grabbed my strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner and scrubbed my hair to rid my scalp of the sweat from running around today. I let the conditioner set while I stood to wash my body with vanilla scented body and face wash.

My bath poof felt nice on my back and neck. It felt like a nice gentle massage as my tense muscles relaxed with every stroke.

Soon I was done rinsing the conditioner out. I thought about soaking in the tub a little longer, but the water was becoming slightly cold.

I drained the water and dried off wrapping my towel around my body and walking out and into my bedroom to get my pj's and hair ties.

Only when I stepped into my room there was someone asleep on my bed. I quickly went to my closet and shut the door behind me. 'I'm so happy I have a walk in closet. Not just for clothes, but for when I'm in desperate need to cover myself.' I thought with a sigh as I realized that I grabbed one of the slightly smaller towels by accident. it was barely staying together because of my bust.

Realizing I was getting off topic I quickly dressed so that I could get a better look at the person in my bed without flashing them in the process.

Grabbing the bat I keep in my closet I carefully slid open my closet door. I took careful, and quiet steps over to my bed and intruder.

The covers were pulled up over the person's head so I couldn't see them.

Talking a breath to calm my racing heart I pulled the covers back until they were at the person's shoulder.

It was only then that I realized that it was Natsu.. Again.

Resisting the urge to bash his head in with the bat for sleeping in my bed and entering my house without permission, again, I put the bat back in my closet with an irritated sigh.

Walking back to the snoring dragonslayer I tried to wake him.

"Natsu... Hey Natsu..." After gently poking his arm gave no effect I decided to be less gentle about it.

"Natsu! Get out of my bed!" I yelled. Still no reply.' He's a really deep sleeper' I thought as I looked around the room for something to wake him.

Coming up with nothing I looked back at the sleeping figure in my bed. I sighed and pushed him to the far side of my bed. He still stayed asleep.

I went to get a body pillow from my closet. Then I place it next to Natsu so that I could lay down and sleep better knowing that he can't touch me with that in his way.

'Well this is going to be the only exception since I'm really tired. Plus I don't feel like pulling him out of my bed. He's actually pretty heavy. Probably from his muscles because he's no where near being fat.' I thought as I layed down and pulled the covers up to my chin after turning the lights off.

Natsu POV.

I ended up coming back to Lucy's after seeing that the guild closed for the night. Although when I went to get threw her window again I forgot she locked it. I fell back down to the street trying to find a different way into the house. Then it hit me." Hey Happy? Do you have anything that I can use to pick a lock?" I asked walking to the front door.

"Yeah. Hang on. Let me find it." After about 30 seconds later Happy held out a tool specifically used to pick locks. I was slightly worried as to why Happy had one of these, but also relieve that I wouldn't need to use a hair pin or something like that.

I immediately went to work getting the door unlocked since it was getting colder outside, and Happy started to shiver.

After concentrating hard enough I finally got in. I closed and locked the door behind me so that Luce wouldn't know I picked the lock. Thinking about what she might do to me if she found out what I did gave me the chills.

'Even though I just met her she can be scary. ' I thought walking to her room to see if she was asleep.

Before I got to her room I passed the bathroom and Lucy's scent was the strongest there so I figured that she was taking a bath.

For some reason I started walking closer to the door stopping right in front of it. I took in a deep breath through my nose letting her scent fill my lungs for a good moment before silently exhaling. I felt my head start to spin and butterflies in my stomach when her scent seemed to surround me.

Not thinking I looked threw the crack in the door. When I looked in I saw her reflection in the mirror above the sink. She was in the tub with the water up to her chin. She was down low enough, and the steam was thick enough, that all I could see was her head and her legs as they stuck out of the water by the knees. I looked back to her face. Her eyes were closed as she relaxed and her lips were curved into a small smile from pleasure. Her cheeks were a light shade of pink from the heat in the room. I felt my knees go weak as I caught a strong whiff of her scent again. Then I felt a little turned on.

Finally realizing what I was doing I pulled back abruptly. I walked away quickly, yet quietly to her room. Once there I slapped myself to get the image out of my head along with all the tempting thoughts I had in that moment.' Thank god Happy kept going to Lucy's room. He would never let me live that down.'

I was able to get the thoughts out but not the picture of her in the tub. "Stupid! What were you thinking? She could have seen you! Idiot." I whispered to myself as I lied down on the bed next an already asleep Happy who was curled up on a fluffy pillow leaning against the wall next to her bed.

Feeling the need to sleep I took off my vest and played it on the floor at the lot of the Ned. I then proceeded to take off my sandals along with my muffler being careful to fold it nicely and set it gentle on top of my vest.

I climbed into the bed with Happy pulling the covers over my head.

It wasn't to long after I fell asleep that I woke up to the sound of someone walking in the room.

At first I thought I was at my house and someone broke in, but was quickly reminded that I was in Lucy's bed due to her scent covering it entirely.

I also figured that if she new I was awake she would kick me out. So I shut my eyes, evened out my breathing, and pretended to be asleep.

I stayed silent and listen to what was going on in the room since I couldn't move to see.

It sounded like running and a door closing. I waited about another 10 minutes until I heard the same door open again. I couldn't hear any footsteps so I stayed perfectly still and made sure my eyes were closed just in case.

As I expected, the covers were taken away from my head. I heard Lucy sigh in relief and irritation and put something hard back in the closet. I inwardly shivered.' What did she plan to do!?' I thought as I kept up my act hoping it wouldn't break. She tried to 'wake me up' but I pretended to be a heavy sleeper and didn't 'wake up', just snored.

She sighed again pushing me up against the wall and walked over to somewhere in the room. The next thing I new was that something soft and fluffy hit my side and was long enough to be touching my shoulder and feet at the same time. I thought it was Lucy so I stiffened a little. But then I heard the covers ruffle and the bed sloped in on the other side indicating someone lying down.' Oh. Now Lucy got into bed. But what's touching me?' I thought opening one eye to see what was happening.

I looked over and watched as Lucy turned the lights off and pulled the covers to her chin. I think she fell asleep almost instantly because her breathing evened out and she didn't move.

Remembering that something was touching me other than her I looked down. There was a big fluffy body pillow in between us.' She probably put that there for safety. Not that I blame her. We did just meet yesterday.' I thought as I closed my eyes to actually sleep this time.

Lucy POV

I woke up the next morning as the sunlight hit my face from the window. I thought that if I turned over that I would be able to sleep a little longer, but for some reason I couldn't move. I tried to move again thinking it was because of the blankets but then something tightened around my waist and shoulders groaning sleepily.

I stopped and slowly opened my eyes.

There I was face to face with a tanned muscular collar bone. I then looked down a little to see well built tight and tanned abbs moving as this person breathed.

Before freaking out I tried to remember what happened that night. Then I remember that Natsu had stayed over and slept in my bed. And that I put a pillow between us so I could sleep too since he was already out.

I sighed in relief knowing nothing happened. I looked down again studying his well built upper body. I ogled at the sight.' I had no idea he was so hot.' I thought as I caught myself before drooling.

He started mumbling incoherent words, so I followed his frame up but stopping on a scar on his neck. At first I wanted to reach out on touch it but refrained from doing so since it might wake him up.

I looked the rest of the way up to his face.

I have to admit, now that I get a better look at him he was pretty handsome. He had a firm jawline, and his facial expression was calm which I had never really seen on him until now. I liked it. He started to mumble again. This time I listened closer. "Mnmsb...Lucy...don't...leave..njjsmm.." I blushed at what he said and I felt butterflies work their way threw my stomach.

It was only then that I realized our position. There I was, in his arms practically laying on top of him since I somehow managed to move onto and over the body pillow I put down. I immediately blushed ten shades of crimson. I looked around hoping that no one else saw this.

Noting that only Happy was in the room besides Natsu and me I tried to move out of his grip. Bad mistake.

Natsu started mumbling again as his grip tightened around me again." Noo.. Don't go..." I blushed again feeling my knees go weak at the way his voice sounded husky in my ear. I decided that if I stayed in thins position I would either die of embarrassment or he would wake up and think I'm a perv.

I tried to think of someway I could get out of his strong arms.'Hmmm... I wonder if what Erza taught me might work.' I thought bringing my hands up to my shoulders. Although as they moved up they slid over each of his abbs and his well built chest in the process. I blushed and had to keep myself from drooling again.

'OK Lucy. You can do this. Just gently slide down and lean out.' I thought as I began to shuffle my body down. Although I wasn't expecting Natsu to suddenly roll. And I definitely was not expecting to go with him.

I was now pushed against the wall with my lower half crossed over his lower half.' Damn. Just when I thought I'd be able to get up too.' I thought as I stared at him. I didn't dare to move since Happy was 2 feet from my head and Natsu was still holding me. Plus the leg situation.

I tried to figure out how to wake him up without making it look like my fault...' That's it! Its not my fault! If he wasn't holding me I wouldn't be in this position with him! This is great now he won't think I'm a weird pervert!' I thought smiling." Now just to wake him up." I whispered to myself.

I decided to be gentle instead of every other time I found an unwanted friend in my bed.

I poked his arm a few times and said his name. He didn't respond. Then I moved to poking his face to see if annoying him would wake him up. Still nothing. All I got was a grumble. I huffed and looked back at his face.

His hair was in his eyes so I pushed it back out of the way. That was another mistake. He started to stir so I quickly pulled my hand back and waited.

He slowly opened his eyes with a sigh. I think her tried to stretch because his whole body moved like he was. A look of confusion crossed his face before he looked over at me.

My breath hitched in my throat as we made eye contact. I felt my cheeks heat up a little and I felt a little light headed as his onyx eyes stared straight into my brown ones.

Then he pulled a cheeky grin at me.

" Mornin Luce!" He said.

I couldn't help but blush a little since he wasn't bothered by the position we were in.

"Morning...uh.. Could you uh.. Let go of me please?" I asked shyly since I didn't trust my confident voice right this second.

"What?" He looked genuinely confused before I gestured to our position . he looked down and I think he blushed a little. I couldn't quite tell since my pink comforter was reflecting pink light onto our faces.

"Oh... Sorry 'bout that." He said flipping me back over to my original side. I couldn't help the 'eep' that escaped my mouth when he did that. He let me go and I immediately missed the warmth of his arms as they held me.' What stop it Lucy. You can't have feeling for a guy you just met.' I scolded myself. I stood up and turned around." I'm going to go make breakfast do you want anything in particular?" I asked wringing my hands nervously.

"Nope. I don't care what you fix. Whatever you want. I'm up for anything" he sad with a face splitting grin. I blushed again and turned to leave. He was getting out of my bed and I watched as his muscles flexed as he sat up and stood up.

As I walk out of the room I had to calm myself down to make sure I stopped blushing.

'I hope he didn't notice me checking I'm out. But when he has a body like that it's hard not to. Just couldn't resist at least a glance' I thought as I entered the kitchen to make breakfast.

Hey guy thanks for reading!
