"Natsu?" Happy asked, "Are you okay?"
Happy had pulled him out of the dream, and Natsu sleepily turned his face over to see a very concerned Happy staring at him.
"Yeah," he said, he moved his arm up to rub his eyes. "Why?"
Happy looked at him, concern in his eyes,"You were making noises like you were in pain. Maybe you were having a nightmare." Happy said.
Thats when all the memories of the dream came flooding back into Natsu's head. His face instantly heated up, and Happy noticed it.
"What's wrong?" Happy asked.
"N-nothing." Natsu said, he flashed Happy a smile to calm him down. What was that? he thought. He wasn't sure what he had just dreamt, and for some reason actually felt embarrassed by the whole thing. It had felt so real, and weird. Not bad though, not even close to bad.
He pushed himself up and noticed the room was lit up again. He turned around to look out the window and saw the bright sun was out.
"Was I asleep all night?" Natsu asked.
"Aye, almost a whole 14 hours." Happy said.
"Has Lucy come home?"
"Actually, no." Happy said concerned.
"What!" Natsu yelled as he jumped up from the bed and ran towards the door. He swung it open only to see Lucy standing there, fumbling with her house keys.
"Natsu?" Lucy said.
Natsu couldn't respond however, he had been hit by the same sweet scent he had been engulfed in earlier, only now it was way stronger. He became dizzy and started to sway, until he fell back down to the floor, knocked out completely.
"Natsu!" Happy and Lucy yelled together.
"Happy, what happened?" Lucy asked, she bent over and put her ear to his chest to make sure he was breathing.
"I don't know, he's been weird all night." Happy grabbed Natsu by the shoulders and started to pull him back through the door.
"Is he sick? Or maybe tired?" she asked. She turned around to shut the door and put her stuff down onto the table.
"He was just sleeping though." Happy plopped Natsu down on the floor.
Lucy sat down on her bed and began taking off her shoes. "Maybe he is sick." she said. She got up and reached down to where he was laying on the floor and put the palm of her hand onto his forehead. "He is kind of warm."
"Thats okay," Happy said," I'll just go get Wendy." Happy flew out the window then.
"Wait! At least take Natsu with you!" Lucy yelled, but Happy was long gone.
Lucy sat down next to Natsu on the floor, and moved her palm from his forehead through his hair. Lucy remembered her mom rubbing her hair when she was sick, and how much she liked it.
"Luce?" Natsu groaned. Lucy pulled her hand away, suddenly embarrassed. Natsu opened his eyes to see her sitting right in front of him, and something inside him sparked.
Back at the guild, Happy had flown in and begun looking for Wendy. He found her sitting at a table next to Erza, the two enjoying a piece of cake.
"Wendy!" Happy waved and walked over to her. "I need your help!"
"Sure," she smiled," what is it?"
Happy was suddenly distracted, when he saw Charle talking to Pantherlily across the room. Ignoring Wendy, he flew over there and interrupted their conversation.
"I wonder what he wanted?" Wendy asked.
"Hm?" Erza looked up, confused. She was too interested in her cake to hear the brief conversation.
Natsu pushed himself off the floor suddenly, rubbing the back of his head.
"Natsu? Don't push yourself, you're sick." she said.
"Hah? I'm not sick." he said. He then took in a deep breath and turned to Lucy. He started to crawl even closer to her.
"Natsu, what are you…" Lucy blushed deeply as he got closer. He stopped when he was almost completely on top of her, with his face in her neck. Lucy was frozen, too embarrassed to move or say anything.
"Lucy," Natsu said, "You smell so good." To Lucy's surprise, he leaned down and softly kissed her.
"Natsu," she breathed. Without thinking, he began to slowly kiss up her neck, over her jaw, and onto her cheek.
He stopped when his lips met the corners of hers and pulled away slightly. He rested his forehead upon hers and looked into her eyes. Lucy's face was dark red, but she didn't pull away. He was waiting for her protest, but when she didn't he closed his eyes and came in closer to her face. Their faces were touching, and their lips were only a few millimeters apart. Natsu lingered, unsure of what he was about to do.
Lucy became impatient, slid her hand through his hair, and pushed him towards her. He was surprised, but relaxed into the kiss. His craving became deeper, and he found himself almost impatient. What for? He wasn't quite sure.
She slowly leaned back onto the floor, and he followed on top of her. He moved his lips from her mouth to her throat, and heard her breathing get more rapid. Her hands slid underneath him and fumbled to get his vest off. He felt her doing this and leaned up to do it himself.
He threw the shirt onto the floor and leaned back down to continue kissing Lucy. Lucy noticed him get rougher, and she became less entranced. She came fully back to her senses when she felt Natsu start to pull at her top. He pulled away from her, frustrated with how hard it was to take off her shirt.
"Natsu," Lucy began. He ignored her and started to pull harder on her shirt. "Natsu, stop." He became so frustrated with the shirt he started ripping at it. "Natsu! Stop it!"
Natsu looked up this time, confused. "Huh?" He asked. Lucy slid out from underneath his legs. "What are you-" He asked.
"Natsu we can't do this." she interrupted. She hugged her knees and looked down.
"Why?" He asked.
"Do you even like me Natsu?" she asked. Her face look hurt from the question.
"Of course I do, Luce." He was getting more confused.
"No, thats not what I mean. Why did you kiss me?" She was looking at him now, hopeful.
He grabbed the back of his neck, "I don't know, I just wanted to."
"Natsu, kissing is something lovers do, not friends." She explained.
Now Natsu looked troubled. All he could say was, "Oh." Lucy got up and grabbed his vest off the floor and tossed it to him. She went back to the bed and sat down, rubbing her temples.
"It's fine, Natsu." She said.
"So wait, are we gonna continue?" He asked.
"Juvia's made a terrible mistake!" Juvia cried.
"What happened?" Mira asked from behind the bar.
"Promise Juvia you won't tell anyone?" She whispered.
"Promise." Mira smiled.
"I bought Gray-sama a love potion, that would make his love for Juvia stronger," Mira wasn't surprised, "but Juvia accidently gave it to Natsu!"
Mira blinked, shocked. "So what happened to Natsu?"
"Juvia doesn't know, he ran off to Lucy's house right after, and Juvia hasn't seen him since yesterday."
Mira smiled, "So he's been gone all night?" She started to chuckle.
"Wait, do you know something about this?" Juvia asked.
Mira laughed and started to walk away, "Nothing at all."
Lucy blushed at the question. She looked away, "Well, I guess that depends," she looked back at Natsu, "Do you love me?"
Bwahahaha. I know, i'm evil, I just love to torture you guys.
