While Lucy was writing her novel, I was pretending to sleep. I kept one eye open to keep an eye one her. I was guessing she thought I was asleep because she started to cry.
'Why is Lucy crying?' I thought, wanting to go and comfort her. I really didn't like seeing my nakama cry, especially Lucy. 'Should I just go and comfort her?' I asked myself, about to get out of the bed, but stopped when Lucy started to whisper something. Of course with my sharp ears I picked it up quite well even with our distance apart.
"Mother, tonight was one of the best nights of my life. I never thought it was possible for this to happen." I heard Lucy saying. She was talking to her mother, but she's, I can't say it.
'Does this mean she isn't writing her novel? Wait, if it's something related to her mother, of course she was crying!' I thought. I didn't want to disturb her when she was doing something like this, whatever she was doing, but I can't leave her like this.' I thought as I got out of the bed silently. I walked over to the crying blonde. I wanted so badly to just comfort her and run up to her and tell her it's going to be alright. But I couldn't do that; it wouldn't comfort her at all. It would just upset her even more.
"Lucy, don't cry. No matter how painful this is, don't cry about it." I whispered loud enough for Lucy to hear every word I said.
"Eh Natsu, w-what are y-you, w-when did you awaken?" she stuttered her way through the sentence.
"I know that it's about your mother. I know what it's like to remember someone you can no longer see anymore." I told her, putting a hand on her shoulder, the topic brought up thoughts about Igneel.
"Natsu, don't look at me. I like people to look at me when I cry." She whispered, sniffling. I smiled kneeled down to her level on the chair.
"Lucy, I'll look at you if I feel like it. Now, I don't like it when you cry." I told her, bringing my hand to her cheek and wiped a tear off. "I want you be happy, not sad."
"Natsu…" she cried jumping into me. I was surprised by her sudden actions, but then smiled and pulled her into a tight hug.
"Hey, maybe you should get some rest, I know I need some. But somehow I just can't get sleep unless you're there with me." I smiled and tried comforting her.
"F-fine, just d-don't tell anyone about this!" she shouted and cried into my chest. I just realized I didn't have a shirt on.
"U-um yeah, you got that. Now, let's go to bed!" I said trying to hide my embarrassment.
"Natsu," she started as a lifted her up to carry her to bed. "You don't have to be embarrassed. We're nakama, right?"
My eyes widened, she knew I was embarrassed.
'Geez, how observational can she be? I just used a big word, go me!' I smiled at my use of language.
~o~
He carried me to the bed and set me down. I closed my eyes and turned away from him so he couldn't see my smile.
'Maybe he really isn't as dense as we all thought. Or maybe Gildarts and Cana blab too much about their sexual life.' I tried to keep from laughing at thinking of that. But then I started to remember why Natsu came to get me. 'Oh mother, I'll finish your letter soon. But I really am happy now. I have Natsu, and he's never going to leave me. I can tell. He had said so himself. He was never going to leave me.'
With that comforting thought, I was about to drift into sleep. I was about to start dreaming of meeting my mother once again and telling her everything that has happened since I had joined Fairy Tail. But then I felt my body heat up about one-hundred degrees and the weight of a dragon slayer on me.
"Natsu, what are you doing?" I asked turning around to see a salmon haired somebody on top of me. My eyes widened as he smiled and moved closer."Nat-su, wh-what are you doing?" I asked anxiously as he just moved closer for a reply.
"I'm just starting where we left off." He smiled and went down lower to my body with his. I squirmed from the excitement and uneasiness inside of me.
"Don't tell me you're scared Luce. I'll stop if you want me to." He said drawing further away than closer.
"You're an idiot, you know that right?" I told wrapping my arms around him. "It's just, I've never kissed someone before." I blushed at the last statement.
"It's not like I've ever kissed someone either." He told me and wiped some hair from covering my eyes. I pulled him closer so I could get what I had been wanting for months. He obeyed my actions and went lower to meet my awaiting lips.
Then, just if it was a cue of Zeref, someone barged into our room, ruining our heated moment just like thirty minutes before. She had white hair, but shorter than Mira's, so it could only be…
"Natsu!?" Lisanna cried out, putting her light hands over her surprised mouth.
"Lisanna?" Natsu said pulling away from me, making me very disappointed.
'Why, why does someone always ruin out moment!?' I cried out in my lonely mind. I took away hands from Natsu and turned away from the white haired girl and silently cried into my hands.
"They llliiiiiiike each other!" a missing blue exceed laughed rolling his tongue.
"Shut up Happy!" I whispered so that only Natsu could hear. He looked at me still surprised, but then averted his gaze from me to Lisanna.
~o~
Happy had led me to Natsu's room where he had stayed. Happy had also said he was sick, so I rushed there quickly, only to find someone in there with him, kissing him. Him, my Natsu, someone was with him. Before me. It was Lucy.
"Natsu!?" I cried putting my hands over my trembling mouth.
'What, how could he ever take any interest in her? He shouldn't be kissing her! He should be kissing me.' My poor scarred mind cried out. 'Wait, were they even kissing yet? Maybe I got here just in time to stop it! Oh, now I feel terrible, Lucy is supposed to be my friend.'
I thought about all of this, not noticing anything until Happy came in to see what I had seen.
"They llliiiiiiike each other!" the absent blue exceed laughed. Lucy had said something that I couldn't catch, and Natsu looked at her. I saw pain in his eyes; it made me mad that he had shown such affection for someone other than me. He looked back at me.
"U-um, can you go, Lisanna, Happy?" he stammered he beckoned us to go. I nodded and ran out the room as fast as I could. I had time to take in the room too, it was a honeymoon suite. A honeymoon suite!
Then I realized something else, Mira ordered the rooms. Mira had paired them up together. Mira had betrayed me. She went to Lucy's side for this one.
'How could Mira, of all people; Mira, betray me?' I thought slumping against a wall as soon as I ran as far from their room as my legs could bear. 'She deceived me, a betrayal.'
~o~
'Why was Lisanna crying? Why is Lucy crying?' I thought looking back down at Lucy after Lisanna and Happy had left.
"Lucy, why are you crying?" I asked her, forcing her to face me.
"It always gets ruined." She pouted as rubbed her eyes with her hands.
"Lucy, we can finish it, how about now?" I asked nuzzled into her neck which earned a soft moan from Lucy. "What do you like that?" I asked lifting my head from her neck.
"Yes." She whimpered in response.
"Okay my Luce." I smiled and nuzzled into her neck again. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me closer to her. She slid her hands under the covers and hugged my chest. Her touch made my skin tingle a little bit.
'I feel bad somehow because Lisanna looked upset, but right now, Lucy needs me.' I thought as wrapped her legs around me. 'And I need Lucy as much as she needs me.'
~o~
Okay my Luce. The words rang inside my head for the longest time as Natsu and I indulged in our activities.
"Natsu, I need to ask you something, who do want more; Lisanna or me?" I asked him. I was scared of the answer. I didn't want to know yet I did to be honest.
"You duh, Lisanna and I are childhood friends. You and me, we're more, right?" he smiled while he replied.
"If you think so…" I trailed off blushing. I averted my gaze from the intense stare Natsu was giving me.
"Now, where were we?" he asked with a playful smirk on his face.
"Right about where everyone interrupts us, and that's never any good." I said playfully and pulled closer so that our noses were touching.
"I see, should we continue?" he asked tilting his head slightly and went in for my virgin lips.
'My first kiss, with my first love, this is really going to be the best, isn't it?' I thought as our lips finally met for the first time. 'I did it, I got him first.' I thought triumphantly.
The kiss was heated and the best at romantic that Natsu and I could get. His tongue begged for an entrance to my mouth as we fervently kissed each other. I decided to tease him a bit longer which made him whine in anticipation. When I finally allowed him in, he wrestled my tongue without hesitation. I tried to keep from laughing at his eagerness, but it got the better of me; I laughed.
Natsu backed away panting, as I was too as I laughed.
"W-what's so funny Luce?" Natsu asked confused. I kept laughing but tried to restrain it with fail.
"H-ha, it was just so funny how eager you were to do that." I laughed throwing my head back.
"It's just we got interrupted two times, I didn't want it to happen a third." He said sheepishly.
"Heh, well I didn't want that to happen a third time either! And, I liked it Natsu, what about you?" I asked him poking my fingers against each other while awaiting his answer.
"Of course I liked it Lucy, so." He said awkwardly as he held the "so".
"So," I said continuing the "so". "Where does this leave us?" I asked while having a deep blush on my face that threatened to burn my skin right off.
"Well, you said there were like, boyfriends and girlfriends. Like the next biggest step next to being best friends." He told me.
"I think that's um, well I like it. Do you want that?" I asked him once again averting my eyes from him the heated conversation.
"You can look at me Luce, if we're gonna be like that, then you shouldn't be afraid to look at me." He told me assertively as he wrapped his arms around my waist and came in closer to me. "Oh, and yes, I want to be like that with you."
"Okay, I guess we are like that then." I blushed and hugged him tightly. He returned my embrace and smiled to himself.
"Luce, will we always be like this?" he asked me which acquired my attention.
"Well Natsu, that depends. It's really about how strong of a bond the two partners have. If it's weak, then they are most likely to split up, have various fights about nothing, and or cheat on each other with other people. If it's okay they have a better chance, not much though. They would still be prone to cheat and have fights. If it's strong, then they are pretty much inseparable. They don't usually have fights, but the variables of what kind of people are in the relationship also affect the fighting. And well, they were most likely friends before their relationship started. So it really just depends on the bond." I replied to him. Of course it was a lot to register so I didn't press him on answering.
"I think we have the strongest bond, Lucy. We were friends before this happened. And we are pretty inseparable. But, doesn't their feelings towards one another affect it too?" he asked me.
"Yes, but I left it out since it was a lot to take in." I told him, stunned from his last words.
'He thinks we have the strongest bond. It shouldn't surprise me, it really shouldn't. Yet it does. It stuns me. We really have been inseparable these passed years in Fairy Tail. It's hard to think I've been with Team Natsu for so long.' I thought, not realizing that Natsu had drifted off to sleep.
"Good night, my flame head of a Natsu." I whispered as I played with his soft hair. My muscles relaxed and I started to think.
'I wonder what Lisanna is doing, where did she go? Maybe to, oh no, she totally went to MIRA! She told Mira and then she's going to spread it all over the guild, Magnolia, even Fiore! Well, I guess I really wouldn't mind any of that I guess. This whole thing is just making me confused." I thought sighing. 'But you know, how Natsu has been acting, it's just like he's really not at all dense! Or at least as dense as we all think…'
While I was thinking about all of this Natsu shifted in his sleep which made me focus my attention on him.
'Hm, I wonder what he's dreaming about.' I thought as he gripped me tighter, almost suffocating me with his heat and not to mention his grasp.
"Luce, I won't do magic this time." He mumbled making me laugh.
"He's remembering from around week ago when he almost hit me with his dragon slayer magic in his sleep!" I laughed as I reminisced at the moment.
"Well don't you sound like an old lady like that?" Natsu said laughing.
"Eh, when you did you wake up? Last time I looked at you, you were sleeping in dreamland!" I shouted and pushed the unsuspecting mage off of me.
"Well, I didn't know you liked looking at me when I sleep!" he smirked and laughed.
"Maybe I do, but why would it matter? We are, um together now, are we not?" I asked him while a fresh blush arose on my cheeks.
"I just think it's funny!" he said laughing at me. "Hey, you didn't get any sleep, did you?"
"N-no I didn't, but don't worry, I'm not the one who's supposed to be getting sleep. You're still recovering Natsu! Now, are you hungry?" I asked him, already knowing the answer.
"I'm always hungry! How could you think I'm not!?" he yelled flailing his arms around to emphasize his statement.
"Alright, now what kind of food, ah, I know how about some Nikujaga?" I asked him smiling.
"Mm, some Nikujaga would suit my appetite well! Well, more like twenty of them…" He smiled as his stomach growled for food.
"Alright, Nikujaga it is! I really am in the mood for it, aren't you?" I smiled as I got out of bed and went to the room service lacrima. I ordered five Nikujaga dishes for Natsu and me, four for Natsu, one for me.
"Well, they're on their way with the Nikujaga!" I said smiling. I pranced over to Natsu knelt down on both knees on the floor.
"Good, 'cuz I'm starving!" he whined and rolled on his clutching his stomach.
"Ha, ha, I'm hungry too." I said, resting my chin on my arms which were crossed over each other on the bed.
"You better not eat mine." He pouted and crossed his arms over each other.
'Mm, Natsu looks so hot!' I thought giddily. 'S-stop me, don't think like that! Sure you've been friends since you first met all of those years ago, but it's not like you've been with him for that long!'
"Ne Luce, why do you seem uneasy?" Natsu asked me, sitting up on the bed. He brought his head very close to mine and looked me straight in the eye.
"U-um, it's nothing so please don't worry about it, eh heh." I said holding my hands up to emphasize the fact.
'Natsu, what I really want to tell you is that I'm completely and utterly in love with you and I'm getting some pretty creepy thoughts in my mind because of that!' my mind wailed out.
Sweat rolled down my face from Natsu's intense stare. I was pretty sure I was going to crack from it but thank the spirits; he pulled away before I did crack.
"You aren't alright, and it is something to worry about. When someone's my nakama, I don't just sit there and watch them suffer it to the end. I help them through it, and you know that." He told me sternly, looking me in the eye with that penetrating stare again.
"It's not something I can talk about with you. It's um, kind of a girl thing." I told him sheepishly with my head down and poking my fingers together simultaneously.
"So, is that supposed to be a problem?" Natsu asked me like it was nothing.
"IT'S A GIRL THING, I ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT!" I shouted at the dragon slayer.
"And you're a girl, so it makes sense. Now, what's the problem again?" he asked me, scratching his salmon pink hair.
"Never mind, just forget about it." I said doing a face palm.
"Just tell me and I'll stop bothering you." He said teasingly and smirked, leaning in closer.
"F-fine, just back away!" I said stuttering and pushing him away.
"Geez Luce, you're edgy!" he laughed and fell on the bed.
"Mph, well how would I not be?" I asked him and crossed my arms over my chest.
"Room service." A faint voice traveled through the doors of the suite.
"About time!" Natsu shouted jumping off of the bed and rushed to the door.
"Natsu!" I scolded him while failing to beat him to the door.
"Wa-ha, it looks delicious!" Natsu said while admiring the tray of food.
The room service man smiled with his eyes closed and gave us the food. When he opened them he wouldn't take his eyes off of me. Not only did that make me uncomfortable, it made Natsu infuriated.
"Thanks for the food; you can get out before I beat you to ashes!" Natsu yelled gritting his teeth and holding up a flaming fist.
"Natsu, don't say that, he was nice enough to bring up you're insane order, so thank him properly!" I scolded him and slapped his face.
"Lucy!" he hissed, which I happily returned for a menacing stare. "Fine, thank you for bringing up my insanely huge order, Mr. Room-Service-Guy." He grumbled.
"You are welcome!" the guy said. When Natsu was walking away he whispered to me; "If ya' get bored of him I'm in the kitchen!"
"W-what?" I said before slamming the door shut. I walked over to Natsu who was already on his second bowl of Nikujaga.
"Natsu, save some for me!" I shouted at the hungry dragon slayer.
"Oh sorry, here you go Luce!" he said and shoved a spoonful of Nikujaga into my mouth.
"N-Naru, what lhe?" I asked trying to swallow the food.
"Well, you said to save some for you, so I thought that I should just give you some before it ran out!" Natsu said cheerfully and tried to stuff more into my mouth.
"No Natsu, I don't want you to feed me more!" I shouted at him and pushed to spoon away.
"Well aren't you grouchy." He pouted and stuffed the spoon into his own mouth.
"I thought you said that you don't share silverware with your nakama." I smirked and sat down on the bed next to him.
"Yeah, with people who are just nakama, like Erza or Gray." Natsu said with some Nikujaga on his cheek.
"Uh Natsu, you have a little something on your cheek." I pointed to food on his face.
"Oh can you get that?" he asked with a playful expression on his face.
'What is he planning?' I asked myself.
"I'm just too lazy to lick it off myself." He told me.
"Natsu, are you intending for me to lick it off of you myself?" I asked him cautiously.
"Mmmmhmm." He smirked.
"F-fine, I'll do it." I told him and leaned into him a bit.
I was taken by surprise when he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I reluctantly licked the food off of his cheek and started to back away. I was taken aback when just pulled me back and even closer than last time.
"Natsu, what's the meaning of this?" I asked him impatiently and tried to hide my excitement.
"I know what problems you were talking about, I'm having them too!" he said releasing me.
"Wha-!"
