I was completely and utterly and absolutely stunned from what Natsu had said.
"W-what did you just say?" I asked him, faltering.
"I said; 'I'm having the same problems as you, Lucy'. How is that so hard to understand?" Natsu asked me with his hands crossed over each other.
"Do you even know what you're talking about?" I murmured to him.
'If he's having those kinds of feelings, what could it mean?' I thought and looked at him, awaiting his answer.
"Yeah, I was having problems deciding which kind of Nikujaga to get as well!" he smiled and looked at me.
"Eh, that's the problem you were having!?" I yelled at him.
'Lucy, how stupid can you be? The farthest he's ever going to get to being romantic would be a kiss! And that's really actually a lot more romantic than I thought he could be…' I thought.
"Yeah why, wasn't that the problem you were having?" he asked as he collapsed next to me on the bed.
"I'm not telling you!" I shrieked at him and snatched the nearest pillow and wacked him with it.
"O-ow Luce, that hurts! What was that for?" Natsu asked as I repeatedly hit him with the pillow. "Owwww Luce! What are you even hitting me for?!"
"I'm hitting you because you are a complete idiot!" I fumed at him.
'I actually don't know why I'm hitting Natsu, oh well…' I thought as I hit him harder.
"I'm sorry, all I wanted to know was your problem!" he shouted, laughing.
"Heh, like I said, I'm not telling you!" I told him, laughing out every word. I had stopped hitting him with the pillow soon after.
We just laid down on the bed laughing and were indulged deep in our own thoughts. My arms were strewn across Natsu's chest while his arms were lazily put around my waist. That's when we heard a weird muffled voice outside our door.
"Housekeeping!" a "maid" chirped outside our door.
"Eh, oh I guess it's a 'maid'. It would never be Mira or Erza eavesdropping on us." I whispered to Natsu with an amused smirk on my face.
"Okay, what you need to do is put only a towel around your waist and I'll out one around my body. That way we can surprise them and make them think they interrupted us." I said with an evil glint in my eye.
I was playing out the while scene in my mind; Erza blushing and running off in complete embarrassment
"Eh Luce, are you alright?" Natsu asked me with an unusual look on his face.
"Yes, now do it before they become suspicious!" I hissed at him and ran out of the bed and grabbed two towels from the bathroom.
Natsu quickly undressed on the floor on one side of the bed while I did the same on the other side.
"Hmm, I wonder how she'll really react!" I whispered, giddy with excitement. I wasn't sure why I was excited about this, but I was.
"Ready?" I asked Natsu who stood up with the thumbs up sign.
"Alright!" I said and started walking to the door. Then I looked back at Natsu, whose towel fell down…
"N-Natsu, y-your tow-el." I stammered while looking away from Natsu. He looked down, thinking he'd see his towel, but only to go wide eyed and blush with embarrassment.
"Th-thanks Luce." He laughed awkwardly and looked at me weird. "U-m, I could now say the same about your towel." He said pointing to me.
"Eh?" I asked looking down at myself. At that moment I expected to hear Happy saying; "That's sexy Lucy!" with his usual laugh. "Eeeee!" I squealed as quietly as I could. I reached down for the towel, and then looked back up at Natsu who was still staring. "Look away you moron!" I squeaked as I found a loose pebble on the carpet and threw it at him.
He turned around; his movements resembled that of a frozen penguin turning around. I quickly wrapped my towel around my body and whispered to Natsu for him to turn around. We crept to the door and reached for the doorknob. When I opened it I saw Erza, Mira, and Lisanna in shock.
"N-Natsu and Lucy, well isn't it fancy seeing you here?" Erza asked, still shocked as she rubbed the back of her head with her fingers. She was in a maid outfit which seemed really awkward, yet like her.
"You're in a towel…" Lisanna muttered her eyes blank as she stared at me. Her penetrating gaze was not only making me, but Natsu as well nervous.
"What were you two doing in there?" Mira asked as she showed the tiniest sliver of a smile that only I could see.
"Well, you guys sure came at the wrong time!" Natsu laughed which made the girls who cosplayed as maids give us a weird stare. Erza's was more like an embarrassed yet angry look.
"What exactly were you doing in there?" Lisanna asked us in a half whisper.
"Exactly what people do in a bed!" Natsu said casually while he laughed.
'Natsu is really dense, but he's making this just how I wanted it!' I thought while laughing my head.
"WHHHHAAAAAAT?" they all shouted with their hands over their mouths. Mira was shocked that Natsu had said that. Lisanna looked like she was about to have a breakdown, I'm sorry Lisanna. Then there's Erza, she refrained from her maid costume into what it looked like, her Flame Empress armor…
"Under-age sex? That should be breach of the law!" she shouted as she came at us, only to held back by Mira.
"Calm down Erza!" Mira said with her arms wrapped around Erza.
"W-what, whoever said we did that!?" Natsu shouted with an oncoming blush on his cheeks. "We slept, y'know, so we could be rested for tomorrow at the beach 'cuz I'm gonna beat that ice princess to a pulp!"
"Eh?" They said, going pale so that their only color was white.
"Ha ha, you guys totally fell for it!" I laughed as I re-entered my room and flopped myself on the bed, making sure to hang on to my towel. "So gullible!"
"Say that again Lucy." Erza said with a death glare in her eyes.
"No thanks!" I told her. "Anyways, don't fret, we weren't really naked, it was all just a part in my elaborate plan! You girls decided to snoop in on us, so I decided to surprise you and make you think the wrong thing." I finished with a smirk on my face.
"Well we were outwitted." Lisanna sighed and sat next to me.
"It's okay Lisanna!" I told her reassuringly as I slung an arm around her Natsu style.
"Looks like you guys undressed pretty quickly though." Mira said with a mischievous tone in her voice.
"Eh, well we didn't want to make you too suspicious!" I told her and crossed my arms over my chest in defense.
"Lucy just told me to hurry up so I did." Natsu said as he grabbed his clothes and went to the bathroom.
"So you got undressed in the same room?" Erza hissed with a glare in her eye.
"H-Hai…" I whispered, trembling as I raised a hand as if confirming my answer.
"Then, you better invite me to your wedding." Erza ordered me with a smile. "And your baby shower!" She added, which made us all choke on our own saliva.
"Baby shower, what is that? A shower full of babies?" Natsu asked us as he walked out with his usual attire. "Or maybe a shower full of Happy's, now that would be something!"
"I guess Happy is a baby." Lisanna smiled mischievously as she looked at Natsu.
'She's really getting on my nerves! I like Lisanna, but it's like she's trying to ruin any chance of a romantic conversation about Natsu and me….but I can't really blame her.' I thought as I looked at her wonderingly.
"Our baby, Natsu." Lisanna finished which made my eyes widen. I had forgotten that Lisanna and Natsu had hatched Happy together.
"But he's not a baby anymore." Natsu bluntly replied.
"True, but we still," Lisanna said, getting cut off by Erza.
"I think we should leave now. We came to see how Natsu was doing, and now we have done that. It's almost midnight, so go to bed!" Erza directed. "Natsu, you should be able to go to the beach tomorrow. You seem to be quite stable." And with that, Erza dragged Lisanna and Mira out of there.
When I looked over to Mira I saw her mouth something, I think it was; "Tell me the details tomorrow".
"Hm, well Natsu, let's get to bed." I murmured groggily. I snuggled under the covers and awaited for Natsu to envelope me in his warm embrace.
"Lucy?"
"Yes, Natsu?" I asked him with my eyes closed.
"You still have your towel on…" He told me, which would have been nice before I got comfy…
"Dammit, oh well, just deal with it, Natsu." I told him while yawning.
"Okay Luce, but what if it comes off?"
"Don't even go there." I hissed, and fell asleep.
~o~
'Awe Luce, you're so sweet and innocent when you're tired. But really, what if the towel does come off?' I asked myself as I drifted off to sleep.
When it was morning, I was annoyed that the sun's rays had to hit directly in my eyes. I tried to reposition myself so that they would be out of my way, but I was stopped by Lucy, who was right on top of me. A naked Lucy, who was right on top of me.
"U-um, L-Luce?" I stammered as I poked her. "W-wake up!"
"Huh, oh g'morning Natsu!" she smiled groggily as she got reposition herself so she could pull on my cheeks. "Is it really morning?" she asked as she burrowed into neck to escape the morning light.
'Geez, if she keeps this up I might get into one of those 'Lucy Moods', the ones where I feel really awkward and just want to throw her on a bed and like, make out with her and what Erza said should be 'a breach of the law'…' I thought as I got more into that mood.
"You're towel came off in your sleep…" I told her.
"Hm, oh yeah, it did. No wonder, I did take it off." She mewed happily in my neck.
"Oh ok, wait WHAT!?" I yelled jumping up into a sitting position. Lucy still clung onto me with her chest on mine, her arms wrapped around my neck, and her legs around my waist.
"I. Took. It. Off." She said removing her head from my neck to look me in the eye.
"Ok, why?" I asked, getting more aroused, I think you call it that, with every passing moment.
~o~
Natsu was getting more aroused with every passing second, while the same went for Lucy, but she didn't know it, whereas Natsu did.
"I took it off because it was hot." Lucy smiled to the blank faced Natsu.
"Oh, so can you put it back on?" Natsu asked her, gulping nervously.
"Nope, it's still hot." She answered, pulling herself under Natsu who was now on top of her.
"L-Lucy, what are you doing?" Natsu asked her, not knowing how to respond to her actions.
"Well this is a dream, so I can do whatever I want in it, and not get in trouble. No consequences." Lucy smiled back at him. Natsu tried to avert his gaze from her large chest which was just begging for him to violate it.
"Lucy, listen here, it's not a dream." Natsu chuckled awkwardly as he told her it was reality.
"W-what?" she asked him, making sure she'd heard him right. "You mean to tell me, it's actually morning?" Lucy quickly sat up and attempted to cover her breasts.
"Yeah, so what were you planning to do?" Natsu asked her, sitting up in front of her.
"D-don't ask me things like that when I thought it was a dream!" Lucy hissed, a deep blush was already on her cheeks.
"You wanted to do that, didn't you?" Natsu asked her.
~o~
"Yes." I answered, curling up into a ball and hugging myself tighter.
'Now I'm in for it. He's totally going to reject me! How could I be so stupid to think this was a dream?' I thought, scolding myself in my mind.
"Actually, I was having those same thoughts." Natsu laughed awkwardly again. "I call them my Lucy Moods."
"Lucy Moods?" I asked, confused. "You mean, when you feel like that, it's for, me?"
"Yeah, I um, I seem to feel like that a lot now. It's weird. Like you, and they seem to be for you so, that's why I call them 'Lucy Moods'." Natsu told me which made me blush even further, if it was possible.
'Lucy Moods? So he has had those feelings for me? But for how long I wonder?' I thought, not believing the things he was telling me.
"So you, wanted to do that with me? For how long did you have these feelings?" I asked him sheepishly, ducking my head in my knees.
"Well, they started around when I started sleeping in your bed." Natsu told me, which made gasp in astonishment.
"But, that was, so long ago." I thought aloud.
'He was feeling like this so long ago? And yet he held it in and never tried anything? Okay so maybe only a couple things…' I thought shocked at how well he did despite his feelings. 'Eh, I guess it could also be because he's dense.'
"But at the time, I didn't get the feelings until I remembered something Igneel had told me. Oh, and also Gildarts was talking about something quite loudly." Natsu said laughing.
"Ha ha, I was so right when I thought that Gildarts was a part in you knowing how you felt!" I laughed, forgetting that I was naked as I sprung at Natsu for a hug.
"Lucy, you're naked…" Natsu told me, waiting to put his arms around me.
"Who cares?" I told him, hugging him tighter. He finally put his arms around me. We just stayed there for a while, until we heard a knock at the door.
"It's Erza, hurry up and get out here, it's already noon!" Erza commanded outside our door, probably with her arms crossed and her Legendary Swimsuit on.
"Eh, noon?" I asked myself, then realizing that Erza was still outside. "Oh, yes ma'am!" I replied, untangling myself from Natsu as I went to get my bikini from my luggage.
"Natsu, get your swimsuit on!" I whispered at him, tossing his flame styled swimming apparel at him.
"Thanks Luce!" he said, smiling as he removed his clothes and put on his swim shorts.
I put on my bikini bottoms and started on the top part, but I was having trouble with tying it behind my neck. Natsu looked at me as if to ask; "Do you need help?" I nodded and put up my hair so he could tie it easily. Natsu walked over to help me tie the strings on my bikini.
"How do I do this?" Natsu asked with a confused look.
"You really don't know!?" I spouted at him.
"It was a joke, Luigi!" he laughed, tying the strings.
"Thanks, Flamey." I hissed at him, grabbing some flip-flops and putting them on so I could head out to the beach. We both reached the door to meet Erza, just how I thought we would, arms crossed and a Legendary Swimsuit on.
"Good, you two are ready, so let's go." She commanded as we head to the beach.
When we got to our destination, I saw everyone already there; Gray, who was naked, Juvia who was staring at Gray, Mira who was waving at me, Levy who was smiling secretively at me, and many more people who didn't bother to stare at us. Well, I guess there was Lisanna who was staring at me with a glare that seemed to pierce my skin.
"Oh this sun feels so nice! I've really been deprived of this luxury for a while." I said, stretching out my cramped up muscles.
"I know right!" Natsu smiled, running over to Gray, then immediately punching him in the face and calling him a pervert.
"Oh Lu-chan!" Levy waved as she brought over a hoard of gossip hungry guild girls. "I brought some people to tell about Natsu to!"
"Oh Levy, I thought it would be just you and me!" I pouted, looking at the girls. One of them was Lisanna, and right away I knew that if she was there than there would be no end to some type of jealousy.
"Really?" Levy asked, cocking her head to one side. "I guess I'll tell them to go home." She smiled all Levy-like to them and waved them off. She then turned to me and said; "Now tell me everything!"
"We almost did it!" I squeaked with excitement of being able to tell someone.
"Lu-chan you naughty girl!" Levy giggled and beckoned me to a beach chair.
"I know, I know!" I giggled back. The water touched our toes and we decided to go in to talk.
"So, with all that happened, where does that leave you two?" Levy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Didn't I tell you?" I asked her. "We're dating." Saying that had left a new bud of blushing on my cheeks as I looked away to spot Natsu in the crowd. He was fighting Gray like usual, but they were centering in a bit close.
"Gray you bastard! Stop freezing the water!" Natsu hissed at the ice-make mage.
"Then stop melting my ice!" Gray hissed back.
"Wait, so you and Natsu are a thing!?" Levy shouted, making to whole guild stare at her, Natsu, and me.
"Oh no." I whimpered, doing a face palm.
~o~
Since everyone was caught off guard by Levy, I saw my chance. I went over to Natsu and sent him flying, not really anywhere in particular. But he had seemed to land on Lucy from the loud conversation that was no going on between them.
"Natsu, stop pulling on my top!" Lucy hissed to Natsu.
"I'm the perv? Puh-lease!" I laughed walking off, scratching my raven black hair.
