Chapter Five: The Blue Cat, the chase, and the fall.
Morning came and Lucy woke up to cool air. She smiled at last night, remembering a certain pink haired boy sleeping on her couch. Then it hit her. There's a boy, in her house, on her couch. This information makes Lucy shoot up from her bed and straight into the bathroom. She tends to her needs then walks out and heads for her room and changes into jeans and a T-shirt. When she walks out and into the living, she stands there shocked. Standing in the kitchen, shirtless, is Natsu next to the coffee machine. She stares at him, looking at his tattoo and broad shoulders. "Uhhm" Lucy says coming back to her senses. Natsu turns around with a cup of coffee in his hand, "Oh hey, morning." Lucy mumbles a good morning and proceeds to walking into the kitchen. "So what exactly happened to your shirt…?" She says heading to her pantry to get cereal. He looks down at himself, "ah, it got hot on the couch so I just took it off, sorry." He says coyly and scratches the back of his head. Lucy nods and stands there, "oh I see..". Awkward silence fills the room, "So uhm seems the lights are back, we should call the landlord after we eat." He nods, finishes off his coffee and heads to the bathroom.
After they ate breakfast with a still shirtless Natsu, Lucy gets up and heads to the living room and pulls her phone out. "Going to call now." she says and sits on the couch, with Natsu following. She dials the number and waits, and then the line gets picked up. She talks to a man with a gruffly voice and tells him of what has happened. She looks over at Natsu, "Yes he is here…. Yea I'll hand him the phone." She hands him the phone and he starts to talk. After about 10 minutes he says goodbye and hands the phone back to Lucy. "Well…" Lucy inquires raising an eyebrow, looking at Natsu. "Well, he said he'd be right over to open the door and hand me an extra key." He explains, getting up and heads to his clothes on the end of the couch. "You wanna come along?" he asks and puts his shoes on. Lucy thinks for a moment. "Sure, I've got nothing better to do." He smiles and heads to the door until she speaks up. "Uhm maybe you wanna put a shirt on first?" she says blushing a bit. He tilts his head then looks down, "Oh yeah." Then pulls on his shirt. "Let's go," he says excited and swings the door open.
XDXDXDXD
Later, the landlord came and opened the door, mumbling about idiots and doors then handed Natsu a key and left. Natsu walked into his house and nodded his head for Lucy to enter. She stepped in and looked around. His house was basically like hers but with less furniture and has one of the four walls in the living room painted, along with boxes everywhere. He closes the door, "Sorry for the mess, haven't gotten around to unpacking yet." He says putting down his clothes on his small couch. She shakes her head, "Oh no, your good," then a thought pops into her head. "Why don't I just help you with the unpacking so it'll go faster?" She offers. He thinks for a moment then grins, "Thanks Luce, that would be awesome." And with that they head to some boxes.
While aimlessly walking around, Lucy sees some plastic on the ground and a large amount of blue paint spilled over it. "Hey, Natsu you should really clean that up." He walks over, "Yeah in a bit I got to get some food ready." He says and walks to his semi-organized kitchen. "Ready for what?" she asks. He grins brightly at her and her heart flutters a bit. "You'll see," he says and opens his fridge pulling out half of a fish. She stares at it and covers her nose from the smell. "Why do you need a fish?" she asks bewildered. He smirks and heads to the living room near the unfinished wall and mess of paint. "Happy, come eat up!" he shouts. Lucy stands there looking at him as if he's gone crazy. Then a small kitten comes out of what seemed liked air. It's fur a light shade of gray and heading towards Natsu, eyeing the fish. Lucy stares in awe of how adorable and furry the small cat looks. Natsu picks the small kitten up, "Lucy, meet Happy." He brings Happy up to his face and speaks to the cat, "Sorry buddy I was locked out but here's something to make up for it." He puts Happy down and gives him the fish. Happy meows and starts to gobble up the fish, leaving the bones on the ground when he's finish.
After some unpacking, Natsu and Lucy sit on his small couch, talking about nothing in particular until they hear a meow from Happy who was near the wall and paint. They both stand up and head over, and what they see makes Lucy step back a bit. A small spider is on the wall and Happy is crouched low, waving his tail. As if in slow motion, Lucy and Natsu watch Happy jump at the spider, missing and falling. Then things speed up a bit, Happy hits the paint and lands sideways then rolls onto his other side and gets up as if nothing happened. Natsu watches then starts to move closer to the cat slowly, "Happy come here, we need to get the paint off!" Happy looks up then, as if he were smirking, starts to run off. Lucy watches as Natsu chases Happy, then starts to laugh and chases after the sly cat. Happy then jumps on the couch and Natsu starts to run up to him with Lucy behind. While running, Lucy's foot slips making her fall. She lands and looks down, seeing pink messy hair and acknowledges, she has landed on Natsu. The position they're in would have people thinking negatively if anyone walked in. Natsu was under Lucy, her chest covering most of his face and his hands on her waist. They stare at each other, their faces red with embarrassment. Lucy gets up and sits on the ground, "S-sorry." She says as Natsu sits up. He leans back on the couch, covering his face with his hands, face still red, "It's f-fine." Awkward silence fills the room until they hear a meow and look up to see Happy. They both burst out in laughter at the sight, Happy covered in blue paint from head to toe, lying on the couch.
Later, they cleaned up a bit and washed Happy, they sat on the couch. "So, is he going to stay blue?" Lucy asks while petting Happy. "I dunno, I'm okay with it though, I think it looks cool." Lucy giggles, "You would think that wouldn't you." He grins back at her. The night goes on with laughs and conversations until midnight. Lucy yawns, "I think I should be getting back." She says getting up. Natsu nods, "Yeah it is pretty late, I'll walk you out." He says and gets up. They walk to the door and he opens it as Lucy walks out. "See you around, goodnight." She says turning her head, smiling and waving. "You too, night." He closes the door and leans back on it, sliding to the ground. "Geez, that was close." He thought, blushing as he remembers Lucy on him. He gets up and heads to the bathroom, "Gonna be another cold shower then." Meanwhile, Lucy gets to her door and opens it, walking in, and closing it, "God, did that really happen!?" she blushes and heads to the bathroom to shower, then changes and heads to bed with thoughts of her day and a certain pair of hands.
