Lucy returned home after a long day from doing a job. Luckily the sun was still up so she had plenty of time to start writing. She went into her closet and changed into some comfortable clothes then sat at her desk and picked up her quill. The celestial mage had decided to start from the beginning. The VERY beginning. Back when she first met Natsu in Hargeon, which was more than a year ago, or 8 years because of what happened with the Fairy Sphere. 'To think that if I hadn't met him back then I wouldn't be here now...' Lucy thought to herself. She decided to make him the dedication of her novel. Turning over a blank sheet of paper she began writing on the next piece.

'Dedicated to Natsu Dragneel for being the start of all my adventures'

She smiled as she reread the sentence a couple times over. 'I've known him for more than a year now...' The smile on her face grew wider until she let out a slight giggle. 'Snap out of it, Lucy! Stay focused!' She forced her quill to the next sheet and wrote Chapter 1 at the top. No more distractions, she had to get to work. And so, she began her new novel.

Lucy jerked awake nearly toppling the chair she was sitting in and gave herself a mini heart attack trying to restore the chairs balance. Once the chair made solid ground she let out a sigh of relief. Looking at her pages she realized she must have gotten a lot done before falling asleep. She stood from her desk still half asleep and turned off her light. She fell into the bed and crawled under the warm blankets. The other half of her that was awake slowly followed the other and she fell asleep again. For some reason the blankets were unusually warm.

She woke up not even an hour later from tossing and turning so much under the heat. Rolling over onto her side she saw two large eyes staring back at her. She couldn't move, like she was paralyzed. It took her a moment to recognize who it was and she moved freely again, ripping off the covers and jumping out of the bed.

"N-Natsu?! Why are you in my bed?!" Lucy screamed. She continued yelling at him as he mumbled under his breath that he must have fallen asleep. He groggily sat up and shifted his hand through his messy pink hair.

"It's too early to be yelling, Lucy." He moaned.

"I don't care! Don't go crawling into other people's beds while they're sleeping!" She continued.

"You crawled in with me." Natsu defended himself.

"W-What?" She lowered her tone.

"I came in while you were writing and fell asleep waiting for you to finish. You came into the bed while I was asleep." He explained.

"Okay," She could feel the heat rising to her cheeks, "Could you please move to the couch?" She asked trying to avoid eye contact. Natsu noticed her uncomfortable gaze the other direction and grabbed the blankets from her hands and used his other hand to grab her arm and drag her back down to the bed, throwing the covers over them. Lucy let out a little yelp the moment he pulled her down. Her heart was racing as her gaze met his again. He had a large grin on his face.

"If you're so uncomfortable sleeping with me," Natsu began as stuffed a pillow between them, "I'll put this here if it makes you feel any better." He laid back down and turned rolled over facing away from Lucy. It was too dark for him to notice Lucy's now bright red face as she rolled away from him as well and tucked her knees into her chest. It was one thing to sleep with him unknowingly, but knowing he was there just made her chest pound rapidly. 'This isn't happening...'

Somehow she managed to fall asleep once more.

The next morning, Lucy woke to the sun shining through the windows and in her eyes. She mentally noted to get darker curtains so this would stop happening. Sitting up she noticed the pillow was still there, but not Natsu. 'Guess he already went to the guild' She thought to herself. It was a good thing he left. She didn't need any distractions while she was writing. She then noticed last night's absence of a certain blue exceed. Happy was almost always with Natsu, so it was weird that he wasn't there last night. Saving the thought for later, she immediately stood from the bed and went into the bathroom to freshen up. Running the water, she cupped her hands beneath it and splashed her face. Her hands reached to grab a towel and she dried off her face. She looked into the mirror recalling last nights events. Her heart sped at the thought and she rubbed the rest of her face trying to forget it ever happened.

Lucy walked out of the bathroom and straight to the kitchen where she grabbed a granola bar and tore off the wrapper as she sat down at her desk. She look a large bite out of the granola bar and picked up her quill to continue where she left off. She spent hours writing and rereading her work examining and errors and making sure that the work wasn't "amateur". By noon she had a stack of papers 3 times larger than the work she did the night before. 'Just a little bit more and I'll take a break'

About 2 hours later she finally took her break. Looking at her large pile she couldn't help but feel proud. She was already more than half way done and this was the quickest she's ever gotten this far. Her other novels had taken months to write but this one is going quickly. Maybe it was because she took so little time to write before that her other novels took so long. She stood from the chair and stretched out her arms over her head.

"I guess I'll go to the guild for a little while." She said looking out the window. It was a bit overcast, like it was going to rain. She ran to the guild not risking getting soaked.

As she walked into the guild she glanced around looking for either Happy or Natsu. From what she could tell, it was really calm there, so they probably were somewhere else. She walked to the bar and sat in one of the stools. While she was sitting, she felt others in the guild glancing at her.

"Hi, Lucy! How are you doing? I haven't seen you all morning!" Mira said in her usual cheery attitude.

"Oh hey Mira! I'm good, I've just been writing all morning. I had a hard time sleeping last night, so I'm still a bit tired." Lucy smiled trying to be as subtle about it as possible.

"Natsu isn't with you?" She asked handing Lucy a drink.

"I haven't seen him in awhile, who knows where he went." Lucy started to take sips from the beverage. "Mira, can I have my usual?"

"Sure! I'll be right back." Mira rounded the corner into the kitchen to ready Lucy's meal.

Lucy took small sips trying to ignore the people who kept looking at her. Seriously, what was wrong with them? People look at her every now and then but never this much. Lucy turned her head over her shoulder, shooting a glare at her fellow guild members who immediately looked away. She noticed Levy approaching the bar and turned to her once she sat down next to her.

"Hey Lucy," Levy said in a low tone. Lucy could feel everyone staring at her now instead of just randomly glancing. To make it short, she felt very uncomfortable with what Levy was about to say. "I know this is none of my business but... Everyone is wondering..." She leaned closer to her ear and whispered "How's Natsu in bed?"

Lucy's eyes widened as she started choking on her drink. "WHAT?!" She choked out of her coughing fit. After recomposed herself, she put her hand onto Levy's shoulder and took a deep breath.

"How did you know about that?" She whispered. Levy's eyes lit up.

"So you admit you did it with him!" Levy tried being as quiet as she could while also trying to contain her excitement.

"NO!" Lucy screamed a little too loudly. Realizing how loud she spoke, she toned down. "I just happened to fall asleep in the same bed as him not knowing he was there until the middle of the night. How did you find out anyway?" Levy backed away a little as Mira set the plate in front of Lucy.

"Happy came in here last night trying to convince Carla and Wendy to let him stay the night with them because you fell asleep with Natsu. He didn't want to intrude because, in his words, you liiiiike him." Levy pressed her fingers against her lips to half cover her grin. Mira looked over at Lucy who had a slight blush on her angered face.

"So now you know!" Mira added.

As if on cue, Natsu and Happy burst through the guild hall doors. Lucy jumped out of her stool and started pushing them back outside. "We need to talk. Now." She said with a final shove before closing the doors behind her.

Sorry, I posted this way later than I had originally planned. I wrote it yesterday but it accidentally got erased so I had to rewrite it. I'm going to be busy the next couple days, but I'll write the next chapter in my spare time. I'm going on vacation, so I'm going to bring my laptop in order to keep updates on this story. Give me some reviews! I finally put some Nalu in! I'll put up the next chapter as soon as I can.
