Climax

Natsu was bored. Since Happy went on a job with Wendy and Carla, he decided to hang out with Lucy in her apartment. Unfortunately, his girlfriend was working on her novel, so Natsu wasn't left with anything to do. So that end, he was lying gone Lucy's bed, basking in the sun rays coming through the window.

"When are you going to be done?" Natsu asked.

"Let me just finish this chapter," Lucy said.

"When's that going to happen?"

"I don't know," Lucy answered, not looking up. Natsu groaned, as his eyes went back to the ceiling, and he waited. And waited. And waited.

Now it went without saying that Natsu wasn't the most patient of individuals, dragons generally weren't, so what was probably only five minutes felt like an hour. Natsu tried to past the time by spinning tendrils of fire through his fingers, but didn't want to burn down Lucy's apartment. Normally he didn't care about stuff like that, but what kind of boyfriend would render his girlfriend homeless? Though it would give Lucy an excuse to move in with him.

"Are you done yet?" Natsu asked.

"Nope."

*five minutes later

"Now?"

"No."

*five minutes later

"Now?"

"For the third and final time, no."

*five minutes later

"N…"

"NO!" Lucy snapped, slamming her pen down in frustration. Natsu blinked at her snapping.

"Well what's taking you?" he asked. Lucy sighed.

"I've got writer's block," she admitted, "I'm at this pivotal point in the story, and I can't think of anything."

"'Pivotal point'?" Natsu echoed.

"You know, the climax," Lucy said.

"What's a climax?" Natsu asked. At first Lucy was surprised.

"Haven't I…" She stopped herself. No doubt she had already told him, and he just forgot. Well, Lucy liked talking about literature anyway.

"The climax is the big turning point of the story," she explained, "Its where everything comes together."

"Oh," Natsu said.

"Now, after all this time, I'm finally at the climax," Lucy said, as she turned back to her writing desk, "Once I get that done, I'll be just about done. And, naturally, I'm completely blocked." Natsu listened to her, before getting off of the bed, and wrapping her arms around her, and putting his chin on her head.

"Maybe you need a break," he said.

"C'mon, Natsu, I've got keep my momentum," Lucy said.

"Then maybe you need inspiration," Natsu said, before lifting Lucy out of the hair, and carrying her bridal style to the bed, and sitting down. Lucy quickly s shifted onto his lap.

"Well..," she said, "Maybe a break would be good." She then starting kissing her boyfriend. The two cuddled and kissed for a time, as Natsu took off his shirt, and Lucy took off hers. And just as as Lucy was pushing Natsu down, her eyes lit up.

"I've got it!" she declared, before jumping to her writing desk, "I've got my climax!"

"Can't it wait?" Natsu asked in disappointment.

"And lose my inspiration?" Lucy asked, as she continued writing. Natsu just pouted. And he was so close this time.

Note: Again, sorry this was short, but these are brief one-shots based off one word prompts, so I just make these quick onsets that take a small prompt and run with it. In this case, I based the notion of "climax" on something that just popped into my head.

Be sure to review.
