day two
It is the second day and the sun is pale and hidden behind a veil of clouds.
The rain goes on.
Natsu and Happy have just never left, but that's okay, too, because Lucy has enough food to last all three of them for at least two weeks. She doubts she's gonna need it for that long coz the rain just can't last that long. It never hurts to stock up though.
They wake up in the morning and have a cheery breakfast, talking about missions they were gonna get next and when they'd become an S-class mage. Natsu talks about fighting Erza again, while she stifles giggles at remembrance of their last one on one fight. But of course, Natsu's main goal is to smash Gray ("that stripper!") to the ground once and for all before he can challenge Erza.
Lucy knows how strong Gray is and she really doubts that Natsu can beat him, although she doesn't say it out loud. However, she also knows that Gray is no stronger than Natsu.
In a bold declaration of passion, she points at Natsu, "Then I challenge you, too!"
"Don't be a weirdo, Luce," Natsu says, crossing his arms. "I don't wanna hurt you."
"You don't have to go easy, you know? I'll be trying my hardest too. When the rain ends, 'kay?" Lucy asks, staring wistfully out the window at the never-ending rain.
Natsu grumbles, "Fine…when is the rain ever gonna stop? I hafta go fight that Ice Princess."
(Somewhere above them Happy choruses, "Aye, sir!")
"Hey, hey, don't be so hasty," Lucy rebukes cheerfully, "I doubt he's outside in this weather either." She hums and clears the table, twirling by herself until she feels warm hands wrap around her waist. "Eh, Natsu?" she questions, setting the plates down on the counter and putting her small, pale hands on his large, tanned ones.
She twists out of his grasp, and then winks at him. "Wait here." She disappears into another room and turns on the radio, music blasting through the speakers. Actually, blasting would not be the right word – maybe waltzing through the speakers would be better.
Lucy hurries back. She gently lays Natsu's hands back where they were and turns around, facing him. "There," she whispers, and his cheeks flush a bit pink.
(Somewhere above them Happy choruses, "He lllikes her.")
They dance to the song and at some point Lucy lays her head on his shoulders and his hands tighten around her waist. They both think that this means nothing, and both are happy, albeit a bit embarrassed.
It is soon time for lunch and they pass the rest of the day in a blur, with nothing to do but to talk, write, and sleep. Natsu is content.
'Hey, you're not so bad yourself.'
and so the second day ends
