day three
It is the third day and the sun is hiding and does not come out.
The rain goes on.
They are beginning to feel stuffy inside this room, and sometimes they will wander out and traverse the halls, pretending like they are in an adventure.
Lucy turns on the television and they watch for the entire morning, listening to weather reports and wondering if Gray rejected Juvia once and for all. ("I'll kill that Ice Bastard!")
Somewhere Gajeel's probably saying the same thing. Lucy can't help but think of Gajeel and how lonely he must be. After all, she is lucky that she has Natsu and Happy here, but Gajeel…oh, he must be all alone.
Lucy sits at her desk and writes her novel while glancing at the TV. Natsu's eyes are glued to the screen but she can tell he's actually daydreaming. Maybe about somewhere outside, maybe about his past. She doesn't know. Lucy just knows that she feels kind of hurt when she thinks about maybe he wants to get out of here. She wants him to stay here with her, not just because he's warm, but because he's her best friend. (and maybe something more?)
Because there's nothing to do, she's only finished three paragraphs by the time Natsu gets bored and comes over, poking at her and trying to read over her shoulder. She flicks his hair playfully and gives him a small kiss on the cheek. She tries to hide the flush that threatens to overtake her face, and succeeds, luckily.
"Natsu, I told you that you can't read my novel 'til it's done," Lucy sighs but puts her novel and quill away. "Let's do something, I guess." She bored, anyways, and kind of has writers block. There's no inspiration here.
They play Duck, Duck, Goose for the rest of the morning and although it's fun, she feels herself zoning out. It's not even fair coz Happy can fly faster that she can run and there are only three people anyways. Usually it ends up as Lucy chasing Natsu around her apartment. When she corners him and catches him, they begin a new round. No one catches Happy but eventually he ends up hiding in the refrigerator eating fish. He's bored too.
It's the afternoon now and the heat in her apartment begins to flicker. She curls up near Natsu and eventually ends up in his arms, tapping her fingers on his chest to the rhythm of the rain.
He's comfortingly warm and she falls asleep, stirring at the sounds of the television. She doesn't have to see – but she can feel the smile on his face. This life isn't so bad.
She wakes up and it's early morning, closer to midnight (maybe three a.m.?) and Natsu has moved her to the bed. Happy is cuddled in her arms and Natsu has both of them in a huge bear hug. This is what a loving family feels like, isn't it? Lucy falls back asleep and hugs Happy closer to her chest.
She's not awake, but Natsu wakes up at four and gives her a kiss on the top of her head, then falls back asleep. ("sweet dreams," he whispers into the darkness)
'Hey, I think I'm in love with you, weirdo.'
and so the third day ends
