Title: Disconcert
A/N: I thought it would be interesting to write about the almost kiss in the Asuka omake in Lucy's POV
"Lucy, do you kiss Natsu?"
In hindsight, she probably should have expected this kind of question from a six-year-old child. She was painfully aware of the fact that there were people in the guild speculating about her relationship with her Dragon Slayer friend behind her back (with Mirajane most likely being their ringleader, she thought), so of course it was natural that Asuka would make that kind of conclusion. However, like what happened in those hot springs months ago, just the mere thought of her and Natsu being that intimate with each other was enough to get her extremely flustered.
"Papa and Mama do it all the time," the young child cheerily explained to Lucy, completely oblivious to how much the teenager was freaking out right in front of her.
"U-Uh…Natsu and I aren't Mommy and Daddy," she tried to reason to the six-year-old as she could've sworn that she felt steam rising out of her head right then, however…
"Natsu, it's an order."

It became all clear to her that this girl wasn't messing around here.
"No way! I'm not gonna…" 'That's totally out of the question!,' she thought. There was no way she was going to let a little kid tell her how she was going to have her first kiss, and no amount of crying was going to make her change her mind either!
But then, Natsu suddenly faced her. "Well, it ain't like we're gonna die or anything…" he said in a surprisingly calm manner.
Her mind then blanked out. 'Oh no…'
"Wait, wait…you've got to be kidding…" she told him, frantically hoping that he really was joking and that he was going to back out at the last second. However, as his lips started inching in closer to her face, she knew she had to do something, and fast.
If there was anything she learned in the five seconds it took her to grab Happy and block Natsu's lips with his, it would probably be this:
"Kids are scary…"
