"Hey Natsu, why do you sleep in Lucy's bed?" Happy asked. They had just finished fishing for the day and were on their way to meet Lucy at the guild.
Natsu paused for a moment. "Hmm...because it's Lucy's?"
"NATSU! That's not good enough!" Happy was worried; if all Natsu's answers were like this, then Mirajane would not be happy. And an unhappy Mirajane is the last thing anyone in the guild wants.
Natsu hefted the fish on his shoulders. "Let's get to the guild so we can eat."
"Aye, sir!" Happy said, saluting to no one in particular.
Mirajane was furious. Lily and Carla were great for information gatherers. But Happy...brought back fish. And there was nothing romantic about fish; Carla would know.
She eyed the couple at a table a few meters away from her hawk-like gaze. Lucy was smiling at something Natsu said. Was that a blush? The barmaid giggled.
"So, Natsu, I meant to ask you: why do you sleep in my bed?" Lucy was curious. No, she was more than curious. She needed to know.
Natsu paused in his eating flames to seriously consider the question. Was it because it smelled like Lucy? No, he'd sleep in her closet if only for smell. It was warm? No, he was the source of warmth.
"Because that's where you are. And where you are is where I want to be." Simple. The honest truth. Natsu turned back to his fire.
Lucy was blushing. Her cheeks were a rosy red and felt like they were on fire. He wanted to be by her side all the time?
At the bar, Mirajane looked up from the mug she was cleaning. Her ears were nearly as sharp as a Dragon Slayer's when it came to romance. At Natsu's comment, a glass mug suddenly shattered as Mirajane wept for joy.
In a corner of the world far far away, a dragon suddenly felt that old feeling, that someone has gotten extremely close to your child's heart.
Done! Hope you liked it! It's short and sweet, like a cupcake! Please review!
