AN: Thank you everyone who reviewed, favorited, followed, etc. I'm so glad you all are enjoying these oneshots! ^^

Fun Fact: I actually wrote this oneshot months ago (like way before NaLu Week was even announced), however, I was too chicken to upload it. When I saw that the third bonus prompt was "Summer," or "Sleep," I thought this would work out nicely.

I think this works with both prompts, but it leans more towards "Sleep," so that's why i titled it like that.

Okay, enough commentary. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Guys, I can't even draw stick people properly! What makes you think I could draw something as good as Fairy Tail?

'It's so. Freaking. HOT!'

These are the words going through Lucy's mind as she lies in bed in a practically boiling room.

Magnolia is going through a massive heat wave that makes daytime unbearable and the citizens miserable. Hell, even at night the Celestial Mage has to turn on an extra fan because there is not enough of a breeze coming through her open windows.

However, while it is particularly hot this time at night, it is not the temperature outside that is making her extra miserable. No, what is making her wish to fill her bathtub with ice cubes and just jump right in is in the form of her Dragon Slayer partner, Natsu Dragneel.

It is not a secret that Natsu sneaks into Lucy's bed (which brings on many opportunities for teasing and awkward conversations from her peers, much to the blonde's embarrassment). In the beginning, Lucy reprimanded and yelled at the man to please respect her privacy and kindly get the hell out of her bed. But then along came winter and very chilly nights, leading Lucy to decide that maybe extra heat wasn't so bad.

However, it is no longer winter anymore. It is now summer and with the weather, Natsu's temperature also rises. Which in turn, makes him absolutely unbearable to be around in the same bed.

Especially when he has picked up the habit of cuddling her.

So here is Lucy in her summer pajamas consisting of a thin spaghetti strap tank top and some of her favorite short-shorts, lying on a bed with only a sheet as a cover with two of her best fans blowing refreshing air into the room…and a cuddle whore of a fire dragon slayer whose body is (she swears) a hundred degrees!

Oh yeah, it's also two in the morning and the blonde and her teammates have to leave early for a mission the following day!

Fan-freaking-tastic!

"Natsu," she groggily whines, "let go. You're suffocating me!"

She is met with a groan and the exact opposite of what she wants, Natsu's arms tightening their hold. At this rate, come morning Lucy will probably have third degree burns!

"Natsu!" she repeats, louder this time, "At least ease up on your grip!"

Obviously this is one of those nights where Natsu is completely out cold. Lucy wishes she could be immune to this insufferable heat wave, but alas, life isn't fair.

Huffing an exasperated sigh, the blonde grabs hold of her friend's arms and pulls on them with all her might. Eventually, she manages to loosen them. As stealthily as she can, she replaces herself with her pillow. The Dragon Slayer takes the bait and Lucy could cry tears of joy at how refreshing and cooler the air is now.

"Free at last!" she cheers quietly so she would not wake up her partner, and carefully gets out of her bed and onto the couch.

"Luuucy," she hears someone whine. Turning her head, she spots happy groggily rubbing his eyes and staring at her, "why are you so loooud?"

Lucy rolls her eyes at the feline, "Sorry, Happy. Just go back to sleep, okay?"

"Why are you out of bed?" he continues and Lucy notices Natsu stir slightly. 'Oh, no!'

"Shhh!" she quiets him, "I'm just going to sleep on the couch. Now go back to sleep before Natsu wakes up."

"Okay," he consents but gives her one last sly look, "but when Natsu wakes up in the morning, he'll be really upset you moved."

Lucy ignores the teasing comment and the flush on her cheeks, 'Damn cat.'

With that last thought, she lies down on the couch and is pulled into sleep, not even bothering to cover herself up (Why bother anyway?).

The sunlight streaming into her windows wakes her up. Once she is aware, she realizes she is no longer on the couch, but in her bed instead.

'So Natsu did move me, huh? Figures. But why didn't his body heat wake me up?'

Lucy's answer comes to her when she notices that her only companion on the bed is a still sleeping Happy. She thinks maybe Natsu woke up in the night and switched places with her out of rare courtesy. She then notices the warm hand around hers, finding the real reason for the Dragon Slayer's absence. There on the floor is Natsu; sound asleep with his hand gripping hers.

"He woke up shortly after you did." She hears Happy say from the other side of the bed, "I told him you got really hot, so he decided to sleep on the floor and let you have the bed. Natsu really liiiiikes you, Lucy."

Despite the trademark roll of tongue, Lucy knows the cat is being genuine, which makes her heart swell with warmth and happiness at how much her partner cares. As quietly as she can, she dips down and places an innocent, chaste kiss on Natsu's forehead, ignoring Happy's squeal of delight.

"I knew it! You liiiike him! You liiiike him! You are so together! I can't wait to tell everyone else at the guild!" with that, the exceed flies out of Lucy's window before she can react.

"W-Wait, Happy, no! Come back, you stupid cat!" Unfortunately, before Lucy could run after the blue cat, the hand that is still encased in Natsu's pulls her back. The next she knows, she is on the floor with him.

She sighs in exasperation, "Geez, you can be so troublesome sometimes."

The quick twitch of his lips inform Lucy that he is awake, making her roll her eyes at how obvious he is.

"Alight, you win." She says, getting into a more comfortable position, "But we can't sleep long. Remember, we still have that mission to go on."

Natsu grunts in response and envelopes her in a hug. Surprisingly, it isn't as suffocating as it was last night (not that she is complaining). Giving in, Lucy closes her eyes and gives in to sleep, not even caring about the fact that Happy is most likely telling Mira about her simple and innocent kiss.

AN: Meh, it isn't the best in the world (I'm actually afraid I made Natsu too OOC), but I hope you still like it nonetheless.

Leave a review and tell me your thoughts. See you guys next time!
