Awkward

Lucy was fast asleep when a sudden noise made her start to slowly wake up. Her head felt heavy and everything ached. She flickered her eyes open only to see she was in an unfamiliar room. She sat up and took in her surroundings. She was laying on a simple wooden framed bed with a powder pink comforter. The head of the bed faced toward a white vanity dresser with different cosmetics and hair ribbons thrown about it. Right beside the right of the bed was a giant window which she could imagined would be nice to gaze out. On the window ceil were a few picture frames and a small flower pot. On closer inspection to the pictures she saw one with her surrounded by people from the fairytail guild. Another was of a beautiful women resembling herself, only the women was older and adorned a big pink off the shoulder dress. Another was of the same women with a stern looking man and little girl. There was one more that was of herself and that strange pink haired man with the blue talking cat. Lucy looked around some more and saw a bookshelf, a few dressers and a big writing desk with two beautiful small boxes on top of it.

Lucy slid her feet off the bed onto the floor and looked closer to the things around her. She picked up a bottle of perfume on the vanity and put a small dab on her wrist. She smelled the fragrance. It was a sweet vanilla mixed with a slight strawberry scent almost like a pastry. She smiled and sat it down. Her hands moved over the many ribbons laying on the flat surface. She picked up a satin smooth red ribbon and placed her hair into a one sided ponytail Her hair being longer now was a little wavy at the ends where her hair ended at the top of her waist.

She moved over to the books and saw tittles like; memory days, Day break, key of the star heavens and a few issues of sorcerer weekly lay there too. She went to the writing desk and looked at a giant pile of papers with a cover page. It looked like some sort of book draft. Her hands smoothed over the top and a smile crossed her face unknowingly. She then put her hands on the small wood box and opened it seeing tons of letter in them. She took one out and saw them addressed to Layla Heartfillia. A tear came out the corner of her eye. 'That's my mother'. She tough, and then she looked back to the pictures of the beautiful blonde women. 'That must be her, and is that's so that man must be my father'. She wiped away the tear and placed the letter back in the box. She then sifted her attention to the ivory box. It really was pretty. It was decorated with stars and flowers etched into it with a giant flame symbol on the top. She was about to open it when she herd a loud crash. She hesitantly made her way to where the noise came from.

She went around a corner down a hall way into a kitchen area where she saw a shirtless pink haired many attempting to cook. She smiled but then blushed realizing her eyes were tracing his toned shirtless back. She saw Happy the cat contently munching on a raw fish sitting on a dining room table. She moved closer to the man and before she could say anything he turned around wearing a giant grin that made her heart skip a beat.

"Hey Luce!" He said as he put a messed up omelet onto a plate, along side some slightly burnt pieces of bacon and decently toasted bread.

"Oh..um..morning," She stuttered while fidgeting with her hands.

"I made breakfast so don't be afraid to dig in k." Natsu sat the plate down on the table and pulled out the chair for Lucy. Lucy took a shy seat in the chair Natsu held out for her. He pushed her in then sat across from her. Natsu dug in as Lucy was trying to find the right words to ask him her question.

"Hey ummm Natsu, was it.." Lucy said timidly as she looked at him.

Natsu flinched slightly at her uncertainty but stopped eating and looked at her. Her hair was a mess but he noticed a familiar red ribbon. It was one he got her one Christmas. He smiled and then noticed what she was wearing he blushed and looked away. "Ya Lucy..uh..what..what is it?"

"How did I get here? Where is here? I mean one moment we're at the guild hall partying the next thing I know I wake up here."

He tried to look at her to reply properly but two bouncing objects that moved slightly as she leaned forward, made him dart away from her again. "Well you see you drank to much and fell off the bar trying to dance with Canna and Levy. So I offered to take you to your old place. And well yeah.." He was unconsciously tasseling his locks.

"Oh ok so this is my place and the fall would explain why I hurt so much. But um Natsu.."

"Uh yes!?" He replied as his eyes wondered slightly back to her making his face go red as Erza's hair.

"How is it I still have a place? I mean how has it been paid for?''

"Oh um that was my doing I've been paying the rent on it for a while." He said smiling still red in the face looking at her.

Lucy got up on impulse and hugged the dragon slayer tightly. "Thank you Natsu I'd be out on the streets if not for you."

Now this was an awkward moment that made Happy snicker behind his half eaten fish. Natsu quickly pulled away from Lucy holding his nose. Lucy stared at him confusingly and a little hurt, and tilted her head questionably to Natsu. What'd she do wrong?

"Look Luce I appreciate the hug and all but can you please get some cloths on. It's kind of hard not to stare." He said still holding his nose.

Lucy looked down to only see herself in a pair of blue lacey underwear and matching bra. Her face slowly turned from dumbfounded to fiery red and looked at Natsu, quickly trying to cover herself with her arms.

"You were still drunk when I got you home, you complained you wee hot an took a page from Gray's book and well stripped and crashed on your bed. Uhn don't worry though I slept on the couch this time" He said defensively holding his hands in front of himself forcing a innocent smile.

Lucy was filled with embarrassment and anger and in a flash Natsu was sent flying across the room with one of her signature Lucy kicks.

"Natsu Dragneel your a pervert!" she yelled before storming back into the room slamming the door.

Happy was rolling on the table laughing as Natsu was attempting to sit up clutching his jaw. A small smile crossed his face, "That's my Lucy."
