Chapter 50
Sensory Perception
Natsu moved carefully onto Lucy's bed, fully aware of her every gentle breath. Even as he settled his full weight onto the mattress it groaned loudly, causing him to freeze.
Seconds ticked by but Lucy didn't even twitch. With a small sigh of relief Natsu eased himself all the way on. He was now only a foot from Lucy's back. Closer then he'd been in over a week.
Now what?
Pulling the edge of the comforter up Natsu slithered under, careful to make as little movement as possible.
Her bed was as soft as he remembered and smelled like Lucy.
