Chapter 51
Plausible Deniability
Deciding to be daring Natsu edged a little closer to Lucy's sleeping form.
Close but not touching.
This way when Lucy woke up the next morning and found him, he would have a chance at talking his way out of a beating…He hoped.
Suddenly a small pair of arms twined around his chest causing him to freeze. He looked down to find himself staring at a slightly scruffy mass of blonde hair.
Natsu momentarily contemplated untangling himself from her grasp but decided against it.
If he was going to die tomorrow this was a hell of a way to go.
