Chapter 74

Sweet Spot

"Natsu."

Lucy's sweet voice drifted into Natsu's ear. Keeping his expression blank he stared silently up at the ceiling.

"Natsu!"

This time it was slightly louder but Natsu pretended he heard nothing. It wasn't hard, his lounging spot was soft and comfortable and he'd gotten very good at playing it cool.

"NATSU!"

Lucy was pretty much screaming at this point. With an exasperated sigh Natsu dragged himself up into the sitting position.

"What?" He drawled.

"Don't you 'what?' me," Lucy fumed, "If you're going to ignore me in my own house then don't do it while you're on my bed."
