Lucy pouted staring at her phone intensely that rested on her nightstand for the last five minutes before turning away concentrating back at the book in her lap.

'It's been awhile since I heard anything from him maybe I could..' She though laying back onto her back letting the book fall to the ground. 'No this is stupid, what has gotten into me?'

Her eye lid felt heavy as sleep began to slowly come over her but her phone began to buzz from her bedside waking her up once again.

"Natsu?" She whispered to herself grabing the cellular device before smiling happily reading the caller id. She answered without hesitation. "Hey."

"Hey Luce, missed me?" The voice on the other line asked somewhat tirely.

"Not in your dreams." The blonde snorted missing his cocky nature.

"Ouch that hurt a lot. Maybe I should ignore you for a while more, Looney."

"You've been ignoring me on purpose?!" Lucy asked abruptly sitting up with a scowl on her face.

"Funny how you didn't notice the name."

"Funny how you're an idiot."

She smiled at the sound of his chuckle but frown when a yawn came after it. "Are you tired or something?"

"A bit, I've been working overtime a lot lately." She heard him sigh from the other end of the line.

"Don't be so reckless, you need your sleep." Lucy exclaimed which only humored the man.

"Jeez Luce you sound like my dad." He commented.

"Well I'm glad I'm not him, I won't be able to survive a headache like you for 19 years."

"Aw Luce you think I'm that young? How flattering." Natsu joked chuckling. "I'm actually a solid 26."

"You could have fooled me. You act like a child."

"That's why you love meh Lucshe."

The blonde giggled happily into the phone. "Shut up."

"Anywho, how you been? Keeping those grades up as usual?" The pinkette asked nonchalantly.

"I'm been great, my grades are the same as always." She responded back curling up into a ball on her side. "How have you been?"

"Working my tail off." He answered with a sigh. She heard him move around before settling down somewhere.

"Are you going to sleep soon yet?" She asked with the pinkette invading her thoughts.

"Uh maybe, I have to see if my body let's me." He said pausing for a minute. "Shouldn't you be going to bed before it gets late? I know you have some morning classes that you need sleep for. I hope I didn't wake you up"

The blonde blushed at his thoughtful words before smiling even when she knew he couldn't see. "No you didn't wake me, I was struggling to sleep anyway."

"Maybe I should come over and put you to sleep." Natsu said in a raspy voice that made Lucy shiver in delight.

"How about you stay on the phone till I fall asleep." The blonde suggested. "It's more easy and less of a hassle."

"Whatever you want princess." Natsu said in the same voice. She heard more russling in the background until it was silent. "Well are you ready for bed firstly?"

"Um hold on." Lucy mumbled standing up and pulling back her comforter then settled herself in. She turned the lamp off that was the only source of light in the room. She plugged her phone up and curled back up with the device to her ear. "Now I am. Now you."

"Now me what?"

"Natsu~ you gotta get ready, you're suppose to sleep with me." Lucy pouted with a yawning escaping her lips.

"Aye princess Luce." He said with a laugh. She heard russling sounds once more before it settled down. "Ok I'm good here, now sleep."

"Don't tell me what to do." Lucy giggled when she heard the man let out a frustrated sigh.

"Oh my little Luce, you'll be the death of me I swear upon it." Natsu huffed.

"I don't belong to you." The blonde said imagining the goofy face he would have done by her comment alone.

She let out another yawn blinking her eyes a few times. On the other line she heard the man yawn as well before groaning tiredly.

"Go to sleep Luce or I'll go over and make sure you sleep." Natsu growled out. "I didn't agree for you to make me go to sleep."

"But-"

"Close your eyes." He commanded in a soothing matter.

Lucy grumbled a bit before doing as told. She listened to his soft breathing and slowly let herself get hypnotized by it.

"Night night Natsu~" She hummed drifting to sleep dreaming of the pinkette.

Natsu took a deep breath. "Night princess, I love you." The pinkette then drifted to sleep with a smile plastered on his face.
