"Happy get off."

A tired moan came from under the red mass of comforters with the said blue cat curled up on his master's head. The sound of a loud annoying ring tone sounded making the man moan even more in annoyance before reaching over on his night stand feeling around for whatever it could be. Once his hand felt the vibrating device he brought it to his ear not bothering to look at the caller id before answering it still feeling groggy.

"Hello."

"Natsu!" Was the urgent squeal of the only person in his heart.

He imeddiately woke up with his eyes shot wide open. Natsu instantly sat up with his cat leaping off his head to curl into his unoccupied pillow.

"Lucy what is it? Is something wrong?"

"I didn't know who too call and I didn't want to call the authorities, I still won't feel safe or.." The blonde stammered on speaking incoherently into the phone for the man to understand.

"Luce shh, calm down. I'm right here. Now talk to me, what's wrong?" Natsu sat on the edge of his bed soothing the girl the best he could.

"I felt someone staring into my window earlier about an hour or two ago, but when I went to check I saw nothing. And now I think someone just tried to break into my apartment from the window and door." Lucy whispered in a hush tone like she was being listened to. He could tell how shaken up she was by her heavy breathing and shaking voice.

"I'm on my way there Luce don't move or open the door, alright." Was his last words before he hung up then running around his room to grab his sneakers and car keys before rushing out the door with his heart pounding in his ears.

Natsu got into his truck and zoomed all the way to Lucy's apartment in the late hour of the night with the roads practically clear for him. When he parked his vehicle in the parking lot of the apartment complex, his head spun trying to search for any of his enemies little helpers that maybe lurcing if there were any. After his inspection he ran full force up the stairs to Lucy's door where he calmly called her to open the door for him. Natsu saw Lucy's appearance when the door flew open with the girl throwing herself at him on the verge of tears.

The blonde was dressed in her night clothes that consist of a tank top and night shorts. Her hair was sticking up and matted to her face from the tears that were visible due to her blood shot eyes. Natsu looked around the room to see evidence that she had originally camped out on the couch before he came with all the pillows and blankets he saw. The pinkette closed the door and told her to sit on the couch while he investigated the apartment.

He saw no one out the windows and no force of entry what so ever. Whatever Lucy might have seen or experience still has her shaken up.

"I see nothing Lucy." Natsu said seating himself on the coffee table in front of the couch. He laid a hand on her cheek and rubbed circles into it with his thumb to show her some sort of comfort. Lucy looked up at him with her lip quivering from fright still even with his presence. "W-why don't you come over to my house for a little while? Until we know your safe or until your comfortable to come back."

The blonde nodded her head thoughtfully before getting up with Natsu's help. Lucy walked into her bedroom and stuffed items she'd need for an over night stay plus other items to start her day. Natsu grabbed a sweater from her closet and placed it on her shoulders before grabbing her bag and holding Lucy's hand assisting her out the door of her apartment.

They got into the pinkette's truck and drove off to his house safely through the quiet night.

Once they reached the man's home, Lucy awed at the size of his house. When they got through the doors she was even more amazed by the appearance.

"Home sweet home." Natsu said with a smile.

He gestured toward the stairs he began to climb. Lucy noticed and rushed to follow after him. The pinkette lead her to the master bedroom to which he occupied a few hours before.

"You can sleep here but don't mind my cat if he ends up on you. He's a cuddler and likes to sleep onto of heads." Natsu told the girl who seated herself on the bed to examine the cat who was awoken by the open door and trotted to the girl rubbing his head on her thigh.

"Wait wait, where are you sleeping Natsu?" Lucy asked standing up holding the small cat like a baby, it made the pinkette weak in the heart seeing the scene unfold. "I don't want to rob you of your bed. Y-you have work and I know you'll need your sleep."

"I was gonna get comfortable on the couch. So don't worry your pretty little head." He said offering a friendly smile.

Lucy glared intensely at him as she began to circle the man before shoving him onto the bed and rushing off to lock the door.

"Lucy?"

Natsu looked at the blonde with wide eyes staring at the girl as she walked to the other side of the bed getting herself comfortable under the covers with the blue cat still curled up to her chest. Lucy yawned after settling down but stared up at the man who still was shocked by her actions.

"Aren't you going to sleep with me?" She asked in a way that almost sounded like a purr to the pinkette's ears.

Swallowing hard he settled himself into bed facing toward the ceiling. He cleared his throat and closed his eyes waiting for sleep to hit him. But the sudden weight on his chest bought him back to reality. Natsu opened one eye and saw Lucy's head was on his chest listening to his heart beat with Happy curled up between them. With a faint smile on his face, Natsu fell asleep more content then before.
