Bad Dreams

It was another cold night when the dragon slayer shook the window ever so slightly to be able to creep inside the apartment. Not bothering to close his entrance, the salmon haired boy creeped along the cold floor boards afraid a certain blonde's ears might hear them creek. He felt a wave of excitement go through him at the thought that he was acting like a ninja. No, he was a ninja!

With this new idea, the fire eater quickly adjusted his white scarf around his head to make himself look the part. Oh how he wished Happy was here so see this! But, nooo his friend just had to fly off with Wendy and Freed on a mission as soon as he had learned Carla was coming along. Shaking off the memory with a shrug the boy continued on his journey along the vast apartment living room.

Luckily the door to the bedroom was slightly open making only a slight squeak when he came through. Going as fast as he could without making a sound the fire mage made it to the side of the blonde's bedside with a thick black pen in hand. It was poised right above the unsuspecting girl about to draw a crazy beard of some sort before Natsu's ears picked up a small whimper.

He lowered his tan arm away when he saw her small forehead scrunch up and her bangs messily slicked back. She looked scared and that only made him worried. Putting his scarf back correctly Natsu own forehead furrowed.

Concerned for his partner he dropped the pen fully and slightly shook her fragile shoulder, "Luce? You okay?"

She was still asleep. Though, he could easily tell she was having a nightmare. Of what he didn't know. The blonde's face contorted into pain and she started to toss and turn making the blankets around her bundle up. Not able to stand it anymore, Natsu was about to wake her up when a fragment of a sentence came out from her dry lips, "Don't"

That's all she said. Don't what? Was she dreaming about some bastard hurting her? That's it. His body started to heat up from his anger rising. He was waking her up right now before-

"Natsu..."

His name strained from her lips made his fire disappear just as quickly as it had come. Natsu was used to hearing her smile along with saying his name not it filled with so much pain. No, not just pain. There was desperation in her voice that chilled his very bones to think Lucy would use that on him. She was scared, sad, and desperate because of him. At least that's what it sounded like. Even if it was just a dream, Natsu couldn't bare the thought of why she would think he would do anything to harm her. His Luce.

Her arm snaked around his taking his thoughts away. She had stopped her stirring, yet there was still a frown that didn't look right on her. And, there was something wet sliding down along her fair skin. A tear.

"Don't leave... me"

There it was. His answer. He was leaving her in the nightmare, though it was worse because in reality he had left her also. Left her side for a year. Lucy had told him she was fine with it and she had forgiven him. She was always doing that. Forgiving people left and right no matter what. He never had wanted to be forgiven by her; he never wanted there to be a reason why she had to forgive him. Though here he was hurting her.

Natsu hadn't realized just how much hurt she had gone through. Fairy Tail had disbanded, Aquarius' key was broken, and he must've brought back memories of her father. Slowly, he slipped his arm out of hers when he saw her face become neutral. He couldn't be here right now, not after seeing how deep her wound was. With one last glance at the sleeping blonde, Natsu stepped away from the bed.

Forgetting about the prank, Natsu fled out the window with thoughts of a certain celestial mage.

Sunlight streaked out through the window making the blonde's eyes flutter open. Slowly, she sat up rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as best she could. She hadn't slept well, it must've just been one of those nights. With a slight groan, Lucy stretched her arms up only to proceed to get out of bed. Taking one step out she tripped, falling flat on her face with a loud splat. It was way to early for this.

Looking for the source that caused her to trip, the blonde's eyes fell on a black marker. The cap had disappeared leaving the marker dry and unusable. She hadn't remembered dropping anything? Picking up the marker, she stood up and headed for the trash can until a sudden thought reached her head.

Didn't Natsu and Happy always have a supply of markers to draw on the unsuspecting sleepers. The blonde remembered when they had drew a mustache on her-

With a gasp, she dropped the marker to go racing towards the bathroom while wildly touching her face as if her hands would tell her what they saw. If those two idiots had drew something on her again it would be their last act. The thought made a smile come across her lips at cleaning their toilet with their toothbrushes. Ha! That would show them not to mess with her!

A/N: Thanks for reading! Just in case there was any confusion, Lucy told Natsu about Aquarius' key braking when he saw the broken key and she sort of just broke down and told him. That was before this one-shot I made. Also, I sort of used the same scenario of when Happy and Natsu were going to do the same prank, but saw all the info Lucy had. And one last thing! I know this was really short, these are just ideas I have to jot down sort of thing. Okay, hope you like it and have a wonderful day, night, morning, or just whatever! :D
