Lucy laid back into her bed, as she thought about what Lisanna told her. She was still baffled that Natsu didn't have a girlfriend. Well, Lisanna did say he was clueless. She quietly laughed to herself. Surprisingly, Lucy had never had a boyfriend. Although, that doesn't mean she hasn't been asked out, because if she had a penny for every time she was asked out, she'd be rich! But, sadly she turned down all of the boys who did.
Lucy was fast asleep by this time, and time passed by, as it became 3:00am, her phone started to buzz. A sleepy Lucy patted around her nightstand for the buzzing device. She picked it up to see Natsu calling. For a split second she forgot that she had his number, but then quickly remembered Mira making them swap digits.
She put the device to her ear, answering it, as she walked outside her cabin quietly so she wouldn't wake Lisanna, or any of the campers.
"Hello?" She answered as her voice showed her sleepiness.
"Luce!" He called on the other end, sounding relived.
"What are you calling for at 3 am Natsu?" The blonde asked, sounding a bit irritated.
"Well, ya see, Cali, she's had a nightmare, and can't sleep with me or Gray, and I was thinking maybe you could take her to your cabin tonight, and let her sleep with you..." Natsu replied, this time, his voice was laced with hope.
Silence, and Lucy was thinking about what if this little girl didn't like her, or couldn't sleep, or what if she got Lucy in trouble. After a few minutes, Lucy sighed.
"...Fine..." She paused, "i'll be there in a few."
"Yes! Thanks Luce. You're a lifesaver!" And with that they hung up.
Lucy silently walked along the path of her cabin, to the center, and started to walk the pathway to Natsu's cabin. She made it there in less than 5 minutes. She walked over to the pink headed teenager, and younger girl.
"Thanks Luce." He smiled.
Lucy nodded to him, and bent down to be the same height as the girl. "Hi there." she said in a whisper. "I'm Lucy, what's your name?"
The girl looked about 7-8 and had long red hair and big brown eyes like Lucy's, but more of a lighter color.
"F-Flare..." The girl launched herself into Lucy's arms.
Lucy rubbed her head, and picked her up, "I'll return her to you in the morning kay?" She smiled, sleepily at Natsu.
Natsu nodded, and grinned sheepishly as he waved goodbye to Lucy.
The next morning, to Lucy's surprise; went pretty smooth. Her and Lisanna chatted, and then Lisanna asked about Flare, she had told her about the situation, but Lisanna wanted more detail.
"C'mon Luuuuucccyyy!" The white haired friend pouted crossing her arms.
"Lisanna, what I told you is exactly what happened, nothing else, there are no further details!" Lucy sighed in frustration.
Lucy would love to just leave and go talk to Erza or Natsu, but she couldn't because she and Lisanna had to keep watch over their group at the pool.
"Fine. I'll just ask Natsu." Lisanna blurted out.
"Fine. He's going to say the same thing!" Lucy yelled after her friend who was already walking to the pink haired teen watching his group as well.
Now Lucy was pouting, because they were talking longer than she expected.
She was watching the kids in her group swim, and play and laugh when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around to expect a bragging Lisanna on what Natsu told her, but instead was the said teen.
"N-Natsu?" She stuttered.
"Hey Luce!" He greeted sitting next to her.
"Where's Lisanna?" the blonde asked fiddling with her bracelets.
"Oh, she said she would watch my group, while I come talk to you."
"Oh.." She nodded.
"So, Lis told me that you didn't know how to swim...?" He raised his eyebrows and smirked.
"N-Natsu!" Lucy whined as she held her towel against her body. It was their break time, which was an hour, and Natsu asked if they could use the pool.
"Luce! Take of the towel and get it!" He called from the water.
Lucy felt heat come to her cheeks as she took off her towel, reveling a blue beach like patterned swimsuit.
She quickly walked to the steps of the low end of the pool, and sat on the steps.
"I'm so not going to do this." Lucy stubbornly said.
"Ah! Natsu!" Lucy screamed as she struggled to make her way through the water to Natsu, laughing as he held out his arms.
"It's okay Lucy!" He laughed as she finally reached him.
"Not okay. I swam to you like over 5 million time now. Are we done yet?" She asks.
"Sure. But we're coming here again tomorrow." he stated.
Lucy rolled her eyes at Natsu and smiled as she walked out of the water. "Thanks Natsu."
Natsu only grinned in success. He watched Lucy's hips sway back and forth as she walked. You could tell she was nervous about her body. Something Natsu wondered about when she didn't wanna take her towel off in front of him earlier. It made him feel bad. Because, well not lying, Lucy had an amazing body, but Natsu couldn't quite understand why she didn't think so, or why she was so nervous about it...
"SAY WHAT?!" Lisanna screamed as I answered to her asking 'Where were you and Natsu during break?'
"Yeah, I was nervous haha.." She nervously laughed as she walked to the front of her group to unlock the cabin doors.
"So, guys, get ready for bed, and get settled in okay?" Lisanna called to the children roaming in the cabin.
"Goodnight Lucy." Lisanna said from across the room from her bunk.
"Night Lis." She answered, while putting her hair up.
"Lucy, can I tell you something about Natsu..." Lisanna asked.
Lucy's eyebrows furrowed. "Sure.." She said anxiously as she heard Lisanna's footsteps come over to Lucy's bed.
Lisanna plopped herself onto Lucy's bed. "Well, since he was a childhood friend, I kinda wanted to let you know.."
