Natsu heard a knock at his door. At first he thought that he misheard it and thought it was a noise caused from the wind outside.

He was wrong.

After some time he heard a second knock.

And a third one.

Groaning, he pushed the blanket away and left his bed. He knew who stood in front of the door. He was used to it. It happened the night before and the night before that night.

The group was staying at a hotel but they all had single rooms. No one was actually complaining about it. They just wanted to enjoy some days off and it wasn't that bad having no one else around when you're sleeping.

Well, that would be the normal case. But in Lucy's case it was different. She had every night a bad dream and the first night, Natsu just recognized that on coincidence when he left his room to get something to eat in the cafeteria. He passed her room and heard her crying, Thoughtful how he is, he knocked and asked if she was okay.

She let him in and cried the whole night in his arms. And now she would always pay him a visiti when she woke up due to her nightmares.

And tonight must have been a pretty bad one. When Natsu opened the door, Lucy was shaking. She stood in his door frame unsure if she was bothering him. She played with her nightgown and looked down to the ground. Her bangs covering her teary eyes.

Natsu sighed when she didn't say a word. ''Again?''

And Lucy couldn't do other then slightly jump forward and smashing her body against his, burying her head in his scarf which he apparently didn't take off before he went to bed.

Natsu eased at her touch in a second and pulled her closer, wrapping his strong arms around her shaking figure.

''That bad?''

He only heard Lucy sniffle. After some time she calmed a bit when Natsu started to run his hand gently through her hair.

They were still standing in the door frame. Natsu shifted a bit and pulled her on arms length.

''Wanna go sleeping?''

Lucy looked down again, ashamed that she was actually scared to go sleeping again.

''C-Can I... Stay here?''

Natsu smiled softly at her and walked a bit to the side, took her hand and pulled her inside of hi room. Then he closed the door and guided her to the bed.

She had been sleeping here yesterday as well so it wasn't really akward when they both laid down and faced each other.

''Sorry for causing you this trouble...''

''It's no trouble at all.''

Lucy smiled a bit and closed her eyes, snuggling a bit into his pillow. She was indeed tired.

But she always felt so safe with him, he was her partner after all and he would always look after her.

When Natsu was sure she fell asleep, he stroke over her cheek once. His eyes softened at the content sigh Lucy let go of.

He leaned in a bit closer and took her hand into his, letting her feel that she wasn't alone and that she could sleep safe and sound.
