Lucy groaned again in annoyance when she looked for the thousands time at the clock just to see that another hour passed. She was laying in her bed since half past 10 pm and now it was already 2 in the morning. She was annoyed, about herself.

How scared could you possibly be to not fall asleep? Oh yeah, right, damn scared.

And she was. She was so incredible smart to watch this stupid horro movie in the evening and now she had to think about it the whole time.

Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the pictures from the movie. How the blood covered the main characters body and how heads were ripped off. And she always thought she would stand right next to the scene, seeing everything in slow motion. It was horrible. Lucy actually never felt so scared in her life and now she had to fall asleep with those things on her mind.

How was she supposed to do that?

She tried a lot of things. Drinking a hot chocolate. Reading a book, Writing her story. But every time she laid back down the pictures from the movie appeared in her head.

The last try and if that wouldn't work, she would just stay awake for the rest of the night.

The teen pulled out her phone and started playing a game. After a good 10 minutes she got tired again and closed her eyes.

And just when she thought she could finally sleep, she heard a loud noise from the next room, just like one scene in the movie. Scared, Lucy curled herself up under the covers and started crying. Why did this had to happen to her?

There was still one thing she could do. She knew that normally he didn't sleep that long so he might be still awake. And even it was strange to ask something like that in the middle of the night she did it. She liked him after all very much and that would actually be a good opportunity to grow closer to him.

She started typing.

'Hey, Natsu. Maybe this is strange but... I watched a really scary movie and now I can't fall asleep... Can you... Well if it doesn't trouble you... Come over?'

She waited. She saw that he had been online 3 minutes ago. And she had sent the message 5 minutes ago. He should have seen it.

But he didn't answer.

Maybe she was to direct. Would he really do that? I mean, they were friends. Lucy met Natsu through Erza a few months ago. And she would lie if she would say that he wasn't affected to her. He had implied a lot of things in those months, making Lucy feel all hot around her heart.

But was this to much? Hesitantly she reached for her phone again.

'Natsu?'

Was she stupid? Why did she sent that? Now he would defiantly not answer. Groaning, she turned on her back again and stared at the ceiling.

Great...

It felt like hours since she wrote him. And he still haven't answered yet.

Lucy wanted to pull the covers over her head again and just force herself to sleep when her phone vibrated.

Fast, she turned around and read the message.

'Lucy, I'm in front of your door. Let me in.'

Lucy's eyes went wide at that little text she just received. He was here? In front of her door? So the reason why he did not answer was because he was busy coming here.

Her face was completely flushed at that. Who would do that in the middle of the night if it wasn't really important?

She snapped to that. Does that mean that she's important to him?

The knock on the door startled her a bit.

''Lucy? Come on, open the door.''

The girl gripped the door handle slightly and opened the door.

She was greeted with a bag full of snacks and a DVD, Natsu held up in the air, a big smile on his face.

Lucy couldn't hold back the few tears which left her eyes.

''Distraction's here.''

The girl sighed, leaning her head against his shoulder.

''You're the best.'' Her voice sounded soft in Natsu's ears. His grin only brightened after she said it.

''I know.''

He forced her inside and settled her on her couch. Then he filled all the snacks into bowls and started the DVD.

He picked a comedian movie to get Lucy on other thoughts. They laughed a lot during the movie, Lucy completely forgetting about the other movie she watched earlier.

To the end of the movie the two were still sitting on the couch. Lucy had leaned onto Natsu's shoulder, after the first 30 minutes of the movie, and he simply wrapped one arm around her giving her a feeling of safety.

''Thanks for coming here, Natsu.''

He looked down at her and saw her eyes fluttering a bit. He smiled a bit and leaned his head onto her's, his lips slightly brushing over her hair.

''No problem.''

He felt her nodding slowly when she finally gave in to her tiredness. Natsu wanted to move her carefully when he felt her getting more and more into the state of sleeping.

When he successfully stood up and had the girl in his arms, she snuggled up a bit to him and whispered against his chest.

''Please stay.''

Natsu's eyes softened at that. He had to admit that he found Lucy really cute and also very kind. Since Erza introduced her to him they spent a lot of time together and he was actually happy that she offered him to come over and now to even stay. Though it was due to her fear but if he was able to calm her down he would do that.

He laid her down carefully and leaned over her head. He kissed her forehead and whispered against her soft skin.

''Sure.''

Natsu took off his shoes and also laid down in her bed. The girl next to him was already fast asleep, so he just threw his arm over her middle and held her against his chest.

''Night, Lucy.''

He nuzzled his head into her hair, inhaling her sweet scent. Vanilla.

''Sweet dreams.''

Were his last words before he also fell into a dream world.
