Chapter 16
Lucy walked back to the living room and saw that Igneel was the only one present in the area.
"Excuse me" Lucy said in a polite voice to the man.
Igneel looked up at the girl and kindly asked, "What is it Lucy?"
"I was looking for Wendy's room. Do you mind telling me where it is?"
Igneel smiled and said "Go up the stairs and once you get to the top go left and it should be the door with a bunch of posters and her name on it"
"Thank you so much!" Lucy said graciously.
"No problem Lucy" Igneel said turning his head towards the T.V.
The girl followed Igneel's directions and went up the stairs until she reached the end of the left hall where there was a door full of posters from a boy band called "Blue Pegasus" and right in the middle was Wendy's name.
So this is what girls her age like? Lucy thought while scanning through the posters checking the 3 males out. They sure are hot, No wonder she likes them.
Lucy knocked on the door and waited for Wendy to answer. The door instantly opened revealing the blue haired girl. Wendy smiled brightened and said, "Lucy! I thought you were with Natsu?"
"Oh I'm done talking to him. I want to talk to you now" Lucy said smiling at the little girl.
"Really!?" the girl said in amazement.
"Of course! You are my friend after all"
Wendy squealed and grabbed the girls arm pulling her into her room.
"Wow, I love your room" Lucy said looking around the place.
The walls were painted sky blue and like her front door, there were posters of Blue Pegasus everywhere you turned. The little girl had a huge T.V and a wall where there were pictures of her and her family when they were young. She had a bed big enough for two people making Lucy glad there was room to sleep in.
The blonde made her way towards the wall with pictures looking at each one. A specific photograph however caught her eyes. It was of Natsu when he was a young child taking a bath completely butt naked. Lucy couldn't help but think how adorable that was and started to chuckle.
Wendy made her way next to the blonde to see what she was laughing about. She followed Lucy's gaze and saw that she was looking at the picture of Natsu as a baby.
"Do you want it Lucy?" Wendy said with a smile.
Lucy turned towards the little girl, "What?"
"Do you want the picture? I don't really need it. I got plenty of others."
Lucy was speechless, this could be useful for when I blackmail him, Lucy thought.
"Sure" the girl responded.
Wendy acquired the picture off her wall and handed it to Lucy.
"Make sure to take care of it, okay?" Wendy said kindly.
"Don't worry I will" Lucy said taking the picture from the little girls grasps. The blonde looked at it again and smiled at how cutely Natsu was smiling in this picture. He looked so innocent, what happened to him? Lucy thought.
"Oh Wendy, I got a question to ask you." Lucy said putting the picture in her pocket.
"What is it?" The girl questioned.
"I was wondering if I can spend the night in your room."
The little girl's eyes gleamed and grabbed both of Lucy's arms jumping up and down saying "Of course you can! Lucy's sleeping over! This is going to be so much fun!" Wendy said enthusiastically
"Hey, don't get too excited now, it's still a school night! Plus I still need to ask your parents" Lucy said calming the girl down.
Wendy stopped jumping and looked at the blonde and said, "Oh right, I forgot about that."
Lucy laughed, "It's okay! We can still do many fun things!"
"I got a better idea! How about you spend the night on Friday also!" Wendy said eagerly.
Lucy thought about it, and couldn't bring herself to decline the offer from Wendy's pure smile so all she could do was agree.
"Okay, I'll come over Friday also" Lucy said softly.
"Alright! Can't wait for Friday! Let's go ask my parents for permission" Wendy said dragging Lucy out the door.
"W-wait slow down!" Lucy yelped.

The two girls were now sitting on the couch across from Igneel and Grandine while Wendy was asking her parents if Lucy can stay the night.
"It's okay Wendy, I can ask your parents myself" Lucy said to the blue haired girl. Wendy just responded with a nod making Lucy turn towards Natsu and Wendy's parents.
"I was wondering if I can stay the night, just for today and possibly Friday" Lucy said nervously.
Grandine smiled and turned towards Igneel responding in a nod and also a kind smile.
"Of course you can Lucy! You are now always welcomed in this house" Grandine said to the blonde.
"I agree with my wife, you kind of grew on us for the last 40 minutes you've been here" Igneel said in a joking manner making the blonde and Wendy laugh.
"Thank you so much! I promise this will be the only time I would do this!" Lucy said
"Oh I hope it isn't the last time because I would love to get to know you better, you look like such a sweet girl" Grandine said
"Oh trust me, she's not sweet" a male voice interrupted.
Everyone turned towards where the voice came from and realized it was just Natsu going into the kitchen.
"What are you talking about? Lucy is sweet!" Wendy said to her older brother.
"Hell no, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing" Natsu said coming out with an apple in hand and taking a seat right next to Lucy. "Isn't that right?" the pink haired boy said, taking a bite out of his apple while staring at Lucy's vicious glare.
"Jeez boy, what did you do that would make her give you such a nasty look" Igneel said laughing at Natsu and Lucy's stare off. Grandine was also trying to contain her laughter.
"I'm pretty sure he was annoying the poor girl, he gets that from you" Grandine said smacking Igneel's arm. The man flinched at her touch and rubbed his arm up and down.
"Yea, not even going to argue there" the man said nervously.
"Anyways, It's getting late and about time for us to head to bed" Grandine said standing up from the arm chair. Igneel did the same and grabbed his wife's hand.
"Good night kids. Goodnight Lucy" Grandine said making her way to her bedroom with Igneel right behind her.
"Goodnight" the three responded in unison.
"Hey Lucy, want to watch a movie here? We can make popcorn" Wendy said.
"Sure, and do you have any clothes that would probably fit me? I really want to sleep in something comfortable and I am too lazy to go walking to my house to pick up extra clothes" the blonde said to the girl.
Wendy started thinking of what type of clothes would fit Lucy and came to a solution that she didn't have anything that would fit the curvy girl.
"No sorry Lucy, We should probably go to your house anyway. I'll come with you if you want."
Lucy didn't respond because they were interrupted by a certain salmon head boy listening to their conversation.
"Just wear one of my shirts" Natsu said crossing his arms over his bared chest.
Lucy and Wendy both turned towards him. "Your shirt? No thanks." Lucy said ignoring the boy.
Natsu smirked and said, "You won't be able to get out of this house anyways."
"And why the hell not?" Lucy responded
Natsu brought a hand up holding three fingers high and counted down "3….2… and 1"
It was then that the house made a beeping noise making Lucy question what was going on.
"What was that?" Lucy said looking around the place.
"That my dear Lucy is a security system that turns on at exactly 8:00 p.m. and if anyone tries to get out it will trigger a loud alarm that would wake even the heaviest sleeper in this planet." Natsu said
Lucy wide eyed and stared at the front door realizing that she should have thought this through.
"So, still want to head out?" Natsu said eyeing the girl with a grin.
Lucy glared at him and turned saying, "You probably snuck out so much that your parents had no trust in you anymore"
"Yea, you're right. But I'm not the only one whose snuck out also, right Wendy" Natsu said glancing towards a blushing Wendy.
"I don't know what you're talking about" the blue haired girl said standing up from her seat and heading towards the kitchen to start making the snacks.
Lucy sighed and said, "I have no other choice. Natsu, lend me one of your shirts."
"What was that?" Natsu said leaning on the edge of the seat
Lucy turned towards the boy saying, "I'm not going to say it again"
"Wow look at the time, gotta go to bed, see ya" Natsu said standing up from his seat and walking towards the stairs where his room was located.
Lucy stood up and grabbed Natsu's hand making him halt and turn around facing the girl.
"I said lend me one of your shirts Natsu, please" Lucy said blushing and avoiding Natsu's eyes.
The salmon head boy simpered at the blondes actions and said, "Alright, I'll go get you a shirt."
Lucy let Natsu's hand go and followed him to his room.

"Are you sure this would even fit me?" Lucy said holding Natsu's plain black shirt up.
"Yes, I already told you that it would fit you like a night gown" Natsu said with a sigh sitting on his bean bag chair.
Lucy hesitated but then gave in saying, "Fine, but if it's too short I'm going to need one of your boxers."
"Yea okay, just hurry up and change" Natsu replied.
Lucy went into the bathroom while Natsu waited for the girl so they can both go downstairs and watch the movie Wendy wanted to see.
Lucy took her clothes off and pulled on the black shirt that Natsu had given her. Instantly the blonde took a whiff of the clothing and quickly reminded her of the boy. It smells just like him. His cologne. Lucy thought while turned towards the mirror and saw thatthe shirt reached exactly at her mid thighs fitting her like a night gown. Should I ask for those boxers? I mean, I am just going to sleep after all. As long as I don't bend down or anything I should be okay. Lucy thought eyeing herself in the mirror. She was also nervous at how Natsu was going to react and waited a while longer before going out.
The girl finally had the courage to come out making Natsu turn towards the blonde saying, "Finally, I thought you-", the boy however didn't finish his sentence once he got a good look of Lucy.
Wow…., Natsu thought. He couldn't take his eyes off her, Natsu looked at every detail Lucy had, how his shirt hugged her figure causing her curves to be more noticeable and how her long legs were soft and creamy looking with goosebumps surrounding her body making it obvious that the girl was cold. How her hair was in a messy bun giving her the natural glowing look and her chocolate brown eyes that Natsu loved were the icing on top that completed the whole look. Beautiful, was the only word Natsu could comprehend at this moment.
Lucy felt uneasy at how Natsu was staring at her and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "Could you stop staring. You're making me feel weird." Lucy said with a blush.
Natsu however didn't listen to a word she said since he kept aweing the girl. The boy himself got a slight blush on his cheeks and brought a hand up to his face and said, "Yea uh, Wendy wanted to see a movie. So we should get going"
"Right" Lucy said heading out of Natsu's room and turned before going any further, "You coming too?" the girl asked.
Natsu tried to hide his blush by avoiding the blonde's eyes and said, "Yea I'll be down in a sec."
Lucy was puzzled at how Natsu was acting but didn't question him about it, instead she said "Okay" and headed downstairs.
Natsu let out a sigh and leaned back on his chair looking up at the ceiling. What the hell was that, I just blushed. I have never blushed before ever since that time with Lisanna, Natsu thought while bringing a hand over his forehead. Lucy, what are you doing to me? Whatever it is, it's working.
The boy got up and made his way downstairs where Wendy and Lucy were.
