Chapter 17
Lucy was freezing but she tried her best by acting normal walking around the room. She didn't want to be a bother to Wendy, she will however ask for a blanket once they sit to watch the movie.
The girl went through the kitchen door and found Wendy pouring a bag of popcorn into a bowl. "Want me to help with anything?" Lucy asked.
Wendy turned towards the blonde and said, "Yea, you can get us some sodas from the fridge and bring them to the living room while I take the popcorn."
"No problem" the girl said opening the fridge door making the cold air hit her skin resulting in all the hairs in her body to stand. The girl began to shiver as she took 3 sodas from the fridge. When Lucy turned she bumped right into someone and looked up to realize it was Natsu.
"Here, put this on" Natsu threw Lucy a sweater over her head and walked out the kitchen.
Lucy set the drinks down on the counter and saw that he had given her possibly one of his sweatshirts. The girl looked at it and began to smile to herself. It was then that she felt some eyes on her and turned to realize that the blue haired girl was the one staring at the blonde. Lucy began to blush and pulled the sweater over her head hoping that the girl would stop peering at her. That however didn't stop Wendy from smirking.
"What?" Lucy said
"Oh nothing, .all" Wendy said with a mischievous smile breaking the last part into syllables. Lucy just rolled her eyes and carried the cold drinks towards the living room where she found Natsu looking at a DVD case.
"What's that?" Lucy asked setting the drinks on the counter.
"A movie" Natsu said focusing on the back of the case.
"Wow, if you haven't told me that I sure wouldn't have figured that out". The blonde sarcastically said
The corners of Natsu's mouth lifted and he turned towards the blonde making Lucy blush. "Should've been more specific. You ask a question like that to a smart ass and you will get a smart ass reply you know"
"Okay then Natsu, What movie is it".
"Titanic?" Natsu said bringing the case up and looking at it with a puzzled expression.
"Titanic?! I love that movie!" Lucy gleamed while she bolted to the edge of her seat.
Natsu turned towards the blonde with a shocked looked at her sudden outburst. Lucy quickly regained her posture and stuck her hand in the pockets of the sweater fidgeting with her thumbs. Natsu chuckled and brought a hand up to his mouth to control his laughter. The blonde saw this and furrowed her brows getting ready to scold Natsu.
"Don't laugh!" Lucy said
As soon as Lucy said that Natsu burst out laughing causing the blonde to eventually join him also. When they finally steady themselves Natsu decided to ask the girl a question.
"So I'm guessing you've seen this movie?" Natsu said
"Of course! Who hasn't seen Titanic? It's the most popular romance movie of all time" The girl gleamed as she continued talking about the movie.
"I haven't seen it" Natsu said expressionless. As soon as those words left Natsu's mouth the girl jaw dropped making "O" shape. She couldn't believe what the salmon head boy has just said.
"What?" Natsu questioned the girl.
"You haven't seen Titanic. And you claim romance to be your favorite genre and YOU HAVENT SEEN TITANIC" Lucy said
"Well so-rry, I don't spend most of my time watching movies you know"
"Yea we're definitely watching this. You are going to sit through this whole movie and get ready to get your heart broken" Lucy said standing up and grabbing the case from Natsu. As if on cue Wendy walked in with a bowl of popcorn saying, "Alright, let's get this show started"

It has been a while since they started the movie and Lucy was already getting sleepy. She was sitting in between Natsu and Wendy. Lucy was slowly starting to close her eyes but quickly shot them up again. Damn it, stay awake Lucy. Stay awake, the girl thought with frustration. What she didn't notice however was Natsu was side eyeing her and silently laughing at the blondes actions of trying to keep herself up.
I don't know why she's trying so hard to stay awake, she should just go to bed. The boy thought.
Lucy eventually couldn't keep her eye lids open and instantly gave in to the drowsiness. The blondes head suddenly leaned on Natsu's shoulder making the boy fidget as soon as he felt her weight on him. He soon relaxed and looked at the blondes sleepy face, his eyes traced down to where her lips were located and stared at them with a temptation. All he was thinking was how soft and pink the girls lips looked and how he first felt them with his own when they kissed in their theatre arts class.
Natsu shook his head to try and get the thoughts out of his mind. He turned to where Wendy was seated and saw that she had fallen asleep as well. Natsu sigh and decided to crash also but first he had to take the girls to bed. Natsu took Wendy in his arms and carried her over to where her room was and laid her down on the bed covering her with a blanket. Before he left he kissed the top of her head and told her goodnight leaving the room and shutting the door closed.
Natsu carried Lucy bridal style and instantly the blondes arms wrapped around his neck. Natsu was shocked at her reflexes that he would've thought she was awake. He decided to take her to his room and laid her down on one side of his bed while Natsu went around to the other side. Instantly he shut his eyes until he dosed away in slumber.

Lucy mumbles and stirs as she wakes up but hasn't quite opened her eyes yet. She started shivering and moved closer to where the warmth was. She wrapped her arms around something that was familiar but the blonde didn't pay much attention to this all she wanted was more sleep. She instantly felt two strong arms wrap around her waist also holding her in a tight embrace. Lucy loved this, she didn't want to get up yet and the harder she tried to open her eyes, the more she drifted to sleep. So warm…. The blonde thought hugging tighter to whatever she was holding. Wait…. The girl started feeling what exactly she was grasping and realized that it was a chest, one with muscles. Since when does Wendy have a muscular body, Lucy thought while opening her eyes to realize that it was Natsu she was in bed with. Crap, crap, crap. We didn't do anything right? Fuck oh my god. Lucy thought with a panic checking to see if her clothes were still in place. She sighed a relief when she saw that she still had clothing on. Thank god. Okay, so how do I get myself out of this situation? The girl thought.
Lucy slowly moved one of Natsu's arm away from her waist and laid it down on one side. She went for the other one until the boy stirred in his sleep letting go of Lucy. The girl rapidly rose from the bed and as she got off her foot caught in the blanket making her trip and fall right into the floor with a loud thud. The noise quickly woke the salmon head boy up in confusion while Lucy stayed in floor hoping Natsu didn't see what had just occurred.
Shit, what do I do now? Lucy thought.
"Luce?" Natsu said looking around the room.
Lucy popped her head at the side of Natsu's bed making the boy turn towards her with uncertainty. "Heeeeeeey Natsu hehe" Lucy said with a nervous laugh.
"Uhhh Hi? What are you doing on the floor?" Natsu asked the girl. Lucy turned different shades of red after remembering what happened while he was asleep and quickly turned the tables on to him.
"What am I doing on the floor? How about you explain to me what I was doing in your room!" the girl said.
Natsu instantly choked back and shifted his gaze towards his clock, "Look at that! We're going to be late for school. Get dressed." The boy said getting up from his bed and walking towards his closet.
It was then that Lucy remembered she didn't bring her school uniform with her. "How much time do we have left?" Lucy said getting up from the floor
"Not a lot, I say 10 minutes" Natsu said through the closet door.
"Looks like I'm going to school with no uniform" Lucy said getting her clothes from yesterday and going to the bathroom to change.
"Don't tell me you forgot your clothes" Natsu said while getting out of the closet dressed and ready to go.
"It's not my fault. I wasn't planning on staying until SOMEONE had to force me too." Lucy said through the bathroom door.
"Yea yea, just skip class like you always do" Natsu said tying his shoes.
Lucy got out of the bathroom with what she was wearing yesterday with her hair brushed. "Easy for you to say. I got Erza and Jellal on my ass constantly now ever since I've been on detention with you."
"Oh detention. Forgot about that." Natsu said while scratching the back of his head.
"Let's go!" Lucy said sprinting out the room. Natsu got his jacket and followed behind her.

The two made it right on time, Lucy was currently taking deep breaths feeling like she could pass out at any second. Natsu however was staring at the girl with a grin looking as calm as ever. "Shut….. Up" Lucy said in between breaths.
"I didn't say anything" the boy said with a chuckle. Natsu turned and made his way to class waving the girl off saying "See you later Luce"
Lucy just stared at his back till he disappeared. "Wow I'm out of shape" The girl said finally catching her breath and walking off to her class.
"Yo blondie" a man said making Lucy stop in her tracks and look over her shoulder.
"Don't call me that. Its Lucy, got it?" The girl said glaring at a boy she's never seen before. Who is this dude? New student? He doesn't have a uniform though.
"I'll call you whatever I like" the boy said taking a few steps closer to the girl.
"The last time someone called me something other than my name they got sent to the hospital" Lucy said taking a step forward, "You willing to risk that?" the girl finished.
"And the last time someone threatened me they got sent to the hospital, are YOU willing to go there?" the boy retorted back.
This guy got guts, I'll give him that. Lucy thought with a glare. It was then that their stare off were interrupted by someone calling on the other person.
"Sting, why did you run off like that? I told you that we needed to report to the principal's office." A person Lucy has also never seen before walked towards the boy he called Sting. His hair was pitch black and covered one of his eyes, he was wearing dark jeans and a plain black shirt. Lucy had to admit, the boy was good looking, so was the blonde friend who started an argument with her but his crappy attitude was what made the girl realize he was a complete ass.
"Just wanted to know one of the students here, that's all" Sting said not once breaking eye contact with the blonde. The boy turned towards Lucy and gave her a look down and asked her, "Do you go to this school?"
"Maybe" Lucy said putting her hand in the pockets of her jacket.
"Sting! Rogue! Where did you two go?" a girl's voice echoed through the hall that Lucy clearly new who it belonged to.
"Well I love to stay and chat but I'm kind of in a hurry and don't want any more days added to my detention so c'ya" Lucy said turning around and sprinting down a hall.
The two looked at the blonde while she ran away from them both. "There you guys are! I was looking all over for you. It is a big school so I would've guessed you got lost." Erza said to the boys.
"Yea sorry, Sting wandered off so I had to look for him resulting in myself getting lost." Rogue replied.
"It's no problem, we should get going now the headmaster is waiting for you two." Erza said while turning and leading the way. Rogue put a hand on the blonde boy's shoulder saying "Let's go Sting."
"Yea, right behind you" Sting said tearing his eyes away from where he saw the blonde run off too.
I have a feeling this school is going to be interesting, Sting thought with a mischievous grin.
