A Small Collection of NaLu Chapter 4: Sleeping Positions, a fairy tail fanfic

Sleeping Positions

Lucy stepped out of her bathroom, her fluffy pink robe loosely hugging her body. She breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't taken a nice bath for a whole three days! Natsu, Happy, and her had gone on a mission by themselves to a deserted town. It was annoying to find that there was no running water anywhere. For the first time, Lucy had actually wanted Juvia with her.

"All alone in my house!" she sang quietly. Suddenly, Lucy heard a crash coming from her kitchen. "Oh no," she thought grumpily. She turned and ran over to her kitchen prepared to yell at Natsu and Happy for busting into her apartment again.

Around the corner was none other than the pink-haired fire freak. Lucy narrowed her eyes. "Hiya Lucy!" Natsu smiled, his mouth full of food. Lucy sighed, normally, she would yell at him, but lately, he had been acting strange and she liked it. She already knew that she had a crush on him, but it had been getting worse. Natsu had been asking her strange questions like, "Do you find it weird that I think of you every time I use the pillow?" Lucy had gotten him a black pillow with red flames on it for Christmas and he was ecstatic. She was happy too, but not for the same reasons. It made her feel all fuzzy and warm inside to know that he was noticing stuff like that. She shook her head, his face was too adorable to resist.

"Hey Natsu. Whatcha doing here?" she asked, putting her hands on her hips, abruptly aware that she was still in her bathrobe. His dark eyes began to wander her body, but he stopped. This caused Lucy to be a little self-conscious.

"Not much, just stopped by for a bite to eat, it's raining and the guildhall is too far," he whined. Lucy giggled. His house was actually closer to the guildhall than her house, but he loved to stop by. She raised an eyebrow, and Natsu stopped mid bite. "Fine, I wanted a bath, I don't like the bathhouse," he sighed. Lucy rolled her eyes.

"You can go take a bath, I don't care. You probably smell bad anyway." Natsu blushed a little and ran over to the bathroom. She then turned around to stare at the blue cat still eating away at all of her food. "I have to eat too!" she yelled.

Lucy yawned.

Natsu was still in the bathroom, but Lucy had eaten and changed into her pajamas. She sat on her bed, waiting to figure out where Natsu would sleep tonight. Most of the time, Natsu and Happy took the bed, but Lucy was ready and had already claimed it. The couch was the only place left for the other two.

Happy flew into the room with a loud yelp. "No! Natsu! Lucy stole the bed! Where am I supposed to get my beauty sleep now?" Lucy pointed to the door.

"The couch, go, now." Happy slowly fell to the ground with a plop. The blond giggled. Suddenly, the bathroom door flew open. Natsu ran out wearing nothing but a pink bathrobe. "Hey!" Lucy yelped. "That's mine!"

"I know!" Natsu yelled as he came closer to the bed. He jumped onto the bed and Lucy flew up. She screamed in surprise. Happy quickly caught the girl as she fell.

"Natsu!" Lucy yelled. And just like that, she had lost her bed. She let out a sigh as Happy put her down. Natsu stripped down int The Exceed went to go turn out the lights. "Are we all sleeping in here?" she asked.

Natsu shrugged, "I don't see why not." He grinned. "Team bonding!"

"Aye!" Happy raised a paw. The dragonslayer scooped Lucy off her feet and took her to the bed. The cat dropped in as Natsu pulled the sheets up and over Lucy's shoulder. Her mind was buzzing with thoughts.

In less than ten minutes, Happy was out cold. The two could hear his even breathing and Natsu could feel the steady rise and fall of the tom-cat's chest on his pillow. He could also hear Lucy shivering. Like he always did, Happy turned the heat down because Natsu warmed up the whole room. Natsu turned to Lucy and whispered, "Are you cold?"

"Yeah," she breathed. "Why?" She let out another shiver as Natsu reached out to touch her.

"Happy turns down the heating in the room because of me. But I normally squeeze the life out of him." Lucy gave a soft chuckle. "Come here." The female wizard froze.

"For you to squeeze the life out of me? No way." She shook her head.

"We can try a different position," Natsu suggested. Lucy blinked slowly, feeling a familiar heat rise to her face.

"Why not, I've heard touch is relaxing," she responded as Natsu pulled her closer. Her breathing quickened.

"What do you want to try first?" the pink-haired boy asked. Lucy felt the tips of her ears heat up. He was suggesting "couples sleeping positions." Luckily, she had already read up on those. She fully blamed Erza and her "suggestive reading selections."

"I've heard of something where two people do this," she snuggled up against Natsu's chest. He gasped at her move. It was a little uncomfortable, but Natsu seemed to know just what to do. His legs nudged hers into a fetal position and he wrapped himself around her. She was totally aware of the way they were touching, but the warmth was too much to resist. "A-Are you okay?" Lucy asked slowly. He nodded.

"Yeah, I agree, it's just... different," Lucy whispered. This was really cool, but something was missing.

"Hey Lucy?" Natsu's voice had a different tone to it. It had deepened to a lower pitch and grown more husky. She liked it. "Where am I supposed to put my hands?" Lucy laughed a little.

"Try this." She raised one of his arms and placed it under her head, tucked backwards so her head wasn't restricting blood-flow to his hand. His head was dangerously close to her neck and she could feel his breathing moving her hair.

"I think I know what to do with the other one." Natsu slid his other arm across her side. She let out a small gasp. "Hey wait," he paused. "Can I put my hand here?" His arm went even further and slid under her belly.

"Yeah," she breathed. Now this was truly relaxing. Their feet were resting upon each other, their legs were tangled together, her back and his chest were sandwiched together, and his arms wrapped comfortingly around her body. His breath continued to tickle her neck.

Lucy's eyes began to close. The warmth was addicting, she could get used to this. Her thin nightgown did nothing to protect her from the elements.

If only Natsu knew what Lucy really liked about him...

OH MY GOODNESS I'M SO LAZY! Ugh! I'm so so so so so so so sorry everyone! I couldn't say sorry enough. I wasn't even all that busy! Well, what's done is done. If anyone out there still sees this, I hope you liked it! Whatever, I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!
