"Urgh… my head…" I think as I wake up in my bed. I turn over so my head is facing the ceiling and my head starts to spin so I move my head back to it's original position. Maybe it's a bad idea to move today.
How much did I drink last night? It must have been a lot. My mind is reeling from the events of last night….but I don't remember getting home. Actually how did I get home? I remember talking to Laxus after the movie. Oh no. The talk with Laxus. I remember drinking the champagne afterwards like it was water. Not a good move. I remember standing with Natsu looking at all of the happy couples, feeling quite jealous…and then it goes blank. The last person I remember being with is Natsu. He must have taken me home safe.
Now that I have gathered my thoughts, with my eyes still closed, I do an inwards check. Head…spinning and sore. Throat…nothing a bit of water couldn't cure. Stomach….okay so far. Feet are sore from the damn heels I wore last night. Okay so body wise, I am okay. Mentally wise… minus not remembering how I got home it's all clear. I'm sure I was fine getting home. It feels like I am in a bed. Right. A bed is a good sign. It feels like the one in the hotel. Even better.
Right come on Lucy you can do this. Now you have to open your eyes. I groan inside as I mentally argue with myself to open my eyes. Before I even get a chance to, I hear a sigh next to me, a shift in my bed and something wrap around me…. Oh no. no. no! My stomach jolts in panic! Please be Juvia coming into my bed! Please be Juvia coming into bed! Please be Juvia coming into my bed!
I do the currently unthinkable and snap my eyes open. Okay. From first sight, I am facing a door of a hotel room. It looks like mine. Okay I must be in the hotel somewhere. I think this is my room but I am not sure. I turn my eyes around what I can see of the room and I don't see anything that belongs to me…this is not good. I inspect what I can of the thing that is wrapped around my waist before I turn over. Okay if this thing was going to kill me, it would do by now. I look under covers.
SHIT! I am NAKED! How the FUCK did I get naked last night! Oh no no NO! Please tell me that I didn't! Please tell me that I thought it would be a good idea to sleep naked since I was so tired to put on PJ's! I follow my body down and see an arm that doesn't belong to me. I inspect the hand. It is definitely not one of the girls! It looks like a man's hand! NO NO NO! Shit! I slept with a guy last night! Please no! I decide that I can not hold it off any longer, and despite my stomach and head threatening to bring up the dinner from last night, I turn my head and all I see is pink!
Who the….The only guy that I know that has pink hair is…NATSU! Oh My GOD! Please no! Please tell me I did not sleep with Natsu last night! Please tell me I did not sleep with Natsu last night! I force my arms to lift up the cover that is covering who I think is Natsu and there it is for all to see! This guy is officially naked! LUCY HEARTFILLIA YOU FUCKING IDIOT! I know that I have always wanted to be with Natsu in that way, but I wanted it at least to be REMEMBERABLE!
While I mentally freaking out in my head, I feel the arm wrapped around my waist pull me in tighter to his chest. I hear him sigh and murmur something I couldn't hear. I recognise the voice immediately! Shit it IS Natsu! I SLEPT with Natsu last night! I am currently naked with Natsu in what I'm guessing is his room and he is wrapped around me like a vine, his hot body heat radiating my back!
I couldn't keep it in any longer. I scream at the top of my lungs "NATSU!" causing him to wake up and almost fall off the bed.
"Holy fuck! Don't scream so loud I'm hungover ice-brain!" He is running is sore head and he opens his eyes and sees me.
"NANI!" He shouts while I grab the duvet covering what ever part of my body that I can! "What the hell are you doing in my bed!" He looks under the covers "Why am I naked!" He looks even further at me "Why are you naked! Did we? We didn't did we?" He shouts clearly freaking out.
I hide my face in my hands "I…I think we did Natsu. I don't remember. Keep your voice down!"
"Where's Gray? Ice-brain isn't here is here?" Natsu asks panicking and I start to panic too! I turn to look at Gray's bed. It is still empty and shows no sign of anyone staying in it last night! Oh no! That must mean that Juvia and Gray know. Natsu is sharing this room with him! They must have seen us when they came back! No no no NO NO NO! This is not right!
My eyes are wide open with horror "I don't think he came back last night Natsu." I glare back at Natsu in horror at the idea that we were caught sleeping in the same bed and we don't even remember it ourselves! That is going to go around all of us!
He mirrors exactly what I am feeling right now. "Shit! Please tell me you remember something of last night!"
"I don't no. I'm trying to remember but I've never been this drunk to not remember what happened the night before!"
"Neither have I. I've never had to wake up with a girl in my bed before not knowing how she got their either! Especially my nakama! Oh this is bad" He states running both of his hands to his head and pressing his head to his now upbeat knees.
Suddenly something clicks. "Shit we still haven't got any clothes on." I state. Natsu and I blush as we realise this trying our best not to look at each other.
"Umm… you close your eyes Lucy and I will put some pants on and pass you your clothes. You can change while I go into the bathroom." I nod as I shut my eyes, feeling Natsu get out of the bed and I hear the rustling of a suitcase and clothes as he gets dressed.
"Hold on. Do you mean that this is not your first time waking up with someone in your bed" I had to ask
"Well.. truth be told, I haven't been with anyone in that way except my last girlfriend." Natsu explains as I hear the sound of a zipper from his trousers "Okay Luce. You can open now."
I open my eyes to see Natsu standing there still shirtless and in is trademark white trousers and overskirt that hug him in all of the right places and that are low down enough to show off the bottom of his six pack. I am for a second distracted by the amazing sight as I see Natsu hand me my clothes. Not really wanting to stop the conversation that we are having I start putting on my knickers and bra underneath the bed.
"What are you doing? I thought I would go into the bathroom to give you some privacy" Natsu says panicking again.
I chuckle. "It's okay Natsu. We need to finish this conversation and work out what happened last night and I think stopping so we can get dressed will just stop it all together." He just nods in response "So what do you remember of last night?"
Natsu sits down on the edge of the bed as I put my dress on over my head and stand up, quite ladylike considering the circumstances, and let it fall to the floor with grace. I am covered now respectfully so I sit on the side of the bed next to Natsu and something in my head clicks.
"I remember this position last night. We were sitting here last night….talking I think"
Natsu stares at the floor "Yes I remember. We were drinking aswell from the looks of it" He says picking up a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. I smell the glass and cough at the strong smell.
"Yep I remember the drink aswell. It was rather spicy as I recall."
Natsu smiles "Just as I like it. Any idea of what we talking about"
I start to shake my head but I try to think of what happened last night and what might be connected. "I remember crying. I was telling you something rather sad, or I was upset about something." I sit back on the bed and look at Natsu. Something else flashes in my head as some of the night comes back to me. "I was telling you why I created the band and what happened with myself and Laxus…..That's why I was crying."
Natsu nods his head "I remember that part of the conversation. You wanted to prove that you were better than your Father thought…..you were trying to get out of an arranged marriage and that's how you broke up with Laxus"
The rest of the conversation hit me like a wrecking ball "And you wanted to look for your adoptive Father….But hold on. How come you remember so much of the conversation, but not how we ended up in bed together"
"Talking to you was the last thing I remember about last night. I wasn't that smashed last night. I was tipsy yeah but not enough to cause this. It was drinking the whiskey that did it for me. I remember all of the conversation…..and I remember you gave me a kiss on the check to thank me for comforting you….and that's all I remember" Natsu explains.
There was a long pause between us as we try and work out what to say to each other next. "Then I guess that's how it happened" I put my head in my hands, propping my elbows on my knees. "I'm so sorry Natsu."
"What are you sorry for?" Natsu ask rubbing a hand on my back in small circles.
"For this. It's not like we are dating or anything are we? I'm not a one night stand kind of girl" I explain
"Neither am I. I date a girl at least before I sleep with her."
I nod again. I really don't know what to say to that. "So…. where do we go from here." I ask nervously. I really don't want to know the answer to the question but I have to answer it to know where we both stand.
Natsu pauses. "Well….. Would you object to going on a date with me?"
"Um…." My eyes turn wide with shock. Natsu is asking me out?
"Well I think of it this way. We slept together last night, so there must be something between us and you are my best friend….Maybe there is something more than that there?"
"….Okay" I answer shakily. I wouldn't want things to be awkward with Natsu, but he does have a point. If there is a chance to see if there really is something there, then hopefully last night might start something off.
"Really?" Natsu answers shocked.
I chuckle "Sure. Why not. I mean, If things don't work out we can always go back to being friends right?"
Natsu grins "Sure…friends" He sounds just as unsure as I am about the idea. Honestly I'm hoping that we stay more than friends after this, but I don't want to push my luck.
I stand up and pull my arms out for a hug "So for now….friends?"
Natsu grins again and folds into my hug. "Sure friends."
Natsu's mobile rings and both Natsu and I look at each puzzled. Who would want us today? We've all been given the day off. Natsu picks up the phone not bothering to check the name.
"Hello"
"YOU TWO BRATS BETTER GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" I can hear Makarov screaming down the other end of the phone, making Natsu move the receiver away from his ear.
"Gramps? What are you on about? What's happened?" Natsu asks calmly
"WELL GET YOURSELF AND THAT LUCY GIRL DOWN TO THE RESTAURANT FOR BREAKFAST NOW AND WE CAN DISCUSS IT!"
"Lucy? What-?" But Natsu doesn't get to finish his sentence as the line cuts off.
"Gramps wants to see up both down in the restaurant if you hadn't heard." Natsu tries to joke, but clearly showing signs of worry.
I try to change the subject "Gramps?" I thought Natsu said he had multiple parents, but he has never mentioned Makarov as his Grandpa before.
"He's not my Gramps. I just call him that since he is old enough to be my Grandpa. And as you can hear from the phone he is not happy. I have no idea what has happened but he is only like this when something REALLY bad has happened"
Both Natsu and I look at each other very concerned. What on earth could have happened?
