Hey everyone! This is my first fic, so reviews would be appreciated!
The sunrise had just broke through the horizon, illuminating the town of Magnolia. The sun shining brightly onto a certain blonde mages apartment.
She stirred quietly as she heard a gentle purring sound coming from her right. She didn't take notice of the sound and pulled her covers over her once more. It was then that she realized- "Purring? In my bed?" her eyes shot open to reveal the small blue exceed cuddling into Lucy's chest.
This sight wasn't out of the unusual, she actually liked waking up to such a loving embrace. But what startled her was the movement she felt coming from a certain dragon slayers arm, as it wrapped around her curving body.
She felt her face turning the brightest possible colour of crimson and her heart began to beat faster. "Natsuuu.." she loved being in his arms, she found them warm and comforting. She turned her head ever to slightly to look at the salmon haired boy "wow.. Natsu you look so peaceful when you're not destroying everything.. its kind of cute!"
"wait.. did I say.. CUTE?!" the thought overwhelming her when the boy started to stir. By what must have been instinct, she brought her hand up to his cheek.
"oh my gosh, what am I doing?! Natsu is my partner! My best friend at that! but I cant help but feel this way..URGH!". Her eyes snapped back to Natsu, who was now looking at Lucy with a slight blush on his face. Panic suddenly came across her face as she realized what she was doing.
"Mornin' Luce!" He said with his signature toothy grin. Finally coming back to reality, she removed her hand and spoke in a quiet and nervous voice,
"G-good morning Natsu". - "GOD DAMN IT WHY AM I STUTTERING?!" she slapped herself mentally at this point.
- Natsu's POV-
I was having the best dream ever! Somehow I was fighting the ice princess (a.k.a. Grey) and I completely kicked his ass! The prize came as a surprise, it was being able to marry Lucy. Somehow this made me insanely happy to know that she would be mine and only mine forever.. She was my best friend after all!
Thats when I woke up to Luce cupping my cheek in her hand.. Why do I suddenly feel like my face is burning? What is this feeling?..
-Normal POV-
She quickly escaped from her bed, Happy still latching onto her chest finally woke to see that redness of her face.
"Lucyyyyy, do you have a fever? Your face is all red!" He said patting both of his blue paws on her cheeks.
"I- I'm fine happy!"She quickly turned to Natsu how was still looking at her "What would you like for breakfast?", she was trying her best to forget about what she had just done, and hoping that Natsu himself didn't notice her actions. Without letting the boy answer the question, she swiftly put Happy on her comfy bed and rushed to her kitchen.
Natsu was left conferring with Happy about what just happened- "Natsu, I think Lucy is ill.. Maybe we should get her some fish! That always makes me feel better!"
"Don't worry about Luce, Happy. She's being a weirdo like always!", he sprang up off the bed and went to investigate the mouthwatering smell coming from Lucy's kitchen.
His dragons smell didn't let him down, as he saw the big pile of pancakes that awaited him on the table. Licking his lips at the sight of the gorgeous food, he ran quickly to Lucy and hugging her from behind- "LUCE~! The food looks amazinggg~!" It was obvious he couldn't wait to eat it, but he couldn't help but notice the red flush that came over Lucy's face again.
-Lucy's POV-
I felt his well toned arms wrap around my waist and the butterflies started to fly in my stomach again! Why do I keeping feeling like this? I shouldn't be surprised because he always does things like this but-
"Lucy come on! Come eat with us!" My trail of thought was interrupted by Natsu pulling me along to the table to where the pancakes lay and Happy was waiting with eager eyes.
After breakfast, the three of us made our way to the guild. Natsu was talking about how he had a dream where he kicked Grey's ass, but then he suddenly went quiet.. this wasnt like Natsu.. it was like he just forget that I was there..
-Normal POV-
Just as Lucy was about to ask Natsu what was bothering him, Lucy heard a familiar voice call out from behind them.
"Natttsuuuuuuuu~!" The white haired mage came up from behind him and gave Natsu her biggest smile.
"Oh, Hey Lisanna!" Natsu returning the eye-to-eye smile. Lucy seemed to pick up on this sudden happiness that Natsu got whenever Lisanna was around. It was like all his thoughts didn't matter as soon as he spoke to Lisanna, he seemed so carefree.. Of course Lucy couldn't help but feel jealous, but she was Lisanna was Natsu's childhood friend so she tried not be bothered by the situation.
As they started walking towards the guild, Lucy slowed down to walk behind the white haired mage and the dragon slayer. Lucy was holding Happy in her arms as she watched the pair, laughing together..
"They seem so happy together.. its so obvious that he likes her.. so why do I feel so.. sad?" Lucy's face had a saddened expression, which Happy picked up on almost instantly. He remained quiet though, he could see what was giving her this displeasure- after all he wasn't as dense as Natsu was. Happy just snuggled into Lucy's arms, trying to give her some sort of comfort.
As they entered the guild, Happy flew over to Pantherlily and Charle waving to Lucy as he left her alone. She sneaked to the bar and took a seat, but the usual greeting that she had everyday wasn't there. Mira, the beautiful, radiant and stunning woman was staring loving at something.. this caught Lucy's interest, and as she turned around she realized what Mira was looking at.
