@mention a userMe: GRAY YOU HERE?
Gray: here.
Me: Good...
Gray: what we reading?..
Me: A NaLu fanfic.
Gray: *confused*
Me: ONTO THE READING! >:]

A cold breeze blew by and ruffled Natsu's salmon hair as he balanced on the edge of the sidewalk, taking in the way the night air calmed his heated locks and the water glistened under the light of the moon and stars. He didn't know why, but he had always loved looking up at the sky at night. It always had a calming affect on him. Perhaps it was the way the night air massaged his scalp, or maybe it was the blissful thought of growing wings and taking off into the sky, never to be tamed or caged.

Gray: Inside Flamebrains mind. -laughs-
Wait he's actually thinking..*serious*
Me: xD

He couldn't possibly figure out an equation like that. It made his head hurt just thinking about it. He let out a sigh as he walked the familiar path leading up to Lucy's apartment. He had been on a mission with Happy for a little over a week and he was dying to see how Lucy was doing the entire time.

Gray: Now there's the idiot I know..-laughs more-

They were originally going to go together but she caught a cold the night before and didn't feel well enough to get out of bed. He wasn't stupid, he knew what his feelings meant, he just didn't know what they really meant. Sure it was normal to feel protective over your friends, but was that all Lucy was? A friend?

Gray: oh things are getting real...*continues to read intently*

He didn't know why, but it felt wrong to label her as a friend like that. He shook his head to clear it of such conflicting thoughts. Happy would have teased him if he were here. Unfortunately, they were both dead tired when they got back so Natsu let Happy fall asleep in his hammock before he left for Lucy's apartment.

Gray: He's still thinking?...●-●
Me: shhh...xD

Speaking of sleep, he could really use some. Just thinking of Lucy's comfortable and warm bed made his eyes droopy. He secretly wondered if she sprayed some kind of perfume around her house before going to sleep, cause his house certainly didn't smell that good. Then again, he didn't smell like Lucy...

Gray: wait they sleep together?...@-@
Me: Mhm.😏 *says softly* he really is a perv.

He cooled down his flames for a moment before heating them back up again. It seemed silly but it sure felt good. It was like taking a bath in a tub full of ice just to snuggle into a heated blanket by a fire pit. In other words, it felt pretty good.

He didn't have time to be weird any longer; Lucy's apartment was already in view. He yawned as he climbed up and onto the window sill. Okay, so maybe he didn't have to really try in order to be weird, but whatever.

Gray: Ha lol.
Me: xD

He grinned at her sleeping form but frowned as he saw a tremble go through her body. She must have been cold, what with the open window combined with her weird taste in underwear. He blushed as he realized she was wearing only lacy underwear and a large white shirt.

Me: Kinky...
Gray: xD you said it.
Me: *fangirls*

He pursed his lips as another tremble ran through her body, forgetting the original reason he was there in the first place, he shut the window and climbed into her bed. He would warm it up a bit then leave. Yeah, that would be fine. But then again... her bed was awfully comfortable and it did have a homey feel to it... maybe staying a little while longer wouldn't hurt...

Gray: its getting hot in here so take off all your clothes...
Me: -laughs- What clothes Gray?😹
Gray: @-@

His inner conflict suddenly came to a halt as Lucy shivered and on instinct snuggled up to her main source of heat. In this case, her source of heat was Natsu who was becoming more and more flustered as the night progressed. She mumbled incoherent words as she moved her hands slowly up his chest and around his neck. He almost pushed her away but thought against it when she sighed and leaned her head into the crook of his neck.

Me: Kiss kiss kiss...
Gray: Do it...

She looked much happier than she did when he had first entered her apartment. He sighed loudly. She was gonna throw a fit when she woke up but... a smile suddenly spread across his face as he looked down at her peaceful expression. Maybe it was worth it after all. And with that thought in mind, he wrapped an arm around her waist and closed his eyes, an identical smile decorating both of their faces.

Gray: pfttt..Lucy? Throw a fit?..suuure.
Me: The Sarcasm is real today..😹😹
