I don't know who, but someone brought alcohol to the ball, and I ended up drunk. Natsu -surprisingly- was perfectly sober. I was leaning against him, giggling. My new personality was bubblier than my former one.

"Naaat-suuuu!" I sung his name softly and spun around.

"I think it's time I take you back," Natsu eyes me as I spin.

"But why? I'm having -hic- so much fun!!" I protest with another giggle. He shakes his head and grabs my arm, waving to Erza as we leave.

"I wanna staaay!" I fight Natsu but in my state I wasn't strong enough to stand hardly.

"Jeez Luce..." Natsu sighs and picks me up.

"You're strong..." I say absentmindedly poking the muscles on his arm. He doesn't respond to me as I press down on them, fascinated. Natsu set me down at the car and I kept a strong hold on his arms.

"Hey! Natsu," I laugh. "I think you're really hot." Natsu sighed and pushed me in the car.

"And I think you're drunk," he shakes his head and buckles me in. I let out an exasperated sigh and lean back in the seat. Natsu got in and drove back to my house. When he got me out and helped me inside I keep grabbing a hold of him to keep him here.

"Lucy, I should go home," he sighs.

"But I want you to stay here, I need you~" I plead.

"Luce..." He groans and runs a hand through his hair.

"Pleaseee?" I lean closer to him and eventually lay my head against him, closing my eyes and starting to drift off.

"Okay, I'll stay," he finally relents.

"Thank you~!" I grin. He pushes me back gently.

"Now go get out of that dress," he orders.

"Are you trying to seduce me?" I ask in a teasing and giggly voice.

"No, Lucy. Now go," he shoos me away and I hurry to my room. I pull off the dress and accessories and lay them aside. I grab a pair of shorts and a flannel shirt before yanking them on and stumbling out of my room. Natsu gets up from the couch and catches me in my midst of swaying.

"I'll be right back," he whispers against my ear making me shiver. He comes back a few minutes later with some of my dad's old clothes on. I was sprawled across the cushions on the couch, my shirt half off and my hair a mess. I hear Natsu let out an annoyed sigh before lifting me to my feet. My shirt fell off in the process and I was left swaying before him in a bra and shorts.

He said nothing as he took me to my room and left me on my bed. I rolled around uncomfortably before getting up and stumbling to the couch where he was asleep. I sat down where his legs where and laid down to where my head was even with the top of his stomach. Natsu stirred and seemed confused for a moment before realizing I was with him.

"Lucy.." He breathed tiredly. I moan in response. He sits up and runs a hand through his hair.

"Get up, I'm taking you to bed, again," he laughs slightly. I let out a muffled groan, not wanting to move.

"Alright," Natsu sighed. "But can't say I didn't warn ya' mwahahaha," he laughs as he climbs over me and then lifts me off the couch and throws me over his shoulder.

"Natsu-!" I gasp as he carries me to my room. He looks back at me with a grin on his face.

"I warned you, didn't I?" He raises an amused eyebrow.

"You're such a tease," I pout, pushing out my lower lip.

"You're such a drunk," he fired back.

"But I'm a cute one~ haha!" I giggle triumphantly.

"But you where the one to call me hot," he reminds me and I wave it off with my hand.

"Psh, I was kidding," I stick my tongue out at him. He laughs more and shakes his head.

"Sure you were," he rolls his eyes.

"But you didn't deny me when I said I was cute," I point out and he sets me down. "So that means you think I'm cute~!" I sang as I flopped back down on my bed.

"Idiot..." Is all he mutters before pushing me aside and laying beside me. I eventually fall asleep, sprawled body and all. When I did wake up it was to semi-too bright light and a headache like no other, much to my dismay. I moaned softly as I sat up, my sound effects soft and involuntary.

Natsu was absent from the bed but his spot was ruffled indicating he had gotten up already, and not long ago at that. Right as I sat up, as if on cue, he poked his head in. He smiled when he saw me, an expression of amusement crossing his features.

"You look terrible," he snickers.

"Thanks for the compliment," I respond with ease.

"Your messy hair really makes your morning after hangover look complete," he backs away laughing like a maniac after I glare at him with intentions of death in my eyes. I managed to get myself on my feet and to the bathroom where I found some painkillers and took them to relive my headache. That's when I realized I was still shirtless and nearly fainted in embarrassment.

I grabbed my shirt from the floor when I made my way into the living room, quickly putting it on. I was buttoning it when Natsu set a plate and glass on the table. The glass held water and the plate had pancakes on it. I looked up at him surprised, watching him make himself a plate and fill a glass as well.

"You actually made food?" I ask in disbelief.

He shoots me a look and says, "Wow thanks Luce." To which I laugh and begin eating. I nod in approval, the food being delicious.

"You have done well," I say with an air of authority.

"Coming from a girl who's recovering from a hangover and spent last night as a total mess, that's funny," Natsu grins. I roll my eyes as I shake my head and continue to eat. Even though parts of last night where fuzzy I still wanted to know about the comment he made while we where dancing. I get up and place my dishes in the sink and Natsu stands and after cleaning finds his shoes.

"I'll be headed home, Wendy needs a ride to her archery lessons. I'll see you at school," Natsu waves and then walks out the door.

"See you," I say to a now empty house. I leaned on my arm and looked around my kitchen and living room.

"Damn," I mutter. "Dragneel, you're making it hard to hide the fact that I'm completely head over heels for you."
