• Part 5 •

Another update for you all~!

I was a dork and while dying eggs I made one that said NaLu #shipped and I drew the Fairy Tail guild mark on another..

I also made one with the Tardis on it (yup I'm a Whovian)..

Anyway, with all those funzies aside, it seems Lucy has fallen for Natsu, unwillingly...

•*•*•*•~•*•*•*•5•*•*•*•~•*•*•*•

I was finally able to move around with less pain the next morning, and Natsu's treatment had definitely done what it was intended to do. I sat up and stared blankly at my phone, inside almost begging him to call me.

I shook away the thoughts for a moment and got up to shower and brush my hair and teeth. I unwrapped Natsu's handiwork after stripping and then I stepped into a warm shower. I stayed in longer than necessary and when I finally got out the water had started running cold.

I grabbed a towel and quickly dried myself and then walked into my room wearing the towel to find clothes. I picked a pair of jean shorts and a tank top to go beneath an off the shoulder black shirt.

After I pulled on the sweater a voice said, "You seem better."

I yelped in surprise and spun around to see and smirking Natsu. I was breathing heavily from the scare and I glared at him.

"You idiot! Don't just walk into a girl's room!" I yell at him.

"What? I did it before," he says innocently.

"That was different! You almost saw me naked!" I say the last part in a low hiss.

He grinned more at that and leaned in to whisper in my ear, "Maybe I wanted to see that."

I punch him in the chest and he steps back laughing softly. "I'm kidding Luce," he shakes his head. For some reason I felt heavy disappointment from that. I ran my hand through my hair and glanced at the idiot before me.

"Did you just come to check up on me?" I ask and drop my arm from my head and back to my side. I tucked my thumb in the pocket of my jean shorts.

"Yeah, and I came to pick you up. I'm taking you to start training again," he grins.

"Already? Jeez I just barely started feeling better..." I grumble.

"Exactly. We need to get you working your muscles again!" He tells me. I look at him with tired pleading eyes.

"Can we please take today off?" I beg. He looks at me sternly.

"Please! Just today...!" I look at him pleadingly. He holds the bridge of his nose and sighs.

"Yeah, sure. But today only." He remarks sharply. I nod earnestly. Then I grab my phone and take his hand before running outside with him.

"Why are you dragging me along?" He asks when I stop.

"You don't want to go with me? I mean, I'm just going to the store... I've missed out on some good food recently..." I murmur.

"I have work to do," he laughs and ruffles my hair making me pout. "I was going to bring you along."

I stare at him blankly. "Glad I'm going to the store!" I cheer suddenly, making him chuckle.

"Call me if you need me, okay Lucy?" He tells me seriously.

"Y-yeah...I know," I nod.

He murmurs something that I think is along the lines of, "I should just take her with me.."

"What was that?" I step closer. He looks up at me but shakes his head.

"Nothing. Anyway, I'm serious. One suspicious thing and you call me. Got it?" He meets my look with an intense one.

"Okay, I will..." I tell him and he gets in his car and drives off. I watch as his car disappears down the street, wishing I had gone with him.

"You made your choice, damn it." I curse to myself as I walk. After about twenty minutes I've made it to the store. I walk in and immediately grab a package of strawberries. Those things where addictive...

Then I pick up a box of cereal and some other odds and ends for the week. At the checkout I picked up a package of bubble gum and added it to my small pile. The woman scanned my things and I paid her before quickly grabbing my bags. I walked out of the store and regretted not checking the weather.

The sky was growing dark fast, and I could smell the rain that was going to come. "Crap! You have to be kidding me!" I strung a line of profanities while hurrying back. That's when the downpour came. I haunched my shoulder a bit and held my arm close to my body with the other. My hair was plastered to my neck and face, and it was freezing cold.

A few cars passed me but didn't stop thankfully. I kept hurrying, realizing I still had ten minutes left before I would get home. I looked around for somewhere to wait out the worst part but couldn't find any. Suddenly a jacket was tossed over my head and froze in fear. I turn and see Natsu, standing there in a black t-shirt and jeans, casually standing there looking at me with an amused smirk.

"W-what are you..." I stammer my words.

"I knew you would get caught out in the rain like this," he raised an eyebrow. "You really are a mess Lucy."

I grew red and I turned my head from him. "Shut up..." I grumble. He put his hand on my head and then moved it to my shoulder and pulled me to him. I squeaked in surprise as he started walking with me.

"You don't have to do this..." I tell him softly. I look up at him from the corner of my eyes.

"I can't let you go home alone in weather like this," he comments, unphased.

"But you're getting soaked!" I protest. He shrugs. We reach my house and I quickly let us in, only to realize we where very much alone. I sigh and set my bag of groceries on the kitchen counter after handing Nastu his jacket.

"If you want to take a shower you can. And you can borrow some of my dad's old clothes," I tell him.

"I'll be fine. Only my shirt got soaked really," he says and as I turn I see him pulling his t-shirt over his head. I sigh and quickly grab it from him.

"Hey-" he starts to protest but I press a finger to his lips.

"I'm going to hang it up to dry. I will be back in a minute," I tell him before racing upstairs. I get into my room and I throw his shirt on my bed and then strip myself. I grab new undergarments and then I pull on a tank top with "Fairy Love" on it and a pair of skinny jeans.

I hang my clothes and Natsu's shirt up before heading back downstairs to see him half asleep on the couch. I smile and sit next to him, turning on the TV and looking for something good to watch. When nothing caught my eye I looked through our movies and settled with my favorite movie as a child, called Dragon Legend.

It was about a princess who as a child met a little boy who was a dragon. But their races where at war so they could only meet in secret every few years. But then the Princess's mother was killed by a dragon and she grew angry and for years kept away the dragons with her magic...until she decided to meet with her dragon friend, now the dragon king, one last time. The end was beautiful because they ended up pushing a side their differences again.

I fell asleep partway through the movie, and when my eyes peaked open again I was in Natsu's lap, curled up and covered by a blanket. My breathing caught for a moment and I shifted slightly to see that he was still asleep. I gently began to move off of his lap but his arm gently wrapped around me so I was trapped.

I sighed and leaned my head against his arm again. I'd enjoy this while I had it.
