LUCY DRAGNEEL

Help. Please help me...

Natsu's too hot, damn it.

"Luce, are you okay? Your face is so red--"

"Don't mind me!" I quickly exclaimed, putting another fork of spicy noodle in my mouth. I'm not a fan of spicy food. It was even my greatest enemy. But today, just to cover up my constant blushing like what the heck, I faced my enemy head on.

And goddamn it, I won't lose!

I dropped my gaze on my bowl of ramen to avoid Natsu's squinting eyes, probably getting suspicious of my actions. Heck, I couldn't understand myself, too!

He's topless in front of me, heating up the blood running through my veins. And I'm blaming it on myself for not remembering to do a laundry!! And now, he couldn't do anything but to display his body in front of me and walk around the house half-naked, because his last pair of clothes was needed to be saved for later.

Damn you, Lucy. I've gone through a lot the past days that the most important things I needed to do slipped out of my head! Do you think it's a valid reason?

"Sheesh. You shouldn't have cooked a spicy food if you couldn't handle it," he brought my attention on him again. But I almost spat the noodles in my mouth when I saw him already standing in front of me, displaying his sparkling abs.

I ignored him, putting another batch of noodles in my mouth. My tongue was like burning, the insides of my cheeks were on fire, making small tears gather in the corner of my eyes.

"What the hell are you doing? The food won't run. Take it slow," Natsu suddenly leaned forward, one hand planted on the table to support his weight, and attempted to reach for my face.

My eyes widened, face exploaded in so much heat as I stared at his wedding ring dangling on his bare chest, the silver chain around his neck made him sexier...

Curse echoed through my head as I pushed myself back to avoid his touch. Since my mouth was full, I only shook my head frantically to send him a warning. I grabbed the glass of cold water, swallowed the food, and gulped the liquid all down.

I wiped my lips with the back of my hand.

"L-Listen, Natsu. I'm fine, okay? My face is red because...because..." I looked out of the window to search for an answer, seeing the sun so lively up there. "...It's hot! Right! The weather is hot. The food is hot..."

My eyes blinked rapidly as I looked away, gulping in embarrassment as my eyebrows furrowed in confusion. What am I doing?

"U-Uh, I gotta go back washing our clothes!" I didn't wait for his response and just walked out of the house, mind was occupied by the phenomena happening to me.

I've noticed lately that I'm becoming weirder. And it all started after I went home from Fairy's Cafe last night...

I shut my eyes closed, approaching the large basins under the shade of a tree. Okay, calm down, Lucy. All you have to do is to ignore the fact that he's displaying his well-toned body. It should be a piece of cake...

...but damn it, that was for the version of me before these weird feelings appeared. Now, I couldn't focus if he's around dressed like that!

It's not my first time seeing men's body, since Sting was a swimmer and I was always with him whenever he had a competition. But this time...
