morning

Yesterday you blew your money on tops you know Natsu would never wear in public, dressing her up in her room till the pain in her head went away—leaving the both of you passed out before the sun started to rise. With heat summer so frequent her headaches were bound to get worse.

You woke up before her this morning, and a school wasn't where you were planning on going, not with Natsu all worn out.

Natsu's staring at you like you've got lobsters crawling out of your ears when you enter her room with not one but two plates.

"What did you do." Is her first question and you can do nothing but pause with a dramatic gasp to follow

"I bring you breakfast and that's the first thing you ask? How dare you" you flash her a sly smile as you lay down her pancakes.

Spoiler alert, you did not make them.

"You aren't dressed for school" she looks you up and down as you plop down next to her feet

"Correct" you say in a sing-song voice. You aren't usually cheerful in the morning, just about as coordinated as a drunk old man but todays different.

"Why?" She asks cautiously as

"Cause I'm not going" you swing your feet off the edge of her bed

"That's your work uniform"

"It is" you smirk at the way she narrows her eyes at you

"Damnit Y/N, just spit it out!"

"Yeah so I'm covering rent this month"

"What?!" Natsu nearly leaps out of her bed when she hears the suggestion you threw out.

Natsu's increase in headaches got you thinking.

She's done so much for you, gave you a place to stay, always supported you—you didn't want her to stress about school, and work.

"I saiiid I'll cover rent" you push her back into her sheets "you rest, get your shit together before you burn yourself out" you sigh "also look how cute my ponytail is! Ugh I love getting dressed up for work" it was the working part that was the most challenging but at least you looked cute.

"I'm not letting you do that!" She exclaims, blankets falling off her shoulders as she does "I'd never put that kinda pressure on you" she crosses her arms stubbornly

"Oh Natsu, sweet sweet Natsu..listen to yourself—the busted ass AC isn't doing your head any good" you say "you're a straight A student and the best fucking worker alive, take a break alright?" Natsu had eye bags deep enough to clear out every Victoria's Secret in the country

"I'm not doing that" she groans

"I expected you'd say that" with a woeful sigh you pull your phone out your purse, leaving your sickly friend baffled as you dial the number with your nails clicking against the screen.

"What?" She tilts her head like a lost dog as you bring the phone to your ear

"Kurooo!" You hum gleefully into the phone "Uh yeah, you can come on"
