His eyes flitted underneath his delicate lids and unkempt eyelashes. Morbid whines could be heard from the masculine shifting uncomfortably in his sleep. A thick gleam of sweat coated his forehead making his pink tinted bangs fuse onto his damp skin. His mouth parted slightly in a snivel as he clutched the ridge of the hammock in his gaunt fist. The exceed who had arrived home less than twenty minutes ago observed the tormented dragon slayer from afar. He restlessly watched his best friend nap until nightmares began to plague his poor insecure mind. Now the exceed planned on getting someone to wake him and comfort the man.
But who would do that at three in the morning?
The exceed contemplated for a while before a dependable flaxen mage popped into his head. Of course Lucy would be impeccable for the situation! Before his captivity Natsu was going to profess his emotions to the spirit mage. Since he came back he hasn't mentioned his adoration for Lucy, but the feelings must still be there correct? Smirking the ingenious feline glided mutely to the ingress and opened the flap. He soared towards Lucy's apartment hoping the blonde left her window open.
Meanwhile Natsu Dragneel had awoken from his slumber and had made his way to the lavatory once again splashing his face with temperate water. His eyes held bags underneath his lids that shaded a deep mauve in color. Licking his ruddy tongue over his chapped jaws he studied himself in the glassy mirror. His strong jaw was now emaciated and his skin stretched over the skeleton of his once round cheeks. Despairingly he turned and left the confines of his restroom and staggered over to the chair that stuck out like a sore thumb from the table. He plopped down and rested the left side of his head on the table. Wearily he wished that the retentions fluctuating inside his brain would disappear without a trace and finally end. Oh how he wishes it would end! Let him disregard the memories of the past six years have left him with. If he could just escape that would be fine, please let the nightmare end! Ideas sprung into his dysfunctional mind and he came up with a plan.
It was all going to end tonight.
