Kill Me, Kiss Me (StiCy/StiLu)

Chapter 6

Lucy was in the dark hallway again, and this time is was darker than the last time. No light at the end of the hallway, and she couldn't see a thing. Not even her own hand in front of her face.

She began to tremble. She did not like being alone in the creepy hallway. Suddenly the air became chilly and heavy. Like someone, or something, was on top of her, and that it was crushing her. She can't breathe. "Help! *cough* Stop!" She panted, breathless.

"Stop? I can't stop!" A voice said with urgency in its voice. "Let me in! I have to read your memory and tell you something!" The voice said. The weight increased, and Lucy fell to the ground, pinned by the weight. "Let me in! Let me in!" The voice insisted, growing louder and louder. It was basically shrieking incomprehensible words now, and it hurt Lucy's ears.

"Make it stop! Stop!" Lucy yelled, and begged. But the shrieking continued, until the weight was lifted suddenly and she felt like she was breathing for the first time. The oxygen felt like heaven. Then everything went gray and blurry and Lucy opened her eyes.

She mmm-ed for a second before getting up, but something was holding her down. She panicked. Was it the same weight as in her dream? But it only felt heavy on her waist. She looked down, and was annoyed to find Natsu's arm on her waist. She removed it, and it awakened Natsu.

"Why did you put your arm around m- WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED?!" Common sense finally kicked in, and she was horrified. Natsu rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "I was cold on the floor and you told me to sleep on the bed with you. You're warm, by the way." Natsu said the last sentence with a childish voice.

"I-I SAID NO SUCH THING!" Lucy yelled, getting red. "Yes you did~" Natsu said, still in a sleepy slits and sleepy voice. "I-I... Whatever! Get off!" Lucy hit Natsu with a pillow. What's with her and inviting men to sleep with her? Lucy reddened at the thought. That sounded gross.

Natsu immediately scrambled off the bed. "Okay okay!" Natsu said. "Hey Luce, do you have any food?"

Lucy rolled her eyes. Typical him.

After a grand breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and pudding, they were ready to go to the guild. "What should we tell them?" Lucy asked, worried. "What do you mean? Just tell them the truth." Natsu said nonchalantly. "But it's gonna be awkward later!" Lucy said, embarrassed. "It won't." Natsu said.

Lucy hesitated before opening the door, but Natsu just bursted right in. They were both covered in colorful confetti and deafening screams of congratulations in no time.

"Congratulations!"

"Congrats!"

"Happy engagement!"

"Did you do it?!"

The one who asked the last question was immediately smacked by Erza. Natsu went quiet and Lucy blushed more. Then Lucy went to Mira. "Congrats, Lucy! But ne, Lucy, I feel kinda disappointed." Mira said, leaning forward. "What is it?" Getting disappointed on the first day may bring bad luck. "I've always shipped you with Sting-kun. Now my ship is drowning." Mira said. "With Sting?" Lucy asked in bewilderment. "No way! I will never like that jerk!" Lucy exclaimed.

"'That jerk'? I thought you like him! You know, like, with all of that!" Mira said, gesturing to when they both fell in the river. Lucy became annoyed. "We're just friends back then." She said.
