Fairy Tail Furious

Chapter 6

Lucy sighed, waking up under the thick blankets and minty-smelling sheets that she recognized to be Natsu's scent. She felt warm, which wasn't common for Lucy to wake up to, and it felt wonderful. Usually, she would wake up freezing because a housemaid would have peeled the blankets off to wash them, leaving Lucy unprepared for the cold draft that always came in when they opened her bedroom door. She never got mad at the maids, really, but it still felt wonderful to wake up for the first time in a very, very warm bed.

It may just be her, but Lucy also thought Natsu's pillow was firm and comfortable. Something she could snuggle against and listen to the heartbeat and -

Wait.

Opening her brown eyes, Lucy came face-to-face with Natsu's snoring and dead-asleep head. His mouth was open, and a tiny bit of drool was trickling out of the corner (not on her, thank God) of his lips. His brow twitching when she sat up in the bed like a bullet, grabbing her shoe that was on the floor of the bed. She didn't hesitate to smack Natsu awake with asnork! with her shoe to his cheek, an old-fashioned glove slap with a shoe.

"Whadd'ya doin' in bed with me, you idiot!" Lucy shrieked as Natsu squirmed and fell off the other side of the bed. His head collided with the nightstand and the lamp wobbled, but Lucy didn't stop as she chucked her shoe at him and pulled the thick blanket around her. She wasn't sleeping with pants underneath Natsu's shirt, since it went down to her knees.

"What are you talking about?" Natsu whined and groggily sat up, rubbing his skull with his eyes closed. "This is the couch..."

"No it's not!" Lucy screamed at him, making him stiffen and open his eyes. Frowning, Natsu looked around and recognized his bedroom. "I thought you said you were taking the couch!"

"Oh, whoops," Natsu blinked and twitched under his eye. Looking up to the frantic woman, Natsu could see her trying to find something to whack him with again. "Ne, Luce, it's not what it looks like, 'kay? I must've slept walk last night - it usually happens after I get done with a race."

"What kind of excuse is that?" Lucy growled and scooched away when he climbed back up. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"I usually get motion sickness while I sleep after a race," Natsu sighed with an embarrassed blush on his face. "It's weird, I know, but I used to get sick really easily in the car as a kid. When I was little, the only way I could calm down and not puke was by snuggling someone; it basically turned into a habit when I sleep now, but I usually break into Gray's room or try to snuggle Gramps or Laxus. You're actually a lot more nicer when waking up compared to them."

"That's the most stupidest thing I've ever heard!" Lucy hissed when he grinned at her. "I could've sworn I locked the door, just incase!"

"So does Gray and everyone else, but I guess that doesn't stop me," Natsu shrugged with a chuckle. "Sorry about that, Lucy. I didn't mean to scare you, honestly."

Lucy sniffed and looked away, her cheeks bright red as she looked for her backpack to get pants. Natsu pulled it up for her and handed it to the blonde, who muttered a thanks and took it from him. He hopped off the bed and made his way out the bedroom, and Lucy nearly died when she finally realized that he was shirtless and walking around in his boxers; heat rushing to her face as she mentally cursed her friend and yanked sweatpants out. She dressed in a tank top and pulled Natsu's bed back in order, not sure if he would whine if she was discovered actually making his bed. Fixing her hair into a lazy bun, Lucy stepped out of the bedroom and found that the living room changed.

Changed, as in it was sort've clean.

"W-what..?" Lucy stammered looked up to see Natsu rolling the blanket on the couch and dropping the pillow atop of it. The pink haired man straightened and looked back, now wearing a white shirt and jeans.
