Fairy Tail Camping (Nalu, Gale, Gruvia, Jerza, Miraxus, ect)

14: Can't Sleep

*Lucy's POV*

IN THE NIGHT: PART ONE

Finally, I can get out of this drenched death suit. I stay toward the right side of my tent, the door was broken on the left side. I really wish I would've packed more clothes and blankets, it wasn't any warmer in here than it was outside. I put on a cami, t-shirt, and my heaviest sweatshirt along with my thickest skinny jeans and as calmly as I could- sprint to the bins, throw all of my paintball stuff everywhere, and sprint back. I shove everything else back into my duffle-bag and sit criss-cross on my comforter.
"The day's turned to crap, so I mind as well just sleep it away..." I stand back up and try to wrap the door to my tent closed, it kinda works. Less of the rain comes in-it'll have to do for now. I curl up into the few blankets I have and shut my eyes tight.
Just fall asleep, just fall asleep, just fall asleep. My brain whispers over and over again. The rain fell harshly onto the roof, I wonder if lightning will strike the tent and kill me. I wonder if a Vulcan will attack the camp while we're sleeping and kill us all. I wonder if celestial spirits can have babies.
I WONDER IF LOKE AND ARIES WILL HAVE BABIES. I KNOW THEY HAVE A THING TOGETHER.
That would be weird though. Wait, could that even happen?! Oooo, what would they NAME THEIR KIDS?!?
I WANNA NAME A MUTANT LION-RAM BABY......

*time skip: 4 hours*

My brain comes into focus, my eyes are still shut. It must be the middle of the night. Or somewhere around that time at least. Rain softly taps the roof of the tent. I breath out. I'm so warm under my blankets. I didn't know I could generate this much heat. I pull my comforter closer, there's quite the amount of heat on my back. What..? I-I think there's something in my tent... I'm too... tired... My eyes flutter shut and I fall back asleep.

*time skip: 2 hours*

I come into focus again, its raining harder now, almost like a thunderstorm. I'm on my side, there's some sort of thing across my waist, and other things tangled around my legs. I hold my breath. Soft breathing sounds from behind me, gently blowing on my neck. I can feel the rising and falling of a chest up against my back. There's someone in here. I slowly move my elbow down and find what's around my torso, it's an arm. The things around my legs, other legs. I breathe slowly then hold my breath again. This person was so warm, so very, very, warm. I-I think I know who it is. Dear God. Wait, if this arm is here, where's his other arm..? I look up to see a wrist and fingers laying on my pillow right above my head. Okay good, there it is. I gently take in a deep breath, my back presses against his chest. His bare chest, god dammit, he's not wearing a shirt. The arm tightens around me and he takes a deep breath. His pink hair ruffling against the back of my head. I tense up. I only have so many blankets- that means, we're under one- together.
Why do I get into these situations?!
His arm moves again and his hand finds mine. He locks his fingers in between mine from the back of my hand. He pulls his arm back to have our hands resting by my stomach.
Oh no. Does he know I'm awake??
Just go to sleep, just go to sleep, just gO TO SLEEP! My brain screams at me. Wait! Shouldn't I get him to leave?? He's invading my space, and this is REALLY CLOSE. I look up at the door to my tent and it's fixed-it's fixed?!? No, I must be hallucinating, yeah this is just all my imagination. Natsu isn't actually in my tent snuggling with me in the middle of the night in the dark, keeping me warm when it's below forty degrees out......Who am I kidding, how could this be my imagination?!
Natsu takes a sharp breath in and moves closer to me, again tightening his grip around my waist. Our hands are still held tightly together. He sets his chin on my shoulder, breathing out.
Oh shit on shit oh shit
"Lucy....." He murmurs, his eyes still shut. He has his temple against mine, our faces REALLY CLOSE to each other.
I'm panicking, what am I gonna do?!? I can't wake him up! Should I just fall back asleep and hope he's gone by the time I wake up? Wait a second, how many times has he done this? It's the second time here. And this blasted camping trip lasts for a week and a half!! How many times at home?! Last time I checked I didn't get a new heater for my room. It had to have been him. Does he even know that this is happening? Well, I know one thing for sure, he likes me- a lot.
A cold breeze comes through the gaping hole in the door, so it is still broken. I was right. Then is this my imagination?? I shiver, the air coming in was freezing! And I was right in the direction of the door. Natsu takes a deep breath, slinks the hand from by my head under my side and clamps it to his other arm. Then he holds tight to my waist and turns his body to the opposite side, taking me with him. My eyes are wide. Holy crap. Does he normally do this??
"I'll... keep you.... warm." He slur whispers.
Oh god.
This is creepy.
Rustling sounds from outside of my tent.
Great, now what.
I lift my head up as much as I dare and wait.
The fabric of the door is pulled back revealing a clod of white and yellow hair.
"Mira?!? LAXUS?!?" I scream whisper as quietly as I can.
Mirajane pulls out her camera and immediately starts taking pictures. Laxus holds open the door and stares at Natsu and I.
Whyyyyyyyyyyy.
I have to crane my neck backwards to see them.
"Get out!!!" I whisper.
"20 points Nalu." Mira whispers over and over again. She pockets her camera and goes to stand by Laxus.
"Do it now." She whispers to him, giving me a wicked smile.
Laxus uses his Lightning DragonSlayer magic, and makes a huge bolt of lightning strike somewhere off in the distance. I see the flash and start to panic.
They're trying to wake him up!!!!
I give both of them the finger and slam back into my pillow, cover my ears, and brace for impact.
The thunder sounds realLY LOUDLY. I jump, my body jerking against Natsu.
DONT WAKE UP. PLEASE DONT WAKE UP.
He tenses, I feel him lift his head.
Shut your eyes!!!
I clamp them shut and pray he doesn't know I'm awake. He takes his arm from my side and wipes the hair from my face, and readjusts the blanket so that it's covering both of my bent knees. He puts his arm back with his other one and lays his head back on the pillow.
"I'll keep you safe." He whispers into my ear.
I have to wait and sustain ALL of my willpower to stay conscious until he falls back asleep.
Thunder sounds several more times.
I swear I"ll kill those two.
Not only that, but Natsu decides to grab my knees and waist and pull me towards him, flipping me over so that we're facing each other. He puts his forehead on mine and his hands intertwine with my arms. I have to unravel my knees and lie strait. He sets his legs on mine, keeping them warm.
I lie there with the most irritated and embarrassed face possible.
Finally I hear his gentle snores, and I can relax.
So now what.
I spend the time to look around the tent and notice all of the weird things about it, while I try to figure out what the heck I'm going to do.

*time skip: 10 minuets*

I'm done, screw this. I'm falling asleep regardless of the literal super-hot DragonSlayer thats holding my hands and sleeping face to face with me, in my tent. Good-bye world, Lucy Heartfillia is officially done.

*time skip: 10 minuets*

I can't sleep. I hear him breathing almost at a growl, his beefy arms and legs entangled around me. STILL SHIRTLESS. Although, it is quite nice to have an everlasting source of heat this close. I also like that he's holding me really tight, like he's trying to keep me safe and protect me. Plus that he sleeps shirtless, that's really nice. Oh! And that he's got a faint smile on his face like he's knows I'm here with him.
Oh no.
I think I have a crush.
On Natsu Dragneel.
