The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 19

•Lucy's POV•

Natsu has still not set me down. I have asked him countless of times to put me down, but he refuses. I've even told him I was okay now, yet he still refuses. Right now I am laying bridal style in Natsu's arms while he talks with his father. Igneel is giving me an amused looks here and there, and I will so get revenge. I just don't understand why Natsu will not let me stand, I am perfectly cable of doing so! I even tried to hit him, he pinned me against his chest. It's kind of a good thing though because I was blushing like crazy, wouldn't want Happy to notice.

The more I tried to hide myself in his arms, the more I took notice of how much muscle he truly had. I could feel how ripped he was, well because I was pressed against him. How in the world did he get so built? I wanted to touch his abs, is that bad? Never in my life did I think I would fall this hard for any guy. Not only was it that his body that was amazing, but it was all of him.

Natsu was so happy all the time, and it made me happy. Natsu, from time to time, is quite funny, and he likes making puns a lot too. His smile was just so contagious, and I wanted to spend all my time with him. I have never felt this way about anyone else in my life, I was just so in love with him. Every moment I spend with Natsu, I fall deeper in love with him. I just need to know, did he feel the same way?

Natsu was one of the hardest people to read though. Sometimes he's like an open book, then the next moment he's hard to crack. Natsu has shared many deep things with me, and I with him. I just wish Natsu would tell me how he feels towards me, and maybe he'll be as scared as I am. I just wanted to hear him say those three big words, and no, not I love kale. That would be a nightmare if that happened.

Natsu was so warm too, you would think he would be normal temperature now that he's human. Well he's not exactly human either. Natsu has the qualities of a dragon even though he's not in dragon form. My eyes wandered up to Natsu's mouth, he was smiling. His teeth had little fangs, it was kind of cute. And his lips, they were a little chapped but looked also soft. I think I might have been staring for a bit too long, because Natsu was now looking down at me with a red face.

Why was he so red? Was he getting sick? Can Natsu even get sick? Maybe I'm too heavy for him, please let that not be what's happening. Natsu was just, staring at me. I looked over to Igneel and saw him holding in his laughter. What was so funny? Did I have something on my face?

"So are you two going to give me an answer?" Igneel asked with a light chuckle. Wait what? I don't remember him asking us anything. I guess I was so entranced by Natsu's lips that I spaced out, oh boy what's happening to me. I need to snap out of it! I mentally smacked myself for being an idiot, I need to pay attention more! All this romantic stuff is going to be the death of me.

"Can you say that again please?" Natsu and I said in unison. Igneel started to chuckle and put his hand onto Natsu's shoulder. Natsu started to sweat bullets, maybe he was sick. I really wanted him to stop sweating though, I was starting to stick to him. Natsu was also heating up, I didn't know he could do that.

"Did I hear you correctly?" Natsu asked nervously. What was so bad? Did he offer us some kale? Because that's the only bad thing I could think of right now. What could get Natsu to blush so much. Maybe Igneel was talking about something embarrassing and Natsu was just being a baby.

"When am I going to get some little babies from you two?" Igneel asked seriously. W-What? I was about to say something like "No Way!" until Natsu did something. Natsu dropped me right into the water. The water was so cold compared to Natsu, it was like a wakeup call. Igneel expected us to have babies!

Oh my god what the heck was I going to do? I need to stop thinking of things like this because it really distracts me from the task at hand. I was going to drown from staying underwater this long. I stood up quickly and gasped for air. I turned to see Igneel messing with Natsu's hair. Knuckle heads, flame brains, and dimwits. Natsu and Igneel were all of those things I just listed.
