The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 26

•Lucy's POV•

"Waiting's really boring Luce." Natsu sighed. He was right. The four of us have been sitting here on the floor for about ten minutes now. Why hasn't anyone woken up yet? They must have been really worn out from last night because we were outside all of yesterday. But they got some sleep, so I don't see why they're so tired.

"You would think Gajeel would've freaked out by now." I groaned. Everyone nodded along with me. Maybe Lily and Levy thought it would be best not to tell him he's missing an eyebrow. Who even has metal eyebrows? Oh yeah Gajeel the big metal idiot dragon does.

"Well Wendy did hit Jellal with a book," Romeo snickered. "So he probably won't wake up for a while." Natsu and I quickly turned to Wendy and stared at her. Wendy did that? No way! I just don't see Wendy hurting anybody, not even a fly. I guess I stand corrected don't I?

"She doesn't look like the violent type." Natsu whispered in my ear. Wendy gasped, and I think she heard Natsu. I hope she knows Natsu is just messing with her. Natsu would never say anything mean towards Wendy... I think.

"We should keep an eye on her for sure." I whispered back. Natsu winked at me as he nodded with one finger on his chin.

"I didn't do it on purpose!" Wendy bawled. Natsu and I started to laugh as Wendy fidgeted with the hem of her dress. Oh Wendy was just too fun to tease. Romeo held Wendy by the shoulders and mouthed something to us. I think he said "we're monsters." How could he say that! I guess our joking is a bit too much for Wendy.

"We were just messing with you Wendy." I giggled as I leaned forward and ruffled her hair. Wendy giggled and nodded at me. I leaned back and yawned, I'm kind of tired of waiting for so long. Well it's only been ten minutes, I am very impatient.

Natsu yawned as well as he fell on to my lap. I guess my yawning was contagious. Natsu smiled at me when I didn't move or push him away, he got lucky this time. Natsu snuggled his head into my lap and yawned once more before snoring away into dreamland.

How in the world could he fall asleep so fast? I smiled to myself as I began to play with Natsu's hair. It is really amazing how soft his hair is, I think his is softer than mine. Don't we use the same shampoo though? Maybe Natsu takes care of his hair, who am I kidding?

"So Lucy, when did you fall in love with Natsu-san?" Wendy asked politely. I shot my head up and saw Wendy and Romeo were both staring at me. I must have looked like a big creep just now, I was just smiling down at Natsu while I played with his hair.

"I think I started to fall for him after the spatula incident." I giggled. Oh crap, I just brought up the spatula! I really hate talking about that incident, it just brings back some unwanted memories. I mean it would have been cooler if I defeated Angel with a sword, but noooo it had to be a spatula!

"Spatula?" Wendy and Romeo asked in unison. I don't really feel like explaining this to them, I'm too lazy for that long talk. It would probably take an hour to finish talking about that incident.

"How about we talk about something other than the spatula incident." I laughed nervously. Wendy nodded, but Romeo just stared at me like he knew exactly what happened. Maybe he fought someone with a spatula too? I really doubt that though.

"When do you think Natsu fell in love with you?" Romeo questioned with an interacted look on his features. Boy these kids really liked to hear about my love life. Who am I kidding, I just got a love life today!

"I honestly thought Natsu was too dense to even know what love is." I giggled. My giggles subsided when Natsu shot up from my lap and started to whine.
