The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 35

•Lucy's POV•

   "Uh Lucy?" Natsu asked as he pointed in front of him. Here we are, in the bathroom. The bath is what Natsu is pointing at right now. Natsu and I, right now, are very confused.

   "Of course this would happen," I pouted. "I should have known." There is never a day in my life where I don't have an awkward moment! I guess I just have to except my very adventurous life that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

   "Why is the bath so... small?" Natsu asked while poking the bathtub. And this is our problem. Now you have to understand why we are so flabbergasted, Natsu's bathtub is quite huge. Big enough to fit a dragon, literally. My bathtub at the castle was big enough for three people. So Natsu and I are use to big bathtubs, isn't that something great to have in common?

   "You've got to be kidding me." I sighed as I face palmed. I covered my face with my hands. I was blushing madly. This bathtub looked as if it could only fit one person. I've taken many baths with Natsu, but we did not have to sit so close to each other.

   "I-It's just a regular bathtub," I stuttered. "Our bathtubs are just bigger than this one." Natsu nodded as he uncovered my face. I tried to avoid his gaze but our eyes locked. I smiled shyly at him, I was extremely embarrassed.

   "If you are not comfortable bathing with me," Natsu smiled sadly. "I understand and you can bathe alone." Why did he look like that? He made me feel guilty for doing nothing wrong. He looked like a lost puppy.

   "You're too freaking sweet Natsu Dragneel." I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the nose. Natsu chuckled as he hugged me back and began to twirl me around. I smiled at him when he set me down and looked down at me.

   "So we can bathe together?" Natsu asked excitedly. I rolled my eyes and shook my head no. Natsu's smile dropped and turned into a frown. Natsu let go of me and started to head towards the door. I giggled as I watched him, I was just kidding.

   "Why are you so cruel to me Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed as he stopped at the door and put a hand on the handle. I crossed my arms over my chest and smiled at him. He was too fun to mess with. I can't believe he actually believed me.

   "I was just kidding dragon boy." I stuck my tongue out at him. Natsu growled as he stormed over to me. My face paled as I tried as fast as I could to put my tongue back in my mouth, Natsu was just too damn fast.

   "You're so mean to your soon-to-be husband." Natsu chuckled lightly as he tucked on my tongue a little. I glared at him as I tried to get my tongue back. I remembered exactly where this went last time. I felt, déjà vu.

   "N-Natsu!" I exclaimed as I playfully hit him on the arm. Natsu snickered at me as he went to let go. Natsu held on to my tongue more tightly as he looked at my face.

   "Are you enjoying this?" Natsu asked with a smile on his face and eyebrows raised. I growled as I took his finger into my mouth. I bit down onto his finger with a smile on my face. Natsu face went from all smiley to pure shock.

   "L-Lucy!" Natsu yelped as he pulled his hand out of my mouth. I laughed at his reaction. He's just too cute. He might even be cuter than me, but no one can rival me! Oh when did I get so full of myself? I starting to sound like Juvia.

   "Afraid of a little saliva?" I giggled. Natsu scoffed as he began to strip off his vest. Yes I have seen Natsu naked more times that I've actually wanted to but this is quite embarrassing. I wanted to look away but his muscles really got to me.

   "Lucy's a pervert!" Natsu sang as he flung his vest at my face. I pouted as I went to remove the article of clothing from my head. As soon as I removed the vest, Natsu was beginning to remove his pants.
