Chapter 33

"Lucy.... Lucy...... Luce... Wake up" Natsu whispered.

Lucy moaned and turned around in her sleep. Natsu chuckled then walked around the bed so he could be facing her again.

"Wake up Lucy, or else I'll have to kiss you awake" he warned her.

Lucy ignored the voice. Suddenly she found it very hard to breathe. After a minute or so Lucy's eyes shot opened and she leaned up.

"It's rude to invite people over if your not awake to greet them" Natsu told her.

Lucy glared at the man trying to catch her breath.

"Good morning" he smiled.

Lucy pushed his face out of her view and stalked her way to the restroom.

"Not much of a morning person is she?" Natsu asked Wendy.

Wendy shook her head. "I'm going to go feed Charle" she said walking out the room.

Natsu was left alone in Lucy's bedroom. He wandered around it looking to see what she had; not much Natsu deducted. There was no pictures of family, no paintings, no nothing. Hold on... what was this? There was something sitting out under Lucy's bed.

Natsu bent down and looked under her bed. He tugged on a pink fabric and pulled it out. Now what was this doing under her bed? Natsu stood back up and held the fabric out so he could examine it. It was a dress... and it was pink!

"Where did you find that?" Lucy asked looking at him.

Natsu jumped then turned back to look at her.

"Is this yours?" he asked.

Lucy walked over and snatched it out his hands.

"Shit, I was suppose to burn this" she said crumbling it up in a ball.

"No don't! It's pretty and girly!" Natsu yelled.

"Your point?" Lucy said throwing it in the back of her closet.

"I want you to wear it one day with me" he said.

...

"On a date"

...

"Hopefully just the two of us"

...

"Alon-"

"Enough Natsu! When I don't respond that doesn't mean you keep talking!" Lucy yelled.

"Oh well... one day" Natsu told her.

Lucy ignored him and exited her room.

"You better hurry if you want breakfast" she said.

"LUCY!" Natsu yelled walking after her.

"Are you going to walk me to school every morning?" Lucy asked.

Natsu smiled. "Of course, now you'll never be late! Besides weren't you the one who invited me over for breakfast?" he said.

"Breakfast not a escort" Lucy mumbled yawning.

"Morning Nii-san" Wendy said.

"Morning Wendy, how are you?" he asked.

"Worried, Charle is going to be all alone without me" she said.

"Oh, well I leave Happy alone all the time when I go to school and he's never gotten into trouble. You have nothing to worry about" Natsu said.

Lucy drowned out their conversation and pulled out her cigarette. She felt a sense of relieve now that she didn't have to pretend to be happy at school any longer. God had Lucy missed smoking. Sure she didn't think she was addicted to them, but Lucy loved it. The sense of relief flooding through her when she takes a deep puff, there was nothing to compare it to.
