nalu (Fairy tail fanfiction)The Search For The Dragon Key

Little Sleep

It's been a couple of weeks since Lucy and Dray found what might be the first step into finding Draco. Lucy has been trying to figure out which maps that would lead them to the Village, and what the place was called, but sadly found nothing.

In those's two weeks Lucy hasn't spent anytime at the Guild. The times she was at the Guild she was practically running towards the Guild's Library saying quick "Hi!" and "Goodbye!". And was out the door with books in her arm's before anyone, even Natsu could stop her. 

In Lucy's apartment, it looked like a bomb went off, maps were all over the floor, books on the table, desk, coffee table, and all over the bed. Lucy was pacing around the room holding a book about the area where the village might be. Taking a drink from her sixth cup of coffee that morning trying to drink away the drowsiness, from only having six hours of sleep for two whole weeks. 

Lucy was pacing while holding a book to her face, reading up a plausible area where the map leads. While Dray was sitting cross-legged on the bed resting her head on her hand.

She had put her hair up in a bun to keep it out of her face. Watching as Lucy went back and forth while somehow expertly dodging the small stacks of books and roles of maps that were spread about. 

Sighing in boredom Dray flopped her back onto the bed staring up at the ceiling and asked " When do you think we can go? It's getting soooo boring, being stuck in here!!!!" Blowing a piece of her hair away from her face as she glanced at Lucy with a glazed look in her eyes. 

Lucy stopped her passing and stared at the small girl that was staring at the ceiling. A flash of amusement sparked in her brown eyes at the sight. With a tired smile, Lucy sighed "I know, but we need to figure out where the Village is before we run off and find ourselves in trouble."Sitting on the bed next to Dray. Making the small girl bounce from the shift in weight.

 In those two weeks of being cooped up in her apartment she and Dray had spent time bonding with each other. Looking through books and marking down maps as to where the abandoned Village might be. And having to stay in close proximity within each other during that length of time, people tend to get close.

Lucy looked at Dray seeing that she was still wearing the same old nightgown that now had some stains in it. She hadn't taken it off since the first time Lucy met her in, over two weeks ago... Scrunching her nose in disgust she hopped off her bed she went to her closet and started digging through it.

 Dray sat up and watched Lucy with a raised brow, wondering what she was doing when something hit her in the face. When she looked down to see what had hit her face she saw, a green T-shirt, blue jean overall shorts, knee-high navy blue socks with yellow stars, and a pair of undergarments. 

She looked up at Lucy to see why she was thrown these things but was abruptly picked up and hauled off toward's the bathroom. Dray letting out a squeal of surprise as Lucy threw her over her shoulder. A determined look crossed of Lucy's face as she stomped her way to the bathroom.

When she was set down, the door to the bathroom slammed shut trapping her in the bathroom with Lucy. Lucy walked past Dray without saying a word, turning on the shower while grabbing her shampoo and conditioner.  That was was on the bathtub rim, setting them in the shower. 

When she was done Lucy turned around towards Dray pointing her finger towards the shower and ordered  "Get in you stink, and your clothes are dirty." Dray looked down at her nightgown and saw what Lucy was talking about.

 Crossing her arm's in a pouting way and mumbled" You didn't have to be so straight forward about it." earning a giggle from Lucy. Making a dark blush appear on Dray's face as she looked away.
