Fun in the Sun.

"Its Party Time!" - Worth It..

Lucy was mentally, and physically tired. Mostly from the battle, but even the guild party took a toll on her. So she decided to go home, take a bath, and just relax.

Meanwhile, back at the guild with Natsu and Happy..

"Hey Natsu?" The cat says, eyes closed from utter exhaustion.
"Yeah buddy?" Natsu hums in response.
"I'm really tired.." He squeaks, emphasizing the word really.
"Yeah.. Me too.." He grumbles. "Hey." Natsu sits up, a slight smirk rising on his lips. "Lets go to Lucy's. Her bed is soo, comfy." He garbles. "Aye Sir!" Happy says, unenthusiastic.

Lucy decided take a longer route home. Although she was tired, she wanted to have time to think and reflect.
She eventually turned into the road of her townhouse. She became anxious, knowing that she hasn't paid her rent for a couple days now. "Think happy thoughts.." She repeated, hoping her Landlady wasn't hiding somewhere in her home. She reaches to her doorstep, with a sigh.

She jiggled the handle, and to her surprise, it was unlocked. She walked in with caution, praying that someone hasn't broke in.
She takes a quick sweep around the house, just for the sake of her paranoia.

"Oh thank god.." She softy smiles. Not a trace of anyone.

Lucy pulls her hair out of her loose ponytail, running her fingers through her scalp. She begins to undress, as she walks to her bathroom. She turns the faucet, letting the water run.

She whips her hair up into a makeshift bun, and steps into the comfy water. She sighs, slowly sinking lower into the bath.

Natsu lays in bed paralyzed. Happy, sound asleep right next to him. He lays still so he doesn't draw attention to the two. But he watches in awe as Lucy saunters to the bathroom, in her birthday suit.

"Hehe.. Worth it.." He mumbles, a dusty rose color powdered his cheeks. He shuts his eyes, turning over on his side.
