Seafarers

Chapter 16: Kiss?

(Diamond's 💎)
Lucy's POV
After Wendy fell asleep I put her into bed and went the kitchen for some water. As I filled up the glass I heard loud, clunking footsteps entering the kitchen. "You're up late." Natsu's voice echoed in the spacious, empty room.
"Just getting something to drink." I said tiredly.
"Hey, thanks for talking to Wendy by the way." He chuckled. "I kinda figured Wendy and Chelia were a thing."
My eyes widen. "You were listening?"
He nodded, then his expression morphed into a sweet smile. "You know, you'll make a great mother someday." My cheeks got warm as blood rushed into them. I brought my hands up to my face to hide my blushing, even though it's too dark for him to see it.
"You know, I never really thought I'd have kids..." I trailed off and Natsu gave me an "are you serious" look.
I realized I had been caught in a lie. "Ok fine! The truth is, before I ran away I was arranged to be married. I never thought I'd have kids with him since I didn't really love him. Maybe if I actually found some I love..." I let him simmer on that thought as I took a long sip of my water.
All of a sudden, the boat tipped sideways. As I stumbled, the glass fell out of my hand and shattered in the ground. I was thrown into Natsu and our lips met. I may have actually kissed him for a moment. I think he kissed back... or maybe not. Why would he? He doesn't like me that way. We broke apart and I was glad once again that it was dark and he couldn't see my deep scarlet blush.
"U-u-ummm... I-I-I should.. p-pr-probably g-g-go..." I stuttered, making my way nervously towards the girls quarters. Only one thought ran through my head. Did he really kiss me back?

Natsu's POV
Damn right I kissed her! I may never get that chance again! I swear she kissed me first! Although.... she was thrown into me... I spent every waking moment of that night wondering if she kissed me or if she'll ignore me because I kissed her. I hope it's that earlier. But who can sag did sure. I may never know. Did she really kiss me back? Like for real? Or did I imagine it? I just don't know.
