Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

🇯🇵12

Lucy shrugged on a light jacket as her strapped on her heels, looking at herself in her full-sized mirror before grabbing her brush to brush through her golden locks of hers.

Today was Lisanna's last day so she invited her close friends to some 'date' and Lucy was one of them. Natsu texted her he'll be there in a couple minutes but that was ten minutes ago and so she was in her room checking to see if her outfit was alright along with her appearance. She wore boots with a light blue scarf around her neck, a fleece jacket on top of her long sleeves jacket as her jeans hugged her skinny legs.

As she continued to stare at herself in the mirror her doorbell rang and she gathered her keys and phone, going over to get the door. Levy has already left with Gajeel earlier during the day to get prepared with him leaving her to go with Natsu.

She opened the door and smiled as Natsu held out a dozen of tulips in front of her, grinning like a love-sick fool. Lucy took them in her hands and sniffed them, sighing as the sweet scent of the flowers filled her nostrils. "They're beautiful,"

"For a beautiful woman,"

"Thanks! Come in so I could water them." She opened the door wider to allow Natsu to enter, the college student entering to shut the door as Lucy went to go dunk the flowers in a vase. "You look pretty."

"Thanks, you don't look bad yourself." Lucy commented as Natsu grinned at her direction. He shoved his hands in his jean pockets as his red t-shirt was covered over a black jacket, his scarf wrapped around his neck protectively. "What took you so long?"

"Wanted to buy you some flowers."

"Stop buying me flowers, I don't want to keep putting more vases of flowers around the dorm."

"But you still like them,"

Lucy glanced at his direction and sighed, knowing that was true. Nobody bought her flowers and showed her so much affection like Natsu did. She loved it.

Once she put the flowers in the vase and set it down in the middle of her dining table she smiled towards the pink-haired male and walked over to him, going on her toes to kiss his cheek. "Haven't seen you since two days ago."

Natsu immediately wrapped his arms around her waists and pulled her close, a small smile lingering on his lips. He loved the fact he could do this to her and she wouldn't be uncomfortable about it. If it was two months ago, yes, but now, she didn't care. They almost acted like a real couple.

"Missed me?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe is a yes in my world."

"Well I haven't seen you in two days, we always seem to see each other sometimes of the day but lately we haven't."

"Awh, is somebody sad because of that?" Natsu teased as Lucy rolled her eyes and pulled away from him, annoyed of him already. His teases are what gets her annoyed but she loved it at the same time.

"Come on; let's get going before Lisanna starts fussing about us."

"I don't mind wasting time here—with you."

"Just shut up and follow me lover boy."

"As you say, miss." Natsu looked amused and Lucy couldn't look at his face. His smirk always got her heart pumping and her cheeks to redden. She didn't know why but she was falling for him harder and harder. Curse him and his perfectness.

The two college student exited the blonde's dorm, Lucy immediately shivering as the cold air breezed in. Who the hell left the dorm door open? No wonder it felt like it felt so cold in her dorm even though her heater was on. She knew she should have brought gloves with her. She sighed as she buried herself deeper in her fleece jacket and scarf, her body already going numb.
