The Devil's Angel-NaLu-

Strange Feelings

Lucy woke up to a chilly morning.

Autumn has arrived after all.

She stood up from her sleeping place while rubbing her eyes sleepily as she was still dazed from sleep.

She headed over to the huge glass doors to open the heavy red curtains, leading to a spacious balcony.

Outside was a pair of chairs to sit and a small table with the view of the entire kingdom.

She walked outside, hugging her arms together to stay warm in the chilly environment outside.

The atmosphere in Hell now is totally different. The sky was a light shade of warm yellow with clouds tinted grey and it didn't appear so scary like before.

Lucy took a full look of the garden below her; yellow,red,brown and orange leaves had started to fall, signaling the beginning of autumn.

A breeze blew past her.

"*A-a-achoo!*"she sneezed. She turn head around to peek on her sleeping master, making sure she did not wake him up so early in the morning.

Soon, she turned back to what she's doing.

Her eyes landed on a few bushes of red roses. Oddly enough, ready to bloom in this season. They were beautiful little buds of red gems, full of life even if its in the cold.
She continued to gaze at them.

She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't realized that he was already sneaking up on her.

All of a sudden, she felt like she was enveloped in a familiar warmth that creep up from behind her.

Lucy gasped softly and stumbled to the front a bit from his sudden force and touch.

She's surprised and was a little scared.

Looking down on the muscular arms that was wrapped around her, she immediately knew it was her master.

"What are you doing Lucy? It's still early,"he whispered huskily into her ear, his hot breath fanned against her cold skin, making chills run down her spine like it always does when he do this.

"J-just getting some fresh air?"she stuttered, saying those words in a slightly hoarse voice.

"You shouldn't be standing here. It's getting very cold here when winter is coming,"he spoke worriedly.

"You'll catch a cold,"he added

"I know,"she replied, smiling warmly. She put her soft cold hand on his forearm.

"C-can you let me go now?"
A light blush decorated her cheeks.

Hearing her request, he released her from his embrace.

She felt the cold air touch her again.

"I guess it's about time I get ready for work,"Lucy said cheerfully stretching her arms.

"Ah Luce, yesterday I told Laki bring a uniform for you."

"What uniform?"

"A maid uniform that's more appropriate and warm in the cold. So you don't get sick or freeze to death,"he stated.

"I wouldn't freeze to death,"she giggled at him.

"Well, all I know is that you can't handle the cold,"Natsu uttered to himself, a few bad memories flashing in his mind.

"By the way, where is the uniform?"

He pointed to an antique cherry wood wardrobe where Lucy's clothes are kept.
