Chapter 16: something serious
●Lucy's pov●

"Damn..." Natsu puffs out a sigh as he leans back against my bed.

I turn giving him a triumphant look, my blonde hair tied up tightly in a ponytail.

I've beaten him at least 10 times now in a match of COD, and I can safely say that my ego has been boosted.

He looks at me, his salmon colored hair messy from the constant hair pulling and frustrated yelling of losing.

Today just isn't his day.

"How does it feel to be a loser?" I smile widely, knowing it would send him into a flurry of defending himself.

"You just got lucky" he snorts as he crosses his arms "next time I'm over, I'll destroy you"

With a roll of my eyes, I set my controller down "please, just accept that I'm better"

It feels good to see him after a full week of him being AWOL besides at lunch time, which he seemed distant at most of the time.

He hasn't been talking much, but here with me he is acting like his usual self.

He starts to protest as I tune him out, distracted by his side profile.

We sit on the floor in front of my TV, our backs pressed against the wooden frame of my bed.

My fairy lights are the only source of light besides my wonderful smelling candles, the dim glow giving his tan skin a tempting look.

His outfit is also doing the most for me.

He obviously knew I wouldn't wanna go out as he sits in holey jeans and baggy old worn T-shirt.

We kind of match.

I sit in my short pajama shorts and old worn sweater, that I wouldn't ever dare wear to school.

I let my eyes trail over his defined facial features as he talks, noticing that all of his baby fat is gone, replaced by prominent and sharp features.

I felt like running my fingers over his distinguished jawline.

I won't though.

Him and I are only friends, until I know that I mean more than just a fling.

I mean, we'll always only be friends, that's just how it is, we can't date.

It's not like I like him anyways.

I don't.

I'm just attracted to him sexually.

That's all it is.

I'm not willing to be friends with benefits with him until I know that he's serious in keeping us a secret.

"Lucy, are you listening to me?" He is closer to me than I realized and I lean back.

"Yeah" My response comes out loudly as I cover up my previous expression of admiration.

"What did I say?" His dark eyes pierce mine as he gives me a sly look, knowing that I wasn't paying attention.

"You were talking about winning" I roll my eyes as I look away from him to my superior kill count.

He scoffs and sits back, our arms touching.

We sit in silence for a moment, both agreeing that we don't want to humiliate him more.

The silence we sit in is comfortable, it always has been, even after recent events we can still be normal with each other.

"Do you want food?" I look over at him and he looks at me with an eager expression.

"I'm taking that as a yes" I nod as I stand up, grabbing his hand to pull him up.

He stands a few inches taller than me as he turns to the door, not releasing my hand, but lacing his fingers with mine.

I can feel the warmth spread to my cheeks and I avoid looking at him as he pulls me down my wooden stairs.

It's odd, I've never been one to be shy around Natsu, but now I can't help but feel embarrassed whenever he touches me.

He pulls me into the polished kitchen, and I can just feel that it won't be clean when we leave.

"What do you want?" I ask, knowing I'm usually the one who'll end up making it.

He releases my hand and moves over to sit in one of the island chairs.

"I don't know, something good" he shrugs with a lazy look.

I roll my eyes as I turn to look through the pantry, I open the door disappearing inside.

I can hear him mumbling to himself as I stand in the almost pitch black room.

It smells like cardboard in here.

Ew.

I begin to rummage through the boxes of preserved food for the macaroni.

It's my favorite food, and I'm just glad he's willing to eat it with me.

I think we both realized that neither of us can cook, and we accepted it without a word.

My hands wander through the shelves blindly, and I sigh figuring I should turn the lights on first if I want to actually find anything.

"I'm an idiot..." I snort turning around to turn on the light.

I shuffle across the small room finding it darker than when I originally walked in, and reach out for the light.

Instead of finding the light I run into Natsu hard, letting out a small noise of surprise.

"Nastu you idiot..." I breathe out as my heart hammers in my chest.

His hands find my waist and I immedietly tense as his lips land on my neck.

I can't help but let my hands rest on his chest as my head tilts to the side to give him more room.

I feel like I should push him away considering he's coming onto me so suddenly, But for some reason I can't, my heart hammering even faster.

I find it surprising that he would just kiss me like this out of nowhere, he has been so distant the past week, I find it odd.

His breath on my skin sends chills throughout my body, goosebumps arising.

My eyelids droop and I slowly lean into him.

What am I doing?

"Wait-" I push him back trying to find his face in the dark.

"Why?" His quick response made me wince.

"I told you before you got here, to keep your hands to yourself" I breathe, taking my hand off of his chest.

"Lucy..." his voice was almost sultry "we both know it's bad news to be here alone together.."

I stay silent for a moment knowing he's right "I want you to prove yourself to me, I don't want to start anything till I'm sure"

I swallow thickly, knowing that boys never take rejection well.

I've known Natsu since forever, but even I'm not sure how he'll react.

A few moments pass before I feel him take my hand, his lips touching my knuckles.

"Okay.. I'll wait until you're sure"

My heart suddenly warms.

He really has grown up.

This is a step torwards something, and I'm not sure what we're doing is the right thing.

He's addicting... and I think I'm hooked.

Happy Monday!
Have a wonderful thanksgiving everyone!
