Shatter ~Nalu Fanfic + BNHA Crossover~

Chapter 4

 A tired Natsu and Lucy trudged towards the hotel, fresh from the lively fairy festival. Nastu carried a sleeping Happy in one arm and held Lucy's hand with the other. They quickly reached the hotel room they were staying in and Natsu carefully laid Happy down on the couch before laying a blanket across him. He turned and took off his shirt and his scarf then collapsed on one of the two king sized beds in the room. He spotted Lucy emerging from the bathroom and called out to her. 

"Lucy!" He whisper-shouted. She came over and sat down on the side of my bed. 

"What is it?" She asked, cocking her head to one side. He pulled down the bed covers and got under, pulling Lucy down with him. She squealed in protest but eventually gave up and snuggled her head into Natsu's warm chest. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and sighed contently. 

"Natsu?" Lucy asked, her voice muffled by blankets.

"Yeah?" He replied, ruffling her hair. 

"Are we a couple now?" She asked, looking up at him. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before replying. 

"Do you want to be?" 

"Yes," She muttered, blushing. 

"Then we are," He smiled. Lucy kissed him on the cheek then pulled the warm fuzzy blankets over herself. They both soon fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.

Lucy sighed contently feeling the rays of warm morning sunlight on her face. She yawned and stretched, sitting up in bed. She turned to look at Natsu who was still asleep. His face was calm and angelic and his pink bangs were falling over his face, covering his eyes. She brushed his hair out of his eyes and kissed him softly on the cheek. 

"Wake up Natsu," She said softly. 

"No, five more minutes," He muttered, rolling over. Lucy smiled. She let another moment pass, then pushed off her covers and got out of bed. She stumbled groggily into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She took off her pyjamas got into the shower. She sighed with pleasure, feeling the cascade of warm water flow into her face and down her body. She quickly washed her hair then turned off the shower and stepped out. She grabbed a towel and dried her hair, then wrapped it around herself. She left the bathroom and found her backpack.  She grabbed a bra and underwear, along with a simple white long sleeved, shoulder less top and a pair of ripped denim shorts. She went back to the bathroom and brushed her hair before getting dressed. She tied her hair up in a high ponytail, pinning it in place with a large white bow. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and gave herself a slight nod of approval before going to try and wake up Natsu again. 

"Nastu!" She exclaimed, shaking him lightly. "Wake up!" 

"No," He mumbled rolling around. Lucy sighed and stood up, pulling the covers off of him. 

"Come on Natsu, we've got to start heading back to the guild!" She exclaimed. He opened his eyes and yawned. 

"Why do we have to leave so early ?" He complained. 

"It's not early, it's 11:00 and I told the mayor we'd meet him at  12 before we left town," She explained. 

"Fine," He sighed, dragging himself out of bed and into the bathroom. Lucy sighed and went to go wake up Happy. 

Half an hour later Natsu emerged from the bathroom, dressed and showered. Lucy and Happy had finished packing their things and were waiting for him. 

"Here," Lucy said, handing him his scarf and his backpack. 

"Thanks Luce," He took his scarf and tied it around his neck before shouldering his backpack. They went downstairs and check out of the hotel. After they were done, they headed off to town hall to see the mayor. 

"Ah! There you are!" He exclaimed, springing up form his chair as the three-some entered his office. He walked over and shook hands with all three of them.

"We are very thankful for your help in defeating the bandits," He exclaimed, bouncing on the heels of his feet. 

"You're very welcome sir," Lucy replied politely. 

"I hope you enjoyed our town and I hope I see you next year for the nest fairy festival,"He exclaimed, smiling. 

"That sounds lovely, we look forward to it," Lucy told him. The three of them waved goodbye to the mayor and started to make their way down to the town gates. 

"Lucy I'm hungry!" Happy complained as they walked. 

"Yeah, can we get breakfast before we go?" asked Natsu, giving her his best puppy dog eyes. 

"Alright, alright," She agreed, laughing. "There's a small coffee shop over there," She said pointing to a small coffee shop on the street corner. Natsu and Happy waited outside while Lucy when in and ordered three coffee's and a box of assorted pastries. She came back outside carrying the food. 

"Why don't we find a nice tree to sit under along the path home and we can have a picnic?" Lucy suggested. Nastu and Happy nodded and the three of them made their way to the familiar path home. They walked along until they found a big shady tree. Lucy spread out a big blanket and the three of them sat down on top of it. Natsu grabbed a donut and Happy sipped his coffee contently. 

"So Lucy, did we get enough jewel for your rent?" Natsu asked through a mouthful of donut. 

"More than enough," She told him, sipping her coffee. She picked up a blueberry muffin from the box and took a bite. 

"Do you think the others will be mad that we went on a job without them?" Lucy asked. 

"Nah, it'll be fine," Natsu said, waving her concerns away. 

There was a rustle in the bushes behind them and Natsu tensed up. She turned around and screamed as three dark figures shot out towards them.
