Falling for the Hot-Head [NaLu]

Chapter 9 ♡: Skipping

The blonde's eyes flickered open slowly, blinded by the harsh sunlight peaking through the window.

"Ugh..." She groaned, groggily rubbing her eyes. She noticed all the papers scattered across the table. "...Oh, I must've fallen asleep doing homework last night."

"Homework..." Lucy let out a gasp after muttering the word. "What time is it?!" She quietly exclaimed to herself. She pulled out her phone, it was almost noon.

"H-how did I sleep in so late? I completely missed my first 2 classes!" She frantically looked around, noticing Natsu still asleep on the couch, curled up in the blanket she put over him the night before. "N-Natsu!" Lucy gently shook him.

"Mm...what...?" Natsu opened his eyes slowly.

"What do we do? We missed our first classes! S-should we try to make it for our last ones?" The blonde exclaimed worriedly.

Natsu sat up on the couch, messing with his hair. "Luce...calm down. It won't kill us to skip classes for a day..."

"B-but...!"

"Relax. Besides, we deserve a day off every once in a while." He placed a hand on her shoulder.

Lucy crossed her arms and gave a small pout. "I stayed up late finishing my homework for nothing..."

The salmon haired boy gave a small giggle. "You know, you're cute when you're angry."

"A-am not!" A small blush spread across Lucy's cheeks. She still wasn't completely used to Natsu saying stuff like that to her, but each small comment like that sent butterflies through her stomach.

Abruptly, they both heard a small buzzing sound. They both pulled out their phones to see who's it was.

"Well. Wasn't mine. Mine's dead." Natsu said bluntly, holding up his phone.

Lucy giggled. "Yeah well you fell asleep so suddenly yesterday."

"I don't even remember falling asleep last night...now that you mention it..." Natsu scratched the back of his head.

The blonde pulled out her phone, realizing Levy had texted her. "Oh, it's Levy!"

Levy: Where are you today? It's not like you to miss class, everyone's kinda worried. Natsu isn't here today either.

"Damn, what do I say?" She showed the message to Natsu.

He messed with his messy, salmon colored hair. "Hmm...just say that you're sick or something."

"Okay, I'll just act like I don't know where you are so nobody gets suspicious." Lucy typed out a message.

Lucy: Actually I'm sick today :( I woke up feeling terrible, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. And idk where Natsu is, maybe something came up?

"There, done." She locked her phone and put it on the coffee table. The blonde leaned up towards Natsu, giving him a soft kiss. "Well, I'm gonna go shower real quick and then I can make us some food."

"Yeah sounds good, I'll just be here." Natsu said, realizing he was also in the same clothes from the day before. "I'll probably go after you."
