Space Invader!

Who: Natsu and Lucy
What: Lucy is tired and wants to sleep. Natsu sneaks into her room as usual. Pandemonium ensues.
When: 7/11/12, a few hours after her chat with Natsu.
Where: Lucy's Room, #628
Rating: PV for possible violence

[ As wonderful as it was to see Natsu again, Lucy had eventually shoo'd him out and insisted he go to his own room, wherever it was. Both were caught up on things so far, and Natsu's arrival did confirm what Arya had told her. Still, there was a lot to think about. She'd explored a bit, checked out the library (still amazed there were THREE FLOORS to the thing), and before it got too late, returned to her room.

Her bed, her soft, comfortable, fluffy and inviting bed was just waiting for her. She didn't want to keep it waiting any further, so after putting her keys down nearby, where they would be safe, she climbed into bed, snuggled up against her pillow, and prepared to doze off.

Ah, what a serene, peaceful scene. Yeah, that isn't going to last. At all. ]

[ SHE HEARD THAT, Natsu! ]

What was that? [ If she didn't know better she'd say you were TRYING to start trouble! EYEING Natsu suspiciously - she dares you - double dog DARES you to say that again! ]

GLk - [ And hi she's sitting up again, turning away from Natsu because WHY .. WHYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. She shakes her head a few times, slapping her cheeks. Stoppitstoppit. You're weird, Lucy. That's weird, you're being weird. ]

Why do you have to say things like that?

[ Don't you know how horribly embarrassing it is when you just come out with that stuff so bluntly? All the same, he wouldn't be Natsu if he didn't. Oh what is your life, Lucy. ]

You're so weird!

[ Takes one to know one? ]

Nothing! I didn't say anything. [Inside his head he's laughing evilly, like he's the Great Demon Lord Dragneel again.

He rolls onto his side when he feels her move. Lucy what. What are you doing.

He's looking at her rather blankly, blinking, as he watches her slap her own cheeks]

Say things like what? It's not like I'm lying or anything.

[He becomes almost indignant at that random comment, making a face]

You're weird too! You were just hitting yourself! Shouldn't you be happy or something?

[Really, Lucy]

[ LIES. You totally said something! ]

I don't believe you.

[ SO skeptical Lucy. But can you blame her? He's trouble, that Natsu! ]

Happy?

[ That has her turn around to stare at Natsu. Happy for what he said? That he wanted to sleep here with her? That's ridiculous! Why would she be happy over a thing like that!? ... ... only she kinda is, because she's used to him coming in.

Natsu sneaking into her bed, or her room, invading her privacy - it's familiar. As much of a fuss she kicks up about it, she's happy. Happy he was there to fuss at so much. Being alone in this place would be miserable - she'd worried so much when she awoke and no one from home was there.]

Wh..wh..

[ This doesn't stop her from launching into a incoherent flailing frenzy. ]

N.. Nevermind!

[ When in doubt, RUN AWAY, Lucy! ]

You're weirder than I am anyway!

[Innocently looking away, before nodding his head resolutely.

While she's having her little internal monologue of sorts, Natsu shifts to sit up, crossed-legged and facing her. He leans in closer after a moment, peering with narrowed eyes, confused]

What is it? Now I'm curious.

[The most shocked of expressions! How could you even suggest that Lucy pft]

Huh?! No way! You're definitely weirder than I am! You prove it all the time.

[ ERK. A Natsu is drawing near! What do!
[ Attack!
[ Item
[ Flee <------
[ Lucy scoots in the opposite direction from the leaning, scratching her cheek awkwardly. Ahem. ]

What is what? Nothing! Go away!

[ That's right, she's making the warding gesture and everything. Lucy, acting weird is not going to make Natsu less curious. ]

I don't need to hear that I'm weird from the weirdest person I know!

[ What is this conversation, even? ]

[Lucy, you're sometimes the most confusing person to Natsu, seriously]

You said I could stay though!

[He's not going anywhere now! Nope. He even crosses his arms and looks determined as if to prove this]

... Wait, say that again. [He... didn't quite catch it the first time]

Ah, whatever, ne- [The word cuts off when he yawns, widely and without covering his mouth or anything of the sort] -vermind.

That again.

[ ... real cute, Lucy. But she exhales, glancing over her shoulder at the sound of the yawn. D'awww. ]

If you're tired, just go to sleep, Natsu.

[ ... On her bed. She'll curl up on a chair, or the floor - he was a guest, and nakama, so it was okay. Though yawning without covering one's mouth is friggin contagious, and she fights against a yawn herself. SHE has the manners to cover her mouth though! ]

... Huh?

[He doesn't get it but shrugs and mumbles under his breath:] Weird.

[A shake of the head is his immediate reply]

You didn't figure out what we're gonna do yet. [So he's trying to stay awake!

He smiles when she yawns too though, finding it funny and a little cute. He doesn't know what time it is, but they're clearly both very tired]

[ She had a feeling that would go over Natsu's head, but she laughs anyway. HEE. ]

Weirder.

[ Because apparently she can't let that go. ]

Just go ahead and use the bed, Natsu. You look like you've already started to get comfortable anyway. Even though I told you not to.

[ It's just for one night after all, right? Right? ]

[He makes a face, but it's half-hearted, not really taking any offense from the comeback]

Then where are you sleeping? You didn't say we're sleeping together.

[Sheepish smile at the comment, and he rubs the back of his neck] Couldn't help it, sorry, Lucy.

But you're comfortable too. You should sleep in your bed.

[Right, of course, only one night...]

[ FK;la PHRASING NATSU, PHRASING. ]

OF COURSE WE'RE NOT SLEEPING TOGETHER!

[ ER. GOD Lucy, Loud much? You have neighbors now! ]

I'll be fine, I'll sleep on the chair or something. [ Or the floor with a pillow and blanket. Speaking of, she gets to her feet to wander over to Natsu, watching him for a moment. For a second she almost looks like she's going to say something, but decides not to, instead reaching down to swipe one of her pillows. GIMME! ]

It'll be fine, since it's just for tonight.

[ Oh you poor deluded spirit mage. ]

[One day he'll learn that some things just don't get understood the way he thinks they do.

Startled by the sudden outburst, Natsu covers his ears, waiting just in case she starts yelling some more]

You won't fit on the chair. [Er, don't take that the wrong way, whoops] And that's not fair, it's your bed, you should sleep in it too.

[He tilts his head when she come over, expecting her to say something. He doesn't let her move away after though, hand reaching out to grasp one of her wrists gently]

Lucy...

[ Even though she knows he doesn't mean it the way it comes out, it's STILL awkward to hear! That plus some of his actions also don't help one bit. ]

Will so! [ OH HOW OFFENDED she sounds by that too! Are you calling her a fatass, Natsu? RUDE. ]

[ All set to tuck the pillow under an arm, she stops, surprised by her wrist being snagged. Er. ]

... w-what? I said it was okay so...

I wouldn't fit in it either! Wendy would probably even fall off and she's tiny. [He really didn't mean it like that! Though, ah, mentioning Wendy makes his gaze grow a little disheartened, but it's swiftly gone in an instant.

It takes him a few moments to answer]

Just... [Natsu presses his lips together, thinking, and glances to the side]

... sleep here with me. There's enough room, it's fine, isn't it?

[He sounds a lot more serious than this probably warrants, but well, he really does feel bad about making Lucy sleep somewhere else just so he can be comfortable]

[ But that's what friends were for! Everything so that their bestie is comfortable! Her hand twitches a bit at mention of Wendy, and she glances away briefly, particularly to the chair in question. ... she missed the littlest dragon slayer, not to mention the rest of their friends. She could put it out of her mind sometimes, but they were always coming to the surface - such a deep part of her life for over a year.

[ She's tempted to pull her hand away, to tell Natsu to stop being ridiculous. The silence that follows the request probably isn't very reassuring either, her fingers absently curling into a fist and relaxing again. There was plenty of room, yeah. But that wasn't the point! ]

Natsu...

[ Say no Lucy. Don't be an enabler! Don't ... don't ask /why/ for god's sakes. She shakes her head. ]

I... [ ... just for tonight right? She glances away, her voice quieter. ]

...move over.

[That's true! But it's a hard thing to accept when a bestie wants their bestie to be comfortable too! Uhm. Right.

He pushes thoughts of Wendy out of his mind - they're meant for another time really, when he can go off and think for a bit on his own - and becomes increasingly wary of how Lucy will respond thanks to the silence.

When she glances away, he looks back, soft smile forming on his lips when he finally catches that reply]

Right, okay.

[He's a lot more relieved now, knowing that she'll be next to him and more comfortable. It actually... makes him happy, in all honesty, for whatever reason.

He re-adjusts the blanket first, before tugging on her wrist as he shifts to one side of the bed. Natsu really should let go already but he won't until she's settled in the bed too]

[ Circular logic. The single most awesome and frustrating thing in the world. Second only to Lucy Logic. :3 Although this... this situation is just a bad idea all around, she's sure. Also why aren't you letting go? She isn't going to run away! this time. Still, once room is made she - takes a bit longer to settle onto the bed. WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY NATSU. ]

...

[ Awk-ward. ]

All right, now... go to sleep, Natsu.

[ She'll try to do the same, though she doubts she'll be able to. ... nevermind that once she gets comfortable enough her sleepiness will take over despite the awkward. ]

[Satisfied once she's lying down - because hey he did still wonder if she might run away, okay! - Natsu lets go, curling that hand up near his face.

He continues to smile, not sensing any of the awkward, as usual. He nods against the pillow]

You're comfortable, right?

[That needs to be established first! Though he stifles another yawn afterward, making it obvious that he's going to fall asleep in a matter of minutes]

[ It -is- a valid concern. She was still wondering how she could slip her hand out of his without him noticing. At this point, it didn't look possible. Still it looked like he was starting to fall asleep, and the thought brought a smile to her face.

... although how he could possibly expect her to be comfortable sleeping next to this animal she had no idea. - okay that wasn't /entirely/ fair but still. ]

A-a... y-yeah.

[ She's comfortable, yes. But she's awkward too, and that was keeping her from relaxing enough to rest. Absently she glanced at the hand he held curled near his face. ]

Are you?

[There are still those other, unusual and foreign scents around them, but if he focuses on what's familiar, then he feels relaxed enough to sleep.

It sort of makes him feel a little embarrassed, that he had to ask this of Lucy when she freaked out about it, but only a little]

Good. [He'll accept that uncertain reply at face value, sounding glad]

Mm, yeah. Thanks, Lucy. I think I'll be able to sleep 'cause of you.

[His eyes were half-closed but he kept his grateful gaze on her and that comforting smile]

[ Hand! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand! /sob. OK Lucy! This the only night you'll allow this because he's uncomfortable and lost his scarf /and/ Happy. He needs to adjust that's all. Just tell him clearly tomorrow! And pray he doesn't dream about fighting Gray and pop you in your sleep. She chuckles softly. ]

I'm glad, Natsu. [ It's a little embarrassing, but if it helps him, it's the least I can do. ... She gives the hand holding hers a little reassuring squeeze. So long as she drew breath in this place, she'd stay by his side. For as long as she could. ]

[You better keep that resolution, Lucy, otherwise this will most certainly become a habit of Natsu's.

A lazy grin, and he squeezes her much smaller hand back gently, keeping it enveloped in the warmth of his own. If he could keep holding this hand, figuratively or literally, Natsu would draw strength from it, and he would protect her as he always tried his best to.

It hardly mattered that they were far from home, if anything, that made his will to do so even stronger]

G'night, Luce. [Softly, and he closes his eyes, ready to let sleep overtake him]

[ Really, her resolve was great! Unwavering! ... when it came to confronting enemies and standing by her nakama. Her will was ironclad, unquestionably strong. But when it came to her own nakama, held so dear to her heart, the idea of letting any of them down was just... unthinkable. The worst possible thing that could happen - she would never let them down if she could help it.

Which is part of why she permitted Natsu to get away with the majority of the things he does.

... ... she would kind of like to have her hand back though. ]

Good night, Natsu.
