Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter Seven

Normal POV:

Smiling the whole time, Lucy let the lightning mage go from their hug and went to sit on the bed. “Well, go on?”

Kenzie nodded, “Alright! The plan is simple. All you have to do is spend the night in the guest room, that’s all.”

The blonde gave the brown haired girl a confused look, tilting her head slightly to the side, “What? That’s it?” A nodded made it clear. “But what does-“

“That’s where Natsu comes in!” Cutting Lucy off, the dragon slayer jumped with excitement, “Since his room is a pigsties and he can’t sleep in there from the smell, he normally sleeps in the guest room, where you’ll be at.”

“What if he sleeps on the couch?”

“Pfft! Natsu, sleeping on the couch? That’s funny!” Lucy sweat dropped as the younger girl started laughing once more that night. “A-anyways,” she started, wiping the tears from laughing away, “He’ll probably sleep in the same bed as you like normal, then that’s where you come in. Ask him if he likes anyone, you go on based off what he says.” The blonde wizard blinked at the girl, once again, confused. Not like she didn’t get the plan, cause she did, but at the fact that Kenzie, the little annoying lightning mage, came up with an amazing plan!

I-I never thought I see the day she had smart idea… Lucy thought, still trying to piece the puzzle together.

A smirk from the younger girl brought her back to the conversation. “Will you stop smirking?!”

“Nope!” A growl let Kenzie know she better lay off just a bit at least, “Fine. But hey, you in on the plan?”

Smiling once more, Lucy nodded.

“Yay! This is gonna be great! My brother is actually going to have a girlfriend! And with someone I like!” She ran over to the blonde once more and again hugged her. “You’re the best Lucy!”

The older of the two hugged Kenzie back, just thinking of how to do the plan in her head. She soon let go, opening the brown door slowly and was about to leave the room when the lightning dragon slayer grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear, “Name the kids after me!”

SMACK!

“Ow!” The younger Dragneel rubbed the back of her head and frowned at the blonde in front of her, “And I said I liked you! Well not anymore!” Rolling her eyes, Lucy left for the living room, where Natsu and the pizza were.

She walked in, watching the pink haired wizard lay on the floor and throw a red bouncy ball in the air and catching it, only to repeat the same thing again. He caught the ball one more time than noticed the girls had walked back in room. Smiling his toothy grin, Natsu sat up and waved to them. “Oi guys!”

“Yo bro! You eat all the pizza?” Shaking his head side to side, Kenzie smiled and ran to the box of pizza and grabbed yet another piece. “Yum! You should really try this Lucy!”

“Huh, I’m good…” Sweat dropping again at the girl, Lucy took a seat at the table were a lot of untaken jobs were located.

Soon joining her, Natsu popped his head over the blonde’s shoulder and followed her line of sight. “Oh yeah, me and Kenz were looking over some jobs to take! Thought we might take one and head out tomorrow, with you, Happy, and Leaf of course!” Nodding along, Lucy set the papers down and looked over at Kenzie, who winked at her. Swallowing her food, the younger girl spoke up.

“Oh Natsu, I said Lucy could spend the night tonight in the guest room. That ok with you?” He looked like he was going to say something, but closed his mouth and nodded.

“Sweet! I’ll go get the room ready!” And the younger dragon slayer was off.

It took a few minutes for the room to be semi-clean and to (for once) clean up after their dinner, but Kenzie and Natsu made the guest feel welcomed. Lucy had Virgo bring her some pajamas for the night and sent the pink haired maid spirit back to her own world.

Walking into the room, the blonde sighed. If this plans works like Kenz said it would, Natsu should come in here later tonight.

Yawning, Lucy quietly shut the door closed and curled under the covers, turning the bedside lamp off and making the room dark, only the moonlight shining through.

It took about an hour for the door to re-open and close, footsteps coming closer and closer to the bed. A tap on the shoulder and slight, little push, Lucy sleepily woke up to see the fire wizard rubbing his sleepy eyes. He yawned, then asked his question, “Luce, can I sleep in this bed with you tonight, my bed sucks.” A small laugh and nodded later, the dragon slayer curled into the same bed as Lucy, turning to his side and was about to go to sleep, only hear his partner’s voice again.

“Hey Natsu, I have a question.” She rolled over, both wizards looking eye to eye and inches away from each other’s face.

With a slight blush on his face, the pink haired fire user asked the mage what she wanted. “Well,” she started, “I wanted to know if you liked anyone? You know, like like.”

He chuckled, “Yup.” Geez! That was faster than I thought he would admit it! Lucy thought, blinking a few times.

“Will you tell me?”

“Nope!” Figures…

The blonde was about to ask him something else, when a new idea popped in her mind. Without thinking, the question left her mouth, “Do you love someone?”

“Love?” Crap! Lucy saw the normally confused mage actually start thinking, making her a little scared actually. Whoa, he’s actually thinking about! Must be taking this more serious than I thought he would!

“Well tell me when you have an answer.” She was about to turned over when a hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her even closer to Natsu. So close, Lucy could hear him gulp and feel the warmth leave his face.

He little out a small sigh and slowly closed his eyes, pulling the girl even closer. Soon enough, their lips touched. Surprised at first, Lucy blinked a few times before calming down and welcoming the kiss from the fire mage. She felt her heart beat faster and face warm up, but that didn’t matter. She, Lucy Heartfilia, was kissing her one and only (Happy NOT included…) teammate, Natsu Dragneel.

Slowly pulling away first, Natsu smiled a sweet smile, “That answer your question?”

“Well you have a weird way of saying it, but yes, it did.” She wrapped her arms around him, making his blush deeper, and kissed him on cheek lightly, “And I love you too.”

“YES!” Both jumping, Natsu and Lucy soon realized who it was.

“Hold on one sec…” As he got out of bed, he listened to the girl giggle. Smiling, Natsu tip-toed his way over to the door. Grabbing the doorknob and going to one side, he threw it open and watched the brown haired girl land on the floor.

“Kya!” He laughed as Kenzie started to get up, grabbing her right wrist and having her left one go up and down, a frown on her face. “Well that was rude!”

“Then don’t listen to us through a door!”

“I HAVE MY REASONS!”

“WILL YOU PLEASE GO TO BED!?”

“FINE! MAYBE I WILL!”

Storming out, the lightning dragon slayer opened and slammed her bedroom door closed. Letting a sigh of relief out, the pink haired dragon slayer closed the door and curled back under the covers; wrapping his arm around Lucy’s shoulders.

“Sorry ‘bout that, you know Kenz though.”

“Sadly, I do.”

They both laughed, then yawned. With smiles on both their faces, they started to feel their eyes grow heavier and found it harder to stay awake.

“Night sweetie…”

“Night Luce, see ya in the mornin’…”

And with that, they fell asleep the same way at the hotel, only this time, both being happy and well aware of the other’s presents.
