"Luce~" fire mage called out from the soft sheets of blondes bed. His voice sounding tired and raspy.

Blonde continued ignoring the boy and remained focused on the papers in front of her.

The words she composed came from her heart. Her stories define who she is and her poems tell of how she feels. Her pencil is her paint brush and the blank page was her canvas.

A smile appeared on Lucy's features as she wrote down her thoughts, her feelings and her passions. All in one of her masterpieces.

Natsu let out a sigh of boredom and frustration caused by the lack of attention from his best friend. He got on his feet lazily and walked over to the table where she sat.

He put his chin on her shoulder, watching and reading carefully. As soon as his eyes laid on the papers she quickly flipped them over.

"C'mon, what was that for?" He complained.

"N-Nothing at all, I just finished and didn't see you!" She defended with a blunt lie, getting up from her chair.

Natsu walked over to her again and carefully studied her facial expression. As he got closer and closer, the blonde got more and more embarrassed.

"You're all red, y'know." He muttered with a smug plastered on his face before Lucy pushed his body away.

"You're cute when you blush," he commented with a smirk, making Lucy blush even more.

"Wanna know what else?" She nodded hesitantly to his words.

"You're damn hot when you're mad." He hugged her waist and began swirling her around the room as she giggled softly.

"Natsu! Stooop!" She wrapped his arms around his head to maintain her balance.

After few more moments of them just laughing together, and enjoying the company of one another, Lucy looked up at Natsu.

"Wanna watch a movie?"

"Sure!"

"Luce.. this movie's really bo.. ring?" he stopped in his tracks when he glanced at the girl beside him. She looked like she was texting someone on her phone.

Natsu felt his heart and chest starting to tighten but shrugged it off.

"Sorry, what did you say?" She looked up from her phone, her smile never leaving from her lips.

"Nothing at all.. with who were you texting?" The boy snorted, turning his head towards the TV, trying to hide the fact of his jaw clenching and eyebrows furrowing.

"Oh, just Gray.."

His name felt like a bullet coming from her mouth. She said it with so much.. feelings behind it.

"Right." He spat.

"Natsu? Is there something wrong? You seem kinda.. mad." She looked at him with concern.

"You know I could beat him into a pulp if I wanted to, right?" Lucy let out a chuckle.

"I know.." she said before sitting closer to him, leaning her head on his shoulder and colliding their fingers together.

"Good." He returned her gesture and leaned his head on hers.

"You're mine, never forget that." He wrapped his free arm around her torso, pulling her closer.

Blonde didn't respond to his statement, but she didn't really need to. She just smiled softly as they continued watching the film.
