Chapter 5
A Bed for Natsu
That wretched feeling of motion, of not being still, that dreaded and despicably evil thing called transportation finally—thankfully—ended. Natsu felt his world slowly return to normal. His stomach settled down, his head stopped throbbing, his ears rang softer and softer. As it all began to calm down, he heard Gray's voice.
"How are they?"
"Still sleeping." That was Lucy. He smiled in his sleep at hearing her voice. It was warm and gentle … like Igneel. Only it was a girl's higher voice, not a dragon's deep rumbles.
"Hey, are you feeling okay? You look a bit pale."
"Just tired. I couldn't sleep at all. Natsu was snoring loud enough to wake the dead."
Natsu pouted in his twilight-sleep-consciousness. He did not snore!
"Wait, is he…? That's her… Goddamn it, what is that stupid, pervert, flame-brained bastard doing in his sleep!" Gray growled.
Just hearing Gray's angry voice made Natsu want to fight him, but not yet. The world had not completely stopped spinning. Once it stopped, then he would fight Gray. He would fight him and beat him until his world started spinning.
"It's fine, he's just sleeping, no harm done. It's sort of cute."
Lucy's words calmed Natsu's rage. He smiled again. Her voice was like some kind of sweet angel. Not that he would ever tell her something that silly.
"But if you tell Erza, I will kill you … okay?"
He could hear the sweet grin within her fatally threatening voice. Natsu shivered, and he was certain Gray must have, too. Forget a sweet angel. She was a demon! How could that woman sound so scary and so playfully happy at the same time? It wasn't normal, and it made Lucy the third scariest woman in Fairy Tail, right after Erza and Mira.
"Get some help," she ordered.
"Um … right." Then Natsu heard Gray's feet move away, and his annoying stench finally left.
Familiar smells came to his nose. They were back at the guild. He could smell the people around, the aroma of Mira's cooking, the scent of the river, the whiffs unique to Magnolia, and the smell that still annoyed him just a little bit about this new guild building. Still, it was home!
For now, Natsu was content with being right where he was. He felt warm and comforted, lying on the softest mattress he ever knew, holding onto the best pillows he had ever felt. He squeezed their plumpness, but that made his bed moan.
Moan?
He opened his eyes to see he was still in the magical vehicle. Erza was his bed and the pillows were her breasts. His head rested on one, his hand was groping the other, and Erza was adorably flushed in her sleep. He stared, frozen in horror for a moment, unable to simply let go, dreading that the slightest move would wake her, and that meant instant death.
The only thing worse than waking up to find himself groping the scariest woman he knew was to hear Lisanna's voice approaching, calling his name joyfully. He had to let go before she saw! If anyone in the guild saw him doing this…
"Don't worry."
Lucy's voice made him leap right off the car bench, which made him more terrified of waking Erza. At least he had finally released her chest.
"The medication will keep her out all day," Lucy explained passively, seated on the bench across from him and looking weary, almost like she had been crying. "She doesn't know you were doing that."
"Why didn't you stop me?" he shouted.
"If I had gotten too close, you might have grabbed my breasts as well."
"Why would I want to?" he mumbled. Still, he was troubled with worries. "You won't tell her, will you?" he pouted in concern.
"Nah, and I told Gray not to. If she kills you, who else will help me get rent money?"
He grinned in relief. "You're the best, Lucy!" he exclaimed just as Lisanna, Mirajane, and Elfman came to get Erza and help the rest of them. "By the way, where's Loke?"
Lucy's face went sad, which concerned Natsu. "He left. He knew I needed more time."
"Huh? Time?"
Lisanna popped her head in through the window. "Welcome home!"
Natsu blushed slightly to see her. "Ah, yes. I'm home."
That little exchange made her giggle with happiness. "Elf-niichan, come get Erza. Don't worry, Mira-nee and I will get her luggage back to her dorm. Natsu, can we have dinner together tonight? You promised we could when you got back."
"Oh, uh … yeah, sure," he chuckled, rubbing the back of his head with embarrassment.
Elfman hefted Erza out, who only woke up enough to moan a bit, make a soft demand for strawberry cake, and then passed out again. The two white-haired sisters unhitched the piled cart from the back of the vehicle, and both worked together to drag it away.
"You know, Natsu," Lucy said quietly, "you're lucky to have a girl like Lisanna." For the first time, Lucy truly felt jealous of the cute young woman. "Ever since you were children, she knew that she wanted you. She's never questioned those emotions. I bet not once, not even in Edolas, did she ever let her eyes wander to other people. That sort of constant love … it's really rare. Don't mess things up with her." Then Lucy left wearily. Instead of going to the guild hall for drinks, she began walking home.
Natsu pouted in confusion. Girls never made any sense.
