i'll be watching over you

Monday, June 11, 2012

It was a quiet warm afternoon on a warm summer day in Magnolia back when Natsu was only a child. The sun shined brightly during the day, not a cloud was in the sky. Beach goers spent their time enjoying the sun and the surf, while Natsu sat there on that little hill of sand that over looked the pier. He was happy as he just sat there in the shade of the tree. He was tired, he had spent most of his day swimming with most of his friends, but now it was time for him to just sit back in his red swim trunks and enjoy some peace and quiet.

"Hey Natsu," he heard a familiar voice. And though he enjoyed the quiet he was still happy to see the young blonde child approaching him.

"Hi Lucy," Natsu said grinning widely at her. The little blonde girl returned the smile with one of her own as she walked over to take a seat next to the pink haired boy. She wore a standard pink sundress and a white sunhat, which she took off as soon as she was in the shade. "How are you?"

"I'm okay," the little girl told him as she rested up against the tree next to him.

For a while the two sat there in the shade, neither one uttering the smallest word, just watching the beach goers and surfers. Soon Natsu found his eyelids growing heavy as he was slowly began to fall asleep. But before he did he felt a little thud hit his shoulder as strands of blonde hair flew in his face. His eyes went wide as he saw the young Lucy had fallen asleep with her head resting comfortably on his shoulder. The young boy smiled as he too felt sleep taking him and rested his head on top of hers.

When he woke up he saw that his head was still resting on top of the blonde while she was quietly slept. The sun was beginning to set as Natsu wondered just how long the two of them had been sleeping there. He didn't care, he felt like standing up and moving, but he didn't want to do anything that would wake Lucy. He gazed at the young girl debating whether or not he should wake her up or just let her wake up naturally.

He watched her as she slept peacefully. A light blush came across his cheeks as he gazed at her sleeping face. She snuggled lightly against his shoulder moaning just a little her hand resting on top of his elbow. Natsu blushed deepened even more. He couldn't help but think about how cute she was when she was sleeping. He didn't want to wake her up but he saw that the sun was just beginning to set.

He decided that it was getting late and that it would be better for him to try and wake her up, but he determined that he should do it as gently as possible. "Lucy," he whispered in her ear as he gave her a gentle nudge. "Lucy," he said again.

The young girl groaned as she stirred just a bit, but she still had not woken up just yet. "Lucy," Natsu whispered again. This time seemed to do the trick as the young girl groaned again but woke up. Her eyes were still shut as she tried to open them but could not.

"Yeah?" Lucy yawned drearily as she rubbed her eyes. "What is it?"

"It's getting late," Natsu said softly. The young girl hadn't completely awoken just yet as she let out another yawn. He smiled lightly at her he couldn't believe how cute she was. Perhaps he was too young to notice it just yet back when he was a kid but he really did like the young blonde.

"Oh okay," Lucy said offering him a smile. She then began to stretch out her back as she let out another yawn. "Thank you."

"No problem," Natsu said as he began to stretch out his own back. Lucy stared at him smiling sweetly. "Hey Natsu," she said eyeing him carefully.

"Yeah?" Natsu said as he turned to look at her. Suddenly before he could react he found Lucy kissing him lightly on the lips. The boy's eyes shot up as he stared at her, her eyes still shut, but it didn't last long as the girl almost immediately pulled away. Her face was flushed a deep pink across her cheeks as she moved her head back eyeing him out. She bit her lip before as her eyes moved to the ground in embarrassment.

"What are you doing?" Natsu cried as his face flushed a scarlet red. He almost fell completely backwards from shock. His heart was beating like mad.

"Kissing you," Lucy giggled as she quickly stood up. Her face was still a light pink from embarrassment. "Well since we wouldn't be interrupted this time," she smirked at him before running away. Natsu was at a loss for words as he watched the young girl make her way down to the pier and disappear into the crowd. He continued to blink as he sat there dumbstruck.

He brought his hands up to his lips touching them gently. He then peered his fingers as though looking for the kiss itself. His face was still a deep crimson red, but he couldn't help himself. His heart continued to pound away in his chest. He then gazed back up to where Lucy had disappeared. And just then a wide grin crossed his face.
