WHO : Open
WHAT : Bustlin' about with extra moneys in the pocket. Also getting busted by Natsu for possessions of dragon plushies.
WHEN : Now
WHERE: Genessia City and Fayren, Catch her anywhere, around the cities!

[ After successfully Not-Tomb Raiding and getting payment for the most recent job (and Lucy hoped that the herb was actually going to work for that poor girl) it was time to do some well earned shopping. Not alone though, Neveren, the youngest member of Fairy Tail (kinda) was accompanying her. Her first stop is picking up some cooler clothing for herself and the kids since Regina was busy on a job herself. Next she stopped at a toy store, where she picked up something for him and herself. Her last stop was at the ice cream shoppe before heading back to Feyren to the guild. ]

[ OOC Open CR, come hang out with Lucy and her not!son! ]

[That warmth of her embrace seems to do the trick and after a while she'd feel him returning it, gently and light.]

Yeah. Not without me you're not.

[Honestly when did she become so adept at making him open up like this?]

[ She's not sure, but she's glad for it. Also if she ever thought about it it would probably fluster her to think of how many times she'd be just comfortably close to him like this - and more - when she wasn't overthinking things. Because she was actually quite fine with him returning the hug, relaxing against his side and absently linking her fingers together around him. Her most important person. ]

Good. Because..I...

[ She risked a glance up towards him from her cozy and warm spot, then glanced away again. Whatever she was going to say is quickly switched out for something else. ]

I want to be by your side, always.

[Another close shave and this time only with the plushie as a witness. Well it didn't matter now. Natsu felt the dark clouds in his mind slowly clearing the more he immersed himself in Lucy's scent and warmth, even the sound of her voice.]

I'll keep you to that you know.

[He actually manages to sound a bit more cheerful like his old self but he's not about to deny this moment happened. He's also not pulling away or letting her go just yet.]

That's okay. I don't mind.

[ She smiled to herself, hearing the more cheerful sound of his voice, relieved. ]

I wouldn't expect anything else. [ Not pulling away or letting go? Okay, she'll just stay put because she doesn't ..really want to let go or pull away yet either. ]

Good. Though I still wish I could take this little guy's place at night.

[Speaking of the plushie again and the fact that he longs for his nights sleeping in the same bed with Lucy.]

[ She sighs a little. Darn Erza and her strict No-Boys in the girls dorms after hours rule. Oh well. She couldn't fuss about them being in the room during the day! No rule breaking there. She let her head rest against his shoulder, her glance drifting towards the plushie. ]

Mm... yeah, so do I.

[ Erm. Backpedal? ]

I mean... it's.. not like Erza would have any problem with me sleeping with a plushie. [ Even if she would rather be sleeping with him. ]

Yeah he's got the advantage in that regard.

[He chuckles lightly but buries his nose into Lucy's collar and breathes in deeply filling his lungs with her scent.]

You could.. borrow one of my pillows for a while. If it helps. . .

[ Aand she makes an involuntary squeak, not sure if it was surprise or something else that caused the noise. Possibly a whole lot of things. But she has to stifle a giggle - it might be due to her proximity to him, or just nervous relief, but it almost tickled when he breathed in her scent that way. Yet she couldn't bring herself to chastise him for it - why would she? She knows how much it set him at ease, ticklish or not. And given their conversation, she was giving him a little extra leeway in the matter.

Just don't notice her trying not to giggle. ]

Asking him not to notice isn't going to work. Not when he's actually trying to distract her just as much now that he's slightly more cheerful.]

Mmmm only if you share it with me.

[ Drat! Well at least she clears her throat a little, swallowing back a chuckle herself, teasing lightly. ]

Lending you my pillow doesn't count as sharing?

[ She's happy he's in a better mood. Now she can go right back to blushing, huzzah! ]

[Blushing beats fretting and sinking into depression!]

Mmmmm nope. Not unless you've used it for a few months already. You gotta be there.

[ Yes it does! She'll take it over a depressed Natsu anytime. ]

Well there's not a lot either of us can do about that, as long as Erza has that ruling.

[ ... well she didn't say anything about them relaxing on the bed during the day tho- wait, What is she even THINKING. Stop that. ]

[What are THEY thinking? Because the next thing to come from Natsu's mouth is something he's considered for a while.]

Maybe I should just build a house on the grounds like I did with Happy...

[Nesting instincts or a logical conclusion. She can be the judge of that.]

[ Wait. Wait. Wh..what? ]

A...a house?

[ Because Erza won't let them sleep in the same bed together, or for a different reason? ... wait if it was because of the bed thing... there'd be no convincing anyone that she and Natsu were "just friends" and... okay even SHE knew they were more than "friends" ..sort of. Juvia alone... well if Erza caught wind of what Juvia thought while they were still living in the guild they'd be dead meat. ]

[Did he stutter? He's pretty sure he didn't.]

Yeah. If that's what it'll take I'll do it.

[Now there's a positive goal for the future.]

[ Noo, she'll do all the stuttering for him. ]

I..w..wait a second .. if... if you do that...

[ They will be able to sleep in the same bed without any fuss from Erza but... ]

Don't you think people will talk..?

[ Like somehow they don't already. ]

[Atta girl. Best partner he could ever ask for.]

Talk? Why would that matter? No one had a problem with us living together back in Exsilium.

[ Back atcha. She glances at him with a shake of her head. ]

I don't... mean like that -- I mean.. [ AUGH sometimes she just wants to shake him. ] People would think we were... you know.. [ You know? ]

Partners?

[Partners lived together. Just look at him and happy!]

[ Why is she even trying to explain? ... oh right, because she doesn't want him to be blindsided by someone making the comment! (... she's actually probably late with that.) ]

I... w-well okay, I guess ..sometimes partners do live together, but ... um.. people tend to think differently when they're of opposite.. genders.

[ SHe should actually stop talking. Right now. She's only going to embarrass herself. But no, she sliding into babble-mode(Tm). ]

Look at Juvia-- well ... s.. she's kind of an extreme example, but because you told her we slept in the same bed she naturally assumed it meant we were ... um... Doing more than.. that. Like...

[ NOPE, can't say it. Her face gets scarlet just thinking about it. There has to be an easier way, right? No? ]

[Because she loves frying her own brain.]

More? Like what? It's not like we can do anything beyond sleeping at night right?

[Just cause he tried to peek at her once or twice didn't mean he knew what to expect at night between two people of opposite genders who were this close to one another.]

[ Yep, sounds legit. She just loves torturing herself, because her brain was frying just at Natsu's question. ]

U-um... well... actually..

[ W...wait. He's... talking hypothetically right? Well she's gone and opened up a Pandora's box now! Why, WHYY did he have to ask? ]

K-kind of...but erm... [ GAH fluster harder why don'cha Lucy ] W-with the exception of.. um... certain things... it's ... I -think people would think we were.. um...

[ Hold on. Should she really have this conversation when she was THIS close to him? Agh. She's just gonna blurt it out and hope that's the end of it! ]

M-making out...?

[She's only digging a deeper hole.]

Oh? So that's a bad thing?

[Making out involved kissing didn't it? He was under the impression they both liked that.]

[ There is no end to this hole she's dug! ]

Wha.. We haven't -- I mean we've ... kissed... [ And yes, she -did- like it but.. Fluster fluster. ] We haven't don't that...!

[ ... although that incident in the pool was pretty damn close. If she hadn't realized they could have and had been spotted - eep. Hogod she's doomed herself to the worst possible conversation topic. ]

[I think I can hear China on the other end already.]

Isn't that part of it though?

[Oh boy she's floundering hard.]

But why's it matter anyway. I mean we're the ones who'd know if that stuff happens or not.
