[ Video / Action ]

[ When the video turns on, it is at an odd angle, hushed voices being just picked up. ]

"Is she gone yet?" "Not yet. Wait a sec."

[ And then the sound of a door closing, followed by mischievous giggling. The angle of the feed changes, this time showing a Lucy, smiling happily, brown eyes bright. ]

Hello everyone in Fayren, Genessia and more! If you don't know me, I'm Fairy Tail's Lucy, and I'd like to wish each and every one of you a very happy Valentine's Day. Of course, wishes aren't enough, so today only, I'm offering a free kiss to anyone who responds to this post! Aa, but if you see me on the street then you can collect on that offer of a kiss too. It's a special day for lovers, after all!

[ And she winks, coyly. ]

Looking forward to seeing you!

[ The feed ends at that point. ]

[ Action ]
[ Lucy would be found in Genessia City mostly, picking up flowers to decorate the newly build Fairy Tail guild hall. She's also clueless to the massive, massive trolling that a certain Spirit just caused. She's in a pretty good mood, if a little jumpy at times. Distracted too, mostly with thoughts about the day and a certain person. In her other arm she carried some foody type ingredients for cooking. She's never too busy to say hi or make a friend though! ]

[ OOC: So yeah, Gemini decided to play a prank and copy Lucy's form while she was out. The actual Lucy will be a very confused summoner if someone takes Gemini-Lucy up on her suggestion though. By which I mean, feel free to harass Lucy, mwahaha. ]

[Well depends. Maybe they can make it up.]

[He kinda wishes she finished that sentence. And maybe he doesn't a bit.]

I...well. Of course that's not the reason I answered. Though...I did think it was safer if I answered first.

[Safer for who though?]

[ Lucy nodded a little with the nod of one who wished that he'd said something else. He wished she'd finished her sentence, and she wished he said that it was the reason he answered. In any case it's with a smile that Lucy agreed with his statement. ]

Of course. That's... what I expected you'd have told them.

[ ... She's at least trying not to sound disappointed. She dropped onto the edge of the bed, tucking her leg under herself, watching him, before waving him to sit . Erza's not here, he can sit in the same room with her. It's O.K.. Funny he used that particular phrase though. Safer. ]

[That pause makes him think he just failed some kind of test. Even if she says she agrees with his stance. Even though she smiles at him.]

Besides I'd rather you want to kiss me instead of having to cause of some stupid term.

[Again he has such a way with words. Good thing she's on the bed when he drops that line.]

[ A VERY good thing. And yet at the same time she still felt like she was knocked over with a feather. She stared at him incredulously first, the responding blush causing her face to redden again, little by little. Those words - it was the same sentiment as two months ago, when it was a different holiday, and with mistletoe. ]

N...Natsu...

[ He really did have a way with words. Just when she thought the conversation was going one way, he said something that was the verbal equivalent of yanking an area rug out from under her feet and tripping her up. ]

I don't..want to kiss you because it's Valentine's Day. [ Wait. There's something wrong with that terminology. CRAP she meant wouldn't. She - can she eat her words and pretend she didn't say them? FFRICK. ]

I-I mean, I would only.. if I wanted to..

[He was going to do that often. Not in a bad way hopefully. Of course it was the same sentiment. He wanted her to want to kiss him not have to because of a pushy tradition and what not. Yes that likely would cut down on how often he could get one. But he wants each to be worth it. Each one memorable. Each special.

And he didn't hide that in the least. He did balk a bit at the first half of her reaction but the second one soothed it back in place.]

And that's how it should be.

[Though what if he wanted to kiss her. He had plenty of moments when he wanted something like that. ]

[ No, there was no way she could take that kind of response poorly. That he was so open and frank about it though, made her embarrassed. On the other hand, she was of the same opinion. She wanted him to kiss her because he wanted to, no other reason than that. Her opinion was similar to his though. Every kiss, every moment she shared with him she wanted to be special. She already knew they would always be memorable.

Coincidentally, she had plenty of moments where she wanted to kiss him too. Maybe it was her imagination but to her, it seemed she thought things like that more frequently lately. Maybe though, that was because the first time she kissed him was a year ago today. ]

Y-yeah.

[ Gods, but she wanted to. She really really wanted to. Augh, okay she needed to change the subject before she had the urge to act on that want. ]

...ah...are you... still okay? After the training with Erza I mean?

[ He was more used to it than she was. ]

Training with Erza. Now there was a potent topic shifter if there ever way one.]

Ah yeah I'm okay. Not looking forward to moving to the dorms though. It'll be harder to crash at your place with Erza there.

[And he sounded quite disappointed about that. He would still try though. Because some things are worth the punishment.]

[ A safe one, too. Or...mostly safe. Hearing how disappointed he was about sleeping in the dorms, she almost grinned. Well. She DID miss him being next to her at night - it was comfortable, and warm and she always, always felt safe next to him. But even so to come right out and say it...

[ Well it was easier to say THAT than to admit she wanted to kiss him more. She fidgeted a little, venturing after a moment. ]

Well... we ...will have our own rooms in the dorms..

[ If he could find a path to her window he could possibly avoid Erza. Surely she wouldn't barge into Lucy's room after they'd fallen asleep right? ]

I know we will. That's the whole problem. I liked living with you back in Exsilium and even here when we stayed at the inn. It just felt right.

[He was likely missing the point. THen again maybe he could use the rooftops to sneak in? He'd have to come up with something. THen again that never stopped him before.]

Even though she made you sleep on the floor, here?

[ That couldn't have been comfortable. Well, not as comfortable as the bed. Still that he said it felt right.. she couldn't deny that either. And still admitting that was easier than.. the other thing. Sort of. ]

But... I did too, to be honest. I guess because I got so used to you being there when I woke up, it seems strange for you not to be in the morning.

[ Brain stop it. She's trying to be honest and not freak out, it doesn't help when you start overanalyzing her wording and throwing bad images in her head. Like how tempted she had been sometimes, to curl up close to him or sleep with an arm around him and damnit this isn't helping. ]

I guess... [ Erza just didn't understand their relationship - and to be fair Lucy wasn't sure she did either sometimes - but it wasn't like they were doing anything BAD in bed. Just sleeping. ]

I guess I miss it. [ She sighs faintly. ] I want you in b-

[ OHhhhh bad phrasing. She blushed, shaking her head. ] I liked being able to wake up next to you.

Yeah even then. At least I was close to you.

[He's slept on worse. Remember he was raised by a dragon. Comfort was something that he only got introduced to once he rejoined civilization. Lucy's words however do light a small flame of happiness.]

You did? Really? So that's why you stopped kicking and screaming in the morning.

[Well that solved that puzzle. He's not about to ask what exactly triggered this change. He'll take whatever he can get. Though the fact that they were talking about it in the past sense just rubs him the wrong way.]

[ The past tense wasn't intentional. Not when she'd gotten so used to relying him being there. Actually she was fighting with herself on continuing that pattern. Was it really such a good idea to sleep in the same bed with him when she had such.. "improper" thoughts? Way back she would have agreed with ERza about a man and a woman sleeping in the same bed. But this was Natsu. And a small part of her that she tried ignoring was being stubborn and selfish. Who cares what Erza thought? ]

Ah.. yeah... it was.

[ She chuckled awkwardly at that. God she didn't even know when it was that she stopped fussing at him and started wanting to see him when she woke up. ]

I... [ She really wanted to be selfish. At least in this. ] ... I could leave the window open...

[ Not that a closed window would stop him. Precious little would stop him if he really wanted to get in, she thought, but at least saying that was like saying she still wanted him to sleep next to her - without actually saying it, at least. Right? ]

The funny thing is Erza would likely not have as many problems with it if they'd just make things clear and stopped dancing about the matter.

But that would be too easy and no fun for whatever deity watching over them. Honestly he was in the same boat. He didn't know when it happened just that it happened really early. Just something about lying in her bed always felt so damn right.

Leave the window open. Now there was an idea even if unnecessary. ]

Well...I uhm guess that would work, yeah. [Providing Erza didn't come checking on Lucy in the morning. AFter that odds were they either spoke frankly about the arrangement or Lucy would have her windows boarded up.
]

[ Or worse, Erza would still have problems with it and choose to sleep next to Lucy instead of Natsu. Terrifying. And hopefully Erza wouldn't check on her in the morning. Though speaking frankly about their sleeping arrangements - assuming that's all Erza would make them clarify - not that bad. Trying to explain WHY she felt safe and more comfortable with him in the bed was another matter. ]

O..Okay then. So..

[ Well! That's handled! ... for now. Though Lucy felt guilty about sneaking around when Erza made her insistence clear. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to try to explain things to Erza. At least then she'd be able to sleep with a clear conscience. Though admittedly when she was with him she tended to forget about other things like that. ]

...

[ That just leaves the matter of the chocolates and... ]

[Well they would overcome that hurdle when they got to it. Honestly having to explain stuff was so troublesome. ]

So?

[Is there something else LUcy wanted to say. Hmmmm Oh maybe it's that!]

Oh I know. It's probably best if you don't go outside again today. Who knows how many people saw that message.

[ It was! She wished she didn't have to explain anything to anyone at all. Whatever it was between them after all. ]

I - [ Wait what? OH. Ohgod she'd actually forgotten about that message. ] You can't be serious - I can't just hide in here all day.

[ Actually she can. It was cozy, and she had a few books - and more importantly Natsu was with her. Though she could hardly expect him to stay with her. He wouldn't want to be cooped up in the room all day.

[He growls under his breath closing his eyes tight with a frown as he tries to think.]

Mmmmm but I don't want anyone pushy coming up to you asking for that kiss.

[Once again a bit too blunt with that stance.]

But if you really have to go out again, I'm coming with you, at least.

[ Extremely blunt. She could easily take as him just being as protective as ever, but.. she can't quite hide that slight smile nonetheless. ]

You don't, huh... [ She murmurs faintly. That bluntness - she didn't know what to do about him sometimes. ]

Well... I don't have to go anywhere yet, anyway. [ She glanced down at her lap, absently, almost nervously, pressing her hands against her knees, trying to ignore that blush that kept coming up. ]

I'm glad that you found me first, though. [ Found her first and responded first. She could ignore everyone else. ]

[Now if only he'd be like that with EVERYTHING.]

[He heard her murmur but he was a little puzzled by her shy shuffling and even her heartbeat was quickening a bit. It's his turn to reach shyly though when she says she's happy he found her first.]

I always will. No matter what.

[ If only! .. wait, that would make it even harder for her to deal wth him. She glanced towards him at his words, her smile warming. ]

I believe it. [ She took a breath, telling her heart to stop the rapid beating. Not that it ever listened to her. But she got up off of the bed. ]

I have something for you. [ Chocolates! And not store-bought, but the kind she made last time. Which...might be part of why she's blushing so much right now. ]

[How so? At least it would all be in the open, all the pieces of the puzzle for someone else to put together.]

You do?

[WIth all of the commotion he'd kind of forgotten what day it is. Either way he's both interested and a little unintentionally hopeful about whatever Lucy has for him.]

[ That someone else would take less time to put the pieces of the puzzle together than them. Lucy grinned. That reaction was cute too, honestly. Padding over to where she'd left the chocolates, she pulled out the heart-shaped box. She didn't specifically pick it out that way. HOnest! It just happened to be heart shaped! ]

Yeah. Here!

[ She reclaimed her seat next to him, box in her hands. She studies it for a moment or two, thoughts elsewhere, nods a little to herself, and ...sets it aside instead of giving it to Natsu. She's a CHOCOLATE-TEASER. ]

[Probably. It's easier for an observer after all. He saw the heartshaped box but given this wasn't his first valentine with Lucy he wasn't as confused. He's about to accept the box from her when she decided to just put it aside for the moment. Lucy is supposed to give that to him so he doesn't press it.]

So that's why you were out shopping.

[ She might want to give him something else first. She paused, sheepish. ]

Actually . . . those are because I wanted to buy flowers for the guild, and the chocolates for Erza. .. I made yours. I know you like it hot -- spicy. And since they don't sell something like that ...

[ Well, more like she wouldn't allow someone else's chocolates be used for his Valentine gift. ]

[His eyes widened a little when he heard Lucy's answer.]

Wait you made the chocolate for me...yourself?

[To say that he was touched would be an understatement. Something made by Lucy would always be more special than anything.]
