Never

Natsu Dragneel

That was his name, the one that belonged to the pink (even though he insisted it was salmon) hair idiot. That was currently crouching on the window side, half way entering his best friends' house. That is Lucy Heartfilla, who was bathing in dreams in the bed she claimed to be her own. He didn't know when or what happened but as soon as he entered he was captured by the sight of the blonde beauty, hair splayed across her pillow and cover tangled with her limbs. The moonlight gently touched her face highlighting the features.

Blushing madly, Natsu forced himself to look away deciding to get off of the side and hover above the bed. He stared intently at his best friend, his heart pounding into his ribs making it hurt to breath. What was this sudden feeling, pooling in the bottom of his stomach? Was it normal? Well what ever it was he decided he liked it, the way it heated his body up and all.

Inching closer to her face, he noticed the small things about her like how her breath was small and soft, smelling of vanilla and sweet. Also the way her lips were rosy pink and slightly open, looking so tempting to kiss that Natsu was questioning if it was wrong to do so. However he decided against it and leaned back.

Letting out an annoyed sigh, he went to turn around and head towards the window for exit. However his actions were stopped by arm grasping onto his scarf. Scared to turn around encase the blonde had woken up from her slumber, he peered his head over his shoulders caution about what she would do to him fearing a Lucy kick. However his expression went from fear to shock as she was still asleep, eyes closed and breathing accompanied by a soft snore. She was defiantly asleep. Defiantly. Excepting that fact he tried gently to release his scarf from her tight grasp, it seemed like God had different plans. Suddenly the girl spoke "Don't … don't go, please?" She said it in such a soft tone that any one who heard would believe it was a voice of and angel. There was no way he would leave her now, he smiled at the fact that he was so weak when it came to her. Climbing gently into bed with her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and shoulders bringing her head to settle in his chest. This is where he belonged and couldn't help but think that he will never stop protecting this girl, answering tiredly he placed his head on the pillow ,his eyes drifting closed "Never."
