Arranged in a sudden marriage

Chapter 8

Monday was Monday. Mr. Gildarts was gone. Lucy

went to all her classes feeling tired for no good

reason besides Natsu. He looked at her in classes,

walked with her. He even budded in at lunch. It's

not like she could avoid him, in truth she didn't

want to but he made her so nervous all the time.

She had accepted the fact that she would never

stop blushing, at least not with Natsu around.

The two of them had just gotten back to their new

house and Lucy threw her backpack full of

homework on one of the couches. Turns out

Natsu's parents picked up both his and Lucy's

stuff and brought it to them while they were at

school. Natsu just disappeared from the doorway

and repapered in front of the TV and began to play

games. It was funny; he was teasing her more

than usual today. It took a lot of willpower to not

jump on him right then and there. She sat down on

a chair in the living room to do her homework so

she could work on her book later.

"Natsu, aren't you going to do your homework?"

He looked at her like she was crazy, "No way! I'll

do it later. Or tomorrow…"

Lucy scowled but decided to let it go. It was his

choice. Let him fail. Later they unpacked the rest of

their things. Lucy couldn't help but smile a little at

seeing the house look like a house. Natsu walked

into the bedroom.

He looked at her and asked, "Why are you

smiling?"

"Because I'm happy, dummy."

Natsu looked at her funny then just shrugged his

shoulders and got into bed with her. Lucy didn't

object. She liked it when he slept next to her. He

was so warm and he smelled like ash and smoke.

Lucy snuggled into Natsu's arms and could feel

his smile on the back of her head. Her heart sped

up and she almost turned around to kiss him.

Almost.

Tuesday in first hour Natsu and Lucy were

laughing and talking before class started. Mr.

Gildarts walked in and saw them. Since he wasn't

there yesterday he about passed out seeing the

former enemies sitting there with smiles on their

faces. Lucy giggled and pointed out to Natsu their

open mouthed teacher. Natsu chuckled.
