Pu-pupun! Pun! PUuun!

[ This is the sound of a certain celestial spirit who, in his attempt to wake Lucy, managed to turn on her communicator. For Lucy's part, she appears to have fallen asleep at her desk. Not a very good position for her back, really, but when hey, she was tired and didn't exactly PLAN on falling asleep there.

There's a smile on her face as she sleeps, and when Plue shoved at her arm to try and wake her again, she shifted, that arm absently batting at him - accidentally knocking him and several of her books off of the desk. Lucy murmurs something in her sleep, oblivious to Plue's cries of distress as the poor spirit was effectively half buried under the books. ]

P-PUWAH!! Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

[ Plue sure would appreciate it if someone was nice enough to wake Lucy up so she could free him from the pile of literary doom.

...

Or you can be really evil and tell her she was drooling, snoring, or saying things in her sleep after she wakes up. :3 ]

[ A little from column A and a little from column B, more than likely. Also he had Erza to smack him with a clue by four, whereas Lucy was clinging to her denial. Even though that grip was getting weaker by the day. Also, she overthought things Waaaaaaaaaaay too much, and that worked against her. ]

[ Plue watched Natsu carefully, all but holding his breath - or seeming to - and wiped a paw across his brow when Natsu freed himself successfully. BOY WAIT TILL HE TELLS VIRGO-- no wait, that would be horrible. Virgo would enjoy teasing Lucy way too much. ~~Which of course is all the more reason to do it.~~ ]

[ At Natsu's question, the little spirit saluted him again, nodding firmly. ]

Pupuun! [ He then made an 'oops' gesture, glancing to Lucy, but all she did was shift a little in her sleep with a quiet chuckle, curling her hands a little. Good dreams one supposes. ]

[It was funny really. He was apparently the densest when it came to these things so naturally he had all the support to deal with it. And yet he also adapted to it the fastest out of the two of them. From bolting out the window in confusion to actually being calm while she held him close and looked so beyond alluring. Gildarts would either be proud or hit him for not taking advantage. Maybe a mix of both.]

Shhhhh

[Quickly holds his finger to his lips at Plue's answer and he looks over to Lucy. Who barely seems to stir. Wow he really did knock her out with that one word didn't he? Well he exhaled again in relief and walked over to Plue to pet the top of the spirit's head]

Okay. You watch over her for me. Make sure she doesn't fall out of bed or kick her blankets off or anything like that.

[He knows her sleeping habits better than she would probably like. Still with that he straightens up and heads over to the window. Might as well leave through the way he came in.]

[ Because he was so dense, he needed that extra help, naturally. Lucy would be proud of herself for not taking advantage of Natsu himself, given that temptation that had been there to kiss him and all. Worse, to do so and not let go. ]

[ Not wanting to risk waking Lucy again, the celestial spirit nods reassuringly at Natsu. Don't worry, he'll protect her while you're gone! ... not ... that he can really do anything beyond run back to the spirit world and get Loke or someone if something DID happen. ]

[ Although because fate ~~and coins~~ conspire against Natsu at every turn, as he's starting to climb out the window, there's a grumbled noise from the bed. ]

..natsu?

[ Quick, ignore the voice and dive out the window anyway, maybe she'll think she imagined the whole thing. Though if Natsu did turn around, Lucy would be propping herself up against an elbow, rubbing at her eyes. Figures the Sleep spell only lasted a few seconds. Betcha didn't know it was a timed event. :I ]

How many times do I have to tell you to stop climbing in my window?

[ D'aww, she thinks that you'll ever stop climbing - wait she thinks Natsu was climbing in and not out. Ahaa, if she only knew. ]

[Hey at least he's coming around to it now. You're still in denial. Which is worse I ask you?]

[And he almost made it out too. Thought thankfully his current body posture suggested that he had indeed just climbed THROUGh the window from the outside instead of just skipping out after helping her to bed and almost kissing her again.]

[Okay quick moment of pause looking there like a deer in the headlights before managing to come up with a story.]

Awww why do you have to be so cold every time, Lucy? We're partners aren't we?

[Choice of words is actually intentional this time. At least in one case.]

[ The jury is still out on that one. While he's doing his best impression of the deer in headlights, Lucy sits up a bit, pushing a hand through her rumpled hair, sighing. That choice of words - it sinks in and she finds herself blushing a little. After that weird dream - bwuah. Focus Lucy, focus. ]

O-Of course we are, but what does that have to do with you sleeping in my bed? [ She glances over at Plue, who just seems somewhat awkward for some reason. Man what's hIS problem? She pulls the spirit onto her lap to reassure him. It's okay mommy and daddy are just squabbling like normal. It's one of many ways how they show their love - I mean -- wait. ]

[Hey at least she's buying it.]

But I can't help it. It's the best place to sleep in. It's soft, warm and smells nice.

[And it has Lucy in it. But totally not drawing that conclusion consciously just yet.]

[ Well it's not that far fetched :3 ]

You manage well enough in your own bed the other nights I don't wake up with you here. [ Huffy, she points. ]

How would you like it if I came barging in your room and climbed in your bed while you were sleeping?

[ No comment. Also, barging into your home and cleaning it is -totally- different. ]

[True it isn't. All the better for him.]

Says who? Sure I can sleep but it's not the best. And that's only cause you get so upset every time so I gotta let you have it to yourself sometimes.

[Oh hell yes it counts.]

I wouldn't mind at all.

[That was a quick and steadfast answer]

[ Well jeez, she feels a little bad knowing he didn't sleep that well. But still, there had to be an alternative to climbing into h...wait what. ]

... [ She really didn't expect that answer. Give her a second, as she fumbles through a response. ]

You... W-well, that's - That's because you're weird.

[ He said that -way- too easily. ]

[Not that unexpected he's the one who is doing it already by coming to your room you know.]

[Tilting his head to the side as you fumble with the answer.]

Doesn't make it any less true. We're talking about what I'd do. Not about why I'd do it.

[....and that ladies and gentlemen was the sound of the universe grinding to a halt at Natsu's use of wit.]

[ Quite quite true. ]

W.. [ And that is the sound of the gears in Lucy's head grinding to a halt at Natsu's response. What the ... did he seriously just... ]

... you... can't be serious. [ She exhales, exasperated. She can't deal with your weird wit. ]

[Oh he did. He's been learning by being around you and your books.]

I am. But that's not important now. You need to go back to sleep. I'll go back now since you woke up before I could sneak in under the covers.

[A likely story but not the full story.]

[ She's impressed! Or will be when she's done being stunned by that response. She huffs a little, moving Plue to the side. ]

All right. I- I'll see you in the morning. [ Considering he was always climbing into her bed she shouldn't be surprised that he'd say he wouldn't mind if she climbed in his bed. Bravado she'd bet. She -should- climb in his bed one of these nights and then gloat when he freaked. Oh the look on his face would be -hilarious-. It'd be worth the embarrassment. ]

[That huffy puffy look on her is just so funny to him. Still he's glad she agrees with his suggestion.]

I'll come pick you up a little later than usual. Since you worked so hard you passed out.

[Aaaand that's where he puts his foot in his mouth.]

Edited 2013-03-31 11:19 (UTC)

[ She flashes him a grin. Always so considerate! ]

Ah thanks, but I don't want to sleep too la--

[ ...wait a second. How would he know she passed out if he was just climbing in the window now? For that matter.. hadn't she been at the desk when she fell asleep? ]

How did you know that...?

Eh?

[Oh crap. Oh no no no no he said it.]

Ahahaha lucky guess? You always work so hard on your writing. Anyways I'll be goin now.

[And bolting out the window before she can connect the dots and confront him about it.]

[ That escape is highly suspicious. ]

O-Oi! Natsu-!!

[ She sits up again, but he's already out the window by the time she's gotten to the second syllable of his name. Darnit. Well he knows her habits well enough that his reason could be likely, but somehow...

Eh. She'll just talk to him when she wakes up - provided she remembers. With a huff and a sigh, she curls up on her bed again, muddling through the strange behavior of her... ... her friend before sleep claims her again. ]
