The Hangover from Hell

Date & Time: December 8
Location: Unit 106
Characters: Lucy Heartfilia, Natsu Dragneeel
Summary: Lucy's woken up with the hangover from hell. Natsu crashed on the couch. She has no clue what she did, hahaha, awkwardness ensues.


Lucy's dreams had been plagued with demons. Red haired demons chasing her down a spiraling path, bottles of booze scattered over the floor, tempting her with coaxing 'drink meeeeeeeeeeeee' calls. Yet if she stopped to be tempted, the demon started to catch up. Just as she was sprinting around a corner, she heard the demon howling behind her, hot breath on her neck and she screamed -

Only to wake up with a start and a squeak in her bed, still in her masquerade gown, though her mask has been taken off at least. Rumpled, sleepy, and the slightest sound causing her head to pound like someone was beating on it with a pair of drum sticks, she groggily pushed herself off of the bed.

She was home, so ... she must have made it back somehow. She couldn't remember what had happened the previous night, in all honesty, but it couldn't have been that bad. She hoped. Ugh, she had to cross into the living room, shading her eyes all the way, wanting to head into the bathroom. Had she noticed an extra guest? Nosuh, she hadn't!

Escaping the red demon had been far more taxing than anything else that night. In fact he still couldn't believe that he actually succeeded in staying out of her reach let alone manage to slip into Lucy's room before she could follow. All of it further reinforced the fact that the night had been far worse than the one at the hotsprings.

He hadn't wanted to risk any further misunderstandings so he decided to leave Lucy's clothes on. The mask he placed by the bedside table and he had intended to make his escape. Unfortunately the fatigue in his body caught up and he staggered and tripped his way facefirst onto the couch in said living room. Given Lucy lived there, he immediately picked up her scent from the pillows. That was the finishing blow.

By the time Lucy staggered into the room, Natsu had managed to shrug off the torn tatters of his shirt and coat. So she could basically see him sprawled on top of the sofa, one arm draped haphazardly over his stomach. His mouth was parted slightly as he snored faintly. Her entrance did not get a single twitch or other reaction from the slumbering Dragon Slayer.

Why indeed. Natsu could only wish most of that previous night had been nothing but a very bad and scary dream. Unfortunately for him, he was probably the only one to remember the whole thing. Still it was getting to the point that his consciousness would begin to resurface.

No risk of sending her soaring into the sky this time. His sleep was at the moment dreamless and any dreams prior to that had been a mix of the Red demon and Lucy acting like a cat more than even Happy ever did.

Natsu's closed eyes scrunched up a bit as he started picking up the sounds of activity in the room. Just a few more minutes, is what he would say if he was sufficiently aware at that point.
explodewiththerage: (Wow another wild night)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes most. While he didn't understand that it meant there was no denying some of the events felt...nice to say the least. Though treading down that path of thought was a big biiiig no no at the moment.

Natsu's ears picked the sound of Lucy voice and his eyes started to crack open just enough to let in the first blinding rays of daylight. There was something on him. Something warm and soft. No not THAT kind of warm and soft.

"Mmmm~ Ask?" he repeated groggily before bringing the back of his hand to his eyes to try and wipe the sleep from his eyes.
explodewiththerage: (Dont mind me continue)

It wasn't his head that was pounding from the effect the strong alcohol ingested last night. Even so he pushed himself up into a sitting position. Natsu rubbed his eyes before letting out a long unceremonious yawn.

" 's okay." Natsu actually felt thirsty given he didn't drink anything in several hours but before he could speak up about that, Lucy asked her question.

"That thing?" he said pointing out the torn shreds on the floor. "Erza did it. She kept seeing me as everyone except me, last night."

Natsu felt sorry for his suffering friend. Unfortunately he wasn't familiar with any magical cures for a hangover other than patience and time. He shuffled a bit closer settling himself more comfortably on Lucy's couch.

"Yeah. Erza and you too. You said something about a drinking contest when I found you." Just going to focus on how it all started for now. For the sake of sanity and because his mind wasn't jump starting to 100% all that quickly.
explodewiththerage: (Cheapskate)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-12 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Beats me. I wasn't there or I would've stopped you. By the time I found you, you were already wobbly and all happy" Natsu shrugged before flinching faintly at her other question.

"Depends what you'd find weird..." he answered evasively. How much could he really tell her safely? Not answering wasn't going to help much either plus there was a high chance of someone else bringing up th events from last night.

Natsu raised an eyebrow. Her imagination while sober was wilder than most things she could conjur while intoxicated it seemed. Was this a writer's kind of thing? Natsu didn't know but he had a story to...edit out.

"Nah you didn't do any of that really. Unless you did it before I found you. Or should I say before you found me." Natsu was going to just skirt around the dangerous detail of her pretty much draping herself over him, if that was okay with her.
explodewiththerage: (huh)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-12 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"You stumbled your way around till you found me yea." Natsu said with a faint shrug. Trouble was a term he'd use pretty loosely for the most part. "Well it wasn't really that bad. You just fed me some kind of party treat." The long cookie incident was one of those conflicting memories of the night he would try to leave out.

"After that we started walking around trying ot find Erza before she got drunk. We didn't find her if that wasn't obvious."
explodewiththerage: (Shy)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-13 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
For some reason he finds himself also averting his eyes a bit. Seems while he managed to not mention the other incident, his mind was not so compliant as he remembered just how close they had been before the snap.

"Yeah...I'll try to keep you far away from any next time" Natsu offered with a half laugh. Why was this getting so awkward? Oh hey distraction.

"Probably still passed out in her room where I managed to drag her. If not I'd be dead by now." He visibly shuddered. He's gonna have hell to pay after the accidents between himself and his red haired demon of a friend.
explodewiththerage: (Bored~)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-14 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Demons huh? Only one matching that description was their red haired friend that had chased them all the way back to the complex. Still that wasn't something he wanted to think about right now. And lucky for him the perfect distraction presented itself.

"Yea something to eat sounds good. But you sure you can handle it so soon?" After all he's seen plenty of people with hangovers and a lot of them weren't exactly a nice sight to behold for the first few hours.
explodewiththerage: (Bored~)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-14 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
An awkwardness that he fully had to endure since hello he didn't have the convenient forgetfulness induced by the drinks from last night. Natsu was feeling fairly peckish so after stretching his arms towards the ceiling he shuffled after Lucy.

"Anything I can help with?" That was only half true since his main priority was to make sure Lucy wouldn't hurt herself while trying to put together the meal she had in mind.
explodewiththerage: (Serious)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-14 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah most likely. Only with potentially more destruction since his power could easily destroy without him comanding it consciously.

Natsu watched Lucy closely. At least closing the curtains was still within her ability. He was kind of reconsidering the whole cooking thing though. Lucy should probably still recover for a bit, yet here she was trying to cook for the two of them.

"Plates. Got it." he said and quickly headed over to the shelf reaching up with ease taking two plats stacked one on top of the other.
explodewiththerage: (Dont mind me continue)

[personal profile] explodewiththerage 2012-12-14 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Didn't know getting drunk gave you sharper hearing than a Dragon slayer's." Natsu teased with a roll of his eyes before *quietly* setting the plates on the table. With that task out of the way, Natsu once again watched Lucy. No she was definitely not in any state to cook.

It would seem this was one of those times when he had to act like a good team mate. So Natsu rolled up his metaphorical sleeves and walked up next to Lucy.

"I got an idea. Why don't you tell me what you wanted to make and I'll do the cooking." With her instructing him it wouldn't be possible for disaster to occur right?
