Lucy’s hand reaches for you without really thinking, and then she’s talking without thinking.

“Stay with me tonight?” She asks quietly, as if you’ll turn around and say no immediately. Since the war with Tartaros, Fairy Tail’s disbandment and Natsu leaving for a year, she’s been a little more afraid of you just leaving her too.

Lucy just prefers to have you nearby, in close proximity. You’re all she has left, really. She doesn’t want to lose you too. That’s the last thing she wants.
