Heyo! So I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for a while and I kinda just left you hanging with Behind The Mask but I'm stumped. In the meantime, I've been finishing up this masterpiece for you guys. It was posted to my other account but I decided to bring it back for old times sake and because I've just recently started working on it again. Hope you guys enjoy!

xXx

"What the fucking hell! Natsu! Get out of my fucking bed you dipshit!" This is a typical morning for me. Wake up, Lucy screams at me. Sitting down, Lucy screams at me. Fuck up in any sort of way, Lucy screams at me. That isn't so unbelievable but still, I'm pretty sure that I would have a lot better hearing if I had never met the one and only Lucy Heartfilia. Groaning into my pillow I turn my head away from the deafening blonde beside me and tried to get back to sleep. That is until I suddenly found myself in mid-air and with no blanket.

"Ooooh, Shit!" I yelled colliding with the floor with a heavy thump.

"Surprise Mutha Fucka!" Lucy shouted with a lazy grin as I sat up on the carpeted floor, rubbing my now bruised shoulder and glaring at the smirking blonde as she flopped back down into her nice, warm, comfy, cozy, where was I going with this? Oh right her bed. Slowly standing, I observed her face and wondered how she would react if I jumped on her. Before I take any course of action, my phone started blaring my ringtone of 'Everybody Talks' by Neon Trees. Lucy groaned and grabbed the pillow I was using and covered her head as a makeshift noise cancellation device. "Nats pick up your fucking phone!" It obviously didn't work. Stalking over to the evil invention that just had to ruin my awesomely planned payback, I picked up my iPhone 6S and answered as politely as I could.

"What?" I whispered harshly.

"Is this a bad time?" Oh shit. Turning around, I placed one of my big tanned hands over the microphone and looked to Lucy with an expression of shock, horror, and confusion. It was my Father. Lucy was currently giggling at something, probably iFunny, and didn't notice I was staring at her until I whisper-shouted a weak 'LUCE!' She immediately looked at me with annoyance for disturbing her iFunny time until she saw my face. Mouthing 'my father.' to her while pointing at the phone she nodded hurriedly and scrambled to get out of bed. 'Natsu? You doing alright?"

"Yeah, dad I'm good." I rasped out trying to contain my laughter at the sight of the clumsy blonde haired college student trying to untangle herself from the pile of bedding that had landed on her while she tried, and failed, to rush out of her bed. Tripping on the edge of her black and grey comforter, Lucy stumbled out but finally managed to make it over to where I was standing. "So what do you need to talk about at…" Checking my phone for the time, "7:34 in the morning?" I finished placing my phone back to my ear.

"Oh well, mom and I were wondering when you'd be home? I know that it's not winter break yet but we can't wait to see you." Oh my fucking god. Could my father act any gayer? I looked to Lucy only to see she wasn't next to me but rather in the kitchen brewing a pot of coffee. "By we I mean her and by you, we mean a girlfriend." W-w-wait, back up. What the fuck did he just say? Girlfriend? That old bastard is only looking for an excuse to embarrass me. Fuck him.

"Dad you kn-"

"Natsu! What do you want for breakfast?!" Lucy shouted from the kitchen, rudely interrupting my sentence.

"Luce I'm on the phone!" I shouted back to her but instantly regretted saying anything. I didn't cover the fucking microphone. My father just heard everything and now I'm going to have to explain everything. If he knows the truth, I won't be able to live this down for months.

"Natsu, I am interrupting something?" my dad asks with a certain hint of knowing that just made me want to punch that smug look I knew was placed on his face. If there is one thing I absolutely can't deal with, is my father AND my mother on my back for 'lying' to them when it's them that jump to the wrong conclusion first. As you can tell this situation has occurred to me, me in particular, many times before. "Natsu?"

"Yeah, I'm here just hold on a second old man," I said frustratedly into my phone. If I didn't tell Luce what I wanted now that I most definitely am not going to be eating breakfast today. Thinking about that possibility made my poor empty stomach growl in protest. "Hey, Luce just make me the works, please. And DO NOT drench my pancakes in hot sauce like last time!" I huffed in annoyance when I heard the faint crackle of my father's laughter coming through the receiver at the top of my phone. That bastard actually thought that was funny. Just as I was about to cuss my dad out, I heard the familiar melody of Lucy's laughter ringing in from the kitchen. I couldn't help but smile at the sound. No matter what that bitch does, I can never stay mad at her for long.

"I swear Nats... I thought... it was... the syrup." The blonde wheezed from lack of oxygen.

"Are you kidding me? I watched you when you picked the bottle up! You looked at the logo for 5 minutes straight before emptying it onto a perfect stack of pancakes." I whined childishly. Even though I still get pissed about the entire event, Luce and I both know I don't really care all that much about it. Why we're still talking about it with my dad on the phone? I've got no clue- Oh Fuck, my dad! Bringing my phone back up to my ear, I could hear my dad's howling laughter even though I can assume his phone was clutched in his hand by his side. One thing you should know about my father. Whenever he laughs, he throws his whole body into it. It's actually quite funny to see because his face wrinkles up and his head is thrown back while he doubles over and dies from laughter. He has the kind of laugh that would make everyone else laugh even if he only thought it was funny.

"Alright, dad thanks so much for your love and compassion," I said sarcastically. Just as I was about to speak again, guess who decided breakfast was ready? Let me give you a hint. Gorgeous tan, long flowing golden blonde hair, about 5'4", and has a voice that can shatter glasses. That's right, our very own Lucy Ashley Heartfilia.

"Hey fireboy, breakfast's ready! Come in and eat it before I inhale it!" She shouted from the kitchen.

"I'm coming! Jesus woman, can't you wait 5 goddamn minutes?!" I yelled, this time covering the microphone with my hand, though I doubt that it did anything useful. "Look, dad, I really have to go. Luce wasn't kidding about eating my food. I gotta go." I said about to take my giant ass phone away from my ear. But before I could, I heard the sounds of my father's protests.

"Wait Natsu."

"Yeah?"

"Is she…" I had to think thoroughly about how I was going to answer my dad's question. What did you call a friendship that Luce and I shared? We definitely weren't just friends, but we weren't dating either. I mean I think it's quite clear to me that she is somewhat attracted to me. As for her. I find absolutely no shame in admitting that I am completely and utterly in love with my best friend. I've known for months, and every single waking moment I think about her and how to make her happy. Hell, I even dream about her being happy. Basically, she's on my mind 24/7, but I have no problem whatsoever. I figured out my answer then and there.

"Yes."
