AN: 5/6/18 - 5 years have passed since I wrote these prompts and I felt my writing has progressed. Since I made an account on AO3 and wish to crosspost S&S there, I took the liberty to polish these fanfics up to match my current writing style (also I deleted the original drafts and had no choice but to rewrite them). If you are new to S&S, welcome and I hope you enjoy! If you are a returning reader, you'll noticed some differences, but no drastic changes. I think they're for the better. So without further ado, here is my pride and joy that got me back into writing fanfiction!

Hey everybody! Well, I decided to try my hand at Fairy Tail fanfiction and this is the result. This is for tumblr's NaLu Week using the free prompt "School." I also decided to change it around from the norm and make Lucy a teacher and Natsu her (adult) boyfriend. I didn't bother to put his occupation so he can be whatever you want him to be! I hope everyone enjoys this!

"Remember, class: when writing a story, you need a rising action, climax, the falling action, and then—"

Knock knock

Lucy stopped her lecture to give the door a curious look. 'Who could that be?' she wondered.

"Come in!" she called to the visitor.

"Open the door!" came the muffled reply. Lucy and her students all exchanged confused glances before one student who was closest to the door stood up and opened it.

All eyes widened when they saw a person carrying a gigantic bouquet of different arrangements of flowers. However, Lucy recognized, this wasn't just any person…

"Natsu?" she prompted and lo and behold, her boyfriend's rose-colored hair popped up and out of the flowers' way as he grinned at the writing teacher.

"Hey, Lucy." He said, "Surprised?"

She could hear the giggles and whispers of her students and gave the man a stern glare.

"Very; but that's not the point. Why are you here?"

Natsu raised an eyebrow at her, "To give you flowers, duh! I would have had the store deliver them to you, but they said something about not doing deliveries and how the school 'frowns upon it,' or something stupid like that. Well that doesn't matter anyways; here you go!"

Lucy sighed and rolled her eyes. Honestly, this wasn't very professional…

She looked to his face, seeing the excitement radiating off of him before looking at the bouquet again. It really was a sweet gesture… Despite herself, Lucy's face broke into a smile as her cheeks flushed.

"Well, thank you Natsu, that's very sweet of you—"

Lucy was interrupted by a shrill squeal, jolting her out of the moment, "Awwww! How romantic is that?!" Looking at the faces of her students (some with dreamy looks in their eyes while others were suggestive), the high school teacher remembered where she was and cleared her throat.

"T-Thank you once again, Mr. Dragneel. If you would, please take these home and I will see you this afternoon."

"Oh. Sure Lucy," Natsu said nonchalantly, obviously not catching his girlfriend's no-nonsense tone. Before she could protest, he leaned in to give her a quick peck on the cheek then proceeded to make his way out the door with the flowers. Once gone, her students erupted into a frenzy.

"Oooooh, Miss Lucy has a boyfriend!"

"He is such a sweetheart! I wish my boyfriend was like that!"

"What the hell? Why do teachers show PDA? This is unfair man!"

"Have you two banged yet?"

"Enough!" Lucy cried, her face a brilliant shade of red, "Let us forget about this and move on with our lesson. No more questions about my person and love life—especially of the inappropriate kind! Do I make myself clear?"

There were some groans, but in the end the teenagers complied.

When Lucy returned to her home that afternoon, she noticed Natsu was in the kitchen cooking dinner (stir-fry she believed). She also noticed the large bouquet of flowers were separated into three vases ('How much did that big arrangement even cost?' she wondered).

"Hey, Lucy!" he called when he noticed her walk in, "Dinner will be ready in a few. Just give me a couple more—"

"We need to talk."

Natsu instantly stopped what he was doing and stared at his girlfriend. Oh no, what did he do now? Usually when she says that they "need to talk," it meant that she was very unhappy with something he did or did not do.

So the question is, what did he do or not do this time?

"About your 'special' delivery," she clarified when she noticed the panicked look on his face. Natsu still didn't ease up though.

"What about it? Don't you like the flowers?" he asked, pouting. Lucy thought he looked cute, but didn't dwell on it for long.

"I loved the flowers! I think you are the most thoughtful man I have ever met! However," she said when she noticed he was about to say something to her, "what I didn't particularly like was that you interrupted my class and riled up all my students."

When she finished, Natsu took a cautious step toward her, "Sooo, are you mad at me or not? Because I can't really tell from your explanation."

Lucy smacked her forehead and let out an exasperated sigh, "I'm not mad at the fact you got me flowers. However, the next time you want to surprise me with something, either do it during my planning period or after school, okay? It was really embarrassing having my kids ask me a lot of personal questions."

He nodded, "Alright, I promise not to do it again."

"Thank you," she said before leaning her head up to his to give him a nice, long kiss. They stayed like that for a while before a burning scent reached their noses.

"What's that?" Natsu asked as he tried to look around for the source of the smell.

"Oh my God, Natsu, the food!" Lucy screeched as she pointed behind him to the fire burning on the pan.

"Oh shit!"

The next day, Lucy was grading papers when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," she called. When she raised her head to see who her visitor was, she was met with the sight of her boyfriend offering her a paper bag with the logo of her favorite fast food chain.

"Hey," Natsu greeted her. "Figured I'd bring you lunch. This is your planning period, right?" he asked as he swept his eyes across the empty room.

Lucy nodded and stated her affirmation before she took the bag, "Thank you so much, but you honestly don't have to do this."

Natsu waved his hand and opened his own paper bag as said, "Consider it my apology for yesterday."

"Well, still, this makes two sweet things in a row. Are you sick or something?"

She couldn't help but laugh at his feigned hurt expression. He pouted and said, "Aww, come on, Luce. Can't a guy do something nice for the love of his life?"

That got a blush out of her, but she didn't back down as she smirked at him and said, "Not unless he wants something out of it. Would you like me to do something for you?"

Natsu mirrored her smirk, "I can think of a couple of things you could do…"

The comment was very suggestive and Natsu expected Lucy to hit him or reprimand him for such indecency in her workplace, but he was met with her still smirking face and a wink instead.

"We'll talk at home."

He barked out a laugh and leaned in for a kiss, which Lucy was all too happy to give him. It started out slow and sweet, but then transitioned into passionate as Natsu boldly licked the seam of Lucy's lips, asking for entrance. The blonde complied, allowing their innocent kiss to deepen into something more intimate. The two were so caught up in their moment; they had failed to hear the door swing open. A group of shocked gasps had them quickly moving apart as they stared wide-eyed at some teenagers who openly stared at them.

There was an uncomfortable pause before one kid finally snapped out of it. He pointed an accusatory finger at the couple.

"PDA!" he shouted.

"Oh my God is that the wonderful and perfect boyfriend the other class was talking about yesterday? This is unfair, I want one of those!"

"Oh no, he's hot!"

"Miss Lucy, have you no shame?"

"Get it girl!"

The flustered writing teacher sprang from her chair and fumed, "Get out, get out, get out! You all know this is my planning period, so you kids shouldn't even be n here! Leave now!"

Laughing, the students ran out the door to escape their teacher's wrath. While Lucy was still seething, she managed to notice Natsu about to walk out the door as well, a sulking aura surrounding him. She rolled her eyes and pulled him back in.

"Not you, you nitwit!"

His eyes lit up, "I can stay?"

She giggled, "Yes, you can stay, but only for…" she checked her watch, "thirty more minutes."

"That's perfect!" he said, bouncing back into his chair to continue eating his lunch.

Lucy shook her head and smiled as she joined him. He wasn't the most conservative person, but really now, Lucy wouldn't have it any other way.

After all, that is what she loves most about him.

AN: I hope everyone has enjoyed this. Leave a review and tell me what you all thought about it. Expect more in the near future!
