NaLu - Can I Ask You Something?

"Natsu!" Lucy came running over to her pink haired friend with a smile.

"Oh, hey Lucy!" Natsu grinned widely. Happy wasn't there as the cat was busy out fishing somewhere.

"Natsu," Lucy panted from running, wiping some sweat off her forehead "guess what!"

Natsu thought for a moment. "Did you… have surgery?"

"No, you dumbass! I got me and you a job! We get 20,000 jewels, I get a celestial spirit key, and there's free food!"

"Aw, yeah!" Natsu fist pumped "free food! Uh, what about Erza, Gray, and Happy?"

"I thought it could be just like old times! You, me, and Happy. It's not a big job," Lucy shrugged.

"Let's go get Happy then!" Natsu cheered.

Lucy smiled even wider and started running off, expecting Natsu to follow.

"Uh, Lucy?"

Lucy stopped for a moment and looked back at Natsu. "Huh?"

"Can I asked you something?"

Lucy's heart pounded in her chest. Was he…? No, he couldn't be, could he? "Um… sure…"

"Cool!" he ran a hand through his pink spiky hair, slightly more fidgety than usual. "Would you…"

The blonde celestial wizard was scared. He really was going to ask her out, wasn't he. What would she say? Would she say no?

"... lend me 300,0000 jewel? I destroyed another building, ha ha!"

"YES!" then Lucy stood there, dumbfounded "wait, wha…?"

"Great! Thanks Lucy, I knew I could count on you!" Natsu started to walk away to find Happy.

Lucy stood there, completely frozen on the spot. "That was my rent money…" she muttered in shock.
