Chapter one- In the beginning

Lucy Heartfilia –

The morning light started to break through the gap in the curtains into Lucy's room, leaving a golden strip running down her sleep-full face. She could already hear the children playing outside her window. That's when she noticed something different, there was heat radiating all around her body and she felt a weight across her waist. She looked over to see none other than her pink haired friend next to her. Lucy was used to him being asleep in her bed but normally he would have his back to her or leave a distant gap between them or worse he would push her onto the floor, but he had her cuddled up to his chest. By now she would normally scream at him and punch him in the face or give one of her infamous Lucy kicks….but she couldn't do it. In all fairness she did invite him to her house for the night as she promised a certain blue cat she would take care of him. Master Makarov sent his best friend/ roommate/ partner of on a secret mission on his own for the next two weeks. She still remembered the cat's words…..

"He doesn't like to be on his own for long periods of time so pwease Lucy let him stay at yours"

"He will just wreck my house and I will have no food again my house will be burnt to the ground….NO WAY" Lucy argued. The cat couldn't help but smirk

"But he's your partner and best friend please do this for me and I promise I won't steal the fish out your fridge anymore"

"Wait, that was you! You little thieving bastard! Do you know how much fish cost these days?" Lucy couldn't hid her anger but after seeing the look of terror on his face she calmed down "okay fine" Relief whipped over his face

"Another thing don't tell him that I asked you it would hurt him just invite him to stay round out of the kindness of your heart"

"You'r asking for a lot but fine"

"Hey guys what are you talking about?" Lucy heard the voice and the an arm across her shoulders only one person this could be

"Hey Natsu" They both said in unison. Natsu turned to his beloved blue cat and looked all sad and did a childish pout

"Do you have to go Happy, or can't I come with I'm sure Gramps can trust me with this secret mission"

Happy really wanted Natsu to come but Mater said only he could carry out this mission and was to tell no one "Natsu I have to do this im sure you'll be fine…" before the Happy could finish Lucy butted in..

"Plus Natsu I was goanna offer you can stay at mine anytime you want I know it can get lonely at times plus I just restocked my fridge" Natsu looked stunned by Lucy's offer she was offering him to stay in her house as well as food, was she feeling okay? He couldn't help but smile at the request

"Yeah Luce sounds like fun"

"See Natsu you'll be fine. I've got to go now if I'm going to get to my first destination by nightfall" The cat began to fly out of the guild when Natsu stopped him.

"Be safe Happy" Happy turned to smile back at his friend

"Aye Sir"

… She turned ever so slightly so she was face to face with him. She examined how his pink bangs were hanging into his eyes and she only just noticed that he was shirtless. Natsu started to smile in his sleep. He was so cut in his sleep she couldn't help but let out a silent giggle. Suddenly there was movement, Oh no what if I woke him and he opens his eyes to see me right next to his face he will freak out for sure. Natsu didn't wake but surprisingly he pulled Lucy closer to him so her head was resting on his shoulder, their legs became entwined and both hands were on her body. Lucy was frozen solid with a scarlet red blush painted across her cheeks. She couldn't understand why she wasn't stopping him cuddle her? Was she enjoying his warmth? This was weird no matter how close of friends they were? Before her mind could overthink she felt straight asleep.

Lucy woke again to find she was on her bedroom floor, this was more like Natsu. She blushed again at the thought of how he cuddled her but she didn't want to tell him about that. That would be weird. She got to her feet and stretched her back out. The floor really wasn't comfy. Natsu however was still fast asleep. No surprise. She made her way to the bathroom and took a shower; she kept questioning herself why did she blush when he cuddled her? Why didn't she resist?. Outside the door she could hear Natsu stirring he would be awake soon.

She walked out of the bathroom to find him sitting cross legged on her bed beaming a bright smile at her "Good Morning Luce" This made her laugh.

"Good morning pfft I remember last night I left you on the floor and this morning I wake up to find myself on the floor and you in my bed" she gave him the most evil stare she could conjure

"but Luce your bed is soooo comfy" He said whilst face planting a pillow" Lucy tried to hide a smile from his childish remarks

"huh whatever, we should get going to the guild"

The two walked into the guild greeted with a cheer of good mornings. Well besides from one. The perverted Gray Fullbuster had to make his first snide comment to Natsu for the day "Hey fire cunt enjoy your first night at your girlfriends" Gray couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Ive stayed at Lucys before you icy prick so shut up and put some clothes on" Everyone in the guild laughed. Gray embarrassed. Next thing they were head to head screaming at each other than the first punch was threw and Natsu turned to flames and then we couldn't see the rest just limbs flying about. The first fight of the day, already. Next Elfman joined in "This is a man fight" then one by one guild members joined in.

Lucy rolled her eyes and sat down with her dearest friends. Levy was deeply reading a book with her wavy blue hair falling into her face. Erza was eating strawberry cake at this time in the morning. Lucy was always envious of her natural scarlet hair. Then there was Juvia whom was staring at the fight her mouth kept mouthing the word "Gray". There was also Gajeel who was just watching levy read Lucy could see a small smile on his face.

"Morning everyone" Lucy shouted across her table of friends. They all greeted her same back with bright smiles. Lucy was sat down next to Juvia whom didn't notice her arriving at all as she was too fixated on Gray. Mira came over to the table with a drink for Lucy.

"Morning Lucy"

"Morning Mira"

"so….. you excited for next week?" She questioned but Lucy just looked puzzled which startled Mira. "It's the Fair Tail yearly Ball don't say you forgot" Shit. She completely forgot. "You have to go it will be your first ball this year"

"Yeah of course I'm going" Now her mind was in a spiral of thoughts what was she to wear, what happens at these things so many unanswered questions.

"Of course we will need to find you a date"

"a-a-a …..date?" she stuttered. At this precise moment Natsu walked over to her cursing Gray and brushing himself off.

"Yes you and Natsu could go together" Mira was chuffed with her idea she had been secreatly matching everyone in the guild together and giving everyone a slight push to go with that person to the ball. Lucy turned to look at Natsu who looked confused. As usual. Her whole face turned tomato red.
