DISCLAIMER : I don't own Fairy Tail... Hiro Mashima does!

STANDARD DISCLAIMER APPLIED!

It was another sunny nice morning and someone was taking unusually long to get ready. He once again checked his appearance. His blond hair was done up in spikes jutting in every direction, with a pair framing his face and another pair of strands sitting on top of his head which vaguely resembled animal ears, two studs and a flower shaped earring on his ear, dark suit with unbuttoned jacket, loose pant held up by a light colored belt over a light shirt with a zebra stripped tie around the neck, dark shoes, two rings on the fingers one "X" shaped & the other plain but both had edges in relief and finally he put on his azure-tinted sunglasses. He smiled and thought Yup I look totally dashing and maybe now I won't feel underdressed when I stand next to Lucy.

"How long are you gonna admire yourself Loke?"A familiar voice said.

"I have to be perfect Aries after all it is my first date with Lucy. I want to look perfect."

"Oh come on Loke since when are you thinking of your appearance huh?"

"Well since Lucy became my girlfriend. You know to how much trouble I went through just to make her believe that I am serious about her. But I am happy all that hard work didn't go in vain."

"I know you worked hard and now it's time for you to enjoy the outcome. But if you don't hurry up you will be late."

"Your right so what do you think Aries?" Loke asked turning to face Aries and fixing his sunglasses.

"I think you look perfect and I am sure Lucy-san will think so too."

Loke smiled and got ready to force open his gate just to see the one he yearns for the most. Opening the gate was never a problem he is the king of all the 12 zodiacs after all. But for Loke anything he does for Lucy can never be a problem. It just makes him happy. She would probably be sleeping now. Oh well I think I have to kiss my princess to consciousness and ask her out on a date Loke happily thought all ready to see her beloved Lucy.

As the light faded the Lion's vision became clearer and he went straight to his beloved's room to get his plan in action. But what he saw almost boiled his blood and he just wanted to tear Natsu apart with his bare hands for sleeping with Lucy like that. This habit of Natsu sneaking in Lucy's apartment and sleeping with her though he knew Natsu didn't had any indecent thought of Lucy but still it just made him furious. He was Lucy's boyfriend for god's sake and this is just unacceptable.

And besides Natsu has Lisanna to go to then why did he always end up In Lucy's bed. He really feels INSECURE because of the salamander at times. He couldn't contain his anger anymore and it ended up bursting out like a volcano and poured out on Natsu. He pulled him out the bed and started yelling.

"Oye Natsu haven't I told you not to sleep with Lucy."

"Hmmm….Loke why are you screaming early in the morning. Come you also sleep with me and Luce." A sleepy Natsu mumbled.

"Just shut up and get out you idiot."

"Oh come on Loke you do know I always do it so what's the big deal?"

"Yeah you used to but not anymore Lucy is my girlfriend now. And besides don't you have Lisanna to go to?"

"But she has a lock so I can't sneak in her house and can't eat all I want to unlike at Lucy's house." Natsu whined.

"Then use the freaking door you idiot."Loke was really losing his cool.

"But then that's no fun and besides Lucy gives the best reaction when we barge into her apartment."

"JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE! YOU IDIOT."

"Ok fine you meanie." Natsu pouted and went to the window and before jumping out gave his wide toothy grin and said "Have fun Lucy is great to sleep with." He winked and left.

"JUST SHUT UP YOU BAKA! I'LL KILL YOU FOR SAYING THAT."

Loke sighed and looked to the beauty peacefully sleeping on the bed unaware of her surroundings. He smiled the peaceful expression she had while sleeping was really mesmerizing. But is she that of a sound sleeper that she didn't woke up after all that yelling and everything Loke wondered.

He laid beside her and whispered, "Wake up Princess. Your prince is here." Just then he notices the earplugs in her ear Well that explains. She must have figured out this will happen. It is like a daily morning routine He thought. He sighed and then smirked when an Idea popped into his head. He leaned down and started give Luce butterfly kisses from her neck to her collar bone to her shoulder.

"Mhhhmmmmm…So you and Natsu are done quarrelling?" A sleepy Lucy whispered.

"Yes Princess and it was really smart of you to use earplug." Loke replied and continued kissing.

"Oh I didn't want to abruptly leave my La La Land because of some silly quarrel." She smiled.

"Oh well it was advantageous for me. I got to wake my princess like this." Loke gave his crooked smile.

"A-A-Anyway you are early." A blushing Lucy said looking away and shoved him away gently.

"Well we are going out on a date so go get ready."

"A D-D-Date." Lucy blushed harder. It was her first date and she wanted to look perfect. She got up and glanced at Loke. Wow he looks perfect I should dress appropriately too. I will also look perfect. She thought and stumbled into her bathroom. Loke just lay there with his hands under his head eyes closed and a smile painted on his face he patiently waited for his Princess.

~~~~~A Little While Later~~~~~~

"Sorry I took too long. So how do I look?" Lucy asked nervously.

"Oh its ok I don-" Loke got off the bed and turned to face Lucy but stopped mid sentence and just stared at the blond beauty standing in front of him.

There Lucy stood in all her glory. Her hair was done up in a messy bun with her bangs down(probably done by Cancer) and was wearing a grayish gown which was strapless and showed her beautiful shoulders, it was tight at the waist and showed her slender waist and there was a black ribbon that went around her waist and up to the black rose on her left side of the chest. She was wearing white sandals a little heart shaped pendant, earring and a bracelet and finally to wrap it up she was holding a small black purse.

Seeing Loke's reaction Lucy smirked, walked up to him and tipped his mouth close which was hanging open and very sweetly said "Don't forget to breathe my silly Lion."

Loke got back to reality and just smiled. He was kind of expecting this. Lucy never fails to baffle him. She was the girl that could do wonders to him that no other girl can. That's just one of the many things he liked about her.

He smiled, held out his hand and asked, "Shall we go then?"

"Sure." A smiling Lucy said
