Language:

"Just F*** off," Cobra growled as Natsu leapt at him for the tenth time that hour. "I'm not going to fight a numbskull like you. Come find me when you've figured out how to even land a hit."

Lucy felt a pang of sympathy for the dragon slayer as he sat at the bar, but at the moment she was babysitting Asuka. Her priorities were clear.

Covering the girl's ears as another profanity laden tirade filled the air due to Natsu's eleventh attack, Lucy waited for a break in the sentence before yelling: "Watch your LANGUAGE. There are CHILDREN here that don't need to hear that."

He glared at her. "I can think of one brat that needs to hear it if it will get through his thick skull. So back off and let me handle this unless you want to do something about it."

Huffing in frustration, Lucy watched as the twelfth attack commenced. Having been Natsu's partner for years, she knew that he wouldn't stop until he was physically incapable of moving. Even Laxus was a victim of Natsu's constant pleas for fights, and he was the best at putting Natsu on the floor without exerting any effort at all. Cobra was more of an issue, since he couldn't use his magic without destroying large parts of his surroundings or hurting bystanders. He at least has that amount of common courtesy. However, being beaten in a simple hand to hand fight wasn't satisfying enough for Natsu. Not by a long run.

Seeing her open her mouth to start another tirade after his latest bout of swearing, Cobra glared at her. "Don't complain about it Blondie if you're not willing to do anything about it. If it bothers you so much, take the kid and go somewhere else."

Marching over to him, Lucy placed her hands on her hips and shouted back: "Call be my my f****** name dimwit! And if he's being a problem, fix it!"

As she turned to walk away, she saw Asuka staring at her, eyes wide. Realization dawned, and she heard Cobra fall off his barstool laughing. Her chin held high, she marched over to Asuka, picked the girl up, and left the guild hall. They'd go for a paddle in the pool, where she could explain that such language was only to be used by people who are both adults and extremely irritated. After that, she'd throw herself at Bisca and Alzack's feet and beg for forgiveness. She liked babysitting Asuka.

Hopefully her language error wouldn't take that away from her.

***Hi guys! Well, this is kinda short, but I thought it would be funny. It's partially inspired by some dialogue in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Anyone who saw the movie would get the reference. As of right now, none of the stories are connected, and I'm exploring different takes on the relationship between these two, so they may get a bit odd at times. But I had a lot of fun writing them, so I hope you have fun reading!***
