"Uggggggggggggh." Lucy groaned as she and Natsu sat outside at her favorite café, sipping tea. They had their suitcases packed, waiting for Erza, Gray, Gajeel, and Levy to show up so they could be on their way to their much needed vacation. The problem she was having though, was the people watching.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I am going to be single forever!"

"What on earth brought that on?"

"The endless amounts of couples walking by all happy and lovey dovey. Assholes. I'm going to end up a crazy old cat lady."

"No, not a cat lady, you don't have cats. Maybe some weird spinster collector."

"Collector?"

"yeah cause you collect spirits."

"That's not funny."

"Oh c'mon Lucy, you're not gonna be single forever. You could date me." He said, not looking up from the article he was reading, about himself. She laughed though, she knew he was joking. In fact she laughed really hard, almost choking on her tea.

"Okay – stop laughing." He said, placing the magazine down.

"What, it was a joke, I laughed."

"A little too hard. Seriously , am I not boyfriend material?"

"Absolutely not, you're Natsu."

"Okay so , my name apparently has something to do with it. No, like hypothetically, let's say it's a blind date, and you' never met me before and I just showed up at you door and was all 'Hey there hey, I'm Natsu hey'."

"I'd be incredibly disturbed by that fake voice."

"Well if I didn't use that fake – "

"Hey guys, you ready to go?" Erza asked them, wearing a very large hat. She carried about 800 bags with her as always, looking very pleased with herself.

"Yeah where's everyone else?" Lucy asked pushing a stray hair back.

"waiting for you two at the train station."

"What!?" Lucy exclaimed, placing her palm against her face. "We agreed to meet here."

"Yes well we agreed that it would make more sense to meet at the train station. We forgot to mention it to you two."

"How convenient." Natsu muttered, standing up with his and Lucy's bags. He felt a thwack from Lucy and smiled a bit. There was no need for complaining they were going on vacation!

…

Gajeel and Natsu kissed the sandy floor as soon as they got out of the magic cab. They had taken a train which already made them ill, and barely had any time to recover when they were forced into a magic cab. Land was their favorite thing right now, everyone else pointing and laughing. Ridiculing them in fact. The dragonslayers were not to please with this.

On their last job, the owner of the hotel was so pleased that he gave them the keys to his 2 story,4 bed room beach house. It was Erza's idea to take a break from work and go on this vacation, Gray immediately cosigned this. So it didn't shock anyone when Jellal and Juvia were at the train station waiting for them. Even if Gray played it off, everyone knew who invited them.

They ran inside the house, which was flooded with sand. They all sort of gave Erza a blank stare who simply shrugged it off. She was grinning from ear to ear, Jellal poking her cheek a bit.

"Okay so the room situation" Erza began standing on the oversized, L shaped couch. "Who wants to share with who? I mean I wouldn't mind sharing with Jellal so uhm…you know just uhm pick someone and then…pick the room I guess."

"She is as red as her hair." Lucy whispered to Natsu, who laughed lowly at the blonde's joke.

"Gray – sama –"

"Well if you insist Juvia."

"Juvia didn't – "

"Shoosh, let's go find our room."

Lucy laughed at the two of them, as she made her way to Levy's side. The girls exchanged pleasantries and made their way upstairs. Natsu and Gajeel both watching in annoyance as they did this. Like they'd admit as to why. They both exchanged little glares to each other and walked up the stairs, finding a room right across the way from the girls room.

"Hey boys." Levy waved, from her room, unpacking her suitcase. "You excited for the beach time!?"

"oh yeah." Gajeel responded sarcastically. "Can't wait to share a room with this idiot."

"Fuck off, ya metal head!"

"Calm down boys. We're gnna get ready, wait for us and we'll meet you out there."

"What about everyone else Lucy?"

"Well, Natsu, I don't think they'll be joining us anytime soon…" There was an awkward silence around all of them as giggles and cries of pleasure left the other, closed, rooms. "Yeah so we'll see you down stairs."

…

Natsu and Gajeel sat quietly next to each other. They'd been waiting for the girls for about an hour. It was just like them, to take forever and a day to get ready.

Natsu was still peeved at Lucy. He couldn't figure out why dating him was such a joke. Sure he was kidding, but it still stung that she was so against it. He'd date her if she asked. He finds her dateable, why not vice versa? He could hear something hitting the window over and over again, breaking his thought process. Gajeel stood up and opened a window, seeing, rain.

Lots of rain.

"Those dumb girls." He muttered as he pulled back the curtain.

"Guys!" Lucy whined as she came running down the stairs in a pink bikini top, a white cardigan, and a long pink skirt. It was assumed she had bottoms on. Her hair was pulled into, two low ponytails, and her make-up was soft. Natsu was stuck staring at her, sort of ignoring her complaints about the rain. And the fact that everyone else had slowly shown up as well.

"What are we gonna do?" Levy whined, pushing her head down. This breaking Natsu's concentration on Lucy and bringing him back into the real world.

He wasn't sure how long he zoned out for, but everyone look positively bored and annoyed. Except Lucy. She was smiling at him.

"We could play a game."

"What game, Lucy?"

"I don't know jellal a game."

"OH let's play strip poker!" There was a loud groan from all of them, Juvia smacking Gajeel on the arm.

"Gajeel-kun, that is a terrible idea. Who would want to just strip like that – besides you Gray –sama." She said as Gray was raising his hand at her question.

"Well we could just get drunk and do weird stuff with each other." Natsu grinned like an idiot, Lucy hiding her smile from him. There was no collective groan though there was annoyed and distressed sighs even as Levy walked into the kitchen and started making margaritas. The group sort of divided into different spots around the room. Erza and Juvia were sitting at the bar while Jellal and Gajeel helped Levy behind the bar.

Lucy took her seat next to Natsu, leaning on her hand, and sliding her leg up on the couch. Her foot was poking hs thigh, he couldn't help but stare at her again.

"Watchya staring at Dragneel?"

"You."

"How bold."

"Well women tend to like boldness."

"What does that even mean?"

"It means that I am boyfriend material."

"Oh my god, this again!"

"Yes, this again, I will prove to you that I am boyfriend material dammit. I'm not just 'Natsu'. Okay I am great at everything including courting women."

"Oh yeah, okay I'd love to see you try."

"Challenge Accepted." Natsu was so busy staring off into space, plotting his fake courtship of her, to notice that she was laughing at him.

Hey guys Ladymacbetterthanyou here. I just want to write a cute nalu fic with romance and humor. No drama at all so this is the first chapter. This is going to be a super smutty fic though so prepare. I will be writing a Gajevy and Gruvia AU in a bit where they're roommates and all hell breaks loose so look out for that. I think two dramas and two comedies are a good balance so yeah.
