"Hey, dipshit. Wake up."

Natsu groaned as he shoved his face further into his pillow, hoping to block out the noise of Gray's scratchy morning voice out.

"Oi, shithead! I'm talking to you! Get the fuck up!"

It didn't work.

"What the fuck do you want, Gray?" Except Natsu's head was still buried in his fluffy pillow, so it came out as, "Waduhfuhyuwan, gree?"

"Get your lazy ass out of bed. Lucy's coming over!"

"Shit!" Natsu sprung up at the mention of his girlfriend, jumping off the bed, and tripping over the carpet to get to the bathroom.

"Fuck, man, put on some clothes. It's too early in the morning for me to bleach my eyes."

"Bitch please, I know you're enjoying the view."

After brushing his teeth and washing his face (more like rinsing his mouth and getting the remaining water out of his nose), Natsu ran back into his room to change. Why is my room such a dump? It's going to take forever to find decent clothing.

The pinkette whipped his head around, searching for clean clothes. After about a good twenty minutes, he found a decent t-shirt and a pair of day-old jeans. Good enough.

Just then, Gray came out of the shower, half-naked with a towel on his waist and another atop his head.

"Get dressed and look pretty, stripper. The queen is coming."

Gray scoffed. "Like you can even comment on my appearance. You look like you've just gone through hell and back."

Ding Dong!

"Fuck fuck fuck, she's here. Get dressed, and lock the doors. She doesn't need to see any of this," Natsu whispered, gesturing to the general uncleanliness that is his bedroom. He ran down the stairs and to the front door, not waiting for the other's response.

Carefully opening the door, Natsu mentally prepared himself.

"Hey, Luce! What brings you here?"

"Can it, Natsu. You were supposed to meet me at Fairy Tail at nine. I know you just woke up. Tell Gray to get dressed. We're cleaning all of this today."

Natsu visibly deflated at the sight of his girlfriend's angry face. "But Luuuuuce," he whined, "We were supposed to hang out with Gajeel and Levy today."

"Yeah, we were. Until you decided to stay up until six so that you could finish your stupid video games. They already left. We're going to fix this mess of an apartment that you call home."

Natsu pouted, stepping aside to let Lucy in. Gray came down the stairs at the same time, in a tight-fitting, black t-shirt and jeans.

"Hey, Lucy."

Lucy waved and smiled in return. "Gray, do you mind leaving the apartment for today? Natsu and I are going to clean it."

Gray glanced behind Lucy, and took in the sight of the pleading Natsu. He tilted his head, pretending to not be able to decipher the words he was mouthing. That's for calling me a bitch earlier.

"Yeah, sure, no problem, Lucy. I'll go now." Gray strolled past the couple, smirking at the now angry pinkette. "Don't strain anything, princess."

"Fuck you, Gray."

The other male only responded by casually throwing his friend the finger over his shoulder, walking out the door and closing it.

Natsu slowly turned around. "Luce, can we talk about this? I mean, cleaning the entire apartment is impossible, right?"

Lucy only smiled at him. "Get the broom. Now."

I'm so fucked.
