Thank you for Reading! :D

Lucy yawned and stretched as sunlight hit her eyes. Rubbing them and sitting up she sat, quiet for a moment before remembering something. Natsu?! I thought he was bringing me to the guild, why am I in bed? She paused, pondering this before finally getting out of bed. Oh well, I might as well get ready to go on this fair trip… Lucy pulled open her walk in closet filled with outfits and flipped through them. I guess this'll do. Lucy mumbled in her thoughts. She pulled out a strapless, bright yellow dress adorned with sparkles at the top half. She pulled it on, and spread it out as it lie comfortably on her legs, ending at her mid-thigh(the dress wasn't tight fitting and fanned out sort of like a skirt). She scouted out a pair of white, sparkly high heels and slipped them onto her porcelain colored feet.

Clicking into her bathroom, she made different faces in the mirror before deciding she needed makeup. Wait, whats this odd red mark on my forehead...eh, it must just be how I slept. She rubbed the spot before returning to her makeup. Some light eye shadow and mascara should do it. Just when she finished, she hear a loud clanging noise emmiting from her kitchen. Crap! She ran(as fast as one could in high heels, she was rather experienced) through her hallway and burst through the slightly ajar kitchen door. "N-natsu?!"

*Yesterday Evening*

"Natsu, what are you going to do about Lucy?" Asked a smirking Mirajane. Natsu had indeed, taken her to the guild. He was going to apoligize to Mira for yelling at her earlier, but decided against it when he noticed her evil grin. "Well...um..." Natsu squirmed in his seat unsure of what to say, Lucy had her arms rapped in a tight grip around his neck, and was nuzzling further into his chest(she was still asleep of course). Secretly, he just wanted to take her to his house and cuddle with her all night, but he knew he couldn't do that. So instead he sat silently, enjoying her warmth. "Well...you could take her back home, that may be the best solution, eh?" Mirajane suggested with a hint of force behind her voice. "O-kay..." Natsu agreed quietly, sitting up while still holding Lucy.

"Oh Natsu, before you leave, would you like to join Lisanna,Lucy and I on a trip to the fair tomorrow?" Mirajane asked thoughtfully. "Uh..." If Lucy's gonna be there... "Sure!" He replied brightly. "Great!" Mirajane said while clapping her hands together. "See you tomorrow Mira!" Natsu said waving goodbye. "Natsu..." "Yah?" Natsu said turning around his head. "Don't do anything naughty to Lucy." Mirajane said, smiling evily. Hehehe. Natsu heard the muffled giggles in the room with his keen, dragon slayer ears and scowled. "Nat...suu..." A tired Lucy mumbled in her sleep. He turned bright red after registering what Mira had said, and Lucy's sweet, sleepy voice didn't help. "As if..." Natsu said, then he adjusted Lucy, turned around, and walked out. "Cute." Mirajane said she busied herself with her "barmaid duties" and hummed as she thought. Hehe good luck, Natsu.

Natsu skillfully slipped through Lucy's apartment window (as he had done it many times before) and jumped softly onto her bedroom floor. He carefully set Lucy down on her bed, took off her shoes, and tucked her in. He sat down beside her and thoughtfully stroked her hair. "You sure are cute when your sleeping..." Natsu said matter-of-factly. "Natsu...thankyou..." Lucy said while sleeping. He smiled affectionately at her, slowly, he found himself leaning in towards her face. He breathed in Lucy's wonderful scent, and then gently placed a kiss on her forehead (hence the red mark on her forehead). "Goodnight...Lucy..." Natsu whispered, drawing out the last word sweetly. Quietly, he got up off her bed, stretched, and headed for her couch. He knew if he slept with her, he would earn a Lucy kick to the face in the morning. Chuckling to himself, he curled up on her sofa. Natsu fell asleep that night with Lucy occupying his thoughts.

*Back to the Present*

"N-natsu?!" Lucy stammered. "Yah?" Natsu replied, smiling happily at her. "Geez.." She said with her head in her hands. She sat down at the kitchen table and then smelled something delicious cooking. "Natsu what are you making?" Lucy asked curiously. She sure looks pretty this morning. "Natsu?" Lucy asked again, more sternly this time. "Oh, I'm making breakfast." He explained, clearly raising more curiousity in Lucy. "What!" Lucy yelled, shocked at his maturity. "Since when have you been known to make breakfast, or anything food related at that?" She said, amazed now. "Well, it's a big day today..." Natsu said, barely audible. Lucy however, caught what he said and was now even more shocked. Does he know it's my birthday today?

Natsu turned around, holding a plate with a tall stack of golden brown, fluffy pancakes and set them in the centre of the table. Lucy smirked when she saw what he was wearing. It was a handmade apron with the words "I'm all Fired up!" woven into it and a depiction of a rather well cooked (burnt) cake on it. Erza told me she gave him an apron for his birthday when he was 15. His scarf was tucked into the apron so as to keep it out of the food and he had a bit of batter by his lips. Lucy giggled when she saw the batter and pointed at him and managed to say " Natsu..batter..mouth.." Before bursting into a fit of giggles. Natsu turned red and quickly rubbed the batter off with his apron.

After Lucy stopped laughing she noticed that he had set the table. Surveying her surroundings she saw a small black plate with red flowers rimming it was set in front of her, and across from her an identical guessed that was for Natsu. She also had a shiny, silver knife and fork on either side of the plate and a napkin with pink bubbles on it. To top it all off, there was some nice, calming music playing and a cup that matched the plate was placed on top of the napkin. Natsu hummed something unconsciously as he stirred some sizzling substance on the stove. He then grabbed another plate and scraped glistening bacon off the pan and onto the plate. He set down the pan and put the bacon on the table next to the pancakes.

Lucy breathed in the lovely smell that filled the air and leaned back on her chair sighing contently. Before she knew it, Natsu was placing condiments of all sorts on the table. Maple syrup, whipped cream, strawberries, sugar, milk and butter covered the table, each with their own serving tool (except the syrup and milk, they remained in their squeezable or pourable bottles). Natsu sat down silently across from her and motioned for her to eat with a nod of his head. "T-thankyou Natsu!" Lucy stammered shocked and then happily indulged in her "free meal." Natsu watched intently as she filled her face (delicately) with the food he made for her. He was quite pleased when he witnessed an immense smile spread across her face as she swallowed the pancakes. "Wow Natsu, this tastes wonderful, I never knew you had it in you.." Lucy said in awe. "Anything for you Luce." Natsu replied sheepishly. Lucy's smile grew brighter and wider than before as she continued to eat, those last four words floating repeatedly in her mind. Anything for you Luce.

"Thanks for breakfast Natsu, that was really good!" Lucy said happily. "Your welcome." Natsu responded, equally happy. "Anyway, we'd better get going.." Natsu said as he looked at the time. "We?" Lucy said questioningly. "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Mirajane invited me to join you guys today!" Natsu exclaimed, smiling his goofy smile. "That's great!~ Lucy sung, grateful to Mira. "Shall we?" Natsu asked as he opened the door and bowed for Lucy to go through. "Yup!" Lucy replied with a note of ecstasy. Today was going to be a great day, Lucy thought as she walked with Natsu to the guild.
