~Crown Princess to Farmer Girl~
-:Chapter One:-
Lucy slept peacefully on the double bed, a wonderful dream about a prince that wanted to marry her, imagine the prince with wavy hair with the color of dark brown and big blue eyes that saw through your soul. Hugging the pillow unconsciously she never wanted this dream to end.
"WAKE UP!" screaming she shot up, her eyes darted over the room till they got glued on a smirking Natsu fucking Dragneel aka. The Bodyguard. "Finally, I thought you were dead for a moment."
"Ha-ha, very funny." she muttered, sighing she fell down back against the soft mattress in a sigh. "Now let me sleep." Natsu raised a eyebrow at her. Walking over to the big window he took up the blinds so the sunlight shined into the room.
"No more sleeping for you, get up." Lucy growled at him to piss off. Chuckling the pink haired man walked out from the room, leaving her to change. Getting down to the kitchen he took out some bread and butter, milk, glass, eggs, cheese and ham, all of it he put down on the table. Opening the terrace door who led into the kitchen he let a gray cat come in, it meowed and stroke it's body against his right leg. "Hungry, huh?" attempting to get the cat food the sound of high heels clicking against the floor reached his ears.
"Were is my breakfast?" Lucy asked, now dressed in white shorts, a expensive looking pink blouse and ten centimeters high heels, three golden necklace, some rings and ten bracelet on each wrist.
"What the hell are you wearing?" the blonde haired girl scowled.
"Clothes for the day?" sighing Natsu walked over to get the food for the cat and filled the bowl that was on the counter, the cat immediately jumped up and started to eat.
"You can't work with that kind of outfit."
"Well, I'm not going to lift a finger today, so the problem settled." turning to sit down and eat her breakfast she then looked over the food, her scowl returning she looked at Natsu. "Where is my breakfast?"
"In front of you?" gazing back to the 'breakfast' Lucy closed her eyes.
"I don't eat this kind of food." Natsu leaned against the counter his hands in the pockets on his gray sweatpants.
"Then what do you eat?"
"French toast with a glass of fresh pressed orange juice and German baguette with salad, tomato and Italian cheese."
.

"Just eat already." Natsu said, sitting on the opposite side of the table. Cutting the bread to thin slices he gave two to Lucy then the same amount to himself. Looking up to her he saw she hadn't touched the bread. "Aren't you going to get the butter on?"
"No."
"And why not?" when he got no response the pink haired man leaned his back against the backrest on the chair. "Don't tell me you don't know how to do it.."
"Of course I know!" she spat.
"Then why aren't you doing it?" sitting there in silence the sound of the gray cat munching and purring filled the room instead.
"Don't wanna ruin my nails."
"Bad excuse, princess."
"Shut it, pinky."
~õ~
Humming for herself Lucy sat under the parasol on a deckchair, sketchpad and pencil in hands she sat there drawing slowly. Looking up she saw Natsu fixing the fence line to the horse paddock, she looked down to the sketchpad again, adding a detail she had missed, the small smile he had on his lips. Hearing something meow beside her, Lucy looked down to see the cat sit there and look at her with it's amber eyes.
"Hey, kitty." she said, lifting the cat up to her she sat him/her down to her lap. "What gender are you anyway." making the cat sit on the butt she searched for the answer. "Ah… it's a male.."
"What are you doing?" shrieking Lucy pressed her sketchpad against her chest. Looking to her side she saw Natsu stand there with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't scare me like that you retarded man!"
"Anyway, wanna see something I found in the paddock?" now it was Lucy's turn to raise a eyebrow.
"What is it?"
"You'll see when we get there." the blonde haired princess frowned, crossing her arms she shook her head.
"Then no thanks."
"Suit yourself, though it's something cute.." walking away a bit he soon heard a low 'wait for me'. Turning around he saw Lucy approach him with the cat in her arms. Smirking he started to head off towards the paddock.
One or two minutes later Natsu stopped by some bushes, crouching down to his knees he gestured her to do the same, then he spread the branches and he heard a small gasp come from the girl. In front of them stood a black mare, cleaning her newly born foal. Trying to stand up, the black foal lifted it hind legs first then trying with the front. Seeing it struggle to stand up, half way it fell down again.
"We have to help it!" Lucy was about to stand up, but got pulled back by Natsu. Giving him a confused face he silently pointed at the horses again. Looking back towards them she now saw how the little one now pressed himself up on all fours, understanding that it had succeeded a small neigh made him inform them.
~õ~
Later in the evening, Natsu was counting the sheep that was in the other pasture. He smiled, everyone of them was there. Climbing over the fence, Natsu walked over to the house. Seeing Lucy yet again sitting with her sketchpad in the lap he sighed. At first had let her do as she pleased, but now he thought it was time for the princess to learn something about the life on a farm. Stopping in front of the terrace, the pink haired man crossed his arms.
"Princess, your free-time is over now." but when he got no respond he looked up to her fully to see she had fallen asleep. Sighing Natsu got up on the terrace, lifting her up in his arms carefully to not wake her, he than walked inside. Walking into the living room he laid her down on the couch and put a blanket over her.
Hearing the muffled sound of thunder outside he frowned. "A storm?" walking over to the window he saw big black clouds approach the area he cursed and rushed out again. First he took in the sheep and then the horses, luckily the mare had sensed the bad weather so she was with the other horses together with her foal. Taking two and two he led the horses into the stable till everyone was inside in their stalls. "I hate surprisse storms.." he muttered, walking to the front door his eyes caught something on the terrace, looking over he saw Lucy's sketchpad and pen still laid there. Sighing he walked over and picked it up then getting inside.
~õ~
A big crack from the thunder made Lucy wake up from her slumber in panic. Looking around she was in the living room, but alone. Was this some sick dream? "N-Natsu?"
"Yeah?" shrieking she looked at the end of the couch, seeing the pink haired man look at her with a raised eyebrow. "You have been shrieking a lot today you know.."
"Shut it-" just then the room lightened up and a big boom echoed outside. Screaming Lucy flung herself towards Natsu, hiding her face into his chest. The pink haired bodyguard's wide eyes looked down to the shaking figure of the princess of Japan.
"What the?" just then a shallow sob made him froze in place. 'Don't tell me she's crying…' but it was exactly what she was doing. "Hey, why don't we play a game?" Lucy slowly looked up to him, small tears rolling down her cheeks.
"What kind of game?"
"'Who I am'." confused she stared at him to explain, Natsu chuckled. "I'll start. I'm Natsu Dragneel, twenty-seven, currently a farmer and bodyguard to the annoying princess of Japan." smirking at her irritated expression when he said 'annoying' with a teasing voice. "Your turn, princess."
"I am Lucky Lucy Heartphilia, eighteen, currently the princess of Japan and is being baby-sit by the stupidest bodyguard in the world." she at first thought he was going to scowl or something, instead the pink haired idiot laughed. "What are you laughing at?"
"Have you ever thought of dropping the whole 'formal speech'?"
"Yes, but then my father would go rampage." Natsu raised a eyebrow.
"Oh? I remember very clearly that the king himself spoke like a teenager at the age of forty.." Lucy perked her head up, the storm now forgotten.
"You're joking, right?"
"Does it look like I'm joking?" looking at his face she saw that he was telling her the truth. Suddenly Lucy started to laugh, which made Natsu look at her with a raised eyebrow. Just then another crack of thunder and lightening came, shrieking the blonde haired princess pressed herself onto Natsu's. "What are you so afraid of?" but instead of getting a answer Lucy shook her head. Laying a arm around her shoulders he tried to make her relax, luckily it worked, soon he could hear her breath got from shaky ones to steady and calm. "Jeez.."
"Hush." chuckling the pink haired man looked outside form the window, seeing the rain whip against the big window and the lightning lit up the dark clouds. Looking over to the clock Natsu suddenly scooped Lucy up in his arms. "W-What are you doing!" she squealed, holding onto his shoulder for dear life.
"You have to sleep now, Virgo gave me the time you usually sleep at."
"But I'm not sleepy." she murmured. Hearing him chuckle she looked up to be met with a big grin. Climbing the stairs to the second floor he then managed to open Lucy's bedroom's door.
"Just shut your eyes and relax, then you'll soon be asleep." setting her down to the floor he patted her head. "Good night." just when he was about to go out from the room a paring hands took his right, stopping him from going anywhere.
"… Please, stay with me a little longer.." she whispered looking down to the floor. "Please.."
"Alright.." he said, turning around he looked down to her with a smirk. "I'll stay with the baby princess."
"Shut it, pinky."
