"Papa?"
"Yes, Lucy?"
"What type of boy do you like?"
Judo put down his papers as he turn to look at his 17-year-old daughter, wondering what she meant by that. Lucy giggled at the look her father was giving her and readjusted herself in her seat. "I mean, like, what kind of boy do you think is suitable for a girl like me?"
"Don't tell me..."
"Eh?"
"You have a boyfriend, don't you?"
"Not yet... I'm just asking, papa." Lucy smiled sweetly once again making Jude fall for her I-don't-have-a-boyfriend smile. She sure did have a boyfriend—but she didn't think she'll have to tell him just yet.
"So?"
"Well… I guess somebody who can support you and the family once you guys grow up. And somebody who'll make you happy."
"What about a football player?"
"No, they're too rough."
"Soccer?"
"No sport players."
"Uh... delinquent?"
"Lucy." Jude shot Lucy a hard look making her laugh. "Sorry! Okay, so, somebody who will support and make me happy…"
"Can I ask why you're asking me this?" Jude asked making Lucy shake her head. "Just because," And with that she leaned in and kissed his cheek, running away to someplace else making her father stare at her weirdly.
What was that all about?
"Lucy, are you sure this will work?" Natsu asked as he pulled on the tie around his neck, scratching his stomach afterwards. This sweater was so itchy!
Lucy scowled at him as she remade the tie again, flattening the front of his shirt. "I'm sure it will. After all, I did ask him what type of boy he thinks will be good for me couple of months ago." Lucy said as she smiled at her boyfriend who sighed. He was doing this for her and him—for the sake of their one year relationship. He said he wanted to meet them so he'll have to suffer the consequences if he was going to make them like him.
"Now for the final touch!" Lucy announced as she grabbed a large pair of fake glasses, placing them on Natsu's head. Natsu blinked a bit as he looked around, not used to wearing glasses. "Babe, I look like a fucking nerd."
"That's the point! Most nerds turn out successful!"
"They do?"
"Duh," Lucy said as she pat his chest, smiling. He was covered from head to toe due to the fact he had a couple of tattoos. He wore a brown sweater vest with a dress shirt under it, his hair all combed and made so it wasn't so messy and spiky, and a big pair of glasses to top it all off.
Lucy couldn't even recognize him and she was the one who put everything together.
"Ah! I'm so great—I should become a fashion model or something!"
Natsu looked at himself in the mirror and almost couldn't recognize himself either, his lip pressed into a thin line. If Gray or Gajeel saw him like this… he would never show his face out in public again!
But then again, he had to remind himself that this was for Lucy and his relationship.
Lucy stood next to him and grabbed his hand making him turn and look at her, a soft smile decorating his face as he noticed the look she was giving him. She leaned up and placed a sweet kiss on his cheek. "Thank you…"
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Because you would do all this just for me…"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Well, if you were with some other girl I bet their parents would accept you perfectly. They wouldn't have to dress you up like this and lie to their parents and you could have been—"Natsu interrupted her as he placed his lips over hers, Lucy's eyes widening for a second before sinking into the kiss.
When they pulled away Lucy was breathless.
"Babe, I love you. There isn't a thing I wouldn't do for you,"
After hearing that, Lucy couldn't be any happier.
~X~
Lucy and Natsu both stood in front of the Heartfillia's residence as they both were feeling oh so nervous. They weren't sure if the plan was going to work and if her father would approve of Natsu but it was worth a shot.
Lucy faced Natsu and grabbed his hands, the male looking down to look at his lovely girlfriend. "Whatever they say or think, I will always be with you—alright?"
"Same goes for me," Natsu smiled as he gave her hand a squeeze. The two leaned in and shared a quick kiss, Lucy turning open her door and invite Natsu in.
"Mama! Papa! I'm home with Natsu!" Lucy announced as Natsu gulped, taking his shoes off like Lucy did. He looked around the large house as he walked in deeper, following Lucy to the living room where her mother and father were.
Natsu instantly paled as the two blondes looked over to them, Natsu feeling a lot nervous than he already was.
To show that he was feeling uneasy, he gave Lucy's hand a squeeze. Lucy squeezed back to reassure him and he felt a bit better.
"Mama... papa... I want you to meet my boyfriend, Natsu Dragneel." Lucy turned to point at Natsu, Layla and Judo staring at him with curious eyes.
Natsu cleared his throat and smiled nervously. "H—Hello Mrs. and Mr. Heartfillia. I'm Natsu Dragneel; it's nice to meet you."
"Lucy... this is your boyfriend?"
"Yes! Isn't he cute as a button?" Lucy giggled as Natsu gave her a weird look. Layla stood up and went on over to Natsu, grabbing his free hand. Natsu instantly became tense. "It's so nice to meet Lucy's boyfriend! You're so handsome... but I never thought Lucy would go for a guy like you," Layla laughed as Natsu chuckled nervously.
Lucy scowled at her mother as Layla pulled away, Judo coming towards Natsu now.
Natsu gulped as he pulled on his collar, looking up at Judo. "H—Hello Mr. Heartfillia..."
"Hm,"
"Papa!"
"Is he staying for dinner?"
"No, Natsu and I have plans later tonight so we're only going to be here for at least 2 hours." Lucy pouted as she grabbed Natsu's large hands. Judo noticed and nodded, grabbing Natsu's shoulder. "Why don't you come and sit with me? Let's talk,"
"O—of course sir,"
"Natsu..."
"Don't worry, I won't harass him." Judo said as he brought Natsu on over to the couch. The two males sat down and Natsu instantly felt nervous due to Lucy not being by his side. He sat up straight and looked at Judo who stared at him. "So, Natsu was it?"
"Y—Yes sir."
"Do you play any sports?"
"Uhm, I do not. My mother doesn't allow me since I always hurt myself," Natsu said, knowing that was not true. How was he supposed to say all of this without sounding so lame?!
"Hm, well, let's talk about Lucy then."
"Sir."
"What do you like about my daughter?"
Natsu smiled as he thought about his beautiful girlfriend, sitting up straight. "I like Lucy because of her personality. Lucy is one of the nicest, funniest, and smartest in school. I personally fell for her cuteness but I think I like everything about it. I'm sure I can write a whole book about her!" Natsu said making Jude nod and look at the ground. He was silent for a moment before he asked another question. "Have you ever dated anyone else?"
"Err, no sir. Lucy was the only one I have ever dated due to the fact that people do not accept me for who I am..." Natsu said, frowning a bit. It was true—in school he was a selfish asshole who only thought about himself until Lucy changed him.
She was the one he was the most serious about—everyone he dated was just a fling.
Judo nodded once again and processed everything in his mind, Natsu waiting for him to say something else.
"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"A socc—"Natsu started to say but instantly stopped when he realized what he was about to say. He shook his head and laughed. "I want to become a business taker. I want to own a company and run it—I also want to take care of Lucy and make her happy."
"What are you grades right now?"
"They are in the C's and B's range right now since I am too busy studying for finals."
"Is Lucy happy when she is with you?"
"Most certainly sir... I can proudly say I have never made Lucy frown when she was with me,"
~X~
"Natsu! It's time to head out now!" Lucy said as she came downstairs, her eyes widening at the sight. She saw that her father and her boyfriend were both grinning and laughing with another. She stood there and stared in disbelief as Judo noticed his daughter behind Natsu. "Ah! Lucy, come join us!"
"Luce!"
"Hey... it's time to go," Lucy said as she pointed at the door, Natsu looking at his wrist watch. He gasped and stood up, bowing at Judo. "Sorry sir but Lucy and I have to head out now."
"Where are you two heading?"
"We have a double date with a friend and we're going to be late if we don't head out now." Lucy said making Natsu walk on over to her. He grabbed her hand and kissed it making Lucy smile and blush. "Bye papa!"
"Hold on, I'll walk you two out." Judo said as he stood up and walked towards the door with them. Layla came soon after and the couple said their goodbyes to Natsu and Lucy.
"Hey Natsu?"
"Yes sir?"
"Welcome to the family."
Natsu's eyes widen along with Lucy's smile as the words came flying out of Judo's mouth, a wide grin stretching across Natsu's face soon after. Judo gave Natsu one last smile before closing the door, disappearing inside the house with his wife.
"Natsu, you did it!" Lucy shouted as she dropped her bag, throwing her arms around his shoulders. Natsu shouted out in victory and he wrapped his arms around her waists and spun her around in an entire circle. They both laughed as they kissed, both of them grinning from ear to ear.
"I can't believe that worked..." Natsu whispered as Lucy giggled, smiling. "I told you it would. Now come, we have a date and I need to take this off you," Lucy said as she pulled on his tie. Natsu smirked and picked Lucy up in his arms, a squeal escaping her lips. "N—Natsu?!"
"It's time to celebrate!"
"B—But—"
"Come on babe, I'm getting awfully hot in this sweater and wouldn't you want to mess my hair up?" Lucy blushed and looked away from the look Natsu was giving her, the two making their way to his house to undress.
"Hey Natsu?"
"Yeah, Luce?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
