Lucy yawned as she drank her morning coffee to wake her up and walk inside her office which technically was Natsu's but also hers. Noticing that Natsu wasn't in sight she was the early one and incredibly tired. She has gotten home at 11:30 and she's only received about 5 hours of sleep—which was not alright with her—and she was practically dozing off every second.
It was all Natsu's fault for taking her to some coffee shop to talk for the rest of the night but she had to admit she enjoyed it.
Another yawn escaped the blonde's lips as she looked outside the window that was right behind Natsu's desk, admiring the sunrise from the spot. She was tired but she was glad she woke up early to see this view. But one thing she didn't understand was why she had to come early. She didn't even see why Natsu had made her come earlier if he was going to be late and it ticked her off—that idiot boss of hers always knew how to make her pissed off.
Not a good morning at all—at least, not yet.
Lucy got up and walked on over to Natsu's desk to sit down in his chair to get a better view of the city, carrying her coffee in her hand. She took her wedges off her feet and pulled her legs up to her chest, sipping on her coffee, staring out the window and admiring the view.
It was a beautiful day today and she didn't know why but it just brightened her mood up.
Lucy placed her coffee down and stared out the window, watching the few people and cars that were up this early walking and driving to certain places, everyone looking like ants and mini cars that came in a toy set.
She suddenly felt a bit nauseous thinking about falling and she reeled back, leaning against the chair that smelt like Natsu.
And she now wondered where that buffoon has gone to—did he purposely make her come here early to torture her? Where was her idiot of a boss?
Lucy spun around in the chair to make it face the two huge double doors and let out a bloody scream, challenging the glass to break. Natsu pulled away and cringed at the sound, picking at his ear with his pinky. "Jesus—you're too loud in the morning."
"W—when did you—?! How—"
"I just got in and was about to jump on you but you turned around and started screaming as if you're in some horror movie," He scoffed, setting the brief case down on his desk.
"Y—you—you gave me a fucking heart attack!"
"Ah, what language for a lady."
"Fuck off! What do you think you were doing sneaking on me like that?! And did you say you were about to jump on me?" Natsu nodded and yawned. Looking down at his desk to see a cup of hot coffee his handsome face immediately lit up like a candle. Before Lucy knew it he snatched the cup from the desk and chugged the whole thing down, the woman gawking at the man in front of her.
She flinched when he slammed the cup down in front of her. "Wow, great coffee! Where'd you get it?"
"My . . . house?"
"Mm, would be great to have a wife like you to make me coffee every morning," Natsu murmured as he turned and walked on over to his small kitchen table to make some more coffee.
He left Lucy feeling her face go into flames as she let what he said process in her mind, the blonde now fully awake and the caffeine running through her veins which she knew would only help for a good 2 hours—3 hours maxed. And how in the world did that guy chug a cup of hot coffee down?
Natsu never ceases to amaze her.
And that bluntness—never gets old.
"Oh yeah, Lucy?"
"Hmm?"
"We have a business trip coming up and I want to let you know I was planning on taking you." Lucy's head snapped up at the thought of it and looked at the pink-haired man who was dumping four packs of sugar in the cup Lucy has brought. "You were planning on taking me? Why present tense?"
"Well, I'm not sure you'll want to go."
"Why would I go? If my boss needs me of course I'll do it."
"Oh, you see—business trips are tiresome and I'm pretty sure you rather stay here where it's comfortable and not so loud." Lucy raised a brow as she looked at Natsu who looked back at her, leaning against the counter and sipping on his fresh coffee he has made. "Try me,"
"Well, we're going to Tenrou Island—"Lucy's eyes lit up at the sound of that, a smile creeping up her lips. "I want to go!"
"But Luce—"
"I want to go! Tenrou Island is the place where every person wants to go at least once in their life!"
"How do you know about the island? It's Fairy Tail's sacred island." Lucy cocked an eyebrow at his direction. "Why sacred?"
"Some history thing and owner of Fairy Tail being buried there and stuff," Natsu waved it off, setting the half-drunken cup down next to him. "So, is that a yes?" Lucy nodded enthusiastically and Natsu gave her a boyish grin, happy that his assistant agreed. If it was somebody else he would have just dragged them along but this was Lucy and he actually had to be careful on what he does or say to her.
"But, I'm going to tell you this once. Alright?"
"Okay."
"You can't back out on me at the last moment because once I chosen a person to go with me I need them throughout the whole trip and I actually have bad . . . motion sickness."
Lucy blinked. Natsu blinked.
The two stared at each other as if somebody said something real inappropriate or done something real embarrassing.
"..Excuse me?"
"I have motion sickness and you have to take care of me during the whole way there."
"What? Are you serious?" Natsu nodded and Lucy actually felt like she was going to be babysitting some 5 year old for the whole trip. "But you didn't have motion sickness for the car rides yesterday!" Lucy exclaimed, Natsu grinning sheepish at her. He rolled up his sleeve and showed the patches that were stuck onto his arm, the blonde gawking at him again. He actually wore motion sickness patches?
"How long is the trip?"
"12 hours in total."
"Will you throw up on me?"
"Only if the roads get bumpy."
"What transportation are we going on?"
"Probably a plane than a boat."
"Will we be able to look around the island?"
"Yeah, sure." Lucy was quiet for a moment, thinking it over. If she went she would be able to go to Tenrou Island—the island that was filled with beautiful promises but if she did go, she has to babysit motion sick Natsu. And if she didn't go she didn't need to babysit her idiot boss who had bad motion sickness but if she didn't go she'll have to stay and have a boring work days. Was she willing to go?
She actually did want to go and going with Natsu might be a bit fun.
After all, they were friends and Natsu was one interesting guy.
A smile formed on her lips and she nodded, looking at the man who grinned right back at her. Seeing that smile he knew she has agreed and he stood up, grabbing her coffee cup and walking on over to her to hand it back to her. "Well Luce, we'll be leaving tomorrow and coming back 4 days later."
"What time should I be here?"
"8; our plane ride is at 10 so pack tonight and we'll be on our way to Tenrou Island."
"Yes sir!"
"And Luce?"
"Yeah?"
"Pack a lot of summer clothing," And with that he turned around and left the room, the blonde wondering what that meant. It was still a bit chilly outside and he was making her bring summer clothing?
Well, if that was what her boss wanted—she'll do it.

"Oh, Lu-Chan!" Levy called out for her blonde friend as Natsu and her past by the co-workers hallways, the two adults stopping in their tracks to turn and look at the short woman. Levy walked around her desk and walked on over to them, her heels clicking every time she took a step. She stood in front of them and flashed a sweet smile, the two returning the gesture. "Where you guys going? And Lu-Chan, you woke up too early this morning. You left me alone!"
"Sorry—Natsu made me come early to do some things." Levy cocked a brow at Natsu's direction and he shrugged, her chestnut orbs slowly trailing down to see one of Lucy's arms linked with Natsu's.
"You guys having some fling or something?" Levy asked, pointing at the arms and Lucy immediately flushed, the man grinning. "N—no! We're just going to go get some lunch!"
"Why don't you guys pack? All you guys do is go out and—oh, I see."
"What do you see?"
"You guys want to go out on more dates now,"
"W—wrong!" Lucy sputtered, now pulling her arm away from Natsu's arm, the male raising a brow at the two friends that argued in front of him. "Ah, Lu-Chan and Natsu, sitting in a tree—!"
"You've got it all wrong!"
"How do I have it all wrong? It's pretty obvious," The blue-haired woman snickered, Lucy scowling at the snickering woman. Her face was a healthy pink and she was so close on exploding in embarrassment.
This woman never changes—ever since they have met she always embarrasses her in some sort of way and teases her over the smallest things.
"When's the wedding?" Levy teased, Lucy lifting her finger up and opening her mouth to retort back at what she has said but stopped when she felt a pair of hands on her waist. "Uhm, can you guys fight later? I'm pretty hungry."
"Y—yeah, we should get going." Lucy mumbled, turning to grab Natsu's arm and walk away from Levy who watched them get in the elevator. Levy snickered and gave the two half a wave, Lucy scowling and pouting at the woman while Natsu smirked, the double doors closing and shutting the two out from the rest of the world for a moment.
Lucy fidgeted in her seat as she was practically a lit candle while Natsu calmly watched the elevator numbers ding with every floor they passed.
A silence lingered in the air and she was pretty glad he wasn't saying anything since he listened and watched the whole little teasing and argument between her and Levy which was totally uncalled for and embarrassing but at least he wasn't talking.
Knowing Natsu, he would tease her about it later anyways.
Lucy let out a sigh of relief as she felt the elevator stop and the double doors open, the two adults walking out and still having that comfortable silence lingering between them.
She didn't want Natsu talking till they got to the restaurant and she swore she was going to get Levy back once she gets the chance to.
"So, what do you want for Lunch?"
"U—uh, I don't know."
"It's your turn to choose so think of a place to head to." Natsu gave her a side glance and involuntarily she flushed, missing the smirk that has appeared on his lips. He wrapped his arms around his head and walked out of the building with Lucy trailing behind him, the sounds of people talking, walking and the cars honking and driving all over the place.
Natsu looked on over to Lucy and raised a brow at her silent figure, his arms dropping by his side. "Luce—?"
"Burgers."
"Burgers?" Natsu asked, surprised somebody like Lucy would choose a burger place. "I know this great place that sells killer burgers—Levy and I go every Saturdays." Lucy flashed a cute smile and Natsu nodded, a small smile crawling up his lips.
He held his arm out for her and without a second thought Lucy grabbed it and the two were walking up the sidewalk to that killer burger place Lucy had suggested.
~X~
A sigh escaped Lucy's lips as she dug in her purse for her house keys, finally arriving home after 8 hours of working. She sure did miss staying home and resting all day but working did have their fun moments too. And spending most of her days with Natsu was tiresome.
Lucy put her purse and keys down on the little table that was next to the door, kicking her wedges off she groaned out loud. She walked on over to her couch and sat down, lying down to have a little bit of peace and quiet, resting her tired feet.
Lucy listened to the clock ticking and after 10 minutes of lying there she got up to go take a shower and pack for her trip with Natsu tomorrow, wondering when Levy would get home.
After pulling her suitcase out of her closet and stripping down to go take a warm shower.
She was excited for this trip but she wonders if it'll be one awkward of a trip. After all, her boss was one walking piece of fine work but then again, he was annoying as hell.
Lucy hopes nothing awkward happens—but a little couple time wouldn't hurt.
A/N: ANNNNND it's uploaded.
I didn't expect this story to end up like this but whatever; I've been reading too much of 50 Shades of Grey and all this boss thing are getting to my head. WOULDN'T NATSU MAKE A GREAT CHRISTAN GREY AND WOULDN'T LUCY MAKE THE PERFECT ANA STEELE?!
I think yes.
Anyways, thanks for reading! Don't forget to leave a lovely review. ;*
