Okay, maybe the omake was a terrible idea. My worst idea. I'm reconsidering doing the others and deleting the college theme since it kinda confused some readers. Or I might repost it as its own story and change L.A.P's rating back to T. I'll decide later, too lazy right now.

With that being said, I hope you guys forgive me for my stupidity and still continue to read my story.

She feel the heat rising to her face. "P-Pervert!" She knocks his arm before walking off, leaving him to laugh as he tried to catch up to her.

"Don't be mad, Luce. Can you be mines?"

"No!"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"Yes, that's why I answered you"

"Then repeat it"

"Can you be mines?"

"I thought you'd never ask" he smirks.

"GODDAMMIT!"

oxoxoxox

Lucy opened the front door to her house, sighing as she kicked her shoes off and slumped down on her couch. She felt exhausted and just wanted to rest. After being out for nearly the whole day; 9 hours at work while the remainder of the evening was spent with Natsu, it was good to be home. Speaking of Natsu, he was just walking in after closing the front door, grinning to himself as he looked around the place. "It's the same as I remembered"

"It's only been five days since you've last been here. What did you expect would change?"

"Gee I don't know, maybe some new curtains or something" he answered as he joined her on the couch, setting a bag on the floor next to his feet. She looks at it quizzically, curious to know what in that bag was so important, they had to stop by his house to get it before coming here. Actually, it was an apartment complex, but hey – home is home; it doesn't matter how it looks.

"What's in the bag?"

"You wait til we're in your house to ask that now? You're such a weirdo"

"Says the idiot with a hormone problem. Now don't be such a smart ass, tell me what's in the bag." She hissed through clenched teeth. Natsu raises his hand in defense. After seeing her 'Lucy kick', as she likes to call it, he had to be careful what he says to the blonde from now on.

"I packed some clothes to sleep for the night. I even brought my toothbrush" he pulls the oral hygiene instrument out the bag as he smiles a toothy grin at her. She stares blankly before saying – er, asking, "Spend… the night? Here?" Did he mean he'd stay here until midnight – which is 12 am in the morning right?

"Yeah, you have to check my injuries remember?"

Oh ye~ah! She completely forgot about that. Don't get her wrong. When you're tired the brain has a tendency to make you forget certain things because you don't have the energy to do it.

"It won't take all night for me to do that. Ten minutes is all I need, then you can go home"

"Ah." He agrees with her, but an extent. "But what if I experience late night abdominal pains? There's no one at home to take care of me and I wouldn't know the first thing to do if something like that happens to me. I'd probably have to endure the pain til morning or until someone comes to my house to check on me. Do you want me go through all that Luce?" he explains, causing the blonde's jaw to drop. "Who are you and what have you done with the real Natsu?"

"He's right here babe"

It was hard to believe that he could clearly explain a scenario that even she, as a nurse didn't think of. He obviously had his explanation planned and well thought out. This small fact causes her to squint her eyes, glaring suspiciously to see if he was serious about what he just said. Knowing him, this was probably an excuse for him to stay over. Not that she really minded, since they were dating but this was just too soon – him sleeping in her house. She sighed before forcing herself to sit up. "Wait here. I'll be back soon, and DON'T touch anything while I'm gone. Got it?"

"Yes mam"

With that, she walks up the stairs, leaving behind a very cheery Natsu by himself. Stepping in her room she closes the door and picks out a change of clothes before going in the bathroom. It was a quick bath, took her no more than ten minutes. She searched her bathroom cabinet for the first aid kit – finding it quickly she exits the room, returning to Natsu only to find him petting Happy. The blue feline had its eyes tightly shut as he purred rhythmically, pressing his head closer to the pinkette's hand.

As she walked closer to them, Natsu noticed her and smiled as he set the cat down on the couch beside him. "Lucy, this is an awesome cat you've got. Where'd you get him?"

"I found him sitting on the streets – the same night you… found me – desu." Damn her verbal tic. Whenever she gets flustered or embarrassed she unknowingly adds 'desu' at the end of her sentences; she got that from her mother's side of the family.

"What's his name?"

"H – Happy"

Natsu stopped scratching the cat's head with the pads of his fingers when he hears her answer. "Seriously…? Happy? You couldn't pick a better name like Milo? Or Aaron… or even Ace?"

She narrowed her eyes and lets out a small 'humph!' What's wrong with the name Happy? Sure it's not the best name but she it was all she could come up with. He didn't have to criticize. "Take off your shirt" she orders, receiving a sly smirk from Natsu.

So it's like that!

"I like where this is going. So are we gonna do 'it' on the couch or bed, it's up to you"

Lucy stared at him in confusion before tilting her head to the side. What is he talking about? On the couch or bed…? After catching on to what he meant, she flushed ten shades of red, steam seeping out of her ears.

"Pervert! It's not like that, I just need to see your body" she screamed loudly.

"You're so bold" he chuckled. She rolled her eyes at his ridiculous comment. He suddenly feels her hands grabbing the ends of his shirt; beginning to raise it up. "What're you doing?" She stops what she's doing to look up at him.

"What do you mean?" she innocently asks. It WAS actually innocent.

"Are you… stripping me Ms. Heartfilia?"

"The correct term is 'undressing' and yes I am Dragneel" she simply answered. "You have a problem? Or would you rather take your own clothes off?"

Nope! Please carry on, this is kinda fun. He quickly shook his head, indicating it was alright for her to continue. He raised his arms to help her get the shirt off easily. "Don't get overwhelmed by my amazing body"

"I've seen tons of men's bodies at the hospital. What makes you think yours would be any different from – oh." Her mind went blank and she forgot what she was going to say. Her eyes widen, she found herself staring in awe of his hard, lean frame as he stood half-naked before her. She tried tearing her gaze from the tanned outline of his magnificent form, but it was no use. His body could compete with that Gray guy, or was it better? Whatever exercise he's doing it's really working well for him – I mean look at that 8 pack! She wondered if it was as hard as it looked. She resists the urge to touch his abs.

Natsu's devilishly handsome features shifted into a knowing grin when he caught her staring.

"You were saying?" Lucy snaps out of her trance, blushing from embarrassment. "Sh-Shut up, desu"

"Desu?" Finally noticed she said that. "So you can be cute sometimes"

"I said shut up!" She slapped the shirt on his face, making him laugh as he pulled the fabric off his head. "So are you gonna take my pants off too?"

"W-What? No! Why would I do that!?" she fumed.

"It was just a question. No need to get all hype up Miss Naughty-nurse"

"Don't you dare call me that! You're the one with the dirty mind!"

"R~ight"

Lucy takes a close look at his abdomen, since he earlier mentioned the possibility having late night abdominal pains. She gasps when she sees the ugly black and blue marks of the large bruise covering his lower waist. He was hurt much worse than she thought. "You need ice" she rushes to the freezer, pulling out an ice pack and went back to Natsu who was giving her a confused look. "Is it that bad?"

She applies the ice pack to the bruise, hoping it would reduce the swelling. She held it there for about 15 minutes before removing it from his skin and reaching in the first aid kit to pull out the antiseptic bottle and a few cottons. "This might hurt a little" she warns before damping a cotton with the clear liquid and lightly patting it against his wound. His body jolts on contact, hissing in pain he clenched his teeth to hold in his groans. Goddamn this fucking hurts!

She gives him an apologetic look, "Sorry… I'm sorry" she softly whispers each time she hears him groan. After 7 minutes she was done wrapping the bandages around his torso and was now moving up to examine his face. Luckily he only have a minor cut near his lip, nothing too serious. She cleans the wound and sticks a Band-Aid on, kissing the spot where the placed it afterwards. "You must be in so much pain right now"

Natsu blushes bashfully as he rubs the back of his neck. "It's not that bad. I've been through worse, but thank god I'm still breathing right?"

She smiles and nods her head.

"So where do I sleep tonight?" he suddenly asks.

"In the guest room upstairs"

"By myself?"

"Nooo, really?" she sarcastically says as she gives him the 'what-kind-of-dumb-question-was-that?' face. "Were you planning on sleeping with me or something?" She laughs at her own joke but slowly stops when she sees Natsu was joking with her. With a stern look she says, "Maybe when we get to know each other better, I'll allow you to sleep in the same bed with me. But until then, no"

Natsu pouts cutely as he gives her puppy dog eyes. She tries to block out his stare but it's too much for her to handle. The force is strong with him!

"Natsu… no"

He suddenly yells out in pain, scaring Lucy half to death. "Oh god – my side is killing me!" he holds his waist with one hand while the other grips the couch, using the furniture as support to keep himself standing up straight. "Oh my poor baby. Why don't you stay with me tonight?"

Natsu mentally give himself a high-five. "That sounds like a good idea"

She helped him up the stairs to her bedroom and laid him in the bed, climbing in with him she says good night before drifting off to sleep.

oxoxoxox

Lucy sighed contently, snuggling deeper in her queen-size bed as she allowed its pure warmth to lull her to sleep. But unfortunately for her this warmth didn't last long. Suddenly, an icy gust of air speared through her body. Shivering as the cold chills sinked down to her bones, she groaned and wiggled around in search for any source of warmth she could find. She was about to open her eyes to look on the bed for sheets – since feeling around wasn't helping – when something grabbed her by the waist and pulled her forward.

Did I move or did the bed just move on its own…? 'Cause I'm pretty sure one of us moved just now.

Being half-asleep she didn't have the mind to investigate what happened, all that mattered was the tremendous amount of heat she was receiving.

Ah~! So warm… and this scent. Subconsciously, she nuzzled her face closer to the source of the aroma. For some unknown reason she felt so safe and at ease just by smelling and feeling this… What is this anyway?

She scrunched up her face when short puffs of hot air repeatedly hit her face – almost felt like someone was breathing right in her face. Her eyes sprang open when she hears a light snore in front of her, horrified by the possibilities of someone being in the bed with her. She blinks several times so her brown orbs could get adjusted to the bright light of the sun rays that lingered in the room. When her vision cleared, she's relieved to know it was only Natsu. His face was just an inch away from hers, his arm wrapped around waist as he held her in his arms. Now usually Lucy would find this romantic, but she was furious at the moment.

What the hell was he doing in her bed!? (Oh forgetful Lucy ^^')

Lucy screamed and pushed out of his hold, causing the unconscious pinkette to accidently roll off the bed. A loud thud was heard when his body came in contact with the ground.

Ooops…

She bit her bottom lip and scold herself for forgetting his condition. He was already badly wounded from that fight last night. What good would it do patching up his alluring, hot, well-built body – stop it Lucy! Now's not the time for that! She slowly peeked over the bed, expecting to see him still be laying on her floor but surprisingly he wasn't there. Where'd he go?

"That wasn't very nice, Luce" a shiver went through her spine when Natsu's deep voice brushed against her ear. He sounded more masculine and sexy when he just wakes up. She turns around to face him, he wide brown eyes met his onyx ones. "What kind of nurse are you? Shoving your patient off the bed when he's trying to sleep"

"It was an accident! I didn't mean to. You should've just slept in the guest room like I told you to"

"I don't sleep in a bed by myself, especially when there's a very attractive woman in the house" he smirk as he leaned closer to her, completely invading her personal space. She wasn't sure what he meant at first, but when she caught on a blush spread through her. "S–Shut up!" He laughs at her flustered face and poke her cheeks lightly. "Your face is so red. You look like a monkey" She slaps his finger away, crossing her arms with a cute pout before turning her head to the side so she wouldn't have to see him.

"Come on Luce. I was only kidding"

"I'm not talking to you"

"Don't be that way. Here, I know what'll cheer you up"

She slightly to turns her head to see what he was going to show her. He suddenly grabs her arm and pulls her forward, pressing her lips against his. The kiss catches her off guard. After a few seconds he pulled away to stare at her surprised face. "Now, are you still not talking to me?"

"Why would I not talk to you?" she says in her dazed state. Natsu snickered to himself; this trick never failed him before when he had to deal with angry women; why would it fail now? "Great! Now can you make me breakfast, I'm starving" And as if on cue his stomach growled.

"You're not eating anything until you bathe mister"

"Wha? Why do I have to bathe first? Can't I do that after I eat – I mean I'm not even that dirty so – mhm" he hummed when Lucy gently kissed him, silencing him before he could rant on.

"What were you about to say, sweetie?"

"I'm gonna go in the tub now"

"That's what I thought" she giggles as he got and made his way out of her room. And he thought he was the only one who knew how to seduce someone. Silly Natsu.

Lucy stretched before getting out of bed, leaving her room to get the kitchen downstairs.

"I guess I better start making breakfast"
