I know you said fluff, but this is a little more humour than fluff. Sorry!

Lucy and Natsu sat at a table, after making a reservation three months prior to the famous flame-grilled restaurant. Lucy had made sure she looked acceptable, whilst Natsu had just thrown on his usual outfit with much nicer jeans.
His hair was wild, and outrageously pink as always but the valet hadn't said anything about that - he was actually more focused on Natsu's banged up jeep to question anything.
Lucy could feel the stares of indignation and horror at the fact he was let in at all, since he definitely didn't suit a place of this calibre but she ignored them.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Lucy propped her elbow on the table; smiling when she realised she had broken on of the strictest rules of eating at the table. She plopped her cheek down into her hand and settled in for longer staring.
"Just thinking. Your face is a good canvas for white noise."
His eyebrows screwed up, "Is that supposed to be a compliment?"
"It's not my fault you have an nondescript face." She informed him blankly, hiding a smile when he squawked in shock. Some customers of the fancy restaurant turned to him, and she lobbied their glares with a fierce one of her own.
Despite Natsu's obliquity to the situation, she had been raised in this sort of crowd and her Heartfilia glare was second to none; her father had taught her that much at least.
"I have pink hair, Luce. And sharp teeth, how the hell is that… unmemorable?"
Lucy had to agree with him, that Natsu wasn't nondescript but his annoyed face was too cute and she wanted to continue the ruse for as long as she could.
"Sorry Natsu, that's just how I feel. I'm sure you'll find other people that find you very extraordinary." She waved her hand in dismissal and took a small sip of wine, raising her eyebrow when he leaned forward with a clear challenge in those obsidian eyes.
"So, I'm so ordinary and bland, why are you dating me?"
A really crass reply rested on her lips and as she went to say it, she stopped. Natsu was practically covering the whole table with his body, his face inches away from hers. A small smirk played on his lips, giving her glimpses of those sharp fang-like teeth, as well as the slightly crooked nose and thin pink lips.
Her heart stuttered and she felt a rush of heat climb up her neck immediately. He leaned even closer, pupils dilated and the look on his face screamed hungry. Lucy straightened in her seat at this sudden attention, trapped by his fiery gaze whilst her fingers bunched into her dress.
"Well, Lucy?" He murmured lowly, warm breath brushing her warm cheeks.
"Huh?" She remarked dumbly, her voice as weak as her knees and he chuckled.
"If I'm so ordinary, why are you dating me?"
His question swam back to the front of her mind and pulled her from the drunken haze she had unwittingly entered. She placed her hands on his shoulders and gave him a light push, watching as he fell back onto his chair lightly.
"I don't know why I date you." She blistered, placing her hand to her cheek in attempt to cool it down whilst he snickered.
The urge to smack him was throbbing at her fingers and she pushed it down, smiling patiently when the waitress brought out their meals. Once she had left, she looked up, "Natsu, can you pass me the salt?"
"You can always just sprinkle it with you, if that pout has anything to say about it."
This time, she didn't bother to keep her emotions in check and gave him a sharp whack on his forehead.
Let me know what you think :)
Thanks for requesting it!
