A/N: Sorry if this update was late. I have a lot of things on my mind right now, including story ideas. Also I'll probably have a one-shot in production by tomorrow ;) *wink* *wink*

Anyways! I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

(Natsu's pov)

"You're kidding me?!"

"No I'm not! I'm actually going to work at an office!"

Gray burst into a laughing fit as he leaned on the school's flag pole, as Lucy and I just watched his idiotic face bounce up and down from his laughter.

"Y-You….c-can't be serious!...", Gray said in between his laughs.

Lucy and I didn't say anything, which made Gray's funny expression turn into a serious one.

"Wait! So you, Natsu Dragneel, are going to work at the Heartfilia's office?!"

I nodded slowly, "And if I mess up, I don't get to date Lucy anymore"

"Oh! This just keeps getting better and better!", Gray exclaimed as he became a laughing mess once again.

"It's not funny!"

"What do you mean it's not funny!? It's hilarious!"

"No it's not!"

Gray continued to laugh as I turned my gaze towards Lucy.

"I knew we shouldn't have told him!"

Lucy gently placed her hand on my shoulder and sent me an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, I thought we could trust Gray, I mean after all he seems like the most reasonable person in our group"

That one statement completely shut down Gray's laughing fit.

"W-Wait! I-I'm the only person you've told this to so far?"

"Yeah, nobody else knows that Natsu and I are dating", Lucy said softly as she crossed her arms.

"Really?! You haven't even told Lisanna?!"

"No, why would we even tell Lisanna in the first place?", I questioned as I examined Gray's weird face.

He looked as if he had just let out a secret or something, either that or he ate some really undercooked pizza. Which for the record would taste better than the frozen pizza they serve us at lunch.

"N-No reason!"

"Are you sure because-"

"Mr. Dragneel? I presume?", a deep voice boomed behind my ear, as a strong gigantic hand grasped my shoulder and turned me around.

I came face to face with a gigantic bald man wearing a black suit and black sunglasses over his eyes.

"Uh…..maybe?"

"Alright, good enough for me", the man bent down in front of me and grabbed my legs with his two gigantic arms.

"W-What are you doing?"

The man didn't respond instead he lifted me into the air and over his shoulders.

"Let's go, Mr. Heartfilia is waiting for you"

"I can walk you know!"

"That's the least of our concern, we need to get you changed and into the office as fast as we can"

"What do you mean by change?"

The man started to walk farther and farther away from the front of the school and into the parking lot.

"Lucy! Gray! Help me!", I pleaded with puppy eyes as I banged on the giant's back.

But instead of helping me Lucy and Gray both just waved at me.

Sigh

'Remember why you're doing this Natsu! You're doing this so you can date Lucy!'

I slumped over the man's shoulder as I sighed in defeat.

"Please don't tell me that I'm going to have to wear a tie?"

"..."

"Oi! Jack and the beanstalk! Do I have to wear a tie?!", I kicked the man's hip as I tried to get him to respond.

"..."

"Answer me! I don't want to wear a tie!"

"..."

"No matter what! I am not going to wear a tie! You hear me?!"

"..."

"Never!"

…..

"Dammit! How did I end up wearing a tie?!", I yelled as I tugged on the long black clothing piece on my neck.

"It's mandatory here at this office Natsu", Mr. Heartfilia stated as he took a sip of his coffee.

"But why?!"

"You have better things to do, than to be complaining about wearing a tie", Mr. Heartfilia said coldly as he took another sip from his coffee.

"But it's so uncomfortable!", I whined as I continued to tug on it, "It feels like I'm choking!"

"That should be the least of your concern, now get to work!"

"But I haven't been assigned a job yet!"

"And is that my problem?!"

"Kinda, I mean you are the boss, you're the one who hands out the-"

"Get back to work now! Or else I'll fire you!"

'Fire? I'm not even getting paid anything!'

"A-Aye sir!"

…

"Mr. Dragneel?", a young intern around the same age as me approached me with a stack of papers.

"Yes?"

"Mr. Heartfilia has ordered that you make 3000 copies of these fliers. He wants them at his desk in 20 minutes", the intern dropped the heavy stack of papers on my arms, and smiled.

"The copier machine is right there", she pointed in front of us to a weird gigantic computer looking thingy, that looked like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Gulp

"Good luck", she patted my shoulder and walked back to her desk, while I just stood there looking dumbstruck at the copier machine.

The machine made weird noises as I slowly approached it. I gently placed my hand on the roof of it, as I read the small blue screen underneath it.

There was so many numbers and buttons! I didn't know where to start.

"Uh….."

I browsed all of the small buttons, until a gigantic yellow button caught my eye.

"Ah, this must be the start button!", I proudly pressed the yellow button, making the machine light up and slowly shake, almost as if it was purring.

"Yosh! That's one step down! Now all that I have to do is-"

The machine began to shake violently, as it jumped up and down. Paper started to fly out of a opening of the machine.

"EHH!"

The machine started vomiting white sheets of paper all over the office. Almost as if was raining inside the office.

"Ah! How do I stop this!"

I ran back up at the front of the machine as I frantically searched through all the buttons.

'C'mon! There has to be a stop button! C'mon where is it!'

Most of the buttons looked the same, so it was really hard to tell the difference between them.

'I guess there's only one thing to do!'

I cracked my fingers and raised both of my hands up to the buttons.

'Press! All! The! Buttons!'

I smashed all of my fingers on every single button that was on the dashboard. I even smashed them more than once.

After a couple of seconds, the machine came to a grinding halt, along with a depressing sound.

"Mission accomplished!", I raised both of my arms in the air with joy, making everyone in the office give me funny stares.

I turned around in joy, "Look everyone I fixed…..it"

Mr. Heartfilia was right in front of my face. His stare that he was giving me was not at all friendly. It looked like he wanted to snap my neck.

"Natsu…..", he seethed between his teeth.

"Uh…...yes?"

"Turn!...around!"

I slowly turned around and saw that the copier machine was emitting black smoke along with some bright sparks.

I slowly turned back around and faced Mr. Heartfilia's deathly stare.

"Uh….it was like that when I got here?"

For the rest of day Mr. Heartfilia made me run all of his errands instead of actually working at the office.

…

"Can you believe that Lucy?! Your so called 'gentleman of a boyfriend' couldn't operate a simple copier machine!", Mr. Heartfilia angrily stated as I waited gingerly at their dining table.

"Well they are hard to operate!", Lucy shouted from the kitchen.

"See! Even she agrees!"

"Shut up! Because of you we're behind schedule! You should be ashamed!"

"Dad!", Lucy popped out of the kitchen, and angrily stomped over to her Dad.

"Apologize to Natsu this instant!"

"But princess he-"

"No buts! Apologize or get out!"

Mr. Heartfilia closed his eyes and exhaled loudly.

"I'm…...not sorry"

"Dad!"

"Ok, fine! I'm sorry!"

"See that wasn't so hard"

Mr. Heartfilia pinched the bridge of nose and walked into the bedroom corridors. Once he was in the hallway he shouted, "You better not screw anything up tomorrow Natsu!"

'Oh that's right! I have to do this for an entire month!'

I lowered my head and sighed heavily.

After a couple of seconds of grieving to myself, Lucy came out of the kitchen and placed four gigantic plates in front of me. All of them had delicious, gormont looking food on top of them. And above all else meat!

"Here's that feast I promised you Natsu, now eat up!", Lucy smiled as she placed a cup of water next to the plates.

I was practically drooling, but I had to thank Lucy before digging in.

"Thank you so much Luce! I love you so much!"

Lucy blushed a small tint of pink as she sat down next to me.

"It's the least I could for my hardworking boyfriend"

Boyfriend that one word kept repeating in my head. To be called that by Lucy was an honor, an honor that I didn't want taken away from me.

"It's worth it, as long as I get to stay by your side, I'll continue to try my best"

"Does that mean you won't destroy another copier machine?", she smirked as I took my first bite into the delicious meal she had cooked for me.

"Absolutely!"

'Absolutely not! Those machines are so hard to operate, I hope that I never have to use one ever again'

But knowing Mr. Heartfilia, he'd probably make me work the printer tomorrow. And I could bet you 5 bucks that me operating the printer will end badly.

Guaranteed.
