"He's late."

The blonde pouted down at the blue cat who meowed at her in agreement. Lucy stood up and walked over to the bathroom to examine herself once more in the mirror. She felt unusual nervous and was unsure with the clothes she wore. From last night's events the few things she stuff into her bag was from her rushing. The blonde had dark jeans with a blue loose t shirt thrown on plus her worn down sneakers.

Lucy sighed to herself and went off to explore the pinkette's house which was a fruitless adventure due to the lack of personal items in the house. All the rooms looked to be decorated but untouched in everyway. She wandered back up to the master bedroom which from her investigation was the only room to appear lived in. Even so, there was still lack of personal items. Lucy almost wondered if the man she spent practically half a year with was even real.

Just as Lucy was about to leave the room and go back to the living room where she left the blue cat, before a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist. She froze in place by the touch and began to tremble in panic.

"Geez, I should have stayed home with you instead of leaving." The owner of the arms muttered nuzzling their face into her neck. "Work was brutal even for half a days worth."

"Your late jerk." Lucy said blushing at his touch. She blushed even harder feeling his hot breath on the crook of her neck. Natsu planted a kiss there which resulted in him getting a smack to the head. "Don't touch me!"

"Geez Luce, calm down it was only a kiss." The pinkette chuckled pulling away from her. "And I'm not late."

"You said noon on the dot."

"Geez, don't get worked up. Let me just freshen up and we'll leave." Natsu said throwing his jacket on the bed and strolled into the bathroom.

"Your going to wear that out?"

"Yeah." The man called out.

Lucy walked into the bathroom with crossed arms. "I am not going to hang around a man who's dressed like that."

Natsu raised a brow staring at her through the bathroom mirror before rinsing his mouth out. "Let me get this straight. You don't wanna be seen with a guy who dresses classy? Would you rather I dress like a punk?"

His dark eyes burned holes into Lucy that made her body heat up in embarrassment. "I didn't say that. Just hurry up already!"

The blonde ran out the bathroom in a flash making the man laugh at her exit.

"It's kinda fun to tease ya." He calles out chuckling to himself as he examined his face closely.

Only in his late twenties, Natsu could see the visible frown and worry lines that grace his young boyish face. He sighed to himself thinking about all the work he had to do to protect the very blonde school girl in the next room.

'Is this even worth it? Or am I making a huge mistake.' The pinkette thought staring deeply into the mirror as if it knew all.

"Natsu~!" Lucy called out from downstairs followed by purrs he knew came from his beloved blue cat.

'No its defenitely not a mistake. Dad why couldn't you leave me instructions on how to handle these kind of things?' He pleaded to himself before groaning in defeat leaving the bathroom then grabbing his jacket and running down the stairs.
