*No One's POV*
"AHHHH AHHHH AHHHH CHOOOOOO!" The obnoxiously loud sneeze shoots fire throughout the small apartment on Strawberry Street.
"NATSU IF YOU BURN MY CURTAINS-"
"Geez Luce must you be so loud." The blonde glared down at the flushed pinkette. Said boy continues to sneeze and cough mucus all over the house. "Yeah Lucy your the one that got us sick." Happy stares up at Lucy through scrunched up eyes.
"I never asked you both to come over to my house to take care of me geniuses! Don't you have your own house to go to?! Why did you choose to stay here?!" Neither gave the blonde a response as they cuddled into each other, frozen on the bed.
"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME-" Lucy was cut off by one of her neighbors thumping on the walls of her apartment. Throwing them a quick apology the blonde just sighs at the two idiots in her bed.
"Fine. Lay there I'll go make you guys some soup."
"They.. you.. Luce." The blonde smiled at the feverish dragon slayer before entering her kitchen.
"I didn't even think Natsu was capable of being sick." Lucy laughed to herself as she looked through her cabinets. "Knowing those two they'll probably eat whatever I put in front of them but just because they were kind enough to take care of me after the festival I should return the favor and make them something special." Lucy's mind began to wander to an unknown memory.
She could hear laughter from an older man as well as a little girl. They seemed to have been making something. "Zap Soup, it was a favorite dish to the first master of Fairytail. She used to say that it would melt the socks off even the strongest fire wizard." The laughter continued as Lucy began to shake her head. "Zap Soup?…sounds familiar..must've been something used to make for me when I was little."
The blonde seemed to recall the recipe with ease as she finished her main dish. With a smile she turned to her fridge and pulled out the butter and cheese so that she could quickly make some sandwiches to go with said soup.
The laughter soon returned to her ears, the old man's words following close behind.
"You know what goes best with Zap soup?"
"What Grandpa?"
"A nice warm grilled cheese with some zesty pepper jack and spicy honey mustard." The two began to laugh as a new voice joined in.
"Are you to trying to destroy what little taste buds I have left?" It was nasally and definitely tired but the other two voices were quick to push the boy back to bed.
Lucy smiled at the memory. She wasn't sure where it had come from but it was gone before she could really process it. Placing the sandwiches next to the soup bowls the blonde then turned and made her way back to her bedroom. The sleeping Natsu and Happy continued to snooze as she placed the food on the side table.
After a moment or two of checking up on them Lucy then returned to her kitchen to fetch them both a glasses of milk.
"It's funny how easy it is to get along with them. I never thought I'd have great friends like I do now." Lucy giggled to herself as she reentered her room. Natsu and Happy were now awake from the pleasant aroma filling their nostrils.
"Luce that smells amazing!" Natsu sat up immediately, grabbing the plate from the side table. Happy soon followed as Lucy placed the glasses of milk in their place. "Careful it's hot-"
Natsu was already finished as she stared at him blankly. He quickly chugged the milk before falling back to sleep. Happy on the other hand felt like his mouth was on fire.
"LUCY YOU BIG MEANIE ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!"
The blonde quickly handed him the milk as the poor blue cat tried to fan his tongue.
"I'm sorry Happy, I didn't realize how hot I made it-"
"Hot?! That's not hot! THAT IS FULL ON SCALDING!" Lucy watched as the cat's face started to turn red. He chugged the milk down faster than lightning.
"I could make you something else-"
"And risk death, no thanks!" Lucy huffed as Happy retreated under the blankets. The blonde inevitably just left the two be. But later Happy would find a large fish rapped in a red ribbon on the side of the bed waiting for him and of course he'd forgive Lucy like nothing had ever happened.
Hope you guys enjoyed and stay healthy! :)
