"Mr. Hot dad?" Lucy called as she walked into the giant house of Dragneel.

"In here!" A sexy, baritone voice answered and she almost squirted where she stood. She hoped to god that was what Natsu would look and sound like when he was older.

Igneel looked at her from his spot on the couch when she entered the room. "What's up, buttercup? Whoaoaoa."

She deadpanned at the song pun he just made, her previous thought having crawled away in shame. "Um... I did something."

He pause the movie he was watching and turned towards her, a serious expression on his face. "What happened?"

"I got Natsu a present..."

His eyebrows scrunched together. "Oh... what is it?"

"Um..." she grabbed the box with holes on the side from where it was hiding behind the wall.

His eyebrows rose. "Is that an animal?"

A meow came from the box right as she nodded her head. "I really should have asked you if it was okay first, but I just couldn't help but think about how lonely he looked when I stalked him, even though he always had a new pet girl here every fucking night. Since I could get caught and you're gone a lot, he can be kinda pathetic and lonely."

Igneel inhaled deeply through his nose and sighed. "Honestly, that's a really great idea." Getting up, he walked towards her and motioned to the box. "Well, let's see this thing."

"Oh, right." She set the box down on the floor and knelt down to open it. A small furry face peeked its head out of the box and meweled softly.

"Ooo." Igneel looked at the cat in awe. "Why is it blue?"

"I have no idea but I like it."

"I'm assuming that's why you picked it."

She smirked. "Aren't you intuitive."

He gave her a look before he bent down and scooped the little cat up in his arms. It started purring immediately and licked his arm. "Well aren't you just a happy little fella." Igneel smiled as he scratched the little cat's head.

Lucy just looked at the two of them and nodded her head in affirmation that she got the right one. "He was an expensive little bitch."

That broke Igneel's infatuated trance and he looked at the girl. "Did you get everything he needs? Like a litterbox and whatnot?"

Lucy scratched her arm. "Not yet, he kinda took all my money."

"Does Natsu not give you any? He's got plenty to spare." He asked in surprise.

"He never brought it up and I never asked. Living here is more than I really need."

Igneels eyebrow rose, his liking of this girl growing more and more. "Alright, here." He dug into his pocket and pulled out a wad of cash. Before she could protest, he interjected. "I know you don't need it, but I want you to have it. Finish getting what this cat needs and keep the rest. Think of it as a reward for saving my son's dignity."

Lucy smirked and accepted the money. "Well, when you put it that way. Thank you, I'll pay you back when I get my inheritance.'

The man shook his head. "No need, you're family."

That kinda fucking froze Lucy on the spot and she just stood there while he set the kitten down and retreated back to the couch. A tiny meow made her look down at the adorable feline creature and she sighed as she picked him up. "C'mon buddy, I gotta hide you while I go get your shit." It mowed on response, slightly surprising her, and she made her way to her room to hide him under her bed in his little adoption box.


"I'm home!" A slightly irritated voice shouted later that afternoon, making Lucy jump in her chair at the kitchen table and almost choke on the noodles she was eating. "I better not walk in on something that will make my soul shrivel up and die! Oh, hey."

She rolled her eyes when he finally spotted her in the kitchen. "You're an idiot." She greeted.

"Good to see you too, escaped convict." He eyed her suspiciously as he made his way to the fridge, grabbing a bowl of spaghetti and placing it in the microwave.

"The fuck does that mean, sugar plum fairy?"

He smiled a little as he pushed the buttons on the microwave. "Why'd you flee the school so fucking fast?"

She shrugged, "I had things to do."

"Uhuh." He crossed his arms and leaned against the counter while he waited for the food to heat up. "So, where's my dad?"

She shrugged again, stuffing some noodles in her mouth. "He swaid swomefin mout de office."

"Ah." He grinned when the microwave dinged and grabbed the bowl and a fork, then sat down across from her, digging in. "I miffed you."

She rose an eyebrow at him. "I don't understand that language."

He rolled his eyes and dramatically swallowed. "I said, I missed you!"

"Seriously, stop speaking in tongues."

Huffing with a smirk, he shot up from his seat and wiped his mouth. "I'll show you how to speak in tongues." He then proceeded to smash his mouth against hers, ignoring her squeak and plunging his tongue inside her mouth.

She supposed she should have seen that coming, but she wasn't mad about it. She wouldn't say it out loud, but she had missed him too and was getting bored waiting for him come home, playing with the new kitten only amused her for a few hours.

He pulled away and looked into her dazed eyes, smirking at the affect he caused. "Now can you understand?"

"Uhuh." She nodded in a daze, then shook her head. "Ah, man, fuck you, you made me forget!"

"Forget what?" He asked as she stood up. Grabbing his wrist, she pulled him up the stairs. "Baby, we were getting to that part if you had only waited."

She gave his lecherous smirk a dark look and stopped at the door to her room that she never used. "Okay, I have a gift for you."

"Thank god," he sighed as he pressed himself against her, grabbing her ass and kissing her neck. "I've been waiting for this all day."

She popped the side of his face with the back of her hand. "Not that, pedophile." Grinning at his groan, she turned around to face him. "I know your birthday isn't for a few days, but I got you a present early and I can't exactly hide it, so..."

His jaw dropped to the floor. "You got me a birthday present?!"

"Why the fuck wouldn't I?"

He crushed her to his chest and spun her around in the air, kissing all parts of her face while she squirmed. "Oh my god, I love you so much, you beautiful unicorn!"

"You dont even know what it is yet." She blandly stated with no emotion as he set her down.

"It doesn't matter, this is the best day of my life!"

"Goddamn it, will you just open the door and meet your present! Fuck!"

"Meet?" Curiosity got the better of him and he wasted no more time in opening the door and walking inside. Once he saw the little creature curled up on the pillow and sleeping away, his head whipped to look at her in complete shock, making her almost bust out laughing at his expression. "You didn't."

"You're right, this is all one big joke... dumbass." She totally didn't expect him to grab her face and give her the most sincere and heartfelt kiss that she'd ever felt in her life. It was a kiss that made her heart pound hard and heat rise to her cheeks.

"Thank you, Lucy." He whispered, and she just stood there, raising a bewildered hand to her lips while he went to go wake up the little creature. Well, that was definitely a new fucking feeling for her.


Thank you guys for the best wishes, I hope you are all staying safe too. I guess it was pretty obvious that she got him happy, since every single one of you guessed it. I love you guys!
