Natsu's eyes widened as Lucy's lips met with his own, he tried to pull his head away, but unfortunately she pushed his cheeks tighter. "Lu-" he began but was suddenly met with the flow of a liquid going into his mouth. He choked, as the tea she had held in her cheeks kept going into his mouth.
She brought her face away from his, and stared at his choking self, she smiled softly, before gently patting his back, deciding that the potion might have worked, seeing as nothing was spilled on his chin, nor her own. "Natsu." she stated. Natsu froze in his spot, as he was leaning over Happy coughing. She felt a little guilty doing this to him, but decided she'd do it anyway, it was the only way for her to make sure he didn't run off anymore, so she told herself. "The bond has been sealed."
Natsu sat up straight, and turned to face her, his eyes were confused, "Bond?"
"Now I take this chance of a contract between witch and familiar." she continued. She pulled his horns down so his forehead touched her own, "The dragon beast, I now announce you familiar of Lucy Heartfilia." She opened her eyes, and gazed into his confused ones. She let go of his horns, and smiled, as they both sat back up.
"Familiar?" He asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"
"You know, a familiar," Lucy answered, "Every witch has one. Plue's one of mine, and now you are, too. It's safer this way, so that you'll never get into trouble."
Natsu smirked, "Yeah, I doubt that." he stated, before leaning into her face, "Cause I'm itchin to burn something right now."
"You're not burning my cottage." Lucy folded her arms.
"Wasn't plannin' on it." Natsu replied, before standing, holding Happy in one arm and setting fire to his other fist, before sending the flame flying across the room, and onto the fire under her pot. The flame suddenly burst larger, and absorbed the pot.
"What?" she asked, "What are you doing? You can't destroy someone's house like that!" she rushed over to her pot, only to find it crumpled, and destroyed by the flame, "Why'd you do that?"
"Felt like it." Natsu replied, before making his way to her, leaving Happy on the couch, and leaning into her face, "Did you really think you could tame me?" he asked, "A lame, weak familiar spell that you used is no match of someone with my power." He stood up straight, "Unless…" his face wasn't serious anymore, "nope, can't be it. You're too much of an idiot blond."
"What did you say?" she asked, wanting to hit him across the head.
"Wanna go on an adventure with me?" Natsu asked, his face lighting up like a little child's, "We could go searching for Igneel together! That'd be fun!"
"Adventure?" Lucy asked, before frowning, and shaking her head, "You do realize the reason I wanted to make you my familiar, right?" He really tried changing the subject, didn't he?
Natsu tilted his head, "Nope!" he laughed, "but that tea tasted gross!"
She wondered where the serious, almost flirtatious Natsu from before was, as she rested her head into her palm, "To make sure you don't get into trouble."
"Oh, yeah," Natsu replied, smiling, "You did say something like that."
"I don't want you getting into trouble because you are an extinct species. People are gonna go crazy over you, and who knows what they might end up doing!" Lucy tried explaining in the best way possible.
"Like forcing my lips apart, or forcing tea down my throat?" Natsu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Worse, far worse," Lucy explained, "You see, since you're obviously not used to the era we're in-" she froze, and looked into his eyes, "Were you just bashing me?"
Natsu laughed, swinging his hands to rest at the base of his neck, behind his head, "Funny, right?"
"No!" Lucy slapped his shoulder, "That's insulting!"
Natsu pouted, and turned away, his wings nearly hitting her, "So I have to make sure some idiots don't realize I'm a dragon, no big deal, Happy and I had roamed around for six years, remember?"
Lucy grabbed his wing, forcing him to turn back around, "They could kill you!"
"Kill me?" Natsu asked, raising his brows, "If I don't burn 'em first."
"Natsu."
"Look, I want to go on an adventure, I'm tired of staying here." he pulled his wing from her grasp, and folded them tightly behind his back. He dropped his arms, "You're tired of staying in one place your whole life, too, right?"
"In a way," Lucy replied, glancing back at her pot, "I need to get a cauldron."
"A what now?" Natsu asked, and she felt his hot breath at her neck.
"Would you stop doing that!" She exclaimed, turning around.
"Doing what?" Natsu asked.
Lucy pushed him aside, "Stay on the couch side of the room, please, I'll be right back."
She entered the confines of her room, and pulled out a black wig, and a cloak. She glanced around the room, before grabbing a black strip of fabric, normally used as a face covering. She turned around, and made her way back into the room the dragon was in. He was laying on his belly on the couch, his wings extended in the air, as his arms hung over, while playing with the blue cat. Plue watched from the table, dancing along with his giggling, as the cat patted at his hands. She smiled, he didn't look like some vicious dragon, a powerful beast. She touched her lips absently, now realizing she literally just kissed him, seeing as the familiar contract hadn't worked.
She cleared her throat, causing all three of her desired familiars to look at her, "Natsu," she said, as he flapped his wings in the air while changing positions from lying to sitting, "I have one condition, should we go on an 'adventure.' If you abide by this then we can go."
"Sweet!" Natsu cheered, "So let's go!"
"You haven't heard the condition, idiot!" She raised the cloak in the air along with the black haired wig and the black face covering.
"What are those for?" Natsu asked, before he leaned forward, "you finally gonna admit you're a vampire?"
"No! I told you, it's not just any blood I need," she sighed, before setting aside the cloak, and focusing on the other two objects. "You can cover your mouth with the scarf, right?" she asked, receiving a confused nod in return, "thought so." She held up the wig, "You'll have to wear this, seeing as that pink hair of yours is a little distracting, and will cause attention, and…" she frowned, and folded her arms about her chest, "when you get angry, those horns tend to grow."
"They do?" Natsu asked, "I didn't know that!" he turned to Happy, "Happy! Why didn't you tell me! No wonder those people in that one place were so scared when they wouldn't give me the fish."
Lucy stared, annoyed at him, he was an absolute idiot, she had to be certain. She audibly sighed, before continuing, "This will cover them, for the most part, or at least better than the pink hair."
"Stop insulting my hair - What about that black thing?" Natsu asked.
"It's a face covering," Lucy replied, before smiling, satisfied with how well her plan worked out, "It is common, in this era, to wear a face covering over your eyes if you're blind, thus, you will have to pretend you are blind!"
"But then I can't see."
"Well, we can't risk anyone seeing those mesmerizing eyes, now can we?"
"Mesma-what?" Natsu asked.
"Your eyes look like a dragon's a lizard's a snake's. That's odd."
"That one guy didn't have a problem with it." Natsu pointed out, folding his arms across his chest.
"It's because of him I'd want to take these precautions!" she yelled at him.
Natsu pouted, and turned away from her, "She just doesn't understand, Happy…" he mumbled.
Lucy sighed, and sat down next to the dragon, she hesitantly lifted her hand, and stroked his back, around the folded wings. Natsu refused to face her, so she decided to speak, "why do you want to adventure so badly, anyway?"
