Crystal and Natsu's House

...

"Where are you going?" The pinkette asked with his hands behind his head as Crystal placed in her contact lenses. She blinked twice in the mirror of her private bathroom and smiled. She walked out and so did Natsu.

The bluenette took her off shirt, leaving her in her bra and made Natsu turn away. She took a strapless red top and slid it on and she proceeded to take off her pants.

"You still haven't answered my question."

"Hmm? Sorry I wasn't paying attention." The bluenette giggled as she buckled her belt on her black mini skirt and slid on her denim jacket. Natsu turned around.

"Where are you going?" He asked again.

"To the Hot Springs with the others."

Natsu's eyes beamed with excitement, his grin reaching from ear to ear.

"Really?! I wanna come! Why didn't you say so?!" As he was about to rush out the door, Crystal pulled him by his scarf and back into the room with force.

"Oh no you don't. It's only for girls." The bluenette went over to her vanity and took the brush that was there and started brushing her long, silky hair. Natsu had the most dumbfounded look on his face.

"Only.. For girls?" He repeated, question marks over his head.

"Yes Natsu." The bluenette sighed and placed the brush on the vanity. She went over to her closet and stooped down to the bottom row with all the shoes. She took out a pair of boots and went on the bed to put them on.

"Why?! I wanna come!" He pouted.

"Oh lighten up and stop being a baby. Besides, I know someone you can hang out with." Crystal got up and grabbed her purse.

"Who..?" He eyed her up and down.

...

"Fuck no."

Crystal giggled. "You know Akise right?"

Natsu glared at the man and he glared back. They both growled at each other.

"I have to hang out with him?" They both asked themselves in their minds. Crystal frowned.

"Problem boys?" She narrowed her eyes. The two grinned.

"No! We're absolutely thrilled!"

"You can't fool me. I'm not Erza, Natsu." The bluenette puffed her cheeks. A bubbly laugh erupted from Natsu's throat. He gave her his signature grin, making her blush a bit. Akise tsked.

"Come on, let's go." The bluenette placed her phone inside her purse and went downstairs. Natsu and Akise followed behind her.

...

While walking through the streets of Magnolia, the crisp Fall breeze blew in their hair, the leaves on the trees in magnificent shades of orange, red and yellow. Fall was one of her favorite seasons, how the trees changed colour and mostly, in time for Halloween and the Holidays.

But.

Akise's eyes were glued on her bouncing breasts with every step she took. He licked his lips hungrily.

"So Crystal... Why didn't you wear something more covering?" Akise asked, Crystal looked at him in confusion, Natsu glared daggers at the man.

"I-I mean-! ...Because of how chilly it is!" He nervously laughed. Crystal took in the question for a moment, her face became red.

"Pervert." Crystal pouted.

"You four-eyed bastard!" Natsu growled.

"What the fuck did you call me?!" Akise growled as well. They both butted heads.

"You lay one fucking hand on any part of her body or even fucking watch her with your greedy little eyes... YOU'LL BE IN YOUR GRAVE!"

"LIKE YOU CAN DO THAT!" Akise smirked.

"Hell, you ain't even her boyfriend and you're getting so worked up. Still not over the fact that I'm going on a date with her and not you?" Akise teased, smirking smugly. A vein popped out of Natsu's head.

"I live with her dumbass."

"She doesn't wear sexy outfits for you."

"Like if she does that for you! That's just how she dresses, you mothe-"

"Natsu Dragneel and Akise Hideyoshi!"

The two men stopped and looked st the furious bluenette, her arms folded, her eyes narrowed with a frown on her face. They sweatdropped.

"First of all. It is NOT a date!" She pointed out as she put up one finger. Natsu stuck his tongue out at him. She raised up the second finger

"Second of all, "sexy outfits"? It's a dinner, Akise. I agreed to do that as only friends." Crystal deadpanned.

"Haha!" Natsu grinned. She raised up her third finger, she gritted her teeth.

"And third of all... Natsu, you aren't my father. You aren't my boyfriend. I appreciate your concern but stop treating me like if I'm some object that belongs to you!" Crystal placed her hands down, sighing in defeat. She rubbed her temples.

"We're sorry..." Natsu and Akise apologized.

"It's fine. I'll see you guys later, okay? Bye and stay with each other!" Crystal smiled sweetly at the two and waved the off, walking away from them. Akise smirked under his breath, watching her hips sway with every movement.

All the things he could do to her...

Bang into that body, gripping her hips and making her cry and moan his name in pure pleasure until her throat went dry.

Over and over...

Again...

He would love that, so much...

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he saw the pinkette missing. He saw Natsu going in the opposite direction towards a jewelry store. Akise went after him. He walked into the store, a diamond chandelier hung from the ceiling and glass displays of beautiful jewelry such as necklaces, watches, earrings, rings, etc.

Engagement and Wedding rings caught Akise eyes. He turned his attention to Natsu who was talking to a lady with caramel brown hair held up in a bun with blue eyes.

"Ah, Mr. Dragneel. I see you came back!" The lady smiled. She had a British accent. Natsu smiled.

"Yep! I wonder if the piece I ordered was ready?" He asked the woman. She nodded.

"Yes, yes. It just arrived yesterday!" The lady went underneath the counter where the cash register was, she pulled out a purple wrapped box with a yellow bow on top. She opened it the top, Natsu smiled at the results.

"Like it?"

"Like it? I fucking love it!" He grinned. The lady nodded and placed the top back on. She placed it in a bag and handed it to him. Natsu held the box with care.

"I'm positive that the lucky lady will love it!" The brown haired woman exclaimed.

"You must bring her someday!"

"Maybe I should." He winked and and turned around, his face scrunching up.

"The hell are you doing here?" Natsu scowled.

"Because of Crystal."

"No... Because of her body, bastard." He corrected and walked out the glass doors, the lady waving him goodbye. Akise walked out too.

"So what? Her body is better than any girl I've ever seen. God, her in bed must be even better!" Akise sighed dreamily.

Natsu's eyes twitched with irritation, Akise didn't understand. Of course he didn't. He didn't know what Crystal was like. She deserved someone who loves her for her. Despite all the madness and depression. Someone who can keep real smiles on her face. Someone who can turn her frown upside down. Someone... Who can make her, happy.

Her birthday was in two weeks. Natsu had everything planned out.

The problem was...

How was he gonna come in and out of the house without Crystal being suspicious? Bringing home things and she'd be curious enough to peek. Wait, he'd just leave them at someone else's house! Problem solved?

Hopefully. She'd love what everyone has planned for her.

...

"Ahhh! This feels great!" The sky blue haired maiden moaned in delight, sinking until her neck was below the hot water.

"Crystal?" The white haired woman asked. Crystal sunk back up, her boobs underneath still.

"Yeah?" Crystal replied. Mirajane smirked.

"I got some good vibes when you and Natsu were carrying you around on his back last week."

"Carrying?" Crystal raised a brow. Mirajane giggled.

"You don't remember?" Crystal's face turned red as she sat up from the water.

"You're kidding... Natsu of all men?!"

"What's the problem, Chrissy-chan?" Levy titled her head.

"Doesn't Crystal-chan and Natsu-san like each other?" Juvia deadpanned. Crystal held her hands up in alert, a bright blush on her face.

"I think you two would make a great couple, Crystal-san." Wendy cooed.

"EH?!"

"It's completely obvious. Haven't you seen the way he looks at you? With such love and passion. Sometimes, rarely... I catch him staring at you with lust... Ogling your body when you're not looking." Cana smirked slyly. Steam came out of the top of her head, she was boiling red.

"T-that's not true... N-Natsu doesn't think liks that! He's a dense little idiot!" She yelled.

"But it could be true." Lucy started.

"Always check Crystal's place if you wanna find Natsu. To be honest, I didn't know you and Natsu had that kind of relationship..." Erza finished.

"Now wait! Him comimg into my house is your fault! You placed him to live with me! Whenever I come home, tired, he's always in my room and I find that annoying! Out of all the different rooms he chose to be in! Out of all the places he would rather hang out! Is at-!"

Everyone smirked. She stopped.

"...-My house..." She sat back down into the water.

"Ah... See that? He's always around you." Cana nodded. She looked off to the side.

"Doesn't he make you smile?" Levy asked.

"Yes."

"Doesn't he cheer you up, even when you want to be alone?" Erza questioned.

Crystal frowned, a blush creeping its way to her face. "Y-yes.."

"Doesn't he make you... Happy?" All the girls asked in union. Crystal opened her mouth to say something but closed it, her face red as a tomato. Everyone knew what that meant.

"Something we didn't tell you, when Natsu came back from 1 year of training. He was most excited to see you." Erza admitted, a smile on her lips.

"Yes, he appeared at the Grand Assassin Games. When he came to the guild, he looked for you. Only you. But when he saw you weren't in your house... Or in the guild. He freaked out." Erza laughed slightly. "It was funny seeing him panic. But sweet as well..."

Crystal blushed. "S-so what..."

"We told him you went on a solo mission and you were gone for months." Mirajane said.

"Then we told him about how... You lost your memories of him. He didn't believe us. So we came up with a plan and that was... "To get the Assassin know as Natsu Dragneel. "The Salamander." Bring him back here." Erza repeated the exact thing Master said to them.

Crystal's eyebrows furrowed, a frown on her lips and a bright red blush. Of course she didn't know about any of this. She forgot. Stupid brain. Stupid defensive part of her brain. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"B-but we're bestfriends... I don't think that we can be..." She trailed off.

"Bestfriends can turn into lovers." Cana smiled.

...

2:00pm

...

"Remind me again why I'm in a bookstore that smells like someone who took a hot shit in here and helping you're ugly ass find some fucking book that's probably worth 1 jewel? Or less?" Natsu groaned. Akise looked through the aisles of books, different sections. He was looking for the Romance section.

"It's for Crystal."

"You're giving Crystal a book that's not Manga? Heh, okay guy." He chuckled.

"And correction. You're only doing it for her body." He corrected him again. Akise rolled his eyes.

"She loves books, a bookworm. Still don't mind banging the fuck out of her though." He reached the Romance section. He pulled out a book that titled "Fifty Shades Of Gray". He raised a brow, he went up to the cashier counter where there was a man who sat on a chair, reading a magazine.

"Is this your number one Romance seller?" Akise asked the man. The man looked at him.

"Huh? Yeah it is. You're into kinky shit like that?" The man asked.

"Kinky?" Natsu and Akise asked, question marks over their heads with a dumbfounded look on their faces. The man sighed.

"Look, you buyin' it or not? I kinda wanna get back to my job here." He snorted. Akise placed the book on the counter and the man cashed it and checked it out. The two men walked out.

"She's going to love this." Akise smiled to himself.

"Idiot. It would be best if you stay your ass home and forget about that "date"." Nastu threatened. Akiss glared at him.

"And who are you to say who she can and cannot date, eh? I'm telling ya, she won't be coming home tonight." Akise smirked. The pinkette laughed.

"So, you're gonna use a strap on?! Pfft, because you have such a... Psshhh, tiny... thing you call a dick?!" He laughed, clutching his sides.

"Fuck you."

"Fuck you too, bastard! That's it, I'm calling Crystal. I'm done with this shit."

Natsu took out his phone from his pants pocket and dialed up her number. A hologram came up, she looked like she was outisde, he could tell by the obvious sunlight. Natsu could see blonde and scarlet hair at the corner of his eyes. Oh and he didn't need to hide his phone from Akise. He was cool with it. Actually, he didn't care.

"Natsu? What's the matter?" The bluenette asked.

"Akise's the matter!" Natsu yelled.

"I'm right here!" Akise shouted.

"Like I care!"

"Natsu, I'm not coming home till 3. I'm hanging out with the girls. Just hang on for one more hour." She rolled her eyes.

"But-!"

"Just, get along, please... For me?"

He couldn't argue with that. Her pleading face was so adorable. He sighed.

"Fine. For you. See you later." He smiled slightly. Crystal waved him goodbye and the hologram disappeared. Natsu placed it back in his pocket.

"I want one of those phones." Akise told him.

"Are you a assassin?" Natsu asked in irritation. Akise shook his head.

"Then you ain't getting jack shit. Anyways, I'm hungry." Natsu looked over at the side of the road, seeing a café. He licked his lips. Natsu crossed the road without watching both ways, the light was red so who cares?

A truck came speeding down the road, he didn't care that the light was red. Akise saw this, he gasped as the truck was going straight to Natsu. The man acted fast as he grabbed Natsu's hand.

"What the-?!" Akise grabbed him with force and pushed him unto the sidewalk, the truck driving quickly past them. Natsu watched in disbelief.

"You.." Akise started, still recovering from what happened. Akise sighed.

"You okay man?"

Natsu panted as he got up. He dusted himself off. He grabbed his bag and checked inside to see if it was okay. He smiled.

"Thanks Akise."

"No problem, dude."

"No really, thanks."

"Don't go gay on me, I only stopped you from getting run over." Akise shrugged. Natsu sweatdropped.

"So thanking you is gay, apparently?" Natsu deadpanned. The two men laughed as they both crossed the street. This time, looking both ways.

Once they were in the café, they sat at a table and ordered drinks. Akise had iced tea while Natsu had hot chocolate. Their food came eventually, sandwiches and such. Natsu took a bite of the BLT sandwich.

"I still don't like the way you look at Crystal." Natsu said out of the blue. Akise rolled his eyes.

"She'll choose who she wants to be with." Akise narrowed his eyes. Natsu glared back.

"Exactly. And that person ain't you. For a fact."

"And how do you know that?" Akise inquired.

"Because I actually-!" He stopped, a bright blush on his face. Natsu looked off to the side.

"...-care who Crystal goes with. Whether it's me or someone else. As long as she's happy."

Akise smirked. "What if she's happy with me?"

"I... If she is then I don't see a problem..." Natsu frowned. Akise smiled. Hands covered Natsu's eyes, he chuckled.

"Hi Chrissy." He grinned. The hands released, revealing the smiling, sky blue haired woman that held bags in her hands. She pulled a chair and sat down.

"I was actually walking out of a mall when you called." Crystal sighed. "Man it's hot outside." She wiped the beads of sweat that were strolling down her forehead.

"You guys getting along?"

"I saved his life." Akise boasted proudly.

"Really? You did?!" Crystal asked in shock. Akise nodded.

"I would've survive." Natsu drank his hot chocolate.

"You would've survived from being run over by a truck? Heh, okay." Akise drank the last of his iced tea and got up from the table. He winked at Crystal.

"See you at 6, babe." Akise smirked toothly.

"I told you not to call me that." Crystal hissed. Akise blew her a kiss and walked out the doors.

"Bastard." Natsu placed his cup down. The bag on the table caught Crystal's eye. It had a french name on it with a diamond. It was probably that new jewelry store that opened up.

But what intentions did Natsu have at a jewelry store of all places?

"I see you bought jewelry for yourself?" Crystal asked. Natsu shook his head.

"For a friend of mine. I know she'll love it." Natsu grinned.

A friend?

A girl nonetheless?

Who is she?

These questions remained to be unanswered. Natsu didn't tell her. This made the bluenette curious...

And found herself jealous.
