Hello Everyone! I would like to apologize for the huge delay in this chapter. I just recently got a new job and holidays and fun stuff like that. There will be a new chapter soon though!


Natsu rolled over in his sleep, grabbing the closest thing to him and holding it close to his body as he snuggled into it. The object felt strangely squishy, and very soft. Which wasn't right.

Actually, hugging something didn't feel right. He didn't have anything in his bed that he could cuddle with. He groggily opened one eye and spotted blonde hair just below him. He followed to where his hand was and choked on his own spit.

His hand was resting on her stomach.

A small groan came from the woman he was holding close. He shot up from his spot on the bed and scooted far away from the woman, profanities streaming from his mouth.

He didn't remember cuddling up to Lucy last night, and he didn't want to know why he had done it at all. The two barely even knew each other.

He probably shouldn't have spent the night.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair as he attempted to get up from her bed. He needed to get Happy and go home before she even woke up.

But think of the devil at all, and it will awake. He heard grumbling from the woman and he stood there standing on her bed. He watched as she stirred, a hand going to rub the sleep out of her eyes. He held his breath, itching to get off her bed and run away. She opened one eye and spotted him standing above her. He watched as the emotions on her face went from sleepy to surprise to straight fury. She let out a screech and he covered his ears as he hopped off her bed. She quickly threw the covers off of her and dove after him.

"NASTU!"

He turned his head and saw her dive after him, and they fell to the ground with a loud thump.

"I told you to never sleep here again!"

"No you didn't."

"I did too!"

Natsu rolls his eyes and attempts to roll Lucy off of his back. She sat there, her arms crossed against her chest.

"I will not move until we can fight."

Natsu stares at the wall, he puts his hands on his head to shield from any incoming attacks she would do to him but he didn't feel anything.

"Come on Natsu, show me your MMA skills."

He swore he could hear sarcasm dripping from her voice and he rolled his eyes. He could easily beat her, but that wouldn't be fun.

"Lucy come on, let me go. I don't need to have more bruises because of you."

"This is punishment for you sleeping here again!"

He winced when she started hitting his back with her fists, and he bucked her off of his back. He heard her grunt as she fell to the ground and he quickly scrambled away from her. He heard her curse when he escaped from her grasp, and he crawled to the door as fast as he could.

"Natsu get back over here!"

"Hell no!"

"NATSU!"

He heard her running at him and he dared to turn his head to see her. He really didn't wanna see her angry. It was horrifying the first time.

"Lucy let me gooooo."

He finally reached the front door but he felt his scarf being tugged back.

"Luuucceee."

He turned his head and saw her angry glare directed at him and he gulped. He thought she looked angry last time, but this time she looked furious. Like she could easily take a few hundred men down in ten seconds flat.

"Don't. You. Luce. Me."

He ducked when she threw a punch to his head but he didn't get far because of his scarf being held back by Lucy. She scoffed and pulled his scarf harder. His head followed wherever she yanked the scarf, and he stared as her knee came up to hit his head. He quickly pushed her leg away, maybe a bit too hard, and watched in horror as she fell to the ground. Again. With him following suit.

"Lucy please stop!"

The two rolled around on the ground, Natsu blocking her feeble attempts to hit him.

But she managed to get lucky and landed a stray kick to his groin.

And he screamed in pain. And she started yelling too before she got off the floor.

"OhmygoshNatsuI'msorry!"

Natsu groaned on the floor, holding his stomach and groin in pain.

"You didn't have to kick so hard."

Natsu felt like he was going to puke. And die. And puke again. He was never going to have kids now because of her.

"I'm sorry Natsu it just happened! I didn't mean to."

She stood above him, fretting about as he rolled around in pain. She didn't know what to do, she's never had to deal with this before. She winced when he got up but ended up groaning in pain.

"I feel like I'm going to puke."

"Don't puke on my floor!"

"Well you shouldn't have KICKED me in the GROIN!"

"It's your fault for spending the night again!"

"I don't deserve to get kicked there though!"

Lucy huffed in annoyance and she ran a hand through her messy hair. She did feel bad for kneeing him in his groin, but she was still really upset about him sleeping over again. And holding her inappropriately. She turned to glare at the man writhing in pain but she just huffed again. The kick should be enough punishment for now.

"I'm sorry, okay? But you sort of deserved that."

He turned his head up to her to glare at her but the sudden movement hurt his lower area slightly and he winced.

"Shut up. You owe me for hurting me this much. Like I feel like dying Lucy."

"Fine."

"No, seriously you have to-.."

He looked up at her again and noticed she had this smug look on her face. Why the hell would she look smug?

"Did you say fine?"

"Yeah. I mean I caused you pain, that was the whole point but I didn't mean to cause that much really."

Natsu leaps up from his spot on the floor and crushes her into his arms.

"Thank you! I want to do something today! You owe me that much."

"Okay, but I have practice."

"We can hang out at Fairy Tail, and play games and eat Mira's food."

"I have practice Natsu."

"And then you ca-.. Practice?"

"Yeah, I have ballet practice today."

"Let me watch!"

Lucy shrinks back at his excitement, pushing herself away from his tight grip. She wasn't ready for his sudden mood swing from hurt to excite. Someone shouldn't be doing that after being kicked in the groin.

"I thought you wanted me to go to Fairy Tail with you?"

Natsu shrugs, and he stretches his arms, wincing at the pain still lingering.

"Well you have practice, and it's only noon. It's not like we don't have all day."

Lucy sighs and she turns away from the boy. She needs to get ready if it's noon already. Her practice is typically at 1, and her teacher doesn't like anyone being a minute late. She heads to her bedroom to get her clothes set and get ready for the day. She felt like it was going to be one long day.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Natsu was running after a frantic blonde, screaming at her to slow down.

"I don't have time for this Natsu! I'm going to be late!"

"You almost forgot your bag though!"

"It's your fault I almost forgot it!"

She ran back to him and snatched it from his outstretched hand and sprinted towards the gym.

"I can't believe I'm going to be late!"

"You won't be late! You have like 10 minutes still."

"It takes me ten minutes to even get ready!"

Natsu rolls his eyes and jogs after her. It honestly wasn't his fault she might be late. She was the one that ended up taking forever to get everything ready. She just had to try and fight him one more time because she thought he was peeking at her. Which he wasn't. That's just weird. Like Lucy.

He could hear her cursing as she ran towards the gym. He wasn't too far behind her, but he watched as she entered into the building before he could make it close enough.

As he entered the building, he could hear a woman screaming somewhere down the hall. He followed the yelling and stopped when he saw Lucy standing there with some exercise clothes on and her head bowed down low. He didn't think that she was literally going to be yelled at. He quietly stepped through the door and sat in the back of the dance studio to watch her practice. The instructor continued to yell at the poor blonde before they started the actual classes. Natsu felt the need to run away when the instructor turned her head towards him.

"What are you doing here?"

"I-I'm here to watch."

"Oh?"

"A-aye."

The woman turns to her students and clicks her tongue at them and they all shuffle towards her.

"We have a guest, so I expect you to do your utmost best. Imagine this to be a true concert."

"Yes madam."

They all returned to their positions near the mirror. He spotted Lucy in the far corner doing her stretches.

Which looked like she was trying to rip her body in half.

On purpose.

He stared in horror at her stretching, watching as she brought her leg up to her chest with the other on the floor. He felt like gagging at the flexibility she had. It made him sick.

Because people should not be able to do that so easily.

He watched the girls dance for about an hour, and he honestly thought he was watching a Broadway kind of thing. If it's Broadway. After they finished their practice, he watched Lucy stand away from the girls and get her bag. He stood up to go say something to her but a girl with striking white hair stood in front of his way.

"Hi."

Natsu stares at the girl's bright blue eyes, curiosity and excitement easily spotted in them. Natsu takes a cautious step back from the girl.

"Uh… Hi."

"What brings you to a ballet practice? You don't look like the dancing type."

"I'm not the dancing type."

"Then why are you here?"

Natsu stares at the girl, crossing his arms across his chest. He wasn't quite sure what she was doing, but it was intriguing.

"I'm here to see my friend practice."

"Oh? Which one?"

The girl looks around and Natsu turns his gaze to Lucy, which the girl in front of him spotted.

"You're friends with Lucy!"

"H-how did you know?"

"I see you looking at her."

"Smart. But what do you want?"

"Well you're cute."

Natsu coughs, and he stares at her like she's insane.

"I-I'm sorry, what?"

"You're cute. And we don't really see cute here at the ballet practices all that often."

"O-oh."

"So I was wondering if we could exchange numbers?"

"S-sure?"

"Cool! I'm Lisanna by the way."

"Natsu."

"Nice to meet you Natsu."

She smiled at him, a very bright and contagious smile that he couldn't help but return. He watched as Lisanna pulled her phone out of her little pack and handed it to him.

"Go ahead and put your number in, I'll save it and stuff."

Natsu takes her phone from her hand and types in his number into her gold iPhone. He hands it back to her and she smiles, typing something into it and she tucks it away.

"Thanks Natsu!"

"Yeah."

"I'll text you sometime soon, okay?"

Natsu nods and spots Lucy walking towards them out of the corner of his eye. He waves goodbye to Lisanna, who waves back, and walks towards Lucy.

"Who was that?"

"Lisanna."

"Oh! She's very nice."

"Yeah. Nice."

Lucy stares at him, curious as to how the conversation ended up going. She hitches her bag higher up on her shoulder and motions to leave.

"Didn't you wanna go to Fairy Tail?"

She hears his stomach growl when he opens his mouth to reply and he grins sheepishly. She just smiles at him and motions for him to follow her.

"Let's grab a quick bite. I know a good place."

Natsu follows Lucy out of the little studio, weaving through the girls getting their things together.

"Can I say something?"

Lucy nods while she continues leading the way, and he puts his hands behind his head.

"Your dancing looks terrifying."

Lucy stops walking, turning just her head to stare at Natsu.

"What do you mean it's terrifying? It's a beautiful way to dance!"

"Your feet should not be pointing like that."

Lucy rolls her eyes, continuing on her way to the food she desired.

"It's not that bad. After a while you get used to it."

"There's no way you can 'get used to it'. Your feet have to hurt!"

"Not really."

"Yeah really."

"I've been doing this since I was 5 Natsu. It really doesn't hurt."

Natsu gapes at her, and she turns her head to see his mouth wide open.

"How else do you think I got a full ride scholarship?"

Natsu closes her mouth, crossing his arms across his chest. He pouted silently until he noticed a familiar shop.

"Hey! That's where Levy works!"

"You know Levy?"

"Yeah! She's a friend of mine."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, we've known each other for a long time now. She's really nice."

Lucy hummed a little reply and they continued their trek in silence. It was a comfortable silence, and she didn't mind it at all. They walked along, and Lucy could see the small sign for the shop coming up soon.

She felt her stomach growl and started to walk faster, itching for a good snack from the shop. She heard Natsu huff when she sped up her walking and she smirked.

"I thought you were hungry?"

"Doesn't mean you gotta walk so fast!"

Lucy just laughs at the poor man and they entire the shop. Natsu hears the familiar greeting from a petite bluenette and he grins, waving to her.

"Levy!"

Levy looks up and sees Natsu and Lucy, and she smiles at the two.

"I'll be with you guys in a bit!"

Natsu nods and turns to talk to Lucy but she's already standing in front of the counter to order. Shes twirling a strand of hair on her finger and biting her lower lip in thought, and he hears this small thought in the back of his mind. Which he quickly ignores, his face a slight shade of pink. The two had only just started to know each other. With a quick shake of his head, he strides over to the blonde who is in deep thought and mumbling to herself.

"Should I get breakfast or should I just get a sandwich. Hmm, maybe I should get a salad."

Natsu snickers at her, and she turns her head towards him. She looked like she could tear him apart easily.

"What?"

"Nothing."

He coughs and looks up at the menu board, noticing that anything that was edible didn't exactly sound like something he would like. His face fell, and he went to stare at Levy. She continued to make drinks, ignoring the fact that he was very much so glaring at her.

"I know what I want now."

Natsu turns to Lucy, who has a grin on her face and she waves to Levy, who gladly walks over to her. Levy ignores Natsu's glares once again, and helps Lucy with her order. The two chat for a while, well aware that they're ignoring Natsu before they finally give up and let him have his chance to order. Natsu grumbles to himself after he's placed his order with Levy, turning on his heel to talk to Lucy who had disappeared once again. He finds her in the corner of the store sipping on some iced drink. Which he couldn't figure out how she got, Levy was way too busy to help them. He didn't want to think too hard on it, he was really hungry and really grumpy. He stumbled over to the table she was at and flopped onto the chair there.

"I'm hungry."

"Hi hungry."

Natsu glares at her, and Lucy just smirks at him as she takes another sip from her drink.

"How'd you get that?"

"I got it."

"But how?"

"Natsu you don't wanna question me right now."

Natsu huffs and places his forehead on his cool table, holding his grumbling stomach.

"I'm hungry."

"I've heard. Just a little bit longer okay? She's busy."

Natsu just huffs once more, rolling his head around on the table.

"I don't wanna wait!"

Lucy rolls her eyes at the pink haired man lying on the table. It wasn't that long of a wait, but he was apparently impatient. You learn new things every day.

"Look, I think I see her coming now!"

Natsu's head shoots up from the table and he instantly finds Levy bringing them a couple plates of food. He could feel his mouth watering with the thought of finally eating some food.

"Okay! I got the spicy grilled chicken sandwich for Natsu with some fries. And for Lucy I have a grilled Panini and a cup of soup."

Natsu's eyes trailed the food being placed in front of him, eager to just dig into his meal. He waited until Lucy had received her food before he went savage on his food. Lucy stared at him while he devoured his meal, slowly taking bites of her own as she continued to watch this horrendous sight.

"How do you do that?"

Natsu looks up at her mid bite, and he slows his roll.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean how are you eating something like that? It honestly looks horrible."

"Not really."

"You're getting food everywhere Natsu."

"And you're not eating. Are you going to eat that?"

Lucy brings her plates closer to her and sticks her tongue out at him.

"Back off this is mine!"

Natsu pouts, slouching in his seat as he picks at the crumbs on his plate while he waits for a slow blonde to finish her meal. After a few more minutes of him picking at his stuff, he hears a throat being cleared and he looks up to see Lucy standing.

"You ready?"

Natsu nods, grabbing their bags and he starts heading towards the exit. Lucy giggles and follows behind him, waving at Levy as they leave the building.

"Where to next?"
