Summary: Natsu lacks professionalism sometimes….
Pairings: Natsu/Lucy and Natsu/Lucy/Happy friendship.
YouTube Prompt: Someone asked me to prompt an Aquarius video to 'Part of Your World' from Disney's Little Mermaid as a tribute to Aquarius no longer being part of Lucy's world in the latest manga chapters…..personally I think the song is more suited for Juvia while she's stalking Gray and the rest of Team Natsu. So I'll prompt both.
Lucy was so relieved to get off the train (once again Natsu's motion sickness kicked in before they even got on the contraption) and to start working (her rent was due again) that when she spotted the owner of the café, easily recognised by the logo on her shirt that matched the picture on the job flyer, she bounded over like an eager puppy (Happy's words).
"Hello," she said eagerly as she shook the owner's hand, "I'm Lucy Heartfilla and this is Natsu Dragneel," Natsu groaned pathetically, his stomach still doing turns from the train ride obviously, "and Happy," Happy nodded and gave a little wave before he went back to keeping Natsu standing up right. "We're from Fairy Tail and-"
"Oh thank God you're here!" the owner interrupted as she hugged Lucy. Lucy couldn't help but stiffen slightly. She wasn't used to having strangers fling themselves at her unless it was to get a quick grope (and be punched by Natsu) or in an attempt to kill her (and be punched by Natsu with a burning fist). £I'm so glad you finally answered our job request, we've been desperate for some help for quite some time. I'm Mrs Fluck and-"
"Pfft!" Natsu snorted. "Fluck."
"Tee-hee," Happy giggled, "like that word."
Mrs Fluck frowned at that while Lucy shot a warning glare at the two morons. "I beg your pardon?" Mrs Fluck said huffily. "What exactly do you mean?"
"Oh nothing," Natsu dismissed cheerfully, "don't mind us Mrs Fuck."
Lucy face-palmed at that while Happy gave up all pretences of being a sane cat and rolled on the floor in a heap of giggles.
Mrs Fluck's face, however, went stark white and then suddenly flushed to a deep red before it slowly turned to a putrid purple of anger. "It's Mrs Fluck!" she hissed.
Natsu blinked at her dumbly. "Is that even a real name?" he asked stupidly, Lucy groaned and hid her face while Happy continued to laugh, "Are you sure you didn't just add an l in there to keep it from being so embarrassing?"
"No!"
"'Cause I wouldn't like be called Mr Fuck," Natsu carried on, "That Snow Cone of a bastard would never let me live it down."
"My name isn't Mrs Fuck!" Mrs Fluck shrieked which caused several people to pause, stop, and start staring at them. Oh God! "It's Mrs Fluck. F-l-u-c-k, Fluck, and there is nothing funny or embarrassing about it."
"Ne, ne," Happy said as he flew up shakily, mirth glittered in his eyes and Lucy dreaded to what was going to happen next. "Are you sure it's isn't Pluck? Because Fluck isn't a real word or name but Pluck is. Do you pluck chickens?"
"THAT'S IT!" Mrs Fluck screamed. "Get out! Get out now! I don't care how desperate for help we are, I don't want to ever see you brats again! Out! Out now!"
"Jeeze, all right," Natsu said as he rolled his eyes, "we're leaving. C'mon Luce," he grabbed Lucy by the wrist and dragged her out. "I hope you get remarried and loose that dreadful name, Mrs Fuck," he said cheerfully before he turned away from what would have been the easiest two hundred thousand jewels they would have made.
"IT'S MRS FLUCK!"
"Whatever," Natsu called back. "Wow, can you believe some people? I don't think even Erza and Laxus are as rude as that woman," he said casually as if he hadn't just made someone completely and utterly lose their temper.
"I know," Happy agreed, "even Lucy isn't that uptight. And we've broken all of her things and made her apartment very dirty several times."
"Some people just don't know how to control their tempers," Natsu shook his head, "that woman was ridiculous, and to think I rode that devil train to help her. How ungrateful, don't you think Lucy? Lucy?" Natsu finally realised that she wasn't speaking to him and turned his irritatingly adorably dumb face to look at her. "Hey, are you all right Luce?" he asked sweetly.
He was so clueless and stupid and annoying and irritating…it's no wonder that Lucy lost her own temper.
"NO I AM NOT ALL RIGHT!" she screamed as she yanked her arm away from Natsu. "YOU JUST LOST US TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND JEWELS AND MY RENT IS DUE THIS WEEKEND! I'M GOING TO BE HOMELESS BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T KEEP YOUR LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM TO YOURSELVES! THAT'S IT! I AM NEVER GOING ON A JOB WITH YOU TWO IMMATURE BRATS AGAIN!"
And at that, she stormed off down the street with her head held up high…..
…..not that it lasted long, Natsu immediately tackled her to the ground and begged her desperately to not leave him.
To make things worse Happy joined by sobbing into her breasts about how he didn't want to lose Lucy again.
Eventually the local guards had to ask them to stop making such a scene.
Oh God!
