Summary: Once again Natsu takes things literally and once again he comes off as a great big pervert.

Pairings: Natsu/Lucy.

Author's Note: FF is fixed! But unfortunately I'm too lazy and tired to go through all the previous reviews and reply to them personally. So here's a great big THANK YOU for all of you making the effort despite the technical difficulties. Please enjoy.

Lucy was used to Natsu staring at her.

Usually it was with a stupid look as he tried to figure out her latest 'weirdness' as he called it. Sometimes it was a strange look of surprise and fondness that made Lucy's stomach flutter nervously. Increasingly it has become this intense, smouldering, look that made her stomach do all sort of acrobatics….then Natsu usually ruined it with his big fat mouth and everything goes back to normal.

This time though it was different.

Lucy literally felt like she was being stripped naked as Natsu's eyes darkened to full intensity. Her skin felt inflamed with embarrassment and excitement as he dragged his eyes to various parts of her body, mostly, much to her annoyance, at her breasts.

Lucy had to admit once the initial thrill of Natsu realising she was a girl wore off, irritation steadily took place. Especially as he had yet to act upon his newfound realisation. Much to her everlasting annoyance. "Natsu," Lucy said in a deceptively calm tone as she grinded her teeth together, "what on earth are you doing?"

"Undressing you with my eyes," Natsu replied simply. Lucy choked on her own scream of 'what?!' as she promptly covered her breasts with her arms so her hands would cover her other private areas. "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucy!" Natsu whined as he pulled her arms. It was a valiant struggle as Lucy did her best to fight Natsu off but Natsu was stronger and soon enough he managed to pin her arms against her sides as he lowered a little to fully look at her heaving, flushed, chest. "Don't do that!" he ordered childishly. "I'm trying to make your bra jump off."

SLAP!

With fury fuelled strength, Lucy pulled out of Natsu's vice-like grip and slapped him as hard as she could. "P-P-P-Pervert!" she stuttered. "Get out of my apartment."

"But-"

"NOW!"

The rest of the week was spent with Natsu sulking as Lucy left a rather permanent red mark on his cheek that caused Gajeel and Gray to breakdown into a sniggering mess every time they saw it…..it didn't stop him from trying to will Lucy's skirt into leaping off her body each and every time she bent over though.
