The two mages sat at the bar and ordered their breakfast.

While they waited, Natsu tried a different tactic. "Lucy, you'll get cold."

Lucy sighed deeply. "We've finished this conversation Natsu."

"But you will Lucy." Natsu insisted, directing his most persuasive expression at the girl beside him.

Lucy ignored his expression, refusing to be convinced by his puppy dog eyes. "Then I'll invest in a heater."

Natsu smirked in triumph, leaning back to cross his arms. "You can't afford to power a heater."

Lucy glared at him. "It's less expensive than keeping my fridge fully stocked for my current heater."

Mira's eyes twinkled as she placed their food in front of them.

Natsu turned his attention to his food, grinning smugly as if he had managed to win their argument.

Idiot, Lucy thought as she also began to eat her food. Deliberately keeping her expression neutral as Mira's grin grew wider and wider.
