Chapter 8~ Apartment hunting

Lucy POV

"Lucy will return to her life in earthland. She will be here for a week every month. You will all have to be here from 7 in the morning until noon or later if you choose for training." My mom explained, "Starting today Natsu will move in with her. In earthland, you will share a room. Don't do any thing bad." Natsu looked so confused. "Here you will have joined rooms."

Sue appeared and opened a door. "I apologise for the intrusion, but today is your visiting day. Your final visiting day."

"You will go and comeback tonight. We will have a celebration tomorrow then you will take your things back to earthland." My dad said as he did some paper work. "GO!"

All at once we rushed in through the door and ended up in….

NATSU'S HOUSE!?

This is a mess of a house. Fish guts in a trash can in the corner. Clothes and papers everywhere. Luckily, Erza beat Natsu until he cleaned up. Now it looked like a living place. Natsu was so out f breath when we got to the guild. Poor guy.

"Here," I handed him some of Mira's stew and a glass of orange juice, "You look like you could use it. Here is a fish for Happy. I got the biggest one we have."

They looked and hugged me with tears in their eyes "THANK YOU, LUCY!" I left to the washroom.

Natsu POV

In about 5 minutes, I had finished by food. Happy too. Lucy was coming back and had almost reached me when… I tripped running up to her and spilled the last of my orange juice all over her shirt.

"I'm so sorry!" I started to wipe her shirt with my hands

I pulled away as soon I realized I was touching her…um… bust.

She was blushing profusely, "It's fine, really. I just have nothing to wear." She walked up to Mira to see if she had anything she could wear. She was always the one who kept spare clothes. She came back "She has nothing. Oh well, I'll just go back to the magic realm and get something. I'll be either wearing a gown or a night dress."

"No," I didn't want her to draw stares while we were in town a getting an apartment in a gown or have pervert's look at her in her night dress. I took of my shirt. It's the one I was wearing while on Tenrou island. "Wear this. You can tie a knot in the front. I see girls doing it all the time. I have an extra somewhere in Happy's bag."

"AYE SIR!" Happy threw a shirt at me.

"Thanks. I'm going to go and change." After about 5 minutes she was back. Damn, she looks so hot in my clothes. I just wanna… I'll keep it PG.

"Let's go look for a house Luce. I have to stay with you now, so we need a 2-bedroom house."

"Natsu, did you forget? We need to share a room." She replied as she tied her hair into a high ponytail.

"At night. Plus, we'll need a room for Happy, and a place to keep my stuff in." She nodded and then we left.

-Time skip 3 hours minutes-

It was hard too find a nice 2-bedroom place around 150 000 jewels a month. It was either cheap rent, 2-bedroom place that was being sold by someone shady or the place was falling apart, smelled like rotting. That or it was what we were looking for way too much. "UGH! This is so hard!" I complained.

Lucy smacked me on the head, "Natsu, what we are looking for is rare. It will take a long time to find one." We looked around the area and saw a 'For Rent' sign. "Look, Luce! One is right there."

"Let's go look." We went over and walked inn and were greeted by a blonde-haired dude who looked like he was our age, 24 or 25. Maybe even 26.

"Hi, my name is Derrick Oran." He was staring at Lucy. "Are you and your boyfriend looking for an apartment?"

I was about to say yes, so he wouldn't flirt with Lucy. She interrupted before I could "Yeah, we're looking for an apartment, but we're not dating. We are just friends." I don't know why, but that hurt.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Why don't we look around either way?" He had a god damn playboy, charming smile on his face. Lucy was blushing and I wanted nothing more than to punch this guy in the face.

We looked around and it was an amazing house. It had a big kitchen with a big fridge and island. It was an eat-in kitchen. The living room was a good size. Unlike Lucy's old place, we could fit all our friends in this one. It was a 2-bedroom place. The master bedroom was about half a bedroom bigger than her old one. While the other one was a quarter smaller then the master bedroom. It had 2 washrooms'. One attached to the master bedroom, and one was in the hall next to the 2nd bedroom. The master bedroom had a walk-in closet and the other one had a big one, but not a walk-in closet.

"This place costs around 165 000 jewel a month." The entire time he was staring at Luce. Not once did he look or even ask about me. He asked Lucy all sorts of things. "I'll let you two talk." He walked off.

"It's the best place we've seen. It's a little much but it's worth it." She was staring at Derrick.

"Let's get it. It's an amazing place. Plus, it's super close too the guild." I waved my hand in her face as I spoke.

We agreed to get the place. We told Derrick we wanted it. "Alright I'll give you some forms to fill out. You can move in 2 weeks from Friday."We got the forms and filled them out. They asked for our information and we signed a couple contracts. We were about to leave when, "Hey, Lucy," Derrick came up behind us, "Want to go out on Saturday?"

"I'm sorry, I would love to but I have work. I'm not looking for a relationship either." Lucy was talking supper apolitically.

"Okay. I'll see you in a week. One more thing before you go. I need to show these to my boss before you can get this place officially. I'll give you any changes made next week when we meet up."

Today has been a long day.

Wow. That is probably the longest chapter I have ever written. Anyway, I'm thinking of starting another story. I have two ideas. You let me know which one you want at the following link. There are 'don't start one' and 'I don't care' options.
