"Are you fucking kidding me?" Lucy crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.

"No, I'm not, now can you help me out please?" Natsu groaned as groomed his calloused hands through his hair.

"You called me down here with me thinking you were in some life threatening situation,"

"It is life threatening!"

"Lucy, it's not. All you did was lock yourself out of the house." The blonde huffed as she turned away from the mafia boss in front of her.

"Someone could've came and kidnapped me while I waited for you," Suddenly Natsu bursted into a fit of laughter and Lucy simply looked at him with a confused glare. "What the hell is so funny?" Natsu looked up at the blonde and wiped a tear out of his eye.

"You've beat the shit out of men twice your size, and killed trained assassins. Do you really think that getting your mailbox keys mixed up with your door key is a life threatening situation?" Lucy crossed her arms over her chest and nodded.

"Yes, I do." Natsu simply chuckled to himself and shook his head. She's a stubborn one. He thought as he took his keys out of his pocket. When he unlocked and opened the door his eyes widened at what he saw. When he refused to move Lucy narrowed her eyes and tried to get passed him.

"Why the hell are you-" when she walked in her home she was met with a furious sight. Her couch was practically ripped to shreds, her clothes were all over the apartment with liquids that she didn't even want to think about on it. The tv had a giant hole in it and on her wall in giant red letters said: WE'RE COMING FOR YOU. Lucy closed her eyes as she tried to control her anger. She took deep breaths and clenched her fists at her side.

Natsu walked further in the house while he allowed Lucy to have a moment to herself. Everything was basically ruined. Nothing looked like it could be salvaged out of this mess. He walked inside of her room, which looked like what got the beating worst. Her bed was basically fried to a crisp, it looked like they pissed on some of her clothes, and book pages were all over the room. That was only the beginning of the mess. Natsu shook his head as he made his way back to the living room. As he walked down the hallway he heard a loud thump in the living room. When he ran towards the sound he was expecting to see a fight of some sort, not lucy with her fist in the wall. Lucy turned towards him and narrowed her eyes.

"I couldn't find anything that could be salvaged back there." he said, answering her silent question. Lucy simply huffed and pulled her hand out of the wall. She combed her hands through her hair and leaned against the wall.

"Well what now?" Natsu sighed as he walked towards the door.

"You're gonna be living with me for a while." Lucy blanched. He's not serious. She thought to herself. Her and Natsu, living together… that's a recipe for disaster. Someone wasn't going to make it out alive, and she had a feeling it was going to be her.

"I could stay with Levy." she threw out on a whim. Natsu looked back at her a arched a pink eyebrow.

"You really wanna hear her and metal breath fucking every night?" Lucy choked on her spit.

"Thought so. Come on, I'm tired." Lucy sighed as she followed him to his car.

It shouldn't be that bad living with a demon right?

Lucy's eyes widen at the size and Natsu's home. It looked like a small village could live there in still have some room.

"What the fuck is wrong with your face?"

Sometimes she couldn't believe how powerful he was. He was such an idiot it was stupid. But Natsu has weird mood swings. One minute he acts like a normal twenty year old and the next he's some murder robot who has it out for the world.

"How can you live by yourself in such a huge house?" Natsu simply shrugged as he walked into the oversized mansion. Lucy sighed and followed.

A little over an hour later Natsu was staring intently at the blonde as she dried her hair in his bathroom mirror. She was wearing a pair of his blue boxers with one his t shirts that was like a short gown on her. As he stared at her only one question kept forming in his head. Why the fuck is she so sexy? Natsu shook his head as an attempt to rid the thoughts from his head. When he looked back in the blonde's direction she was leaning

against the door frame with a cocky smirk on her face.

"Why the hell do you have that look on your face?" Lucy shook her head as she walked towards the pinkette.

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, where will I be sleeping?" Natsu looked at the blonde questionably and then rolled his eyes.

"There's a guest room down the hall, you'll be in there until we figure out what's going on." The blonde nodded and followed.

When they arrived in her room the blonde was pleasently surprised. It was the same size, if not bigger than the room at her old apartment, and had a bathroom atatched to it. She could live with this. After bidding Natsu goodnight, she rid herself of her clothes and put on an overized shirt she managed to salvage from that that was her home.

"Lucy!" she was running. Running faster than she had thought possible. She knew that voice. It's the same voice that used to read to her every night before bedtime. The same melodic voice that sang to her whenever she scraped her knee. She loved the owner of that voice more than anyone else.

"Mom, I'm coming!" tears were falling from her glossy brown eyes. Her mother has the same eyes as her, same color hair, same complexion, people always said they looked like twins.

Impossibly, Lucy began to run faster when she spotted a door. Her legs were on fire, her chest was aching and her heart felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. Finally, she approached and opened the door. When she walked in the room she felt like she was about to puke. Her mother, lay there in the middle of the room, her throat slit and gashes all over her body. Lucy walked up to the body slowly, almost as if to give her mother's wounds time to vanish. She kneeled down beside her; her knees now covered in blood. Her mother's blood.

"I'm so sorry," she began to sob uncontrollably. "If I had gotten here faster I could've protected you."

"Lucy." her eyes widened. She knew that voice. That cold voice that never held any emotion. The same voice that gave her her orders. The same cold voice that almost dragged her to her death several times.

"Dad." she whispered.

"Come with me, you have work to do." Lucy screamed over her mother's dead body.

That's all she could do.

That's all she'll ever did.

"Lucy." she knew that voice to. "Lucy!" Even though it was a new one she knew she'd grow to love it. "LUCY!"

She shot up on the bed. Her breathing was heavy, she was covered in sweat, and she could still feel the tears streaming down her face. "Natsu?" Her voice sounds so weak. Lucy shook her head. She doesn't like being weak.

Before she knew it she was latched onto Natsu with trembling fingers. She cried into his chest, and surprisingly he returned her embrace. He rubbed soothing circles on her back and sat his chin on her head.

When she stopped shaking and regulated her breathing he pulled away to see her staring off into space. "Come on," the blonde was taken out of her stupor and looked at the man in front of her. She had never heard his voice sound so soothing.

"Where are we going?"

"My room. You're sleeping with me from now on." Lucy bit the inside of her cheek and nodded. Natsu stood up and lifted Lucy with him. She gave a small yelp and wrapped her hands around his neck. He snickered as he made his way to his room. For Lucy the walk felt incredibly long, and she didn't know of that was a good or bad thing. Although she felt safe and his embrace, she felt like a burden.

Finally, after what felt like hours they were finally in Natsu's room. He sat her gently on the bed and walked on the other side. She felt the bed sink when he got in bed. She closed her eyes and willed herself to fall back to sleep, but whenever he closed his eyes all she could see was her mother's dead body and hear her father's cold and calculating voice. Just as she felt tears stinging in the back of her eyes, she felt a warm arm wrap around her waist. She looked back to see onyx eyes staring back at her.

"Sleep, you've got work tomorrow" Lucy chuckled and turned back around.

Maybe she won't have to work about those nightmares for a while.
