Natsu x Kagura
"speaking"
"thinking"
On with the story
Port Hargeon
The home of Mermaid Heel
The sea was breezing its waves as the seagull flies around the air
Mermaid Heel's restaurant was opened up as the regular customers filled the place up
"Milliana-chan! A refill please!" a customer hollered to Milliana
"Nyaa! Got it!" Milliana replied while serving some customers
"here ya go!" Risley said with a grin as she served up a plate of grilled fish to a customer
"welcome to Mermaid Heel" Arana welcomed some customers into their restaurant as every day the girls work hard for their restaurant
"thank you for coming" Kagura bowed to some customers who had paid for their meal
"thanks for the delicious meal as always, Kagura-chan" the customer replied "it was great eating here as always"
Kagura sighs a bit tired as the number of customers just keep coming every minute
"looks like we're going to have another hard work today" Kagura said before feeling her apron get tugged bellow
Kagura looks down and sees Hana tugging on Kagura's apron while cooing to her
"Hana, why are you here?" Kagura asked while picking her daughter up and carrying her
"ma….ma" Hana babbled out while giving her mother a cute laugh
Kagura sighs while smiling as she rubs her nose with Hana's
"Hana" Natsu's voice called out to his daughter as the man came out from the back kitchen "where did you go?"
Kagura's face look stern to her husband as she left him to look after their daughter while she and the others work on their restaurant
"Natsu, did you took your eyes off of Hana?" Kagura asked with a stern voice which made Natsu instantly shrink in fear
"u-um…" Natsu tried to make up an excuse but his wife's hard stare made him shut up in an instant
"I told you since last time that one of us has to work while the other takes care of Hana!" Kagura nagged at her husband as Arana and the others sighs a bit to the daily nagging of the two
"b-but, Hana is a fast crawler! She can disappear just in a second while I was making her milk!" Natsu said trying to calm his wife
"and where do you think she got that from, huh?" Kagura said as Natsu immediately shrinks down to the size of an egg
"u-uh" Natsu tried to speak but Kagura instantly stopped him
"that's it!" Kagura said "from today on, you have to work! I'm tired of you making up excuses when taking care of Hana!"
"b-but" Natsu tried to retort but Kagura glared at him
"get a job or you will be sleeping outside tomorrow night" Kagura said in a hard voice
"a-aye" Natsu replied
Hana looks at both of her parents before she yawned
The next day came as Natsu was at the town and in search of a job
He tried to go to many jobs, gardener? Don't have any knowledge in any plants, House Builder? Have weak strength, cook? Bad at it. Natsu was a stump as he was trying to find a job and it was hard finding the one that fits him
Natsu was now at Simon's work shop which was a delivery station
"so, Kagura told you to get a job? Harsh" Simon said as he was sitting at a table with Natsu
"yeah, it's hard trying to find a job now" Natsu said sighing tiredly
"what about your old job before you know?" Simon said
"the library got a full timer there already so they can't hire anyone anymore" Natsu said as the first job, he ever had was being a librarian and the store had a new worker there
"man, you're really at a stump now" Simon said crossing his arms "there aren't anymore place hiring in Hargeon and most place hiring are fishing"
"what am I going to do?" Natsu asked himself as he laid his face on the table "if I don't get a job by evening, Kagura is going to make me sleep outside and it's going to be winter soon!"
Simon started to think of anything that might help the man out before a light bulb lit above his head
"I got it!" Simon said while snapping his fingers
At Mermaid Heel, Arana and the others were serving their customers while Kagura was the cashier and was in the middle of taking care of Hana
"upsy daisy" Kagura lifted up Hana up and down on her lap as the child laughs happily to her mother
Kagura smiled as she rubs her nose to Hana's cheeks, eliciting a giggle from her
"ne, Kagura. Are you sure it was a good idea letting Natsu out to get a job?" Arana asked the swordswoman while passing by with an empty metal tray in hand
"the man of the house has to provide for his family, correct? Then it is best for him to make an example of himself" Kagura said before hearing Hana babbling to her
Hana giggles and smiles to her mother who smiled back and gave Hana many loving kisses
"you're really sure of this being a good idea or something?" Arana asked again
"if he can't be a man of his own word then he shouldn't be a man at all" Kagura said before smiling happily to Hana who called out to her with "mama mama"
"if you say so" Arana said before walking off
Kagura continues to shower affection and kisses to Hana as the child giggles and laugh in glee to her mother
Night came as Mermaid Heel closed up their restaurant
"it's already 8 and he hasn't come back home yet" Kagura said while carrying Hana as the child had fallen asleep in her mother's arms "where on earth is he?"
Kagura waited for her husband to come back home as Arana and the others head in first to sleep
After an hour of waiting, Kagura sees her husband running back home while wearing a tux of some sort
"s-sorry for coming home late!" Natsu said while catching his breath
"you had better have a good excuse for making me wait" Kagura said while glaring down on Natsu
"i-I got a job! Just like I said!" Natsu said while easing off from his wife
"and that is?" Kagura replied
"a bartender at a pub bar a few house away from here" Natsu said as he takes out a piece of paper and it was a job hiring paper for a bartender "I got the job and had my first shift"
Kagura eyed at the paper before turning around
"get another job" Kagura said while walking back to the door
"eh? But" Natsu spoke out before Kagura cuts him off
"you reek of alcohol and I would not have our daughter growing up with a father who always reeks of alcohol" Kagura said making her way to the door and open it
"too cruel….and i spent the entire day finding the job" Natsu cried in tears as his wife was too cruel "now I have to sleep outside forever?"
"you did keep your word" Kagura spoke out stopping at the door "for that, you may sleep inside for tonight"
Natsu looks at Kagura as he sees her smiling to him
"you better find a good job if you want to be with me" Kagura said before going inside
Natsu looks to her before he quickly ran inside and close the door
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
