"oh he didn't say that"
"oh he did"
both Yuki and Lucy were having a 'serious' talk on the living room, both sitting on the sofa, body tilted face to face as Yukino narrated all the words Natsu said on early morning.
"so it means I'll be living with them?"
"basically"
"what?"
"i mean it's your choice"
"i didn't applied as a baby sitter!"
"dear cousin you're still holding the last decision. it's your life, your choice, not mine"
"then why did he come to you first thing?"
"firstly you're temporarily taking my spot at the restaurant and second he kinda wanted to ask permission?"
silence invaded them for a minute and goosun's long heavy sigh was been heared
"should i meet with him?"
the younger just shrugged, "your choice"
she then groaned and stomped away, up to her room to change into a much more decent clothes.
don't get her wrong, she loves Sol so much, she doesn't know if it's just because she loves kids or what but nevertheless, the feeling of Sol to her is different.
the way the kid grew comfortable to her feels like she's the one who gave birth to the child. it's kinda exaggerated but it's true. she felt like a mom when she's around.
slipping in her fitted plain green turtleneck top, denim jeans and white trainers, Lucy then grabbed her phone, wallet and car keys, hurriedly coming down the stairs with her footsteps catching the younger's attention.
"but it's already almost 11?"
yup it does, it's past 10 in the evening and she doesn't give a single damn.
"I'll come back" that's all what she said before running through the door, to the garage to get her own car and drive off the road.
well Yukino did say Sol is at Gray's and she clearly remember that if Natsu will drop the kid to them, he'll be more likely fetch her at 11- and it's 15 minutes till 11.

Natsu politely bowed at the last customer good bye before he finally sighed in relief.
"you've done well Natsu"
he then stepped out of the counters while removing his apron, unbuttoned the last three buttons of his white dress shirt because he felt suffocated.
Sting already promised and volunteered to clean the table first thing in the morning when he arrives so Natsu can leave quickly and rest.
just as he was about to flick the last light off, the door flung open revealing the girl whom he didn't see for the last 3 days.
"Natsu!" she called and ran infront of him
the said guy flashed a smile - the one's he can pull off when this specific girl is around. "you came late".
his smile faded when she didn't even smiled and just remained there.
"Natsu..."
Lucy pressed her lips into a thin line and mentally debated in her mind. she then mumbled a curse when she felt her heart messing with her brain for a moment.
"Luce? anything wrong?"
"n-no"
yes how can i stop myself for imagining how you look the moment you wake up when i'll live with you.
"are you sure?"
"yeah?"
no actually i want to live with you..for sol... think?
"50-"
"Natsu, i accept the offer"
the said guy raised a brow and she once again mumble a curse word, "t-the once you talked about..with Yuki" she explained almost whispering
"it d-doesn't matter if you don't pay me..i'm just there like a..an older sister! yes a sister for Soll..s-so like.. baby sitter is so overused"
Natsu snorted at how she looks so uneasy, and even amused when she started stammering, "anything funny?" she asked with a raised brow
"no..actually i don't know what to say" and that's how silence got between them
Lucy snapped her fingers and flashed a smile, "I'll start tomorrow what can you say?"
and Natsu just stood there. truly in shock–he just fully absorbed what she meant to say by now

"you're really leaving me right now" Yuki said, busy wiping her invisible tears letting out fake sobs.
the older rolled her eyes and pulled the luggage holder up and locked it. "I'm going back every weekends idiot"
"but five days of being alone! gosh i hate it"
"you may or may not invite that waiter you found attractive and cuddle to bed"
"who's that again?"
"well..this is it" Lucy eyed every corners of the room she'll be staying in.
Lucy chuckle, "silly you should get ready by now. you'll be late"
"yeah Loke might scold me" she then turned and smiled brightly, "i'll visit if I have time. please stay safe and enjoy your stay there"
Lucy ruffled her hair with a giggle and nodded, "you too..and please don't tell mom about it first. let me tell her next week"
"okay sure but if anything goes wrong you come back here"
"well if there is then i will.. I'll really have to go Yuki"
"see you again soonest"

white with black linings, rectangular window, a bathroom, queen sized bed, closet, vanity, bed side table and it's air-conditioned. it was smaller than her actual room but it's still spacious for a single person like her.
Lucy started to unpack, neatly organizing her clothes and other stuffs, she just brought a week worthy of clothes because she'll just be staying every
weekdays and an extra 2 pairs for emergency. after almost an hour, she finally stepped out and the oozing smell of bacons lingered on her nose as she took the staircase.
"bacons!" she exclaimed the moment she slid in the kitchen which made the guy leaped in shock but eventually chuckled because of her cuteness
"well i thought you had breakfast"
"i did" she answered with a sheepish smile.
"don't worry i cooked extra just incase you got hungry again" he said and focused on frying
"Aaaaaaaa you the best" she replied while punching the air and ran back to the living room
well Natsu may or may not saw her as a kid for a moment
"did i just brought another kid in?"
