"Hey Natsu, mind getting me the pancake griddle from that pantry right there?" Lucy turned to him and motioned to the bottom cabinet with her foot.
"Sure thing." He nodded and walked over to the cabinet, opening it up and looking around for the griddle. Lucy looked at him before her thoughts went back to her dream last night.
Lucy sat at a dinner table in a fancy restaurant. She clinked a champagne glass, with non other than, Natsu.
"This is such a nice place Natsu, I'm so glad you picked it." She smiled and sipped her champagne.
"Only the nicest for my girlfriend." He flashed a grin, his canine catching the light from the candles.
He set down the glass and leaned over, kissing her softly on the lips. She kissed back as gently. He pulled away, which made her frown and pout, wanting another soft kiss from the man. She grabbed his face and pressed her lips to his again. Slightly rougher
"I found it, where should I put it?" He stood up, holding the griddle.
"Oh!" She snapped from her memory and looked over to him, "Just put it on the counter and plug it in please." She smiled and turned towards the counter.
She started to pour the batter onto the griddle to make several pancakes and grabbed the spatula. She hummed a soft tune as she flipped the pancakes, making sure they were cooked perfectly. Her voice entranced him, he leaned against the fridge and watched her cook. She grabbed a plate from the pantry and pilled two pancakes on stop of it, handing it over to him.
"Here ya go!" She smiled, "Butters on the table, syrups in the cupboard. Utensils are on the table as well." She put her pancakes on another plate, turned off the griddle and walked over to the kitchen table. Lucy and Natsu sat side by side and prepared their pancakes. "Why are you here early anyway? Your time today wasn't until 3"
"Oh, I was bored and my "friend" is busy with his girlfriend today. He's proposing, can't say I'm surprised, he's been in love with that bookworm forever."
"Who's your friend?"
"Gajeel."
"Gajeel's proposing to Levy?!" She looked at him in awe and almost jumped from her seat.
"Shoot... Yeah he is." He chuckled and nodded, looking at her. The sight of her all excited and giddy made her look so cute. Especially with her frizzy ponytail.
"That's so amazing! She's gonna be so happy!" She began to think for a moment, then laughed to herself, "She's gonna be so happy, I'm not gonna see her for days." Natsu laughed along with her and nodded, running his hand through his locks and taking a bite of his pancakes.
Their talks continued all the way through breakfast, and long after they finished. He helped her with the dishes and the still talked.
"Favorite color?" Natsu looked at her as he put the plate in the dishwasher.
"Pink. You?" She smiled and began to scrub the syrup off the plate.
"Red." He smiled back. Eventually they finished the dishes and the conversation was moved to the living room.
They talked until noon, that's when Jude came back home.
