Taking in a deep breath, Lucy felt her heart pound through her chest as if it was going to jump out any second. She stood in front of her boss' office, her fist shaking as it was centimeters away from brushing against the door.

She was nervous.

She didn't know how it was going to turn out but she was afraid.

Why?

Because she was now married to an actor that she had the biggest crush on since high school? Or because this might bring her popularity up in the public world? Or maybe because this might drop or bring her up in work? What was the outcome?

"C'mon, Lucy," the blonde muttered to herself. "just knock... knock." She told herself but every time she tried to knock, her fist didn't move. "Knock."

Forcing herself to knock, her fist collided with the door harder than it should have and she felt the pain shoot through her hand, a squeak flying out of her lips. She placed her hand between her legs as she whimpered out in pain, the voice of her boss being heard from behind the door, giving her permission to enter.

"Here we go, Lucy." The woman shook off the pain in her hand to take another deep breath in and open the door to the office.

She noticed the male at his desk, looking somewhat stressed out as he smoked a cigar. When he looked up, he offered a small smile.

"Ah, Lucy, welcome." He said as he placed his cigar down and stood up, straightening his shirt. "What can I do for you?"

"G—good morning, sir." Lucy swallowed thickly as she took in another deep breath. "I, uh, I have news for you."

"News?" He questioned until he realized what she might mean. "Oh! For your scoop, I assume?"

"Well, sort of."

"Sort of?"

"I have some scoop but you see... the scoop is about... me."

"You?" He said in a more confused and surprised tone of voice making her nod and look everywhere else but him. "What do you mean it's about you? Please explain," he gestured towards the seat in front of his desk making Lucy slowly approach him and sit down in front of him.

Lucy felt all jittery inside as she looked down at her lap, her fingers laced together in nervousness.

"Well you see... last night I sort of... erm, I got, uh, I got married."

"Married? Congratuations!" He grinned towards her but Lucy shook her head, laughing lightly.

"No, sir, it's nothing to celebrate about."

"Lucy?"

"I got married to Natsu Dragneel by accident last night by taking too many drinks and not being able to think correctly." She confessed making the head editor become silent and stare at his worker who squirmed uncomfortably. "And I believe this is a great scoop to produce but I cannot publish this because it is abuot my life as well so I came here to ask if you would allow somebody else to publish this scoop."

A silence snuck past the two as her boss tried to absorb everything in, wondering if he heard everything clearly or wondering if his worker was just playing a joke on him.

But then again, ever since working for a publishing company, he heard and seen weird things.

"Okay, let me get this straight," he cleared his throat as he sat up. "you got married to fallen star, Natsu Dragneel, last night and you want me to grab somebody to make this scoop for you?"

"Y—yes, sir." Lucy stuttered, swallowing down the nervousness.

She looked at him in a hopeful way, offering a small smile until he cracked a smile and shook his head.

"Alright," he said making Lucy beam. "I'll bring somebody in but in exchange, you bring Natsu Dragneel here to prove it and once proven, we'll start."

Offering a wide smile, Lucy stood up excitedly. "Thank you so much! I promise I won't disappoint!"

"I hope not," he smiled. "you're dismissed, Heartfillia."

—X—

"Oh, hey, Luce."

"Hi Natsu," the blonde let out a breath as she entered the large flat, dumping her purse on a nearby couch. "I came here to ask when I should start bringing my stuff here and move in." She said as she watched the back of the male that went back and forth in the kitchen, preparing something.

"Oh, your stuff was already brought here." He said, not even giving the blonde a glance as Lucy stood there in pure shock. "I had them bring it over while you were at work."

"Wait, what?"

"Then it's much easier—don't worry, it's just extra clothes and I brought a couple of essentials but that's all." He offered a smile as he licked some sauce off his finger. "I put them all in the guest room so you can use that if you like—you want some?" He offered his plate of food towards her making her ignore it and give him a look.

"Wait, so you're telling me... you went to my house, brought my things, dumped them here, and moved me in yourself without even telling me about it?"

"Yup," he said as he poked his plate full of pasta to stuff into his mouth. "you want some?"

"You can't do that!"

"Offer you food?"

"No! Forget the food, Natsu!" She shouted as she walked over towards him, standing on the opposite side of the counter. "You can't break into my house, pack my own things, and bring them here and tell me after you did it! That's basically breaking and entering and stealing!" The blonde said making Natsu stand there, unfazed. "I can't believe you!"

"Well I technically can do this because you're now, my wife and what yours is mine and what mine is yours." He grinned at her, conintuing to eat his food. "besides, Gildarts said I can."

"Did I say it's okay?"

"No,"

"Then it's not okay!" She slammed her fist on the counter top as Natsu gave it a glance but looking back up at the angry blonde. "I demand my own privacy and all!"

"It's not like I didn't give you any," he said ever so calmly making her even angrier. "I just went to your house and brought your things. If I forgot anything, we can go back now and grab it. You only live a mile away," the actor shrugged as he scarffed down the rest.

He walked over to the sink to dump his dirty plate in, turning on the water to wet it before turning it off and facing the blonde once more.

"So you want to go or not?"

"I can't believe you!" Lucy shouted as she turned around to grab her purse and stomp away. "You're so annoying!"

Watching his wife stomp away in the direction of the bedrooms, the male couldn't help but find all this amusing.

"That's my room," he spoke up when she was about to open the first door making her stop. "your room is right next to mine, all the way down the hall." He said making her huff in annoyance before disappearng down the hallway where he soon heard the slam of the door.

Smirking to himself, the fallen star could only chuckle as he found all of this fun.

He knew this was going to be an interesting month.

—X—

Opening the door that belonged to the blonde, Natsu felt no shame in whatsoever as he just barged in. "Yo, Lucy, you want to go out?" He asked as he noticed the female laying in bed with some kind of black mask on her face. He realized the blonde was embarrassed as he saw her ears turn red.

"Natsu! Get out!"

"Luce, you've got a little something on your face." He pointed at his face as he laughed, dodging the book that flew in his direction. "Hey, you're going dent my wall."

"I'll dent you if you don't get out! I deserve my privacy, Natsu!"

"I've seen you naked before so I don't think privacy is really the problem here," he laughed as a doll was thrown in his direction. "hey, stop throwing things!"

"Get out, Natsu!" She screeched again but he ignored her.

"Are you dong one of those clay masks?"

"What part of get out don't you understand?!"

"Can I have some?"

Lucy swore whatever she said went through one ear and went out the other, the anger boiling inside her as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Natsu, can you please leave?"

"I just want to spend some time with my wife," he frowned, a pout visible on his lips as the blonde let out a sigh. "I'm bored and lonely."

"Why is this my problem?"

"Please?"

Looking at the face of the actor, Lucy let out a sigh of frustration. "Fine," she hissed shifting over on her bed. "get over here." She pointed to the place next to her making Natsu beam and make his way to her, shutting the door behind him.

He plopped himself right next to the woman who just gave him a look, a slight scowl on her dark face.

"Can you give me a face mask?"

"Honestly?" She let out a sigh as he offered a sheepish grin. "You honestly want to do this?"

"Yeah, I used to do this all the time."

"Really?"

"Yeah!" He grabbed the bottle next to the bed as he handed it to the blonde, waiting for her to start. "My stylist thought it would be good for my skin and all. My face was baby soft for days!"

Smiling slightly, Lucy could only shake her head. "Here, lay down." She placed her hand on his shoulder, pushing him down as he slowly sank down on the mattress. He placed his hands on his stomach as he stared up at the blonde who squirted some clay into her palm. She rubbed the clay within her palms and scooted closer towards him, bouncing the mattress up and down slightly. "Don't move," she warned as she reached forward and placed the cold clay against his hot face making him flinch slightly.

"That's cold," he commented making her hum in agreement as she started to spread the clay around his tan face. "do I look dark and scary like you, now?"

"Shut up," she rolled her eyes at him but her small smile showed that she wasn't mad at all. "you look weird."

"Says the weirdo."

"I am not weird!"

"Sure," he scoffed as the blonde threw him another dirty look, leaning over to grab the tissue to wipe her hands with. "how long do I have to keep this on?"

"For like twenty minutes," she eyed the clock on her wall before shifting to lay down next to him. "make sure you don't keep it on too long."

"Alright," he let out a sigh as the two silently laid on the bed for a bit, staring at the ceiling. "so, how was your day?"

"Stressful," the blonde admitted, a sigh flying out of her lips.

Glancing at the woman beside him, he pursed his lips. "Why?"

"Well I woke up realizing we got married and it's just been downhill since then," the reporter let out a small breath making Natsu stare at her from the corner of his eye. "I guess it's just been very odd for the past twenty-four hours."

"What? Don't like being married to me?"

"It's not just that," she gave him a side glance as she noticed he was also looking making her look away quickly. "it's just that I didn't picture my first marriage like this." She let out another sigh as she fiddled with her fingers. "I didn't think I would get married and not even remember it. Nor did I imagine my first marriage to be with a guy I barely know, especially fallen star Natsu Dragneel." She paused to let out a small sigh, her arm raising high to present the back of her hand towards the two. "Maybe it's some kind of weird fate thing."

"Yeah, it is." He agreed, catching her attention. "You don't meet people by accident, Luce. There's always a reason why things happen... there's a reason why this happened." He grabbed her hand and interlaced his fingers with hers. "Its fate."

Moving her head to the side, Lucy locked eyes with the male as they stared at one another.

"You think so?"

"Yeah."

Continuing to stare up at the male, this time, she offered a smile towards the actor. "Yeah."

Searching in her eyes for something, Natsu couldn't peel his eyes away from the woman. His eyes darted from every facial feature she had, the look of curiosity and fond decorating his face. The warmth of his hand radiated from his to hers and soon, he felt like he was leaning closer.

But as soon as his nose bumped hers, the couple nearly jumped out of their skins as a phone started to ring, the two separating from one another.

"Oh, my mask is done." The blonde murmured as she untangled herself from Natsu, turning off the alarm she set up. "Better go wash my face. You still have fifteen minutes to go so you just stay and relax, okay?"

"Alright," he awkwardly nodded as Lucy stood and started to walk to her bathroom. "don't drown."

"Wasn't planning on it."

Listening to how the door closed shut and the click of the lock was heard, Natsu let out the breath he didn't even know he was holding.

"What... the fuck."

—X—

"Hey blondie, what are you doing?"

"I have a name," Lucy scowled as she dropped something inside a little bowl before mixing the mixture inside. She noticed the glow that was coming from his fresh-washed face and quirked her brows in amazement.

"Alright, Lucy," he paused to see her approval. "what are you doing?"

"I'm hungry,"

"Yeah, it's seven and you probably haven't eaten since we met Gildarts today."

"Yeah, so I'm hungry," she put down the bowl to lick the mixture off her finger. "I'm making pancakes so you want some?"

"Why are you having pancakes for dinner?" Natsu snorted, leaning against the opposite side of the counter as he watched Lucy with a small smile on his lips. "Why don't we just go out for dinner?"

"Because my dear," she pulled open a drawer to pull out a spatula. "why go spend money on food when we have food inside?"

"I barely have anything—that's probably why you're making pancakes and not actual dinner."

Lucy opened her mouth to argue that point but she closed it right after, biting on her bottom lip. "Well—"

"Exactly," he smirked at her as he stood up and walked around over to her, grabbing the spatula out of her hand. "now c'mon, let's go out and eat."

"Natsu, I don't want to go out." The blonde whined as she watched the male turn the stove off and shift the hot pan to another place. "I'm tired."

"Fine, we can order take out—what are you in the mood for?"

Humming to herself, Lucy tapped on her chin in the process of thinking. "Hmm, I'm not sure... what are you in the mood for?"

"Whatever you are in for," he smiled down at her, walking toward the fridge. "if you can't decide, I actually have menus if you want." He pulled open the drawer right next to the fridge to show her the stack of menus he had making her eyes widen at them. "Whenever I was stuck in here, I would order take out." He shrugged, walking back to the woman to hand her his stack. "My favorites are the ones on top. Like I think the first three?"

"How are you not fat?" Lucy asked as she flipped through the menus, her eyes wide. "These are like, so much!"

"I workout a lot," he shrugged, leaning against the counter. "so, I can take in double the calories a day."

Giving the actor a look, Lucy didn't know what to say as she bit down on her lip and looked through the menus where there would be Chinese or Italian or American—almost everything she could think of. And that bad part was that she wanted almost everything that she saw.

"I don't know, Natsu... what do you recommend?"

Uncrossing his arms, the male walked on over towards his wife who just stared, tilting her head up to watch him as he plucked the packet of menus out of her hands. "Alright, what's your definition of a perfect date?"

"Date?"

"Date."

Humming out in response, Lucy shrugged. "Depends on my mood, I guess."

"And what's your mood?"

"A indoor mood." She said, a small smile decorating her lips making him smile and nod. "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to prepare a date."

"Date?"

"Go in the living room and pick out a movie and Im going to order some food. Under the television theres going to be a bucket of DVDs, you can pick two of whatever you like." The rosy-haired one walked over to the counter to grab his phone. "Sounds good?"

Staring at the male for a moment, Lucy couldn't help but feel at daze.

"Yeah?"

"Oh, uh, yeah." The blonde shook her head, as she took a step backwards. "I'll be in the living room."

"I'll meet you there," he flashed an award-winning grin before turning his back to her. It left Lucy breathless as she turned around and quickly walked away before anything else happened, leaving her heart pumping and her legs feeling like jello.

Maybe Natsu was right... maybe this was just fate playing some kind of trick with her. Or maybe it wasn't.

It was all a mistake.

A twisted, heart-throbbing mistake.
