Chapter 3

The day was tiring and the night was long as Loke woke her up at least 10 times to ask for; food,water and pets as he supposedly had nightmares. But as morning arrived Lucy felt glad that she had no were to go as Natsu and the rest of her team were on an escort mission to protect some rich snob that Lucy didn't want to know about, so she stayed home to look after the what seemed still drugged Loke as he laid snoring and curled up next to her sleeping like a child.

She sighed getting up as she rubbed her eyes,they felt heavy and burned the longer she tried to keep them open, as she was about to step away from her bed a hand grabbed her leg in a vice grip, she looked down to see Loke looking up at her with the most cutest face ever seen, as his eyes reflected the morning sunlight they sparkled up at her pleadingly.

"No Loke I need to get up and buy some food, my fridge looks like I haven't eaten in months" Lucy groaned as she pulled away and patted him on the head with sympathy.

"Ok Lucy, then I'll come with you" Loke smiled as he jumped up nearly knocking her over, "sworry" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Lucy who was straightening herself up from the stumble.

"Yeah, yeah" Go get changed you stink, your definitely having a shower after dinner, even if I have to drag you there" she said waving her hand in front of her nose like she was waving away the stanch of the fish smelling Loke who was looking at innocently.

"But Lucy.." he stopped looking down in shame "I hate water,especially showers and baths" he whispered looking up through his eye lashes.

"Fine, you'll hopefully be back to normal by that time anyway, and if not I'll stick you in the bath" she huffed as she walked to the bathroom.

Loke followed her but nearly lost his nose as she slammed the wooden door in his face. "Don't even think about it" she shouted from the room as she put on the shower and turned it on hot.

"I'll be out in 15 minuets promise you'll stay and don't cause any trouble" she said stopping to listen to his answe"ok Lewcy" he purred back as he sat on the floor with a plop waiting patiently for his master.

10 minuets later...

"You done Lewcy?" Loke asked as he rocked from side to side waiting, "One sec" she answered back, a minuet later she exited the bathroom fully clothes, try but her hair was still a little damp.

"YEAH, let's go shopping!" Loke roared like a hyperactive child.

"Calm down, and try not to scare anyone especially little children" she huffed massaging the bridge of her nose in worry. Loke looked at her in worry before coming up to her and rubbing his hair on her arm while purring.

"Thanks kitty" she giggled petting his head before grabbing her bad and heading out the door. "Wait for me!" he screeched after her banging the door afterwards only to be rewarded with a scowl from Lucy to try to not break the door next time.

On the way to the market she had a close eye on Loke as he walked beside her glancing at fish stalls and toys once in a while, she even had to pull him away from a cat toy shop as he tried taking them all. "Sorry" she said with embarrassment as she dragged him away from a women that was wearing a feather on her head that Loke tried to play with.

"Stop running away Loke,I might lose you and I don't want you or me to end up in more trouble" she sighed looking to her left, but he was gone "Loke?!" ..."LOKE!" she screamed looking around for him frantically, she searched and searched for at least an hour before finally hearing him giggle behind a hedge.

"Loke?" she asked as she saw him sliding down a metal slide laughing as little children chased after him probably playing tag. "Oh, Loke you're so much trouble" she sighed as she laughed at how stupid he looked, a grown up man being chased around by a horde of children which looked to increase as 3 more children joined in the chase.

"Lucy!" he suddenly shouted running towards her with worry in his eyes, she looked at him questioningly before sidestepping as he was about to tackle-hug her to the ground but fell flat on his face. "This is your own mess to get yourself out of it" she said closing her eyes looking like a wise old man.

"But Lewcy there gonna kill me!" he screeched back as not about 16 children were giggling and chasing after him, he ran and ran then finally spotted an opportunity as he leaped on to a big tree beside a park bench.

He sat there perched like a frightened cat, almost hissing at the still laughing children who couldn't reach him. He glanced at Lucy who sighed and slowly made her way over to him, "Fine, but you owe me" she said giving him a cold glare before standing on the bench and turned towards the children.

"Ok everyone listen up, my friend here has to go home now, so we need a new victim to chase who wants to be it?" She announced looking around to see some hands shooting up and heard some groans others. "ok you run" she pointed at an older child who ran off. "Ok ready everyone?!" she asked.

"YES!" they answered back.

"Ok, three, two, one...GO!" she shouted with one hand raised, they ran of chasing the chosen kid with laughter.

"Thank you,thank you, thank you Lewcy you saved me!" Loke shouted as he tachled her from his spot on the tree to only accedently shove her and himself into a big pudle of mud.

"Oww look what you've done now!" she groaned getting up,as she tred to wype away the mud from her face only making it worse. She looked at Loke and his pleeding, sorry face, sh giggled seing the state of him, he was coverd with mud and dirt even some leaves stuck out from his lion like hair.

"What is wrong Lewcy?" Loke asked tipping his head to the side like a cute innocent kitten. "Nothing lets go home, you worried me to death" she said shaking her head. "Sworry Lewcy" he said lifting her had to rub his cheek to it. "Aww its alright" she smiled blushing a little".

Actually we have one more stop" she smiled dragging him after her.

"Were are we going?" he asked trotting after her, we are going to buy you some swim wear, im not helping you wash while your naked" she stated turning around. "Here hold this and wait here". She said handing him 2 grocery bags and heading into the shop.

He waited glancing after her as she paid and walked out. "Done I'll show you them once we get home" she said walking off, he stood there day dreaming about fish before hurrying after her with the 2 bags on either side of his arms.

As they arrived home Loke sat down watching Lucy put away the freshly brought food, he rocked from side to side as his hands supported his head in a lying position.

"So what do you think?" she asked as she pulled out a pair of sandy coloured swimming trunks showing him them with a smile, they were sandy brown with a white Hawaiian flower design.

"I got them because I thought they matches your hair...and eyes" she said looking at the floor blushing.

"I love them!" he said as he rubbed his head on to her hands purring. "Good, ok stay here" she commanded, he nodded sitting down like a cat with anticipation, and if he had a tail it would be wagging right now.

His face fell a little as Lucy appeared from the bath room with 2 sets of bath gel stuff he didn't know he never had it in his house...he bathed in a specially made river. "Which one do you want to smell like?" she asked "Honey sweet, or Fruit salad?"

He tought before answering "Honey" with a smile, she nodded and walked off to prepare the bath.

"Ok get changed I'll wait in the bathroom for you" she said throwing him the trunks.

Lucy waited, putting of the hot tap she added some cold before turning around to see Loke in his new sandy trunks standing at the door awkwardly, she blushed staring at his exposed toned chest. "I'm not sure about this Lucy" he said looking back and forth in worry.

"It's gonna be fine look, test the water" she said smiling at him as he walked up.

He stared at the bath water in horror leaning down sniffing the bubbles, she choked breathing some in by accident, Lucy giggled beside him as he slowly poked the water but jumped back as soon as his finger came into contact with it.
He cradled his hand like its been burned, and stared at the water in shock. "It's too hot" he stated looking at the smiling Lucy.

"It's just because your colder than the water you'll get used to it" she said pulling him down towards her as she splashed a little water onto his hand. He flinched but let her grabbing onto her into her shoulder with his free hand.

"Ok now step in slowly" she said standing and pulling him up with her.

"Only if you come with me" he said facing her with fear, she sighed discarding her clothes to reveal a white bikini under it, it had a purple flower on the bottom half corner.

"When did you?" he asked astonished, "I knew you wouldn't go in yourself she huffed stepping in slowly, she bent over her face reaching his hips as she splashed some water on to her arms and legs.

Loke blushed watching her in front of him before collecting all his courage and stepping in slowly beside her.

"Now slowly sit down" she said slowly holding his shoulders as she pushed him down with her, he griminced and sprung back up as soon as his knees touched the water.

"NO,no" he said ready to jump out but Lucy quickly held his shoulders again shoving him down and then when he sat down in shock she hugged him, he froze in fear but slowly relaxed when he used the spunge to clean his back while hugging him.

"Thank you Luwcy" he smiled hugging her back, she nodded letting go and handing him the spunge and pointing at her back. They cleaned each other before long, Loke began to splash Lucy attacking her as she fought back.

"HEY!" she screeched as he splashed her with both hands and she fell out onto the floor. "Watch it" she said rubbing her back.

He smiled jumping on top of her and rolled over to his side as they laughed. "That was fun" she said facing him as they lay on the now soaked floor together.

She gasped when loke turned whispering in her ear, "You know, I was back to normal since we started splashing each other" He grinned giving her a quick peck on the cheek before hurrying out to hide in her closet, or just any closet would be fine.

3...2...1.."LOKEEEE!" she shouted chasing after him and throwing random items at him as her face boiled with anger. "Sorry, I couldn't resist you" he said back as he dodged another shoe thrown at his head.

"I'm gonna kill you!" she shouted storming after him.
