Hi everyone! So glad to see you again :3

Firstly, I am so so so sorry for the late update. I've been so worked up on my college that I forgot I have a fanfiction to do! But here, not so long but not that short either.

Hence, ENJOY~

Disclaimer: Yes, I don't own Fairy Tail. *cries silently at my room* How about we move on?

"Rules?"

"Yup. We cant live together peacefully until we know the rules of this house." He crosses his muscular arms.

"Put that aside for a moment, Vastia. Did you just came back from your training?" While making a bored face, Emi stares at Lyon.

Lyon looks back at her with a blank expression. "Training? No I'm not. I just walked down from my bedroom."

"Then….." she stands and points at his exposed body. "WEAR A GODDAMN SHIRT!"

5 minutes later…..

"First rule : Read the terms and conditions on the lease."

Emi nods. "Done."

"Second rule : No emptying the fridge. It must be resupplied if so."

Again, she nods. " 'Kay."

"Third rule : We'll have our own personal space. My regular spot at the sofa is the most left one, and if at the kitchen, I own the upper cabinet."

After finished jotting down the points, she looks back at Lyon. "Anything else, Mr. Vastia?"

"One more thing, I'll use the bathroom early in the morning."

Emi faces Lyon with a confused face. "Can you tell me explicitly when is that 'early morning'? Because just in case I'm having diarrhea and you're in the middle of showering, it's like indirectly telling me to use the backyard as the second toilet."

While sighing, Lyon facepalms. "Please…..Don't do that."

"Then?"

"Just shout from the outside that you need to use the toilet, I could open the door for you."

"You won't wait until I'm finished?"

"Depends on the situation. Worst case scenario, I have to take my shower while you get your job done at the toilet bowl."

"Hello~," she waves her hand in front of Lyon. "Personal space, remember?"

"Oh, so wanna claim the toilet area?"

"Not that! What I mean is it sounds inappropriate for a woman and a man to be in one bathroom at the same time."

"I'll cover myself up if you're uneasy of me stripping in front of you," replies Lyon bluntly.

SMACK!

"Idiotic white popsicle!"

Earlier that day...

"Wow….A new housemate…"

Chelia blinks. "A new housemate? A boy or a girl?"

"Girl."

She widens her eyes. "GIRL?!"

He slowly nods while closing his eyes, as if the truth is too painful to bear.

"Nooooo! Someone is in my way to get Lyon-san!" says Chelia dramatically. (sound of thunder)

Sherry and Yuka lift their brows with astonishment, seeing one of the greatest mage in Lamia Scale being so burdened by the fact of having a housemate. "Isn't it a good thing, Lyon-sama? You wouldn't be alone in that apartment from now on."

"Yup," Yuka agrees. "It's always nice to have someone to take good care of you. Living alone isn't all that good."

"I don't care…" Lyon messes his spiky hair. "All things need to be shared from now on. And I don't like it. You know, even back then, I was hesitating when Ur decided to take care of Gray. I want something of my own. Damn the landlord!"

Sherry chuckles witnessing the selfish attitude of Lyon. "Lyon-sama, seriously, it's not that bad to have another person in your house. You can set your boundaries if you're not comfortable with things that's going on. Have a meeting with her and discuss about these things. I did the same with my husband too."

Lyon seems to be thinking for a while. "That sounds like a good idea. I'll reconsider that. For now, where's Toby?" He looks around the guild to find his canine-faced friend but he is nowhere to be found.

Yuka replies, "I think he's off to buy a new pair of socks."

"Contact him immediately. I want to choose a mission for us. You guys go and get ready."

"Right!"

"Wait~ Lyon-san~" cries Chelia, tugging Lyon's sleeve. "You're not gonna fall for her, aren't you?"

Lyon doesn't know what he is thinking that time when he said, "Time will tell."

"Tomorrow I'll be going for a mission."

Emi faces Lyon with awe. "Really?! What mission?!", she enthusiastically exclaims, getting all excited on the sofa.

Lyon stares at Emi, unexpecting the excitement coming from her. "It's just defeating some thugs at the outskirts of this city. I'll be back before dinner."

-Damn! You REALLY have to say 'before dinner' right?! This is like a freaking old married couple!- Lyon converses with himself.

"Cool! Okay, I'll cook dinner for you, what do you say?", replies Emi nonchalantly. Lyon gives her a strange look. "What?"

Lyon turns away from looking at Emi, looking very troubled while sweating like hell. "This is seriously like a couple living together…", he whispers.

"Hey," Emi worriedly calls for him, "Are you sure you're okay? You don't seem well….."

"I dunno….A bunch of things happened to me in these two days, whaddaya expect?" He slumps himself at his spot on the sofa whilst sighing heavily.

"Well….You got to be healthy because you're going on a mission tomorrow. Don't assume the mission to be easy. Anything can happen. And you've got to be prepared for that." Emi touches his forehead, startling Lyon.

"What are you doing, Flameheart?"

"Checking whether you have a fever or not." She removes her hand from his forehead and retorts, "Nope. Everything's fine!" Grinning, she punches Lyon's shoulder lightly and states, "Good luck, Lyon Vastia!"

Lyon blushes after Emi pronounces his full name. It sounded so beautiful when she calls his name like that. "Thanks…..", and he softly pinches Emi's cheek. "You should smile a lot. It's cuter."

He moves his body to the bathroom to clean himself, leaving Emi on the sofa who is blushing hard. "Hey….Lyon…."

"What is it?" he turns back at the front of the bathroom, a towel hanging at his shoulder.

Emi shows a complete set of clothing being thrown on the floor near the sofa. "Whose outfit are those?"

He looks at his naked body and sheepishly smiles, "Ha…..Ha….Sorry, you have to adapt with my stripping habits quickly."

She facepalms. "Idiotic stripping-addict white popsicle."

Looks like those two are opening up between each other. I hope this will turn out well in the end. Still searching for idea on how though. But hey, if you have any FANTASTIC idea, feel free to PM me! I'd appreciate it!

So long! Until next chapter!
