Previously:
~Natsu's POV~
Lucy glared at me harshly as she cleaned her hand off from where I had licked her. I pretended like she had a sour taste to her as I acted like I felt sick by holding my hand over my mouth. "Great, not only does she smell good, but she tastes good too," I thought to myself, angry with myself for liking her taste and smell.
"Well, what were you trying to say earlier?" she asked, still angry from how I reacted to her covering my mouth.
"Oh, that! I was asking what was wrong!" I snickered, and added, "You're acting like the whole guild is on Erza and snow-cone's side."
"They are!" she answered harshly, glancing once or twice over her shoulder.
"That's not fair," I mumbled as I let my eyes wander around the guild.
"Huh?" Lucy asked, having not heard his remark.
"Eh! Nothing! Luce, let's go, I'll show you the best hiding spot in the world!" I practically yelled, dragging her quickly by the wrist.
~Normal POV~
Natsu quickly began to drag Lucy out of the guild and began to act like a ninja on a top-secret mission. He had wrapped his scarf around his head and glanced left and right a million times before he would actually begin to drag her again.
Lucy sighed angrily, saying, "Natsu, I think we're lost."
He looked back only slightly, but didn't respond as he began to drag her even quicker. Lucy felt her heart begin to pound faster as she struggled to get free from his grip, but only to find he held on tighter.
After what felt like hours of walking, or being dragged in her case, they got to a house that seemed a bit isolated from everywhere else. A sign sat in front of the house, but it was covered up by a pile of leaves.
"Where are we?" Lucy asked, confusion filling her as he dragged her into the cramped, and very messy, house.
"I'll answer you when you tell me why you made that bet with ice-cube and Erza," he responded quickly, feeling heat rising slightly to his face.
"Uggh!" she responded, not giving more of answer than that. "If I were to tell you why, it'd kill the point of the bet!" she thought as she looked at her friend.
After a few seconds of Lucy begging Natsu to tell her where they were, she decided to just look around for herself. She quickly spotted all the things hanging on the wall, they were job requests and occasionally other momentum's of past missions.
She spotted the 'Salamander' signature that he'd tried to give her as payment for helping him. Next, Lucy spotted the maid outfit she wore on their first official mission together. With the request above it, and a note that said, "First mission I went on with Lucy!"
"Natsu... this is your house... isn't it?" she yelled, trying hard to make sure she didn't give away their position.
"Aww! You guessed! Darn it! Hmph.. well, they won't find ya here! I promise!" he promised as a wide grin appeared on his face.
~Lucy's POV~
I couldn't help but to let my mouth drop to the floor as he promised Erza and Gray wouldn't find me here.
"Why exactly would they not look here!" I screeched, letting my fists tighten as anger filled me.
Who did he think he was? Dragging me to his house like this, surely he didn't think Erza wouldn't come here, or someone else for that matter.
"Well... I know no one will look because no one knows exactly where I live!" he laughed and gave a goofy grin.
I shook my head, trying to clear it as I looked around at my surroundings again. If I wasn't careful, I might get swallowed by the piles of junk. "Duely noted," I thought as I made my way to his couch.
"No one? Not even Gray or Lissana?" I asked, quite shocked not even his closest of friends knew.
"Nope!" he chuckled and sat down on the other-side of the couch.
"Happy!" I thought and let a gasp escape from my mouth.
"Luce? What's wrong?" he questioned, leaning slightly closer to me. His eyes held a glimmer of worry in them.
"Uhm... I just thought about Happy.. I mean, what if he was coming home and he decided to show Carla? If Carla were to follow him, that means Wendy would follow her! Leading to them to find me! She'd surely run back to the guild and tell everyone I was at Natsu and Happy's house! Oh no! Terror would surely fall on my life," I answered, and then started to go into my own world as I imagined the guilds reaction to me being here.
"So, you're worried that he might bring Wendy and Carla here?" he responded, scratching his head lightly in confusion.
I nodded my head violently, and let my thoughts wander back to how the guild would react, surely Mira would love it. Her matchmaking dream would come true, and while I didn't mind the idea too terrible much, Natsu was sure to hate it. "Lucy! Get a hold of yourself!" I thought violently and slapped the side of my face.
Natsu broke my thoughts by saying, "I get it! Okay, well, if I smell Wendy, Carla, and Happy coming, I'll hide you!" He snickered lightly at the idea before adding, "Of course, I'd have to hide your scent, since Wendy could smell it too."
I tried to imagine where he would hide me, and all that came to mind was him shoving me in the countless piles of junk. That would surely cover my scent too, as huge as the piles were.
~Normal POV at Happy~
"Wendy! Carla! Hurry up, I'm sure she'll be here!" Happy snickered as he led his fellow exceed and the dragon slayer to his and Natsu's house.
"He-cat! We have no interest in receiving your help!" Carla scolded as she relaxed in Wendy's arms.
"Carla, don't be so mean, Happy is just trying to help us out, and I'm sure the rest of the guild members will be overjoyed when they find out we have found her," Wendy explained, trying to calm down her friend.
"Hmph," she muttered as she looked away from Happy and Wendy.
"Hehe," Wendy laughed nervously as she continued to run after Happy.
He glided quickly over their heads as he led the way. He could see the house in the distance, and saw lights on, which was rare for Natsu to do. "Natsu had to have helped her out! She has to be here!" he giggled as he thought about how to bust his friends.
"The house is in sight now!" Wendy happily said, she felt like they had been running for hours.
~Normal POV at Natsu and Lucy~
Natsu could smell Happy getting closer, his smell was still miles off, but he could smell it. He let himself focus on the smells in the air and quickly noticed the familiar scent of Wendy and Carla.
"Oh no," he whispered to himself, causing Lucy to glance over at him from the small spot she had cleaned on the floor.
"What?" she questioned, standing up and walking back to the couch using her path she'd created a few minutes before.
"Haha, nothing!" Natsu responded, rubbing his head nervously. "Man, Lucy sure is weird! She predicted Happy bringing Carla and Wendy here!" he thought and began to think of ways to cover her scent up.
Lucy continued to eye him while she sat down across from him once more. She sighed and rested her cheek on her palm. Her glances had been continuously looking at the wall of memories, as she called it, and looking over all the missions they'd done together.
"Say, Natsu... you said something about hiding my scent, right? How would you do that?" Lucy asked, glancing at the dragon slayer from the corner of her eye.
"Oh yeah, about that, haha, do you wanna know?" Natsu asked, pulling himself slightly closer to Lucy, causing her to back up in response to the sudden movement.
Lucy closed her eyes, not wanting to see, thinking it would shield her from whatever Natsu had planned. She felt a warm hand grab her wrist, and she squeaked in response, trying to wriggle her wrist free of his tight grasp.
Natsu pulled her up from her spot and dragged her out of the living room, much to the terror of Lucy, he threw her onto his bed. She heard a click and she shut her eyes tighter than they were before, and closed her ears to the outside world.
Natsu just stood at the door with a questioning look plastered on his face, what was Lucy doing? "Definitely weird," he thought as he saw her shut her eyes even more when he had let the door shut on it's own.
Well, that's all I'll write for now :D I hope you enjoyed reading it! Thank you for reading again =3
