AN: A very, very late update once again, but hey, I did it! Update's will be coming out at a snail's pace, and this one was something that I thought up of and quickly wrote out. It's a small, lighthearted drabble, since my others were pretty dark. Since I think this one is a bit subpar than my others, I will upload a longer and more thought-out chapter sometime next week at the minimum. Can't count on it because I'm pretty busy.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this so-called update. Requests are welcome.

Ciao. c:

Lucy roused from her sleep, slowly opening her eyes as she woke to the sound of birds chirping outside the window and quiet breathing next to her. Sighing heavily in her nose, she stayed where she was, intertwining her fingers with the hand dangling limply from her waist. Slowly and tiredly, she tried to shift her position so that she was resting on her left side, to face her lover, but found out that even moving a centimeter brought a dull pain through her body. Wincing, she stopped trying and found herself in an awkward half-back, half-side position. Frowning she stared at the ceiling.

Damn Natsu and Gray, she cursed vehemently. If it weren't for their damn recklessness, we would have come back without a scratch! She sighed and eventually it gave way to a yawn.

"Guess it's time to get up now." She stretched her arms overhead, yawning once more. There was a rustling beside her, and Lucy glanced to her left, smiling when she saw a waterfall of red hair. The blonde gave a quick kiss on Erza's head before climbing out of bed, trying to make as little noise as she could.

She padded out of her room and towards the kitchen, Erza's various pieces of armor strewn everywhere in every nook and cranny. Lucy sighed heavily; looks like there would be more cleaning than relaxing today.

Reaching the kitchen, she immediately opened the refrigerator door. Her brown eyes quickly scanned the items inside, the cool air a welcome change from the warmness in her house. Lucy took out a box of eggs with both hands, and closed the door with her foot. Placing down the box next to the stove, she opened a cabinet door to retrieve a frying pan. With a clatter, the blonde put the pan on the stove and turned the stove on.

Lucy was no chef, but the least she could do was make eggs.

Cracking open three eggs, she poured the contents on the pan. A sizzling noise filled the air, and Lucy tossed the empty shells into the trash.

Now all she needed to do was wait.

Leaning against the counter, Lucy noticed a dark mark on her neck in the reflection of the other cutlery she had taken out in her tired search for the pan. Gingerly, she touched it, preparing to wince in pain—nothing happened.

The blonde laughed at herself and then inspected the hickey carefully, wondering if it was in a visible area; no one knew about their relationship yet, and Lucy did not want anyone to pry into her love life (i.e. Natsu). She sighed with a smile on her face. Erza always did have a tendency to go over-the-top in everything she did, and that included events under the sheets as well.

But I guess that means I'm a sort of masochist. Lucy shook her head softly and took out a plate from another cabinet. After turning off the stove, she casually scooped the eggs (that managed to merge into one big, deformed circle with three yolks inside of it) with a spatula before grabbing a fork and padding back to her room.

Opening the door, she was met with a cute sight, with the infamous Titania curled up on her side, the filtered lights from the blinds streaking her face, and the blankets up to her chin. The only thing that stopped Lucy from calling it charming was the small circle of drool pooling near Erza's cheek.

Even the great Queen of Fairies has a little drooling problem like others, too. Lucy laughed and walked over to the redheaded knight, shaking her shoulder.

"Erza, it's time to wake up."

No reaction.

Lucy frowned and shook harder this time, speaking in a louder tone. "Erza, wake up." The only response she got was a displeased grunt, and Erza shifted her position so that she was now on her back. The blonde rolled her eyes and placed the platter of food on the bedside table, pondering on how to wake her lover up. Erza was a surprisingly deep sleeper, so Lucy knew that almost nothing would wake her up. Unless it was a slap, a sexual advance, or a—

A light bulb went off in Lucy's brain, and quickly, she took the knight's face in her hands. She swiftly placed a kiss on Erza's lips, one filled with passion and energy. Once she broke away, Lucy noticed a pair of dark-brown eyes staring up at her blankly.

"Lucy."

"Y-yes…?"

The redheaded mage sat up and reached over for her small plate of breakfast, cutting of a sliver of egg with the side of her fork.

"That chook you long enough," Erza's voice was muffled with the food in her mouth, "I kinda exshpected that you woulda'f woken me earlier."

Now it was Lucy's turn to stare blankly at her.

…Was she just waiting for me to give her a morning kiss?
