"You done checking me out, Luce?"

"...", nothing is coming out of my mouth no matter how hard a try, then I realize I am blushing probably the hardest I ever have before.

"Well, am I going to get an answer… cause I want one." How did that come out of Natsu's mouth?

"Well, you see, my eyes were dry, so I- I couldn't move them," yeah, good one Lucy. I surprise myself everyday.

"You really suck at lying Luce."

"Whu- How could you tell?"

"I can see it in your eyes. Us dragon slayers can see emotions and can tell a truth from a lie with certain people."

"Why certain people?"

"Well, only with people I am close to. For example, you and Happy."

Wait, me, somebody he is close to, calm down Lucy or you'll start to blush.

"Ha ha, we should get going on the job we cannot be late again."

"Mhm, sure thing Luce."

Thank goodness I avoided that conversation, I bet Natsu doesn't even like me. Ugh, it's so annoying.

(Natsu's P.O.V.)

Ha, I caught her checking me out. It probably wasn't anything important though. She totally avoided that conversation, that's a pretty good sign. Well, maybe I will try getting a little bit closer to her, ha no, she'd Lucy-kick me to Edo.

(Lucy's P.O.V.)

(45 minutes of complete silence later)

"Ok, um I am going to go over what we need to do. First, we get to 's house and make sure what we are NOT allowed to break. Next, we go and get rid of his little mountain problem. Lastly, we peacefully leave with the pay and no unneeded destruction." I know that isn't going to happen but it is wishful thinking.

"What was that Luce?"

"Natsu?!"

"I'm kidding, calm down. I heard everything you said. So don't worry, I've got you, I won't let you down."

Awwwww. Sweet….he is probably just hungry. Jeez he has an every hour eating schedule.

"Oh yay. Natsu we're here!"

Mr.N looks, wow, a lot younger than what I thought. He can't possibly be older than maybe 25. Damn.

"Cut it out Luce. Let's just get the job done." Natsu looks very, protective right now. It's probably not over me, just Happy sleeping in my backpack.

Mr.N walked a little closer to me and I could literally feel the heat, from Natsu that is.

"Hello. Could you possibly be Ms. Lucy Heartfilia?" Wow, so polite.

"Why yes I am."

"It is my pleasure to meet you both. I believe you both know what to do. You have full range of my mountain property, please feel free to notify me if you need anything."

"Thank you very much, and I will let you know when we have finished our job."

I am about to walk off and he grabs my hand, next thing you know he kisses it. Nobody has ever done that before! He walks off and I turn to Natsu and he looks like somebody just told him he isn't eating lunch.

(30 mins. Later and halfway up a mountain)

"Come on Natsu won't you at least talk to me. What did I do?"

"Why don't you go talk to Mr. Perfect some more and let him kiss your hand."

"Is that what you're mad about? Natsu it was nothing."

"Okay, I believe you. Look we're here."

"Got it. Let's got get 'em!"

I took about 30 steps and out comes a huge mountain monkey things. Wait, i've seen thee before...OH NO these things are total pervs. Next thing I know I'm being carried off one way and Natsu the other. Unlike Natsu I don't look like I could win this battle.

"*Grrrr* Woman." This thing is looking places it shouldn't unless it wants a Lucy-kick to the face. Ha turns around and I use ths opportunity to summon Taurus.

"Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!"

"What can I help you with Miss Luuuuuuuucy?" This stupid bull can't do anything staring at me like that, ugh.

"Defeat that mankey Taurus!" I pointed straight at the thing and looked back at Taurus to see him staring at my ripped clothing, credited to that creep monkey. "Now!"

"Yes Miss Luuuuucy. Nobody hurts Lucy's body, nobody!" O geez… and I wonder how Natsu is doing, probably fine. I mean he is Natsu, he is really good at fighting and breaking things. I look up, I must have been day dreaming for a while because all I see is Taurus heading back to the spirit world and ten more monkeys emerge.

"I'm sorry Miss Luuucy." There he goes, twinkling the monkeys are now eyeing me and I reach for my keys t see they fell. Shoot, I can't reach them.

"It's okay Lucy. I've got you."
