Hello everyone. First off all I would like to apologize for missing so long and the truth is that I almost gave up writing stories because of school and most of all family and relationship problems..

My boyfriend broke up with me *we had like 2 years together :(* because he loved someone else I guess and I was just a backup plan.. That's what I thought at least and he took advantage of my stupid self that was so madly in love with him and used me in these 2 years creating such a good ilussion that I believed it.. and it almost killed me as I attempted suicide but thankfully I failed and I'm glad that I'm still alive. My heart is still somewhat broken but I learnt to deal with it and to heal myself and for that I thank my family and best friend and most to myself. \^.^/

It takes nothing to fake a smile,
But it takes all of your being to truthfully smile. - By me :3

I love all of you who didn't give up on me or my stories.
I'm finally back!~

~Strunfi-Chan~


Lucy's POV

As me and Natsu were walking holding hands I blushed slightly at how his hand was so warm that it made my heart warm as well. I glanced at Natsu who was grinning stupidily and chatting with Happy who flew by his side.

"So, when will we be there? I really can't wait to see my new home!~''

I said smilling brightly at them just when they turned their heads in my direction and before Natsu could respond, Happy answered with a smug smile in Natsu's direction who scowled at him "We are close, it must be just around the cor-, OH! Here we are!'' Happy flew to a window and slipped in.

My eyes widdened and my mouth hung open.

"You just go in like that like we are robbing this place!?" I shrieked and then turned my head to Natsu. "Na-," He was not there. When the hell did he leave? I looked back where Happy flew in and saw the freaking idiot climb on the edge of the window still grinning, glanced at me and waved before slipping in just like that.

"YOU TOO? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS AND AHEM HAVEN'T YOU FORGOTEN SOMETHING!?" I yelled exaspered and annoyed that I got left behind. "Honestly..do you even know doors exist?" I mumbled under my breath and entered the building through the door like a freaking normal person. I already could hear all the ruckus they made with all the loud laughing and stomping. I rolled my eyes but chuckled and hurried toward the staircase climbing two steps at a time suddenly feeling excited.

I was in front of the door that lead into my soon to be home. It made me nervous yet optimistic. You must wonder how I knew which door was? Well, it doesn't take a genius to figure it out since these two are making such a huge fuss with laughing and stomping around probably looking around. I softly grasped the knob and turned. Locked. I blinked. 'Huh? Maybe I should do it a bit harder, it can't be locked, right? This is where I will be living after all' I thought to myself still smiling like a fool and turned the knob harder.

'IT IS FREAKING LOCKED! I'M GONNA MURDER THOSE TWO FOR NOT ONLY LEAVING ME BEHIND BUT ALSO CAUSE THEY FORGOT TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AS WELL!'

My smile was still plastered across my face after my internal screaming and I felt a vein pop in anger just when all I heard was silence on the other side of the door. I lost it.

"You damn stupid freaking blue feline and idiot mate who has ashes in place of a brain! Let me in my own damn home or I will skin both of you and make myself new clothes out of your fur and skin," I hissed as I was pounding my small fists against the door like a mad woman. I heard them scramble across the room toward the door and quickly arguing before unlocking the door.

"Give me the keys, Happy! I don't wanna die yet!" I heard Natsu's scared voice. I smirked just as the door opened and "accidentaly" punched Natsu and grabbed hold of Happy and start to shake him while laughing evily.

*THUD* "L-Luce?!" I ignored Natsu who mumbled on the floor.

"You thought it would be funny to leave me aside as you two stomp all over the place by yourselves! Ugh, egoistic friend and mate!" I growled as I was still shaking a scared exceed yet he kept grinning and it got on my nerves but I let go of him and watched as he flew out of my reach and put his paws against his mouth holding back laughter.

"It looks like Natsu is trying to escape, Lucy," snickered Happy.

I looked toward a crawling Natsu who was laughing nervously and contiued to crawl toward the door. "Oh no, you don't," I grabbed his foot and heard him yelp and dragged him back inside this time both me and Happy but mostly me held back a giggle hearing the embarassing noise and the door closed as well cause he was holding onto it for dear life amusing me further.

"W-Well, we were just about to open the door, of course we didn't forget about you, my love!" laughed a very nervous Natsu and my heart skipped a beat hearing his words but felt another vein popping in anger but letting go of him in the process allowing him to propely get on his feet and I huffed when I saw that stupid yet sexy grin of his creep across his face. "Liarrrr!" He rolled his eyes but still grinned nonetheless.

"Anyway, let's look around," he shouted fist pumping the air and I couldn't help but hiss at him playfully. "You mean I look around since you," I pointed to the blue exceed in the air who snorted making me glare at him and landed on Natsu's head "and Happy already looked around without me."

"Scarrrrry.." whispered Happy to Natsu who sweat-dropped.

"I heard that, stupid cat." I growled and they visibily flinched making me smile sweetly and so I began my exploring of this beautiful place. I heard Natsu's steps behind me meaning he was coming with me as well. I ignored them and I just let myself enjoy this exploring.


~After 20 minutes after looking around~

This place is amazing! I love the kitchen, living room and bathroom and most of all this room! My room with a big big bed and pink fluffy looking duvet and a desk where I can write my novels and lots of books to read. I squealed as I ran toward the bed.


Natsu's POV

Me and Happy who was still on top of my head followed Lucy around quietly as she looked around. I smiled at how her face would lighten up and her sparkling chocolate brown eyes raced across the last room we are in and landing on the comfortable and fluffy looking bed. I heard her squeal and run so fast past me that a little gust of wind blew in my face making me chuckle. She tripped and plopped onto the bed in a awkward position.

Silence.

"PFFT-," Happy put his paws against his mouth stopping the laugh to fully make it out while I kept a blank and red face from trying not to burst out laughing. My lips were in a thin line and my body started shaking from the buried in laughter.

Lucy didn't even care as she got up and let out a nervous cough and took off her shoes then started to jump on the bed like a child squealing once again.

I couldn't keep it in any longer. Happy was the first one to laugh followed by me. She still ignored us and kept on jumping on the bed but opened her arms and I felt Happy fly from my head and toward her open arms, slamming right into her breasts making her laugh even louder. Pfft, I wasn't jealous, he is a cat after all.

"Bleeh," he stuck out his tongue at me and smirked as Lucy slowly sat down at the edge of the bed and hugged him closer grinning widely at him and him wiggling his eyebrows at me mocking me. My eye twitched 'Now, now Natsu it's stupid of you to start feeling jealous of a cat who is also a best friend-' I thought smilling and ignoring him until I heard and watched Lucy.

"Thank you, Happy! I love this place and I will reward you with a delicious fish~" said Lucy and kept kissing him on the forehead and cheeks and hugging him. The little traitor turned in my direction and made a weird face with his paws against his mouth and I could almost hear him in my mind *She liiiiiiikes me, not you!* I felt several veins popping against my neck and head. 'I'm gonna steal his fish!'

She then got up and put on her shoes letting go of Happy in the process who flew around her still making that stupid and weird expression at me. 'You are dead meat, Happy!'

I didn't notice Lucy who jumped into my arms, her legs wrapping around my waist and making me stumble slightly and regain my balance. Damn, I should pay more attention. Her laughter filled the room as Happy flew into the living room doing God knows what.

"What's with that face? Are you jealous of Happy?" her sweet voice broke my not so good thoughts about Happy and I shook my head grinning and stole a kiss making her blush but steal a kiss back shyly. I swear she's just too cute.

"Of course not, Luce why would I be when soon I will do so much more to you,'' I answered smirking as my lips moved against her soft ones and tightening my hold on her not giving her a chance to say anything back. Her eyes got half-lidded and clouded with love and a glimpse of desire making my heart warm. I bit her bottom lip softly smilling slightly hearing her gasp and blush harder and just as my tongue entered her sweet cavern and to battle with her own one that damn Happy flew into the room again making us suddenly part and me death-glaring at him and Lucy became flustered and hid her face into the crook of my neck.

"You guys coming or not? Aaaaand Lucy you promised me a delicious fish~" piped in Happy and looking me straight in the eyes smilling mischeviously. I was ready to strangle him when Lucy suddenly let go of me and got on her feet and shuffled into the living room then into the kitchen.

"Why you little-!" Happy just laughed and flew out of my reach letting me jump to try and catch me mocking me even more and I gritted my teeth in frustration but rolled my eyes and I gave up and go into the living room and plop onto the couch mumbling and turned on the TV and him sit on the edge of the couch iritating me further with his laughing.

"Damn you," I whispered under my breath glaring at him and receiving only weird faces in return.


We spent the day relaxing in Lucy's new home and she was currently in the kitchen cooking and singing. Happy was munching on the fish Lucy cooked for him not too long ago and now she was making some pancakes for me and herself. I tried to steal his fish but that only resulted in Lucy scolding me and pinching my cheek. DAMN HIM turning my Lucy against me! his moans of delight only got on my nerves more as he did it on purpose and bits of the fish that landed on my face from his slopy eating created several veins popping on my arms and neck but I decided to just ignore him and think about the moment he interupted earlier.

I slowly drifted off still smiling and the aroma of pancakes only relaxed me further and making me slightly hungry. I inhaled softly then exhaled and leaned my head against the couch and closed my tired eyes. 'I really love her...I swear I will protect her with the price of my life if I must.' was my last thought before finally falling asleep.


Lucy's POV.

Happy truly is amazing for finding such a nice place for me to stay in besides the rent is not so high either. I kept on singing as I finished making the pancakes then poured two glasses of orange juice putting them on the tray along with the plates of pancakes and carefully carried them into the living room where Natsu and Happy was. I was smiling again. God did I smiled so much today. I can't help it though, I'm so happy I could feel my chest getting fuzzy again and I blushed when images of what happened earlier popped inside my head.

I saw Happy repeatedly poking Natsu's cheek who was smiling happily and seemed asleep and I raised a eyebrow. Did he fall asleep? I put the tray on the coffee table glancing at him and chuckling then I sat in his lap after turning the TV off and leaned my head against his chest sighing softly and I closed my eyes.

Happy flew on his head and fell asleep as well really fast. I giggled softly and cuddled in his lap to get more comfortable and suddenly I felt his arms wrap around me pulling me closer making me gasp softly and blush. 'Even in his sleep he is so loving towards me, I'm so happy!' I thought as his chin rested on top of my head. I heard him inhale and exhale dreamily making me blush further.

As I fell asleep driven by the steady beating of his heart a uncounscious whisper escaped my parted lips.

"I love you, Natsu.." and felt him tighting his hold on me and I swear I heard him mumble something back but sleep claimed over me.

"I love you, Lucy.."
