Veggies
Its lunch time at the guild and Lucy is about ready to pull her hair out in frustration. Natsu is off on a job with Happy and she is on her own to get Nashi to eat his vegetables. Sitting in front of his plate with his arms crossed stubbornly in front of him, the little Dragneel had eaten everything that wasn't green.
"Nashi Ignis Dragneel, eat your veggies."
Brown eyes narrowed defiantly at her. "No, mama!"
"They are not that bad. How come you won't eat them?" She asked exasperated, wishing she had gotten another cup of coffee.
"Daddy eats meat. Veggies no meat!"
Pouting, Lucy plucked a lonely broccoli floret that had been steamed and sprinkled with a little salt from his plate. She chewed and quickly swallowed, smiling at her son. "Daddy eats them, you just don't see him do it."
"Na uh! No meat!" Puffing his cheeks out in annoyance, Nashi turned away from his mother.
Rubbing at her temples, Lucy is about ready to take the plate away in defeat when a well-muscled arm wraps gently around her shoulders.
"I'm home! Miss me?" the newly arrived Natsu says, looking down at his family as Happy lands on his shoulder. Smiling tiredly back at her husband, Lucy nuzzles his chin as their son throws his arms out happily.
"Daddy! Daddy home!"
"He won't eat his veggies, Natsu," Lucy murmurs against his cheek, reaching around him to pet Happy. The Exceed purrs under her hand and then pulls out a fish to munch on.
The Dragon Slayer blined as he looked down at his son. "Oh? You don't like veggies, kiddo?"
Nashi nodded wisely. "No meat."
Raising a brow at his son then looking at his pouting wife, Natsu grinned. Pulling Lucy closer, he gave her a thorough kiss that had Nashi covering his eyes.
"Eeww!"
Pulling away, Natsu made a show of licking his lips. "Mmmm. Broccoli. Good stuff!"
To prove his point, he leaned over to pluck another floret from Nashi's plate. Lucy never saw her son move so fast to snatch his plate back.
"No! Mine!"
Sighing as Nashi finished his veggies, Lucy hugged her husband tighter. "Thank you, Natsu."
"Ha ha, now I'm hungry! Mira, my usual!"
