Lucy finds Natsu under one of the big sakura trees. He had his eyes closed and the blue exceed sitting next to him.
"Natsu." She whispered. The dragon slayer just smile, already knowing Lucys scent from when she crossed the bridge. When he open his eyes he gets a smaller chock to find her brown eyes just a few inches from his. She smiles that bright smile and sat down next to him. He followed her movements with hungry eyes. He has never felt a scent like Lucys before, it was thrilling and terrifying at the same time. Lucy really pushed his dragon instinct to the edge and it made him have a hard time to turning back to human state.
"Why are you sitting here all by yourself?" Lucy said as she started to play with the grass on the cold ground. The blue cat was really asleep, he thought and growled low when he hides his face in his palms. He was mostly angry at himself for not have enough courage for making Lucy his, he knew that she didn´t see him that way and stood suddenly up.
"I´m sorry, I have to… see someone." He said and rushed away before Lucy was able to react or response.
The blond celestial spirit mage sighed as she poked at the blue cat.
"Happy lets go." She said to him as he met her eyes.
"Aye." Happy answered and let his white wings fly the tired body. "Where´s Natsu?"
"He said that he was going to meet someone. You don't know?" Lucy asked surprised.
The blue exceed blinked. "No, but he has been different."
"Oh." Lucy suddenly realized the obvious. "He´s meeting someone, do you think that Natsu have a girlfriend?"
This make the blue cat laugh devilish. "Natsu with a girl! No way, the only girl he ever liked is Lisanna and she…" the cat went silent. Lucy smiled at him.
"Right, Lisanna are coming back today. He must be exited for meeting her. This is great! Next month rent here I come!" Lucy laughed and made a little jump in the air. A cold breeze made her pull the jacket closer and suddenly lose her balance. It was Natsus jacket, she remember taking it this morning. But she totally forgot about it after that, and now she could smelled the forest fire again. Natsus skin had a different smell from other people, she blushed a little when she smelled the jacket again. It really smelled like him, and she really liked it… shit.
"Hey Lucy, watch where you going." A harsh voice said and made Lucy glance up. It was Grey who stood there half naked. She smiled and find his shirt just some meters behind them.
"Put it on or you might be arrested." She laughed, not feeling irritated today. Gray blush a little but put on the black shirt and started to walk next to the blond mage.
"So what are your plans for today?" the spirit stellar mage asked. Grey shrugged and throws a rock in the lake as they walked over the bridge.
"I´m going back to the guild and see if anything interesting comes up. And you? You want to come too?"
Lucy shakes her head. "I´m going to play spy today. Want to join me?"
"Who are we spying at?" Grey asked a little confused but exited.
"Natsu and his girlfriend, I have to see it with my own eyes."
"Why do you care?" the ice mage sounded irritated and put his hands deep down in his pockets. Lucy blushed some more.
"I just have to see it to believe it. Want to come or not."
"I guess…" Grey said. "But we need a disguise." And he smile at Lucys confused look.
"I want to be a bird." The blue cat happily said.
An hour later Lucy and Grey walked down the streets in Magnolia, but not as the blonde and blackhaired people like before. Lucy had a bright pink wig and a big hat so you couldn´t see the brown eyes and she walked next to a blonde guy with pipe and glasses which made him look ten years older. They had seen the pink haired dragon slayer some block away and followed him as he walked alone down the streets. Happy had met Carla and Wendy before and without a hesitate he had dumped Lucy and Grey for the white female exceed.
"I don't think he´s going to meet someone." Grey whispered as he watch Lucy trough the dark sunglasses. The clothes felt warm and itchy on his body and it took all his control for not throwing them away.
"Wait." Lucy said and walked closer to the dragon slayer. He had finally stopped outside one of the shops and he didn´t look happy. "Look there´s Lisanna."
And she was right, the white haired take over mage met Natsu with a wide smile. She took his arm and started pulling him away. Natsu followed her easy and even smiled his goofy smile. Lucy felt a sting in her heart but shake it off just as fast, she nodded at Grey who pointed at one of the park bench. They sat down as they watched the sweet couple talking and walking in the park.
"I don´t think they are going to do anything interesting." Grey said bored but Lucy hushed him. Natsu and Lisanna had now separated and she watched how the fire mage went down the park.
"Let´s go." She said and started to run for it. She felt Grey closing in on her and for some reason it made her run faster.
"Wait Lucy." He said not caring if he used her name. Lucy stopped and looked around, the dragon slyer was long gone. Great, she had lost her bait. No more spying for her…
"He´s gone." She murmured and took of the big hat.
"Yeah, maybe for the best. I´m going to the guild, want me to follow you home before?"
Lucy nodded and they throw away the extra stuff in the nearest trashcan. Grey followed her home and she winked him goodbye as he kept on going. With a loud sigh the blonde open the locked door and walked in in her dark apartment. It was late afternoon and the sun was already going down.
"Welcome home, had a fun date with Grey?" a dark voice was heard. Lucy screamed and dropped her key to find a certain dragon slayer in her couch.
"You scared me Natsu." Lucy said and was happy for the black apartment as her cheeks was red. "Why are you here alone in the dark?"
Lucy was going to find switch on the light when a hand stopped her. Natsu had moved without her hearing his steps and held her wrists. She could feel his body heat streaming against her back as he stood just a few inches from her and breathing against her neck.
"Natsu, let me go." She whispered and felt her heart stopped, she had been held by Natsu a hundred of times, why did this time feel so different?
"Are you in love with Grey?" he asked her softly and teased her when he blown some warm air over her neck which made Lucy tremble.
"… n..no." she stuttered and felt her mind go blank, she couldn´t think when he was so close.
"Good." Natsu said and she could feel his smile. Natsu stroke a lock of her hair back and then followed her neck with light fingers. He didn´t knew that Lucys weak spot where her neck, but now he took advantage of his new discovery. "Why where you following me then Lucy?"
Lucy felt her body melt and then freeze again. Of course he had smelled them following him before, how could she be stupid enough to forget about his dragon instinct.
"I just wanted to see… to know…" She whispered nervous and try to release his grip on her but she couldn´t when he held her that tight. She panicked, why was Natsu doing this? He had never played with her like this before. He was always the goofy kid in her eyes, the goofy man who saved her more than once. Who rather eat some good fire than look at girls in swimsuit.
Natsu could feel Lucy change in his grip, he could sense the blonde go nervous and started to play with her neck again. He blew hot air and touched her with light fingers, very soon she relaxed and it made Natsu smile in triumph.
"Tell me." He whispered in her ear. "Tell me you…"
BANG
Natsu let go of Lucy with a growl ready to fight the disturber. And find him in chock when a little girl with big blue eyes, lying on the floor looking up at him.
"Heidi!" Lucy said in surprise. "What on earthland are you doing here?"
The little girl flushed a little as she looked at Natsu.
"I´m sorry. I didn´t know you had a boyfriend oneesan…"
Lucy just wanted to disappear down the ground. "No, no Natsu are not my boyfriend. He´s my partner and best friend though." She smiled and helped the little girl up on her feet.
"Natsu this is Heidi, she´s the daughter of an old friend. And she has this bad habit of running away from home." Lucy observed the girl with her big brown eyes, but just got a big smile back.
"I wanted to see you and your new guild. I haven´t seen you in over two years. Please don't be mad at me" The girl said with sad tone.
"Well you´re here now. Let´s call your mom to tell her."
"Nooo." Heidi whined and throws herself at Lucy. I don´t want her to know where I am.
"We have to, I´m sure she´s very worried." Lucy sighed. "Go and join Natsu in the living room. I´ll be there soon."
Lucy felt relieved that she could leave the room. Natsu had tried to meet her eyes but she couldn´t look at him right now. How could she when her whole body still was warm and screaming after his touch. She didn´t know that anyone could feel like this, she didn´t know that she could have these feelings. She groaned quiet, this wasn´t good at all.
"Okey Heidi. Your mom is coming tomorrow for you. So you can stay here tonight." Lucy said as she walked out in the living room to find Natsu play with the little girl on the floor. They had turned her living room into a big castle where Heidi was on top of the table which was put over the sofa and her desk.
"Oneesan, play with us." A happy Heidi scream. Lucy watched the girl as she laughed and throws some pillows at Natsu. Her blue hair had grown and was nearly down to her lower back.
"Okey, let´s make Heidi the princess and Natsu the dragon." Lucy smiled with an evil smile. But Natsu seem to like his new mission and started to prepare the "great dragon" like he called it.
"Oneesan, you can be a princess too." Heidi said and but a fake crown on her head made of paper.
"Right, now we have to defeat the evil dragon." Lucy said. "Are you ready?"
Natsu and Heidi nod, even that Lucy knew that Natsu would never use fire inside her apartment she got a little nervous when she saw the smoke came through he´s mouth as he smiled wide.
Natsu roared and throws himself at the castle, Heidi screamed and hide behind Lucy. She could defiantly see why, Natsu really looked like a monster with his eyes fixating on Lucy. She noticed how he followed her movements as them hide under the table.
"Watch this." Lucy whispered to Heidi. She held in one of her keys. "Virgo!"
The maid showed up before them.
"Punishment princess?" the maid asked in a low voice. Lucy just smiled weak.
"No, I want you to distract Natsu while we made a run for it. But don´t use any magic." She said.
"As you wish, princess." And then Virgo disappeared. Lucy heard Natsu growl and she pulled Heidi close.
"See that door? Make it through there and we are safe." She said to the girl and pointed at the door that went into her bedroom. The girl nodded, and then started to run with a big scream at the door. Lucy laughed and followed her, she saw Heidi open the door and run into the bedroom.
"Watch out." The girl screamed and Lucy leek behind her, saw a big shadow and then she was on the floor. But something warm was underneath her.
"Got ya!" Natsu smiled. "Now princess you´re mine."
Lucy breath heavenly, and Natsu took her silence for a chance. He placed his lips against her neck, gave her a light kiss and then he suddenly dropped her.
"Ouch." Natsu said and tried to get away. The little girl had started hitting his head hard with a large stick she found on the floor that Lucy recognized at her cleaning mop.
"Don´t bite my Lucy." She screamed and the picture of Natsu being beating up by a 7 year old made Lucy laugh.
"Yaay, Heidi we won. You killed the dragon." Lucy said and stopped the girl from hitting Natsu again. "Let´s celebrate with some sweets."
The girl giggled and ran out to the kitchen. Lucy helped Natsu up on his feet.
"Are you okey?" she asked the fire mage. He just nodded. "Good." Then she hit him hard on the shoulder. "What are you problem you damn dragon?"
Natsu just smiled at her. "Let´s go and get some sweets, princess."
