Lucy twirled her golden locks with her finger as she surveyed the bypassers. Her shift was supposed to be over two hours ago but Cana still hadn't come to take her shift, and it had been her idea in the first place to hold a kissing booth for the fundraiser. She was probably shit faced drunk and didn't even know who she was. No that was only Lucy's wishful thinking, no amount of liquor could make Cana that drunk, and there wasn't enough at this fair to even make her close to drunk.

It wasn't like it was unbearable. Yeah there had been a few guys you had tried to shove their tongue in her mouth but other than that it wasn't terrible, and there was one other reason why it hadn't been so bad. Her crush of exactly eight months, three week and five days, Natsu Dragneel, had stopped by and paid for a kiss from her. Not once but FIVE times! She was practically floating, and he was a great kisser. Geez, but it made her confused, did he like her like that or was he just doing it for the charity? And if he did like her than why didn't he just ask her out.

Why did he have to be so hard to read?! They had become friendly over the past few months after she had got the courage to talk to him. So it wasn't like they didn't know each other. So if he did like her why didn't he make a move? Or maybe him coming and paying her to kiss him was his way of making a move? Her brain was starting to hurt for trying to figure out this situation.

Looking up she saw the unmistakably spiky pink hair coming in her direction and she felt her hear skip a beat. When she realized he was walking towards her for the sixth time that evening she felt her face heat up. When he walked up and put five dollars on the table again she thought she was going to pass out.

"Hey, so can I get another kiss or you 'bout to switch?" Natsu asked her with his unmistakable grin.

"Why?" she asked him feeling her heart beat speed up, she needed to get to the bottom of this behavior before she had heart failure.

"Why what?" he asked giving her a confused look as he raised his eyebrows. Lucy felt as though she had been shot through the heart and felt her face heat up even more at this action. Shaking her head she remembered what her mission was.

"Why do you keep coming over here and paying me to kiss you?" she asked.

"Because it's for a good cause" he answered with a grin "So are you saying that I should take my five dollars and walk away? Do you hate me that much?"

"Wha-, wha, NO! I'm just asking what you're reason is. I mean you've come over here five other times and have paid like thirty dollars just to kiss me. Is it a dare or something?"

"Huh? No way."

"Then why are you paying this much just to kiss me?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Maybe cause I want to kiss you" Natsu answered with a raised eyebrow "Maybe I like you and I want to kiss you but the easiest way to do that is to pay you to kiss me, have you thought about that?" Natsu said with a smirk.

"Wha- you, you what?!" Lucy squealed.

"Geez Luce you sure are dense" Natsu said with a chuckle "So can I get my kiss or-"

Lucy cut him off before he could say anything else that would fluster her. Grabbing him but that stupid scarf he was always wearing she tugged him down to her and slammed her lips against him. She continued to keep her tight grip on his scarf as she felt his one hand cup her face and the other tangling with her hair. It was a long and sweet kiss and Lucy swore that she saw fireworks. When they pulled apart she mumbled "That was free of charge."

Natsu face was almost as pink as his hand but with a laugh he said to her "So I'll take that as a cue that you liked kissing me too."

"Yah you idiot. So are you going to ask me out or am I going to have to kiss you again?"

"Is that you offering to kiss me again free of charge?" Natsu teased.

"Only if you at least ask me out to dinner" Lucy teased right back.

"Ok then, would you like to go out to eat after you shift's over?"

"It was over two hours ago" Lucy said standing up "I think I'm free to go."

"So were you only staying in hopes of kissing me again" Natsu asked.

"Don't push my luck if you want a kiss" Lucy said as she took his hand in hers and waited for him to lead them away. The booth had earned plenty of money already, another hour wouldn't make much of a difference.
