Lucy groggily opened her eyes and sat herself up in the bed. Looking over at her clothing stripped partner, a smile gracing her lips. Only for it to disappear a few seconds later. She loved him, and that was bad. She was here for information; he was nothing more than a mere pawn in her case. Or that's how it was supposed to be, that's how Sabertooth agencies saw him as. She wasn't supposed to develop feelings for Natsu Dragneel. He was the son of the famous mob boss, Igneel Dragneel. He was her target, to find where he was hiding and take him down. She had been assigned to seduce Natsu Dragneel into telling her where his father was hiding.

Eight months since then she had been able to become his girlfriend and had gotten her answer, as well as fall in love with him. The answer that she had gotten would not make the agency happy. Natsu had not known where his father was, said that one day if he ever came back, he would personally escort his father to jail, he was a cop after all. That had struck her as odd due to the fact he had told her stories of his childhood, and most seemed to be happy. But that aside, the minute she told the agency, they would take her off this job and place her in another. And in the process she'd be forced to break it off with Natsu. She had done this numerous times before, breaking people's hearts.

But if she did that to him she would be heartbroken herself. She was trying to buy time to figure out how to keep her relationship with him and the only way to do that would be to quit the agency. But that was easier said than done, she had a job as an elementary school teacher as part of her cover, so finding a job wouldn't be a problem.

Sabertooth was. She wasn't sure how they'd react. They would probably become angry at her and turn the world against her. Or they might just not let her quit and put her into another case in some other country. Shaking the thoughts out of her head, she got up and decided to go take a shower to clear her head.

Stepping out of the shower, she wrapped herself in a towel and looked in the mirror. She looked like a completely normal person, no one would ever suspect that she worked for a sketchy government agency. Maybe she could easily get away with just quitting and leading a normal life with Natsu. Seeing a smile appear on her face at the thought, definitely made it seem more appealing. But the happy moment was broken when her phone rang.

Grabbing it before it woke up her boyfriend she hissed "Hello."

"Well hello to you too my dear" came a melodically vicious voice.

Frowning she responded "Hello Minerva, what do you need at four in the morning?"

"Just called to ask about the Dragneel case. How's it coming?"

"Same as it's always been."

She heard Minerva sigh on the other side "Heartfilla, we've talked about this. You must have some clue or lead. You've been on this case for eight months. You should be off it by now."

"It's harder to get the information then I thought."

"Heartfilla, don't lie to me. Where is Igneel Dragneel? I know you know. You're just not telling me."

"Or maybe I really don't know anything."

"You wouldn't have happened to actually fall for the boy, did you?"

"Wha-no!"

"Lies, everyone here all knows you're fucking. So he should have told you by now. So you know and either you think it's a good idea to keep the information withheld or you fell in love with him. Which is it?"

"Well, uh, you have no-"

"Don't lie Heartfilla."

"Fine, I love him."

"So that's why you're withholding information?"

"No it's because I want to. Because you would split us up if I told you."

"You're correct. So tell me, what you know and we won't shatter his heart too much."

"You bitch!"

"That's business Heartfilla, your one of our agents so we own you."

"No you don't."

"Ha, and why is that?"

"Because I quit."

"Wait, what-"

"Don't call me ever again" Lucy said before clicking the phone shut. Throwing it in the toilet, she flushed it, looked like she would need a new phone number now.

After heading back to her room, she shuffled through the closet until she found an outfit for that day. After putting it on, she felt arms wrap around her waist as hot breath tickled her ear.

"Mornin' Luce" Natsu mumbled in her ear.

"Good morning Natsu" she replied before turning around and giving him a quick kiss on the lips. "Now put some clothes, I won't talk to you until you've put on your clothes."

"Why?"

"Because I might not go to work if you don't."

"I don't object to that."

"Oh get on some clothes" she said before unraveling herself from his grip and heading off to the kitchen. Leaving him marveling in how he scored a girl like that.
