Lucy hummed absentmindedly as she walked into her cupboard of a kitchen and surveyed once again her set up for that evenings Christmas eve dinner, it was Natsu and her's first since they had become a couple and since a few friends were coming over later she had made a pretty big deal out of it . Everything seemed in place except…..the plate that had the gingerbread cookies on it was now cleaned, with nothing left except for a few crumb.

"Who the fuck ate the gingerbread cookies?!" Lucy bellowed. She was sure the neighbors had heard her, but they always seemed to complain about her yelling and it was just normal to them now whenever they heard the tell-tale sheiks that some pink haired man was most likely about to get a kick in the face.

Lucy was pretty sure she knew who the culprit was, she just needed to figure out where he was hiding. When she passed a mewing blue cat she figured she was close since Happy never strayed too far from his master's side when he was around. When she turned the corner, she saw her pink haired boyfriend sitting on the couch talking angrily into his phone.

"I told you old man I can't come in" Natsu said angrily into the phone to whoever it was he was talking to "I don't care. The entire fucking west side of town could be one fire and I still wouldn't come in!" Lucy was now able to deduce that he was talking to his boss "Listen its Christmas Eve for Christ's sakes." There was a pause before he began his angry ranting again "Yeah yeah Christmas spirt and I should care and come in to help but guess what, I put in for this night off three months ago. So no way am I dropping my plans to come in. Plus it's Lucy and I's first Christmas together old man. Please just let me off the hook once." A few seconds past before Natsu punched his fist in the air say "Thanks old man you're the best."

Once he had hung up the phone did she speak "So work?"

He jumped a bit before turning around and say "Yeah, there's a fire on the west side of town and he was calling in anyone for back-up."

"Why didn't you go?" Lucy asked as she came around and sat down next to him.

"Because you would probably kill me. Plus this kinda means a lot to me" he said slinging his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to him "It is our first Christmas together, as a couple. So I definitely want to be with you for the entire time this year, unlike last year."

"Yeah, you had five calls that night, and I would not kill you."

"You sounded like you wanted to kill me a little while ago."

"That's right. Thanks for reminding me the reason I came looking for you."

"Geez, did I just cause my own death?"

"Natsu Dragneel, did you eat the gingerbread cookies?"

"Huh?"

"The cookies, the gingerbread cookies I made for the party?"

"I didn't know that you made any cookies."

"Then who ate them?"

"You?"

"No, why would I ask you if you ate them if I did?"

"To throw off your tracks."

"No. Well if you didn't do it and I didn't do it, then who did?" Lucy asked right as Happy trotted over to the two and climbed into Lucy's lap. Natsu reached over and patted the cats head before stopping.

"Looks like I found your culprit" Natsu told her.

"Who, Happy?"

"Yep, he has crumbs in his whiskers."

"Let me see" she said picking up the cat and putting his face in front of hers "I can't believe you, you thieving cat." Sure enough Happy had crumbs on his face and all he did about this accusation was mew at her.

"Looks like you'll need to make more" Natsu said.

"Yeah I do. I can't believe your damn cat ate my cookies."

"Hey, he's your cat too. He's as attached to you as me."

"Only because after you got him you always brought him with you when you came to my apartment."

"Yeah and he loved you instantly then, just like I did when I met you" Natsu said before leaning over and kissing her neck.

"Flatter gets you nowhere right now. Come on and help me remake these cookies that our cat ate" Lucy said as she stood up and offered him a hand.

Grabbing it he said "Fine, but only because I want some."

"You can have two after they're done."

"You're the best Luce."

"I know, now come on. Those cookies aren't gonna bake themselves."

A/N: Sorry that the latest update was all older Christmas ones. But I've been busy working on the multi-chapter fic(its' Nalu if you couldn't have guessed by what I mainly write) I'll be posting the first chapter next Monday.
