"Natsu, I can't see. I'm going to trip and kill myself." Lucy groaned. Just as they had reached the hill that Natsu and Happy's home resided on he had covered her eyes with his scarf. That little act lead her to stumbling up the path and her complaining.
Natsu snickered, "Like I'd let you fall weirdo."
"AYE! Natsu will catch you because if I try I'd fall too!" Happy added.
"That's IT! Get over here so I can strangle you!" Lucy yelled while attempting to break free of Natsu's grip.
"WAAAAA! Save me! Lucy's going to use me as a vase!"
Natsu ignored them and kept leading Lucy to the house. At the sight of the sign he smiled. Deciding to save that for her to find later he walked up to the door pushing it open. "Weird." He mumbled.
"Aye."
"What's weird? Guys can I take this off yet?"
Natsu blinked at her. He had yet to see it but he knew where everything was supposed to be. Spotting the hallway that hadn't been there before he smiled. Reaching over and pulling the scarf down so it was now slung around her neck, both Happy and himself yelled, "SURPRISE!"
Lucy blinked several times trying to adjust to the light. When her vision cleared she gasped. "It's cleaner than when I did it." that was the first thing she noticed. Taking another step into the house she suddenly realized, "Oh shit! You got rid of the tree and fixed the roof!"
"AYE! It's outside now!" While Natsu had spent his day at the guild, Happy had made sure to come out to the house and check over everything. Of course he had told his partner about all the changes but it was still funny to see both their astonished looks.
For the most part the main room looked the same as when she had left. The bigger difference was the dressers and work out stuff was missing as well as Natsu's hammock. Lucy smiled at the sight of the wall covered with mission requests. Blushing she noticed that he still had that forsaken maid costume. Funnily enough though, the King's Crown had been placed on the manikin with the costume.
Suddenly straitening, Happy took on a pose of authority while saying, "Welcome to the house. I'll be your tour guide! AYE!"
Lucy giggled and Natsu smirked. "Well by all means lead the way!" Lucy said as she kicked off her heals.
"Save the best part for last buddy!" Natsu called as he too removed his shoes, dumped Lucy's stuff in the corner and followed.
"AYE SIR! Now as you see the house is clean and the tree is gone. If you follow me this way you will see that the kitchen is bigger and stocked." He finished holding a fish.
"Impressive." Lucy mumbled. "OI! If your house is stocked with food what the hell are you two always doing eating everything at my place for?"
Natsu scratched the back of his neck and shifted nervously, "Erza just did this today."
Looking unimpressed Lucy said, "That is what you had her doing?"
"Part of it."
Before she could rant further Happy started talking, "Aye! Now if you look over here you will see a huge bathroom! With the biggest tub ever!"
Losing her anger Lucy looked in the room and once more gasped. "I should start using your bath from now on." She mumbled to herself.
"That's the plan." Natsu blurted out.
"What was that?"
"Aye moving on!" Happy interjected once again. Flying to the previously unseen, by Lucy at least, hall way he said, "Here you will find four rooms! Follow me and I'll show you the bestest one of them!"
Natsu sighed in relief when the exceed flew all the way down the hall. If everyone did things right the one he wanted last should be at the start of the hall not the end.
"AYE! MY ROOM!" Happy cheered.
Lucy laughed. The room screamed Happy all over it. It had been done in shades of green and white and was covered in fish and fish related things. He even had a book case for all his fish books. In the middle was what looked to be a toddler bed but for Happy it was perfect sized. Looking closer she noticed three plushies. One was a trout, the second looked to be one of Charla that Max sold at the guild store. Glaring slightly she noticed the third looked an awful like the one of Plue she had that Virgo had made her. It was the only one in existence as far as she knew. Shaking her head she let it go. If this meant they would be spending their nights back home maybe the little guy needed something of her to keep him calm. It was a sweet and sad thought at the same time. She would miss them.
Shaking the thoughts she continued to look. There was a picture that Redus had done hanging on the wall. It was their full extended team. Lucy was sitting on the bar top with Wendy standing next to her cheering, Happy was on Lucy's head and Charla was floating between. She had an arm slung over Natsu who was leaning back into her with his huge childlike grin in place. Erza was standing beside him arms crossed and Grey next to her with his elbow on her shoulder. It was a great picture and Lucy had wondered where it went to after Redus had finished it.
"I think it's perfect for you Happy!" Lucy smiled.
"WAAAA Lucy's being mean again!"
"NO I'M NOT! I'm serious! Sheesh!"
Sniffling once Happy looked to her, "Really?"
Softening her gaze she replied, "Yes really."
"AYE! On with the tour!" Flying across the hall Happy opened the door, "This is the book room!"
Lucy stopped dead in her tracks. Most the books they had, from what she had seen, belonged to Happy. So why on earth did they need a 'book room' as he called it? Looking inside the moon lit room she first noticed the large window that looked out to the forest. It was a breath taking site. Tearing her eyes away to take in the rest of the room she giggled. Three books lined the shelf of one of the two tall book cases. "I think you have too many book cases."
Natsu laughed a bit nervously, "Yeh well I'm hoping those will fill up some." He mumbled as he scratched his neck and shifted his weight from side to side.
Lucy laughed a bit harder, "Are you going to take up reading suddenly?"
"Not exactly."
Before Lucy could pry further, Happy once again interrupted, "Aye! Moving on!" Going to the door that was next to his room and opening it he said, "Aye! This is the training room!"
Lucy laughed further looking in. Inside the room was all the weights and punching bags and whatnot that had been scattered through the main part of the house on her first visit. Now everything was spaced out evenly and orderly. Squinting, she saw something. "Oi? Is that the dumbbell you guys got me years ago?" She was pretty sure that thing was still under her bed.
"AYE! I made Lily bring it over for you!"
Raising a brow she asked, "So what? I'm supposed to start training with you two now? Given it's better than your sweaty asses in my home but still."
"AYE! If you train then you won't be so heavy!"
"GAAAAA Take that back before I beat you to death!"
"WAAAA! Lucy's going to turn me into stew!" Happy wailed as he fled to his room slamming the door in her face.
Rubbing her now sore nose she glared at the door until Natsu got her attention. Huffing she turned and started to head back down the hall. "I'm going home." She stated as she handed Natsu his scarf. As an afterthought she added, "The house looks great." She had almost made it down the length of the hall before Natsu grabbed her hand halting her. Taken back by the fact he found the floor interesting she asked, "Natsu?"
Taking a deep breath and not bothering to lift his eyes he said, "There's one more room Luce." He tugged her slightly towards the door and interlocked their fingers. For the second time that day he found himself hoping he wasn't about to die.
What's behind door number 4?! It's like a game show! The winner gets... Idk... a Gemi point! Good for one Gemi hug!
