Lucy woke up in the morning and fumed, seeing that Natsu wasn't next to her snoring or how her phone wasn't filled with missed phone calls or text messages. Oh, not this again. Why did she have to be the one calling first? Lucy just wanted to bang her head against the wall or something and she groaned in frustration this time, she will not do it herself. She'll wait for him this time and she swears the next time she sees him she's going to kill him.

Lucy hopped out of bed and mumbled a few foul words under her breath and walked to her bathroom, wanting to brush her teeth before she went out on a run. Whenever she was frustrated or need time to think about things she often ran around the campus or went to the gym to do some exercises and she needed that now. Lucy brushed her teeth and grabbed a hair-tie, quickly brushing through her tangled morning hair to host it up in a pony-tail. Lucy exited the bathroom to go change into some comfortable yoga-pants and a t-shirt to go run, noticing that it wasn't snowing anymore and the sun was out. Christmas was only in 3 days and Lucy was looking forward to it since Erza was coming back tomorrow.

The blonde grabbed her iPod and keys, strapping everything on to walk towards the door and open it widely. She was startled by a pink-haired man holding up his fist mid-way on about to knock, his eyes also round. "N—Natsu?"

"Lucy!"

"What the—"

"Are you wearing yoga-pants?" Lucy looked down at her legs to see Natsu pointing at them, his eyebrow raised as a small smirk lingered on his lips. Lucy placed her water bottle down on the small table and nodded, "Yes."

"Oh god," Natsu gasped out as he reached forward and grabbed her arm, pulling her towards him to capture her lips with his. Lucy made a sound of surprise in the back of her throat but sunk into the kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck as she walked backwards. Natsu closed the door shut with his foot and continued kissing the blonde, grabbing her iPod out of her hand to toss it somewhere behind him and slide his hand down her back to cup her ass. Lucy's hands found their way into his rosy soft locks and the two of them were kissing each other breathlessly. Natsu lifted the blonde up off her feet and immediately Lucy wrapped them around his waists, Natsu taking her shoes off with his hands.

"I—"Lucy started breathlessly as she pulled away, Natsu nipping at her neck while moving towards her bedroom. She made a gasping noise as she was brought into her room, his teeth gazing on her skin.

"Need to talk to youoh!" Natsu smirked against her neck and dropped her on her bed, quickly stripping off his shirt and scarf. Lucy pulled her t-shirt off while he striped, not even knowing why she was doing this. "Sure, go ahead."

"I mean—don't you think we need to talk about the whole incident yesterday?"

"We will, that's why I'm here,"

"I think you're here for sex." Lucy said as her words were muffled by his kisses again, his hands going around her back to unhook her bra. Natsu snickered and placed a wet kiss on her neck, the bra now being tossed behind her. "I can't resist a woman in yoga-pants."

"Guess I need to wear yoga-pants more." Lucy giggled as Natsu nipped at her neck again, his hands roaming around her body. Lucy let out a low moan as his hands softly massaged her breasts, Natsu's lips trailing up and down her neck. "How about you wear nothing at all?"

"Just shut up, I need explanation—do that again," Lucy gasped out as she stopped talking, Natsu smirking once again. "This?" Natsu purred, his thumbs brushing over her erected nipples. Lucy shivered and muttered a small, "Yes." and Natsu continued. "Please, talk to me."

"I am what do you want to talk about?"

"W—why did you call me last night?"

"I was busy talking to my dad," Natsu grunted, his teeth gazing over her milky skin. He pulled back to see red mark, smirking at his love marks.

He knows Lucy won't be happy about this.

"Your dad?"Lucy asked surprised, the two of them oblivious about the dorm door opening and a certain somebody entering.

Natsu grunted in response and Lucy let out a hearty moan, twisting her fingers in his bubble gum pink hair. Natsu smashed his lips against hers again and forcefully opened her mouth, sliding his tongue inside her mouth to make her moan inside his mouth.

The two started to battle for dominance when they pulled away, the pair breathless and flushed, staring into each other's eyes. Natsu smirked at her scowling blushing face and leaned down to kiss her lips again but froze mid-way when he heard a gasp and something slamming against the floor. Lucy and Natsu turned their head to the doorway to see Levy and Gajeel, their jaw dropped and their eyes wide.

Lucy let out a squeak of surprise and shoved Natsu off her, grabbing her bed-sheets to cover her exposed breasts, her face turning into a scarlet color. Natsu sat up and looked to the floor, glaring at the ground to curse silently. He was just too close on getting laid.

"L—Levy-Chan! I—it's—!" Before she could explain Levy let out a shriek, Natsu and Gajeel's ears ringing as Lucy winced a bit. The blue-haired college student turned around and shoved Gajeel out; causing him to let out a confused what the fuck while Lucy covered her red face in her hands.

She knew she was in a whole lot of trouble and she knew she wasn't going to hear the end of this.

Why did this always happen to her?

~X~

"Alright, before you freak out, let us explain." Lucy said as she stood in front of her roommate and best friend, Natsu right behind her as he fumed a bit. Levy looked at her best friend, blushing from head to toe as she just walked in her best friend almost having sex. It was the most embarrassing thing she had ever done to Lucy and she felt horrible for it. "I don't see what we need to explain, we were about to have sex, that's just it."

"Natsu! You can't just say that."

"Well I did and I'm a bit upset that she walked in on us—you don't see us doing that to you and Gajeel!"

"If you do that I'll pummel you to the ground!" Gajeel shouted back, making Natsu shoot him a glare. Lucy snapped towards Natsu, catching his attention. "Shut up," Natsu gave her a nod and rolled his eyes when she wasn't looking, the blonde looking at the horrified Levy. "Natsu's right, I'm the one to blame, sorry."

"No, don't be. You actually did a good thing, Natsu and I needed to talk about some things."
Lucy said ignoring the scoff she heard from behind her. Levy nodded and stood up, grabbing Gajeel's hand. "We'll leave you be for a couple hours. . . Sorry." Levy apologized making Lucy sigh. "It's alright, like I said."

"Let's go, Gajeel, sorry Lu-Chan!" Levy apologized once more and run out of the place, hurling Gajeel along with her. Lucy didn't know she was holding her breath till she blew out a large amount of air, sighing in relief.

She just made everything so awkward for them.

Lucy squeaked in surprise when she felt something wrap around her waists, Natsu's nose buried in her blonde hair. "Mm, strawberries." Natsu mumbled, smirking against her hair. Lucy blushed and pulled away, shooting the half-naked guy a look. "No, don't do that, it'll distract me."

"Oh, that's what I'm trying to do Miss."

"No! We need to talk!"

"Can't we talk while making love?" Natsu whined making Lucy gasp and blush even harder. Lucy gawked at him, wondering what in the world went through his head when something serious is happening but then again this is Natsu Dragneel we're talking about. Lucy also was a bit shocked to hear Natsu call it, 'love-making' when he always used other words. Was he really in love with her? "N—no!" Lucy sputtered, Natsu's face falling immediately.

"Fine,"

It made Lucy feel a bit bad and she groaned. "Afterwards." Lucy mumbled making his smile return. "Okay!"

Lucy sighed and shook her head and made her way to the couch, Natsu following soon after. They sat next to each other and an awkward silence hung in the air. "So,"

"So?"

"Uhm, you know what I want to talk to you about?"

"About yesterday's . . . events." Lucy nodded and grabbed her hands that were on her lap, taking in a deep breath. "I . . . err, I'll marry you." Lucy said as she looked at the beaming man that sat in front of her. "But—"Lucy said making Natsu knit his eyebrows together and mouth the word trying to test it out in his mouth. "We won't marry immediately."

"I'm fine with that because honestly, I think this going a bit too fast and such so let's wait a month or two." Natsu shrugged, flashing Lucy a grin and she return the gesture, Natsu leaning over to embrace her. "You don't know how freaked out I was yesterday," Natsu mumbled against her hair, a laugh escaping Lucy's lips.

"I know, I was too."

"I called up Lisanna and than my father . . . geez, it was awkward."

"It seems so—I only called Erza." Lucy said and she felt Natsu tense in her arms. She pulled away and looked at the pink-haired male, wondering what was wrong. When she saw his face he was a bit paler than usual and looked a bit uneasy making her wonder why he was acting like this. He gulped and looked at Lucy, his eyes a bit wide.

"T—That scarlet monster?"

Lucy laughed at this and she nodded, her arms wrapped around his shoulders as his were tightening on her waists. "What did . . . she say?" Natsu asked a bit scared to ask since he knew Erza was scary and protective of Lucy, what if she said no?

"She said to follow my heart,"

"And what did your heart say?"

A smile curled up in her face and she replied with, "I love him, why not be his forever?" And with that Natsu shoved her to the couched and kissed her senseless, about to make love to the loving girl he loves so much.


"I mean, I don't understand why I'm here, Luce. I don't want to die in the airport, I picture myself dying someplace else, you know?"

"What the hell are you blabbing about now, Natsu?" Lucy sighed, giving the male beside her a strange look. She only brought Natsu to the airport with her because she didn't feel like driving and she wanted to go be the first to greet Erza but somehow Natsu started to talk about right beside her making her worry a bit. "I don't want to be here," Natsu bluntly stated making Lucy sigh and roll her eyes. "I know, you told me earlier and the whole ride here but you owe me."

"Just because I made love to you all day yesterday and you were late 10 minutes to work doesn't mean I owe you this much. This is suicidal!"

"This is not! And I am a lady who tries to be on time every time but since because of a certain someone that is happening." Lucy snapped causing Natsu to roll his eyes as she looked away. "I was showing how much I love you."

"Yeah, I can just feel it raiding out of your body." Lucy scoffed, sarcasm laced in-between her words. Natsu frowned and they didn't say another word, Lucy's head turning from left to right as she looked for a familiar looking scarlet-haired woman. Natsu grabbed her hand as she was about to collide with another person, Lucy making a sound of surprise as she came colliding with Natsu's hard warm chest. "Watch where you're going, they're people everywhere." Natsu said, looking around as Lucy looked up at him. She smiled and squeezed his hands, making him look down on him.

She could imagine herself with this guy forever, she really can.

She leaned up and pressed her lips against his, Natsu immediately returning the pressure as soon as he felt her warm lips press against hers. As soon as they got into it Natsu got pushed to the ground, a familiar red, blue, purple, and black bag being thrown on top of the pink-haired male. "What the hell?" Natsu groaned in pain as Lucy covered her mouth in surprise.

"No touching," A threatening voice boomed, Lucy's eyes shifting to find her scarlet friend. Lucy's whole face brightened up as Natsu's fell, the blonde twirling to fling herself onto her friend who didn't even move an inch. "Erza!"

"Lucy!"

"I missed you!" Lucy cried, looking at Erza as she cried tears of tears, Erza sighing a bit. "You never change, do you?" Erza said while looking at the teary-eyed blonde who pouted childishly. Erza smiled and pulled her arms length away, her arms on her shoulders as she studied her friend. "Hmm, you look the same . . . your stomach is still flat so I'm guessing you're not pregnant yet." Lucy blushed scarlet as she sputtered, "E—Erza!"

"I'm kidding, Lucy."

"Yeah right . . . how do you deal with her, Jellal?" Lucy sighed as she looked at the blue-haired man who helped Natsu, chuckling a slight bit. "Yeah, how do you?" Natsu murmured, Jellal shrugging. "Love is a wonderful thing,"

"Anyways, how's everything? Studies okay? Life?" Erza asked, completing ignore the males who grabbed all her heavy luggage. Lucy giggled and smiled at her friend, nodding at everything. "Everything great, how's yours? How was Europe? Tell me all about it!"

"I will, of course, I even got you some things. It's in one of my bags." Lucy's eyes widen and it started to twinkle, her hands clapping together. "Really?"

"Really." Lucy cheered and Erza smiled at her behavior, grabbing her purse that had fallen on the floor when she hugged the blonde. She locked arms with Lucy and started to pull her down the hall, the boys struggling to keep up. "Come, let us go eat some lunch all together."

"Should we help—"

"I think not." And with that, the boys followed and the girls talked, on their way to some fabulous restaurant Erza talked about.


Lucy bit into her sandwich as she made a hum of delight, Erza sitting in front of her to eat her favorite strawberry cake, Natsu sitting next to her swallowing anything edible and Jellal being next to Erza eating his very own food which keeps being stolen by the college student. They were in a small restaurant that was in the area and the four loved it. Erza has her cake, Jellal and Natsu had foods they liked, and Lucy was enjoying everything there.

"So, Natsu, I heard your childhood lover came back couple of days ago." Erza said making Natsu tense and Lucy laugh a bit. Jellal didn't say anything but listened, watching Erza's and Natsu's reactions, not wanting a war to break loose. "Uhm, yeah . . ."

"Mm, did anything happen?"

"Nothing . . . we just hung out like usual, if that's what you meant."

"No I meant—"

"Erza, Lisanna is married." Lucy interrupted them before Erza went into further conclusions. Erza looked a bit surprise and looked at Natsu and all he did was nod. "Is she now?"

"Yeah, to some guy named Laxus."

"Laxus?" Erza said, sounding a bit surprised. The whole table shifted their attention on Erza, wondering if she knew him. "You know him, Erza?" Lucy asked, tilting her head to the side. "Yeah, Laxus and I went to the same marital art class." Lucy suddenly snorted and Natsu and Jellal turned towards her, their eyebrows raised. "You mean that blonde buff boy that always got knocked down by you, Erza?" Lucy laughed causing Natsu's eyes widen and gulp, Jellal laughing sheepish as he sweat-dropped. "Yeah, him."

"Oh! I knew that named sounded a bit familiar." Lucy laughed along with Erza, Natsu turning away from the girls. Better not mess with Erza, thought Natsu as he fidgeting in his seat. He knew Erza was a monster but he never knew Erza was that deadly.

"Anyways, I wanted to talk to you, Natsu." Erza said as she changed the subject, Natsu's head lifting up to look at her. "I wanted to know if you're serious about marry Lucy." Natsu gave Lucy a glance and she was also looking a bit tense, his gaze shifting back to the scarlet-woman. "Yes."

"You understand that if you break her heart I'm going to break every bone in your body." Natsu gulped and nodded, Erza nodding back. "Good, I assume you two settle everything yesterday?"

"Yes, we have." Lucy said as she blushed, remembering what Natsu did to get her forgiveness yesterday. She never knew there was such things called 'make-up sex.' "Good, now—" Erza looked side to side, a blush covering her cheeks as she leaned across the table towards Lucy. Lucy also leaned in, a smile on her lips as the 'cute' Erza was now appearing right before her eyes. "When's the wedding?"

Natsu swore Lucy had weird friends but he couldn't blame her—she was equally as weird.
