"Luce, are you done yet?" Natsu shouted from her bedroom, waiting for the blonde who was in the shower getting ready. He was sitting on her chair she uses while she writes on her desk, his legs hanging from the back while his back was leaned against her desk, growing pretty impatient. He didn't want to go visit his dad and introduce Lucy but he needed to go through transportation so he wanted to go through it faster. And it was almost noon which means more people will be there and it's going to be crowded. He didn't know why but riding a train made him sicker than riding anything else—at least he had Lucy.

"Almost done, Natsu! I want to look good for your father!" Lucy called out from her bathroom earning a scowl from Natsu. "You always look good, what's the point on making yourself prettier?" Natsu grumbled from his spot he knew she heard when he heard something clattering from the bathroom. "Why doll up for my dad if you don't do it for me?"

"I do. When we go out and I occasionally do it when I go to classes,"

"Really? I never notice because you're always so stunning,"

"S—shut up." He heard her stutter and he smirked, imagining her flushed face. She was just too adorable.

He pushed himself up so his legs fell on the floor, keeping his feet by the sides of the chair to lean against the back of the chair. "Lu—"Natsu started, wondering when she was going to come out but when he saw his girlfriend's scowling face emerging from the bathroom he stopped. He looked at her face to see it was covered in a bit of make-up, her lower ends of her golden haired curled as she looked refreshed. His eyes trailed down as he noticed she was wearing those pink color heart earrings she always wore, a silver band holding up some key that was around her neck. Then his onyx eyes trailed down and he noticed she was in her bra and panties, a smirk making its way to his lips. "Planning on wearing that to my dad's?"

Lucy sputtered her face turning into a dark shade of red. "N—no!"

"It looks nice though, maybe you can—"

"Hey! No dirty thoughts, young man!" Lucy held her hand up, one arm covering her bosoms as she shot him a glare. Natsu carelessly shrugged, a grin making its way up to his mouth to show his fangs. He watched as his fiancée walked towards her small closet by her bed, his thoughts never leaving that thing. How does everything she own fit in that small little closet? He's seen all the different types of clothes Lucy wore and had, and somehow, she manages to shove everything inside that thing in a neat manner. "Hmm, shall I wear a dress?"

"Sure, but it's a bit cold so you better wear something warm on top."

"I will . . . what about pants?"

"I don't care what you wear—you look in everything."

"You can't say that, I need a real opinion. Like if this makes me look fat or my ass look huge—you know?" Lucy planted her hand on her hip as she held a dress in her hands, earning a confused look from Natsu. "Luce, you're not fat. I've seen you inside and out, you have absolutely no fat on your body. Well, except for your boobs and ass because they're pretty big—"

"Are you calling my ass fat?" Lucy asked, looking a bit offended. Natsu stood up, sighing. "I'm saying, it's not small, flat, and not one of those unattractive asses, you know?" Natsu walked on over to her, standing in front of her to stand oh so tall. Lucy looked up at him, the scowl still on her face.

"Don't worry, guys like butts like yours," Natsu grinned his toothy grin again, his hand connecting with her bottom for a moment to make a slap sound, a squeal escaping her lips soon after. "Natsu!" Lucy shouted throwing her fist in the air as one held her bottom, a snickering college student walking away. He turned around as he stood in front of her bed, flopping down on it. He spread his arms wide and felt the softness of her blankets, a content smile on his lips. "Ah, I really love this bed."

"I know you do,"

"It smells like you."

"Y—you can actually smell me?"

"Yeah, I have a sensitive nose." Natsu said rolling over to allow his head to bury in her pillow. He inhaled and almost fainted over the wonderful smell that filled his nostrils. "Mm, I can't wait till we get married. Then I can sleep in this bed as much as I want with the woman I love." Natsu murmured to himself, his head snuggling against the pink bed. Lucy sighed and shook her head, ignored her weird boyfriend, her eyes still wondering around her closet to find something to wear. "Just wear some jeans; they make your ass look yummy."

"Can you not be perverted for like a second?"

"I'm telling the truth!" Natsu shouted from the bed, Lucy shaking her head side to side. "I don't want to wear pants, it makes me look . . . I don't know, unsophisticated? I'm going to go meet your father, not go to the mall or something."

"My dad doesn't care about that—wear whatever you like. Even if you wear sweatpants and go meet him he won't mind one bit."

"But I do so help me find something to wear!"

"I said wear jeans," Lucy groaned and stomped her foot on the ground, frustrated. "If not jeans just wear a dress." Lucy pouted as she looked through her closet full of dresses and blouses. It's pretty cold outside and she didn't want her legs turning red due to the coldness but she didn't want to wear jeans. "How about you wear those yoga-pants?" Natsu asked, his eyes twinkling as he licked his lips, earning a scowl from Lucy. "Shut it, pervert."

"I was just trying to help." Natsu said as he raised his hands up in reasoning. Lucy sighed and tapped her chin with her pointer finger, looking through the clothes once more before she found a blue blouse like button down t-shirt in-between two dresses. She reached for it and brought it out, looking at the shirt, a consideration being applied to the cute blue top. "I like that!"

"Do you think I can wear jeans with this?"

"Whatever is fine, it's getting late!" Natsu groaned, rolling around on her bed as Lucy huffed, deciding she will wear this. She reached in her closet to find a tank-top to wear underneath it. She tosses the clothes on her bed, shooting a glare at Natsu before he touched the clothes. "Do not touch them. I want them to be perfect,"

"Geez, why so worked up for?" Natsu backed away from the clothes Lucy tossed on the bed, watching her look for some pants now. He watched as she tossed a thin brown belt next to him, soon a black purse being thrown at him. Lucy rummaged through her drawer to find some pants and when she finally found a pair of white jeans she beamed, walking over to Natsu to hand him the pants. She then went back to her closet, crouching down to find the perfect heels that'll go with the outfit. Lucy made a gasp as she found the heels that'll match the outfit, pulling out heels that had a pert bow at the toe, buttons all along the t-strap to the delicate silver buckle at the heel making it look perfect.

"Do you think these are good?"

"They're pretty."

"Yes!" Lucy cheered, standing up to go to Natsu. She grabbed the tank top and pulled it over her head, putting it on her upper body part to start putting on her other stuff. She grabbed her pants and pulled it on; jumping to make sure it fit perfectly. Lucy grabbed the belt and wrapped it around her waists, Natsu watching as she tucked in the black tank top inside her pants, grabbing her blue button down to put her arms through the sleeves, eventually straightening it to make it unwrinkled. She stood in front of her mirror, a smile on her lips as she started to button up her buttons, making its way to the top to leave one open, tucking the ends inside her pants. She then went looking for her heels, strapping them on her tiny feet as she stood up, balancing herself before she grabbed the purse she dug out moments ago, smiling at her boyfriend who watched her with amazement. "You look beautiful,"

"Thank you. Ready to go now?"

"Of course I am I never thought you'll ask!" He stood up, grinning at her. He leaned down to give her cheek a peck, his hand grabbing her right hand. He pulled her out of her bedroom, letting her hand go to allow her to find her other purse to dump some things inside her other one. He watched as Lucy ran around her dorm, looking for certain things and or looking at her reflection in the mirror.

Once she was done, the couple was out and walking to the train station.

With every step Lucy made the sound of her heels clicking against the sidewalk matched the ones Natsu made by humming some tune while swinging Lucy's hand back and forth. He was happy but then again, a bit nervous. He didn't want his idiot father messing everything up for him but he was happy Lucy finally got to meet the most important person in his life—his father. He's met Lucy's dad and he didn't like him nor did Lucy did so he wanted to show her that not all father's are like that, he wanted to let Lucy know he was there for him and Igneel was also there for her.

"Hey Natsu?" Natsu looked over at Lucy, raising an eyebrow at her direction. "Yeah?"

"Is your father . . . nice?"

"Yeah, he's nice. But sometimes he can be real mean," Natsu said while slowing his pace down so he walked side-by-side along with her. Lucy looked like she was in deep thought and Natsu couldn't help but stare at her.

She was just too cute when she looked like that.

"Do you—do you think he'll accept me?" Natsu stared at her, sensing her uneasiness. He sighed and a small smile came to his lips, his hand flying up to cover his eyes. "Luce, of course he'll accept you."

"But what if he doesn't? What if he thinks I'm not good for you? What if he doesn't think I'm right material for you and he makes up break up and then we'll have to go separate ways and I'll be so depressed all I'll do is cry and think about you and I don't think I can deal with another heartbreak because I love yo—"Natsu grabbed her head in his hands and smashed his lips against her, silencing the rambling girl. Once he pulled away he was laughing at her, Lucy blushing and scowling at him. "You're rambling again, Luce."

"I—I'm just nervous . . ."

"About what? What's so scary about meeting my father?"

"A lot of things . . . I'm not good with . . . dads. And you never know what his expectations are and . . ." Lucy trailed off, looking down on the floor at their feet. Natsu sighed again and ran a hand through his head, looking at the top of her golden head.

"Lucy, don't worry about him. I honestly don't care if he doesn't like you, I will marry you." Lucy looked up at him, their eyes locking. "I don't care what anybody says . . . I will be your husband, I will be the father of our children, and I will be yours no matter what somebody says. So . . . don't worry, alright?" Natsu cupped her face with his hands, smiling tentatively at her. Lucy stared up at him, hot tears prickling in the corner of her eyes as she felt them slowly sliding down her cheeks. She lunged towards him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders to cry into his shoulder.

"I love you," Lucy mumbled, hot tears pouring down her face. Natsu hugged her tight and buried his face in the crook of her neck, listening to her cries. "I love you too."

Moments later they pulled away and Natsu kissed her cheeks, grinning cheekily. "Good job, you messed up your make-up." Lucy gasped as her hands flew up to her face, patting her moist cheeks. "Do I look okay?"

"No. You look beautiful," Natsu said as he brushed his thumbs below her eyes, wiping the mascara that had run just a bit. He showed her his thumb and she gasped, frowning. "Damn you, Dragneel! You made my mascara run!"

"Hey, it wasn't my fault."

"You're just too heart-warming sometimes."

"Not my fault," Natsu leaned in to kiss her temple, grabbing her hand to drag her along once more.

The two had made it to the train station to go buy a ticket, Lucy waiting in the waiting area once more as she watched families and friends conversant. She was still feeling very uneasy inside her but she needed to man up and meet Natsu's father. He couldn't be that bad, right? If it was Natsu's father we're talking about that means he must be one easy-going guy. He must have the patience since he raised Natsu.

Lucy had a small smile on her lips as she saw kids running around and people interacting with each other. She really had missed all this.

Suddenly as Lucy was sitting and watching people talk, a pink-haired girl ran to Lucy, crying. "Mama! I found you!" Lucy looked dumbfounded as the small girl hugged her around the waists, crying loudly. Lucy's arms immediately went around the small girl, rubbing her back. "Mama—I thought I lost you!" She cried, pulling away to look up at Lucy.

Disappointment crossed her features as she saw that Lucy wasn't her mother and she started to cry harder now. Lucy frowned as she crouched down to the crying girl, patting her hand on top of her small pink head. "Hey, what's your name?"

"Na—Natsumi . . ." She said making Lucy think that sounded awfully familiar to Natsu. She now wondered where he is. "Natsumi. What a pretty name you have," Lucy smiled, patting her head. "Now, don't cry. You'll ruin your beautiful face!" Lucy said, trying to cheer her up since whenever Natsu said that it made her laugh and feel a bit better. Weird enough, the small girl laughed, whipping the remaining tears she had. "That's better, not come on, I'll help you look for your mama, how about it?"

"T—thank you, miss!"

"You're welcome, now come on." Lucy stood up, extending her hand out for the child to hold her hand. She reached for it and held it, beautiful green eyes staring right into Lucy brown ones.

"Now, where was the last place you saw your mother, Natsumi?"

"B—by the ticket booth."

"Alright, let's go look for her!" Lucy smiled, escorting the little girl to the ticket booth. She sighed as she was going to be the one lost after she's found her mother. Natsu must be worried sick. Once they got there a huge line was formed, making it a bit hard to find somebody. Lucy started to dodge people, saying her excuse me and pushing past people with the pink-haired girl in her arms. As soon as she made it to the front and saw that nobody looked like the woman Natsumi had described, she started to cry again. "M—mama!"

"Hey, don't cry! We'll find her; I bet your mama is looking for you right now."

"W—what if I don't mind my mama again?"

"You'll find her; I'll definitely help you find her!" Lucy looked around the place, looking for a blonde haired woman, spinning around in circles and pushing past people in the train station, her hope dropping little by little.

When it was their second time going around the place Lucy found the person she was looking for, her face beaming. Natsu might help and she didn't want to lose him like Natsumi lost her mother. She ran on over to Natsu, calling his name. His eyes shifted from the woman he was talking to, to Lucy who was running on over to her with a small girl in her arms. Natsu's whole face lit up as the woman also turned around, tears in her eyes.

When she saw Lucy run to them with Natsumi in her arms the woman's eyes widen. "Natsumi!"

"Mama!" Natsumi shouted reaching for her mother as her mother also reached for her. The blonde woman held her daughter in her arms, crying while scolding her at the same time. "Natsu," Lucy walked towards Natsu, putting a hand on his shoulder making him grin and embrace her. "I thought I lost you," Natsu murmured as the woman said it to her daughter. "I was helping Natsumi . . . and I see that you found her mother." Lucy pulled away, smiling at him to smile at the two who were crying and hugging each other.

When they eventually cooled down they faced Lucy, Natsumi grinning at Lucy. "Thank you miss, what might your name be?" She asked, dark brown eyes staring right at Lucy's. Lucy stared at her, amazed on how much this woman looked like her. She had blonde hair like hers, deep brown eyes, but the only difference was she was a bit shorter and she was older. "I'm Lucy, pleasure to meet you."

"Lucy . . . thank you so much. My name is Lacy—thank you so much for helping me find my daughter."

"Oh, she came running to me first, Lacy-San. Thank you for finding my fiancé," Lucy laughed, waving her hands in front of her as Natsu grinned, holding Lucy tight in his embrace. Lacy looked at them, wide brown eyes shining brightly. "You fiancé was so worried and he's mistaken me as you but he caught on real fast when he looked at me."

"Yes, your daughter also said I look like you a lot."

"You two do, you know." Natsu interrupted making them look at him. "Lacy is just a bit older and shorter." Lucy laughed a bit and smiled at the woman who smiled back, bowing slightly. "Thank you, Lucy. Natsu,"

"Thank you miss!"

"You're welcome, Natsumi! Next time, don't get lost, alright?"

"Yes ma'am!" She grinned and Lucy smiled, her right arm being pulled. "Come on, Luce. Our train is about to go."

"Ah—right. Nice meeting you, have a nice day!" Lucy shouted, waving as she followed Natsu.

The last thing she saw was Natsumi grinning and waving and Lacy walking away. Maybe she sort of looked like her, just maybe. It was odd seeing somebody who looked just like her and Lucy had a weird feeling inside her. Will she look like that in a couple of years? Would she have a daughter that looks like Natsumi instead with brown or black eyes?

"Hey, didn't you think they kind of look like us?" Natsu asked interrupting Lucy's train of thoughts. Lucy looked at Natsu and saw that he also looked a bit freaked out, seeing the faces of the woman and child. "Yeah, they did."

"I was a bit shocked that it wasn't you but that other lady when I stopped her."

"Yeah, and when I saw Natsumi she reminded me a lot of you." Natsu and Lucy stared at each other for a while, Natsu standing up to sit next to Lucy. Lucy stared at him bewilderment, seeing how he grabbed her hand and laced his fingers with hers. "Did you take a good look at them both?"

"Mhm,"

"Good because one day our daughter will look somewhat like her and you'll be looking like her—just more beautiful," Natsu leaned in to kiss her temple, a blush coating Lucy's cheeks. She looked at Natsu and smiled at him, Natsu returning the gesture. "Thanks." Natsu nodded and leaned in for a kiss but when suddenly the train jerked, Natsu immediately turned pale and slumped. Lucy looked at him with wide eyes, surprised.

She had forgotten his motion sickness.

Lucy stared at him for a while before laughing; Natsu's cursing being heard under his breath. Lucy squeezed Natsu's hand which was still holding onto hers, her arms wrapping around him for a bit to help him sit up. Natsu sat up and looked at Lucy, looking as if he was going to throw up any second. A reassuring squeeze to the hand and a kiss to the cheek calmed Natsu and down soon, that was all he was asking for the whole train ride.

Weird enough—Lucy was his medicine.

Getting off the train and being in his hometown felt real nostalgic to Natsu as he held Lucy's hand and walked down the street. He felt a bit weird as he remembered everything that was around him, remembering how he used to play around that tree over there of that playground over by the small stream that used to be there. Now it was all dried up and made into a store.

He felt Lucy give his hand a squeeze, his eyes finding its way to Lucy's. She looked a bit worried but when he grinned at her she seemed to brighten up a bit. "You don't live as far away from the University."

"Yeah, I don't." Natsu smiled as he looked up at the sky, remembering how he used to hold his father's hand and walk down the street with him like this. Natsu pointed to a building as he grinned, looking at Lucy. "That's where Lisanna lived,"

"Pretty house,"

"Yep. We used to play there all the time—Mirajane making us all sorts of foods."

"It must have been great when you were a kid," Lucy flashed him a smile and Natsu frowned, taking that the wrong way. He stood in front of her and cupped her face in his hands, leaning in to press his forehead against hers. "I promise I'll bring your childhood back and make it the best one yet." Lucy looked him in the eyes and laughed a bit, finding it a bit weird that Natsu was determined to make her life better. She grabbed his face and smiled widely, looking at his boyish face. "Natsu, ever since I've met you, you changed my life completely. I felt like you were there with me the whole time so, don't worry. I'm happy right now,"

"I'll make you happier."

"What will make me happier is starting a life with you,"

"Then we shall marry as soon as possible and then we can blonde and pink babies," Natsu grinned as Lucy laughed once more, leaning into kiss his lips before pulling away. She grabbed his hand and pulled him along, her smile never faltering. "Come on, I'm suddenly excited to meet your father."

"Alright—but let me warn you," Lucy raised a brow at him. "Don't believe in anything he says."

"Why? Afraid he might embarrass you?" Natsu narrowed his eyes and said nothing earning another laugh. She was now excited to go meet Natsu's father to see what kind of person he was. Maybe he was the kind that teases their kids a lot? She hopes his father shows her his baby pictures.

As they were walking down the street Natsu stopped in front of a pale house with a red roof, making Lucy look at it in awe. It wasn't as big as the one she lived in but it looked very comfortable and heart-warming. The colors and the structure made it look very friendly and home-like—something Lucy always loved. She looked at Natsu who was fidgeting in place, looking like he was debating whether or not if he should go to his house or walk away but either way, he knew he had to deal with this sooner or later.

And he decided he'll do it now.

He took a deep breath in as he grabbed Lucy and walked on over towards the house, pushing the short white fences open to walk up the stairs to the house. They now stood in front of the dark brown door, Natsu's hand turning sweaty all of a sudden. "Gross Natsu, just knock!" Lucy laughed earning a glare from Natsu, his hand lifting to knock on the door.

But as soon as his knuckles were centimeters away from the door, the door swung open startling the two college students.

Lucy looked at the man who had glasses on his face, his red spiky hair looking somewhat similar to Natsu along with his dark black eyes, his figure looking muscular and tall for a man old of age.

Seeing that this man was this gorgeous she wonders how his late wife would have looked like.

Lucy put on her best smile as she smiled at the man who raised his brow at Lucy, his eyes darting back between Natsu and Lucy. "Erm, hi." Natsu waved awkwardly towards his father who gave him a nod of acknowledgement. "Come on," Igneel said as he opened the door wider, stepping back to allow the two in. Lucy tugged on Natsu's arm to make him move his frozen legs, Natsu taking in a deep breath and muttering a curse word. Once they entered Igneel shut the door, Natsu taking his shoes off along with Lucy. "Welcome home,"

"Thanks,"

"Would you two like something to eat? Drink?"

"Ah, water would be nice, Mr. Dragneel."

"Call me Igneel," The red-haired man flashed a heart-warming smile before leaving to go get some drinks for his guests. Once he disappeared Natsu brought her over to the living room, his whole body tense. Lucy felt him tense and put a hand on his shoulder, making him look at the blonde. "Don't worry—what are you so worried about?"

"I—I don't know, I never introduce anyone to my dad before." Natsu laughed weakly causing Lucy to smile, kissing his cheek. "He looks like a nice man—and good-looking too," Lucy muttered the last part, Natsu's lips curving up a bit. "Are you checking my dad out?"

"Well, I would say checking your dad out . . ."

"You think he's hot."

"He looks good-looking, alright?"

"But you think he's hot." Lucy flushed and scowled at him, Natsu's lively self coming back. He hugged her and chuckled as he felt her whine, his arms encircling around her back. "Doesn't he look like me?"

"A lot, actually."

"Yeah, but I'm sexier and taller than him." Natsu smirked, looking real proud. Lucy just rolled her eyes and pushed him away, looking at the doorway to see if Igneel was back but he wasn't. "Not to be rude or anything but . . . how old is he?"

"He's only 38." Lucy nodded, her eyebrows raised up high. Igneel looked pretty young also, tall and built, good-looking; he must have been a popular boy during his school years.

"Now, don't fall in love with my dad, alright?"

"Like I'll do that," Lucy scoffed; shaking her head back and forth but Natsu just rolled his eyes. He held her hand in his and smiled as he looked up, Lucy turning to notice that Igneel was standing by the doorway, holding a tray of cups. Lucy stood up as he walked on over, Lucy flushing a bit. Did he hear what Lucy was saying about him?

"Stop eavesdropping, old man." Natsu playful scolded as he grabbed the red-cup and taking a sip of the water Igneel had put in. Igneel smirked at his son as he grabbed the brown mug, sitting down in front of the couple. "I couldn't help but listen to your fiancée complimenting my looks." Lucy flushed even more as she looked down at the floor, Natsu's laugh being echoed in the house. "Maybe because I look like you,"

"Maybe so," Igneel flashed a toothy grin which Lucy also noticed the two had in common. His gaze then shifted to Lucy, his warm smile never leaving his handsome face. "So, Lucy,"

"Yes sir?"

"I've heard you want to marry my idiot son,"

"Hey—!"

"Yes sir." Lucy laughed as she squeezed his hand, calming the guy next to him down. Natsu huffed as he leaned against the couch, playing with her tiny hand with his large ones. "Why?" Igneel asked, laughing a bit causing Natsu to curse and Lucy to giggle once again. "He's . . . different from the others and he brings me the happiness I've always wanted." Igneel nodded as he sipped his coffee, taking his glasses off to set on the coffee table in front of them.

And Lucy had to admit, he looked even better without his glasses.

"Mr. Dragneel—"

"Igneel." Igneel corrected causing Lucy to grimace. "I mean . . .Igneel, if I could ask . . . can I have your blessing to marry your son?"

"Sure, do whatever you like with him. Just don't return him once you buy him," Igneel let out a hearty laugh causing Natsu to curse out loud and Lucy laugh along with him. Igneel looked at the couple and grinned widely, noticing Natsu looked a bit happier than the last time he had seen him. And he looked much manlier now—maybe even fatherly.

Igneel sighed and set his coffee cup down, leaning over to let out a soft laugh, shaking his head back and forth. Natsu and Lucy looked at him, wondering what he was laughing about. "Natsu, you're growing up too fast. I remember it like yesterday when you ran around the house butt-naked wearing a cape shouting about how you're superman." Natsu gasped and covered Lucy's ears, blushing furiously as Lucy burst out laughing, the pink-haired male scowling at his father who shook his head back and forth while laughing. "You grew up too much . . . too fast." Igneel muttered, looking at the ground.

"Well, we all need to grow up sooner or later . . ." Natsu muttered. "You're right,"

"I know." Igneel looked up and smiled sadly at his son, whose eyes widen, seeing the tears lingering in the corner of his eyes. Lucy stared at Igneel who whipped the tears away from his eyes, sighing again. "Lucy, please, take care of this idiot,"

"Y—Yes sir . . ."

"And stop being so formal with me!" Igneel scolded causing Lucy to smile sheepish and nod in his direction. Natsu was being awfully quiet and it worried Lucy a bit, seeing that he was staring at his father with wide, sad eyes. "Natsu, you're a man now—take care of Lucy and you better not make her cry."

"O—of course . . ."

"Good . . . because, without her you'll be nothing but an empty shell." Igneel smiled sadly at his son whose expression soften, his hands tightening around Lucy's. "Love her till your last breath, son."

"I will . . ."

"Good." Igneel stood up, letting out a deep breath. He flashed Natsu and Lucy a grin, the two returning the gesture. "Are you two staying over to dinner or are you two going on a date?" Igneel asked, cocking his head to the side. Lucy and Natsu exchanged glances, wondering about the same thing. "I think—"

"Igneel, you should come join us for dinner and spend the day together with us." Lucy quickly said before Natsu said something. Igneel looked a bit taken back along with Natsu; the two Dragneel's staring right at Lucy who smiled sweetly. "I mean—if it isn't too bothersome to you . . ." Lucy muttered, blushing once more. Igneel stared at Lucy for a while, remembering how his wife used to act like Lucy, a soft smile curling up on his face. "I would love to."

Lucy's face brightened up as she grinned, the man grinning back. "Just let me get ready and we'll head out."

"Yes sir," Lucy said before the man left to go change, Natsu grabbing Lucy to shake her back and forth. "Are you crazy? Are you trying to embarrass me?"

"N—no?"

"Then why invite my father?"

"Natsu Dragneel, you need to be nice to your one and only father." Lucy scolded causing Natsu to roll his eyes. "I am but I want to spend time with you."

"And you'll spend it with me. And your father who you haven't seen since last year." Lucy flashed a grin as she stood up, Natsu groaning as he slumped in his seat. "Come on, let's go." Lucy held her hands out in front of him, telling him to grab on so she could pull him up. Natsu grabbed her hands but instead of Lucy yanking him up Natsu yanked her down, a sound of surprise escaping her lips as she toppled over the guy. "Hmm, I rather do this," Natsu said as he snuggled his head in the crook of Lucy's neck, the blonde flushing a deep red. "H—hey—!"

"You smell so nice,"

"S—stop, what if your father sees?"

"Who cares?"

"I care!" Lucy squeaked as she felt Natsu's arms around her back, his lips on her shoulder. "I don't," She heard him mutter and she sighed, wondering what she was going to do with this sex-crazed idiot. "How about we ditch my dad and get to the nearest hotel and make you scream my name?" Natsu purred in Lucy's ear causing her to shiver and blush hundreds of red, pushing the male away. "N—Natsu..!"

"Yeah, just like that, but louder so the whole world can hear you."

"Ahem," Lucy and Natsu both stopped doing whatever they were doing to look at the older man who stood in the doorway, a fist over his mouth while his eyebrow was raised. "If you two are done talking dirty—I would like to head out."

"Tch,"

"S—sorry!" Lucy squeaked, jumping off Natsu's lap to flush a deep kind of red. She looked at the floor as she heard Igneel's deep chuckling and the clicking of Natsu's tongue the shifting of the couch moving.

Before any words were exchanged Lucy excused herself as she ran out of the room to go put on her shoes, too embarrassed to look at Natsu or his father.

Once she was out, Igneel looked at Natsu who raised a brow at his direction, the college student walking over to Igneel. "You've got a keeper there,"

"I know I do." Natsu smirked before the two Dragneel's headed out.
