Curiosity Killed the Natsu

But satisfaction brought him back.

{I'm just the underdog who finally got the girl

and I am not afraid to tell it to the world}

"I love you,"

"I love you more."

"Oh no you don't!"

"Oh yes I do~"

"No you-mfft!"

Natsu watched, slightly disgusted, as the couple on the couch in front of him started to press their lips together and make weird noises. He looked over to Lucy skeptically, only to see the blonde's face his favorite color.

"Why so red?" He whispered, his voice holding the annoyance he felt. Lucy took a quick peek over to him, only for her face to turn an even deeper crimson. He sighed, wishing they had brought Erza along so she would break these two up.

"So anyway, about the job request?" He piped up, thoroughly fed up with their weird act. They continued on however, hands now roaming. He felt his eyes fall to the ground in sheer embarrassment, his face lighting up with a slight blush.

Why are they so weird? He thought, and at the word 'weird' he instantly looked over to his partner, who was stuttering under her breath and turning red like a fool.

A half smile dipped onto his lips at her silly behavior, his brain offering the word 'cute' to describe her.

"S-Sorry about that." The woman spoke up after pulling apart from her husband, her cheeks flushed from the activity.

Sorry I had to see that, He snorted, not voicing his thoughts for the fear of a Lucy kick. They situated themselves on the opposite couch once more, smoothing out their ruffled clothes.

"I bet these two were doing the exact same thing before they walked in!" The guy let out a boisterous laugh, his eyes crinkling with a smile.

"N-No we weren't!" Lucy instantly disagreed, her face red again. She looked away bashfully, muttering "we're just not like that..." before bowing in apology for yelling.

"Oh my mistake," the man said cheerfully, not bothered by Lucy's yelling.

"So what are we here for again?" Natsu leaned forward on his knees, a serious look falling onto his face.

"Right," the woman piped up, smiling lightly at the teenaged boy. "Well you see, there's this gang in town and they absolutely despise any affection!" The woman's mouth formed a frown, a sad look deepening in her eyes.

The man rubbed her back comfortingly, the look they shared saying they wanted to start pressing their lips together again. Natsu suppressed the urge to groan aloud.

"That's terrible!" Lucy added, a small pout forming on her lips. Natsu shifted uneasily, wanting to wrap an arm around her comfortingly. But once again, he was in fear of a Lucy kick.

"Tell me about it!" The lady sighed, nodding her head in agreement.

"Anyway, we just want you two to take them out so we can go out to eat tonight, it's a special occasion after all." He winked at his wife, his hand resting on her knee cap.

"It'd be my pleasure!" Lucy stood up, brown eyes blazing in determination. Natsu felt a lump grow in his throat, loving the way she looked.

"Yosh! I'm all fired up!" He jumped up also, pounding his fists together. Lucy giggled, brown eyes meeting his. He offered her a lopsided grin, and she quickly looked away.

"Not together, huh?" He heard the woman mutter under her breath with his dragon hearing. He turned sharply, noticing her secretive smile and soft giggle.

"Let's go Natsu! We have some butt to kick!" Lucy called, about to close the door. Natsu rushed after her, his grin growing at the thought of fighting.

"Come on!" He took her hand and raced off, his nose doing the job of tracking.

"Thanks so much!" The man shook hands with Natsu, who smiled.

"It was our pleasure! Hope you two have a good night!" Lucy winked, hugging the young woman. Natsu watched as all three gave a small laugh, as if they held an inside joke.

He shrugged it off, not really caring about it. He turned to Lucy, a wide smile breaking out on his face.

"You take good care of that girl, you hear?" The man's voice dragged Natsu's attention back to him.

Natsu set his jaw, his face a mask of seriousness. "Of course," he answered steadily, nodding his head. "I'll always protect my Luce," he looked over to the girl once more, a slow grin emerging on his lips.

The lady giggled when Lucy's face heated up, and he turned to watch them in curiosity. After a little more chatting Natsu and Lucy were finally able to leave, a sigh escaping from Natsu.

"That was so boring!" Natsu moaned, his head landing on Lucy's shoulder dramatically. She rolled her eyes at him, picking his head up and off of her.

"You got to fight?" She offered. He screwed his nose up in distaste, turning to look down toward her.

"It wasn't fun, what with them always sucking on each other." He huffed begrudgingly, and when he turned to look forward he saw about three other couples doing the same thing.

"Natsu it's their anniversary, of course they're going to kiss!" Lucy sighed dreamily, her eyes glazing over. Natsu rose an eyebrow at her, tilting his head.

"Kiss?" He tried the word out, rolling it around in his mouth. He turned to look at Lucy again, an idea ringing throughout Natsu's cranium.

"Yeah, it's what two people do with one another to show they really care for each other." Lucy sighed once more, a cute smile on her face. Natsu stared down at her for a few minutes, processing her words.

"Hey Lucy?" He spoke up after a few moments of silence. She hummed in response, turning her head so their eyes connected.

"Can I ask you a favor?" He said quietly, a lumping forming in his throat. His hands began to sweat and he could feel the heat rake the back of his neck.

"Sure," Lucy replied, almost curious as to what his request was.

"Can I...kiss you?" He asked quietly, staring her straight in the eyes. Lucy instantly lost balance on the cobblestoned road, slipping forward and nearly tumbling to the ground.

...That is, if Natsu hadn't caught her. He stared into her brown eyes seriously, and without her consent, his lips started lowering.

"Eek!" Lucy squeaked in embarrassment, ripping herself from his grip. She started running away, cheeks burning.

Natsu stared after her, eyebrows quirked in confusion.

"Are you sure you're okay Lucy?"

"O-O-Okay? I'm g-great! Never b-better!" Lucy's eyes continued raking the Guild suspiciously, her legs shaking terribly.

"You don't seem so relaxed..." Erza said uneasily, staring at her friend. Lucy looked like she had had one too many coffees, or she was the female counterpart of Natsu.

"What're you talking about? I'm perfectly calm. PERFECTLY CALM!" Her voice rose with hysterics, surprising the red head. The blonde's head whipped around as if she were waiting for an enemy to come bursting through the doors.

"I don't think you-"

"LUCY!"

The doors slammed open as Natsu raced in, a huge grin beaming on his face.

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise when they saw how Natsu was dressed.

He had on a tux with slacks and his pink hair spiky as always. In his hands were a bundle of flowers and a fish with a bow tie around it.

"Luce!" He yelled when he saw her, his eyes narrowing in determination. She let out a small yelp, racing far away when he pursued her.

"No Natsu!" She yelled behind her, eyes pleading for anyone to help. Natsu felt determination give him an extra boost, able to bring her into his arms and chest.

"Lucy," he breathed into her ear, sending a shiver down the blonde's back. She felt her face turn completely red at the touch between them, her thoughts torn.

"I wanted to give these to you," Natsu said, turning her around. Her eyes widened in awe when he handed her the beautiful bouquet, face heating up again when she noticed his fancy outfit.

"W-W-What's this for?" She asked in surprise, touched by it. She stared down at the fish, realizing who was really behind this.

"W-Well I was hoping you'd kiss me," he admitted, staring up at her with hopeful eyes.

How could he do that? He wasn't even blushing! It amazed her, really, how oblivious he was.
