"Hey Lucy, what's up?" The young guild master asked in a flirtatious manner into the phone only to hear the said girl hmp in response.
"I'm trying to study, ever heard of that?" She grumbled in annoyance.
"Oh I have, but it's not my style ya know."
"Maybe you should try it. It can boost your intelligence."
"Ooh your a wild one Luce." The man chuckled. "I wonder how wild you are in the sheets."
He heard the girl cough continously before clearing her throat and practically growl into the phone.
"Shut your face Dragneel! Keep your thoughts to yourself."
"Whatever you say Lucy. But hey, do you wanna have some lunch tomorrow?"
"Huh?" The blonde asked confused.
"Do you, Lucy Heartfillia, wanna grab some lunch tomorrow with me, the dashing Dragneel?"
"Is this another ploy to get in my pants again idiot?"
"That was a one time accident - attempt!"
"Why are you calling it an attempt then?!"
"Because I was trying to touch your butt but not lift your dress up."
"Why do I even bother to speak with you."
"Because I grew on you babe." He said throwing his head back reclining in the chair he sat in. "Now about lunch?"
The other end was quiet for a few moments before the blonde sighed to herself and began to speak again. "I'm free around one-thirty tomorrow but other then that I have classes all afternoon."
"I'm good with whatever time you tell me as long as I get to spend it with you."
"N-natsu! Be quite!"
"Oo someone's acting more civil with me now." He teased only to receive more stuttering from the blonde on the phone.
"I-I have to go, I need t-to study for tomorrow."
"I'll text you where to met up unless you want me to pick you up?"
"S-sure, I'm cool w-with that. Bye."
And the line went dead after that adding more to Natsu's amusement.
He placed his cell phone down on his bed side table and leaned back against the headboard of his bed. The young man let out a sigh of content and smiled happily. He was never this happy before weather it was hanging out with his friends or when his father was still here. He just knew this feeling erupting in his chest was nice and pleasant and he didn't want it any other way. And the cause of it all was the blonde girl he got interested in one night that turned out to still play a role in his life for the next five months. Between the stress of the guild and his position as master nothing seem to knock him off when he spoke with her.
And he knew he grew on her too. They would text and call each other non stop to a point that it became natural. When she didn't work or didn't go to school they'd have some kind of plan in place like going to her favorite book store where Lucy would talk animatedly about her favorite books or a new book that caught her interest in which a fight would break out about Natsu buying said book for her.
Lucy would yell at him for something stupid, fight with him about something small, hit him upside the head for some comment, but usually she would laugh at all his jokes, smile constantly, and all of those little details add on to the things he likes about her that drew him clouser.
The pink haired man slid into the covers of his bed and got comfortable enough to sleep letting his mind drift toward the blonde.
The alarm blared much to the annoyance of the pink haired man who tried to shield his ears from the noise with his pillow.
"Go away." The man groaned trying to let sleep take over once again.
A blue cat clawed his way up onto the bed resting at the man's feet before waltzing up to the man's pillow covered head. The cat began to meow softly trying to get his owner's attention only to be pushed off repetitively by the man. Growing irritated by the lack of attention the blue cat raised a paw up, drew out his claws and swiftly set his claw on the man's back. The pink haired man jumped up quickly at the sudden pain and looked around the room for the perpetrator before narrowing his eyes at the cat.
"Happy." He muttered turning his alarm off. He looked at the time and sighed. "Breakfast time right?"
The cat stared up at his owner with his tail moving happily in response.
"Of course it is." Natsu said scratching his head before walking out his master bedroom and into the kitchen.
He opened his fridge and pulled out a package of fresh fishes and a cartoon of milk. He laid two fishes in a bowl with 'Happy' written in a child's handwritting and poured the milk in the bowl beside the first. Natsu watch the cat skip happily into the kitchen and proceed to devour his meal. Sighing to himself he turned his coffee maker on and walked back into his bedroom to the connected bathroom.
Natsu peel his shirt off and examined the fresh claw marks on his back along with a few other marks that were about a week old still in the process of healing the broken skin. "Stupid cat."
He undressed himself and got into the shower cleansing himself for the new day. Once finished he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked over to his sink to wash his teeth. He dried and brushed a comb thru his hair. The pink haired man then walked back into his bedroom and threw on his usual attire that consist of a black business suit with a blood red button up shirt that had the first three buttons undone. He put his wrist watch on, tugged his leather shoes on, grabbed his cell phone from the bed side table, and walked back out to the kitchen to find Happy done with his fishes now drinking his milk.
"Today sure is going to be a long one." Natsu said aloud to himself as he poured a cup of coffee. He drank the content down slowly not being bother by the heat of the liquid. Once finished he set the mug in the sink and check the time. "Great, it's going to be extra long now with ice princess on my tail." He grumbled walking toward the front door. He put his wallet into his pocket and held his keys in hand.
"Happy you be good now or no big fish later." Natsu called out hearing a meow in response. He then proceeded to walk out and lock the door behind him before walking down the path away from the house.
