"Would you like to come inside Natsu?" Lucy asked the said man who was gripping the steering wheel hard.
"Uh yeah sure." The pinkette said putting the car in park and pulling his keys out. He pocketed his keys into his pocket and followed Lucy who began to walk the stairs of the apartment complex.
The pair stopped in front of a door to which Lucy unlocked with her keys. Natsu stepped into the apartment and looked around in awe of how small the room was but had the home like feeling.
The living room area had a small television, a two seater, and a book shelf covered with books. There were very few photos hung on the walls. The kitchen was no different containing a small bowl of front on the counter and kitchen related decoration. Everything was simple and ordinary.
Natsu walked over to the book shelf and picked up a thick book while Lucy walked off putting away her bag.
"Ya know Luce, I need to give you an intervention for this." The pinkette said tapping on the book when the girl reappeared at his side.
Lucy smacked him on the arm and took the book away placing it once again on the shelf. "Said the guy who feeds my addiction."
Natsu took his coat off and left it on the couch arm rest as he began to roam the room looking at the framed pictures.
"Would you like something to drink? I got water, juice or soda." Lucy called out walking to the kitchen.
"Some juice is alright with me." He answered back staring at the pictures.
The pictures had Lucy at different stages of her life. There was one of her in high school uniform hugging a girl who had long dark blonde hair and wore the identical uniform.
There was another of her, younger than the first picture, she was surrounded by a woman with blue hair dressed in a flowy blue dress, a pink haired girl in a maid outfit, a small chubby smiling woman and an old man with his white mustache shaped like crosses at the end.
His eyes then landed on a photo of a small chubby cheeked smiling Lucy sitting on the lap of a smiling dirty blonde man with a mustache and a beautiful blonde smiling woman hugging the two from behind.
"That's my mom, dad, and me."
He turned and saw Lucy standing with a cup in hand smiling sadly at the photo.
"You look real cute." He said taking the cup she handed him. "I wonder where those chubby cheeks went to."
"You jerk." She giggled hitting his shoulder.
Natsu smiled and threw his arm around her shoulders which made the blonde blush slightly.
"That's alright, when you get mad I can see those cheeks." He chuckled when he felt the girl slap his chest. "Awe Luce your so cruel!"
Lucy scoffed at his comment and took a seat on her couch. "Why did I let you in again idiot?"
"Cause you appreciate my presence." The pinkette claimed with a grin.
The blonde watched the young man roam around her living room examining the few photos she had hung and commenting about them. Once his examination was done he took a seat next to Lucy.
"Can we watch TV Lucy?" Natsu asked innocently eyeing the TV then gazing at the blonde.
"How about you go home and watch it there?" She said sweetly.
The pinkette narrowed his eyes at the girl before leaning in toward her which both surprised and shocked her. Lucy scooted away from him assuming he was reaching over her but Natsu pushed himself on top of her, straddled her hips and placed his hands on both sides of her head. The pinkette leaned his head closer to her face close enough so that Lucy could smell the fruit punch juice that she had given him. She went wide eyed feeling him against her in the most intimate way. He smirked at her face and moved up kissing her forehead before reaching over and grabbing something from behind her head. The blonde stared at him shock as he pulled back with a goofy smile.
"How about Luce lets me do what I want." He stated showing her the remote in his hands while getting comfortable on the couch.
After a moment of registering what happened in her head she furrowed her brows and smacked the man's leg with all her might.
"Natsu you idiot!" She yelled out tucking her legs under her to stare the man down.
"What did I do?" The pinkette cried out tearing his gaze from the tv to her. "What happen to being civil Luce?"
"That's long been thrown out the window when you tri-" Lucy began her rant but was cut off by an arm wrapping around her shoulders and pulling her to the blood red shirt that filled her nose with a powerful sent.
"Why don't you just calm down and enjoy our time together." He told her in his smooth voice.
Lucy looked up at the man, who had his eyes glued to whatever was playing on tv yet had his arm firmly secured on the blond. She didn't see him joking around in any way nor did he appear to have any other intentions. So she took his advice and got comfortable resting her head on his chest and extending her legs over his legs staring at the tv screen.
While Lucy stared at the screen, Natsu sat comfortably with his arm around the girl but still unbelievably nervous.
'I'm sorry Lisanna, but I think Lucy makes my heart tight and makes me so nervous to be around her.' The pinkette thought back at what the white hair girl told him earlier in the day. He looked down at the blonde who appeared to be comfortable and content in her current position in his arms. 'Is this how it feels to like someone? Or fall in love?'
