"Rise and shine sleepy head."
A voice cooed loudly with the sun shining intensely through the cracks of the open blinds. Natsu grumbled opening his eyes slightly not wanting to be awaken. He vaguely saw yellow and blue through his partly opened eyes. He sat up in attempt to wake up while listening to someone ramble on and on about something he couldn't comprehend. It took him a few minutes to understand that he was awake and leaning against the headboard of his bed. In front of him sat the only girl he's ever allowed in his home with his blue cat curled comfortably into her lap.
"Lucy." Natsu mumbled rubbing his face heavily.
The said girl stopped talking and looked at the man with concern.
"Yes?"
Lucy waited for an answer but saw the man slump against the headboard still tired.
"Get me some coffee please." Were the only things he mumbled before closing his eyes.
Lucy stood up with Happy in her arms and walked down the stairs she already familiarized herself with earlier in the morning. She roamed into the kitchen to the coffee maker that she learned to use. She poured a cup of already made coffee from the coffee pot. When finished Lucy grabbed the cup and went back up stairs to see the pink hair man's chest rising slowly from his breathing.
"Here you go Natsu." Lucy said handing him his coffee.
The man opened his eyes lazily and grabbed the mug chugging half of it down before leaning back and sighing to himself.
"You look exhausted." The blonde mentioned looking down at the blue cat who moved his tail across her hand. "You look practically dead like a zombie."
"Well geez Luce, remind me to never let you sleep over again." Natsu gave her a weak grin that was enough to make Lucy giggle at how cute he looked half asleep.
"Whatever." She flashed him a smile and watched him drink more of his beverage before opening her mouth again. "What are you doing today?"
"I probably gotta go into work in a little while or I'll be attacked by my slave driver." The pink hair man groaned resting his cup on the side table. "What will you be doing today sweetheart?"
Lucy blushed at the name and looked down at the blue cat. "I don't have school today and I'm not scheduled to work. So I'm not really sure, I might stay here."
"Maybe I should stay home if you are." Natsu said in a husky tone. He crawled toward the blonde and let his hand lazily play with her long locks. He chuckled when he noticed the girl's face getting more red by the minute. "How about we make some plans."
Natsu removed himself from the girl and walked toward his closet picking out his work clothes while waiting for her to answer back.
"What do you mean make plans?" Lucy asked hesitantly unsure of his or her own words. She doesn't know how to describe their intimate close friendship at this point especially with the way she misses him at times apart.
"Let's make plans for when I come back from work. I can ensure you that I'll be back around noon so we can do whatever your heart desires." Natsu said with his clothes draped over his arm. He looked away from the closet and gave her a smirk that showed off his sharp canine tooth. "And maybe in return, you can let me take you on a romantic date."
Lucy blushed harder than before but nodded her head. "I'll agree this one time, got it Dragneel?"
The pinkette walked toward the blushing blonde, he bent down toward her and let his hand gaze her jaw tenderly. He smirked when he noticed her eyes freeze in surprise. "I'll have you agreeing a bunch more soon."
Natsu gave her a grin before retreating to the bathroom with his clothes in hand to get dressed.
Lucy's lips formed a straight line across her face. 'Who does he think he is! I have a right to go up and lecture him! But then again I can't control myself around him...'
The blonde groaned to herself and walked down the stairs cradling the blue cat in her arms who grown attached to her.
Lucy walked into the kitchen and poured herself another cup of coffee to drink while she waited for the pinkette. Half way through her coffee, Natsu came down the stairs stuffing items into his pants pockets.
"Have you feed Happy?" He asked looking over to the cat's bowls.
"No."
Natsu nodded his head, he went to his fridge and pulled out two fishes and a milk jug. He placed the fishes in the bowl and poured the milk before placing the jug back. The pair watched as the cat leaped from Lucy's arms to the ground, Happy rushed over to his bowl munching fast at the fish.
"There's more fish for Happy for lunch. Help yourself to anything in the house, my house is yours." Natsu said with a grin before rushing over to the front door.
"So you'll be back at noon?" Lucy asked following after the man who was ready to leave.
"Yes Lucy. I will." Natsu chuckled. "I'll text you on my way home alright?"
The blonde nodded her head. The man was about to leave out the door before he paused and turned back to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her to his body hugging her tightly.
"Just a little encouragement to pull me through work." Was all he said savoring her presence.
Lucy giggled at his actions as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Then let me give you something more."
Lucy stood on her toes and kissed the man softly on the cheek. She smiled when she pulled away and saw Natsu smiling like a fool.
