"NATSU!" Lucy screeched from the lower level of the house.
The pinkette bolted up from his bed and flew down the stairs to the kitchen where he left the blonde.
"Lucy what? What is it?" Natsu asked panicked his eyes scanning the nearby windows and doors of his house.
He looked back at the blonde who looked teary eyed. Her hair was tied up in two low pig tails with a few pieces of hair falling, she dressed herself in one of his t-shirts and a pair of her shorts since she was coming short on clothes she packed in a haste nights ago. Lucy looked down at her sock clad feet to the blue feline that tried eating pieces of cooked meat that fell.
"Lucy?" He asked again taking a step toward her.
When they got home from grocery shopping, Lucy insisted that he go relax while she prepared dinner. Natsu had been reluctant to do as he was told. He would have rather spent his time watching her and enjoying her company some more, but to please her he followed her instructions. It's been half an hour since then.
"I'm messing everything up." Lucy said chocking on a sob as she slid herself to the floor.
"Luce, if you need help ask me. I won't think of you any different." Natsu said kneeling next to the blonde picking up one of the cubed meats that fell to the floor. He sniffed a bit then bite into it.
"No Natsu don't eat that!" She squealed reaching over him to retrieve the food in his mouth and hand.
The pinkette wrapped his free arm around her waist. He stood up lifting the girl up with him then setting her down on the clear counter top. Natsu swallowed the piece in his mouth and examined the remaining some in his hand. "What were you trying to make?"
"This meat stew soup." Lucy mumbled staring at her lap in failure.
"The meat taste good Luce. Why you freaking out for?" He asked popping the remaining piece of meat in his mouth to prove him point. Natsu hugged the blonde's waist resting his head on her ample chest.
"I didn't wanna ruin anything." Was all Lucy said looking away with a pout on her lip and a blush growing on her cheeks.
"Babe, I love you. And that means everything about you." Natsu mumbled into her body. "Even when you snore and kick me in bed or have morning breath."
"Idiot!" Lucy hissed smacking the pinkette on the head.
Natsu seemed unfazed, he rose his head up showing her the grin spread out on his face. He pressed his warm palm to her cheek and stroked it lovingly. Lucy felt mesmerized by his touch, all her anger vanished in a flash. Her heart began to clench and her stomach dropped. She was putty in his hands.
"Lucy can I ask you something?"
"Of course." Lucy responded staring the man straight in the eyes as he let his hands wander to her waist and rest there.
"If I asked something of you, would you do it? Without second guessing yourself or questioning it."
"What do you mean?" The girl asked confused.
"Just awnser me. Would you do anything I ask?"
"Yeah, sure."
Natsu squeezed her sides a bit before he could continue to talk. "Move in with me."
"What-" She said staring at him in disbelief.
"Come live with me, I have plenty of room for you. You don't even have to pay rent or anything. So you don't have to work either." The pinkette man reasoned squeezing her side again like if he let go he'd loose her or he had the ability to remove any kind of doubt the girl had. "I can even pay for your schooling. I have plenty of money. Plenty to support us."
Lucy furrowed her brows to process everything, she was shocked to respond to his request and understand it fully.
