Wash Your Friggin Clothes!

"Nastu!?" a certain blonde haired mage said, "what are you doing in my bed?!"

"Because I didn't want to sleep on my own, besides Happy is on a mission with Carla and Wendy, and I didn't want to be alone." The sleepy dragon slayer replied.

"But- But-But" Lucy's anger boiling up," There's dirt, grass, and Mavis knows what in my bed!!"

"Yah" he replied his eyes slowly falling *yawn, "so what? I just came home from a short mission, and it got a little messy." His eyes now closing.

"NATSU!!!" Lucy yelled right into his ear.

That woke him up, "Geez Luce, you don't need to be so loud."

"Get your butt out if my bed, and don't come back until you wash your friggin clothes!"

"But Luuuucccy" he whines like a child, "It will take such a long time, and I…" he goes silent.

"You what?" she asks looking at him waiting for him to continue.

"Idon'tknowhowtowashmyclothes" he mumbles

"What?! I couldn't here you, speak up Natsu" Lucy says now getting a little agitated.

"I said" he takes a deep breath, "I don't know…….howtowashmyclothes."his face turn red and he looks away.

Lucy, finally catching on says innocently, "I'm sorry Natsu I couldn't hear could you repeat that please?"

Natsu looking away did not see how much Lucy was enjoying this, he also didn't notice the devilish smirk that appeared on her face.

He takes another deep breath, "I said…..I don't know how to….. wash.my.clothes. Happy?" clearly this was hard for him to admit.

Lucy starts laughing like a crazy maniac, then stops when Natsu turns beet red, and is about to get off the bed, but before he does Lucy grabs his hand and he turns his head.

"I'm very happy Natsu!" Lucy says giving as to what Natsu would call the smile that shined like the rays of the sun, and it complemented her well. Even though he was embarrassed, Natsu couldn't help but be happy that he was the on who made her smile.

"So you really don't know how to wash your clothes?" she asks

He nods, "Dragons never really needed to learn how to wash their clothes."

"But, does that mean you've never washed your clothes? That sounds awful" her nose shriveling up at just the thought of that.

Natsu loving the sight of his Lucy like that, even it was just a simple face…..it made her look cute, not that she wasn't before but… ughhhh, how does she do this to him? He realized that Lucy was looking at him expectantly patiently waiting for an answer.

"No, I ask Mira to wash my clothes, she's the only that knows, please don't tell the guys I'll never hear the end of it."

Lucy giggles, and it makes his heart flutter, "I'll do even better than that" she says.

He lifts his eyebrow as if to ask a question.

"I'll teach you how to wash your clothes!" she says gingerly.

"You will!?"

"Sure!"

Seeing an excuse to hug her, he goes for it.

"Thank you Lucy!" then he scoops her up into a weird tight/gentle hug… it was weird, but Lucy liked it.

After the shock settled in a bit she replies, "You're welcome Natsu", and returns the hug, they stay like that for minutes holding each other tightly until Lucy says, "Now let's go wash your clothes!"

"Race you there!" Natsu says his eyes sparking with mischief.

"You're so on!" then she bolts out the door.

"Hey! You didn't say go" then he runs out the door.

He heard her call back, "You know I'm not one to follow the rules, catch me if you can!"

Oh he was so going to get her, didn't she know never to challenge a dragon? Especially when it comes to her…. His mate, dragons get really challenging when chasing their mates, oh she was so going to get it! (it meaning a huge hug)
