Chapter 15~ Natsu's saliva helps me?

Disclaimer~ I GlenCocoSavesTheDay does not own Fairy Tail, my ships would have sailed by now if I did. But they will, THEY WILL!

Gray's POV

"Juvia, we got mail." I called out. Juvia shot up from bed and ran towards me.

"Juvia never gets mail!" Juvia exclaimed. I smiled as I walked towards the table waiting for breakfast, It was Juvia's turn to cook. I really love when Juvia cooks, it's like eating heaven. Of course we switch off days to give each other breaks. But I can never really tell if Juvia likes my cooking or she likes the fact that I made it. But who cares! Juvia's cooking today!

"Who do you think it's from?" Juvia asked. I put a hand up to my chin and started to think.

"I really hope it's not another love letter from Lyon." I growled. I really hated when Lyon did that, he knew I was together with Juvia. So why? We were even going to get married soon! I might be a little young but I love Juvia, I might tease her a lot, but I really do.

"I told Lyon-sama he shouldn't do that anymore." Juvia called back. And there she goes with the sama. I remind her not to call him "Lyon-sama." but just "Lyon." Is that too much to ask? I think not. Juvia says it's force of habit, but it still annoys me.

"Well we'll never know until we open the letter." I sighed. If we kept talking about Lyon I think my mind was going to explode. Not that I hate Lyon, I forgave him. But why does he have to try and steal my wife! Can't he give me a break? Every time me and Juvia are alone, were not actually alone. Lyon stops by here at least four times a week. Ugh, brothers sure could be annoying.

I took the letter into my hands and looked over it. The hand writing reminded me of someone's I knew. I really couldn't remember, it gave me the chills thinking about it though. I ripped the letter open to find a nicely decorated piece of paper.

It read:

Gray Fullbuster and Juvia Lockster

You are invited to the annual dinner of Natsu Dragneel!

It is coming of age for this special lad!

You may bring food or drinks.

The dinner will began at 8pm.

Also you want to dress nice!

Hope to see you guys tonight!

From~ Natsu and Lucy

Natsu's coming of age? I have no idea why I find that funny. I truly thought this letter would be a wedding invitation.

"Yeah! We finally get something to do!" Juvia chimed. I let out a yelp. Juvia really did know how to scare you. I didn't even know she was looking over my shoulder. Juvia could be like a ninja sometimes.

"So what does Gray-sama plan to wear?" Juvia smiled. I started to think and decided I'll just wear what I'm wearing now.

"I'll wear this." I said while pointing down to my clothes. Juvia looked at me in shock and started to stutter.

"Y-You can't go wearing nothing!" Juvia yelped. I looked down to see myself naked. Oh come on! I really need to stop doing that!

"Opps I did it again." I laughed nervously. Juvia just smiled and started to hand me numerous amounts of clothes. Oh this was going to be fun.

Lucy's POV

I could feel myself really warm, it was such a nice feeling. Of course I knew it was Natsu who was radiating off the heat, but I don't care. I should be freaking out... right? But I was too warm and comfy to do that. I snuggled into Natsu some more trying to get more comfort. Natsu pulled tighter. I was having such a nice time until I smelt something. I sniffed some more and opened my eyes.

Do you even want to know what I saw? It was truly terrible. It was a plate of kale. A huge fricken plate of kale. I tried to scoot back but Natsu didn't let me. I wanted to know why Natsu wasn't smelling this horrid thing, wasn't his nose better than mine? I tried to shift my head back until I realized why Natsu couldn't smell the kale. Natsu had his nose in my hair, I instantly turned red.

This moment reminded me of that dream, except Natsu was a dragon right now. Snap out of it Lucy! You've got bigger problems right now. My enemy was staring me right in the face. I examined the kale and saw there was a card attached to it. Why in the world would anyone do this to me! Whoever it was, I was so going to get them back.

The card read:

I'm so sorry that I ate all your kale.

I really like kale so I ate yours.

I wish you could forgive me for last night,

So I got you some more kale!

I sprayed something on them so they smelled even stronger!

Enjoy your kale!

From Ichiya.

P.S. I will love Erza's perfume forever!

The next time I see Ichiya, I will destroy him! Erza might get to it before me though. I really need to get Natsu up. I think I'm going to get sick from the smell of this kale. Ichiya really was the kale beast.

"Natsu!" I shouted. Natsu just groaned. Oh my Mavis, what does it take to wake this guy up?

"Natsu the kale beast left something!" I called over my shoulder. I guess I shouted into his ear because he bolted straight up.

"What!" Natsu roared. As Natsu yelled he also gripped tighter to me. Oh my god I was going to die from Natsu's death grip.

"You're killing me!" I managed to squeak out. Natsu looked down at me and smiled. Oh that smile was the cutest thing in the world. You must be thinking, can dragons even smile? Well Natsu sure could. When he smiled, it reminded me of the dream. That goofy grin he wore, it was so cute. His smile almost made me forget about the kale, but the scent was overpowering. Natsu loosened his grip on me and then frowned.

"Lucy you need to bathe," Natsu stated. "You smell like kale." That's it, Ichiya is not the only one whose going to get punched.

"It's not me you dolt!" I hissed. I pointed towards the plate behind us. Natsu stared at the plate for awhile 'till his eye became huge. Natsu freaked out and rolled away, with me. Natsu crushed me a few times as he rolled. Why Natsu? Why?

"Why is there so much yelling?" Erza said while coming in with Jellal and Happy. Erza looked at us and smirked. Why was she smirking? Did she think it was funny? KALE IS NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT!

"Lucy likessss Natsu!" Happy sang. What is this crazy cat talking about now? I looked down to see I was on top of Natsu. Oh come on! Will someone give me a break? I looked down to Natsu to see him blushing. Why was this idiot blushing?! Are dragons even suppose to blush?

"It's not what it looks like!" I shouted. Erza and Happy just snickered.

"That's what they all say." Jellal chimed in. Jellal how could you! I thought Jellal was the only sane one!

"Says the guy with no eyebrows!" Happy smiled. Did Happy just defend me? I guess I won't be destroying this cat today.

"Happy how could you!" Jellal cried. And that's the Jellal I know. Take that Jellal! Erza started to comfort him and pat his back.

"It will be okay Jellal!" Erza exclaimed. Boy did Erza love Jellal, they were so cute together! Only if Natsu was... DON'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE LUCY! I really need to stop my mind from going to those type of places. If I let my mind wander who knows what would happen. We need to get back to the task at hand. Ichiya's supposed forgiveness present.

"Ichiya left us a little present." I pointed towards the enemy. Erza stopped patting Jellal's back once she heard his name.

"He did what?" Erza thundered. Me and Natsu flinched.

"He left some kale which I highly recommend you throw away." I said while holding my nose. I could smell it from here. Natsu didn't look any better, he had two hands on his snout.

"Why would he do such a thing." Natsu groaned. That's exactly what I've been asking myself this whole time. Erza walked over to the kale and picked up the card. After Erza had read over it she crumbled it into her hands. Erza picked up the plate of kale and went to the window. Was she going to throw it out? Erza did exactly what I thought. Erza threw with all her might and it shot out the window.

"Well now that's gone let's get down to business." Erza said while cracking her knuckles. What the heck was she talking about? Was she going to kill Ichiya?

"Let's get to setting up!" Erza smiled. Oh yes! I have to cook Natsu's meal! I decide what I was going to cook Natsu and his father. I decide to cook them spicy fish tacos! I know it sounds a bit weird but the chef at the castle made such good ones. The chef even taught me how to cook them, but they were extremely spicy. I have never tasted anything as spicy as that dish. Natsu did say he liked fish and spicy things.

"So Luce what are you cooking me and Igneel?" Natsu asked. Should I tell him now or should I let him wait it out? I think I should just tell him.

"Spicy fish taco's." I smiled. Natsu looked at me blankly.

"What's that?" Natsu asked. Of course he wouldn't know. I tried to explain to Natsu what they were but Natsu just got confused. I just gave up and walked towards the cupboards to get the ingredients.

"Whatever it is it sound delicious!" Natsu beamed. Now that's what I wanted to hear. I pulled out everything I needed for the dish. Salmon, check! Spices, check! and Happy pulling on my dress, check! I looked down to see Happy with the most cutest face I've ever seen, he could almost beat Natsu's. Wait, what did the cat want?

"Do you think I could have some too?" Happy asked. Happy has never looked so cute. Happy could really be evil but also adorable. I smiled at him and began to hug him.

"Of course you can!" I giggled. Happy looked at me like he hadn't expected that. Maybe I've been a little mean to Happy lately. I guess I need to be nicer, he just gets on my nerves so easily.

"You're really weird Lucy." Happy mumbled into my chest. And that's exactly what I'm talking about. See! I'm mean for a reason, not for the hell of it. I need to keep it in! Be nice Lucy, be nice.

"I know." I sighed. Happy then pinched me. I was being nice! Why would he pinch me! What did I do to deserve that?

"Are you real?" Happy asked. Of course, I guess I deserved that.

"Yes Happy, I'm real." I sighed. I put Happy down and started to cut the fish. Happy and Natsu looked at me with interest and watched me closely. Was there something I was doing wrong? I don't know why but, it was kind of creeping me out.

"What are you looking at?" I asked. Natsu and Happy snapped out of it and stared at me blankly.

"I just thought it was cool." Natsu said. Hmm, so they think I'm cool? Well that's new, I thought I was a weirdo to them. But I guess I was wrong.

"Well did you guys want to help make the flower tortilla?" I asked. Happy and Natsu looked at each other in thought. It took about a minute before they started to nod their heads uncontrollably.

"Okay guys you don't have to make your heads fall off." I giggled. They started to laugh along with me and prepared the tortilla. After we were done we put them in the oven and started to make the super spicy sauce.

"Okay this sauce is super spicy guys so be careful." I warned them. Natsu looked super excited, but Happy looked like he was going to die.

"Are you okay Happy?" I questioned him. Happy looked up to me like he was going to cry. What the heck was wrong? Did I say something wrong? I don't think I did... right?

"I don't like spicy things that much." Happy whined. Wow, was he really going to cry over that. Well I guess I shouldn't be too mean, I mean I don't like kale. I should take Happy's feelings into consideration.

"I'll leave the spice off of yours Happy." I smiled. Happy started to hug me.

"Thank you Lucy." Happy said. I felt really happy when he said that. It felt so endearing. Happy and I really don't have moments like this, so I'll savor it.

"You're welcome." I said while going back to the spice. I have to be very careful with this or else it might blow up right in my face, literally. I have to handle the peppers the most, they are so evil. One time when I was a kid and I was helping out the chef, I touched one of the peppers. It's not that the pepper killed me or anything. But I decided to rub my eye and let me tell you, it burned. I felt like my eyeball was going to burn up and I'd go blind.

The chef knew exactly what to do though. The chef went to the fridge and pulled out a jug of milk. I thought "What the heck was he going to do with milk?" The chef came rushing over to me and started to pour the whole jug onto my eyeball. The milk actually helped, I thought the chef was a lunatic, but he saved me. For future reference, do not touch your eye's while handling peppers, never.

"Okay Happy and Natsu please do not touch your eyes." I said while cutting the peppers. I should probably being doing this while wearing gloves. But I think I'm cable of doing it this time... I think.

"Why?" Natsu asked. I might as well tell him, I don't want him hurting himself.

"Because it will hurt really bad." I said as I started to mash the peppers together.

"Why would it hurt." Happy asked. Okay, I was getting a bit annoyed. I started to mash the peppers harder until something unexpected happened. I guess I was mashing them a bit too hard.

"Because it will HURT!" I yelped. When I went to mash the peppers once again, something went into my eye.

"It burns!" I yelled. Natsu and Happy started to freak out. Where the heck was Erza when I needed her? Oh yeah, she's doing decorations in the dining hall!

"What do I do?!" Natsu asked me as he shook my shoulders. I clutched my face trying to ease the pain but it hurt more.

"Get milk!" I yelled. Natsu looked like he was going to question me but I sent him a glare. Well the best glare I could do with one eye. Natsu went to the fridge and began looking in the fridge. Natsu looked back at me like he was terrified.

"We have no milk." Natsu gulped. I was doomed. Milk was the only thing I could think of that will help. I don't have any water in here because the well is outside. What was I going to do, wait it out. Nope, my eyeball was burning!

"Do something!" I began to cry. I really hated to cry, but it really hurt. I couldn't help but cry. Natsu looked over to me and panicked. Natsu came running over to me held me by the shoulders. What was he going to do? Natsu began to lick my entire face. Natsu's licked me before, but this felt extremely weird.

I felt the pain subsiding, he helped me? I was so confused. Was Natsu's salvia magic or something? I felt a bit icky when I felt my face, it was sticky. Natsu stared at me until I looked up to him. I really couldn't help but blush. He looked so worried, so scared.

"Are you better?" Natsu asked me.

"Yes." I stated. Natsu sighed as he pulled me into a hug.

"I was so worried." Natsu sighed into my hair. I guess I scared him with all that screaming. I probably looked like a wacko running around. But I was in so much pain, I should probably say thank you.

"Thank you so much Natsu." I smiled as I hugged him. Natsu started to chuckle as he pulled back, I kind of didn't want to stop hugging him though.

"That tasted really good though." Natsu chuckled. I turned super red at his comment. I could feel my whole body going stiff. Did he really just say that?

"What?!" Happy and I said in unison. Natsu looked at real confused but then realized what he said.

"I meant the sauce!" Natsu claimed. Me and Happy started to laugh. It was kind of funny if you think about it. Natsu would never mean something like that... right? What if Natsu had a side no one knew about? I really couldn't imagine Natsu like that though, it was just too weird.

"Sure you did." I laughed. Natsu and Happy snapped their heads towards me. Natsu looked even more embarrassed. I guess I shouldn't have said that, I'm such an idiot.

"What do you mean Lucy?" Happy asked. I started to back up from Happy and return to cooking, while being extra careful this time. I don't want to repeat last times actions.

"Nothing!" I laughed nervously. Happy looked at me then he turned to Natsu and whispered something. But I could still hear him, Happy was a terrible at whispering.

"Lucy's a pervert." Happy whispered. WHAT! How could that cat say that? That was so embarrassing.

"Yep." Natsu stated. Natsu, why?

"What?!" I cried. Natsu and Happy looked at me in shock.

"You heard?" Natsu asked.

"Of course I did!" I hissed.

"Well it's true." Happy sang. I was about to beat him up until I stopped myself. I need to be nice, there was just no need to fight him.

"Whatever." I huffed. I pulled the tortilla's out of the oven and began to put the fish and lettuce onto them. These dishes were really huge though, like half my body huge. I poured the sauce onto the them except one, and bam I'm done. It didn't take as much time as I thought it would.

"I'm done!" I smiled. Natsu and Happy came over to me and looked over my shoulder.

"They look so good." Natsu said while drooling. Natsu started to reach his claw out until I slapped it away.

"No eating until later." I smiled. Natsu pouted but still looked anxious.

"Okay guys! Let's put this by the rest of the food and see how Erza and Jellal are doing." I smiled. Natsu and Happy nodded as I put the food away. I thought Natsu would have left without me but he was there waiting for me. I felt my heart starting to thump.

"Come on Lucy." Natsu called to me. I rushed over to him and walked with him. This felt right, it really did. On to the dining room!

Authors Note~ Hello friends! I really didn't want to leave this off with a cliff hanger! I'm sorry if it seemed like it but I tried! So the whole pepper situation really happened before. My mother was cooking once and she yelled for me to help. I ran to her and found out she touched her eye. She started to freak out until I ran to the fridge to grab some milk, she looked at me like I was crazy. I started to pour some milk into her eye and it helped her. It was really funny to be honest, I could not stop laughing. So in the next chapter it will show Nalu of course, Jerza, Gruvia and Dragons! I was going to show the dragons in this chapter except I got off track. I hope you liked this chapter, I tried really hard! Oh, I almost forgot! The ship Gale will becoming very soon! Leave a review and tell me what you thought!

Until next time
