A/N: Hey guys! I'm really sorry if this update took too long. It's just that I have a lot of stuff going on, and it's becoming a pain. It's so stressful! My hair is legit turning white! And I don't think that's normal for a 15 year old boy XD

But don't worry! I'll do something special for you all, to make up for this late update! ^.^

(Natsu's pov)

"How did you even destroy the printer?!", Mr. Heartfilia yelled, as I tried my best to stop the machine from exploding.

"I don't know! These things are hard to use!", I growled back making Mr. Heartfilia give me a stern but really angry look.

"In my office now!", Mr. Heartfilia shouted as he pointed to the gigantic office on the other side of the room.

'Oh no this is not going to end well for me!'

"What if I fix the printer, would that-"

"OFFICE! NOW!", his voice boomed throughout the office scaring everyone of the workers there.

Sigh

'I guess I have no choice…'

…

Mr. Heartfilia gave me a questioning look once we were seated in his office. He wouldn't take his eyes off of me, which was really starting to make me feel paranoid.

It seemed as if he was trying to make the atmosphere in the room even more tense and frightening.

And there was no way in hell I was going to let him do that.

"If you're going to ask me out on a date you better hurry up, because I don't have all day", I whispered as I stared at his confused face.

"What?! Where did that come from?!", he yelled as his face grew more and more confused.

"Well you've been staring at me the whole entire time we've been in here, and you haven't said anything yet!"

"That's because I'm trying to figure out what to do with you", he said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You've only been working here for two days, and you've already caused this business trouble!"

"That's because I've never experienced this sort of thing"

"But yet you still chose to do this?"

"If it's for Lucy, then of course I'll do it!"

"That's another thing I wanted to address, why are you so obsessed with my daughter?"

That one question pierced me right through the heart.

'Why am I obsessed with Lucy?'

Mr. Heartfilia continued to look at me as I stared at the ground below me.

I took a deep breath and looked up at Mr. Heartfilia.

"Because…..she's amazing"

"Amazing?"

"Yeah, she's really something else. Ever since I met her, my heart's been jumping like crazy. Just seeing her smile once made my whole day. It was a really weird feeling for me. I didn't know how to explain it…...but the only thing I knew…..was that it felt good. I just really wanted to see her smile every day, but I wanted to be the reason behind that smile. Which in the end made me…...fall in love with your daughter", the last part of my speech came out as a mere whisper. I didn't know how Mr. Heartfilia was going to react to all that. I could only hope that I didn't mess anything up.

"Wow…", was the only thing that came out of Mr. Heartfilia's mouth.

That one word seemed to linger in the air, as I tried my best not to stare into his intimidating eyes.

But that was easier said than done.

Our eyes met on accident, but this time his eyes didn't have that anger in them. All they held now was acceptance and peace.

"...So do you really feel that way….about my daughter?"

"Yes….I do. If I didn't then I wouldn't be here right now"

It was at that moment that the strangest thing happened. Mr. Heartfilia smiled! At me!

"That was all I needed to hear", Mr. Heartfilia stood up and turned his back towards me as he stared out the giant window in his office.

"You're fired…...Natsu", he whispered softly.

Even though his back was facing me, I could see the edges of a smile from on his cheeks.

"What?! Why?! I thought I had to work here for a month?!"

"You did, but that was just to prove if you were worthy of my daughter or not. But I've already made up my mind"

"Really?!"

He nodded, "I think…..you're worthy…", he whispered the last part, but I heard it clearly.

"No….way! Really?!"

Mr. Heartfilia sighed as he sat back down on his office chair. He used both of his hands to cover his face as he mumbled something under his breath.

"Well…..I hate to admit it but ever since you and Lucy have been…..", he made some weird noise but continued, "...She's been….smiling more"

His words made my heart do a somersault. I couldn't believe what he had just said.

"You mean….I've been making her….smile more?", I whispered as Mr. Heartfilia averted his gaze from me.

"I guess so…..", he awkwardly played with his mustache, as I felt my heart melt.

"..."

"But! If you're going to date my daughter, I have to establish some rules between us!"

"Aye!"

"Rule number one! You can't be in the same room with my daughter!"

"W-What?!"

"Rule number two! You can't look at my daughter!"

"Huh?!"

"And finally rule number three! You can't speak to my daughter!"

"..."

"If you can follow these three rules, then you and I are going to get along just fine"

"...You're kidding right?"

'Please tell me you're kidding!'

"No! Why would I be kidding?"

"You can't be serious right?!", I slammed my hands on his desk startling him.

"It's the only way I'll let you date my daughter!"

"That's not even dating! That's just me avoiding her!"

"You should definitely do that!", he looked at my angered expression and burst out into a giant burst of laughter.

"Oi! Old man! This isn't funny!"

"I….I'm sorry! I just…...couldn't help…..it!", he yelled in between his laughter.

Even though I was angry at him, I couldn't but smile at his laughter. Seeing him laugh was the weirdest thing ever. It didn't fit his serious and business like personality.

"Oi! Mr. Heartfilia is laughing!", I heard somebody shout from the workplace.

"Really?!", somebody else shouted.

"Oh I got to see this!"

Over half of the employees rushed over to Mr. Heartfilia's office and stared at his laughing figure. Some of them even pulled out their phones and recorded his laughing fit.

"Man, It's been awhile since I've seen him like this!"

"I know right! He hardly smiles!"

Mr. Heartfilia was too busy laughing that he didn't notice the people in his office recording him. But when he did notice, you could see the dread in his eyes. There was also a hint of annoyance and anger.

'Oh no he's going to blow!'

Mr. Heartfilia took a deep breath in making his chest rise up. He then opened his mouth and roared a mighty roar.

"GET OUT!"

…

"Wow, so it seems like you had an awesome day today", Lucy whispered as she stroked my salmon colored hair. I was currently laying on her lap, looking into her calm, peaceful eyes.

They held so much care in them, that it almost made me feel like we were husband and wife.

"Yeah, I guess you could say it was awesome…..except the part where your dad was shouting!"

"I'm sorry you had to go through that", she said softly as she started to play with my hair.

"It's ok, after all I'm going to have to get used it, now that we're dating"

"To think that he actually allowed us to date each other, what did you do to make him change his mind?"

'Uh oh!'

My face immediately became hot and warm.

'There was no way I could repeat my speech to Lucy! I don't think my heart would allow me to do it!'

"Uh….Natsu?"

"Y-Yeah?"

"Why are you blushing?"

"W-What are you talking about?! I'm not blushing! I'm just tired!"

"Are you sure?", she asked as she smirked her devious smirk

"Y-Yeah!"

"So are you sure it didn't have anything to do with you saying something romantic to my father?"

'Shit! How did she find out!"

"Uh...no?"

"You can cut the act Natsu, my Dad told me everything"

"He did?"

She nodded before placing a kiss on my forehead.

"That was very sweet of you", she smiled, making the butterflies in my stomach flutter wildly around my gut.

"I-I guess…..", I muttered as a yawn escaped my lips.

"I guess you really were tired", she giggled as she gently moved my body into a more comfortable position.

"Take a nap, you deserve it", I stared into her caring eyes one more time before I closed my eyes.

"Alright…..", I whispered before the power of sleep overtook me.

And that was the best sleep I've ever had in years.
