Here you go, and wow, we've been on this story for a while now, haven't we?

Chapter Eighteen

Natsu's p.o.v

I woke up to an empty couch but the house smelled like eggs and bacon, so I'm not complaining. Last night was amazing, everything went perfectly. I noticed Lucy was a bit nervous in the beginning, but after we got food, we went back to our normal selves. It was almost like we've been dating for years.

Isn't that what dating is like though? It's basically being best friends expect more intimate. Well, at least that's how I see it. I actually think we need to go on another job though, considering we need to buy groceries and pay rent and all that adult stuff.

I got out of my thoughts, deciding I needed to see Lucy. I got up from my spot, into the kitchen, only to find Lucy dancing while making food. I watched her for a bit because she would never be like this with me. She was completely oblivious to my presence. After a little bit, I cleared my voice, wanting to save her from too much embarrassment.

She turned around abruptly, startling herself even more, if she would've turned even a little faster I'm sure she would've got wind lash. "How long have you been there," she asked nervously, like she had been doing something illegal.

I laugh at my thought before answering her question, "About 5 min." Of course she only squealed and hid her face in her hands, dying of embarrassment. This only fueled my amusement about the situation.

"Shut up, fdewss," she mumbled from inside her hand, causing me to laugh even more. She got her face out of her hand only to glare at me. I put my hands up in mock surrender, laughing at the situation even more now. Soon enough, I was on the floor, clutching my stomach from laughing so much.

"No bacon for you then," Lucy said above me smirking, and that got me to shut up right away. That comment got me groveling at her feet, begging for forgiveness. She probably only accepted it because I even knew I looked like a retard. But either way, I get bacon, so I could care less about how I looked, plus it got Lucy to laugh.

Lucy served me and her and soon enough, we were sat at the table, looking like the prefect domestic couple. I blushed at the thought because, really Natsu, why would I even think something like that? My blushing caused Lucy to worry because when do I ever blush? I quickly reassured her that I just got a little too hot and my body reacted to it, which was actually a good lie, considering I don't lie at all, ever. Especially not to Lucy.

Today was a good so far, though after the breakfast incident everything was calm, no nervousness or weird thoughts, just our normal talks like we used to have. Everything was perfect for once in our lives and I loved it. (Not the only thing he loves)

Lucy's p.o.v

Natsu is such a dork all the time. He might be sick though, I saw his face get really red during breakfast. I'll have to keep an eye on him, just in case. He's so bashful and shy around me though, it's like when I have confidence, he goes all shy, but when he has confidence, I get shy… it's kind of funny.

It's kind of like we were destined to be with each other, we are always complete opposites. I was raised by proper parents, he was raised by a dragon. He likes to fight head on, I like to make a plan. He likes to fight, I like to read. We really are complete opposites.

I'm just waiting to see whether we're gonna tell the guild or let them figure it out. I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to the idea of telling them, but I'm just scared of their reactions. Mira would be ecstatic, but I don't know about Lissana or how she'll react.

I'm sure everything will be fine though, the universe will figure everything out, if he and I don't work then I might as well enjoy now while I can. I mean, life's all about living for the moment, isn't it? We're not supposed to dwell on the future, nor the past, we're supposed to forgive and forget as well, so we're not held back by grudges.

And right now, my present revolves around Natsu, and hopefully his revolves around me as well. Gosh, listen to me, I sound like a teenage philosopher. I'm now focusing too much on the present, I'm pretty sure Natsu doesn't have thoughts like this.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I check to see what Natsu was doing and I regretted it immediately. I looked at Natsu and wanted to hide my face in a wall. There stood Natsu with just a towel around his waist and water dripping impossibly slowly down his body. For whoever that can't imagine what he looks like, just imagine a sex God and you'll imagine what he looks like.

It has to be illegal to look like that on a normal basis. "Natsu, put on some clothes," I screech, not wanting him to sense my arousal, which was damn near impossible with his sense of smell. I know I'm right because when I look up at Natsu's face, it has a smirk on it.

"I'm not sure you want that Lucy," he says, slowly coming over to me as I back against the couch. I shake my head, not trusting my voice at the moment. My back is against the couch handle sooner than I would have liked it to be, so Natsu is right in front of me within seconds.

His lips centimeters from mine, he says, "Or do you want me to do something else?"

There we go, I don't even know what I want to have happen in this story or how long I want it to be anymore. So now I'm waiting to see what my imagination comes up with.
