Hey so I know this update is coming a little late but upon having a suddenly very busy week, I completely forgot it was Sunday. Either way, you don't want to hear excuses and probably won't read this anyways. Enjoy Loves!

"You didn't tell me it was going to take 5 fucking hours to get to your house!"

"I'm shocked you thought I decided to go, willingly, to a college that was close to my family. Were you listening anyone of the thousands of times I complained about how annoying they are and how happy I was to finally live alone?" I deadpanned at her complaint with complete annoyance. I wasn't bothered by her lack of interest towards my past problems because ultimately it didn't shock me that she wasn't paying any mind. I didn't learn, or really care, about her family until couple months ago when I slept over and heard her mumble something about being beaten. After that, I questioned her non-stop until she finally caved and told me everything I wanted to know. Ever since then, we've told each other everything. Well except a few select things but you get the point.

"Still, a 5-hour flight is a little more than I bargained for." She huffed, sinking back into her first class seat, closing her eyes as if to whisk it all away. It's been about 10 minutes since we got on the plane and the blonde beauty besides me is already driving everyone nuts. At least she had enough sense left in her to wear comfy clothes. Toying with the strands of her baby blue "Pawz for a Cause" sweatshirt, and glaring evilly at the white beanie that kept falling into her eyes, I chuckled silently under my breath at how funny she looked cross-eyed. The rest of her outfit was simple, black Lululemon leggings accompanied by low top white converse and as much as she hated wearing it, the 'promise ring' her ex-boyfriend Dan had given her, her Junior year of high school.

"I don't understand why you choose to wear the promise ring," I said glaring at the thought of Lucy being with another guy, besides me. "I'm pretty sure my dad, and my mom for that matter, won't care what's on your hand." I continued, crossing my arms over my broad chest. Instead of yelling at me like I thought she would, Lucy just sighed and nodded her head.

"I guess you're right. It was just a random thought I had right before we left so I put it on. I don't want to lose it but I also don't want to wear." She said indifferently while looking out onto the tarmac. Since I've known Luce for so long, I know for a fact that putting it in a safe place won't do shit. When we went backpacking around Europe for a month during the summer before, I watched her put her mother's Swarovski diamond earrings, that she never took out by the way, in a tiny ring box before putting it at the very bottom of her backpack. Trust me, it was there because she purposely dumped at her belongings out and placed it there before putting everything back in. But once we got back from the bar we were hanging out at with some people we met along the way, they were gone.

"I could always buy you another one. Crocus' airport is one of the biggest in the country and has multiple jewelry stores, I'm sure we could find something." I suggested nonchalantly. Whether Luce had a promise ring didn't particularly matter to me, as long as we got through this weekend without ripping each other's heads off, I'd be fine. I quite like my head, thank you. "Alright recap everything; Our flight lands around 1:00 in the morning and since the airport is about a 30-minute drive from my house, I'll say we get there around 1:45. Knowing my parents, both of them, maybe my sister even, will still be up to meet you but will send us straight to bed after introductions. The next morning my parents will no doubt have questions for us and then we'll be split up. My mom will take you and my sister, while I go with my dad. Interrogation will continue until we get back. That's when you'll meet my older brother Zeref and his wife Mavis.

"They have two kids, a boy and a girl, named Zayn and Malia. Zayn is 6 years old and Malia is 2. I'm sure my parents have stuff planned for the rest of the weekend but I wasn't exactly listening to that phone call so, I got no fucking clue what we're supposed to be doing. We'll leave on Monday and be back before you know it." I said swinging my arm in fake enthusiasm. Lucy huffed a quiet laugh and rolled her eyes at my antics.

"Sound like a plan, what about our story?" She asked pulling her knee close to her chest.

"What story?"

"You know our story, how we meet, how you asked me out or if I asked you out, our first date, so on and so forth. The only way we'll make this believable is if we get our story straight." She deadpanned at my stupidity.

"Pffft, I knew that," I said as if it was obvious. I could literally feel my smile draining from my face when Lucy turned to me with her eyebrow raised in obvious doubt. A moment of silence passed between us as I watched her and she watched the runaway whizz by as the plane took off. She really is beautiful and she's been through so much shit it's unhealthy, yet she still keeps smiling. If half the fucked up shit she has gone through happened to me, I'd be in a mental institution already. "Alright, so what were you thinking?" I asked rubbing my hands together.

"Well, I think we should tell them our story first and then add onto it with the details of how you asked me out and of our first date." She said leaning on the armrest closest to the window. Looking at her with my eyebrow raised, I began to question her sanity and decision to tell my parents how we met.

"You want to tell my parents about how we met?" We met in a hospital. My best friend Gray Fullbuster and his girlfriend Juvia, they are still together now, got into a car accident on the way home from some party his twin brother, Lyon, was throwing for his girlfriend Meredy. It wasn't a bad one, but the car next to them hit the divider and swerved over and hit Gray's side, causing him to lose control and flip over. Gray had some major gashes in his left leg and broke his arm but other than that he was fine. Juvia had some head trauma and lost some of her memories which she quickly gained back with Luce's help, dislocated her right shoulder and broke her ankle. Lucy and her friend Levy McGarden, who is also my cousin's girlfriend, were Juvia's best friends. They helped her recover her memories and get her back on track. I made sure Gray didn't have a fit and storm away from the problem like he tended to do in times of crisis, leading to them having an even stronger relationship. They never did thank me for that.

It was the middle of the night and both Luce and I had decided to stay with each part of the injured couple, but we were getting hungry. I know that because as I was walking down the deserted hallway, yawning widely and rubbing my tired eyes, I ran right into a small woman coming out Juvia's room. I had never seen her before but man was she hot. We said nothing, just stared at each other for a long while before she asked if I wanted to go eat. I hurriedly said yes and well, we talked about everything. I found out that she was one of Juvia's best friends, and she found out I was Gray's. We bonded overloads of food and tons of hilarious stories about our friends. By far the greatest night of my life, was when I meet Lucy Heartfilia.

Sorry, this is a bit short, to compensate I'll update the next chapter on Wednesday. Until then, ciao.
