"So are you and Natsu okay staying in your old room, Lucy?" Asked Zeref as he unlocked the front door to the house and carried in my bag. Natsu stumbled behind with his suitcase.

"Uh yeh sure!" I replied, suddenly realising that I was sleeping in the same bed as Natsu tonight... not that I hadn't done it before but this time seemed a lot more real.

Me and Mavis stepped through the front door behind Zeref and Natsu.

"We'll bring our stuff upstairs" I explained, grabbing my bag along with Natsu. We made our way up the narrow staircase and stood outside my bedroom door.

"So I get to see where my girlfriend lived, ay?" Said Natsu, a cheeky grin spread across his face.

"Only for a year but yeh!" I replied, mimicking his face and throwing in a laugh. I grabbed the brass handle of the tall door and turned it. I pushed open the door, revealing my old room. It was nice to see it again.

"Well here it is!" I said, gesturing around the room.

The same double bed sat in the corner, my full length mirror against my wall and my white wardrobes at the other end. We placed our bags next to my desk.

"It's nice, I like it" He said. He walked towards me, wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me into a hug. His lips pressed against my for head in a sweet kiss. He pulled away and looked into my eyes.

"I'm really happy you invited me to come" He said softly, his arms still around my waist, our bodies still pressed together.

"Me too" I said, getting lost in his deep onyx eyes.

"Knock knock" a voice said from the doorway, simultaneously knocking on the door too. Me and Natsu snapped out of our 'staring into each others eyes' moment and turned our heads to the door to see Mavis stood with her head popped around the doorway. We quickly unwrapped ourselves from eachother, both our faces turning red.

"Sorry to interupt" She said with a giggle. "Just letting you guys know I'll make dinner for around 8, so you guys have a good few hours alone until we eat again." She said with a wink, left left the room. I face palmed while Natsu stood next to me with a red face.

"I'm sorry about... her" I said, shaking my head and laughing.

"She's uh... forward." He laughed too. "I'm like it"

"Well anyway," I said, walking towards the bed and sitting in the middle with my legs crossed. "Why don't we go to the mall or something?"

Natsu walked over and sat beside me.

"Yeh sure, that sounds good" He replied

"I'm gonna have a shower before we leave okay?" I told him, now getting off my bed and grabbing some clothes from my drawer and placing them on my bed for later. I still had a few clothes in this house that I had left behind.

"Sure, I'll go after." He answered, getting his phone out from his pocket and laying back on the bed.

"I won't be long!"

I walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I turned on the water so it could warm up, and started to undress.

My en suite was big. The walls were tall and white. There was a wall of cupboards and a nice grey rug in the floor.

I placed my dirty clothes in a pile on the floor and stepped into the steaming water of the shower. The hot water tricked down my body, soaking my hair through.

Eventually my hair was washed and body clean. I stepped out of the shower, shivering as the cold air hit my skin. I opened one of the white cupboard and went in to grab a towel. My hand hit the bottom of the cupboard shocking me. I cursed under my breath after raising there were no towels in the cupboard.

"Um, Natsu?" I called, pressing my face against the door of the bathroom. Goosebumps had taken over my skin from the coldness of the room.

"Yeh what's up princess?" He called from the other room. I smiled from his nickname.

"I forgot to bring in after towel, do you mind grabbing me one from my wardrobe?" I asked sweetly. I waited for a response but instead heard shuffling around the other room.

"Here" Said Natsu, his voice now louder as he knocked on the door gently. I opened the door the tiniest bit and stuck my hand out to grab the towel. As soon as I felt the fluffy material of the towel, I pulled it through the crack and pressed it to my body.

"Aww you're no fun" said Natsu from the other side of the door once I had closed it.

"I get to see nothing?" He called.

"Not today mate" I laughed, whilst drying myself with my towel and wrapping it around my body. "and thanks"

After drying my hair and grabbing my dirty clothes, I walked out the bathroom, towel still wrapped around my body. My clothes flew across the room as I threw them into the washing pile. I turned to see Natsu sat on the bed, looking me up and down.

"Damn Luce..." He mumbled under his breath making me blush.

"Shut your mouth, you'll catch flies" I joked, wiggling my bum in the process. Natsu laughed and jumped up from the bed. He walked towards me and gently grabbed my upper arms with his hands.

"Luce, why are you so beautiful?" He pondered, looked me up and down, then connecting his eyes with mine. My face burned up as I looked down shyly.

"Seriously Luce, you're like an angel." He carried on, not loosing the eye contact.

"Natsu stop..." I said, feeling extremely embarrased. He looked behined him, listing lots of things he found amazing about me. My blush grew and grew as he lengthened the list.

Suddenly a cold air hit my body. I looked down, my eyes widening as I noticed my towel had fallen down.

I froze in shock. Crap I'm completley naked right now. I looked up at Natsu, to see him still turned the other way, not noticing the sudden tenseness in my arms.

What happened next all went in slow motion. Natsu slowly started to turn around to face me again, his arms still on mine. His eyes widened when he saw me just standing there, the towel lay on the floor. The face then turned to a smirk as he released my my arms and took a step back to get a good view. My face burned red as I rapidly tired to cover my body with my hands. I bent down quickly and grabbed the towel, wrapping it around to self in a rush.

"If you were so eager you could have just said." Teased Natsu, his face still holding a smirk.

"Can we just pretend that didn't happen?" I said, looking awkwardly at the floor.

"No can do missy, I wouldn't wanna get that image out of my head even if I could get ten million jewels." He said.

Oh my God this is so embarrasing... I thought, not knowing what to do next.

Natsu took a step back towards me and placed his hand on my cheek. He tilted my face upwards and planted a soft kiss on my lips. He pulled away and smiled.

"I won't be long" He said, and walked into the bathroom, door shut.

"I can't decide!" I moaned, as I rambled on about which pair of shoes to buy.

We were in the Vans store in the middle of the mall. I was trying to decide between a black and white pair of high tops or a burgundy pair.

"Why don't you get both?" Natsu suggested, sat next to me on a chair for trying on the shoes.

I debated in my head, deciding against as I still had to pay rent this month.

"I'll get the burgundy ones." I decided, a smile spread across my face as I put them back in the box they came in and headed to the till.

"That's 54.99" Said that guy at the checkout, he had green long green hair and wore a beanie.

Just as I was about to whip out my purse, a hand stretched infront of me. A hand belonging to Natsu. He handed the man the money, slid the bag with the box of shoes inside off the counter, and grabbed my hand, pulling my out of the store.

"Come again!" Called the man from the checkout.

I stopped once we exited the store and looked up at Natsu, who had a cheeky smile across his face.

"You didn't have time do that Natsu" I said, feeling bad.

"Nah, I wanted to. They're a present from me!" He said, bumping up his smile.

"Thankyou Natsu!" I beamed, wrapping my arms around his neck, lifting myself onto my tip toes and giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"Is there anywhere you wanna go?" I asked, not wanting him to get bored with me running around to random shops.

"Let's go to the music store? If there is one." Said Natsu, gesturing around the large mall ahead of us.

"Yeh there is, I'll show you the way!" I said, dragging him towards a staircase so we could go onto a lower floor. Soon enough we entered the music shop, looking around at records and posters.

"I wish I could just fill my room with all these posters!" I joked, pointing towards all the different band posters that stood head of us on the racks. "I'm such a kid"

We both laughed before heading to the CD section. Me and Natsu picked up disks and ended up with a pile of around 11 in the basket; varying from My Chem to Ed Sheeran.

Throughout the afternoon we joked around and laughed a lot. At one point, we nearly got kicked out of the mall from playing hide and seek; Natsu had decided it would be funny to climb on top of one of the statues of a lion to hide... It didn't go down well with the security. We apologised and managed to not get kicked out. It was pretty funny to be honest.

Now, we're walking around the mall with nothing left to do. We both held two shopping bags each--Three of the were mine. My phone buzzed in my pocket, stopping me in my tracks of doing laps around the mall with Natsu. He stopped once he realised I wasn't next to him. I took my phone from my pocket to check the message.

: Dinner will be ready in around an hour. If you don't mind could you and Natsu run to the store for me? >-

: Yeh sure, just tell me what you need ^^

: Thanks! Just some chillies. You said Natsu likes it spicy right? ;)

: Okay... :'D

I quickly put my phone back in my pocket and turned to Natsu who was waiting patiently next to me.

"Hey we have to go to the store is that okay? Gotta buy some stuff for Mavis." I told Natsu, feeling bad that we had to cut our little shopping spree short; even though we had basically explored the whole place already.

"Okay, then let's go!" He said.

-

We got in the car, fastened our seat belts and headed to the grocery store. The drive was only about 5 minutes from the mall.

We hopped out of the car and strolled into the store, hand in hand. Natsu grabbed a basket.

"So what do we need to get?" He asked. I directed him towards the fruit and veg section.

"We need some chillies and I wanna buy some icecream" I say the second part with a cheeky smile. Ice cream was my guilty pleasure, and this store did the best cookie dough flavour I've ever had.

Soon enough we were at the till, paying for chillies, icecream, sprinkles and chocolate sauce.

"Weird combination ey?" Said Natsu with and chuckle as he looked down at nest the items slowly travelling along the conveyor belt.

"Maybe some people like really spicy icecream" I laughed, then payed the cashier.

Now we're heading home, blasting the radio out of the car, which happened to be playing Stressed Out. Me and Natsu sang along and soon were pulling into the drive of the house. We got out of the car and I opened the door with my key.

"We have the chillies!" I called out as me and Natsu stepping to the hallway.

"Oooh great!" Sand Mavis as she ran out of the kitchen, grabbed the chillies and disappeared again. Natsu and I let out a laugh, before heading upstairs.

"Do you know what she's making?" Asked Natsu, breathing in the strong smell of herbs and spices that was traveling through the air. "It sure smells good"

"I have no idea" I replied, opening my bedroom door and walking in. "But trust me, Mavis's cooking is to die for."

We got under my covers on the bed, and turned Netflix on the TV oppisite. After deciding on watching an anime we snuggled together and started watching. Around two episodes and a half later, Mavis called us down to get some food.

Me and Natsu leapt of the warm bed, stomachs now gurgling for the food that awaited us.

Together, we scrambled down the stairs and rushed to the kitchen where Mavis and Zeref sat.

"Burgers!" I cheered as I slid into my chair. "Oh how I have missed these" I recited, reminiscing all the times I had devoured Mavis's wonderful burgers. I snapped out my daze about food, remembering there was one right in front of me. Natsu sat to my right, Mavis oppisite and Zeref next to her. Everyone had a burger on their plate and there were more in the middle of the table, along with garnishes.

"Let's dig in!"
