The Playboy of Fairy Tail High

Guess I'm Lucy-nee

"So how many people actually know your aunt lives in a mansion?"

Natsu and I walk back through the garden and into the house, where we return the cookies and sit at the bar stools. Natsu pulls out a huge bag of popcorn. Healthy snacks, I know.

"Not very many. S-class, Cana, and Lisanna I guess. I don't have many close friends, but those that are do."

I laugh, "so all those girls really do just want you for your looks."

"Hey, what about personality?" He raises his hands. I scrunch up my face, and stick my tongue out at him. He throws a piece of popcorn at me.

"Ahh!" I laugh, throwing popcorn at him. Instead of blocking it, he opens his mouth and catches it.

"Nice throw, Luce!" I toss a couple more into his mouth, and he catches all of them.

"NATSU-NII!"

"That's Wendy. I'll be right back." Natsu stands up.

"Ok. I have to go to the bathroom, actually."

"It's upstairs, to the opposite side from the office, the last door on the left." We walk up the stairs together, but then he makes a turn in to Wendy's room.

"Natsu-nii, how do you solve this?" I hear Wendy ask as I smile at their sibling relationship. I walk to the last door on the left and enter the huge bathroom. No joke, it could be the size of an office. I use the bathroom, and stand up to wash my hands. The warm water creates steam that fogs up the giant mirror in front of me. Wiping the space that covers my face, I pour a cup of tap water and turn off the faucet to hear voices.

"Wendy, finish your work."

"But this is an important question!"

"Ok..."

"Is she your girlfriend?" I spit out my water.

"W- what? N- no. Now finish your work."

"Why not? She's pretty, and I like you two together."

Looking back at my reflection, my face is beet red. I hope it's from the hot steam in the room though...

"You're blushing, onii- chan!" Wendy giggles triumphantly.

"Shush. Finish your homework, then it's almost lunch time."

"Will you make me my favorite meal?"

"Of course. Now finish! Then we'll have the whole rest of the weekend to play and hang out together."

"Ok!" Wendy agrees, and I hear her door knob turn. I quickly wipe my hands on the towel and leave the bathroom. Racing down the stairs, I take my seat right before I see Natsu round the corner from the steps.

"Hey Luce." His face is still a little red, but his voice is even. I hope my face isn't still flushed!

"You know, I think I should be heading back soon, I don't want to intrude on you guys like this..." I hear the squeaking of steps, but ignore it.

"You really aren't intruding, since I brought you here. But yeah, I get it. When do you think you'll leave?"

"Uhh, right now? I don't know, but I feel a little awkward staying for lunch." I stand up and face the door.

"You could stay, y'know, if you wanted to." Natsu replies slowly, and stands up behind me quickly. His face is a little brighter pink.

"YEAH! Stay!!" Wendy runs up to me and hugs my legs.

"Were you listening?" Natsu asks.

"Maybe. But Lucy-nee should stay!"

"I'm sorry Wendy- chan, but I think I should be going. Do you know where my bag is?" I look at Natsu, who shrugs.

"You didn't have it walking in."

"What? But it was on me when we got breakfast... Shoot! I must have left it in the room when I left Cana's food. Can I call her?"

"Sure, but you know Cana. It's a Saturday. She probably won't be able to let you in until tomorrow afternoon after a looonng nap." He smiles, and hands me his cell phone. I call Cana, and get her voicemail.

"Does this mean Lucy- nee is staying?" Wendy asks with wide eyes.

"I guess it does," I sigh, messing with her hair. She giggles, and I smile.

"You can even sleep here if you need to. We have an extra room with its own bathroom. And if you need clothes we have a bunch. Although, you already have the pajamas down." Natsu smiles and takes his phone back. I jump back a little in shock, completely forgetting that I never changed this morning. I'm still wearing my red, long pajama pants and white tank top with a bunny on it. My face flushes with embarrassment, but it's quickly overcome by relief that I have a place to stay. 

"Thank you! You're a lifesaver. I guess I'm staying for lunch and dinner, Wendy-chan!" She squeals and gives me another hug, but we're interrupted by the sound of someone opening the front door.

A voice croaks, "What? Who's there?"
