I'm sorry. (NaLu oneshot)

Home Sweet Home

I felt myself smile as I dried my hands off with the kitchen cloth, and set in back down.  "Nashi, can you get me the eggs? Two." I called gently, pouring 1/2 cup of vegetable oil inside the red baking bowl. Her eyes lightened up quickly, "Yes!" She exclaimed, rushing over to the fridge. 

   Cooking was by far her favorite thing to do, ever since I catered for a friend in Magnolia's wedding. She put the eggs carefully on the egg holder, and smiled up at me. I smiled as well, happy to be such a big part of this girls life. I was her mother after all.

    "Alright, to get a good good crack, you hit it on the bowl gently until it snaps in half without any of the eggs remains falling into the batter." I advised, blinking happily at her. She closed her eyes and put a bright smile on her face. Her lashes on so long, just like mine.

   "I got the milk you asked for, Luce~" A voice cooed, caressing my cheek from behind. I blinked, turning around while he corned me. "Thanks," I murmured as hot and seductive I could get. I squinted my eyes while having my mouth barely open, and a small blush on my cheeks. 

    I could see him blush and I smiled as devilishly as I could and handed the milk to Nashi. I bent down to her eye level and pointed to the liquid measurer. "One cup of milk," I said. "So, about right here. This blue line and the number one. Fill the milk in to right there. Then put it in the bowl and start stirring. I already put the spray in the pan so it won't stick to it, so you can put it in the pan as well, got that? Can you handle it?" 

   Nashi looked at me confidently, "Of course!" She exclaimed, giving me a thumbs up. I smiled, my heart starting to beat as I took the fabric on Natsu's chest and led him into our living room. He locked his lips with mine, and my face flushed. "Ah," I exclaimed as he licked my ear lobe. 

   "She is in the kitchen, Nats- Oh!" I exclaimed as he began to suck on my neck. "Wait till tonight.. Please," I murmured, locking my lips with his again. What a mistake, as it began to intensify as he stuck his tongue into my mouth. "Mm! Protection, we have to wait.. When you get home cake will be ready, go get protection." I nodded as he popped his bottom lip out. "Go," 

  I smiled. I was so blessed, I was left to fend for myself as a child. I may have had maids and a big house, but the only love I got was from the maids. I ran away then was engaged to someone else. I had been through so much, but I was finally able to settle down. I held my hand up towards my chandelier, the pink tattoo on my hand shining as bright as ever. I held it close to me, a smile on my face. 

  I worked so hard on the week days while Nashi was at school to earn money. We didn't have to pay rent, but electrical and H2O bills and groceries and things Nashi wanted, like the communication lacrima, which also bennifited Natsu and I, being able to now contact her while on missions. 

   I was snapped out of my thoughts when a thrilled "Momma! They're done, I think!" I stood, gaining balance then went into the kitchen. "They smell good, a little burnt though. It takes practice, but lets decorate before Daddy gets home, hm?" Nashi smiled, then ran into the living room. She returned with a white printer paper and showed me the designs she wanted. 

    I felt sweat form on my neck. Crap, uh.. "Okay, we can try. Do we have fondant?" Nashi's ego was boosting by the second. I could literally feel it. "I bought everything we need on the way home, it is premade by my friend's mom. Cool, huh? I came prepared!" I smiled, oh good. I was saved.

  "Then you want to do it yourself, or you want help for placing them on there?" Nashi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I can do it myself, I will surprise dad!" I nodded, though she was slightly disappointed they were a bit burnt, she was excited. I could tell. 

"I'm home!" Natsu exclaimed, slamming the bag on the table and racing to the kitchen. "And what is that- mm mm MM! Glorious smell!" He exclaimed, looking around the kitchen. His eyes landed on the cupcakes and he could feel the drool form. 

  He dropped onto the floor onto a praying position, "Oh lord every god I can think of: Thank you for letting me live in a house of gorgeous ladies that can cook!" He exclaimed, bowing over and over. "And with that, don't mind if I do!" He grabbed the biggest one there, that had a small note that said "For Daddy" on the side. 

    It had a pink rose on the rim of the whole thing, and a yellow and pink tulip in the middle. He smiled warmly, appreciating it for 0.3 seconds before inhaling in. He shook his head happily while swallowing. "So good! So good, so GOOD!" 

Lucy appeared behind him with a smile. "Nashi went to sleep, wanna watch a movie?" She asked, gesturing towards their bed. Natsu smiled, injecting his tongue into my mouth in a big kiss as we fell onto the bed.

A perfect life.
