Natsu x Lucy [1]

                                                          *Tape Won't Fix It*

"Lucy-chan! Are you there? Lucy-chan!?" Natsu yelled outside of Lucy's apartment. He and Happy had been searching all over town for her because he had a mission for them to go on. She was in need of more rent money and this job would pay more than enough.

"Lucy-chan!" He called again as he bust through the door, fearing for the worst. Thankfully, everything seemed normal other than the fact that Lucy wasn't there.

"Huh... Where is she? She's always here, writing or something." Natsu mumbled to himself as he headed to a local magic key shop in Magnolia. Lucy had mentioned wanting to see if she could get some other keys, maybe another celestial key, for awhile. Maybe she finally went there? Natsu was going to find out.

"Huh? A young blonde haired woman? Hm... Did she have a red ribbon-like bow in her hair? Brown eyes? Beautiful smile?" the middle aged shopkeeper questioned.

"Yeah! That's her!" Natsu exclaimed happily. She may not have been there but, maybe he's close to finding her.

The shopkeeper nodded, "Yeah, she was here about fifteen minutes ago. She didn't find the key she wanted but, she did say something about going to some cake store."

Natsu nodded and headed out the store, "Thanks old man!"

The man got an irk mark and yelled back as Natsu left, "I'm not old damn it!"

As Natsu made his way to the cake store that the shopkeeper described, he kept his eyes open for the young blonde haired woman. If they were going to do the mission, they'd have to leave soon.

"Hmm... I'll take that one." Natsu looks towards the counter, hearing a familiar voice.

A giant grin makes it's way to his face as he headed over to the counter and flung his arm around her shoulders, scaring her in the process, "Lucy-chan! Finally! I found you!"

Lucy blushed slightly as she turned her head a little to look at the pinkette, "What are you talking about?"

"I got us a job, we need to hurry if we're gonna make it!" Natsu explained, his grin never leaving as he remained unaware of the effect he was having on his female friend and teammate.

"O-oh! I see. Well after I get my order, we can drop it off and leave." Lucy responded as she the baker packed her cake.

Natsu removed his arm and sighed dramatically, "Fine."

Lucy laughed and took the cake once she paid, "Thank you! Come on Natsu-kun."

With that, the duo left the bakery and went to Lucy's. Her, being completely unaware to what she'd see as he, Natsu, completely forgot he'd broken down her door.

"NATSU! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Lucy yelled once they were in front of her apartment, where her door was supposed to be.

"Oh yeah... I forgot. I was looking for you and I thought you were being held hostage or something." Natsu explained with a sheepish smile.

Lucy sighed angrily as an irk mark appeared, "Well I can't leave until it's fixed. I can't just leave my home open to anyone!"

"Hmm..." Natsu walked in and to the table in front of her couch, "Just use this." He tossed her the object.

Lucy glared at him, "A roll of duct tape? Natsu, that won't work. I'm going to need a new door, that's all there is to it."

Natsu simply whined and groaned as they left again to get a new door for her apartment before Lucy's landlord found out.
