The job that brought them closer (nalu)

'Special' mission

It was like any normal evening at the fairy tail guild hall, everyone laughing, drinking, fighting, and having a merry time. Lucy walks through the warm, welcoming doors to her guild and walks over to talk to Mirajane, an S-class mage and matchmaker who also works the bar. As Lucy makes her way over, the white haired, blue-eyed barmaid noticed her and walked over to where Lucy is now standing.

"Hi Lucy! Is someone or something on your mind?" Mira inquired knowing the answer already.

"You always know!" The blonde said with a hint of surprise; "How do you always know?" Lucy asked

"A girl has her ways of finding dirt. What can I help you with?" Mira said, getting Lucy off the topic.

"Do you have any 'special' jobs that me and Natsu could do?" Lucy asked the matchmaking barmaid

Mirajane raised her eyebrows and then smiled a warm smile "I'll check my special job book and see if there's any listings for you two; in exchange I want to be your first borns godmother." Once she said her condition, Mirajane smiled her trademark 'innocent' smile

Lucy looked at her and thought, 'Hell I was going to grant her that title anyway, but the terms are agreeable.' "Deal!" Said the busty blonde under her breath so others wouldn't hear.

As Mirajane flipped through her stashed request book, Lucy ordered a strawberry smoothie, relaxed, and chatted to Levy, her blue haired friend that just sat in the barstool to the left of her.

"Lu-chan when are you going to finish the next chapter! I want to find out what happens next in your novel! It's really awesome!" The bluenette said in excitement. "Soon Levy-chan! I'm just having a bit of writers block, it should be done soon though!" Lucy said to her best friend smiling at the thoughts of Natsu that were going through her mind.

"Lucy come over here for a sec." Mira called, Lucy excused herself from the conversation and sat across from her white haired comrade.

"I found the perfect job for you and Natsu!" Mira exclaimed. "All you have to do is style the princess of Fiore's hair in exchange for 500,000 jewel and two days in the king's private hot spring!" The girl then smiled and handed her the request from her stash and swiftly hid her book of requests from sight.

"500,000 Jewel!? That's enough for a few months rent, and it's perfect for me because Cancer is phenomenal with hair!" The blonde thanked her friend for helping her out and started to rush to her place, knowing Natsu would be there as always.

On her way home, Lucy was thinking about how much she wishes that Natsu would notice her already, it's been two years since they met. She knows that he feels the same towards her, but why hasn't he made a move already? 'Maybe I can make the first move, since he keeps putting his feelings off to the side.' She thought as a devilish smile came across her face. She knew what to do about this situation.

Her thoughts seize as she realizes that she was home. Now she's thinking of what she can cook for dinner, as Lucy enters her room, she sees a pink haired dragonslayer on her bed softly snoring, his feline friend Happy was staying over Wendy and Charle's house for the night. He looks too adorable to wake up, so she lets him sleep while she started to batter up some carp for frying. Before Lucy started getting out the ingredients to make dinner, she slipped off her short blue skirt, and changed into a revealing red and white apron that had stitching on it that says 'kiss the cook' in blue.

Before Lucy was able to get all of the pans out to start, she felt someone pick her up, throw her over a shoulder, and head towards her small room.
