"What would you want to eat!?" Lucy called out from the kitchen "nothing!" Natsu responded. Lucy sighed she should have known he would say something like that. Lucy's cell phone began to ring she took it off the counter and answered it. "Heartifilia" Lucy said. "Have you done what I asked yet?" Erza asked from the other end. Lucy ran a hand over her face she had completely forgot about that. All she thought about was Natsu. "Umm... no I haven't had time" Lucy said. "You could make time" Erza said calmly. Lucy gulped "I'm pretty sure you can do it tomorrow" Erza said. "Aye Sir!" Lucy said brightly "I want it on my desk by three" Erza snapped "t..three" Lucy said. "That's right. See you then" Erza said and hung up. Lucy stared at the phone and then placed it on the counter. You would have thought she was talking about a case report instead of a stupid autograph from her favorite writer. Lucy looked in the cabinet to find a can of soup. She should have known Natsu wouldn't have anything healthy. She wondered how he kept in such good shape... Lucy felt her cheeks burn with blush. It wasn't like she noticed or anything. Returning back to the task at hand Lucy knew she had to get something healthy to help Natsu feel better. She would have to go to the store. She grabbed her keys "Natsu! I'm going to the store!" Lucy called out "Wait!" Natsu exclaimed. "I won't be long...Ah!" Lucy turned to go toward the door only to bump into Natsu. He was fully dressed and ready to go. She looked at him and then down the hall "how did you do that?" Lucy asked "do what?" Natsu asked cluelessly. Apparently that was normal for Natsu. Lucy shook her head "let's go then" Natsu added as he walked towards the door.
They walked into the store. "What are we getting anyway?" Natsu asked "healthy foods for you" Lucy said as she grabbed a basket "eww" Natsu said with a disgusted face. "Say ew all you want but not eating right can cause you to be sick... Oh wait you are sick" Lucy said. "I am not sick" Natsu snapped "I have a cold" Natsu said. Lucy walked over to the vegetable aisle. "Colds include coughing, sneezing, itchy throat, take some medicine and it goes away in a few days..You don't have that" Lucy said as she picked up a bag of potatoes. Natsu immediately put them back. "Natsu" Lucy snapped. "What? I am meatitarian" Natsu said. "Ha ha" Lucy snapped as she picked up the bag again. Natsu groaned and folded his arms like a little kid. He looked really cute pouting that way. Lucy quickly moved to the next thing. "My mom's friend taught me how to make this homemade soup...it could work" Lucy said.
Natsu sighed as he took the basket from her "hey what are you doing?" Lucy snapped. "Just tell me what you need" Natsu said. Lucy blinked at him with surprise. He was acting like a jerk when she was only trying to help him. He felt terrible. "I'm sorry Lucy. You are only trying to help me and I am acting like a kid" Natsu said. "Here is the list then" Lucy said as she pulled a sheet of paper out of her bag.
"What are you doing?" Zera asked as she and Mavis came into the house to see Juvia in the kitchen making a mess. "I have to make him something" Juvia said. "Who?" Mavis asked "the detective" Juvia said as she placed cookie dough on the pan. "Maybe I can help you" Mavis said if she could get in with this detective maybe she could get some scoop on their cases. "No I got it" Juvia said. "Don't you have to work on that case or something" Juvia asked. "I think that's why she wants to help you" Zera muttered. "No...where is Gajeel?" Mavis asked changing the subject. "He is out on a date. You know that girl he has been talking to for months" Juvia said as she put the tray in the oven. "I feel sort of left out now" Zera muttered. "Why's that?" Mavis asked "you have Zeref, Gajeel has Levy, and Juvia has the detective..." "WHAT?! I DON'T HAVE ZEREF!" Mavis snapped. "Sure you don't" Zera said sarcastically. Mavis cheeks were red and puffy "I'm going to bed... now" Mavis snapped. "Yeah, yeah run-away!" Zera called out.
Lucy stretched after she put food in Happy and Plue's bowl. Natsu was right when he said Plue and Happy would get along. She was happy for it. Natsu was washing out a pot. "What are you doing?" Lucy asked "I thought I could help with the soup" Natsu said. "That's cute but you are the one that needs to rest" Lucy said. "I'm fine" Natsu said as he went to one of the bags and took out vegetables. Lucy walked to the sink and grabbed two knives. "Let's do it together" Lucy said. Natsu turned to her and their gazes met. For the first time she saw Natsu differently. Lucy handed him a knife and took some of the vegetables.
