~Lucy POV~

The sounds of birds chirping began playing outside my window as some streaks of sun hit it.

I scrunched my nose and let out a long yawn. Time to start another day.

"Good morning Na-" I looked over to my side and realised that that idiot wasn't there. Immediately I began to panic, thinking what the hell he's up to this time.

Burning the kitchen down ?
Clogging the toilet ?
Breaking the washing machine ??
Emptying the fridge ?!
Or....don't tell me he's back out looking for trouble !

"Natsu !" I call, frantically running out the room. I make my way to the sitting room and was about to call his name again when I heard a loud snore coming from the couch.

The idiot must've fallen asleep here last night.

I quietly make my way up to him and gave a sigh of relief, seeing him fast asleep peacefully, not getting up to any sort of mischief. I really hope that he stays this way for a while. I like this new Natsu a lot.

I gently run my hands through his hair, removing the stray ones from his forehead. I watch as a small smile began to tug at the corner of his lips, as I subconsciously find myself mirroring his action.

I was about to stand up and leave when I noticed something in his hand. His phone. Curiosity began to get the best of me again. Last time I tried to take his phone, he was very quick at grabbing it back. He's hiding something and I need to know what.

I peaked over as I saw a text message from Gray flash across the screen. Natsu's thumb was covering over it but I managed to make out the words "decision" and "plan". What ?!

I reached out my hand and held onto the corner of the phone when I felt his grip tighten. I looked up at Natsu, but his eyes were still shut. I tried pulling the phone harder this time but felt myself jump when I heard a laugh from Natsu. The idiot was awake ugh !

"Wow, you're really nosy." He said snatching the phone away from my grasp.

"Well, I'm your girlfriend." I pout crossing my hands over my chest. "How long have you been awake for ?!"

"Since you tried to grab my phone." He shrugged.

"Ok...what decision is Gray on about....and the plan ?" I ask. I see him hesitate a moment before answering me. I raise an eyebrow at him, ushering him to give me an explanation.

"He wants to propose to Juvia and he's asking me how, but you can't tell anyone at all ok ?" He said with a serious look in his eye. Something about his story just didn't seem convincing...maybe the fact that Gray turned to Natsu for love advice when it's usually the other way around. Or maybe the fact Natsu said that with a serious face, without mocking Gray or making snide remarks. Oh well, maybe it's part of the new Natsu.

"That's so cute !" I chirp. "Well, if I were Juvia I'd love it if he maybe took me on the Ferris Wheel and proposed to me there-oh-or even at home but in a romantic way." Hint, hint Natsu.

"Huh ?" Natsu yawns in return, clearly not listening to a single thing I'd just said. I decide to not reply, as I'll probably just end up snapping at him so I make my way to the kitchen to make breakfast for me and the hungry, dense beast.
