Wake up. Shower. Get dressed. Feed Happy. Feed himself. Check school bag.

Natsu paused short though at his daily routine. He noticed his scarf laying on the floor in the hallway. Natsu bent down to pick it up, rubbing his fingers across the material. He made his way to his Father's old room and opened the door. Igneel's things laid untouched, unmoved, unforgotten. Natsu walked in and placed the scarf on the bed, dust flying up when it made contact. To add to the collection Natsu thought as he walked out and closed the door. Now where was he?

Check school bag. Grab house keys. Put on shoes. Open the door. Head to school.

"Morning lover boy" Lucy called out.

Natsu blinked at the sudden sunlight flashing in his eyes before he looked at his girlfriend.

"What are you doing here?" Natsu asked as he locked his door.

"What? I can't walk my boyfriend to school? So sexist Natsu" Lucy said lighting up her first cigarette of the day.

"Why do you always smoke right in front of me?" he asked walking towards her.

"Why are you always there when I smoke?" Lucy answered like a smart ass.

Natsu grabbed the cigarette out of her lips and stomped it out.

"As a penalty I'm not going to kiss you all day" Natsu said before lifting Wendy up in the air.

She giggled as Natsu placed her over his shoulders and started walking to school.

"Oh please don't Natsu, I can't survive without your kisses" Lucy said sarcastically.

"I know you can't and that's exactly why I'm- hey wait what's in your hands?" Natsu asked.

He's never seen Lucy take something to school, other than that week she was good.

"Oh this thing... it's a camera" she said.

Natsu looked at her. "A camera?" he repeated.

"Yeah you know, you take pictures with it" she said and held it up showing him how it worked.

"I know how it works question was why do you have it?" Natsu asked.

Lucy stared at the camera. "I wanted to take a picture of everyone" she said.

Natsu blinked. "Really?" he asked.

Lucy nodded.

"... Really?" he asked again, at little over exaggerated.

"Yes! Really, shit" Lucy said back reaching for another cigarette.

Natsu grabbed her hand though.

"Okay, picture day for our group, let's get going" Natsu said walking faster.

Lucy only shook her head and allowed her boyfriend to drag her.
