Evers POV
"Then lets go. I cant wait for you to see this place!" Natsu said excitedly as we pulled out of the parking lot. "So wheres this place anyway?" I asked him as we drove. "Its not a long drive. Maybe twenty minutes," he told me. I nodded and went back to looking out the window. Magnolia is a decent sized city but we were out of it after a ten minute drive. "This place is surrounded by beauty. I cant wait until you see our seats," he said. I looked at him and cocked my head to the side, "did you have to have a reservation or something?" I asked. He shook his head no, "not usually but i had a few...special requests," as he spoke he took one hand off the wheel and put it on my thigh. "You didnt have to pay extra, did you? I can help pay if-" i was about to pull out my wallet when he gently shook my thigh and spoke, "no, no. Youre not paying for anything. I am taking you on this date so everything is on me." I opened my mouth to speak again but he didnt let me, "and im not chaning my mind, baby." He told me. I finally put my wallet away. When i looked out the window again i noticed that we were now in the more farming area. "You sure its around here?" I asked skeptically. Natsu chuckled, "of course i am! Ive been going here ever since i could remember. My dad loves this place too," he told me. "Okayy," i replied, still unsure. We drove past many large farms and fields until i saw a lare red building in the distance. "See, there it is," natsu told me. As we drove closer i could make out more details. It was a japanese syle white building. There were dozens of intricate red designs along the walls of the building. The roofs red shingles formed a beautiful arch and above that there was the head of a dragon made out of the same red material. There was a small parking lot out front of the building that we pulled into. When we got out of the car natsu put the roof up so our bags wouldnt get stolen or anything. When i turned around to look at the building again i noticed an elderly couple standing by the door waving at me. I looked around to make sure they werent waving at anyone else and there was no one except for me and natsu who was messing with the car. I waved at the couple polietly but quickly tapped natsus shoulder, "natsu, those people are waving at me," i said. He turned around and looked at the couple before smiling widely, "oh thats my grandparents!" He said as he waved at them. "Youre grandparents?!" I asked surprised. He nodded, "well kind of at least. My dad used to take me here all the time so i spent alot of time here. They watched me grow up, infact mr. Akabane is who tutored me in math before i met jellal," he said. "So were not really related but theyre my family," he said as he took my hand and started walking to them. "Okay, i understand," i said as we approached them. "Ohh natsu! You brought us a girl, i see!" The woman said happily. "And shes a pretty one too," the man who im assuming is mr. Akabane said. "Guys i already told you-" natsu started to complain, "okay okay were joking!" She said happily. "Hello dearie, im glynda and this is my husband raymond," the woman said politely as she held out her hand. I shook her hand as i spoke, "nice to meet you. My name is ever vargas," i told her. She smiled widely but raymond seemed amazed, "boy!" He yelled at natsu, "you didnt tell me she was the daughter of chef vargas!" He said. 'Here it goes' i thought. Natsu sighed, "gramps, i told glynda. She was the one who didnt tell you," he said jokingly. "Dont you blame this on me!" Glynda retorted. "Well i would love to talk about your dad or his recipes or-" raymond was rambling but his wife cut him off. "Ray this is no time for that!" She slapped his arm. "I had the girls set everything up for you," glynda said as she walked in. The inside was like a zen garden. It was so beautiful there was a small pond with a bridge going over it, cherry blossom trees grew into the building and the seats were set up so that each table had their privacy. "Wow, this is beautiful," i said as i looked around. I almost bumped into the door that glynda was leading us through when natsu grabbed my waist to stop me, "i know its nice but watch where youre walking," he told me. "Sorry- just- observing," i admitted. "Well observe where well be eating," natsu said as he guided me out the door. His hands were still on my hips as i turned forward and looked. It was just a different room of the building but it looked like it was outside in japan. It was an even more intricate zen garden than the one before the pond was larger and it led to a stream going through the middle of the room, the bridge looked like you could actually walk on it and the cherry blossoms were much larger. There was actual grass on the floor, 'dont ask me how' and the walls were painted a sky blue color. the ceiling was even made out of plexiglass so that the sunlight shone in. I stared at the room for a moment before i felt natsu hug me close to him, "like it?" He asked. I was standing there speechless for a moment when glynda spoke up from her spot behind us at the door, "of course she likes it. Shes just staring at it," she said amused. I turned around but natsu was still hugging onto me, "I- im sorry. Its just this is- amazing," i finished. "Very well its 5 o clock now you have until 7." Glynda told us. "Afterwards i want to get to know you a little bit, ever. If you dont mind," she said. "No i dont mind. Thankyou so much," i said. Before walking out she said, "dont thank me. Thank the boy wrapped around your finger," she pointed at natsu. As she did he blushed and burried his head in my neck. Glynda winked at me before shutting the door. "Well they seem nice," i said. "They are. Youll get to love them," natsu said. I turned my body so that i could hug him too. We were hugging for a few moments until he pulled away and spoke, "shall we eat?" He asked as he started walking away. I followed him and he stopped at the biggest cherry blossom in the whole building. There was a blanket laid out with two pillows to sit on. There was a bunch of small containers and candles surrounded the blanket. "Wow they did exactly what i asked!" Natsu said as he sat down. I sat down on the pillow next to him and asked, "so you actually asked them to do all this?" He nodded. "For me?" I asked sheepishly. Natsu put and arm around my shoulder and brought me closer to him as he spoke, "only for you," he said. "So is the food in those containers?" I asked him. He nodded and picked up a few containers and brought them closer to us, "name a japanese food and theyll have it," he said as he grabbed all the containers. "Shrimp teriyaki?" I asked. He looked at a few containers before handing me one that had shrimp teriyaki in it. This went on a couple more times until i could think of anymore japanese foods, "sushi?" "Miso soup?" "Soba noddles?" I eventually ran out of ideas but now i had fourr containers off food in font of me. "Anything else?" Natsu asked me. I shook my head no, "no thats enough, thankyou," i said. "Well ill have the rest-" he said. "Wait did you want some of these? We can share. I wont eat all of this!" I told him. "You just want to share with me~" he said mockingly. "Well- uh- yeah but that not the point. I cant eat all of this. Please help me~" i made my best puppy dog eyes as i asked him. "Well when you ask me like that i cant really say no," he said as he opened the container of sushi. He picked up a piece and held it up to my lips, "here try it. Glynda makes the best sushi." He said. I took a bite and natsu wasnt wrong. This is the best sushi ive ever had. After i took my bite natsu put the rest of it in his mouth and ate it. "So?" He asked while still chewing. "Its is the best sushi." I admitted. For the rest of the meal everytime i tried to eat natsu would feed me and eat whatever i didnt. I told him that he didnt have to do this but he insisted. Finally when we finished eating natsu sat against the tree. "I always love their food," he said happily. "I can tell-" i said jokingly as i laid my head down on his lap. I felt him tense up when i first brought my head down but he calmed down once i sat there for a moment looking up at the sky. I soon realized that instead of looking up at the sky with me natsu was focused on...me. "What are you thinking about?" I asked him. He seemed to snap out of his thought as he answered me, "you." I felt myself blush when he said this. "Ive been thinking..." Natsu trailed off and rubbed the back of his head. I sat up and faced him ready to hear what he was going to say, 'please dont be bad' i thought to myself. "Well um. Would you possibly like to, i dont know go to homecoming with me?" He finally stuttered out. I smiled widely before practically jumping on him and hugging him tight, "of course i will!" I told him happily. He hugged me back and thats when i noticed that i was now fully sitting in his lap. I was about to say something when we heard the door open. Quickly i got off of natsus lap and sat back down next to him, "its seven!" Raymond said as he approached us. "I hope you have room for some tea," glynda said from behind her husband. Natsu stood up and extended his hand to me. After natsu helped me up i asked, "should we clean up?" Glynda giggled a bit, "heavens no!" She told me. "What else would we hire janitors for?" Raymond said. "Now come along," glynda said cheerfully. As they led us out of the room natsu held my hand they took us to behind the front door where there was a staircase. When we got up the steps and raymond opened the door i realized, 'this must be where they live,'. "Welcome to our home," glynda said. "Thankyou for having me," i bowed to her and raymond. "No need to bow dear," glynda told me. "If natsu likes you enough to bring you here than youre alright in my book!" Raymond said as he chuckled. Glynda brought out tea for everyone as we sat around the table talking. I learned that they have two twin daughters named daisy and rose who are only a year older than us. They arent in school but instead have worked here all their lives while being homeschooled. Also, when they first opened this restauraunt natsu and his dad were the first people to come. Since then they have been like one big family. Glynda was the one who taught natsu to dance for his eighth grade dance and raymond has been tutoring him in math since the first grade. Everytime they would ask about me i would tell them about myself and natsu would make it sound so much cooler than it really is. We talked until it was about 830. "You should get going. Dont want to keep the girl out too long," raymond said. "Ill get the cups out of the way. Ever darling could you help me in the kitchen?" Glynda asked me. I nodded and followed her to the kitchen while natsu and raymond sat on the couch. "What can i help with?" I asked. She chuckled, "oh nothing id just like to talk to you for a moment," she said. "So how do you feel about natsu?" She asked me. The question surprised me, "h-how do i feel about - natsu?" I asked. Glynda chuckled again, "no need to be shy dearie, i wont tell a soul. Im simply looking after him," she said. I cleared my throat before speaking, "you dont need to worry. I would never do anything to hurt him. I really do like him... Alot," i said. "Do you love him?" She asked. I was taken aback and clearly flustered by this question. "Do i- l-love him?" Glynda just nodded her head. "Well- i- i dont- i dont know. Maybe. I like him more than i ever thought i could. He makes me feel...i dont know," i finally stuttered out. "Well how does he make you feel?" She asked. I had to think for a moment and dompose my thoughts, 'how does he make me feel?' Finally i spoke, "honestly everything about him makes me smile. When he touches me its like millions of tiny flames erupting. When hes not around i start to get sadder. I never knew someone could affect me so much," i finished. "That sounds like love darling. Now lets get back to the boys," she said as she dried her hands and walked away. 'Love?' When we got back into the room natsu and i said our goodbyes before we left. "They are really nice," i said as we left the building. "Yeah they are. And they seem to like you alot," natsu said. "Good. I wish i couldve met their daughters though," i admitted. "They were probably waitressing," natsu said. "I think its gonna rain," i said noticing the shift in the atmosphere, "whats? Its not gonna-" just as natsu spoke there was a clap of thunder and the rain started to downpour. We quickly ran to the car and got inside. "Told you," i said. Natsu stuck his tongue out at me. Before we drove away he spoke, "crap! I forgot to ask her for the chocolate cupcakes!" He said. I laughed, "i can make cupcakes, you know," i told him. "I know but i dont want to make you do that for me," he said as we drove away. "I know but i want to. Plus it could be alot of fun!" I said. "Lets go to my house and bake!" I said. "You sure?" He asked. I nodded my head. We drove in silence for a while but when we got to my house and parked he asked, "so how we doing this?" He said. "Uh- were gonna get soaked either way so lets just go," i said as i stepped out of the car. It was raining buckets so it was impossible to not get wet. When we got inside we stood on the matt in the entryway dripping. "Um- i can dry your clothes for you," i told him. "Come with me," i lead him upstairs and into my room. When we got in i noticed him looking around. I pulled out his shorts from last week and handed it to him, "sorry- youre shirt isnt clean yet," i told him. "Thats okay," he said. "So um- just turn around for a minute?" I asked him. "Huh? Oh- oh!" He blushed a deep shade of red before turning around. "Ill turn around too so you can get changed," i told him. I peeled off my wet uniform and put on pajama pants and a tanktop. "Can i- turn around?" I asked. Natsu chuckled, "yeah i was done way before you. Slowpoke," he said. I turned around and saw him wearing the shorts i gave back to him without a shirt. I picked his wet clothes off the floor along with mine, "ill dry these," i told him. He followed me downstairs and into the basement. "You have alot of stuff," he said as i put our clothes in the dryer. "Its mostly our dads stuff," i admitted. When we got back upstairs we started baking cupcakes. Well i should say, i was baking while natsu was sitting down watching. When i put the cupcakes in the over i started to clean up. "You can at least help with the cleanup," i told natsu. He sighed before getting up and helping me. I put everything away except for the flour when natsu started to chuckle evilly. "Dont.you.dare." I said to him. He smiled widely before rubbing flour onto my nose. "Youre gonna get it now!" I took a handful of the flour and pegged it at him. We continued to throw flour at eachother until the whole five pound bag was gone and scattered around the kitchen. By the end of our fight natsu was pinning me under him on the floor while i tried to throw more flour at him. He held my hands above my head to stop me. I finally calmed down knowing i couldnt wriggle free. Before i had a momant to think natsu kissed me. His kiss was rough but passionate. I let out a small moan as his tongue entered my mouth and i felt him smirk. This continued for a few minutes until we heard the oven beep. Natsu jumped up, "cupcakes!" He said happily. I took them out of the oven and set them on the counter. "Now you can help me clean, again, while we wait," i told him. Once again he sighed before helping me. We got it cleaned up in about twenty minutes, "okay you can have a cupcake now," i told him. "Yeah but now im too tired," he yawned as he spoke. "Lets go lay down then," i said. We went and laid on the couch. Natsu laid down first and i place myself on top of him so we could both fit. My head was resting on his chest. I grabbed the blanket, unfolded it and put it around us. Natsu held me close to him and his body heat warmed me. "I had alot of fun today," he said, i didnt respond because i could already feel myself falling asleep due to his warmth and his calming touch. He didnt say anything for a few moment and when he did he whispered, "i think i love you," he said quietly. I was half asleep and this made me smile. We held eachother close as we fell asleep. It was a great night.
