A young salmon haired man shook his sweaty hair around, sweat drops flying everywhere.

"That's disgusting, man! I'll punch you next time you do that!" Another male voice shouted. An empty water bottle hit the side of the pinkette's head.

"It's not my fault I work out, unlike you." Natsu said, throwing the plastic bottle back towards his best friend.

Gray caught the bottle in his hand, shooting it into the recycling bin. "I'm beat, I'm going home."

Natsu laughed. "That was only part of the warmup!" He took a swirl from his own water, then wiped the access sweat off of his glistening body with a towel. "Gotta put in more reps."

"I'll see you later." Gray waved, grabbed his bag and left the boxing gym.

"He's probably just gon' go on another date hoping to get somewhere." He laughed to himself.

Natsu sat for a few more minutes for a breather. Grabbing his iPhone from his gym bag, he read all the notifications on his phone screen.

-Hey babe, when are you coming back?

-Babe

-Babe?!

-Baby, you've been gone forever! I miss you <3

You don't need to go to the gym everyday, spend more time with your own girlfriend.

Natsu let out a hasty groan, quickly texting her back with a few words.

-I'll be done soon, I love you.

He only had to wait for a few mere seconds before his screen lit up again.

-Baby, I love you too <3 I can't wait for you to come back!

Natsu half-smiled, putting his phone back into his bag before he got up to put in another workout.

"Man, I really feel like gettin' fired up to punch somebody." He smirked, cracking his knuckles. He security wrapped the athletic tape around his hands, grabbed his gloves and looked for someone willing to have a few matches against.

After a couple hours, Natsu slammed through his front door completely exhausted. Even though his body was tired, he felt better to know he got a top-notch workout in.

"Babe! I missed you, you've been gone for hours!" A feminine voice yelled from his kitchen.

The scent led him towards the kitchen, seeing his girlfriend baking cookies once again. "Hey, Lis. I'm sorry, but I've been preparing for my fight that's coming up." Natsu said, walking over and kissed her on the cheek.

Lisanna sighed. "I know, but you're always gone, I never get to see you like I used to years ago. It's got me worried." She opened the oven and scooped out the tray of cookies, setting them on the oven.

"Baby," Natsu said, leaning his chin on her shoulder. "I'd never cheat on you, we've been together for almost two years."

"You're always just so focused on fighting instead of me." Lisanna sighed, puckering out her lips in annoyance.

Natsu heavily breathed through his nose. "It's been my passion for ten years, I wanna get better. I don't get why you're so upset."
