Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

🇯🇵28

The day where it was only a week till school started again, Lucy was running around everywhere trying to get this or that done. Especially since she had work piling up again and again like there was no tomorrow. She has food to cook, laundry to do, school work to do, files to file, and take care of Natsu who just messes everything up if he even tries to help. The only thing he could probably do was sit on the couch and watch television since that was the only thing he didn't break or mess up, yet.

Lucy hated that fact she wasted almost three months in a coma and since Lisanna gave birth too, she's been checking up on her too.

It was a hard time for her and everyone else and it was harder since Mirajane decided to room with them till her last day in Magnolia which was two weeks.

"Lucy! You're out of soap again! I think you should buy some more!" Mirajane sang from upstairs as Lucy chopped up some vegetables with Natsu, the blonde huffing as Natsu chuckled at her. He dumped the chopped up vegetables in a pot as he kissed her cheek before running upstairs, shouting at Mirajane to not touch whatever she was touching.

Lucy didn't even know why Mirajane decided to live with her when her old house was just a mile or two away. Maybe it was because Lance and the whole Dreyer family were there but it didn't give her an excuse to stay at her place.

She said something about 'bonding' and missing Natsu was some reason... but it drove her insane.

The model, indeed, was her role model and Lucy loved her. But she could get a bit annoying at times since she didn't know where things were and most of the time; she barged in like it was normal thing.

She walked in on them during one of their sexy times and Lucy was scarred. Never would she have thought the Mirajane who posed for the biggest magazine blogs would be this difficult to handle. Maybe it was because her younger sister was married before her and gotten a kid... while she was running around the world taking pictures for her job and getting dumped almost every week.

Natsu did say the most she could do in a relationship was a month—could that be a reason why she was depending on her so much?

"Lucy! What are you making there? Smells delicious!" Mirajane exclaimed as she popped in, smiling widely as she opened the top of the pot to look inside. She gasped when she noticed it was beef stew, making her eyes twinkle. "Lucy... how'd you know I love beef stew?!"

"N—Natsu suggested we make beef stew, actually..." Lucy laughed as she cut the potatoes into halves as Natsu walked in, getting glomped the second he was there. He held onto the famous model who cried tears of joy, sighing in process. "M—Mira... you okay there?"

"Natsu, I'm so happy you remembered I love beef stew!"

"Well that was the only thing you would cook for us long time ago so..." He trailed off as he pried the woman off himself. He grabbed her shoulders and smiled at her. "You should go dry your hair—you'll catch a cold."

"Oh Natsu, why can't I find someone like you? So caring and nice... why can't I keep a boyfriend?!" She started to cry making Lucy and Natsu cringe.

Lucy put down her knife as she walked on over to Mirajane, smiling at her. "Mira, I think you're just really emotional over everything that's happened for the past couple months so why don't you go rest?"

"But I want beef stew..."

"I promise we'll leave some for you too. Okay?"

"Okay... you're the best, Lucy... I envy you too, Natsu." Mirajane mumbled as she rubbed her eyes and walked back on upstairs to the guest room. Once she disappeared and they heard the closing of her door, Lucy let out a deep sigh as she looked on over at Natsu who shrugged sheepishly. "I know she can be a handful but you get used to her."
