The Beginning Of Luke And Nashi Dragneel

Ch 13

~3rd POV~

"Luke, Nashi, we're going to my place."

The twins turned their heads to the direction of the voice, only slightly surprised by their father who was hovering over them.

"Oh, okay." 

"Cool, one-second Natsu-san," Luke asked, adding an honorific just in case he was that type of guy.

"Just call me Natsu, skip the formalities," Natsu instructed, walking to the door quickly with his hands stuffed in his pockets. "Just be quick, it's getting dark."

"Sure thing Natsu," Nashi assured, swiftly turning back to her new found friends, "Bye Storm-kun, Gale, Leif-san, Nova-san, Sylvi-chan, Reiki-kun, Charlotte-chan, Carrie-chan, Rick-kun, and Emma-chan," Nashi hurriedly bid goodbye, while also catching her breath from the many names.

"Uh... What she said. Bye, Gale," He scurried over to the door. 

Suspiciously, everyone turned to the green haired girl, "Looks like someone's got a crush," Nova snickered at the blushing iron mage.

"Shat up," Gale growled back, lowering her face into her ripped blouse slightly with pink-tinted cheeks.

~At Natsu and Happy's Cottage~

"Alright, welcome to our humble abode! Whatever that means..." Natsu introduced his small home gleefully, opening the door roughly.

Immediately, the twins' noses were met with the terrible stench of dirty clothes, fish, and old food. Everything in the house was dirty or extremely old due to the fact that Natsu and Happy rarely ever went home, let alone cleaned it.

"Now, I know it's a bit of a fixer-upper, but trust me, we'll barely be here anyway," Natsu tried reasoning to calm the twins' shocked expressions which were accompanied by a continuous trembling and shudders. "Guys, Luck, Nacho?"

The two of them snapped out of there fear-induced  trance, "Luck?"

"Nacho?" 

Both of them were confused on the names he'd said that definitely wasn't theirs. 

Nashi and Luke both put on their determined faces, slightly puffing out their chest and standing like soldiers, "We will take care of this... monstrosity for you and Happy-san..."

"Aye, Happy works just fine too," the blue neko suggested.

"Okay, Happy," Nashi smiled at Natsu and Happy.

Natsu stared, her smile was so warm and familiar, it made his chest ache and reminded him of someone. 'Luce,' he thought, placing his fist over his heart slightly, looking away from the young pinkette.

"Eh, okay. Ne, Happy, wanna go fishing for a bit?" Natsu nudged Happy softly, tilting his head a little towards the door of there cabin. 

"Sure Natsu, be careful where you step guys!" the flying blue cat giggled as he fluttered out the door, "Wonder what's got Natsu's panties in a twist..."

"Oi, I don't wear panties!" 

"Sure..."

Once the two were out the door, the twins got to work. When they lived in Runaway Village, they took care of there house a lot, no sweat. But Natsu and Happy's house was going to take some serious effort.

Nashi started with picking up all the laundry that desperately needed to be washed, while Luke put all the dishes into the already full and disgusting sink and onto the counter. Once those two things were done, Luke swept while Nashi made a make-shift mop from an old shirt and a stick she found somewhere. The two of them didn't know how two people could be so messy, especially if the two weren't even at home most of the time. The two of them washed and continued to clean small things here and there, arranging things neatly while dusting and moving furniture and other stuff around. Removing a curtain that was far past disgusting, they found what seemed to be a bulletin board covered in memories.
