Arc 1: Chapter Three: Too Good To Be True, But It's True

Like you're too cool-cool
I don't believe that it's true, still

Natsu laughs at Lucy. "Hurry up and get sober Luce. You have a book signing and I wanna take you to dinner tonight. Think of it as me and you spending your birthday alone." Says Natsu, handing her some water and medicine.

"Y-Yeah." Says Lucy taking the medicine.

"I'm gonna take a shower..." trails off Lucy standing up. "Can-"

"No way," says Lucy grabbing a towel and slamming the door shut. "It's not like we haven't before!" He says and Lucy can hear his smirk. "Wait downstairs!" She yells before starting the water.

Have they really had sex before? She asks herself, but if they really were together for five years, she was sure that in Hawaii that's probably all they had done.

But she had to think. Would she just continue to pretend? Continue to play this worlds little game? She sure was enjoying it...so...she might as well go with what the world had given her.

Lucy placed a towel on herself as she walked out of the bathroom, and Natsu gladly wasn't in there. She grabs her phone and is even more surprised when she sees that her lockscreen was a picture of her and Natsu on a beach together, kissing.

"I guess I'll get used to this..." she mumbles staring at the picture in awe as she goes to her Instagram to see even more. 

Lucy sighs as she puts her phone aside. She had to get dressed.

It was July, so Lucy decided to dress in a jean skirt and a pink top, putting her hair in a ponytail as she came downstairs, and as soon as she's downstairs the smell of good food hits her.

He was in that Top 10 Men You Should Make Your Husband magazine. She tells herself, remembering how she had watched his interview and how good he was of an husband.

She defiantly could get used to this.

"It smells good," says Lucy coming into the kitchen. Natsu wraps his arms around her, inhaling her scent. "So do you," he says making Lucy blush.

"Thank you for taking care of me." Says Lucy, relaxing into the hug. It was so comforting.

"No problem Luce. I'm usually the one to take care of you anyway, especially since you can't cook at all." He says.

"Mood killer." She mumbles but he hears anyway. "And I can cook." She says.

"If you call boiling hot dogs and microwaving ramen cooking then yeah, sure." Says Natsu, not lying.

The world didn't wanna change that either did they?

"Let's just eat breakfast. I have to go soon." Says Lucy.

After breakfast Lucy headed out, and while at her book signing she met up with Levy, who was her publisher.

"You And Natsu do anything last night? You were the drunkest I've ever seen you and you couldn't keep your hands off him." Says Levy with a laugh afterwards.
