The moldy plush toy has a name now, Cery, and lore and a Slime called Rothen. And a theme song. But I haven't decided yet which of my dragons found him.

~~*~~

Bob did not end up sleeping much on the second half of the road trip. You weren't sure if it was the fact that he had been sleeping for a couple hours in the bed of the truck because of the tranquilizer, or if it was because he as excited there was a new person to get familiar with. Or maybe it was the beef jerky.

But he asked all kinds of questions and talked a mile a minute, eager to get to know you.

It was clear that he didnt mean to let on how much he knew about you.

"Wait," you stopped him in the middle of his sentence. He stopped and when you glanced back at him, he was waiting patiently with an attentive smile. "Were you the one who broke in to the office?"

He leaned back, then forward again, his face trying not to reveal anything as he failed miserably in trying to come up with an answer.

"Bob, did you break into an office?" Lena turned to look at him. Alex looked in the rearview mirror at the man in the back seat.

"Well, um," he looked at the ceiling, his hands fidgeting. "I was... i was trying to figure out what kind of work you did."

You sighed. Any other person would have probably attempted a meet-cute and a first date. This guy broke in to your office on a weekend, when the cameras were down, and made a mess but nothing had been stolen.

"I like your desk decorations," Bob offered as an apology.

"How did you know it was my desk?"

"Smelled like you the most." He shrugged. Like that was normal to say.

But then again, even if you didnt wear perfume, he was a werewolf. That made you curious.

"Um... what do i smell like?"

"Oh, you smell great! Like a thunderstorm, so rain and a little static and plants, super earthy and mossy wet," he answered, grinning. "Its great."

Thats not what you expected. None of the scents you wear regularly.

"Very specific," you said evenly, nodding slowly.

He shrugged again. "Everyone's got a specific smell. Although, i think only witches have notes i can really pick out. Weird, huh?"

"What do i smell like?" Alex asked, grinning and glancing in the rearview mirror again.

"Mostly, um, sweat and leather," Bob said. "Sometimes wood."

You and Alex looked at Lena, but she was looking out her window. What she was trying to see in the dark, you werent sure. Even with the high-beam lights, you couldnt see very far.

"Lena smells like-"

"Thats enough," Lena interupted him.

"Ok," Bob sounded disappointed.

"Here we are!" Alex announced, slowing down the truck as a gravel drive appeared to the left of the road, and turned the wheel so the truck turned onto it.

Lena sat up.

"Dont kill Bucky," Alex warned her.

"Im not going to."

"Good," Alex nodded.

The truck bounced along the gravel drive for a few minutes before a large wooden cabin appeared in the distance, with walkways lit up to other, smaller cabins.

Alex parked the truck finally, stopping in front of wide steps to a porch.

"Alright, everyone!" He said, and opened his door. "Bob, this way."

You followed Lena out her door, and put your backpack on your back, before getting your duffle bag from the bed of the truck.

Lena was already at the front door of the cabin and went in, leaving the door open.

You werent sure why she was in such a bad mood. It sounded like, from what you learned from Bob, that they took in "strays" every once in a while, and usually Yelena was welcoming to them.

You guessed it had to do with the fact that you werent anything special. Just some random person who had been followed by their group's werewolf. Someone who did boring work in a cubicle in an office.

Nothing supernatural, or extraordinary. Just normal, ordinary.

Bob waited for you before he went up to the stairs.

"Gets cramped in there," he said, stretching as you approached him.

He was taller than you had guessed. Probably six foot. The sweatshirt he wore rose a little as he lifted his arms and you got a peak at his stomach- or, really, his abs.

Of course the werewolf has abs.

You gave him a quick smile as he gestured to your duffle bag. "Want some help?"

"Ive got it, but thanks," you said.

He gestured, then, to the cabin. "Welcome to our cabin!"

You looked at it and were able to take in some more detail, closer now. There were some lights casting a warm glow on the wooden walls and deck porch and walkways. Hanging from the overhang were some decorations made from twigs and leaves.

"Our last guest made those," Bob said as he noticed your gaze's direction. "Real nice. Protection things, I think."

"Oh," you said softly. "Nice."

"Yep," Bob nodded.

A breeze rattled the decorations against the walls, and Bob looked behind the two of you, locating the setting moon immediately.

"Might have some morning rain," he remarked. He opened the door for you, after Alex had closed it.

You stepped inside and found yourself in a large mudroom, with coats hung up on hooks, and shoes across the floor- some neatly in pairs, some flung across the room.

"On or off...?" You asked, glancing at Bob.

He was slipping off his slides, and wiggled his toes in his socks. "Whatever," he shrugged. "Although most of us take them off."

You decided to take off your shoes, setting them out of the way, sitting neatly together.

Bob passed you to lead you through the room, which led to a hallway.

"Bathroom's that way," he pointed to the right. "We're going this way," he moved to the left.

There was a large family room, or living room. It had a step down to a sitting area, with a big L-shaped couch, alongside an old-looking recliner and a more modern looking one. There was a high vaulted ceiling, and one whole side of the room was windows.

To the opposite wall of the window wall, there was a balcony, or maybe loft. It had a intricately carved wooden railing.

"Lots of wood," you remarked to Bob.

He nodded and shrugged, looking at you like he wasnt sure what to say to that.

You werent sure what you would say, either. You got a little distracted by looking at his face in the better lighting.

He was really cute.

You already thought that, of course, but it could have been the dim light of the truck.

Nope. He was cute.

His hazelnut hair falling into his face a little, blocking his dark eyes. Or maybe they were a dark blue. He looked away, scratching his ear before you could really tell. He gestured toward a sort of kitchen area under the loft. "Kitchen's there," he said.

You yawned as you followed his gesture, seeing Lena at the large refrigerator, grabbing a bottle of water.

"Oh! You're probably tired, huh?" Bob looked at you again. "I can, um, show you around in the morning, if you want."

"That'd be nice," you said, and covered your mouth with your hand as you yawned again. "Where should I, uh, put my stuff?"

"We have an empty cabin, but I dont know if it got cleaned since it was last used," Bob said, and turned back toward the hallway door that you'd come from. "We have a guest room here in the main house, though," he said as he walked toward the door.

You followed, waving to Lena, who's eyes followed you out.

Bob led you down the hallway into a larger entry room that looked like a lobby of a rustic hotel or bed and breakfast. He hurried up the stairs, wood again, that curved upward along a curved wall. As you followed at a more relaxed pace, you looked around the entry room. It looked like a circle, or cylinder, with another fancy chandelier, and you saw a bigger, two door entrance.

How big was this place?

Bob was waiting for you at the top of the stairs. You half wished you had handed him the duffle bag to carry, but now you guessed you were nearly at a spare room.

He smiled as you reached the top.

"All good?"

You nodded, and followed him down the wider hall.

Seemingly out of the shadows, a woman in grey appeared. Light glinted off red jewel accents to her clothes.

"Hello!" She said with a grin. She reached out her hands to take yours.

"Maybe dont take her hands," Bob stopped your hand from meeting the woman's. "This is Ava."

"Hi," you said, trying not to focus on the way Bob's hand felt on yours as he gently pushed it away from Ava's. "I like your outfit."

"Thank you!" She said, and cast a look at Bob. "Bob, I was only going to offer a protection spell."

He shrugged. "Maybe when our new friend had a little more understanding of our world."

Ava frowned, looking between the two of you, but then slowly nodded and looked over you, no smile or softness on her face now. Like she was sizing you up, like she was suspicious. "I see."

It felt weird. The stark difference between her warm welcome contrasted with her careful eye, as if you were a potential threat.

She passed you quickly, avoiding touching you in the wide hallway, but still passing close to you.

It was almost like she was trying to get a sense of you.

"Sorry," Bob offered. "She's... well, its just a weird night, i guess."

"Stranger on a Full Moon, and everything," you nodded, agreeing. As if you knew what that meant.

He chuckled and nodded. "Right, exactly."

At least he thought it made sense.

He continued down the hallway and opened a door, peaking in before opening the door more and stepping inside.

"Here you go," he said, allowing you to pass him as he stood against the door.

The room was large, with a big window to the left of the bed, that *had* to be at least a Queen size.

There was a large dresser on the wall to the right of the bed.

"There's a, um, a bathroom just through the door there," he pointed to the door which was in the wall opposite the head of the bed.

There wasnt much decor in the room, but the curtains were a rich green and the light fixture was hanging from a ceiling fan. The wooden headboard and footboard of the bed was again carved just as beautifully as the rest of the woodwork in the house. The ceiling slanted downward toward the window wall of the room.

"I'm going to try and make the spare cabin I mentioned earlier ready for you," he said as you stepped into the room and set down your duffle bag. "But if you prefer this room, thats ok too."

You glanced at him as you closed the curtains. He had his hands behind his back, his shoulders against the door. His eyes had followed you as you got to the center of the room, putting your bag on the bench at the end of the bed, and now at the curtains.

"Thanks, Bob," you said.

"Sure," he nodded, smiling. Then he straightened up, hand still on the handle of the door as he moved so his back was toward the hallway. "Sleep in as much as you want, if you need anything just, uh, let me know."

"Ok," you nodded, then walked back to your bag and looked for your pajamas.

"Sorry I ate all your jerky," he said, as if he was looking for an excuse to stay and talk with you a little longer.

"Its ok," you shrugged. "Being a wolf takes a lot of energy, huh?"

"Yeah," he chuckled. "Also the transformation."

"Did you- have, um, clothes in the truck?"

"Oh! Yeah. Transformation really ruins my best outfits," he said and pointed at you with finger guns. He laughed at himself and looked at the floor as he tucked hair behind his ear. "That was dumb."

"It was cute," you laughed, lifting your pajama shirt out of your bag and tossing it on the bed. You put a hand on your hip as you turned to look at him, covering your mouth with your other hand. "Goodnight, Bob."

"Right! Good night! Sleep well!" He gave you a thumbs up and another dorky smile as he closed your door, then opened it again right away. "I'd suggest maybe, um, locking the door, since youre in here, and Bucky may not know you're here yet, and he's not good aboug boundaries. I mean! Hes- he's fine! Hes just, like, a little. Much?"

"I'll lock the door, Bob," you nodded, looking for your pajama shorts.

"Ok. Good. Goodnight!" He repeated, and closed the door.

You guessed he might have stood there for a moment, since you heard soft footsteps a couple minutes after the door clicked shut.

You changed into your comfier clothes and then locked the door, and went to the bathroom for your nighttime routine.

~*~

You didnt get through your whole routine, instead feeling far more tired than you expected after brushing your teeth.

The bed was big but comfortable, and the temperature of the room was just right for you to sleep well through the night.

Morning light peaked through the curtains, crossing your face on the soft pillow.

You stared up at the ceiling for a few moments, waking up and processing yesterday.

Your mind kept wandering to Bob's comfortable presence, and his dorky smile.

Something that you couldnt shake, though, was Ava's suspicion toward you after Bob implied the truth of the matter; That you were just a human, being brought into this other world that you definitely didnt belong to or in.

Maybe you'd get the chance to explain your invitation to the cabin this morning, you thought, as you sat up in the bed.

You did your morning routine before getting dressed and opening the door, taking in the hallway.

It was still dark, with no windows directly in the hallway. There were a few sky lights casting the hall in soft morning light, and with that light you could see the pictures on the walls.

Bob was in nearly every picture, and Alex and Lena seemed to be in many, too. They looked like family pictures. Pictures of celebrations, too, here and there. There were more protection symbols, like the ones outside, but these being inside looked far more like decoration.

You made a mental note to ask about that later.

You rested your hand on the guardrail as you made your way down the stairs and walked back to the first hallway you'd seen, taking in the grandeur of the entry room in the daylight. There was a circular table in the middle of the circular room, with four figurines with their backs to each other.

The original hallway was pretty bare, compared to the one upstairs.

You smelled breakfast before you found the living room. Alex and Bob were in the kitchen, talking about something. Lena was sitting in the old recliner, feet tucked up carefully under her.

"Hi!" Bob greeted you.

Lena looked up from the book she was reading and actually smiled at you.

Maybe she has just been tired yesterday.

You waved to Bob and Alex as you moved toward them, not having to step down from the entrance of the room.

"What're you making?"

"Some breakfast sausage," Bob told you, and checked the mentioned sausages on the pan in front of him. "Do you want any?"

You shrugged. "What kind are they?"

"Deer," Alex said.

Well, that was a little rugged. "I'll try one," you decided.

"We have some cereal and toaster waffles," Alex continued, gesturing to the rest of the kitchen. "Whatever you'd like. Make yourself at home."

You decided on the toaster waffles with your deer sausage that Bob very carefully put on your plate, giving you a quick, stressed smile as he returned his attention to getting the rest of them and putting a couple more on the pan.

You glanced at the clock on the wall and saw it was earlier than you expected. You werent sure when you went to bed, but you felt well rested as you put butter on your toasted waffles.

A door closed and you heard bootsteps on the wood floor. You turned in your tall stool-chair settled at the counter of the kitchen as the hair rose on the back of your neck.

You didnt have to even see him before you knew that the new person was the group's vampire.

The man had dark hair, about the same length as Bob's. He took off sunglasses and you were surprised he wasn't dust as he stood in the sunlight.

"Hi," he smiled charmingly at you. He made his way toward you as he took off the light weight, black hoodie. "You must be the stray they dragged in last night."

"I'm guessing you're Bucky," you said, surprised your voice didnt sound firm. Then again, the feeling of this guy charged the room and as he approached, it felt like a chilly stormfront wind had swept through the room.

He was well aware of the goosebumps on your arms, his eyes lingering on your exposed skin. He hummed as he passed you to stand by Bob.

Bob flashed a glare at Bucky as the vampire picked up a sausage straight from the pan and took a bite.

"You're getting good at that," Bucky patted Bob's back.

Bob rolled his eyes.

"Pretty good, huh?" Bucky asked, looking at the sausage on your plate and then up at you.

You didnt like looking him in the eye. It got colder when you did.

"Bucky, relax." Alex had a warning tone. How he was steady looking Bucky right in the eye, you werent sure.

"Can you blame me, Alexei?" Bucky asked, challenging the hunter. "We dont know this stray."

"If i remember correctly, *you're* the one who brought in the last threat," Bob said sharply. His voice was low and the first real threat in the conversation.

Bucky didnt have anything to say to that.

The chill in the room subsided as the vampire seemed to back down and look you over again. "Tight knit," he said.

"I can tell," you shrugged. You didnt feel like your casual really fit as a response, but it also didnt feel like you were the one who was supposed to forgive his abrasive entrance.

There was a little more tension in the air, but at least it wasnt choking. You ate your breakfast as Alex started a new conversation, with occasional comments from the other men in the kitchen. You watched as Bucky made a plate, but instead of eatting it himself, he brought it to Lena, who quietly thanked him and ate the food as Bucky sat on the couch.

The final family member appeared at your side suddenly, making you jump in your seat. You laughed nervously and put a hand over your heart. "Hi, Ava," you said.

She looked like she was trying to decide about you.

"Um...?" You werent sure what to say.

"Why are you lying?"

Thats not what you expected. You frowned, and laughed nervously again. "What- what would I be lying about?"

"You're not human."

Was that an insult or a compliment?

Considering the deepening shadows of the room that you noticed as you looked at Bob and back to her, it was clearly more a threat.

"I- i definitely am," you said. "I'm pretty sure."

"Are you saying I'm no witch, then?" She scoffed. She leaned forward and spoke in a language you hadnt heard since before your grandmother passed. A language you forgot you knew, or at least, had hear before. "It takes one to know one," she said in the tongue.

You got off the stool, standing firmly, feeling more rooted than you expected to. Your heart was racing, but not from fear. There was a sense of exhilaration in the confrontation.

"I'm not what you think i am," you responded, and realized you'd spoken in the same language.

She laughed, standing down. The shadows softened. The charge of the encounter subsided. "Your grandmother, hmm?"

You didnt know what to say and stepped back.

A light rain started pattering against the glass.

"Oh..." Bob said softly, and when you looked at him, he was looking out the window.

You looked out the window, too, and saw the rain.

"What?" You asked in English, feeling uncomfortable with everyone else's eyes on you.

"You're *definitely* not human," Ava said in English. "You're a witch. Just, not like me."

"Like what?"

"What do you think?" Bucky asked, now standing, too. "It was sunny before... that."

"The weather has *nothing* to do with me."

Ava laughed again. "Are you sure about that?"

You didnt like the uneasy feeling that was stirring your stomach. You really didnt want to see what the waffle tasted like... the other way.

Your head felt dizzy, and you sat back down on the stool chair. "Uh-oh."

Not exactly what you had expected to happen today.

The Music of Faustsele: Closing Statement

Intro | Previous

I want to start my closing statement for this whole series by showing the breakdown of where all these songs came from.

Kenshi Yonezu has released five albums under his real name. Those albums are: -diorama: a concept album about a desert town on the back of a catfish which is later flooded by rain and seemingly abandoned. A consistent theme throughout the songs is that everyone in the town is not living their best life. -YANKEE: an album that has a running theme of "curses" as stated in interviews with Yonezu. -Bremen: an album inspired by the fairy tale of "Town Musicians of Bremen" and with contrasting songs that interact like light and dark (Yonezu's example is "Metronome" being a goodbye while "Blue Jasmine" is a frank love song). -BOOTLEG: an album that seems to have a theme of "connectedness." Yonezu has also commented that many of the songs are him playing with the concepts of originality and homage (as several are songs written for other media or are inspired by other music genres). -STRAY SHEEP: an album with the motif of a crystal, the idea being that of damaged things still being beautiful as gems are cut (thus damaged) when used by humans.

Some of the songs come from Yonezu's singles. One song was released outside of an album and single. Now to see which songs in each ship playlist came from where.

..........

Faustsele

Eine Kleine (YANKEE album) Flowerwall (Bremen album) Orion (BOOTLEG album) Spring Thunder (BOOTLEG album) Sight for Sore Eyes (YANKEE album) Lemon (STRAY SHEEP album) Donut Hole (YANKEE album) Melancholy Kitchen (YANKEE album) Love (exclusive release with Yonezu’s book “Monster Encyclopedia”) WOODEN DOLL (YANKEE album) 5 - YANKEE, 1 - Bremen, 2 - Bootleg, 1 - STRAY SHEEP, 1 - non-album exclusive

Remember how the motif of the YANKEE album was "curses." Not my intention but I find it interesting how Josele, who is literally cursed, takes most of her songs from an album centered on that theme.

.....

Morgsele

Jade Wolf ("orion" single) Placebo (STRAY SHEEP album) Canary (STRAY SHEEP album) Fireworks (BOOTLEG album) Night Bugs on a Rainy Street (Bremen album) Spot the Difference (STRAY SHEEP album) Monster's March (BOOTLEG album) Spirit of the Sea (STRAY SHEEP album) 1 - Bremen, 2 - Bootleg, 4 - STRAY SHEEP, 1 - non-album exclusive

Morgen's songs mostly coming from STRAY SHEEP is fitting as he is the black sheep of the family, strayed from their devil practices. He's also like a gem, hurt by his family's secret but still able to shine brilliantly.

.....

Nacsele

Headless Cuckoo (diorama album) Cinderella Gray (Bremen album) Love and Fever (diorama album) Mirage Song (Bremen album) Vivi (diorama album) Metronome (Bremen album) Paper Flower ("Lemon" single) Santa Maria (YANKEE album) Sunflower (STRAY SHEEP album) Pale Blue ("Pale Blue" single) Horse and Deer (STRAY SHEEP album) Nighthawks (BOOTLEG album) Blue Jasmine (Bremen album) 3 - diorama, 1 - YANKEE, 4 - Bremen, 1 - Bootleg, 2 - STRAY SHEEP, 2 - non-album exclusives

It's appropriate that Nacht is the only one to have songs from "diorama" since those songs are about people being miserable and Nacht is just... really sad. In the end, he has one more song from Bremen, which is an amazing coincidence given his devils' inspiration.

And here is the final percentage breakdown of how many songs came from each source.

By one song, STRAY SHEEP has the biggest presence with Bremen and YANKEE tied for second.

With that now done, let me share my final closing thoughts...

I'll admit that some of the song connections stretch a little. Not every word fits but that'd be impossible to get as the songs weren't written for my ships in mind.

And I know it looks like Nacsele is favored above Morgsele in the amount of songs, but Yonezu has a lot more songs which address feelings of loss, sadness, frustration which lends better to Nacht's perspective. I could definitely expand Morgen's playlist by looking at songs beyond Yonezu's work but who knows when that might happen.

I really love Kenshi Yonezu's work. I was listening to his songs on loop long before I ever found the translations of the songs and was able to connect them to my ships. And now that I've made those connections, I love Yonezu's work and my ships even more.

Nacht and Morgen are my favorite characters in Black Clover. Not just because they're handsome. What I really love about them is their themes, together and apart. Morgen is a character about kindness for the sake of itself and how a good person can inspire others (what Morgen did for Yami). Nacht's story is about redemption, forgiveness towards oneself, and the importance of honest communication (something he lacked with both Morgen and Yami). And together, they tell a story about unconditional love (despite their differences, they were family who loved each other) and what it means to be good, whether it is something innate and can't be sullied or something that can be learned after mistakes are made.

Josele is an oc of mine who've I put so much time and love into. She's one of a few ocs who I've really put through the wringer before putting her on the path to healing and a happy ending. Her character and journey is about the importance of emotions (obviously) and connections to other people. Cutting herself off from others is what led to her curse and it's by making connections with the Black Bulls that she's able to be herself again. I want to explore how she interacts with the Bulls in the future because most of the content about Josele is also in relation to the Fausts. But as this project shows, they're kind of a major factor in her life. Josele is probably my best and favorite oc because there's just a lot going on with her.

When it comes to Yonezu's work, I'd definitely call it my comfort music. Despite so many of the songs having melancholy or dark themes, others have loving and hopeful themes. I listen to Yonezu's music and I'm reminded that other people have feelings of being insufficient or disconnected from the rest of the world but also that connections exist and there are things of beauty. Even though I've heard them so many times, I still tear up at some of them. Because the emotions expressed and the stories told touch my heart. And they've become even more special to me now that I've been able to connect them with something in my fandom experience.

Working on this project has been kind of a journey for me. At first, I was content just knowing for myself how these songs suited my ships. I think a part of me was also a little defensive, too. Like, I was afraid that if I talked about Yonezu's music on my blog, then the safety/comfort I got from the songs would be diminished. I felt as if others knowing about Yonezu's work would mean they were taking it away from me. I quickly realized I was being stupid, but I didn't think I could pull off a project of this size. Thankfully, with some encouragement from a friend, I went through with making this project. To just ramble about why these songs suit my ships. To let people know about an artist that I love so much. Sometimes I hit writer's block, unable to put my thoughts on the screen, or I just didn't have the energy to form coherent thoughts. I kind of think my thoughts as I've written them still aren't perfectly comprehensive and there's a lot of repetition but that's how it turned out.

Ultimately, this is my comfort music and my comfort ships brought together by my passion for both. I'll probably never do a big project like this ever again because... I just get that feeling.

If you read the series (as a whole or just part of it), thank you for your time. If you didn't, then I'm wondering why you're reading this post.

Anyways, thank you for your time and for indulging my brain rot.

rating: t+ for sexual joking, swear words, and mild smut later on

pairings: nalu, gajevy, gruvia

characters: natsu, lucy, gajeel, levy, gray, juvia

summary: Finding herself thrown out and drunk after a party wasn’t the way Lucy expected her night to go. After blacking out and waking up in a room with three men, she has a decision to make: will she stay or will she go? Loosely based on New Girl. Roommates!AU

When Lucy awoke, she was being carried by Natsu into his truck where he would take her home. She wasn’t sure if she had been passed out for minutes or hours, but by the looks on the faces of the rest of the women in the room, Lucy had been out for a while.  Thankfully she had sobered up by the time Natsu got there to the point that she remembered that she had realized her feelings for him.

It seemed like things really could get worse than she thought they could.

“Luce,” he said, and she looked up. “We’re getting you insurance tomorrow so you can go see a psychiatrist.”

His eyes were firm but his tone was gentle, and she noticed that his red hoodie pressed against his muscles quite nicely. Lucy’s pulse quickened, and she fought a flush. Wow, he really had her hooked.

As he buckled her into the car, the warmth of his skin comforted her. Her anxiety that she had before dissipated; Natsu was here now and there was nothing to fear. She felt safe while his pine cologne infused with the air, and she had driven with him before. Lucy was going to be okay.

“You wanna stop for food on the way back?” Natsu asked, throwing his arm over the back of the seat so then he could back out of the driveway. Lucy wished for a moment that his arm would sling around her instead, but shook the stray thought away.

“Sure, that sounds good,” Lucy said as she felt her stomach rumble for the first time in a while. No food in her stomach could make her anxiety spike. Sometimes she had anxiety with just how hungry she was after not eating for hours while she wrote.

“Great, cause I’m starving! Fast food breakfast sound good enough to you? They got the good stuff in the morning,” Natsu said with a grin that brought a shock to Lucy’s brain.

“Whatever you want,” she said, and Natsu looked at her strangely but shook it off and began to drive to the fast food joint.

Once there, Natsu ordered six breakfast sandwiches and three hashbrown patties and one apple pie accompanied by four glasses of orange juice before turning to Lucy and asking what she wanted. Sheepishly she stepped up and ordered her meal and made a beeline for the table.

The woman called their number and told them to have a nice day before staring at Natsu like he was an idiot for buying so much food. But the man took his food without a care and walked over to Lucy and began wolfing down his food like he hadn’t eaten in years.

“So what happened after I passed out?” Lucy asked while sipping her own orange juice. Natsu chomped down the rest of his fourth breakfast sandwich before replying.

“Well,” he said, taking a bite of hashbrows and wiping his mouth of the grease, “Levy called me an’ I picked up and told her that I wasn’t Iron Brains, so there was no sense in talking to me.”

Lucy chuckled at his quip, and listened for him to continue.

“I just clocked off work when she told me that you passed out, so I beat cheeks over here so I could take care of you,” Natsu took a sip of one of his orange juices and then his milkshake he ordered after all the rest of his food.

Lucy’s eyes widened at his kindness. He drove all the way from Crocus just to take care of her anxiety attack?

“T-Thank you, Natsu,” she said softly, peering down at her breakfast sandwich.

“Naw, it was nothin. I would do anything for a friend!”

Friend. The word rang in her ears, and Lucy’s eyes almost filled up with tears. That’s all she would ever be to him. Just someone like Gray or Levy or Gajeel. A close friend.

She couldn’t bear thinking of him with someone else. It hurt her heart and soul to know that maybe he had dated or loved other people in his life.

Lucy’s stomach turned sour and her blood ran cold. “I’m not hungry anymore.”

“What? Are you oka--”

“I said I’m not hungry, okay?” Lucy snapped, and Natsu’s eyes flicked to hers quickly.

“O-Okay, Luce. Let’s go home,” he said, grabbing his hoodie he had taken off during their jaunt in the restaurant.

The ride home was silent. Lucy’s arms were folded across her chest and she looked out the window. It was raining.

Apparently things could get even worse.

As soon as they arrived home, Lucy practically jumped out of the car and bolted into the apartment to take a shower. She wanted to cleanse herself of these feelings. She hated them. She hated him!

Lucy growled as she scrubbed away the makeup off her face and the grime off her hair, making sure to wash any scent of Natsu off of her. She would smell like lilacs and peonies now. Nothing like Natsu who friend-zoned her.

When out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around her head and another around her body, beginning to start the short walk to her room where she would towel off and give herself a spa day. She needed it after everything that happened.

As soon as her walk started, it ended. She walked into a wall that she hadn’t seen before and fell over screaming. She didn’t want to knock out again, especially in a damn towel!

“Why are you naked?” Natsu yelled, and she realized something.

He was underneath her. And her towel had dropped.

Lucy screamed louder than she ever had in her life, her vocal cords beginning to ache. Natsu sat up and rubbed his head and then stared at her.

Well he certainly didn’t expect her to be that...pink.

“Don’t look at me, you perv!” Lucy screamed, covering her body with her hands and arms And soon his ogling was over when he felt a kick to the face, knocking him out.

Lucy ran to her room with a flushed face after picking up her towel, her heart rate picking up faster than it had been in a while. She threw herself on her bed with a groan, annoyed that she had to run into her freaking crush like that.

Great, now he would never want to date her.

“You two are amazingly quiet,” Gray commented at dinner as Natsu and Lucy looked anywhere but each other. It was humorous at what lengths they would use to avoid each other’s gazes. Lucy looked beyond Natsu’s head at the coo-coo clock. Natsu looked at Gray’s face with an angry stare but said nothing.

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they bange--” Gajeel began, but Lucy’s face turned red. Natsu’s tinged pink, and they continued their anti-eyetag.

“D-Don’t say another word!” Lucy said as she slurped down the rest of her clam chowder and practically threw her dishes in the sink and headed to her room, slamming the door with a bang.

“Well. Looks like you’re doing the dishes tonight, Salamander. I don’t think Blondie’s gonna be coming out of her room anytime soon,” Gajeel said as he looked at Natsu evenly.

“Yeah, sure,” Natsu said quietly before rinsing out his dishes and leaving them in the sink before resuming the game he was currently playing.

Anything to get his mind of Lucy.

It was torturing him. He’d only seen a girl’s body once before, and he had been seven when he had accidentally walked in on his little cousin Wendy changing. He hadn’t looked for half a second before closing the door and running off with a yell of ‘Gross!’

But Lucy’s body was definitely not gross. It was beautiful. He was entranced by her, but he definitely didn’t want to take advantage. In fact, he wanted to forget it ever happened. Lucy was his friend!

Did he really just want to be friends with her, or did he want something more? Natsu wasn’t as hot-blooded as the other two guys in their apartment, but they didn’t seem as interested in Lucy as he was. They saw her more as a friend. And Natsu wanted to see her like that too, but it was so hard now that he had seen, well, all of her!

He shook the image from his mind and continued along with the game for a few hours before doing the dishes and heading to bed. Changing into his pajamas quickly, he got under the covers and tasted her name once more on his tongue.

“Lucy.”

Lucy awoke quickly in the morning, showering and getting dressed in the bathroom just in case the fiasco from yesterday happened again. From now on, she was changing in the bathroom only. She hoped that he had enough common sense not to bother her there…

She found Natsu making eggs for her in the kitchen, and the both of them sat quietly eating their breakfasts.

“Nice day,” Natsu said, looking outside.

“Yes.”

“You mind if I play my game after I eat?”

“No, go ahead. I was going to write a little while before going to work,” Lucy said, rinsing off her dishes this time and placing them in the sink for her to do later. It was her night to do dishes, and she felt bad for not doing them the night before.

Lucy outlined and wrote half the chapter of her continuing story before she heard her alarm go off, reminding her that it was twenty minutes before it was time to go. Lucy headed to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, combed her hair once more, and applied a little makeup before saying goodbye to Natsu and heading out the door.

Natsu realized that she had forgotten her lunch once again, and he made a mental note to bring it to her later. Hopefully they would have a better conversation than they had this morning.

As Natsu completed the game and turned on the next one, the start of the intro reminded him of Lucy. It was a story about a princess that was trapped by an evil creature, and a knight of sorts that was supposed to save her. The only thing that the knight had, however, was a love for smashing pots and finding boulders that would roll after him to crush him. He played the game with fervour, and the princess quite reminded him of Lucy herself.

When he finished up the first part of the game he realized that he hadn’t taken a shower of his own this morning, and that he would probably have to before he went to bring Lucy her lunch. He jumped into the shower and bathed himself clean before changing into clean clothes. He made her a sandwich and some soup for her lunch and hoped that she would like it. Natsu wasn’t as much of a cook as Gajeel or Lucy was, but he still enjoyed cooking every now and again.

Especially when it was for someone he cared for.

Natsu shook the thought away, slapping himself gently a few times to try to train his brain not to think of these thoughts. He had one broken engagement before, and he was afraid that this would lead to that again. Not that he really thought of marrying Lucy. Well, at least not yet…

The thought alone of being engaged scared him a bit, so he jumped in his car and turned up the music to clear his thoughts on his way to Lucy’s shop. Natsu wanted to be rid of these horrible thoughts before he made it.

Once there, he hopped out of his truck, lunch in hand and smiled as he walked in.

Lucy grinned as she spotted him, and she helped another customer with a smile before receiving her lunch from him.

“Thank you, Natsu. I knew I was forgetting something when I left this morning!” she giggled, and the tinkling sound sounded perfect to his ears.

She was perfect.

And he was not.

“Is Natsu here for Lucy? Why don’t Natsu and Lucy go out to eat in the courtyard? It is where all the couples go. Juvia hopes to go one day with her Gray-sama,” Juvia said, clasping her hands together and looking up in the air with a blissful look on her face.

“Uh, no, Juvia. That’s okay. Natsu was just leaving. He doesn’t want to go to the courtyard with me. Right, Natsu?” Lucy asked as she took a bite of her sandwich and stared into his eyes.

Natsu turned and looked at the courtyard outside the window. It was beautiful outside for fall, and there were a few leaves still dangling off the trees of different autumn colors. The sun shone lightly, and it was the perfect temperature. It seemed like the perfect spot and time for a date.

But, he realized as he looked at her smiling and talking with Juvia as she ate her sandwich, she didn’t want that. She didn’t like him like he liked her. And she never would. Who would like him after what he did?

“No, I was just leaving. See ya,” he said with a forced smile and a hand raised in the air as a goodbye.

Lucy and Juvia waved back to him before beginning to animatedly talk again, Juvia about Gray and Lucy about how good the sandwich was.

But as Natsu’s back turned, Lucy looked back on him in hope. She really wanted to go to the courtyard with him. He didn’t want to go with her, and that was that. He just wanted to go get some more sleep before his night shift and was just being nice by dropping off her lunch.

Because who could love her after what Dan did to her?
