A/N: So... That is about as romantic and lemony and dramatic as it will get. Wait, no. It will definitely get more dramatic... hehehe...

I awoke to the smell of coffee in the air. I tried to get out of my bed when my back started to sear in pain. I had to use both hands to get up. When I did, it still hurt and I groaned. 

Where am I? I thought to myself. Then, I remembered last night. It took all of my might not to blush. Just to make sure, I searched my memories. Good, no cloths came off. I think... Yep.  I looked over t my left towards the kitchen.

There stood Natsu, without a shirt, trying to make coffee. He was too tall, and the cabinets blocked his face all I could see was his abs. H-hot, I thought in my head, but immediately shook it

"Natsu?" I asked, groggily.  He stepped out of the kitchen and smiled at me, and I at him. 

"Good morning!" He said, excitedly. "I'm making breakfast this morning." This morning... Oh, dang it! Its Wednesday, which means: school! Natsu saw the worry on my face and explained, "It is fine, I called us both in sick." I made a long exhale.
There was an awkward silence.

"Um... ok..." I replied, not sure on how to respond. He turned around to grab something from my counter. I don't know what is worse, I thought to myself. That he know where everything is, or

H-hot... I shook my head, but couldn't stop my cheeks from heating up.
"What's wrong?" Natsu asked, totally oblivious. "Your cheeks are heating up. Do you have a fever or --"

"O-oh. Um, N-no..." Great! Now I'm stammering! To be honest, I have no clue what is going on. I am confuzled beyond the universe! I never act this way around boys. But I just can't help it! He is just so..... hot.

"Uhhhgggggg!" I groaned, flopping back down on my comfy bed, trying to forget this crazy boy thing.

~Meanwhile~

"How is the mission going?" the voice on the other line asked.
"We have some.... difficulties..." he replied.
"Like what?" the man asked.
"Oh, I think you know." he replied.
"Very well. Do remember the mission?" of course he did, this mission was his life. He started it as only a child. But the man still asked.
"Yes sir. Kill the dragons and their princesses."
"Are you sure you can do it? Knowing that you are fr--"
"Yes sir." he cut the man off.
"Very well. I look forward to meeting you in person."
"Soon."
Gray hung up the phone, and continued on his way home.
