  The pinkette stares at the beauty's soft expression, easily memorizing her delicate features. "Why are you so beautiful...?" He inquires rhetorically, moving a lock of hair from the shadow of her eyelids. "Yet...so hideous?" He mutters lowly, caressing her cheek. "..The least you could do, is insult me when I'm awake, Mister." She mumbles as her eyelids flutter open.

  His cheeks flush red as he hastily looks away. "Forget I said anything!" He rises from the couch and walks towards his dresser, hastily opening one of the drawers. "Wear this until we go to get you new clothes." He hands her a leather jacket and a tee-shirt, beginning to search for a pair of leather pants. "When did you get all this...?" She asks as she sits up to try on the jacket, which, to her surprise, fit to her exact measurements..down to the very last number.

  "I told you, I know everything about you. It's been that way for a while now actually. I would gotten more clothes but, rather than giving you no form of freedom of choice, I decided go focus on work." He shrugs as he throws her a pair of brand name skinny jeans, that collided straight into her face. "Azz~howle.." She murmurs, muffled through the jeans. Removing them from her face, she steps into one leg, then the other, balancing herself so she wouldn't fall. She grins triumphantly and tugs the pants up on her waist, snapping them to her hips.

  "Speaking of, I understand why Mr. Moustache hired you now." Natsu exhales as he stretches the material of her ebony corset with his index finger and thumb. "Pardon?" She glances over at him, blushing heavily as she snatched the top from his palms. "Your breasts are enormous.." He gapes at how tight the tee-shirt was fitting her, even though that was her exact measurement.

  "S-Shut up!" She reaches to cover her chest in embarrassment. "Sorry, sorry. But it's true." He chuckles and she turns her head toward him, her eyes widened in fascination. "What is it? Is there something on my face?" He asks as his hands roam his facial features in confusion. "N-no! Y-you.." She stammers, placing her palms on her thighs. A grin of amazement spread across her face as she stared at him wistfully.

  "God, what's wrong with you lately?" Natsu sighs and rubs his head in irritation. "You apologized! To me!" She beams excitedly, clapping her hands. "W-What!? R-Really? No way! I'd never apologize to you!" He barks at her, slamming his first onto the mattress of the bed. "But you did! But you did~~!" She giggles cheerfully as a blush spreads across his cheeks. "Well, let me assure you, that won't happen again." He folds his arms across his chest and she smiles.

  "...I hope you're right." She nods slowly and he peers over at her through his peripherals. "It's five a.m. isn't it?" Natsu leans over her to check the clock. "Yep. Why?" She quirks her eyebrow in confusion. "We better get going. Or else you'll be stuck in those clothes all day." He grasps onto her hand and leads her out of the bedroom, down the staircase, and to the front door.  She pokes his shoulder as she pulls out the door keys.
