"Igneel, I'm home!" Natsu yelled happily as he and Lucy enter the cave. A roar then greet them making Lucy flinch in surprise.

"What're you bringing Natsu? It smell nice." The voice come from inside.

"It is my mate, Igneel!" Natsu yelled bluntly.

"Natsu!" Lucy shrieked as she punch him playfully.

"Mate? Where is it?!" The voice come again. The earth was now a bit shaky. Lucy reflexly hug Natsu tightly making Natsu smirk at her action.

"Natsu.." Lucy whimpered. She was surprise of herself. She has never been these scared. Sure she ever feel scared but it was when she was child.

She could feel Natsu hug her back as his hand move into a circle sync on her back to calm her. Soon, a red huge dragon come into the view. It has two red wings on its right and left side.

"Yo, Igneel!" Natsu greet childlishly.

"Is this your mate?" Igneel ask immediately, moving his head closer to the blonde.

"Yeah! Her name is Lucy!" Natsu grin happily. Lucy take his word as clue for her to greet the dragon. But she was too scared so she just peek on it.

"Hmm... She smell nice." Igneel praise.

"Of course she did!" Natsu yelled, agreeing to Igneel.

"H-hi." Lucy stammered. The image in front of her has terrified her. Seeing a real dragon there was scary for her. She didn't understand. A while ago, she vomited to herself that she want to be eaten by dragon yet now she was scared by one.

"Oh? A shy one, huh?" Igneel mumbled which could Lucy heard clearly.

"So, when did you get her? I never saw you got any friend before." Igneel ask to Natsu.

"Actually she was my food. But I like her so she is my mate now." Natsu said plainly as if nothing was wrong with it.

"Idiot!" Lucy shrieked in embarassement.

"Eh? Why?" Natsu ask of the reason Lucy called her idiot.

"You don't just choose someone bluntly. How if the people you choose didn't even love you?" Lucy scolded, both of her hands move to her hip.

"Then did you like me, Lucy?" Natsu ask innocently.

"W-what?" Lucy whispered in disbelief. This pinkette was really so innocent and plain.

"Hmm.. So Natsu just choose you like that?" Igneel ask toward Lucy which Lucy nod at.

"Whoa! Good move, child!" Igneel praise making Lucy sweat dropped.

"Back to the topic, did you like me?" Natsu ask once more.

"W-we have a deal!" Lucy snapped. "If you could make me smile five times today then I will."

"Really?" Natsu ask excitedly.

"Yeah." Lucy said. She rarely smile so making she smile five times in one day will sure quite hard. But, she know deep in her heart she want him to complete the term. After all, he was the person who get her back, to make her could feel many feeling she has lost.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu said, pumping his fist to the air. The next second, Igneel has come to him with many idea which Lucy though was quite weird and dangerous, like hunting twenty lion for her.

While they were busy with idea, she take a look of the huge cave. Of course it was extremely huge. A dragon live there after all. The cave was surprisingly neat and comfortable. The floor was flat with no any small stone. The wall was filled with many old language and fire picture also some torch to lighten the path.

"Lucyyyyy." Natsu whine as he placed his arm around Lucy's shoulder. Lucy blushed slightly at this small action.

"What?" Lucy ask strictly.

"Don't be so angry, Luce. I just want to show you our room." Natsu said plainly.

"Luce? And what do you mean by our?!!" Lucy yelled as her face redened more. She could hear Igneel's laughter behind.

"Luce is the nickname I come with for you. I've tell you before, right? And yep, our. We will sleep there. There are only one bed here which belong to me. Igneel sleep on the floor." Natsu explain.

"I don't want to sleep with you!" Lucy complained.

"So, you want to sleep on the floor?" Natsu ask.

"Of course not!!" Lucy yelled back in reflex.

"Then?" Natsu ask confusingly. He was so dense, Lucy said in her mind.

"You are the one who will sleep on the floor." Lucy suggested firmly.

"But.." Natsu whined.

"Or I'll just sleep on the floor." Lucy theartened. She believe that Natsu will not let her. But his answer surprise her.

"Sure!" He said excitedly.

"What?!" Lucy shrieked.

"I said sure." Natsu repeat his word. Sighing in defeat, she let out a soft smile. Natsu was totally dense and idiot. She could just think about the sleep problem later. She maybe could just sneak to the bed.

"I got the first smile! Four to go." Natsu yelled making Lucy blinked for a while.

She smile? She really did? She even didn't even know she did smile.

"I did?" Lucy ask. Natsu nod as answer, letting her know that she did.

Woah! Natsu does change her. She don't know what the feeling is. It's just she could feel all the feeling back. It's like her cold heart was melted back. She know it was true. He did has melted her heart.
