"That was amazing!" I jumped up and down as we were leaving the building.

"I have to admit that was pretty amazing."

"I already want to go back again."

"They're open every Friday, so when they open again I'll take you."

"Promise?" I held out my pinky finger.

He laughed, "Promise." He wrapped his pinky finger around mine.

"So where to next?" I asked.

"We're going to Erza's job."

"You mean the really crazy one?"

He laughed, "So you remember her?"

"Yeah, it wasn't that long ago."

"Yeah, your right." I glanced at him and saw his eyes softened and a small smile starting to form.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Nothing much, except being here with you."

I felt my face start to burn again.

"I love it when I get to see you blush," he said, smirking.

"I'm not!" I said, even though I dont know what that is, "I just..."

"Just what?" He laughed.

"Nothing." I pouted and turned my head while cursing to myself for letting him see me like that, "Come on, let's get going."

The drive was smooth and relaxing. The cool breeze hitting my face and the relaxing music in the background.

Feels like heaven.

"I'm really glad you came Luce."

"I know, you told me like a million times." I laughed.

"Im serious Luce. You coming with me means a lot to me. I really appreciate you." He turned to me to give his signature heatwarming smile but, something about him was different.

I gasped. H-His eyes.

"What wrong? Is there something on my face?" He started wiping his face randomly.

I couldn't speak. I just stared at his eyes in awe. He snapped his fingers in my face, bringing me back to reality, "what's wrong? You went out of space."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare."

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah," I smiled, "I'm fine." I stared back out the window, still trying to process what I just saw.

His eyes had color.

We arrived at Erza's job. I was already ready for another taste of her strawberry cakes.

He got out the car and sniffed the air, "food."

We walked inside. Everything was still the same, except there were more costumers. The smell of fresh food and coffee filled my nose.

I heard a bell ring, "one order of strawberry cake!" The cook said.

"I really want one!" I said, drooling.

He chuckled, "Alright, I'll buy you one."

"Are you sure?" I asked, "I don't want to spend all of your money."

"Don't worry, you won't." We found the booth we were sitting at the last time.

"I guess you can say this is our special spot." Natsu smirked.

"I guess so." I stared out the window, thinking about how my mom is doing.

"Lucy!"

"Yeah?" I snapped back to reality.

"You keep staring out of space."

"Oh I'm sorry. I'm just thinking too much."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"It's just that... I'm really worried about her. Before you came here my mom had another one of her episodes about my dad. She was throwing glass and screaming." I sighed, "I feel like it's going to get worse and she's going to really hurt herself."

He reached over to my hand. Not saying anything. I smiled at him, "don't worry about me. I'm fine. I've learned to deal with it."

"You don't have to lie to me Luce." He gently squeezed my hand, "It's not healthy to keep your problems inside like this."

"It's not something I like to talk about."

"I understand. If there's one thing I don't like to talk about its definitely about my family."

"Order up!" Erza placed two cakes down on the table, she was not about to leave, but not before asking Natsu the same question, "do you have money to pay your tab yet?" She said, balancing a knife on her fingertip.

She crazy and she's a magician!

"Rain check," He smiled. She stabbed the knife on the table, in between Natsu's fingers. He let out a small scream.

"What have I told you about coming here if you don't have the money to pay your tab."

"I'm sorry!" He squeaked.

She pulled the knife from the table, "I better get my money Natsu!"

"Yes mam!" He wiped the sweat from his face, relieved she was gone. He rubbed his hands together, "so, let's eat." He dug his fork into the cake, savoring each bite.

Did he suddenly forget that he almost had his finger cut off!

He glanced back up at me with a confused face, "are you not going to eat your cake?"

"You do realize you almost had your finger cut off."

"Yeah, it happens all the time when I come here."

That's not normal! Why does he think that's normal!

"How could you say that so casually?! I don't think friends are supposed to almost cut your fingers off. "

"I've know her since we were in diapers. This isn't anything new to me. Even though she can be quite scary sometimes, I still want to be her friend, even if that means getting threatened by a knife everytime I see her."

That's sweet... I think.

I dug into my cake, remembering that sweet taste that filled my mouth the last time I was here. I smiled to myself as I took a bite.

Heaven!

I glanced up to see Natsu laughing at me, "What?" I said.

"Nothing, it's just your face when you get excited is so adorable."

"If I heard you correctly, I think you're trying to flirt with me."

"Was it that obvious?" He smirked, finishing the last of his cake, "that hit the spot!"

"Her cakes are the best."

"Hey you wanna do something dangerous?"

"Like what?"

"This." He grabbed my hand, running to the exit.

"Wait Natsu! We forgot to pay!"

"I know! That's the dangerous part!"

"What!?" I screamed.

He turned back around to see the demon he calls his friend,running our way, "there's the dangerous part!"

I turned around and saw a steaming Erza running our way, "Natsu!" She screamed.

He opened the door and ran to the car, "get in!"

I put on my seat belt, "She's going to kill us!"

"Probably." He started the car and started backing up, but Erza hopped on the hood making us both scream.

He turned on the windshield wipers, attempting to get her off the car, "we're going to die!" I screamed.

"Not today!" He drove full speed, with Erza still on the car.

"Are you crazy! You're going to hurt her."

"You don't need to worry about that. She's a demon, she can survive anything." He was spinning in circles in the parking lot, trying to get her off.

"I'm going to kill you Natsu!" She stratched the glass of car.

"I just changed that glass!" He stepped on the brakes, making her fly off the car and roll onto sidewalk, "Sorry Erza! I'll promise I'll pay you back!" He put the car in drive and drove out of the parking lot.

I was hyperventilating.

"Are you insane?!" I yelled.

"Maybe a little."

"You could have killed us all!"

"But you had fun right."

I pouted. "Am I right?" He teased.

"Yeah." I whispered, "I had fun." I smiled to myself hearing myself say those words.

I had fun.
