Well this is a quick and sudden update requested by MANGA_QUEEN and a few others but this is dedicated to my 250 follower Strawberry_cake588 :) AND ONWARD WITH THE STORY !!!

While Igneel cut the engine and put the bags on the deck, Lucy stared down at the gap between the deck and the boat, squealing when she noticed the boat was floating away ever so slowly.

"Natsu! The boat!"

"Calm down, will you?" The man sighed as he tied the rope onto the anchor as Lucy cried out in agony as he made double knots. When he finished he walked on over to his wife who grabbed onto his arm, pointing at the gap between the boat and the deck. "There's a huge gap! I might fall in!" She whined making him shake his head in disagreement. "You're not that skinny."

"Excuse me?"

"I mean," he said before she slapped him. "That this is like two inches. You can't slip through unless you're a twig. I'm sure even if you did, your fat ass wouldn't allow it." He smirked smugly at Lucy who gawked at him, punching the side of his arm while blushing crimson. "You pervert!"

"It's the truth. Now hurry and get on the deck before I turn one hundred."

"I'll fall!"

"I told you, your fat ass will stop the fall!"

"Don't you talk about my ass like that!"

"Oh please, just get on, will you?"

"I'll fall!"

"You won't!"

Igneel sweat-dropped as he stared at his son and daughter-in-law argue on the boat as he already came out and held two bags of luggage. He watched them and wondered when they'll stop and how annoying it'll be to deal with that the entire trip but it was somewhat entertaining.

"If you do fall, I'll catch you, okay?"

"You promise?"

"Yeah, so c'mon. Put your foot here and push yourself up. My dad will help you up," he said as he pointed to the places where Lucy hesitantly nodded. While trembling she looked up at Igneel who gave her a reassuring grin, holding his large hand out as he waited patiently. Lucy huffed and took in a deep breath before glancing back at Natsu who also waited for her. He motioned her to move and she took in another deep breath before placing her foot on the edge of the boat, squealing when the weight shifted to one side making her grab on Igneel's hand tightly who grunted.

"N—Natsu!"

"Its okay, Luce, I've got you!"

"No, not that! I mean, get your hand off my ass!"

Igneel moved to the side to see what she meant and almost face-palmed when he saw his son grabbing on her bottom. He shot him a look making him smirk and heave her up onto the deck, the blonde squealing as she stumbled against the red-haired man who caught her.

"S—sorry!" Lucy sputtered as she backed away, Igneel laughing. "No, no, it's okay. Are you okay, Lucy?"

"Y—yes... Thank you."

"No problem at all. Everyone has one thing they're scared of, right?" He asked, grinning slightly making Lucy sigh in relief and smile back. "Yes..."

"Okay, let's get going now since the Princess is done screaming!" Natsu interrupted as he got onto the deck, smiling at his family members who glared. "Thanks for grabbing my ass—I totally thought I would leave that behind." Lucy said sarcastically making him give her the thumbs up. "Anytime."

The pink-haired man bent down and grabbed the remaining bags that were on the floor and grinned, motioning for his father to start walking. "Let's go and meet grammy!"

"S—shall I help with the bags or—?" Lucy asked shyly as she pointed at the bags Igneel held, the older man shaking his head. "I would never let a lady carry my bags when I have two perfectly good toned arms right here," He pointed towards his arms making Natsu roll his eyes. "Never let my woman do it—won't let my son's woman do it. If he makes you do it though, make sure to tell me because I didn't raise him to treat a woman like that." Igneel said while throwing Natsu a dirty look making him smirk. "C'mon pop, you gotta have more faith in me than that."

"Well—"He trailed off making Natsu give him a look of death. Lucy just giggled as she walked side-by-side with Natsu who huffed and carried the heavy luggage around while Igneel walked ahead of them.

Thankfully they were over the horrific boat-ride; she would have thrown up and fainted if she was there longer.

At least she saw a side of Natsu she never thought she'll see.

While walking up the dirt trail, Lucy looked around in wonder and amazement as such a tiny-town had many people living in it. She wondered why Natsu's grandmother wanted to live all the way up in the woods and be isolated from people—it must get very lonely.

"How come the town is small and stuff but your grandmother's house is like a huge mansion all the way up there?" Lucy asked making Natsu grunt while readjusting the straps on his shoulder. "She was a big doctor, remember? She's filthy rich and she still has retirement money rolling in so basically, she's a millionaire. And that money is going to me." He smirked smugly making Lucy roll her eyes.

The three continued walking up a dirt trail making Lucy become breathless, struggling to climb up as Natsu and Igneel had no problem at all.

They were all the way up by the house while she was just couple of yards away, panting and huffing.

"W—Wait for me..!"

"Hurry up, you slow poke!" He laughed out loud as he and his father went up towards the front door, leaving Lucy to struggle to chase after them.

When she finally did make it to them, Igneel was already knocking on the large double wooden doors.

"Uh, Luce, erm, you might want to step back a bit." Natsu said as he put his arm out in front of her and blocked her from any harm, pushing her back slightly. Lucy raised a brow at his behavior but didn't argue as the door swung open and an elderly woman with pink-hair came out with a broom, screaming.

"You filthy humans—get out of my yard! My house—my house! Get out! I hate humans!"

"Mom, mom! Mom—it's me! It's Igneel—your son, calm down!" Igneel shouted out loud as he grabbed the broom and his mother who stopped screaming and waving the dangerous stick around. She looked up at her son who sighed from relief, raising her brow at him until she saw her grandson, a smile appearing on her face. "Natsu! My beautiful grandson—how is you?"

"H—Hi grammy." The pink-haired male said as the woman hugged him snuggly. When she was about to pull away, she noticed a blonde behind her grandson and she squealed, grabbing the broomstick from Igneel's hand to scream again.

"Human! Human! There's a human—!"She started to scream as she was about to hit Lucy but Natsu stepped in front of her, grabbing the end before she hit her.

He sighed as he looked a bit irked, taking the broom from her hands. "Grammy, she's nice, I swear."

"Who is she?!"

"She's my wife, grammy. Her name's Lucy so be nice, will you? Don't go slappin' people around with your broom stick." He muttered under his breath as she approached Lucy in a suspicious manner, eyeing the blonde down who felt super uncomfortable.

She was incredibly stiff as she watched Natsu's grandma judge her silently, trying hard not to let out a sound.

Natsu's grandmother didn't look like a regular old hunched back grandmother with wrinkles all over her face and sweet smile—she was an elderly woman with a major attitude which scared her shitless.

She was a slim and tall elderly woman with pink hair, tied in a bun on the back of her head by two large pins with crescent moon-shaped edges, and with two bangs of hair left framing her face. She has reddish eyes, and a beauty mark located below her mouth, on the left side of her face. Her attire consists of a dark green blouse with a tie around the collar, paired with a long matching skirt and simple shoes. Over this, she sported a crimson-colored cape, with a wide collar decorated by massive Dragon horn-like decorations protruding outwards, and edges adorned by white, arch-like motifs.

She looked scary in general... and very strict—it was a bit awkward to know that she reproduced someone so laidback like Igneel. She even wondered how Igneel survived his childhood years living with such a woman.

While waiting for a reply from the older woman, she suddenly gripped her arm making a squeal fly out of her lips. "So you're my grandson's wife, huh?"

"Y—Yes ma'am!"

"You're too skinny... don't you eat, girl?" She said as she held onto Lucy's thin arms, the woman silently crying to herself. "Your posture is too slanted—stop being so stiff. Are your breasts fake? Why is everything else so thin but these so large?" She said while pointing at her chest making her squeal and cover her chest.

She continued staring her down for a moment before she let her go and walked back inside the house, leaving Lucy whimpering in confusion.

Natsu let out a laugh as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her near. "Hey, she likes you!"

"L—likes me? More like judged me hardcore and basically spat on me,"

"No, that's her nice side. If she talks to you like that and stare you down, she likes you." Natsu explained and Igneel chuckled and grabbed the bags from the floor where he had put them down. "You'll get used to her, Lucy. Her names Porlyusica, she likes it when you call her, her name because it makes her sound younger."

"P—Porlyusica?"

"Yep! Porlyusica Dragneel."

"Stop your shit-talking about me and get in here!" She shouted from inside the house making Lucy jump and cower behind Natsu who laugh half-heartily. "Don't worry, Luce! She's nice, I swear!"

"I guess to you, beautiful grandson." Lucy mimicked making him grin. "Yeah, I'm beautiful!"

"It was a joke... but I guess you're her favorite?" She asked as the three entered the large house while Natsu nodded, putting the bags on the floor right by the door. "Yeah, I was her first grandson so she loves me most." He said proudly making Lucy nod while looking around the large mansion-type house. It was very roomy and cozy inside, like a cabin but fancier.

She would like to live in a house like this, one day.

"Where's Wendy?" Natsu asked making Igneel shrug as he separated the bags from each other, taking his two bags. "She's probably somewhere around here... mom, where's Wendy?"

"I sent her downtown to get some groceries... she'll be back soon."

"Sweet. Can I know where my room is?" Natsu asked making Igneel hand him his bag while putting his hand on his shoulder. "Not your room, its Lucy's room too. It's the guest bedroom all the way upstairs, down the hall." He said making Natsu stop and stare at his father. "Lucy and I are sharing a room?" He asked making Igneel give him a look as if he was stupid. "Why wouldn't you two?"

"I'm a guy, Lucy's a girl, it's—"

"Natsu, don't be stupid. You're married, who cares now? I'm sure you've done plenty of things together so you don't need to be embarrassed. Am I right?" He winked making Lucy's whole body grow cold while her face burned at least fifty shades of red. Natsu gapped at his father as his cheeks glowed a light red, throwing his arms in the air. "Dad!"

"What? What are you two so embarrassed about? Your mother and I—"

"Please don't get started! Jesus Christ—c'mon Luce, let's go." The rosy-haired male mumbled under his breath as he grabbed his wife's hand and dragged her down the hall.

He had the four bags of clothing in his hands as he walked up the stairs up with Lucy trailing behind him, the woman still in awe as she looked around and also still embarrassed over what Igneel commented about earlier.

She didn't know he was so... straightforward, she now knew where Natsu's bluntness came from.

As the couple climbed up the stairs, Natsu walked down a corridor leaving Lucy speechless as there was about a millions of rooms every other place. It seemed like a movie and when they finally came to the end of the hallway, Natsu jiggled the doorknob to open it. The couple entered it and Natsu threw the bags down on the floor, walking on over towards the king-sized bed to flop down on it.

He let out a groan as Lucy looked around the large room that was similar to a master-bedroom if it was a normal house.

There was a small fireplace next to the bed while a flat-screen TV hung in front of the bed. Two door screens were besides the bed as there was a balcony to allow the person to step outside, exotic plants placed in the corners as the bathroom was across the bed.

Lucy was too shocked to utter a single word.

"Who are you people?"

"We're normal—grammy's rich." He replied swiftly as he watched Lucy walk around and observe the place in awe. She brushed her fingertips against the cool wooden drawers as she looked up and down the room, walking around.

When she finally came to a conclusion that Natsu was a rich bastard, she walked on over to him and crossed her arms. "You never told me your family's rich."

"I'm not. My grandma is—not me, sweetheart."

"Well her fortune will be passed down to you so you're technically rich." She rolled her eyes as he sat up and shrugged. "I guess so."

"Also, what are we going to do about this rooming together? I don't believe I read the fine print where it says I have to sleep with you," Lucy joked as she crossed her arms and eyed the male who smirked. "Well, you don't have to but you can if you want—"

"In your filthy wet dreams! I will not sleep on a same bed with you!"

"Why not?"

"That's indecent! Unlike you, I don't go sleeping around with anyone. I would like to save my virginity until I'm married." The blonde huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest while the male stood up walked closer to her. "Excuse me but, uh, I think you are." He said as he held his left hand up making Lucy blink and scoff. "I meant for real."

"This is real. If you don't remember, we signed a contract so baby; you're Mrs. Dragneel till I say so." He said devilishly as he stepped closer to her making her back away slightly. "You're in my personal space, bud."

"Sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you, Mrs. Dragneel, would you please repeat that?"

"You're enjoying yourself, aren't you?" She glared making him nod and grin widely. He suddenly then took his shirt off making her face explode into a deep shade of red, covering her eyes as she looked away. "W—what are you doing?! I thought—"

"Chill. I'm just going to go shower so will you give me some privacy?"

"You could have taken your shirt off after explaining!" She screeched making him grab his shirt and wrap it around her back, pulling her closer to his bare chest as she blushed even harder. "What are you doing—?!"

"Knock, knock! Wendy is here!" A blue-haired girl shouted as she burst into the room, stopping mid-way as she realized what she interrupted.

Slowly, her face turned crimson as Lucy's face burst into flames, Natsu's eyes widening as he realized his cousin burst into something that was totally not called for. He quickly pulled away and turned towards her to speak but she dashed out of the room before he even had the chance to explain.

"I'm sorry—!"

"Goddamn it—Wendy!"

"O—oh my god, she saw us! S—she saw—"Lucy cried out making Natsu shush her. "Luce, you're freaking out for nothing! She saw nothing."

"B—But it gave her the imagine of something—!"

"It was nothing. Stop freaking out!" The male exasperated as his wife continued to cry about how his little cousin saw something that she shouldn't have seen. It wasn't like they were doing something inappropriate—he was just holding her half-naked! Now his father will tease him more... what was he going to do?! He'll never let him live that one down!

"J—just, do whatever! Go introduce yourself—I'm going to take a shower!"

"No! That's awkward—I'll wait for you!"

"God, this is fucked up. Urgh, I hope Wendy doesn't tell... fuck. Fine, stay. I'll take my shower and we'll go down for dinner and properly introduce yourself and explain it was a huge misunderstanding, alright?" The male explained making Lucy nod and sigh in relief. "I hope we didn't scar her..."

"She's thirteen, I'm sure she can handle it." He winked making her give him a glare. "You are the worst cousin, ever!"

—X—

The first thing when Natsu got out of the shower and finished everything they needed, they went downstairs and had a popper pop in front of Lucy's face causing her to scream out loud. Porlyusica screamed at them to shut up leaving Lucy to cry about it right behind Natsu who guarded her, glaring at the male who popped the popper.

"Congratulations, you scarred a thirteen year old!" Igneel shouted in pure enthusiasm making Natsu face-palm. "Dad!"

"I—I'm sorry!"

"Oh, Lucy don't be! And you said you two won't do anything like that." He teased making Lucy flush even harder and cover her face while Natsu growled protectively. "You're annoying! She's the one who walked in on us, we weren't even doing anything!"

"From what I heard, you were shirtless and holding Lucy from the waist. Tsk, I've done all those before so stop lying—"

"Dad!" Natsu shouted, groaning as if he was in pain. "You're making it worse! Stop talking about your sex-life with mom, I don't need the mental imagine." He hissed making Igneel nod and cross his arms. "Then I expect full honesty. You two were about to do something upstairs, weren't you?"

"F—Father, it wasn't like that, I swear!" Lucy cried out as she blushed red. "Natsu was about to shower and he was t—teasing me about something…"

"Well, since Lucy said it, I believe it." He stated making his son gawk at him and look utterly confused and shocked while the red-haired male nodded. "But I expect the noise level tonight to be minimum, okay?"

"We're not going to do anything!" He shouted once more, throwing his hands up in the air.

When he was ignored once more, he turned towards Wendy and pointed a finger at her whom jumped in her spot. "This is your fault!"

"M—Mine?" She squeaked making him grab her by the shoulders. "You made him think we were going to do something! This is your—"He started to shout making her tear up but as soon as he was about to yell even more, Lucy pushed him away and hugged the poor girl, tightly.

"Natsu! What do you think you're doing?! She didn't do anything, don't yell at her!"

"Please—if it wasn't for her, my dad wouldn't be saying fucked up things like this!"

"Natsu!"

"Stop your yelling already!" Porlyusica screeched making the four stop arguing and screaming, turning to look at the woman who glared fiercely. "This is why I hate humans! Fighting and fighting and fighting! I didn't live eighty years for this!" She threw her arms in the air making Igneel sigh. "Sorry, mom. Cool down, okay?"

"It's dinner time, sit your butts down or else I'm kicking you out!"

And just like that, the four were all seated and food was being passed around the dinner table.

—X—

That night, Lucy sat in her and Natsu's room as she read a novel while Natsu was brushing his teeth. She didn't know how the bedding process was going to work but she knew she wasn't going to be the one sleeping on the floor or couch. He could figure that one out by himself since she was all so cozy in bed and she knew better than sleeping on the same bed with the opposite sex.

She was raised well, unlike the hooligan she knew as Natsu. She didn't know who raised him since Igneel was the perfect father...

But what did she knew what a good father was? She lost hers when she was just a child...

A sadden sigh escaped her lips as she remembered her father who used to teach her about fishing and how her mother used to teach her swimming. She would have probably been a fisher and swimmer champ by now if they raised her to become one. But after the disappearance of her parents... she was afraid to take a step into the ocean.

"What's wrong with the long face? You alright?" Her pretend-husband asked as he came back from the bathroom, looking at the blonde who just shrugged. "Just thinking about my parents that are all."

"That reminds me... want to talk about it? I mean... so I don't cross any bad boundaries with you and stuff, I'll tell you whatever you need to know too, if you want." He suggested making Lucy stare at him in wonder, blinking in confusion. "Who are you and what have you done with Natsu?"

"Hey—! What is that supposed to mean?"

"I mean, when do you care if you cross some bad boundary? You're usually pretty blunt about everything—"

"I am not! Look, you don't have to if you don't want to. I'm just asking so you don't feel bad or something—"

"I'll tell you whatever you like." She interrupted him making him stop and stare. He was silent to let her speak as he sat on the edge of the bed, listening to every little detail she had for him. "Well... erm, I don't know what to say... I don't really remember my parent's well."

"Did you love them?"

"Yes, with all my heart."

"Then that's all that matters. Who raised you?" He asked making her sigh happily. "I had a maid who took care of me when I was alone. Her name is Mrs. Spetto! Sadly... she's not with us anymore; she passed away two years ago. But it's okay because I'm old enough to take care of myself. If I could... I would love to thank her for all the trouble I put her through... she was like the second mother, you know?" She said sadly making Natsu agree.

"Yeah... I don't really know how it feels like having a mother since mine died when I was young but I guess I know how you feel." He said while shrugging making Lucy place her hand on his and smile. He smiled back and let out a loud sigh before lifting the blankets and throwing himself under them, having Lucy squeal out a protest. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"Sleeping, what else?"

"Not on the same bed as me, excuse you."

"You expect me to sleep on the floor or something?"

"Yes?" She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

He stared at her in protest but she glared right into his dark eyes making him groan in defeat. "Can we justplease sleep together—"

"I said no! Natsu Dragneel, you either get off of this bed by will or I'll kick you off!" She threatened making him cry out loudly as he got up, swinging his arms around in a whining manner. He grabbed his pillow and dragged himself out of bed before grabbing the extra blankets in the drawers, spreading them out on the floor to lie down on them.

He huffed extra loudly to make sure Lucy heard while he tossed around on the floor, the blonde rolling her eyes at his childish behavior.

She turned the lamp off right next to her bed making the room get absorbed into darkness, the couple becoming dead silent.

"Good night, Natsu!" She sang cheerfully as her husband replied back, grumpily.

"Night."
