Planning the Couple (A NaLu Story) - Chapter Eight

Normal POV:

Morning soon came, the sun shining its way through the windows of the Dragneel’s house. And the one and only one up was the lightning mage we all know and love. Smiling and skipping, she made her way to the kitchen, stopping once in front of the guest room’s door. Putting her ear to the door, she fell quiet and tried to hear for a voice.

…

Yeah, nothing but Natsu’s ‘loud breathing’ filled the room. Sighing, Kenzie started her skip back up and made it to the kitchen, stopping in front of the fridge. Knowing all too well what she and her brother had, she planned out what she would make the three in her head.

Finally making her decision, she grabbed the eggs, milk, bacon, and sausage. Setting all that down on the countertop, the brown haired girl skipped her way to the pantry, humming the whole way.

“Hmm… What to make… Pancakes or French Toast…” The little dragon slayer put her finger on the frame of the pantry, and tapped it until she got an idea. “Too lazy to make French Toast, so I’ll make pancakes!” Happy with her decision, she grabbed the pancake mix and whatever else she needed and also set that on the countertop.

Then, she started cooking. Knowing her brother too well and wanting him to sleep a little longer, Kenzie decided to save the bacon and sausage for last.

It took a few minutes, but she got everything ready and it was almost done, so she started the meats and grabbed some plates. Again, skipping and humming, the girl set the once dirty table and made it look pretty. Nodding at her progress, Kenzie walked back to the bacon and watched it from a few seconds.

… Then got bored…

So she grabbed her iPod (yes, in my world, I gave them iPods) and turned on to one of her favorite songs. Another smile appeared on her face before she started singing to the song, air guitar-ing the whole time.

“Shotgun, angel with a shotgun!” And so on, dancing throughout the living room and kitchen, the hallway and even in her own room.  But little did she know that she had some guest of her own…

“Pfft!” She stopped and her eyes widen, slowly turning around, she saw her pink haired brother and her blonde haired friend, both trying to hide the laugher.

A frown appeared on her face, “You ruined it! I was getting to the good part too!”

“Well then my little sister, continue on.” The fire user waved on, only making the girl madder.

“Shut up!”

“Make me!”

“OH I WILL!”

“No you won’t! If anything, I’m the one who could kick your butt!”

The brown haired girl pouted, her arms crossed over her body, “You suck…”

Lucy giggled the whole time, smiling at the *cough (winning) cough* Natsu. Then, her most favorite (sarcasm… ) smirk ever.

“Hey Lucy,” The younger girl started, “Are you and my brother a couple?” The very question made even Lucy confused, so she turned to pinkette and waited for his answer.

With his own smile, Natsu threw his arm around Lucy’s shoulders and nodded, “Of course! You know, if it’s ok with you?”

The blonde nodded, “Yup, I’m fine with it!”

“Then it’s settled!” The lightning wizard cheered, jumping in her spot. “I’ll get to have a sister-in-law!” That made the two blush, big time. The now smirking little sister of Natsu’s happily skipped away to the kitchen and plated everything up. She set the food on the table and sat down, waiting for the new couple to sit down with her.

“What? It’s food and it’s done. Eat up!” With know a smile on her face, Kenzie waved the two other. They hesitant, then Natsu’s stomach growled, he sighed and walked over.

“Fine, but if this kills me, Lucy will get her revenge.” He winked at the blonde, who nodded and giggled yet again.

And that was the morning. They laughed and Kenzie made the two blush every now and then, which she thought was funny. But it was nice too, seeing Natsu and Lucy so happy now. That made her smile, that made her skip throughout the house and rock out to Angel with a Shotgun. That made her day.

“So they’re a couple now?”  One of Kenzie’s friends named Lily whispered from they’re end of the table. Her, Kenzie, and two other girls (aka, Lily’s roommates) named Crystal and Piper watched as the new couple reveled they’re relation to the group of friends.

“Yup! Even though I did most of the heavy lifting.” The three girl’s sweat dropped at their dragon slayer friend. They knew all too well her personally though.

“I’m just glad Kat went on a job with Romeo and Wendy. We don’t need her and Kenz fighting on a happy day like today!” Crystal clapped her hands together and giggled a little, getting a small frown from Kenzie.

“For the record,” Said dragon slayer started, “That freeze-brain always starts the fights cause she’s jealous of me!” Crossing her arms over her chest, Kenzie’s once frowning face turned into a smirking one.

“And when we woke up, lil’ Kenz was rocking out to Angel with a Shotgun!” That stopped the girl’s smirk. Her eyes wide, Kenzie turned to the other end of the table, everyone laughing whenever they looked her way. Growling, the lightning mage got up and walked over to her brother, who had a smile of victory on his face.

“You damn liar! You said you won’t tell anyone!”

“I don’t remember saying that! I was too busy laughing at you to hear!”

“YOU’RE THE WORST BROTHER EVER!”

“Aww! Love ya too sis!”

It took everything within the girl to hold back her sparking fist, but she sighed and quickly thought up another plan that should really set him over the edge. She smirked and re-crossed her arms.

“Hey Lucy, I have an idea you and Natsu can to do tonight!”

“Huh, do I want to know?” The blonde asked, know a possible answer from the girl.

“DON’T BE A PERV! Not like that!” Laughs left the group once more, the other three girl’s joining in as they moved closer to the group. “What I mean is that Natsu can take you to his secret hiding place!”

Everyone (but Natsu) gave the girl confused looks, until Erza (who was on a mission this whole time) said, “He has a secret hiding spot?”

The brown haired girl nodded happily, “Yay! He took me there a few days after I moved in with him and Happy! Right Natsu?!”

“Er, right.” The fire wizard looked at the floor from his spot at the table, a frown on his face. I am SO getting her later! Was what he thought.

“Then it’s settled! Natsu and Lucy will have a date tonight at Natsu’s and mine’s secret hiding spot!”

The pink haired man stood up, slamming his hands on the table. “What! I never said yes to that!”

“You never said no either.” Kenzie smirked, getting a death glare from her brother. He growl as he sat back down.

“Please Natsu, I wanna go to this secret hiding spot. Please?” Lucy asked with puppy dog eyes, making her lip quiver. Natsu felt his face burn up a little until he sighed in defeat.

“Fine… we’ll go tonight…”

“Yay! You’re the best boyfriend ever!” And with that, said dude received a kiss on his cheek, making him blush yet again.

I guess it won’t be so bad. He thought, smiling and pulling the blonde closer to him. I was probably going to show her it anyways.
