Chapter 1
Lucy
Tap Tap Tap
Lucy yawned and sat up, looking for the source of the noise. Noticing a certain head of pink hair, she sighed. 'Damn it, Natsu. Why do you have to come over here so freakin' early?'
Swinging her legs over the side of her bed, she approached the window, realizing a bit too late that she had taken off her pajamas sometime in the night and was now only in a bra and underwear.
"Crap!" she exclaimed, hastening to cover herself with, well, anything. When she looked up, she saw Natsu laughing. Though she couldn't hear it, she could imagine the sound. "Shut it, hothead!" she shouted, though she didn't know for sure if he could hear her, even with his abnormally good hearing.
Once she had a decent amount of clothes on, she went to the window and unlatched it, sliding it open so he could come in.
"Mornin' sleepy head," he said with a smirk. "Maybe next time you'll remember to put some clothes on, yeah? We don't need another stripper in the guild." He chuckled at Lucy's answering scowl.
"Well, it isn't my fault you decided to wake me up so early! Actually, why did you wake me up this early?" she asked, tilting her head in confusion and gesturing to the dark sky. He slid through the window and into the room, gripping the window to propel him.
"Your rent's coming up soon, right?" Without waiting for an answer, he continued and sat on her bed. "Well, I found a job that pays twice what you need! So, whadya say?" He looked at her expectantly, just as Happy came hurtling through the window.
"Aye, sir!" he exclaimed breathlessly.
"Uh, Happy, I wasn't asking you, I was asking Lucy. I already know you're coming." Turning back to her, he leaned his elbows on his knees, still waiting for her answer. "C'mon, Luce, please?"
"Alright fine," Lucy said with a resigned sigh. She crossed her arms over her chest. "When do we leave?"
"Now!" Natsu beamed, standing up from the bed and thrusting a fist into the air. "Pack your things, Blondie, we're going to Hargeon!"
