WHERE: Genessia City and Fayren, Catch her anywhere, around the cities!

[ After successfully Not-Tomb Raiding and getting payment for the most recent job (and Lucy hoped that the herb was actually going to work for that poor girl) it was time to do some well earned shopping. Not alone though, Neveren, the youngest member of Fairy Tail (kinda) was accompanying her. Her first stop is picking up some cooler clothing for herself and the kids since Regina was busy on a job herself. Next she stopped at a toy store, where she picked up something for him and herself. Her last stop was at the ice cream shoppe before heading back to Feyren to the guild. ]

[ OOC Open CR, come hang out with Lucy and her not!son! ]

[ She huffs a little bit, cheeks puffed. ]

Well.. why not? I'm a girl, and girls like cute things too you know..!

[Honestly making that kind of face isn't helping at all to stop him from asking questions.]

Well just wondering what you find cute about this little guy. It's not like any of the other plushies you see most of the time is it?

[Since even he knows girls prefer princes and charming woodland creature toys.]

[ Yeah well! She's gonna do it anyway! ]

Wha ..well no, I guess not.. but I .. don't know, he just is. [ He reminds her of a certain someone! She grinned sheepishly, ] And it's soft and huggable.

[ Also like a certain someone she knows. -cough- Let other girls have their princes and fluffy animals. She wants a dragon~! ]

Soft and huggable huh?

[Squeezes his middle a bit and has to agree it feels fairly nice.]

Still don't see what part of this guy is like me though.

[Wooopsie.]

Sure. It makes it easy to sleep wit- [ And she freezes in her chair at that slip up, her face paling. Ohgod. OH GOD did he hear all that before? Ackackack. Aaaaaaack. ]

Ee-m. Wh....what makes you say that? [ If he overheard her saying all that did he see her giving it kisses and hugs too? Oh dear god. ]

Hm? What was that?

[Oh he caught it. Remember, Dragon Slayer hearing that could pick up even her desperate call for Asuka's name during Lucy's fight with Flare.]

Well...you were talking about it when I first came in.

[And the Happy is out of the bag.]

[ HE DID. Color suddenly floods back into her face, bringing it toa lovely shade of salm--er, red. ]

A...ah.. um...I was..just saying it was easy to sleep with... [ If Erza was going to give her a hard time about sleeping with her partner she could at least pretend with a dragon plush? Erm. Maybe? ]

What part ... um... t...the face?

[She's floundering hard. Not the first time he sees her this flustered and while he tries to keep his mind focused on other things, his talk with Battler definitely left some marks on his mind and observational skills.]

The face you say?

[He manages to make himself sound genuinely interested while hoping she says more.]

[ In her rush to try and avoid the answer she actually ends up answering more than she intends to. ]

S.. sure! And.. and the eyes, they're just um... eyelike... [ Wait what? ]

I-I mean.. um. They're... they're determined, and gentle and.. well there's nothing stronger than a dragon right? When it comes to protecting what's important -- l-like treasure.

[ Augh can she trip over her words any harder. ]

[Honestly he'd like to keep her talking but he's not sure how long the spell of truth caused by his presence there will last. So instead he decides to hop in with a bit of commentary of his own.]

Hmmmm so wouldn't that make you the treasure for this dragon?

[Does he mean the toy or himself? She can choose. He's being unintentionally vague now.]

[ Lucy paused at the question, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye for a moment. Augh that vagueness. ]

I.. suppose so. After all there are tons of stories about dragons being fiercely protective of their treasures. And that little guy doesn't look any different. I'd feel sorry for anyone who tried to get between him and his treasure, actually. [ Eheh heh.. she studies the small dragon plush with her chin on her hands. ]

But I don't mind that...

[Completely innocent here. Okay maybe not completely but he's convincing!]

Hmmmm. That's quite the praise I'm sure this little guy is more than happy just to be hugged by you every day~

[ Extremely convincing! Curse that pokerface! ]

You think so, huh?

[ And then it slips out before she can stop herself. ]

What about you?

[He's the best at it!]

Yeah.

[And he's about to toss the plushie into her arms before she does the unexpected and follows through.]

Me? Well...I guess you could say we...have the same goals in mind....

[ So unfaaaaaaaaair!

She hadn't actually MEANT to ask that, but the answer made her smile all the same. ]

Well... if you have the same goals in mind - [ she trailed off at a sudden thought. Wait. Was he talking about being hugged by her every day or protecting treasures? Whoah. Wait. What? ]

[He' s just idly playing with the plushie's tail while avoiding eye contact for the moment.]

Yeah? What were you gonna say?

Um.. I...

[ ..she wished she had something to fiddle with right now. She toyed with her pen instead. ]

I was just wondering..which goal.. I guess.

[ Face getting a bit more red. She wasn't sure how to react and even more she wondered WHY She even asked. ]

J.. Just out of curiosity.. I mean..! You've never really seemed like a greedy kind of person so.. so.. I was just ... curious.

[He's holding the plushie at the moment while lisstening to her answer to the end.]

Really? Is that what you think?

[He's pretty sure there's been moments when he wanted Lucy to spend time just with him.]

[ Lucy glanced back at him in surprise. ]

Well.. there's the things you collect in your room as mementos (precious memories), but I don't think that would really count towards you being greedy. Treasures, on the other hand... I don't know.

[ She scratched her cheek trying to picture him being greedy. Of course she's thinking of it in a more material sense. She grins a little, tilting her head to watch him fiddling with the dragon's tail (that looks really cu--okay weird thoughts, you can stop that now)]

Are you?

[He's not surprised she knows about that. Even before Exsilium he'd picked up her scent in his house after they day she cleaned the place up in her supposed to be petty attempt at revenge.]

Well I do have...precious things I don't want to lose.

[fiddle fiddle some more.]

... I know what you mean. [ She fiddled with her pen absently. ] It's the same way for me - I have something so precious, I can't imagine being without h.. it.

[ Just keep on dancing around the subject, there Luce. ]

[Did she really know? Natsu has to wonder briefly though he quickly realizes that he doesn't want her to know that feeling. It's enough that he knows.]

Well....I just wish I'd realized it sooner.

[ Maybe not to the extent that he did, but.. she knew enough that being without him was...unfathomable. He was her precious.. ]

Hey... you haven't lost any...anything... [ Forgetting the momentary fluster, she got to her feet and moved over to sit next to him on the bed, hesitantly reaching out to rest an arm around him. His precious treasures were still here. ]

What's precious to you - it's still here. [ And so is she. Though she can't bring herself to say that, suddenly locking her gaze on her right hand. ahem. Y-es. Don't think about losing precious future Lucy's. Er. Treasures. Th.. that's what he worried about right? ]

[He doesn't wish that kind of experience on anyone especially not on her.]

Mmm. Yeah I guess. It's still scary. How easily that happened once. The thought of it happening again...

[He drops the plushie's tail and just lowers his head a little unable to look Lucy in the eye.]

It won't.

[ She didn't want to think of it happening - to either of them. Being able to keep on living, and going on adventures together was what made her happiest. BUT, more important than those selfish thoughts - she needed to do something to cheer him up. OR not so much cheer him as reassure him. ]

Hey, Natsu, come on, look at me. [ It was just wrong seeing him so down. But if he wouldn't look at her, she'd just have to make him look at her. ]
