It was supposed to be a standard dinner date. Most people would know how to approach something like that but Zeref's brother on the other hand was running around the house in a panic.

"Zeref! Is it offensive to ask a girl if she wants dessert? And where's my suit? And where's my tie? And how's my hair? And—"

"Whoa slow down there Natsu. You're going out on a date with Lucy, not the queen. Not that Lucy has low standards, but she won't care what you're wearing or how your hair looks." Zeref patted Natsu's hair. "You two have known each other practically all your lives. This isn't any different from when you guys went out to eat before."

"Yeah, but now we're officially going out. Lucy deserves to have a perfect boyfriend but I'm not sure if I can handle that." Natsu responded looking down to the floor. Zeref grabbed him by the shoulders.

"Lucy loves you Natsu. That includes your idiotic traits, ADHD-ness, spiky pink hair, and everything else about you. So in conclusion, just be yourself while treating this as a normal dinner with her." Zeref looked Natsu in the eyes as he seemed to calm down.

"Alright thanks, I think I'm better now," he smiled.

*Ding-Dong*

Zeref assumed that after hearing the doorbell Natsu would go into a panic again, but his grin only grew stronger. "She's here." He ran down the stairs to greet her. Zeref couldn't help smiling along with Natsu as he remained upstairs.

"You've…really grown."

Thanks for reading guys! With all the other Natsu x Zeref brotp fanfics popping up everywhere, I couldn't help but write one too :3
