(The songs on the radio are okay, but my taste in music is your face)

It is really hard to concentrate when you run into a guy who is almost completely naked. Especially when you've just been rudely awoken to the sharp drone of the fire alarm, signalling all residents of the apartment building to evacuate. Lucy Heartfilia can't exactly say she is completely cohesive in brain function at this current moment as of her lack of sleeping, but a hot guy wearing nothing but his boxers isn't exactly helping her either.

I mean, forget the fact she's awake so early in the morning on a freaking Saturday, this guy was making it really hard for her to not stare at him, much less drool. She prayed the drool she wiped away was from earlier and that he didn't catch that.

His tan, broad chest was freaking hot. Lucy was no pervert, but she liked the way his chest looked. The way his breathing stretched the chiseled muscle and the way his stomach seemed taunt after years of exercise made her heart beat in a straining rhythm.

His arms and legs and everything must have been sculpted by some famous Greek sculptor because she swears she's never seen someone this perfect. Lucy can't help imagining what's underneath those fireball and dragon boxers of his. His bright pink hair, disheveled from apparent sleep only adds more to his look, making Lucy curse herself for not dressing better.

She looks down at herself and groans. She's wearing Tinker Bell shorts and a Panic! At the Disco T-shirt, that's way too big and nearly covers her shorts. She can only imagine what her hair looks like, much less her eyes or face. She scratches the back of her head uncomfortably, and shifts her weight on her feet awkwardly.

So much for attracting the opposite sex.

The guy with pink hair leans against a wall, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his eyes closed and his head tilted back. She uses this chance to scavenge his body with her eyes some more because she seriously likes what she sees and she's not a pervert. I mean, who wouldn't stare, right?.

He opens one of his eyes just a crack and locks eyes with her, making her gasp, blush and turn away. He has gorgeous eyes, even in the dark. He chuckles, a low rumbling in the bottom of his chest. Lucy's face only gets brighter.

"What's your name, gorgeous?"

She's taken aback. Calling her gorgeous, especially the way she looked right now, seemed comical, and a little untrue. She can't help answer, because, you know, she's not a rude person.

"Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia."

Both of his eyes were open now, his body posture slightly forward, interested in talking to her.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel, nice to meet you Lucy."

He sticks out his hand, and Lucy grabs it. She notices how much bigger his hand is then hers, and how warm they are. His hands were calloused and rough, mostly through long hours of work and use.

"Ditto."

After releasing hands, Natsu's arms return back to his chest.

"So, do you know what apartment the fire started in?"

Disoriented, Lucy had stumbled out of her apartment in a rush, travelling with the flow of people, out the fire escape stairs, into the chilly air outside. Too tired after binge watching Supernatural on Netflix, she couldn't gather any information, or even walk straight, she was so exhausted. She shrugged, rubbing sleepy eyes and yawning.

"Beats me, I woke up to the fire alarm and I left without a second thought."

He laughed, his lips spreading and revealing a full set of pearly teeth and sharp canines. Lucy can't help feeling slightly aroused at the low tones of his laughter.

"I can tell."

His eyes fall on her clothing and she's blushing again. Great wardrobe choice Lucy, you sure know how to attract the male species. Of course she was trying to sleep and no one would see her, but she could've easily grabbed a jacket, maybe make herself look a little more presentable. Besides looking like the complete nerdy fangirl that she was, she really wished she had grabbed the jacket because it was chilly, and she shivered a bit.

"You're no better. How can you be almost completely naked right now, and not cold? I'm freezing."

It didn't help she had also forgotten shoes.

"I never feel cold. People always tell me I'm like a personal heater. "

He looked down at his naked chest.

"As for the lack of clothes, I've got to do something to attract the ladies other then my unnaturally good wit."

He smirked, his mouth curling into a half smile.

With sleepy eyes and a fuzzy brain, Lucy felt as if she was dreaming up such a handsome guy.

She rolled her eyes.

"With fireballs and Dragons?"

He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Makes me look like I have a childish side, and girls think kids are cute."

She couldn't help doubling over in laughter. Talking to him seemed easy, and he was so laid back, she felt as if she had known him for years. His smile was contagious and she couldn't help getting even closer, as if he was a magnet and she was being pulled by an invisible string.

"Lu-chan!"

Both heads turned in the direction of a running girl. She was waving her arms excitedly. Her blue hair was surprisingly straight, even though she had just woken up as well. Pushing through the crowd of people outside, Lucy could barely see her because of her tiny body and small stature. Her best friend, and roommate Levy McGarden had a jacket on, and shoes for that matter. Lucy swears that Levy was the smarter one, even though in academics they were equals.

"Levy."

Lucy looked at the stranger in confusion.

"You know her?"

He nodded his head, a sheepish look on his face.

"A little. She's dating a friend of mine, so I've met her before."

Lucy wonders if she had ever even met Natsu Dragneel before, because she and Levy had hung out with many of Gajeel's friends. Even if she had, she definitely wouldn't haven't forgotten that hair or that smile.

The fairy-like girl attacks her friend in a bear hug.

"Lucy, I was so worried, I couldn't find you anywhere."

The blonde laughs at the short breath and speedy words of her friend.

"I stumbled out when the alarms first went off, I've been here, making friends and attracting the other gender."

The azure-haired girl blinks at Lucy's thumb, which seems to be pointing at Natsu.

He waves.

"Yo."

She looks at him quizzically.

"I didn't know you lived here, Natsu."

He snorts.

"Been here since day one."

She nods in response, too distracted to keep conversation with him.

"So Lucy, I just got the news about what happened. Apparently someone's candle was left unattended and it burned down a lot of the apartment. It was a couple levels above us, so we were totally safe. They also shut down elevator 2A because of it."

Lucy can't help the sigh of relief that escapes her slightly chapped lips. She's glad nothing of hers burned.

"Everything is okay now and everyone is allowed to enter again."

Sleep. It sounds so refreshing.

She totally forgot Natsu for a moment.

"Well, looks like I'll be using your elevator for the time being."

She looks at him, confusion on her features.

"Yeah, I live a couple doors down from you, I've seen you around. "

Again, how in the world had she never seen this attractive guy before? And did he seriously just own up to watching her?

"Someone might think you're stalking me."

He smiled again, making her heart jump.

"Nope, I just like to watch beautiful things as they go by. Like sunsets or sunrises."

Lucy's face was red. This guy had a way with words.

"I'll be in your care, Lucy."

Her heart stutters in excitement to see him again.

"Yeah, and I will be in yours."

He waved at her before dissapearing into the crowd of people shoving to get back into their homes and beds.

Levy looked at the blushing Lucy and the disappearing Natsu, turning her head multiple times.

"What, exactly was that? Did he just openly say he stalked you and will continue to do so? And did I not just hear him call you beautiful?"

The blonde turned away from her friend.

"He called me gorgeous before you got here."

Levy squealed, the high pitch noise making a passerby cringe.

"Oh. My. God. Lucy. He totally digs you. A really hot, almost naked guy is into you."

Lucy's face was a cherry.

"What will I do, Levs?"

The girl snickered.

"Get his number, of course!"

Lucy couldn't help thinking,

Mission: Start.

After a really long nap, of course.
