A young salmon haired man shook his sweaty hair around, sweat drops flying everywhere.

"That's disgusting, man! I'll punch you next time you do that!" Another male voice shouted. An empty water bottle hit the side of the pinkette's head.

"It's not my fault I work out, unlike you." Natsu said, throwing the plastic bottle back towards his best friend.

Gray caught the bottle in his hand, shooting it into the recycling bin. "I'm beat, I'm going home."

Natsu laughed. "That was only part of the warmup!" He took a swirl from his own water, then wiped the access sweat off of his glistening body with a towel. "Gotta put in more reps."

"I'll see you later." Gray waved, grabbed his bag and left the boxing gym.

"He's probably just gon' go on another date hoping to get somewhere." He laughed to himself.

Natsu sat for a few more minutes for a breather. Grabbing his iPhone from his gym bag, he read all the notifications on his phone screen.

-Hey babe, when are you coming back?

-Babe

-Babe?!

-Baby, you've been gone forever! I miss you <3

You don't need to go to the gym everyday, spend more time with your own girlfriend.

Natsu let out a hasty groan, quickly texting her back with a few words.

-I'll be done soon, I love you.

He only had to wait for a few mere seconds before his screen lit up again.

-Baby, I love you too <3 I can't wait for you to come back!

Natsu half-smiled, putting his phone back into his bag before he got up to put in another workout.

"Man, I really feel like gettin' fired up to punch somebody." He smirked, cracking his knuckles. He security wrapped the athletic tape around his hands, grabbed his gloves and looked for someone willing to have a few matches against.

__________ ∙∘✧❀✧∘∙__________

After a couple hours, Natsu slammed through his front door completely exhausted. Even though his body was tired, he felt better to know he got a top-notch workout in.

"Babe! I missed you, you've been gone for hours!" A feminine voice yelled from his kitchen.

The scent led him towards the kitchen, seeing his girlfriend baking cookies once again. "Hey, Lis. I'm sorry, but I've been preparing for my fight that's coming up." Natsu said, walking over and kissed her on the cheek.

Lisanna sighed. "I know, but you're always gone, I never get to see you like I used to years ago. It's got me worried." She opened the oven and scooped out the tray of cookies, setting them on the oven.

"Baby," Natsu said, leaning his chin on her shoulder. "I'd never cheat on you, we've been together for almost two years."

"You're always just so focused on fighting instead of me." Lisanna sighed, puckering out her lips in annoyance.

Natsu heavily breathed through his nose. "It's been my passion for ten years, I wanna get better. I don't get why you're so upset."

"Because you don't spend enough time with me." She complained back, rolling her eyes at her dumb boyfriend. How could he clearly not see his priorities straight?!

He groaned, trying to think of a plan to make her calm down. "Fine, I'll just go for a run tomorrow morning, it'll be my recovery day," Natsu said, sliding his hand across her lower back. "I'll spend all day with you if it makes you happy, babe."

Lisanna secretly smiled, giggling as he pecked a few more kisses along the side of her face. "See? It's not that hard to spend time with someone you love."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a deep kiss. Her fingers wove through his soft salmon-colored locks, forcefully pushing her lips harder on his.

After a few more seconds, Natsu tiredly pulled away. "Sorry, I'm just tired."

Lisanna pouted, her bottom lip popping out. "But I wanna kiss you."

"Maybe later, I'm not in the mood," Natsu replied, stealing a hot cookie and biting into it. "I gotta take a shower."

The whitenette rolled her eyes, tapping her fingers against his hair. "Fine." She retracted her arms, letting him retreat upstairs to the shower.

She snaked out her phone from her pocket, seeing a bucketload of notifications already. After scrolling down, a sneaky smile appeared on her lips as she read a certain text.

So when ya gon' be done with that broke-ass boxer? You keep me waitin' too long ;)

Lisanna heard the shower turn on, knowing that Natsu was in. As he thumbs quickly formed a reply, a giggle escaped between her lips.

-Maybe tomorrow night, you can come to my place ;) I'm at my bf's house rn, ttyl.

She stuffed her phone back in her pocket and decided to put away the now cooled-off cookies in a tin, humming to herself without any regret.

After about ten minutes, Natsu was done showering. Drying off, then slipped his undergarment and black sweatpants on.

"Fuck, I forgot to roll out." He said, stretching his shoulders back to feel some of the soreness kick in. He usually rolled out every time, but Lisanna was practically begging him to come to his house so he accidentally skipped a crucial part to finishing a hefty workout.

He flopped on his bed, the pleasurable feeling of letting his muscles relax was more than great.

The door propped open with Lisanna coming in mindlessly, giggling as she saw him shirtless on the bed. "Hey Natsu.." She practically purred, strolling to his bed to crawl up next to him, biting her lip.

Natsu smirked, sitting upright. "Hm?"

"You know you look so...distracting right now." Lisanna said. She reached her hand out to grab his hair, bringing him forcefully into a sloppy kiss.

Natsu automatically started moving his lips against hers, lowering himself back down with her on top. His calloused hands held her hips firmly, feeling her body roughly move on his.

After a few minutes of making out, Lisanna started to run her hands over his extremely well-toned chest, letting herself kiss the side of his neck.

"Babe, I'm tired, I just wanna rest." Natsu said. He took his hands off of her, looking up at the disappointed expression on her face.

"We've never had sex because you always say you're tired." Lisanna spat, rolling her eyes as she slipped off from sitting on him, laying on the other side of the bed. "You're like, never in the mood for anything."

"I just want to wait till it's right," Natsu started, running a hand through his dampened hair. "And I'm exhausted from earlier."

"Whatever." She replied, completely annoyed and turning her body away from him. She didn't notice her phone had slipped from her pocket onto the space between them.

Natsu sighed, already knowing she was pissed off at him again. Why was it she got mad over the simplest things? She clearly knew his schedule and still, to this day, argued with him about it.

The screen lit up from her phone, catching his attention. He grabbed it, reading the message.

-I'll see you then <3

His eyebrows heavily furrowed, an instant wave of suspicion jolting through him. "Lis, who's this?" Natsu demanded, holding the phone screen at her. His voice was not gentle in any way towards her.

Lisanna mentally screamed, quickly coming up with a partial lie. "Oh--It's just my friend! There's going to be a new café opening soon, and we wanted to try it out." She plastered a fake smile, knowing he'd cluelessly believe it. There was a new café opening soon, but that definitely wasn't her plan to visit that place.

"Really? Sounds interesting, I'll have to try it out." Natsu said, tossing her phone back to her. He turned on his side, mentally giving him a note in the back of his thoughts to remember that.

'I wish I didn't have to stay home all day tomorrow after my run.' Natsu groaned in his thoughts, pulling the blanket up halfway to his chest. Before they started dating, he warned her he'd be gone most of the time. She's known for five years ever since they met, and she still hates him for it.

Lisanna secretly smiled as she texted her "friend" back, then setting her device on her charger. 'He's so oblivious.'
