Fail

This is not going well, Natsu thinks. He has to put his foot down and show his son whose boss. Nashi had gotten into the cookies Lucy made for dessert tonight…and their son has eaten half the jar. Evidence of a suspicious brown color is smeared all over his mouth that is rather obvious. But of all the damn times for him to be the one to dish discipline-

"Nashi Ignis Drag-hic!-neel!"he roared….rather unsuccessfully. Nashi only cracked up into peals of laughter.

"Again!"

Beside him, he felt Lucy snort from suppressed laughter. He glared at her only to hiccup again, rendering his ire useless. She giggled, her mouth pinched together in an effort not to smile. He would punish her later, but first came their son.

Staring down at his son since talking isn't working, he hoped his glare of disapproval would intimidate his son into feeling guilty.

Hic!

This time, Nashi curled into a ball, he is laughing so hard. Natsu felt tears burn at the corners of his eyes, he wants to cry so badly. Sensing it was time for her to step in, Lucy steps forward and her smile is wiped from her face.

"Nashi Ignis Dragneel," she murmurs in a low, intimidating voice she only uses for such situations. At once, Nashi jumps to his feet with a grim look on his face.

"You will only get half your dinner. And no rides with Happy for the rest of the week."

Pointing towards their son's room, she arches a brown at the youngest Dragneel. Head hanging, Nashi drags his feet all the way to his bed.

As soon as the door closes, Natsu falls to his knees and wraps his scarf around his face in shame. Lucy kneels down beside him, gently rubbing his back in soothing circles. He shakes his head, only to hiccup again. His groan of frustration is heard through the scaly cloth, making Lucy smile in sympathy. Her poor dragon.

"I'll get you some water, kay?"

"Kay, hic!"
