Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of it's wonderful characters.

Rated M: For later chapter. There has to be time for sexual tension to build up!

Genres: Romance, humor, but I will also be throwing in some drama and angst. Love triangle must have some angst, in my opinion.

Pairings: ? It's more fun not to know! You'll find out as the story progresses.

Author's Notes: I figure it's about time I gave fan fiction writing a shot! Please be so kind and leave me a review. It would really help me stay motivated and focused. Enjoy the first chapter!

Chapter 1

"Natsu! If you don't stop breathing over my shoulder then I'm going to have to kick your ass," I huffed while elbowing Natsu's thigh. He started to laugh while he pushed closer against my back, reaching his arms around me to try to grab the story I was currently working on. Levy and I had been working on it for a few hours now and Natsu was starting to get antsy. Others in the guild hall began glancing our way, interest piqued for a fight.

"Aw, come on Luc. You never let me read what you write."

"Huh, I didn't know you could read," I teased while flashing him a smirk. Grabbing the papers I quickly stuffed them in to my bag.

Cana, who had been one of the people listening to our conversation, swaggered over with drooping eyelids and a big smile. "I bet it's because she write smutty love stories. Under that sweet façade is a dirty mind!"

I could feel my cheeks heating up as Cana laughed loudly. Natsu was looking back and forth between us with a confused look plastered on his face. "Lucy? No, no way," he finally said, joining in laughing.

Levy, still beside me, spoke up. "Well, as the only one who actually gets to read Lucy's writings, I can confirm that Lucy has a very sexy mind." She turned to me with that mischievous grin of hers and winked. "Guys are always chasing after her and asking her on dates. It's no wonder that she would have more experience with romance."

My mouth hung open as I blinked in surprise. She thought I had a sexy mind? It was true that sometimes my writings were a little racy. You had to be able to spice up your story in some ways. Besides, if I ever did publish them, many people enjoy a little romance in their books. I saw it as an opportunity to reach different audiences. As for dating, I wouldn't really say I was that experienced. Sure, I've gone out on a few dates but none of them led to anything special.

Gray interrupted my thoughts by leaning over the table, in all his shirtless glory, towards me. "Hey Lucy, if you ever need any more experience so you know what to write in your books then just let me know."

"LUCY KICK!"

I jumped across the table and kicked Gray as he whined about teasing. Levy cheered behind me while Natsu tried to join in on the action. As his fist lit on fire to go for a punch at Gray's stomach, Erza came from the counter and grabbed Natsu and Gray by the hair. She had her extremely scary Erza-face on while threatening violence, murmuring about trying to relax and enjoy her strawberry cake.

The rest of the day passed by and became quieter. Cana had challenged half of the guild to a drinking contest which led many of the contestants to be passed out in different positions, draped across the chairs and ground. Gajeel and Natsu had gone to practice sparring against one another a few hours ago, Levy in tow to make sure they didn't kill each other. Team Natsu had been on a quest a few days ago that had led to a very nice reward. For once I didn't have to worry about rent and could spend some time catching up on my book. Gray, who had tapped out of the drinking contest a few shots back, staggered over to where I was nestled up in the corner enjoying the view of my wonderfully dysfunctional Fairy Tail family.

"You should have joined us for the drinks," he stated, plopping down next to me. He was close enough that I could smell the fire whiskey on his breath.

"No," I chuckled. "I had too much last week. If I even got near tequila I think my stomach would start turning."

He smirked. "But I really enjoyed watching you drunkenly climb that tree and claim that you were 'the drunkest girl in a tree'." I rolled my eyes but smiled. I couldn't believe I had done that. Alcohol does weird things to me. "And when you and Levy made out, that was hot."

"I did what!?" I screeched, feeling horrified.

Gray chuckled, "No, I'm kidding. You didn't. Though I don't think Levy would mind if you did."

"You keep your drunken perverted thoughts to yourself."

"Do I have to?"

"You're such a flirt when you're drinking," I observed. "I bet Juvia loves that."

"Yeah, she does. But she's been with Lyon a lot lately. I think she's finally choosing him."

"Yeah, I did notice she's been absent more recently." I looked over in to Gray's cloudy eyes. "Does that bother you?"

"No," he answered, looking back at me. "Romance isn't my thing."

Then what is, I wonder.
