Erza sat with Gray in Lucy's apartment waiting patiently for her arrival. The front door unlocked and in tumbled a giggling Lucy and Natsu. "Hey Luce! I'll go get the connndddd-" Natsu grew silent at the awareness of his fellow team mates presence. "Natsu what's wrong? Just go get the connnnddd-," Before Lucy could finish she looked at me. What could he be getting? "Welcome home Lucy! And Natsu," I said breaking the silence. "Oh erm, hey Erza... Gray... What brings yah here?" "Well we came here to invite you on a mission, the request it's self is small, but the payment is quite large and should cover your rent easily!" I assured her. "Oh yeah! Umm I needed rent money! I'll tag along! What about you Natsu?" I turned to see Natsu's reaction, but he was still in shock at the fact we were here, honestly he shouldn't be that surprised. "Why are you two acting so strange?" I asked them. "Isn't it obvious? They are sleeping together!" Gray concluded. Could that be? That can't be! Natsu and Lucy couldn't! They wouldn't! How is that possible?! My eyes grew wide with realization. Then Natsu broke out of his frozen state. "So what if we are stripper?! It shouldn't matter to you!" Lucy began to look at her feet awkwardly as if not knowing what to say. "Is this true, Lucy?" I asked trying to get some answers. "Well erm... Well um-," "YEAH ITS TRUE!" Natsu stated for Lucy, Betrayal hit me directly at the answer, how could they keep this a secret! There are no secrets in teams! "Why didn't you tell us Lucy?" I asked her as calmly as I could. "Well it's kinda hard to state in simple conversation," she looked down to hide her shame. Guilt washed over me. I shouldn't have expected her to tell me. These type of deals are personal. My face softened. "Do you two love each other?" This got both of their heads to turn to me. It was silent for a moment. Then Lucy answered with a soft and quiet. "Yes," Natsu turned to her with a gentle expression on his face. I could tell just by the way his eyes met hers that he cared deeply for her. I didn't need an answer from him, but he still gave me one. "More then anything," he said staring at Lucy. She looked at him and smiled. "Well that's all that matters, I answered softly, "Come on Gray, let's give them some privacy," I said grabbing his clothes that had been taken off and dragging him by the ear out of the door. I smiled softly, as I heard giggling coming from the apartment. I knew they were happy. And I was glad for them.
