After deciding to end Everyday Lives, I hope it's easier to find certain chapters this way. Hope you don't mind.
Summary: The girls are going shopping. So what do the guys do to pass the time? Play wii of course.
Fairy Tail and it's characters belong to Hiro Mashima.
On a normal work day, Natsu wakes up excited for his day. He feeds Happy and gives Lucy a kiss as she leaves for work before getting himself dressed.
On a normal Saturday, Natsu sleeps in as late as he can, and when he does wake up , he and his fiancee share a very slow love making session in bed, or a steamy shower together.
On a normal Saturday, Natsu loves his life.. but on this particular Saturday, he doesn't..
Natsu sat on the bed wearing nothing but a frown as he watched as Lucy got dressed to go shopping with her friends.
He woke up a little earlier this morning and turned his head and and attempted to wrap his arms around her only to find an empty bed. He sat up and heard the shower running. Grinning, he stripped his shorts and went to join her.
He wrapped his arms around her slippery shoulders.
"Morning handsome," she turned in his arms and snuggled into his chest.
The smirk on his face grew as he reached down to grope her round buttocks..
"Not today, Natsu."
..only to be severely disappointed. She turned around and continued to wash herself as if he wasn't even there, leaving him with his arms extended, blinking.
His Saturday morning routine was being rudely interrupted, oddly enough, by his Saturday morning treat.
"Huh?"
When he tried to get her in the mood, all he got was a loofah in his face.
So now he was sitting on their bed with a pillow in his lap as he watched his girl try on different outfits.
"Where are you going again?"
"Natsu," turning to look at the pouting male again, she sighed, "me and the girls are going down town to look for bridesmaid dresses. I've told you that three times!"
"But why today? Saturday is the only day I get you to myself."
She did feel bad for him, he worked all week long and only had the weekends off. While she only worked Sunday through Thursday. Saturday really was the only day to be together, unfortunately, it was the only day the girls could get together too.
"I'm sorry sweetie. But as you know, Erza works with you. Today was the only day for her to go with us."
Natsu ground his teeth together before jumping out of bed and picking her up.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"She couldn't help but giggle as he placed kisses all over her face.
"You're abandoning me to go shopping with that demon woman," he was still pouting.
"Levy and Juvia are going too. But don't worry, I'll make sure I'm home in time for dessert."
"Hm? Luce, you know I don't care for desserts..."
When he saw the lustful look in her eyes, he knew she wasn't talking about food.
"Oh, you better not be, I don't like to wait for my dessert," he smirked.
She smiled at him and pecked him on the mouth as they heard the doorbell ring.
"Really?! I finally get a little action and there's someone at the damn door.." he trailed off as he left the room to answer the door. Lucy watched him walk away appreciatively, until she realized what he was doing.
"Natsu! Wait!"
"Yo, Ice Princess, what's up?" Nastu greeted Gray and Juvia as he opened the door, ignoring the shouts of Lucy behind him. Both of their faces were beat red, "What's wrong? It's freezing outside. You're all red, you hot or something?"
"Natsu!"
"Oh, Juvia's poor eyes!
"Put some pants on you moron!"
Natsu looked down at himself and realized he was still naked. Whoops.
Natsu sat on his couch sporting a rather large knot on his head, courtesy of his fiancee. Beside him, Gray was pissed his girlfriend saw his best friend naked. Juvia and Lucy were in the kitchen looking at bridal magazines.
"What are you doing here you Ice Bastard?"
"All the girls are going shopping. Gajeel called and said we should have a rematch."
Natsu's smile turned demonic, "A rematch, huh? Sounds like fun."
"He's bringing the supplies, so get ready Flame Brain," Gray turned to him smirking.
"You better be ready for me to win this time, Ice Princess."
As the boys were going back and forth on who would win, Lucy and Juvia looked up from the magazines with confused looks.
"What kind of rematch are they talking about?"
"Juvia doesn't know and Juvia doesn't want to know, either."
All they did know was that the men in their lives were nuts.
"Now call if you need anything."
"I'll be fine, have fun."
"Don't put to much strain on it, Doctor's orders!"
"I know dear, I was there."
"If I find out you were acting like a fool with these idiots, I swear I'll-"
"Darling, it's fine. I'll be just fine."
Erza crossed her arms and glared at the three men on the couch behind her husband.
Gajeel and Levy arrived not long after Gray and Juvia. The boys had already been rough housing by the time Erza and Jellal arrived.
Jellal had been in an accident about a week ago on his way home. His right leg was broken and Erza, being the ever so loving wife she was, didn't want anything to happen to her man.
However, leaving him alone with Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel went against that hope.
"He'll be fine Erza, he's smarter than those three combined. If we don't leave soon, Lucy is going to have nervous breakdown," Levy said as she watched Jellal kiss Erza to make her feel better.
Levy and Erza looked over to see the bride-to-be give her groom a long goodbye kiss.
"I don't think she minds all that much," Erza smiled as she watched the couple.
"Hey, come on Titania! Let go of the chain a bit and let Jellal have some fun!" Gajeel came around and put his large hand of Jellal's shoulder. Erza's eyes immediately narrowed.
Levy decided to stop the madness before it began. Be it man or woman, Erza wanted no one touching her hubby.
"Alright girls, lets get going. We have a lot of stuff to do!" She exclaimed, handing Juvia to Erza, who was telling her beloved Gray how much she was going to miss him. She made Jellal sit down on the couch. She pulled Natsu and Lucy apart and pushed Lucy towards the door. Finally, she gave Gajeel a peck on the cheek, said her goodbyes and dragged her friends outside.
"Midget's got some skills, huh," Gajeel was looking at the door where his girlfriend had just left with a silly grin on his face.
"Yeah, yeah. Are we gonna play or not?" Natsu asked as he went to the kitchen to see what kind of snacks they had.
"Yeah, ready to kick your butt, Salamander!"
Gray sat next to Jellal on the couch, "How's it going? Looks like Erza's going all... well.. Erza."
Jellal chuckled, "I get that a lot. It's fine really. She may seem bad but she only acts like that when she has to leave me alone."
"Yep. That's our Erza."
"Are you girls gonna sit there and gossip all day or are we gonna play?"
Gray and Jellal looked up to see Natsu holding out two Wii controllers. A blue and pink one.
"The pink one is Luce's. You get to use it, Gray,"Natsu said with a big ass grin on his face.
"Yea me." Gray took the controller from Natsu and tripped him as he walked away.
"OK, same rules as always?" Gajeel sat on the end of couch as Natsu sat in his recliner.
"I think we should make it more interesting," Natsu turned to look at the guys.
"I don't know if I like where this is going," Jellal whispered.
"What do you have in mind Flame Brain?" Gray, on the other hand, was interested.
"Loser has to do an interview with Levy's magazine, and a pool side photo shoot!
"What does shrimp have to do with this?"
"I'm in, can't wait to see you in a speedo, Natsu."
"I'm not sure about this.."
"Deal! Now lets play!" Natsu started up the game for war. Mario Kart Wii, part 7. Gajeel and Gray had tied for 1st in the last two wars. Natsu and Jellal had to go to the amusement park in any outfit that the winners wanted. Let's just say there was a reason Natsu decided to change the punishment game.
"I call Bowser!" Gajeel raced for his favorite character.
"Please, no one beats Toad," Gray choose the little guy.
Jellal chuckled at their antics, enjoying the childishness that revives the spirit, "Well then I choose my favorite too," he said as he headed for the little yellow turtle, Koopa Troopa.
"You guys are all gonna loose! I've been practicing!" Natsu yelled as he choose, in his opinion, the best racer, Donkey Kong.
"Hm, last time we used the Mushroom Cup, is it time for the Flower Cup again?" In their wars, Jellal is player 1, because he keeps a level head at all times and won't throw the remote.
"Yeah, let's get to it already!" Gajeel hated to wait.
"Alright, in 3.. 2.. 1.. WAR!" Natsu yelled as their game began.
"Catch me if you can, losers," Gray yelled as Toad took an early lead.
"Aw, shit! Come on!" Gajeel got Bowser stuck in the grass on the first turn.
"Right behind ya Ice- DAMN IT! Who got the damn squid! I can't see!"
Jellal was not as verbal as the rest of them, but he was very good at ruffling the others feathers.
The game went on for hours. They played multiple courses. On the last race until the last the score was such: Gray was in 2nd place, Natsu was at 3rd place, just a few points away to be tied with Gray. Gajeel unfortunately was in 7th place, the previous race he fell off the course too many times. Jellal was in 5th place, he wasn't too worried though.
"Eat my smoke!" Natsu cried as the last race began.
"We're on an ice track, this is my home territory boys!" Gray smirked at the prospect of winning three war's in a row.
"Damn, gotta stay in first the whole time to win this one." Gajeel was actually sweating.
Jellal was calm and just played the game.
"No, no, no, no, no! Damn, stupid monkey."
"Alright, one gold star for me please. Go, Toad, go!"
"Turbo booster! That's what I'm talking about!"
...
"Alright! How about some banana's Metal Face!"
"Watch your aim, Natsu!
"Shove it, Salamander!"
...
"Alright! This one's in the bag!"
"No! Shit! I hate those stupid penguins!"
"Last round, I'm comin' for ya first place!
...
"NO! Where'd those stupid shells come from!"
"What the fuck.. How'd I fall off! I was in the center of the track!"
"Oh damn it, Bowser's too clumsy for this course.."
...
"Shit! I'm in 10th place! HURRY UP YA STUPID MONKEY!"
"Oh hell, stupid booster won't help on the freaking ice!"
"DAMN IT!"
...
Crossing the finish line 1st was Koopa Troopa, 9th place was Natsu, 11th place was gray, and 12th was Gajeel.
The boys stared at the screen waiting for their final scores to pop up. Gray got out his score board to count up all the points together on to find that..
"Damn it. How do you never come in first until the final race and some how end up winning the whole damn thing, man?!" Gray turned to Jellal.
"What?! You mean the stupid turtle won?!" Natsu jumped onto his chair, fuming.
"You gotta be shittin' me.. You don't even care about the punishment games.." Gajeel was depressed his winning streak had come to an end.
"Well you know what they say, slow and steady wins the race, right?" Jellal smiled at them as they were throwing him the most evil faces right now, "Not to mention, I look horrible in a speedo, you can ask Erza. So I actually need to call the girls now and make sure they pick up some while they're in town."
As Jellal hobbled into the kitchen to call the girls, Gray, Natsu, and Gajeel all sank to the floor in humiliation.
"Speedos? What for?" Erza wanted to laugh but was to in shock to do it.
"Punishment game? What did I tell you about not goofing off with those idiots! These stupid wars of yours are going to get you hurt far worse than a broken leg, Jellal! Do I have to watch every move you make? I mean what happens when we have a child? I can't take care of you and a baby!"
Levy and Juvia turned around from the dressing rooms once Erza started to shout.
"What do you think you guys?" Lucy came out of the room wearing an absolutely stunning wedding dress.
"Oh Lucy! You look so beautiful!" Levy started to tear up seeing her friend.
"Juvia is so happy for you! Especially since you are not going to marry her darling Gray! You look wonderful, Lucy!" Even after all these years, Juvia still thought Lucy liked Gray at one point.
"Oh the nerve of those idiots," Erza finally hung up the phone, "Lucy, you stunning."
"Thanks you guys! Do you think Natsu will like ie?" Lucy knew Natsu didn't care about what she wore, but she really wanted to take his breath away.
"Natsu will love anything you wear, Lucy, you know he loves you no matter what," Erza smiled softly as she remembers her own wedding.
"Juvia agrees."
"Oh Lu, you know Natsu better than we do. You know he'll love it," Levy came up and hugged Lucy.
"Thanks, not let me get out of it. I don't wanna ruin it just yet!"
"Yes, save that for the wedding night."
Lucy poked her head back out of the room, "ERZA!"
"So what are the guys up too?" Levy asked.
"Oh it's unbelievable! Those morons actually have a punishment game for the losers of Mario Kart."
"...seriously."
"Juvia believes she heard you say speedo's?" Juvia couldn't help but imagine Gray wearing one.
"Oh that's the punishment game. The losers get to have a pool side photo shoot and interview with your magazine, Levy?"
"What, are you serious?" Lucy came out of the room, desperately trying to hold back her laughter.
"Oh that's right, I have a new photographer and she asked for any kind of job, so I asked Nastu if any of the guys at the fire station would be willing to a shoot for the coming summer issues. I guess this is how he's going to use it."
"Oh my goodness," Juvia was almost in hysterics herself, "who won, Erza?"
"Jellal won, so the other three have to do it. He called saying that they need a new swim suit just for the occasion."
"Gray must wear.. a speedo.."
"Oh Gajeel, that'll be a nighmare.."
"Oh I need to get Natsu a swim suit anyway for our honeymoon, but a speedo.."
Erza smiled as she watched them talk about their men in speedos, glad she didn't have to buy one. Jellal looked positively yummy in a speedo. She didn't want to share.
Meanwhile..
"Come on! One more chance!" Natsu begged while on his knees.
"Name your price, I'll pay anything!" Gray pleaded.
"Can't we just use our normal punishment!" Gajeel screamed as he lay face down on the couch.
Jellal watched them suffer with a smile on his face. It was about time he won a game.
