A/N: My first Fairy Tail story! WOOT :D! Actually to be honest, my friend (DarkHope) and I are rping this whole thing... and I'm just writing it into a story xD. Wooo! I hope our idea is awesome... I think I'll make this a collection of different arcs and hopefully everyone likes them hehe. Sometimes they will be a bit cracked out, but who doesn't love that xD? If they are more than one chapter, which I believe this one will be, I'll note it in the chapters... but our stories will have to do with each other so this will probably be a really long story if you're interested xD!
Pairings: MAINLY NaLu and Gruvia, possibly with some of the other fun parings... Jerza, GaLe, and maybe Elfman/Evergreen and... all of the other characters will come into play eventually! It's just hard writing about so many characters at once...
Time: After the completed arc, the GMG! So if you aren't up to date I'm sorry, because it's really good haha. That's all...
Notes: Italics should be thoughts as well as emphasis, anddd... I think that's all.
Scene changes will be with some random symbols I used in one of my other fics:

Chapter 1
Addressed Confessions; A Bunch of Liars
It was quiet in her room except for the scribbling of a pen; paper being filled with numerous sentences. The celestial mage smiled to herself, satisfied at the way her chapter was coming along.
"Lucyyyyy!" Ah, there was the familiar disturbance in her infinite train of thoughts. His voice calling out to her through the open window which, she recalled, happened quite frequently. Oh no, more than quite frequently. It seemed to happen...
Every. Damn. Day.
"What?" she replied, almost too sweetly. Blonde hair swished, turning to address the disturbance that blundered it's way into her room, toppling onto her bed with a blue cat in its' wake.
"Happy!" he huffed, "How could you mistake the glass for a window?!" The young man rubbed his head ruefully, onyx eyes finally resting on his teammate. She was sitting at her desk, greeting him with a terrifying smile. "Hi Lucy...?"
"Sorry Natsuuuu!" was all the cat said before he, too, noticed the look on Lucy's face. "Erm..."
Auburn squinted to a glare, heated eyes regarding the partners in front of her with a frown present on her face. She ground out, "Why do you both have to barge into my room every day?! Huh?"
Salmon hair shook as his head inclined, eyeing the girl incredulously; the question didn't make the least bit of sense. "Well, we like the window... Happy was carrying me from the guild so it was easier to just...fly in...?" Natsu's voice trailed off, blinking at the exasperated girl sitting at her desk.
She exhaled, then took another ragged breath to continue her tirade, "There's a door! And if you used it, maybe I wouldn't be so angry all the time!" With a huff she added, "I'm busy. Why are you guys here?"
Happy shrugged and looked at Natsu, who just grinned at her stupidly. The dragon slayer rose from the bed and sauntered over to Lucy's chair, towering over her suspiciously. "Whatcha doing?" he asked. The pen dropped from her fingers while he snatched her loose papers into his hands. Onyx scanned them thoughtlessly while pushing away Lucy's flailing arms. A frown replaced his blank face and Lucy could only watch in utter disbelief, and horror, as he carelessly tossed her scribbles out of the window. "This sucks," he stated.
"...wh—?"
The blue feline, still sitting on the bed, put two paws over his ears. The fighting would begin in three, two, one...
"Natsu." It was low, laced with venom.
Said slayer gulped, observing the malicious energy surrounding his partner. "Yeah...?"
"WHAT. THE. HELL. IS YOUR PROBLEM?! HOW COULD YOU JUST THROW AWAY MY WORK!?" It took less than two seconds for the chair to become vacant and delicate hands to wrap around the dragon slayer's throat tightly.
"GAH—!" he choked, staggering backwards and tripping over his clumsy feet. Both of them fell, and Lucy's grip only got worse.
"I'm going to kill you!" she growled, figure hovered over the salamander's paralyzed body below her. He writhed under her, squirming and gagging with no salvation.
"Lu...cy...! I...I ca..n't...bre...athe—!" he gasped, face growing pale.
The blonde released her grip, aggravated as hell. Why did this always happen to her? Her face was flushed, palpable anger radiating auburn eyes. "Why are you here?"
Natsu inhaled, beyond desperate for air, reeling to his feet unsteadily. His chest heaved and heaved before he could even process the question addressed to him. Thank the heavens he escaped Lucy's wrath. "I can breathe again!" he puffed. Then the salmon haired mage wore a different expression: disorientation. "Huh...? Oh, we're here because we're hungry..."
The cerulean cat nodded in agreement, glad his "father" was still breathing.
A huge, frustrated sigh escaped Lucy's parted lips. The whole fiasco drained her to the point of exhaustion. And, really, all she did was strangle Natsu for a few seconds! "Well, I don't have any food here! You know I barely have any jewels to pay my rent!" Her hands clasped her head in frustration. "Why don't you go the guild and get food, huh?! Natsu, I'm so mad at you right now anyway so I'd rather you just leave!" The curves of her body accepted her hands and they locked in place, her stance dictating elbows and foreboding air.
The source of her esteemed anger pouted, collapsing next to Happy while rubbing his throat tenderly. "But...we don't have any jewels. Neither does the guild! Since your dad left you some before he died... Ji-chan figured you could help feed the guild!" he exclaimed.
"Aye sir!"
With no response from the celestial mage, Natsu continued, thoughtful. "They sent me here! I asked them why... And apparently it's because they said you like me. Well, I figured that. I mean, sheesh, you should like your nakama!" At the end of his declaration, his face held an overbearing smile.
Happy shook his head, mumbling "Natsu no baka..." and then steered his big eyes to Lucy.
"What." A crimson blush stained her cheeks, no longer flushed from being angry. "I do not like you! Who even SAID that?! And if you don't have any jewels either, then we should just go on a job together! Master doesn't know what he's talking about...my father didn't leave anything behind... You know that well, Natsu..." Her voice became distant, a forlorn look manifested in her eyes.
"What do you mean you don't like me...? I thought we were nakama..." A perturbed expression was replaced by distress; then Natsu's eyes became ablaze. "What the hell!" he shouted, growing furious with every word. "Fine! I'll just ask Gray to go on a job with me since you don't like me. I may fight with him, but he at least cares about me! I was going to ask you, Lucy, but never mind! HAPPY! Let's go." His voice reverberated through her apartment, fueling the walls with angry fire to spit back at her.
Lucy's eyes widened, blinking a few times before realizing Natsu had already stomped past her. She faintly heard Happy whine, mind wondering how the heck she ended up insulting her partner like that. "Na—Natsu! Wait!" Slender legs carried her to him, hands shooting out to grasp his right arm and swing him around in the same motion. She grasped his hand, squeezing it tightly while mustering the courage to look directly into his eyes.
"You are my nakama! You have been since I met you! I'm so sorry Natsu...don't leave!" Despite her efforts, auburn pooled with salty tears. "You're so special to me, and I know Gray cares about you... But I do too! I swear!" Allowing her eyes to glance at the floating cat beside Natsu's shoulder, her voice pleaded to him. "You believe me... Right?"
As if on cue, a rolling of the tongue ensued. "She liiiiiikes him!"
The dragon slayer ignored his feline friend, his attention on the girl in front of him. "Lucy..." His shoulders eased, the tension slowly dispersing out of his muscles as he watched liquid cascade down reddened cheeks. His free arm lifted, awkwardly brushing the water aside with clumsy fingers. A slight smile played on Natsu's lips before he spoke. "Right. I should have never doubted you... I'm sorry." He paused, squeezing her hand too as his smile widened, a grin now on his face. "Let's go back to the guild together and earn jewels for everyone and ourselves! We can make up for those seven years... Let's get our team back!"
Lucy also ignored Happy, unwilling to argue about his latest comment. Her partner's words caused her to blush for a second time, but her lips split into a genuine smile. "Thank you, Natsu... I agree! We've been asleep for so long, we haven't had a chance to make any memories these past seven years... I'm ready to be a team again... And I'm ready for more adventures with you...and Happy!" A flashy smile graced the cat, and then Natsu was being pulled out the door. "Let's go!" the blonde laughed.
Natsu showed off his own toothy grin, pumping his legs down the steps. "YEAHHH, I'M ALL FIRED UP!"
"AYE SIR!" Happy exclaimed, his wings carrying him through the air effortlessly.
They swung the door to the apartment complex open, ready to achieve their desires together. Still holding hands, Team Natsu sprinted down layers of cobblestone in the direction of Fairy Tail. After a couple of yards, their sprinting smashed themselves straight into a couple running opposite their path. All four of them hit the ground simultaneously, grunting and moaning from the impact.
A growl escaped the dragon slayers' throat, fist ready to annihilate the obstruction. "HEY WATCH WHERE YOUR—EH?" Natsu let his mouth hang open, studying the two people splayed across from him. "...Gray? What are you and... Juvia doing here?" he asked, dazed.
Happy watched the scene unfurl before him, his eyes glinting. "Natsu and Lucy... Gray and Juvia..." he sniggered to himself, floating blissfully above his fallen comrades. This should be good...
Lucy was second to recover, observing the two in front of her with an incredulous look. "Gray...? Juvia...?" Why are they here?
"What the hell!" Gray retorted, "Watch where you're going flame breath!" the ice mage fumed with narrowed eyes, exceedingly pissed off at his rival.
"Me?!" the dragon slayer repeated, his body growing heated from his anger. "Tch, shut up ice bastard! You wanna go?!"
"I'll go any time!" the ice mage exclaimed, glaring at the boy in front of him. Beside him, Juvia's cerulean eyes regarded Natsu and Lucy's hands; their fingers were interlocked and they didn't seem phased.
"Waitttt—ack!" Lucy cried. With her hand still in Natsu's, she was dragged to her feet when he jumped to his. The action was so fast that the blonde almost toppled back over; she clutched her partner's arm with her other hand to steady herself. "Jeez Natsu! Don't get up so quickly!"
Juvia's eyes widened, mumbling her thoughts aloud. "Lucy and Natsu...are holding hands..." Her mind then proceeded to fantasize; a certain ice mage and herself are on a date, holding hands. Her eyes clouded over, cheeks flushed. "Gray-sama... JUVIA SUPPORTS GRAY-SAMA!"
Ignoring Juvia's outburst, Gray too, noticed Team Natsu's intimate stance. He smirked as he stood, ocean eyes leveled with onyx. "But I think Lucy here is busy occupying your time, ne Natsu-chan?" The blue-haired girl rose to her feet next to him, dusting off her skirt silently.
At Gray's comment, Lucy instantly blushed. "W-What?" she stammered with red cheeks, wondering why the ice mage was teasing them about something so trivial. They were teammates after all! She would have retorted something, but her brain wasn't working properly. Am I missing something here...?
"E—Excuse me...? What did you say, stripper?!" Natsu retorted angrily. "Me and Happy went to get her like Ji-chan asked!" he said; his eyes narrowed and he continued talking while Lucy silently thanked Natsu for being able to speak the words she couldn't. "And why are you here? I mean, look at you and Juvia... You have no right to talk!"
The water mage snapped out of her reverie at the sound of her and her Gray-sama's name meshing together. "Juvia was going to go on a quest by herself... But Gray-sama wouldn't let Juvia go alone...so he decided to accompany her!" she said, face rosy and fingers fidgeting.
"He liiiiiiiikes her!" Happy rolled his tongue, a giant smirk on his whiskered face.
Deciding he was an idiot for interrogating the couple before him while he was with Juvia, Gray started sweating; he never sweated; he had to do something. "Well—exactly! I'm just accompanying her as her teammate! Look at you though; you still didn't let go of her hand, fireface!"
What was that, the fourth time he mentioned our hands? Lucy felt the heat from her face extend to her limbs; if she didn't let go of Natsu's hand now, he'd surely feel her, soon to be, sweaty palms! She dropped his hand but continued clinging to his arm; she felt interrogated and didn't really want to be standing there alone. Even though he's really annoying sometimes, I meant what I said before... he's really special to me.
While giving Happy a furious gaze, finally acknowledging the infamous comment, Gray simply stated, "Yes, Natsu definitely likes Lucy." Then he turned his attention to Juvia. "Don't you want to go on your job?"
"That's not what I meant exactly..." Happy replied blankly.
Juvia threw her hands in the air, exasperated from the whole ordeal. "Yes Gray-sama! Juvia wants to...unless it's too much of a bother for you..." she mumbled, arms falling to the side, now feeling dejected from Gray's previous comment: she was only a teammate.
Onyx eyes widened; he was aggravated with everything Gray was saying; and a little perturbed as to why Lucy suddenly dropped his hand. "We're starting with that stuff again? Of course I like Lucy, she is my nakama! I will protect her no matter what!" he declared boldly. Why does he keep saying all this weird stuff about us holding hands?
Curious to know how Natsu was feeling about the situation, the blonde rose her head to rest her eyes on his face. "Are you...blushing, Natsu...?" Lucy whispered, noticing a slight tint of red on his tan cheeks; was Natsu embarrassed?
"Blushing? For... For what? I mean... GAH!" Natsu willed himself to shake off the nervous feeling he had and then grunted, clearing his throat. His eyes were now on Gray again. "Sure Gray. Why did you want to go with Juvia? She's one of the strongest girls in Fairy Tail. She can handle herself! Huh?! Also...Lucy. Why are you holding onto me?" He glanced down at her; expression bewildered.
Gray shook his head at Juvia; he obviously still wanted to go on the job with her. He wore a bored expression as he looked back at Team Natsu. "Yes, nakama and lover. See?" he commented idly.
Lucy jerked her eyes from Natsu and let go of him all together, completely mortified at his blunt question. "Well I— You— We—" she stammered, swallowing thickly. Why did he have to say it like that? "F—Fine! Just finish this and let's go to the guild already..." Feeling disconcerted, she proposed a new topic as she faced the blue haired mage. "What request are you going on anyway, Juvia...?"
Beside her, Gray answered Natsu's remarks and Lucy's question. "Yes she's strong, but this job is S-Ranked! So obviously I had to accommodate her... I know you wouldn't be able to do anything, Natsu-chan." Gray chided, feeling smug at Natsu's flaring nostrils.
Deciding not to interfere with Gray's taunting, Juvia kept quiet. The faster Lucy and Natsu are together, the faster Gray-sama will be all mine!
"Gray, stop calling Natsu that! It's so weird..." the celestial mage criticized, wrinkling her nose. These two are too much sometimes...!
He shrugged, smiling at Lucy. "Defensive are we?" So predictable...
Another blush graced her face. "N—No!" Damnit Gray!
Natsu's rage radiated off his body and Lucy took a slight step away from him in fear. "I WOULD BE MORE HELP THAN YOU! In fact, I'm coming with you just to show you! Sorry to spoil your date!" He stuck his tongue out for good measure, looking quite childish. Jerk.
"Gray-sama said Juvia is strong... and Natsu said date..." the blue haired mage mumbled to herself, disappearing into Juvia-Land to fantasize about Gray for a moment. Remembering Lucy's question made her jump back into her skin and answer her diligently. "Oh, sorry. It's an S-Ranked job. We were asked to investigate a village because of a gang..." She clenched her fists. "They have been raping pretty female mages, and Juvia took it upon herself to defeat those pigs!" Cerulean eyes rested on widened auburn, noting that Lucy must have been frightened. Then she remembered something and her eyes mirrored the stellar mage's. "Oh... Juvia did not know that Natsu and Lucy were lovers."
"W—Wait a minute! We aren't lovers!" Lucy shouted, her normal skin color barely recognizable on her face. I swear I'll kill Gray!
The blue cat landed beside Natsu, his teeth flashing. "Aye! So Gray wanted to make sure Juvia didn't get raped too! That's why he took the job..."
"Tch. Juvia needs to be protected from Gray; he always strips. This might be an excuse to rape her!" Natsu countered, his lips splitting into a wide grin. Then he burst out laughing, forgetting about Lucy and all of Gray's immature bickering briefly.
"What? Gray-sama, what are they talking about?" Juvia asked, her thoughts betraying her innocent expression. Juvia would love to be raped by Gray-sama!
While in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt, Gray's brain registered what the dragon slayer had said. He immediately stopped, caught in the act. "Shit—I do not! I would never rape Juvia!" Ocean eyes rested on her angelic face, staring intently. After a while he shuddered, directing his attention elsewhere. "Actually... She may be the one raping me..." he mumbled. I should be the one fearing for my life.
"Gray! ...Though I don't argue with that... Don't say such rude things!" Lucy scolded, her hands resting on her hips. Then, everything the water and ice mage said finally sunk in; the blonde shuddered as well, terrified of the thoughts that were taking over her imagination. "Wait Juvia... Did you say a raping gang... That rapes... pretty mages...?" she asked dumbly. When Juvia nodded, Lucy gulped audibly. All color drained from her face; she was finally white again. She shook her head repeatedly, looking at Natsu with engorged eyes. "I'M NOT GOING ON THAT JOB! GO BY YOURSELF!" she all but screamed at him.
The ice mage seethed, pissed at his fellow guild members. No more games. "I don't want to ruin YOUR date, so go on a different job, dragon shit! And Happy, why don't you give Carla a fish? Or better yet, fly away with Natsu?"
Happy sulked, crossing his paws over his furry chest. "Carla never accepts fish from me..."
"Oi! We have to go, Lucy! I don't trust these two on that type of mission!" the salmon haired boy exclaimed, holding a fist in the air. "WE'RE GOING! Uh wait...what date?" He looked at Lucy, his eyebrow raised.
"Forget it, Natsu. And I'm definitely not going... No way... Not me... You can be noble Juvia... But not me..."
"Lucy!" Happy exclaimed. "Juvia said they rape pretty girls... You don't have to worry! You can go on the job!" He smiled at her.
"Juvia is noble?" the blue haired girl repeated slowly, bringing her hands to her face. "Oh my... I would love if that were to happen... With... The love of my life!" she squealed, ogling Gray. He sighed as she flushed, and then he listened to Juvia's next sentence. "But Lucy, you must not deny your relationship with Natsu anymore..."
"ARE WE GOING YET?" Natsu yelled; his blood was boiling.
"Natsu... You really should confess to Lucy..." Happy chided.
"Confess what?" the dragon slayer asked blankly. It was the cat's turn to sigh; Natsu regarded him a weird look and then turned his attention back to the ice mage. "By the way ice bastard, before you go accusing me of being around Lucy you should have thought about you and the water princess over there first. It's too obvious." he stated, crossing his arms over his chest. I really don't understand what Happy is talking about...
"Happy..." Lucy ground out. Suddenly, she was crouched down. She grabbed Happy's face and stretched it painfully. "Why don't you be a good kitty and purr?" He's dead!
"AYEEEEE! LUCYYY AYEEEE!"
Pausing her action momentarily, she inclined her head to Natsu. "I'm not going! Go yourself! I'll find a different request... and I'll ask Wendy and Carla to go with me instead!" she professed, sticking her tongue out at him.
"Ehhh?" Dark ocean eyes widened, but then narrowed considerably. Gray was getting tired of this nonsense. "Water princess? Well you're with the Heartfilia princess over there... Don't change the subject! I agree with Happy and Juvia, both of you should just confess and get out of our way. I really want to get this job started... Let's go Juvia!" He looked at her expectantly.
The dragon slayer lost his cool, not that he was ever cool, and grit his teeth. "Lucy you are going and that's that. If you don't go, then you don't care about Juvia or Gray getting raped. We're nakama!" His eyes reflected flames as he dashed toward Gray. "THERE'S NOTHING TO CONFESS!" he yelled, throwing a fire filled punch at the ice mage.
Water flew between the rivals and distinguished Natsu's dragon punch. "You will not touch Gray-sama!" Juvia proclaimed, her water surge sending Natsu backwards. She grasped Gray's hand and sprinted forward, leaving a shocked Lucy and an even more furious Natsu behind. "Yes, let's go Gray-sama!" They'll probably follow us anyway...
Staggering to his feet, the dragon slayer recovered. "HEYYYY! We're coming too, damnit!" he screamed after them, staring at Lucy for a second before grabbing her waist and throwing her over his shoulder. He ignored her protests and sprinted after the blue couple, flames dancing in his eyes. "I'M ALL FIRED UP!"
