They were at it again! Tables were being thrown throughout the guild, and fire, ice and iron mixing together as well as insults. Lucy sighed as she swiftly moved towards the upper floor, avoiding icy arrows and chairs. She huffed as she sat down at one of the tables, most of the guild-members were either joining the fight or watching it. Lucy though, just wanted some peace and quiet.
It had all gone down-hill when Sabertooth came to visit, brining the rivalry between the dragonslayers up, leaving the rest of them to choose a side and cheer.
"Those idiots can't stay still for a minute, can they?" A dark voice murmured beside her which made Lucy jump and screech.
"Geez blondie, what's got your panties in a twist?" Laxus asked as he sipped on a beverage and watched the shaky blonde puff out her cheeks in annoyance.
"You're blonde too!" She yelled and turned her head to look down at the fighting again.
"Don't worry about Natsu, his head is thicker than Gajeel's iron. He'll be fine." Laxus said and smirked slightly as Natsu kept walking after being hit by a table.
"I-I'm not worried about Natsu!" She flabbergasted and shook her head to lose the blush. It was well known that the two had spent more time together recently, and in her opinion it was normal. They were best friends and partners after all. She just might have developed a few stronger feelings for the hot-headed fire mage.
"Really? Cause it looks like it." Another voice said beside her which made her jump again. Laxus laughed slightly at her screams and she pouted at him.
"Sting! I thought you were fighting Natsu?" Lucy asked and looked at the other blonde man. He just laughed at her and grinned.
"Nah, he's fighting Gajeel, they go at it at full drive!" Sting answered and glanced down at the two boys yelling at each other.
"They never give up, do they?" Lucy sighed and then noticed Sting's lack of exceed.
"Hey where's Lector?" She asked him and glanced around, as did Sting.
"No idea, I bet he's keeping Frosch out of trouble." He laughed and then lit up. He moved between Lucy and Laxus, who had been sitting quietly watching the fight below, and threw his arms around their necks. "Hey! How about we challenge the others downstairs. The three of us!" He grinned and Lucy laughed nervously while Laxus only glared and growled slightly, making Lucy want to back further away.
"It'll be fun!" He tried again and Lucy shook her head. "They'll roast and toast us." Lucy joked and gently poked Stings cheek.
"Pfft, like they could even lay a finger on me." Laxus muttered and removed Stings arm. He smile even more brightly and then looked at Lucy!
"Come on Lucy, I even came up with an awesome team name!" He pleaded.
"We ain't getting a team name" Laxus protested but Lucy cut him off.
"And what's that?" Lucy asked interested and glared slightly at Laxus.
"The Blonde Trio!" Sting burst out and Laxus stood up and protested loud making the ones downstairs look up.
"That's wonderful Sting." Lucy laughed as she quieted Laxus again.
"So you're in? We can't be a trio without you Luce!" Sting asked and Lucy noticed that Natsu was already on his way up, angry at Sting for using his special nickname for her. She smiled slightly and nodded, following the already fighting dragonslayers with her gaze. Lucy glanced at Laxus and smirked.
"So, let's go fight, blondie."
