Intensity
The fight started as usual over some random comment that escalated into a shouting match and then further into an all out brawl that was crashing throughout the guild. Lucy sat on the bar trying to avoid as much damage as possible. She was glad she had climbed up when suddenly the chair she had been on caught on fire. Mirajane laughed lightly and pulled a fire extinguisher out from behind the bar and put out the flaming chair.
Some days Lucy would put a stop to the pointless fight, she was proud to say that upon occasion she could almost be as terrifying as Erza. Today she decided to let it play out, as long as she remained unscathed that was. Over the last few days she had noticed how the two boys seemed to be fighting a lot more, if that was possible, and they only needed the slightest provocation to start them. Just the other day Natsu had complained that it was cold and before Lucy could say a thing Gray had launched himself across the room at the dragon slayer. The current fight had started over Gray complaining his strawberry ice looked too pink.
Yet even stranger than their intense fights was the way they acted when Erza was around. Her presence usually worked to illicit false, nervous declarations of friendship and peace. However lately they fell for the "Oh Erza!" trick even more than usual and she would bet her apartment on it when she actually was there they stood even closer together than before. In the past as soon as the Titania's back was turned they would spring apart and glare silent daggers at each other. That was no longer the case. These days they would almost reluctantly part without a look at the other.
Of course if she even dared suggest such a thing to either of the boys they would vehemently deny it, before listing off a list of reasons why it couldn't be. Then there was also a good chance she would either get burned or frozen or possibly even both. So instead she simply sat on the bar and smiled to herself as somehow in the fight Natsu ended up on top of a naked Gray. Everything was so dramatic when it came to the pair and she'd love to be a fly on the wall when they finally admitted their feelings.
