Recap: Natsu and Happy arrived back home after mission complete! They had done a good job, and Natsu hadn't over did it, she didn't destroy anything, and she even got a nice sized reward for doing the job within the time limit.
"That was a lot easier then I thought it would be." Natsu laughed, her pack on her back and Happy flying around her head. "Aye!" Happy said.
Neither of them had really had a chance to bathe properly in the past two weeks, though they did soak in the hot springs near where they camped, as Natsu refused to pay jewel for a hotel to stay at, it would have costed even more then it had when Natsu bought her house before.
"First stop! Home for a nice hot shower!" Natsu said, and with that Happy and her made their way home.
Happy flew behind Natsu as the duo made their way home.
"So, why did we have to go on such a long mission Natsu?" Happy asked.
Natsu bit her lip, she normally told Happy everything, they'd been friends since she was a kid, she hatched Happy after all!
"Uh...er...it's...because..." Natsu began, fidgiting a bit, clearly uncomfortable. "Let's go into the house first...I don't want to talk about it out here." she finished. "Aye!" Happy said.
They made their way into the house and Natsu collapsed onto her couch with a soft groan. "Hibiki talked to me at the party the night before we went on our job." Natsu began. Happy settled on the arm of the couch. "And?" he said.
"He said I have the symptoms of being in love." Natsu said, her voice soft. "The problem is, I don't know if I am, and...if I am who I'm in love with!" she tugged at her long pink hair with a groan.
"So...you were told you were in love, and you don't know if you are, or who it is if you are?" Happy said, a bit confused.
"Basically." Natsu said. "Well...who are the ones you could possibly be in love with?" Happy asked, Natsu was surprised he wasn't teasing her.
"I'm not sure. I mean...there's Gray obviously, we've known one another forever." Natsu said. "You danced with Sting at the party." he said. Natsu nodded. "I talked to Rogue too." she smiled. "You've fought both Laxus and Gajeel, though I don't know if that would really count...there's also Lyon, but he's got Juvia right?" Happy said. "Yeah, then there's Loke...he hits on me all the time." Natsu laughed.
"So there are seven guys you might possibly have feelings for." Happy said, which made Natsu nod.
"Alright, time to shower!" Natsu said as she hopped up off the couch and proceeded to strip her clothing off. Happy laughed and remained on the arm of the couch.
Lucy and Erza were sitting inside Lucy's apartment planning about how to get Natsu to admit who she liked!
"I think we should interview each of her potential mates." Erza said, to which Lucy nodded. "Yes I agree! Let's come up with some questions to ask them all!" she laughed.
Somewhere in Magnolia Gray suddenly felt impending doom.
Somewhere in Crocus Gajeel suddenly felt as if something bad was going to happen.
Somewhere in Hargeon Laxus suddenly felt a bit anxious.
Somewhere within the Sabertooth Guild Hall Sting and Rogue suddenly felt uneasy.
Somewhere in Onibus Loke felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.
Within the Lamia Scale Guild Hall in Margaret Town Lyon felt unease settle in his gut.
Natsu hummed to herself as she showered. She shut the water off after rinsing the soap off her skin and hair before jumping out of the shower. She used her flames to dry herself off, before wrapping a towel around herself as she walked to her bedroom to get dressed.
Gray was walking around Magnolia minding his own business when he was suddenly tackled. "Erza!" He exclaimed as soon as the scarlet haired woman placed him down on a chair inside Lucy's apartment.
"Welcome back Erza, oh! You brought Gray!" Lucy said, her face suddenly seeming very creepy as she grinned, which caused Gray to look at her funny.
"Why was I brought here?" he asked. "The answer is simple. We're going to ask you some questions on about why you think you'd be a good match for Natsu." Erza said, as if the answer was common knowledge.
"Oh, okay. Wait, what?" Gray exclaimed. "What makes you two think I want to date flame breath?!" he asked.
"We have a list of guys, and we're going to interview them all. You're one of them. Suck it up buttercup." Lucy said.
'Lucy can be just as scary as Erza!' Gray thought to himself.
"Alright, here we go. Question number one:
'If you were to take Natsu on a date, where would you take her?'" Lucy asked.
Gray blinked, he didn't think they were serious, but the looks on their faces said otherwise.
"I'd take her to Mitsukai's Buffet, that way she could eat to her hearts content, plus the atmosphere there is nice." Gray said. He'd actually planned on asking Natsu to join him there one day, but he always chickened out.
"Alright, question number two:
'If you could do anything with Natsu, what would it be?'" Erza asked.
"Uh..." Gray scratched the back of his head. "If I could do anything with her...I'd want to simply spend a day with her with no fights or brawls." he said honestly.
Lucy and Erza smirked at one another.
"Alright, time for question three.
'What kind of gift would you buy Natsu for your one month anniversary?'" Lucy asked.
"I would buy her a bracelet." Gray said. "A charm bracelet made out of unmeltable metal." he finished.
"Now for question four:
'You've been dating for a few months, and all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to take your relationship to the next level?'" Erza asked.
Gray blinked. "I wouldn't do anything to make it go there. I'd want it to move naturally." he said, when he saw the glares he flinched a bit and spoke up again. "Other then that, I'd set up a nice romantic evening for the two of us that would hopefully lead there." he finished.
"Final question:
'After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?'" Erza asked.
"I'd ask her to move in with me, take jobs to get extra money to help take care of her and the child, eventually work up the nerve to ask her to marry me and continue to care for her even after the child was born. If I helped her create the child then I'm going to be a man about the situation and do what I can." he said.
"Alright, you can go now, I heard Natsu is back in town." Lucy giggled as she shoved Gray out of her apartment.
Gray shook his head and stuffed his hands into his pockets. "Women..." he muttered before beginning to walk, his feet eventually led him to Natsu and Happy's place.
Natsu's laughter could be heard from outside. Gray smiled to himself and knocked on the door.
"Oh Gray!" Happy exclaimed as he opened the door. "Natsu is getting dressed, give her a few minutes." he finished. "Alright." Gray said, making a move to wait outside, only to have Happy pull him inside. "Sit here, I'll go get her!" Happy said.
Gray blinked and shook his head, first two crazy women and now a crazy cat. What was happening in Fiore?
"Natsu! Natsu!" Happy exclaimed as he flew into the girls room. "Gray is here, he's in the living room!" he finished.
Natsu blinked. "Ehh...Whaaaat?" she squealed, her door was basically open and she was mostly naked!
"It's okay, he's just on the couch." Happy assured her. Natsu nodded. "Alright, I'll be dressed in a few minutes then. Let him know I guess." she said. "Aye!" Happy said before he flew off.
"She's just going to finish getting dressed before coming down." Happy said as he arrived back in the living room. "Okay." Gray said, he seemed a bit nervous as he sat there waiting for her. "Say, did something happen Gray, you're acting weird. Well, weirder than normal." Happy said.
"Erza and Lucy asked me a bunch of weird questions about Natsu today." Gray said, as he leaned back on the couch a bit. "Weird like?" Happy asked. "They asked me things like where we'd go for our first date, what I'd get her for a month anniversary gift, if I got her pregnant what I'd do..." Gray said. Happy simply nodded. "They're just being girls." Happy said.
Gray chuckled. Natsu walked into the living room, she had on a loose blouse and some shorts. "What do I owe the pleasure Ice block?" she asked, her arms crossed over her ample chest as she healed against the wall, her hair in a messy ponytail.
"I can't just come to hang out with you Natsu?" Gray asked, mock hurt in his voice. "Lucy and Erza are being weird Natsu." Happy said. "That's not really news Happy, they've always been weird." Natsu said, which caused Happy to laugh.
"Say Natsu, why don't we have Gray come with us fishing tomorrow?!" Happy said. Natsu shrugged. "I doubt ice block will want to go, but go ahead and invite him." she said before stretching a bit and walking into her kitchen to get something to eat.
Happy turned to look at Gray. "You're one of them you know." Happy said, causing Gray to give him a funny look. "You know one of the guys Natsu might be in love with." Happy elaborated. 'How is it a cat knows about this..' Gray thought to himself.
"You really should go fishing with us sometime though, I bet Natsu would love it!" Happy said. "Oi! Happy, don't go putting any weird thoughts into ice blocks head!" Natsu called out from the kitchen. Happy laughed a bit at Gray's expression, the ice make user had forgotten Natsu had insane hearing.
Erza grinned as she spotted Loke arriving by train. "Lucy get ready for prospect number two!" She called out before grabbing the ginger male. "Hey! What's the big idea?!" a couple girls yelled at the red head as she manhandled Loke.
"None of your business. Run along now." Lucy said as she glared. The girls scattered as Lucy and Erza took Loke back to Lucy's place to question him.
"What the fuck?" Loke spat out after he was deposited in the same chair Gray had been in an hour before. "Why did you two just abduct me?" he asked, fixing his glasses. "Well..not that I'm going to complain much, two beautiful girls captured me after all." he smirked.
"Are you sure we should ask this womanzier these questions Erza?" Lucy asked, turning to her partner in crime. "Yes, if he's the one she's in love with we have to know he's going to be good for her." Erza said.
"Someone's in love with me? I wonder who the lucky lady is." Loke smirked. "We never said she was, we merely stated that she might be. Don't get full of yourself pervert." Lucy said.
"Alright, let's begin the questions!" Lucy said, nodding to Erza.
"If you were going to take Natsu out on a date, where would you take her?" Erza asked.
Loke blinked behind his glasses. "Wait, so Natsu is the one in love? Possibly with me? I knew my charm would win eventually!" he grinned.
"Answer the question Loke." Lucy said, glaring at him.
"I'd take her to that one bar-be-queue place in town, the one with the sticky ribs and the thick steaks. She'd love it." He said, shrugging a bit.
"If you could do anything with Natsu, what would you do?" Lucy asked.
"Anything huh?" Loke smirked, earning himself a whack on the back of the head. "Stop being pervert!" Lucy yelled.
"Alright, alright, calm your tits woman." Loke said. "I'd take her to a fireworks festival and let her get close enough to eat the flames as they went off." he said.
"What kind of gift would you buy for Natsu for your one month anniversary?" Erza asked.
"I'd buy her a star." he said.
"You've been dating for a few months, but all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to move your relationship to the next level?" Lucy asked.
"I'd make sure she was comfortable with me before I tried anything, I value my jewels thank you." he started. "But in all seriousness I'd make the night something magical to remember. The night would start off with a candle lit dinner, followed by a decadent dessert both coupled with wines that complimented them, then the bedroom would be full of rose petals and candles to set the mood." he finished.
"After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?" Erza asked.
Loke scratched the back of his head and shrugged. "I don't know. I'd take care of her of course, and I wouldn't let the child grow up without knowing it's father, but I'm not sure how exactly I'd deal with the situation at the very start." he admitted honestly.
"Alright, that's all we had to ask you. If you find Gajeel, Lyon, Sting, Rogue or Laxus tell them Erza would like to speak to them, and that I'll be here at Lucy's." Erza said as she threw Loke out of Lucy's house.
"Two down, five to go." Lucy said as she held her hand up with a grin. Erza grinned back and slapped her hand into Lucy's.
About half an hour later there's a knock on Lucy's door. Erza answers it.
"Oh, hello Gajeel. I take it Loke told you I wished to speak to you?" Erza asked.
"Yeah, what's this shit about anyway?" Gajeel asked, his voice gruff as he grunted a bit.
"Come in and sit down, we've just got some questions for you is all." Lucy said, causing Gajeel to quirk his eyebrow.
"Alright, but this shit better be fucking worth it." he said. Lucy simply laughed as Erza glared at the iron dragon slayer.
"What do the questions even pertain to?" He asked. "They're to see if you'd be good enough should you be the one Natsu is in love with." Lucy said.
Gajeel blinked a few times, before grinning. "It's about Pinky eh? I'll bite." he said.
"If you were going to take Natsu out on a date, where would you take her?" Lucy asked.
"I'd take her to a movie or a wrestling match or something. I know she's ain't fucking girly and all that shit." he said.
"If you could do anything with Natsu, what would you do?" Erza asked.
"Anything huh? Well I'd want to take her on a nice vacation probably to a casino and hopefully win money with her."
"What kind of gift would you buy for Natsu for your one month anniversary?" Lucy asked.
"I'd make her a dragon I built out of my own magic."
"You've been dating for a few months, but all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to move your relationship to the next level?" Erza asked.
"If it took that long my dominant nature would just kick in and make me claim her before I went crazy. If it weren't for that I'd simply get her in the mood and take it."
"After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?" Lucy asked.
"I'd take responsibility of course, dragons mate for life and all that shit you know? We'd make a hell of a pair though I think." he said.
Lucy giggled a bit. He was crude but honest at least.
"If you find Sting, Rogue, Lyon or Laxus let them know I'd like to speak to them, and that I'm here at Lucy's for a few more hours." Erza said as she walked Gajeel to the door. "Have a good rest of your day Gajeel." she said before shutting the door in the iron dragons face.
Laxus walked into Magnolia and began his stroll to the guild hall, only to be stopped by Loke.
"Yo, Erza said if I found you to go talk to her at Lucy's place. Something about it being urgent of whatever. Don't kill the messenger." Loke said before sauntering off.
Laxus lofted his eyebrow at the weird actions of the playboy, but he shrugged it off. "You guys go back to the guild, I'll speask to Erza."
Rogue, Sting and Lyon were all also in Magnolia at the time, Gajeel came across Rogue who told Sting they were both needed by Erza, and Loke came across Lyon. All three of them, plus Laxus went to Lucy's place.
Rogue was the first of the four to arrive, well he and Sting arrived at the same time, but Rogue was the one pulled inside.
"Is everything alright? I was told this was urgent and to make haste." Rogue said in his typical voice.
"Everything is going to be fine, we're just interviewing all the possible guys Natsu could be in love with. So are you willing to answer our questions?" Erza asked.
"Uh, yeah I guess?" Rogue said.
"If you were going to take Natsu out on a date, where would you take her?" Erza asked.
"I'd take her for a picnic, all home made food, and then a moonlit walk on the beach." He said, smiling as he thought of the date he wished to take the pinkette on.
"If you could do anything with Natsu, what would you do?" Erza asked.
"If I could do anything with her, I would do nothing at all, because I know forcing her to do things is not the way to get into her heart. She'd set you on fire before you got a chance to." he chuckled.
"What kind of gift would you buy for Natsu for your one month anniversary?" Lucy asked.
"I would buy her a pendant that matched my own and I'd infuse it with my magic, that way even when we were apart she'd still have a piece of me with her." he said, smiling fondly.
"You've been dating for a few months, but all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to move your relationship to the next level?" Lucy asked.
"I'd be willing to wait for her as long as it took. I'd want he to be as ready as I was for that step, it's always the biggest one in relationships, and for good reason to." he said, answering all the questions honestly.
"After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?" Erza asked.
"I'd ask her to move to Sabertooth with me so I could help take care of her and the child. I wouldn't ask her to leave your guild, but simply move to my place so I could take care of her properly. As it would be my job to do so, and I wouldn't neglect her." he said.
"Alright, send Laxus in when you get out there. Thank you Rogue." Erza said as she gently pushed the shadow dragon slayer out of Lucy's place.
"They want you big guy." Rogue said, patting Laxus on his shoulder causing the older male to grunt and glare.
Laxus walked inside. "What do you need?" he asked, his voice the tone of 'fuck with me and die' like usual.
"We found out some news recently about our Natsu." Lucy said. "It turns out she's in love, and we're interviewing all the possible guys she might be in love with. Are you willing to answer the questions?" Erza asked him. "Yeah, sure why the fuck not." he said.
"Good!" Lucy said, smiling a bit as she handed him a cup of water. She'd set up a cup and pitcher on the table earlier.
"If you were going to take Natsu out on a date, where would you take her?" Lucy asked.
"I'd take her to a nice movie, then to dinner. Why in that order? Because if you watch a good movie before you eat, you have something to discuss over dinner. I'd also make sure the food was top quality, and that we had something to drink to go with it." he said.
"If you could do anything with Natsu, what would you do?" Erza asked.
"If I could do anything with her, I'd want to do some traveling with her. Take her to places that I know dragons had been so she could see all the various wonders of the world, and maybe be able to find her foster father." he answered.
"What kind of gift would you buy for Natsu for your one month anniversary?" Erza asked.
"I would buy her something she would actually use. Like a new travel pack, or maybe a travel healing kit. Something she'd need. Of course I'd get her something romantic too, but that would come after the practical gift." he said.
Erza laughed a bit, she had to agree that a practical gift for the sometimes accident prone Natsu would be a smart idea.
"You've been dating for a few months, but all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to move your relationship to the next level?" Lucy asked.
"I'd take her to my place and talk sweet nothings into her ear while I stroked her hair and nibbled on her neck to get her into the mood before claiming her." he said.
"After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?" Lucy asked.
"If she got pregnant and it was for sure my child I would move her in with me and make sure she was well cared for." he said. "Nothing would befall her under my watch. I'd never leave her side, and of course I would marry her." he finished.
"Alright, thanks for answering and being such a good sport about it Laxus, you can send in either Lyon or Sting now." Lucy said.
Laxus grunted as he stood up and walked out. "Go on in there blondie." He said to Sting, before pushing the other male through the door.
"Dick!" Sting hissed at Laxus's back as the other male walked away.
"Take a seat Eucliffe." Erza said, causing him to gulp and quickly do so, so as to not get maimed, stabbed, slashed or otherwise injured.
"Why am I here?" he asked.
"You're here to answer five questions regarding our Natsu." Lucy said. "Oh, okay, but why?" he asked.
"Natsu is in love, and we're asking these questions to all the guys she might be in love with. We're trying to find out which of them is the best choice for her based on the answers they give." Erza said, Sting frowned but nodded. "Alright. Well I'm ready." he said.
"If you were going to take Natsu out on a date, where would you take her?" Lucy asked.
"I'd take her to a festival, somewhere with a lot of different kinds of food and people that way she'd never get bored." he said, smiling a bit. "I'd love to take Natsu-chan out on a date." he sighed softly, causing Erza to laugh a bit.
"If you could do anything with Natsu, what would you do?" Lucy asked.
"I'd want to dance the night away with her like we did at the celebration of her reaching S-Rank, and I'd want to be able to kiss her lips, they look so soft. I've idolized her for so long..and I'm pretty sure I love her." he said, causing the two girls to smile a bit.
"What kind of gift would you buy for Natsu for your one month anniversary?" Erza asked.
"I would buy her an enchanted wristband that had some of my magic in it, that way if she ever needed it she could sense me and find comfort." he said. "Awww! That's so sweet!" Lucy squealed.
"You've been dating for a few months, but all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to move your relationship to the next level?"
"I'd of course make sure it wasn't too soon, I wouldn't want to rush Natsu-chan into sex. I care for her enough to give her however much space she needs before we'd go to that deep level of intimacy. Of course I'd love to with her..." he sighed, a semi-faraway look in his eyes.
"After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?"
"I'd marry her, and move here to Magnolia to join her. I'd still lead Sabertooth, but she'd be my main priority. Her and the child she'd be having. I would want to be a complete family with her, marriage and more children when time allowed." he said.
"Thank you Sting, that's all the questions we had for you." Lucy said, leading him to the door and then grabbing Lyon.
"If you want I'm sure Natsu is at the guild, you can always go talk to her." she finished. Sting nodded and left.
Lyon looked at the two women in the house. "From what I've heard this is about Natsu." he said.
"Yes, we're talking to all the guys Natsu might possibly be in love with." Erza said as she sat Lyon on the chair.
"So you're telling me that I'm a possible candidate for her love?" Lyon asked.
"Yes. Are you willing to answer our questions?" Lucy asked. "I am yes." Lyon said, getting comfortable on the chair with his arms crossed over his chest.
"If you were going to take Natsu out on a date, where would you take her?" Erza asked.
"I'd take her to a place of her choosing. She'd probably pick a buffet or a pizza place, and I'd pay for whatever she wanted." He said.
"If you could do anything with Natsu, what would you do?"
"Just spending time with her would be enough for me, but being able to hold her would make my day, or night depending on the time it was I'm sure." he responded, causing the girls to squeal and smile.
"What kind of gift would you buy for Natsu for your one month anniversary?"
"I would get her a necklace, but nothing too flashy. Probably something with a crystal and dragon design to represent her nature. I've actually seen one that seems to fit her." he said.
"You've been dating for a few months, but all you've done is kiss and cuddle. What would you do to move your relationship to the next level?"
"I'd wait as long as it took for her. Though I don't think it would take much incentive to get her to want to go that far with me." he said. "She'd be putty in my hands eventually I'm sure." he finished, causing Lucy and Erza to shake their heads.
"After a night of unbridled passion Natsu falls pregnant, what would you do?"
"If that happened I would take responsibility. I would not run away, and I wouldn't toss her to the side. She would become my bride eventually, and our child would be raised with love." he said.
"Thank you for answering the questions, you can go back to doing whatever you were doing before you came here." Erza said. "Take care Lyon, try not to kill your possible love rivals." Lucy teased. "Yeah, we don't need six dead bodies on our hands." Erza said. Lyon shook his head and walked out.
"Well that was fun." Lucy said. "It seems that most of them have their heads on straight, so we've just got to wait and see who Natsu is in love with." Erza said.
"Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to see!" Lucy giggled.
