Chapter 2

Natsu's POV

Nothing like a fight to work off sexual frustrations. Punching the ice freaks face several times is always a great place to let off steam. Maybe now I can look Lucy in the eye, instead of lower.

"So who won?" She asked with a smile in her voice.

"I did!" Gray and I said in unison, which almost started another fight, but Lucy yelled "Enough! How about showing me some gratitude and eat the breakfast that I bought for you guys! " Pointing at the now cold plates. Not a problem for me of course.

I sunk my head down and apologized. I'll admit I liked her mad face, but not her kicks. No way in hell would I tell her what I thought of her mad face. I wasn't that much of an M. (masochist and if you don't know what that means, you're probably too young to be reading this story)

"So what's our next job?" Lucy asked excitedly. I really don't like how she's included the ice-tard in this conversation. Even if he is technically part of our team. Who the hell invited him anyway? It started of just me and her, and Happy of course.

"Can't this week or, most likely, next either." Gray responded. My ears definitely perked up at that. Whoot! Pervy ice princess can't come! "Somehow I got talked into going on a mission with Juvia. Think I was drunk at the time, but I keep my promises." He put his head in his hands, as if the headache coming was more than he could bear.

Hehehehe. Serves him right, the flirty bastard.

"Why don't you just admit you like her, and ask her out already?" Lucy said teasingly. Yeah, and stay away from Lucy while you're at you stripping freak.

"Sure she's hot enough." He responded with a sigh, leaning back in his chair, "but I'd rather be with someone who doesn't turn into a literal puddle just because I look at her directly. Plus the stalking thing creeps me out."

Lucy cringed a little at that, "That's true. I guess I'm a little biased because she's my friend but from your point of view I can see why she might not be your preferred choice in girlfriend. But she really does love you, and she has a ton of good qualities, maybe if you talked with her a bit more, she'd get used to you, and not freak out so easily? Plus she's really toned down the stalking bit." She said encouragingly.

"Well the next week will kind of force that situation upon her. I just hope I don't have to carry her the whole time because she fainted. It's annoying as hell. "

"Well, try not stripping in front of her so much. " She responded wryly.

"Hmmmm, why don't I see you fainting at the sight of me? I don't think I'd mind that at all." He leaned in and said suggestively. "I've also got a soft spot for brown eyes."

Before she could answer, I knocked his chair out from under him. Grabbed her hand went to the board ignoring Gray's curses at me. Stupid bastard.


Sorry, I know it's short, but I just love how it ended. Gray on his ass :)
