The Blinding of Mirajane Strauss
/
Evergreen had been out shopping when the annoying dragon slayer and his blonde gal pal had accosted her.
Irritation spiked through her, she spent an inordinant amount of time around men, her time split between the Thunder Legion or her not-so-secret boyfriend, Elfman Strauss. She tried very hard to maintain her femininity, lest her male companions rub off on her too much. That was why she spent a great deal of her downtime either shipping or grooming herself.
Her favorite makeup boutique in Magnolia had a new line of products come out during her last mission, they were limited edition and she would be damned if she didn't get them before they ran out. If all went as planned, the boutique would have them in stock and she would be able to use them tonight for her date with Elfman.
Just as she approached the giant and colorful wall display, Natsu Dragneel and Lucy whatever-her-surname-was stopped her.
"Hey glasses!" The dragon slayer had greeted, as if they were best friends, waving to her with a giant toothy grin on his tanned face, his other hand was pulling along Lucy, her pale hand looked dainty in his.
His teammate had smiled and politely greeted her and Evergreen's mouth twitched into a frown. How fake! She had once turned the girl to stone and now she was being nice to Evergreen? The girl was either entirely too forgiving or plotting something.
Evergreen's gaze returned to Natsu's cunning chartreuse eyes, she was one of the few who saw past his bumbling loveable idiot routine to the cunning beneath, "My name is Evergreen, you imbecile, you would do well to remember that."
As always, Natsu didn't seem to care, her attitude never fazed him, "Yeah, yeah, so Lucy and I have a proposition for you! You-"
Evergreen interrupted, shaking her hand in front of his face, "I'm going to stop you right there, no, Elfman and I will not go on a double date with you two children, now run along."
Natsu laughed at that, not diverted in the slightest.
Lucy turned an unflattering shade of red and it made Evergreen smirk to see such an ugly expression on such a pretty face, "No, Evergreen, we wanted to enlist your help with a prank on Mirajane. Elfman can't know."
Now Evergreen was surprised, they wanted to prank the guild's beloved? Evergreen had always thought of the lovely Mirajane as a rival of sorts, even if the takeover mage didn't know it. She had always wanted to take the supermodel down a peg especially since Mirajane had told her to be nicer to her younger brother a few months ago.
Didn't she know that bickering was half of the fun in their relationship? It was basically foreplay! She needed to mind her own business.
Evergreen smiled, "I'm listening."

Early Morning the Next Day
/
Lucy struggled against Natsu as he tried to drag her the back way into the guild.
Both were covered head to toe in black clothing, they even had black masks hiding their faces.
Lucy turned to glare at Natsu and she could see the amusement in his eyes.
"I can't do this. This isn't cool." Lucy whispered as she struggled against Natsu who simply held her to him with one arm with embarassing ease. Was she really that physically weak?
"Aw come one, Luce, you know Mira's the mastermind behind their schemes, she deserves it." Natsu chuckled into her ear, his hot breath tickling her ear and sending shivers up her spine. With his forearm across her chest above her breasts, holding her against his chest, he had to feel her hammering heartbeat.
She glanced over her shoulder at his face, stretched into a predatory grin, he knew exactly the reaction he was causing in her, "I don't want to watch."
Natsu rolled his eyes, "Yeah you do, I've read the same type of stuff in your novel."
Lucy gasped, her cheeks burning she screeched, "How did you find my novel? I locked it in my desk drawer!"
Natsu clamped his other hand over her mouth, "Shhh Luce, Mira's probably already here, I didn't find it in your drawer, you lent it to Levy who let Bolt Breath read it who let me read it."
"Oh, I'm going to get Levy," Lucy growled.
"Luce, that's next week," Natsu chuckled. Letting go and grabbing her hand, he pulled her into the guildhall via the back door that led to the storage room. It was dark but he led her through it with ease, easily avoiding any obstacle. He finally led her to a large vent grate on the wall. They would have to crawl through it, it was large enough to fit them both but wasn't big enough to let them stand.
He melted the bolts holding it in place, letting go of her hand, he pointed inside, "Leads to the kitchen, we'll have a good view from here but stay hidden."
Lucy just stared at him, glaring.
"Well come on, Luce, shows about to start," Natsu grinned.
Lucy crossed her arms over her chest, "You first, you'll just stare at my ass."
Natsu pretended to look taken aback, then smirked, "So you can stare at mine instead? Wanna rock-paper-scissors for it? Winner goes last?"
"You are obnoxious!" Lucy grabbed his shoulders and tried to shove him into the vent. The dragon slayer finally took the hint and crawled in. Lucy knelt down and crawled into the vent, turning back she grabbed the partially melted grate and placed it over the opening so no one would notice anything amiss.
They crawled down the vent for a few minutes and finally the kitchen light came into view, Lucy could hear Elfman and Evergreen murmuring.
Natsu stopped to watch and Lucy hid her eyes, she whispered to Natsu, "You're such a voyeur, oh Mavis, I feel terrible."
"Well it's kind of not to be when you have my hearing, there is always something going on that people don't want me overhearing. This is pretty tame in comparison!"
Lucy didn't even want to go down that road, there was no way this was mild! Evergreen was wearing some skimpy chef outfit, only an apron and shelf hat remaining in place, her skirt pulled up around her waist, Evergreen was sitting on the prep counter, legs wrapped around Elfman's bare waist, his pants around his ankles.
Lucy burried her head in her hands, she could've gone ten lifetimes without seeing Elfman's muscly butt or him murmuring what a man he was to Evergreen in the middle of their love making.
Natsu laughed beside her, "Poor guy has no idea what's about to happen, he's too into glasses."
"I can tell!" Lucy mumbled between her fingers. She was not watching nope, "Don't watch Natsu!"
"Aw come on, Mira will be walking into the kitchen to start breakfast anytime now," Natsu whispered back but obediently looked away, realizing how upset Lucy was getting.
Like clockwork, they heard the kitchen's swinging door open and Mira drop her coffee mug, "Ahhh!"
They looked back into the kitchen.
Mira screamed and ran from the kitchen.
Evergreen laughed and Elfman struggled to simultaneously chase his elder sister and pull up his pants at once.
Lucy watched Natsu clench both of hands over his mouth, trying desperately not to laugh, his eyes watering from the pure struggle of it.
Lucy felt absolutely terrible. And crawled out of the vent without a word to Natsu.
