~Back to Lucy~ (A/N: cause why not -3- )
As the rain heavily pours down with cats and dogs, (A/N: I know this isn't how you're suppose to mention it but it sounds way more interesting this way. please, just go with this -3- ) Lucy continuous to walk bravely through the rain, keeping the umbrella tightly clutched against her chest, getting soaked already.
Just a bit longer, she though. She made it to her house but not to her door. She was only 2 meters away from her house. She takes a step. Then another step. And another. One more. Again, one more.
1 meter.
She was only a few feet away.
One last step.
The umbrella flew away from her hands, the wind pushing her back; she retraces her steps. She fell down on the concrete ground, splashing in the muddy puddle, completely drenched in water. What was worse was that the rain helped her clothes get even more soaked. She was not enjoying this. Lucy screams quietly, frustrated by all this. Stupid rain! Why did it suddenly turn out like this? The weather was perfect yesterday. She gets up from the floor, sighing. At least they won't know anything about this.
And now for the cliché thing everybody adds in 'what-can-possibly-go-wrong' situations. You already know, don't you? (Gals: yesh :3 )
The door opens to reveal none other than the beast.
.
.
.
.
Midnight?!
(A/N: waaaaat oAo )
He stares at her blankly. No emotions whatsoever.
She stares at him, surprised. But we now why!
"How long do you plan on staying outside in the rain? Get in!"
Lucy nods her head, keeping her head down as she walks towards his direction
Midnight had an irritated look on his face, but it didn't look as cruel as it used to. "Stupid blonde woman."
She stops, looking up at him with a slight blush, without making any eye contact, she whispers, "Thanks." (A/N: ooooooouuu 0w0 this is getting gooood :3 )
His eyes widen a bit from shock, but quickly reverts back to his usual expression. Is she trying to fool me? (A/N: *says nothing as she slowly back away, whispers* maaaaybeee x3 )
She walks past him, running up the steps and slamming the door, loud enough for them to hear.
Midnight closes the door and walks back to the living room, covering his body with a pink blanket. (A/N: :3 gihi )
"So what did she say to you?" asks Cobra as he casually flips through channels.
"She didn't say anything." He pauses and clears his throat. "She just walked in and ran up to her room. Anything else you wanna ask?"
"Yeah." Cobra finally stops changing the channels and stays at a channel that has a crime-themed movie. "If she didn't say anything then tell me. Why did your heart skip a beat?" He looks at him from the corner of his eyes.
(A/N: daaaaaiym 030 )
Midnight flinches a bit, but then laughs over it. He laughs. He laughs? He laughs. He laughs! HE ****ING LAUGHS?! (A/N ooomaaagaaawd 0 0 ). But then he just glares at him while giving him an evil smile. "I don't know what you heard with that abnormal ears of your, but it wasn't my heart that skipped a beat. It was hers." He smirk got wider. "Don't tell me you're already falling for her?"
The main character in the movie shot a bullet at a practice board.
Smirking, he turns down the volume by 5 digits.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I could care less about her love life. If you're going to make her fall in love with you then go ahead. I just want to get out of this hell house before the 6 months are over."
"Of course. We can't forget about that, now can we? I'm gonna make her fall head over heels for me."
"Whatever. Just make it quick."
Without giving any facial expressions, Midnight turns his attention to the wide screen, watching the crime-themed movie with him. "Just don't get in my way." They stood silent for a minute until Cobra got up to his feet. Pronto. "What's wrong?"
"I hear something."
"That's probably the girl. She was soaked when she got here so she might be taking a shower."
"It's not her, you idiot! It's someone else. Someone familiar."
Another silence fell upon them. Not a sound made.
(A/N thish ish geshing shushpishioush |:3 )
The smirk on Cobra's face slowly creeps out. "It's definitely him. I can hear his footsteps. His breathing. His heartbeat."
"Do you have any idea how creepy that sounds? (A/N: i might ^3^ ) You sound like some psycho who's been following and keeping an eye on for more than a year."
(A/N: now that's just over-the-top creepy :o )
"This is great. This is really great." Midnight got really irritated.
"Oi! Are you even listening to me?" Cobra continues to ignore his presence.
"Finally. Now my prayer has been heard. Now I can have my revenge."
"Wasn't you prayer about something like-"
"Be quiet! I can't hear with your annoying voice blocking my concentration." He got even more irritated than he was before.
(A/N: aaaaw, poor Middy :D sha kyat x3)
That blonde bothers me less than he does, he thought. (A/N: 'bout time you realized that Middy :) ) Midnight looks up at the crimson-eyed man, who's aura had changed into something deadly. The atmosphere around him was hard to breathe in. (A/N: someone help, imma gonna dieya xo ) This is not going to end well. He gets up from the sofa, dragging the pink blanket with him. (A/N |:3 )
"20 minutes for his arrival. You're mine, Natsu Dragneel."
(A/N: DAAAAAIIIYM xD )

~Back to Lucy~
After washing the mud off her hair, and probably other parts of her body, she steps out of the showers and climbs into her bathtub filled with warm water. As she dips her body in she sighs, feeling relieved; relieved that she can finally have some alone time, all by herself.
"Aaaaah! This feels sooooo goooood. I can't remember the last time I took a bath like this one." She stretches her arms. "It feels like it's been ages."

~Ding Dong~ (A/N: this means flashback 030 )
Let's go back to when Lucy didn't get this pain-in-the-ass job request. (A/N: I'm sorry for the vulgar language, guys :o )
Here's what was said in Chapter 1, the start of all this problem:
-It was late that night. Probably 9:42. It was just a moment ago that Lucy was done taking a shower, and now is putting on her usual clothing. (A/N: the one in the GMG)-
(A/N: it's literally copied and paste -_- )
It's been only two day since you starting doing your job. Don't exaggerate yet, Lucy.
(A/N: tis alright, my beloved Lucy-sama, you canth do this 0u0 )
She lays her head back against the hard rectangular part of the tub (A/N: soooorry, don't know what else to call it :3 ) and rests her head. "I wish this moment lasts forever." She sinks her head deeper. "This feels nice." Then she blows watery bubbles.
"Why does it take so long for women to shower?" (A/N: 0.o … -_- oh no he didn't )
"Because unlike men women want to take their baths in a relaxing way."

"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Lucy quickly grabs what she can: a shampoo bottle. Why? I don't know. Probably because it was the only thing she could reach out to. (A/N: that's reasonable for me - u - )
She throws the bottle.
It hits him straight on the center of his forehead. Bulls-eye! (A/N: hihi =u= )
As soon as he recovers with a few rubs on his boo-boo he pops back up.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" (A/N: self-defense mechanism ?:o )
With her hands, Lucy quickly covers her caughboobscaugh. "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, MIDNINGHT!"
"WHY SHOULD I? IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT TO SEE YOU COMPLETELY NAKED!"
Ouch! Now that hurt Lucy's womanly pride, but she was mostly concerned about him seeing her in her baby-suit. "I SWEAR IN THE NAME OF MAVIS IF YOU DON'T LEAVE RIGHT NOW I'M GONNA CALL … CALL … I'M GONNA CALL -"
Midnight smirks. "Seems like you don't have anyone to help you out, huh?"
"I'LL CALL OUT MEST!"
The bathroom fell silent.
.
.
.

SLAM!
The door was shut. (A/N: 0.o wooooaaa =A= )

~Two Minutes After Lucy Got Changed~
"So. Do you mind telling me why you did something bold as sexually attacking me?" Lucy was sitting on her bed, one leg over the other. Her expression gave off a deadly aura, but not as much as Cobra's.
Sitting on one of her fluffy chairs was Midnight. "I have a reason why I walked into your bath-time."
Barge is more like it, she says mentally. "I'm waiting."
"Your boyfriend is coming over for a visit. Don't you want to make him some lunch?"
"WHAT? NATSU IS COMING OVER? WHEN? IS HE HERE ALREADY? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" Lucy got up, panicking, grabbing his collar vest (A/N: don't know what to call tat -3- ) and violently shaking back-and-forth.
In a blink of an eye she was pinned down on the cozy chair. Fast. I know. (A/N: sonic fast? :3 )
Midnight brought his face so close to Lucy's even a small push of their heads will make them have a direct kiss. (A/N: this is my expression right now: :} ) "Quiet down and listen to me, woman!" Her eyes open wide. She was shocked. And scared. She didn't wasn't something like last time to happen again. "He's not here yet. Cobra's waiting impatiently for him. He wants a round two with him. Go stop him."
Lucy slightly blushes. She can feel his hot breath on the tips of her lip, his red eyes staring down into her brown ones. She felt like she was naked before him. (A/N: woooaaah Lucy o0o take a step back u0 ) "W-w-what c-can I d-do?"
"Do whatever you did to me." He bends over to her right ear. "Threaten him."
She feels a cold shiver running up her spine, his voice giving her 'the shrills', you could say. "Ok." (A/N: so loyal *u* )
He pulls back a bit, but still keeping the close distance. He smiles at her. A smile Lucy never though she could see. It's a cute, nice, kind, friendly – call it whatever synonyms that would please you, but it was a smile Lucy couldn't imagine seeing on Midnight's face. Okay? "Good girl."
He kisses her right cheek.
(A/N: 0A0 FLABBLABLABLALABSHA )

~DownStairs: Living Room~
"I SAID NO!"
"WHY NOT?"
"BECAUSE THAT PUNK NEEDS A BETING FOR PUTTING ME IN JAIL."
"IT'S MOSTLY YOUR FAULT, SNAKE BOY!"
"Snake boy? Is that the best you could come up with?"
"SHUT UP, YA EMO! CAN'T YO SEE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ARGUMENT? (A/N: imagine Lucy and Cobra towering over Midnight, just like how Erza does to Natsu and Gray :D )
Midnight in chibi-mode: They're so mean!
"THIS IS THE ONLY CHANCE I HAVE FOR A REMATCH. IF YOU DARE INTERFERE I'M GONNA MAKE YOU PAY! UNDERSTOOD?" She flinches from his loud voice, but still has the courage to go against him. (A/N: yaaay ^3^ )
Midnight cups her ear and whispers a few words. She nods her head in approval, and when she turned her focus to Cobra he seemed a bit paler than his usual skin color. He might've heard it then, she says to her brain.
"Fine. I'll listen. Just … Just don't call him here."
Lucy secretly giggles in triumph, none of them knowing. (A/N: chibi-style, in her brain… maybe :3 )
Then she takes them upstairs to her room. (A/N: vaaaaat? 0A0 )

~In Lucy's Room~
Lucy pushes Cobra and Midnight harder. "Just. Get. In." (A/N: o.0 )
"We. Don't. Want. To." Both boys pull themselves against Lucy's force.
"No way am I stepping inside an object," complains Cobra.
"Me neither. Especially when there's another guy with me," complains the other.
She gives up. "Fine. Then I have no choice but to call Mest over and ask for his help." They both flinch from the sound of his name.
"Do you mind getting the door for us?" they both ask, already settling inside the closet.
(A/N: hahaha xD macho destroyed by the name of one guy hahaha ha x3 I'm so evil :3 )
"I'd love to." She closes the door. "You know, it's not like you're staying in there for the rest of your lives. It's only temporary."
"Even so you have no right to stuff us in a smelly closet," retorts Midnight.
A vein pops out. "My closet is not smelly! And besides, you should appreciate what I'm doing for the both of you. If it was a different person then they would have thrown you in a basement or in an attic."
"If it was a different girl then she would treat us like human beings." (A/N: ouch :o )
Lucy felt a pang against her chest. (A/N: okay now they're just being mean :o everybody get out yar tourches and burn down the closet :O fangirls-who-follow-Lucy: YEEAAAH! ) "Shut up! They wouldn't have chosen a girl who's all kind and mushy. They're not stupid, you know?"
"He's here," finally came Cobra's voice.
Lucy jumped on her bed, pretending she's asleep, but when she realized her pink blanket wasn't even on her bed it was too late …
Natsu was already here.
After jumping down from the window he walks up to Lucy and pokes her cheek a few times, "She's not moving." He bends down, close to her mouth, and listens to her breathing. "She definitely looks and sounds asleep. Aaah, and I thought I could have something to eat today."
The closest door creaks a bit. Natsu's attention was quickly focused on that one spot. (A/N: don't go there 's nothing in there =u= ) He slowly walks up to the closet, reaching his hand out, he grabs the knob and slightly opens it. (A/N: he didn't listen -_- )
"Achooo!"
Natsu looks away and runs back to Lucy, completely forgetting about the creeping closet. "Is she sick?" He places his forehead on top of hers. "It's not warm." He puts a hand on her shoulder. "But her body is cold." He takes off his vest-shirt thingy (A/N: the one he wears in the Grand Magic Games 0o0 ) and places it over Lucy's body. "Good night, Lushi." He bends down and kisses her forehead. "Don't get sick, okay?" Then he walks to the window, steps out, closes the window carefully as to not wake her up, and jumps down, his footsteps getting more distant as he runs back home to where Happy was waiting.
The closet door violently opens and the two breathless boys get out, tripping on one another's legs. "WE'RE NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN!" and then they both storm out of her room.
Lucy got up from the bed, her face flushed red.
What does this mean? (A/N: how am i suppose to know ?:o you're telling the story here :o )

~Night-Time: Living Room~
As always Cobra is flipping through the channels, trying to find something interesting to watch.
Graaa~
But then his stomach growls.
"Hey, Midnight. How long do you think she's gonna stay locked in her room?"
On a different sofa where Midnight is lying down, he turns his head sideways to get a better view of Cobra. "I don't know. I feel sick so let me sleep." He turns around, facing the opposite direction from which Cobra was looking at.
In other words, he got his back turned against him.
"Aren't you the one who said you were make her 'fall-head-over-heels' for you?"
"I'm not in the mood to do that. Why don't you do it?"
"Psht. No way. I'm not getting any more closer to that b****y woman. (A?N: woaw woaw woaw wooaaw :o what did he just say? :O ) She's way too annoying to handle. That's why I gave you this part of the job."
"It's not like she's going to kill you. Just go upstairs and check up on her. Now leave me alone. I don't have the energy to talk to you."
"Tch. Whatever." He gets up from the cozy couch. "But remember this: after you recover from your cold I'm never doing this again."
"Yeah. Yeah. Just get it over with. Oh, and make sure you turn off the T.V. The noise is giving me a headache."
With a vein popped on his head Cobra snatches the remote from the sofa's seat and turns the television off with one push of the 'power' button. "You're lucky I'm not the type to kill a sick person."
Midnight simply answers, "Hai. Hai." (A/N: I would looove it if I heard Midnight say something like that. I would totally fangirl over it u )
A deep frown forms from the tips of his eyebrows as he leaves the room without saying anything else. (A/N: and I would also replay it many times =3= )
Because he won a small battle over something that he didn't feel like doing Midnight smirks in triumph. Now you will feel the pain that I experienced.
And no one knew of which kind of pain Midnight experienced after he started to flirt with the Celestial wizard. (A/N: so true =A= )

~Back to Cobra~
He walks up the steps, constantly thinking how he should approach her and how she might react to them. This is such a pain in the ass. Why do I have to go through all this?
When he arrives to the entrance to Lucy's room he thoughtfully stares at the door knob, then to the center spot of the door. Should I just go in or should I knock first. Who cares? I'm just gonna go straight in and tell her to make us dinner. He raises his hand high…
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The door was knocked three times. "I'm coming in," he announces. He opens the door, walks straight into her room with just a frown on his facial expression, and looks at her body that was faced to the opposite direction from him. Just like what Midnight did earlier.
Lucy didn't move.
"Oi. O bāchan, (A/N: sorry i couldn't help but put it in Japanese. soooo soooorry A ) Get up. We're hungry. Go make us dinner."
Lucy didn't answer.
This is exactly why I hate women. (A/N: we'll see about that *u* ) He walks up to her, closing the huge distance between the two.
Now he was beside her, by the bed.
Cobra starts to glare at her. "Temee." (A/N: in case no one knows what that mean it's a rude way of saying it's like 'why you!' :O ) He grabs her chin and forces her to look at him, but as soon as his fingers touched Lucy's skin his heart trembled. (A/N: oooh maaai 03o ) When did she… He turns her body over so that her back was laid comfortably. He takes Natsu's vest, disgusted by the scent left on it. Why am I taking care of her when she's supposed to take care of us? (A/N: don't ask a question I can't answer -_- … or can I? :D )
Lucy kept breathing rapidly.
He extends his hand, placing it on Lucy's forehead, feeling as though he's warming his hand at a fireplace. "That bastard! He's the one who gave her this cold. What exactly did he do to make her catch it?"
Lucy slightly opens her mouth. "Wa…" Cobra notices so he leans close to her lips for a better listen. (A/N: now kiss oAo )
"Say it again, woman. I didn't hear you." She opens her mouth again.
"Wa… te…r."
After hearing her request he straightens his back. "Is that all?"
Lucy didn't answer. The only thing she did was breath rapidly.
"I'll take that as a 'no' then." He turns around and leaves the room. Just like before he leaves silently without a single word. (A/N: |D )

~DownStairs: In the Kitchen~
The tap water runs and runs as Snake Boy fills up two glasses of water. He takes one glass in one hand, the other with his other hand. "It feels like I'm the father who's taking care of two sick kids." He walks into the living and hands one of the glasses to Midnight who greatly accepts it and drinks it till nothing is left. He gives the glass back and mutters a word of thanks.
"Hey, that woman caught a cold. Did you know that?"
"No."
"So how did you spread your disease to her? Did you attack her again?" (A/N: :3 )
"Urusai. I didn't repeat that accident. She was wet when she got back. Maybe she caught the flu from that."
"That's a possibility."
"And I also kissed her cheek."
They both went silent for a bit.
.
.
.
.
"If she caught the flu from a small contact like that then that must mean she has a weak body."
"Aren't you jealous?" Cobra replies his question with a devilish smirk.
"I don't see anything in that woman."
Midnight chuckles at his blunt response. "I thought you might say something like that." He rests his hands behind his head, pillowing his head. "Too bad though. If she was less bossy and less annoying I'm sure anyone would fall for her charms."
"I thought you said that you would make her fall in love with you. Not the other way around." Midnight opens his eyes, staring up at the ceiling, not meeting Cobra's gaze, but his lips were still curved in a sadistic-like smile. (A/N: what happened to him? - A - )
"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not in love with her. I'm just telling you what I think of her."
"And what's that?"
"I guess you could say she's cute in her own ways. All humans are the same: they always fall for the kind of person they feel attracted to. Not by appearance but by who they are and what they're like."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Humans really are strange beings. It's pathetic how they can say something stupid like 'love at first sight' or 'this must be love'. What a joke! I bet that pink-headed guy already has the hots for her."
"I'm leaving." Cobra turns around and takes a step.
"Listen up, Cobra. (A/N: heeere it cooomes 3 tell him to back off from Lucy :D ) You should be careful around her. She may have a few tricks up her sleeve to make us act like her puppets, but when it comes down to how men think about her oblivious actions you can't help but have the urge to just pin her down and -" (A/N: ?:D )
"I've heard enough! You don't have to go into details."
"I'm glad you understand. I didn't want to go into details either. Anyway, just be careful around her. I sometimes wonder if this whole thing she's putting up is an act to fool us. If it is its definitely working."
"If you're done I'm leaving."
He chuckles again. "Cold as always."
No response.
Cobra left the room.
Midnight closed his eyes and eventually fell asleep with a frown across his forehead.
And the rain kept pouring on and on, a thunder roaring, cracking the skies with yellow light. (A/N: that's probably Laxus lol x3 )
With everything in disarray how will Lucy survive through the six months she supposed to endure for the sake of finishing her job request? Will she be able to clear out the disaster that will soon come upon her?
