I told you I wasn't planning on updating...but, I'm a bit more free now. Here is one of the reviews one of you guys requested...hope you enjoy! Oh, also, I forgot to celebrate my one month anniversary (woah, Hiraethe! that's soooo special) since being here! So...yay, I guess! Even though I'm like a week late...

Exciting news! I will most likely update "Silence" story soon (thanks Poketail!). And, since I've wasted enough of your time with these pointless intros, let's get on into it.

Gray was in a good mood as he walked down the Magnolia streets, turning to look at the boats that drifted down the water serenely, undisturbed by the winds that tossed it forwards. The sun was already starting to fall behind the trees, and Gray, who had returned from an exhausting mission that afternoon, was starting to feel the effects of it. He created Lucy's house key out of ice, and unlocked her house.

"I'm home, Lucy...," Gray mumbled, turning on the lights.

And, so ended Gray's cheery mood.

"What are you doing here, Flame brain?" Gray asked, irritation in his voice. Natsu, who had been helping himself to some of the cookies Lucy had made earlier, gave him a look of annoyance.

"Hi Gray!" Happy said, waving a paw at him. Gray smiled at him, before Natsu cleared his throat. Gray gave him a glare, and they both looked at each other with provocation between their teeth.

"Are you serious? What are you doing here?" Natsu asked, before stuffing two more cookies into his mouth. Gray muttered pig under his breath.

"What was that, Gray-chan?" Natsu asked, grabbing his collar. Gray felt his anger boil. Damn it, he wasn't a little baby, he was a full grown man, and if someone of Natsu's caliber were to address the GREAT Gray, he would have to say Gray-SAN. When Natsu snickered at Gray's stunned face, Gray lost control.

"WANNA GO?"

"HELL YEAH!"

And so, the two broke out into a fight, throwing punches at lightning speed. Suddenly, Gray looked over his shoulder, and Natsu (who didn't want to hurt Gray seriously, of course) bounced back. There wasn't a sound for a moment, and Natsu began to feel worried.

"Gray, is something wrong?" Natsu asked, approaching him cautiously.

"Um, Natsu...I think we lost Happy." Gray said. Natsu looked around, before realizing that Gray, was, in fact right. It was not long until Natsu was down on his knees, frantically searching for his exceed in worry.

"...He's probably scared...and lonely...and, most likely, hungry...," Natsu said, kneeling down to check under Lucy's bed. Suddenly, the dragon slayer turned towards him. "Gray, what do we do?" The ice mage rolled his eyes.

"What, you've never lost him before? Knowing you, you probably once-"

"Gray, this isn't time for jokes," Natsu said, pacing quickly around the living room. "Lucy's landlady was just here. WHAT IF SHE STOLE HIM AND TURNED HIM INTO...," Natsu shivered just thinking about it.

"I'm sure Happy's not like that fur that always hangs around her neck," Gray comforted, but Natsu brushed off his condolences.

"HAPPY!" He shouted.

And, suddenly, Natsu and Gray heard three bodies come out from the kitchen.

"What are you guys doing here?" Gajeel asked, scratching the back of his head. Next to him were the two exceeds, seemingly fine.

"HAPPY!" Natsu shouted, rushing up to scoop him into his arms. Happy gave Natsu a confused look, before hugging back.

"Umm, Natsu,you're sort of choking me...," Happy said, and Natsu loosened up a bit.

"I'm so glad you're not dead...,"Natsu said, restraining himself from hugging him tighter. Happy gave a questioning look to Gray, and the ice mage, who definitely was not in the mood to explain, just shook his head. The raven turned to Gajeel, who in turn looked back at him.

"Since when have you come here?" Gray asked, crossing his arms.

"Since last week. Lucy's supposed to be in a show with me," Gajeel said, brushing off Natsu's fighting provocations and sitting down on the floor. Gray nodded, before yawning. Natsu looked at the ice mage deviously.

"Aww, poor Gray-chan, he needs to say his beddy-bies now." Natsu teased, before being knocked down by a pillow to the head. Gray had stood up, towering over the two mages suddenly, and not a single one could see his eyes.

"Gray, you're looking scary...," Happy said, hiding behind Natsu.

"No one calls me Gray-chan."

Gray was about to continue, before being hit by another pillow.

"If it's a pillow fight you want, Ice Princess...then that's what you'll get," Natsu said, grinning maniacally. Gajeel, who had been watching from the sidelines, slapped Pantherlily on the head with Lucy's comforter. Pantherlily let out a shout of surprise, looking at Gajeel in shock.

"Why did you do that, Gajeel?"

Gajeel looked at him, his grin, while evil-looking, sincere.

"Thinking of it as training." Gajeel said, before Pantherlily, now in his biggest form, threw him over his head and into Natsu. Both fell down again, groaning in pain. Happy, who had almost been victim to the fall, ran over to Gray, hugging him tightly.

"Gray, I'm scared...," Happy said. Gray hugged him back, however, didn't seem to hear him, for he threw three pillows on the collapsed bodies of Gajeel and Natsu. They both got up quickly, and the ice mage threw Happy out of the way as he used a pillow to shield from the onslaught of attacks from the two. They continued like this for a while, until, someone's body hit the ground.

Gray fell asleep first. Despite the adrenaline fights gave him, he was still tired from his mission in the morning, and he fell onto the ground with a soft thud and a gentle exhale. Gajeel and Natsu looked down from their fight. Natsu sighed, taking Gray's body over his shoulder and putting him in Lucy's bed. For once, everything seemed peaceful, and Natsu and Gajeel decided that it was time to go to sleep as well.

When Lucy and Erza walked in at the middle of the night, they couldn't help but laugh. Gray was pushed to the side of her bed, nearly toppling off, with Natsu's arm wound around him protectively, and Happy in between them, snuggled in between both of them with a peaceful expression on his face. Gajeel was sprawled out horizontally, his head hanging off and his feet brushing the curtains. Pantherlily was cuddled in his arms. Pillows were piled on them, along with a blanket that Gray had thrown off, and the ice mage's clothes had somehow found their way stuffed in Lucy's underwear drawer. Erza, who didn't seem to comprehend the problem of this, turned towards the armchair.

"Well, I guess we'll have to make do here tonight," Erza said. Lucy nodded, before both of them squished into the tiny armchair and covered themselves with a blanket.

When they woke up in the morning, Natsu, upon hearing about his sleeping position, was horrified, and he and Gray immediately broke out in a fight. Happy complained to Lucy about the "pillow fight purge", and Gajeel and Lucy began to discuss about Lucy's dance sequence. Erza and Pantherlily stayed off to the sides. Erza's eyes softened, and a gentle smile spread it's away across her face.

"It's hard to believe how much I love these idiots," Erza said, laughing a bit. Pantherlily looked at her, before nodding silently.

"They sure are a rowdy bunch."

"Yes," Erza agreed, before pulling Natsu and Gray into a hug. Both were taken by surprise.

"Something wrong, Erza?" Gray asked, before both were squeezed harder.

"I love you both," Erza whispered, pecking both on the cheek. The two boys blushed. "Never forget that." After a while, Natsu and Gray were allowed to wriggle out of her grasp, but, instead of fighting, they sat together.

"Do you...want to go on a mission?" Gray asked, his voice quiet yet firm. Natsu grinned.

"Sure! Happy, let's go!" Natsu said, pulling Gray and the exceed outside. Gray turned back to Lucy, and gave her a gentle smile.

"Thanks for letting us stay, Lucy!"

Lucy sighed, nodding her head. Natsu laughed

"Bye Lucy! See you soon!", he shouted. When the two were out of the building, and Gajeel and Pantherlily left for a training session, Erza and Lucy were left alone. Too tired to go to the guild after their mission, they sat by the fireplace, drinking hot chocolate and huddling in blankets. Erza took a large bite of her cake.

"This is nice."

Lucy took a deep breath.

"Yeah."
