"Ah, Peru, what a time to alive!"

"I haven't been here in a while," Erza spoke as the entire band looked out the windows to look around the lovely place. Beautiful city lights laminated the the streets and the six of them were all dazzled by the sight. "i always did love Peru."

"This place is amazing!" Lucy joined in the sounds of awe making Natsu snicker at her reaction.

"Aren't you glad you came with us, now?" He asked smugly making the blonde shoot him a look and nudge him playfully as she leaned against the couches. "I'll make sure to take you on a tour once we arrive to our hotel."

"Excuse me," Erza spoke up, interrupting the conversation between the couple. "we are family, we stick together. Don't think you'll be able to go out without notifying or bringing us along because this is a foreign country." She planted her hands on her hips as she looked at them in a scolding manner. "We are all going to be together, am I clear?"

Rolling his eyes, Natsu just kept quiet and Lucy spoke for the both of them. "Yes, ma'am."

"That's right, before we arrive, why don't we do room arrangements?"

"Can I be with Lucy this time?" Loke asked as his arm shot up in the air by the time the words came out of the woman's mouth. "I wanna room with her!"

"You are not!" Natsu hissed as he brought the blonde closer towards him. "She is my girlfriend so she rooms with me!"

"You can't hog her, Natsu!"

"Yes, I can. She's my girlfriend, she belongs to me."

"Excuse you," Lucy suddenly spoke, her eyebrows knitted together. "I am I own person. I don't belong to anyone."

"Ha! That means I get to room with her!"

"No it doesn't!" Natsu cried out as he looked at Lucy for some help. "Right?"

"Enough of this nonsense," Erza got between the argument as she pointed at the blonde. "Lucy and I will be rooming together this time." She declared making both Natsu's and Loke's jaw drop. "Then Loke, Gray, and Natsu are going to room together and Gajeel and Jellal are going to room."

"What?!" All three of the boys shouted in unison as Gajeel and Jellal kept quiet.

"What, is there a problem?" The scarlet-haired woman asked, throwing her famous deadly stare at the three who all shivered and cowered in fear. All except Natsu who looked like he had some kind of death wish as he looked at Erza directly in the eye and spoke.

"I believe Lucy and I should room together because she is my girlfriend and—"

"Alright, since this is all settled, let us all gather our stuff! We will arrive very shortly." Erza spoke, completely discarding Natsu's speech as he gawked in surprise and offense. "Remember, we all stick together so no sneaking out, okay?" She said once more, turning around to walk away but when a certain singer threw himself at her feet, the woman merely scowled.

"Erza, you can't do this! Lucy and I always stick together!"

"Which is why we are changing up the rooms for the time we are in Peru," she shook him off, straightening her skirt. "I'm not going to change my mind so stop asking."

and with that, she turned her heel and walked away making Natsu sit on the floor of their bus, the look of pure sadness and defeat plastered on his handsome face.

It made Lucy feel bad as she crouched down and placed a hand on his broad shoulder, a reassuring smile appearing on her face. "Hey, c'mon, Natsu, it's okay. We're only here for two days and then we'll be heading to another area." She reminded him as he continued to pout. "I promise we can be roommates soon so don't be so upset, alright?"

"Can you sneak into my room tonight?"

"Knowing that you're rooming with Gray and Loke, no. And if Erza found out that I snuck out, she'll murder me." Lucy laughed lightly as a shutter ran up her back. "Anyways, it's only for sleeping. We'll be out in the streets most of the day, right?"

"We'll be busy with rehearsal and doing concerts and interviews so we'll barely see each other," he frowned as he grasped her hand gently into his. "so rooming with me is the only time I'll have to spend time with you." He said, the hint of sadness lingering in his voice making Lucy stare at him in shock, her eyes wide. "So you see why I'm so desperate to spend these two days in Peru with you?"

"Is this... is this true?" The blonde spoke, swallowing the lump that was in her throat. "Will you be that busy?"

"We probably will be so please, Lucy, ask Erza to switch rooms. It's the only way," He smiled without showing his teeth, his hands squeezing hers as tightly as he can. "please, Lucy. I want to spent the time we have in Peru with you."

Feeling the words hit her right in the heart, a blush spread across her pale cheeks and she quickly nodded, giving his hands a squeeze back.

"O—okay, I'll go tell Erza, now!" She quickly said before standing up and following after where the scarlet-woman had went towards earlier.

Once Natsu made sure she was gone, Loke spoke up.

"We have a interview? And since when are we going to be busy all day?"

"Nope and never," the singer sang as he waved his finger in the air. "they were just bluff to make my acting more believable." He threw a smirk at his bandmates who all rolled their eyes at him.

"Natsu, you really shouldn't lie to your own girlfriend." Jellal scolded making Natsu be the one to roll his eyes this time.

"It's not lying," he said as he leaned against his knee. "It's called acting."

"You're going overboard," Gajeel said making the male shrug. "just to get laid."

"Shut up," the male snapped. "unlike you, sex isn't all I think about. I actually want to spend time with her."

"And get in her pants."

"We're taking things slow."

"But you want to get into her pants."

"Shut up about it, already!" Natsu shouted, his cheeks flushing red at the thought of it. "I just wanted to spend some quality time with my girlfriend!"

"But lying to her face?"

"It's not lying! It's acting!" He defended himself once more. "So we are not going to reveal anything to Lucy that is unnecessary, alright?" He shot them a look making them all shrug and look away in disinterest as Lucy just came back from speaking with Erza.

The male immediately put on a frown and stuck his fingers in his hair to make him look worried, his eyes slowly raising up to look at his girlfriend. "What'd she say?"

"I managed to convince her," she offered a wide smile making the male beam.

"Really?"

"Yep! But now the new room arrangements are Loke, Gray, and Gajeel and Jellal is with Erza, of course."

"Not a surprise," Gray said in a monotone voice as he appeared to be doing something productive on his cellphone. "nobody wants to get stuck between two couples, anyways."

"You're just jealous you're the only one single in this band," Natsu said as he stuck his tongue out towards the bass player making Gray look offended.

"Gajeel is single!"

"Not really," Lucy joined in making him look at her in offense. "he and Levy are technically dating."

"No we're not!" Gajeel practically screeched, his ears burning hot. "We're just friends!"

"Lucy and I used to say that but look where we are now," the lead singer of the band smirked as he wrapped an arm around the blonde. The couple smirked smugly at the pierced male and Gajeel felt so emotionally attacked he was at loss of words. "you and Levy will be having babies very soon, just you watch."

"Fuck you!"

"Who is speaking French?!" Erza suddenly shouted making everyone there jump in their spot. "You know I don't like when people speak French!" She said as her glare scanned over the room full of boys including Lucy. "I bet it was one of you three!" She pointed right at Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel making them all gulp and pull away from one another to point at each other.

"It was him!"

"What are you talking about?! It was you!"

"It was Gajeel, I swear!"

"Fuck you!"

"Gajeel!" Erza's booming voice made him freeze and curse under his breath once more as he realized he just spoke french. "I hope you do know what this means."

"It was by accident! These two idiots," the male gestured towards Natsu and Lucy making the couple gawk in offense. "were talking about all this stupid BS and it just slipped!"

"I don't care, you still spoke it." She clicked her tongue in disapproval as she grabbed the curtains to pull it away slightly, looking out into the streets where thousands of girls stood and screamed. "And looks like there are much more girls this time... perfect."

"Please don't make me do this," Gajeel pleaded, the sound of his voice sounding wary as Lucy watched in surprise and awe. She never knew the bad boy of the band could look so vulnerable and scared. "I'll do anything else—please don't make me do this."

"What does he have to do?" Lucy spoke up making Natsu bring her close to whisper in her ear.

"He has to get off the bus, first."

"Why is that such a bad thing?"

"First person out is bait," Gray explained as he now stood next to the blonde watching Gajeel beg Erza for forgiveness. "which means he gets mauled first and by the time we're out, we'll be safe and sound."

"So you're basically putting Gajeel out there to get mauled?" Lucy's jaw dropped in surprise as the two males beside her nodded.

"It's worth it!" Loke joined in as the four stood in front of the pathetic scene. "We've all been there so we all know how it feels like."

"I kind of feel bad, now." Lucy frowned making the three laugh.

"Don't, it'll just make things worse."

"He deserves it."

"That's what he gets for speaking French so loudly."

"Okay, wait," Lucy placed her hands in front of her as the three turned their heads to look at the blonde. "what does 'speaking French' even mean?" She asked making Jellal now step forward and join in the conversation.

"You know when people say something bad or when they curse and they don't want to appear bad, they say excuse my french?"

"Yes..?"

"Erza calls cursing French."

"Why?"

"Who knows? Erza is into all those kind of weird things," Natsu explained as the bus finally came to a halt and the screams from outside got louder. "now all we can do is pray for a dear Gajeel."

"Why can't we just send her out?!" Gajeel suddenly shouted, his finger pointing right at Lucy who jumped and stated right at his finger. "They don't care about her!"

"Excuse me?"

"Actually they do," Gray interrupted as he pulled his phone out to show proof. "this is the Queen of our fandom."

"That's right! There is no way we're sending Lucy out!" Natsu backed up Gray up as Lucy threw Gajeel a dirty look.

He only ignored it as Erza grabbed him by the collar and dragged him towards the front door, a wicked smile on her face.

"I'm sorry to do this, Gajeel."

"Your face otherwise!" He shouted right back as he tried to pull away from her death grip but the way she was holding him made him feel weak and scared to the bone.

"Please just know that we all are praying for you," she said while opening the front door to have the screams grow louder. "happy hunting." She announced before throwing him into the sea of girls and closing the door shut. She walked back into the room while dusting her hands off and approached Jellal, a cute but shy smile appearing on her face.

"To think this is the same Erza is unbelievable."

"I swear she has two personalities."

"Bipolar?" Lucy gasped as everyone started to murmur about the scarlet-haired manager beside Jellal who planted a quick and sweet kiss on the forehead of his girlfriend.

"That's my girl."

That left Erza blushing Crimson and the entire band staring in complete discomfort.

—X—

"Finally, a bed!" Natsu voiced out in mirth while jumping on the large King-sized bed, his limps spread out everywhere. "Come join me, Lucy!"

"No," the blonde scowled as her cheeks dusted red. "we have to head back down for dinner, anyways. We don't have time for that—"

"Come on, don't be like that! We haven't had alone time in a while!" The singer protested, his arms open wide as he pouted childishly. "Let's cuddle just for a few minutes and I promise we can head down!" He offered making Lucy huff and stand by the head of the bead, her hands being planted on her hips. "Please?"

"You're impossible."

"Is that a yes?"

"Scoot over," she murmured making him cheer and immediately scoot over to give her room. "if we're late, I'm blaming you."

"Fine with me," he happily agreed as she lied down in his arms, the couple snuggling warmly on the bed. "thank god we got the share a room together." He let out a breath of relief. "I don't know what I would have done if I had to spend my days in Peru with those two jackasses, Loke and Gray."

"Hey," Lucy frowned, tilting her head up to look at her boyfriend. "Loke and Gray are very nice."

"Right," he agreed sarcastically. "and my hair really isn't pink."

"I knew it!"

"I was sarcastic!"

Giggling against the warm chest of her boyfriend, Lucy slowly sat up making Natsu watch her, his eyebrow raising when she turned her head to look down at him. "I think we should head down." She suggested making him frown and try to pull her back down.

"Five more minutes!"

"Natsu, it's already—"

"Pleeease?"

"That won't work this time, Natsu," the blonde swatted his persistent hand away from her arm. "we gotta go or Erza will kill us so get up." She ordered as she managed to get him sitting up but with a few groans flying out of his mouth.

"Fine, but I'm not happy."

"Oh cry about it," she rolled her eyes. "we can't always get our ways."

"What? That's how you respond when your boyfriend tells you he's not happy?" Natsu asked in mock offense. "What a bad girlfriend!"

"Oh I'm sorry, darling," the blonde said sarcastically as she leaned in towards her boyfriend, batting her eyelashes. "however could I get your mood to brighten up?"

Staring down at his girlfriend with a slight smile curling up on the corners of his mouth, he watched her with half-lidded eyelids before he quickly leaned down and pressed a quick kiss to her lips.

That left Lucy sputtering and blushing bright red as Natsu stood up to walk away, his deep obnoxious laughter filling the air.

—X—

Once the elevator dinged and the couple was in the lobby, they noticed how they were the first to arrive and that disappointed Natsu to the fullest as they had more time to cuddle. And it sucked since they were probably going to have to wait for a bit for the others to arrive since he was now growing incredibly hungry.

"Hey, I'm going to go use the bathroom." Lucy spoke up as she pressed a hand to his chest to catch his attention.

"Can I join you?"

"Stop joking around," the blonde smiled, nudging him playfully as he chuckled. "I'll be back soon so stay here, alright?"

"You make it sound like I'm going to leave,"

"What if you do and I have to go find you in this large place?"

"I'd never leave you alone, Luce." He grabbed a hold of her hand to bring it to his mouth to kiss. "I'll promise you on that." He promised making the cheeks of the blonde turn pink again. "Now hurry and go use the bathroom before the others arrive."

"O—okay," she stuttered slightly as her legs felt like jello. "don't leave."

"Wouldn't even dare." He offered a wide smile as he watched Lucy wander down the hallway before she disappeared into the women's bathroom leaving him all alone.

To make him look social and not awkward, he pulled his phone out and started to scroll through his social media and try and pass the time.

He would have guessed it was three minutes in when he felt a tap on his shoulder, the male quickly putting his cellphone back in his pocket while a smile rose to his face.

"Took you long enough—"he started to joke but stopped when he turned around to be greeted with somebody else rather than his actual girlfriend. And it wasn't just somebody, it was someone who he was really gotten to know over the pass years and haven't seen since probably their break up. It took his breath away and all he could do was stare in surprise.

"Hey Natsu, I'm back! Did you miss me—!" Lucy started to say as she approached the male but when she came closer, she trailed off to notice the look of surprise on her boyfriends face. She also noticed the woman who was standing in front of her man who looked very slim from the back. "Natsu..?"

"Lisanna," the name slipped out of his mouth a second later making Lucy freeze in her spot. "what are you doing here?"

Lisanna?

Lisanna?

Wasn't that that the name of his ex-girlfriend? Lisanna Strauss?

Taking a full two steps towards Natsu and finally standing next to him, Lucy came face-to-face with the model she's seen a lot on magazines and online and the one who everyone compared her to. She had large crystal blue eyes and a short pixie cut, the short haircut being pulled off quite well.

She was much more beautiful in person.

"Hi Natsu," her French accent rang in her ears. "nice to see you again."
