Gogo- LOL Fear not because they will always have their moments. Natsu and Lucy naturally have their odd AWWW moments so it's only natural to insert them when writing their characters.
hunter- I find jealous Natsu more cute then sexy. Most times... It's the protective/pissed off Natsu that's... well *cough* Anyway... Ty for the condolences it's been tough but you gotta move on :) And Natsu can't get along with Draco... Because where would the fun in that be? LOL
beans- There there... Don't cry... I mean you can't really compete with a guy like Natsu... What woman in her right mind would turn down those abs? I mean that sweet personality? *blush* After all it's hard to compete with a guy who was raised by a freakin dragon!
Swan- LMFAO Don't worry I'm sure some where there will be something and you'll find it and I'll face-palm and be like errmmm... LOL But ty! I enjoy the fact that ppl find enjoyment from something I create just for shits and giggles. :)
hunter- First off never ever apologize for a long review. I enjoy them! To answer the first question. Idk... The story has a mind of it's own. I put the disclaimer that the rating may increase only because who knows where my sometimes depraved mind will take me? I sure as hell don't LOL Fun fact about 50 Shades of Grey... It was a fan fic... Based on *pukes* Twilight... (sorry to the Twilight fans I'm old and vampires should explode in sunlight NOT sparkle) I've never read it personally. Although I am jello of the person who wrote it... To think they did just what I've been doing and now they are making bank? *pouts and grumbles* Oh well. But I will say I take some smug pride in being told my sexual portrayals are better then theirs LOL You are correct though on so many of your points when it come to bdsm TRUST is a huge factor. But once again I've never read 50SoG so I can't really say how on or off par they were. Moving on... As for your collaboration I'm happy to contribute I have a few random one shots I've never posted and a couple that are just thoughts more then a complete story so if nothing else it will give me a reason to re-visit those and finally give them light. Tell Link I still have Gemi and Link's adventures *smirk* She should watch out for pitfalls btw... HAHAHHAAHAH Once again ty for condolences :) and as for my Evil Baby of Doom... If you go to my last year's ff for Halloween she is the cover art. LOL We cos-played her as Charle last year.
obsessed- It would make one hell of a plan though wouldn't it? LMFAO "Yeh yeh I love you not stfu this bed is comfy." BAHAHHAHA WOW that would be so ooc! But fair is fair... She yells at him to keep out of her bathroom and he, being Natsu in all ways he is, thinks it's funny and well weird. He doesn't mind if she sees him what's it matter if he's seen her right? They crack me up in general. I love reading and writing them.
AkemiLoveAngel- TY TY TY!

On with the show!
"I shall destroy him." An angered female voice said.
There was a shuffling sound, "I can't believe she's letting him do that." The voice was male but sounded muffled almost like it was behind a curtain.
"He should hope that she is or he will feel my wrath like none before!"
Lucy groaned at the noise. She was so warm and comfortable. She was cuddling what she imagined to either be a stuffed toy or possibly Happy. Since she was sure it was purring it had to be Happy. The sneaky devil must have crawled into bed with her. Her back was draped in warmth and there was a pleasant weight around her waist. She really didn't care who these voices were she just wanted them to leave her alone so she could enjoy her bed. Burrowing deeper into the bed and the pleasant pressure behind her earned the weight around her to shift and pull her closer. She smiled as she readjusted her head on her surprisingly hard pillow.
That thought started to wake her further. Happy?Moving weight? Hard pillow? Blindly she reached for the pillow only to feel what could not be mistaken for anything but an arm. The cloud of her mind was lifting and the fact that Happy and Natsu stayed the night before was flooding her memory. She was in bed being spooned by Natsu. Once her initial panic wore off she realized she could get used to this. However his shifting caused her to realize several other things. The hand that was attached to the arm she was using was currently groping her left breast. His other arm was pulling her impossibly close. His legs were entangled with her own. His cheek was resting atop her head. And to make matters worse she was fairly sure that wasn't one of Happy's fish jabbing her in her back.
Lucy's eyes flew open as her face turned a disturbing shade of red. She was about to struggle away from the insistent dragon-slayer and then beat him within an inch of his life when she was met with the cold stare of Erza and the smug expression of Grey. "GAAAAAA! Why are you in my room!?"
Natsu and Happy had become so used to this type of outburst that they both sluggishly shifted and Natsu mumbled, "It's fine now remember." As he attempted to get a better grip on her while he hummed contentedly.
"Not you baka! Them!"
That got his attention. Opening an eye to take a look around the room he yelped as he came face to face with one of Erza's swords. "Don't kill me! It was an emergency! Igneel said there was no time!" He rattled as he released his hold on Lucy in favor of backing up on the bed only to meet the wall and begin sobbing, "I'm sorry Erza! Really sorry!"
"What a moron."
"Shut it Icicle Licker!"
"Natsu."
"I said I was sorry Erza!"
"Will everyone stop and tell me what the hell is going on and why you guys are both in my room?!" looking at the clock she added, "At five in the morning no less!"
At Lucy's outburst Happy flew off to the kitchen in search of leftovers, Grey shrugged as he kicked off the persistent pant leg, Erza dropped her sword and bowed her head, and Natsu sighed in relief.
"My apologies Lucy you may hit me if you like." Erza said remorsefully.
Lucy sweat-dropped and held her hands up. "No need!"
"As you see fit." Erza stated once again holding her blade to Natsu she said, "We had heard a dragon was spotted in this area last night so we came to investigate and also be sure your home was intact. However when we arrived we witnessed this nave besmirching you!"
"OI! I didn't miss march Lucy!"
"Idiot."
"It's besmirch Natsu not miss march." Lucy groaned. Rubbing her temples Lucy decided to save her dear dragon-slayer. "It's fine Erza he didn't do anything entirely wrong. I allowed him to sleep in my bed with me."
"WHAT!?"
"You a-a-allowed him? I-I-I uhh…"
Lucy giggled at her friend's antics while Natsu decided to cuddle up next to her sporting a smug grin of satisfaction at Grey's reaction. A weird twitch developed in Grey's neck and he kept repeating something about "Armageddon". While Erza on the other hand was clearly having some interesting thoughts as her face looked ready to catch fire and she was holding her nose to keep her life force at bay.
Pulling Lucy closer so she now resided in his lap, Natsu smirked over at Grey saying, "What's wrong stripper, jealous?"
Witnessing the fact that Lucy merely blushed rather than tried to beat the hell out of Natsu for his actions Grey gawked, "Wait! How the hell did this abomination happen?"
"Excuse me?" This time it was Lucy who was sporting the terrifying aura and murderous intent.
"I.. err… Nothing personal Lucy but Flaming Shit here is a fucking idiot." Seeing how that didn't seem to pacify the Erza Jr. he continued, "I mean how the hell did he get someone like you?"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" The couple yelled in unison causing Lucy to face-palm and Natsu to laugh joyously.
"For fucks sake Lucy you're out of his league! Or you should be!"
"Say that to my face Frosty the Naked Ass!"
"You are too stupid and ugly for someone like Lucy you Flaming Fart Fucker!"
"ENOUGH!" A revived Erza bellowed, "Grey clothing, Natsu go make tea NOW!" causing the two to scatter.
"Not again!" Grey yelled as he looked down to see himself in only his boxers.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop stripping in my home!" Lucy yelled as she smacked Grey in the head.
"Kick his ass Luce!"
"Aye! Mean Lucy is funny when it's not us!"
Erza pinched the bridge of her nose and then sighed. Turning to Lucy, who was glaring daggers at Grey as he tried finding his pants, she smiled, "I'm very pleased you are no longer hiding your and Natsu's commitment. Love is a hard thing to find and be able to express. While I'm not fond of the forwardness of your relationship I will respect it as your choice."
Lucy smiled for the first time that morning. "Thank you Erza." Mumbling under her breathe she added, "Even if there was nothing to hide before."
After finding his pants and putting them back on Grey scratched his head awkwardly, "Sorry if I insulted you Lucy. We can't help who the heart chooses, ne? Just don't let that idiot rub off on you too much."
"I heard that Ice Breathe!"
"Thanks guys it means a lot."
"Here's your tea." Natsu grumped setting the kettle and serving tray down and sitting on the edge of the bed.
At everyone's raised brow of confusion Happy chose to inform them all of the situation, "Natsu's just mad that you guys interrupted his aloooone time with Lucy."
"OI!"
"Oh gross!"
"Please except my deepest apologies. You may strike me if you like."
Lucy sighed and rolled her eyes. Moving to sit next to the irritable man she leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for making everyone tea."
Natsu grinned and slung an arm over her shoulder pulling her closer, "Sure thing Luce!"
"Gaaa! Would you two stop it it's sickening!"
"Shut it popsicle!"
"What was that flamer?"
"You heard me!"
"I'm sorry I don't speak moron."
"You want go?"
"Boys. You are not about to fight are you?" Erza asked calmly from the table already drinking her tea.
"Who us? Would we fight Natsu?" Grey asked while jabbing his elbow into Natsu's ribs.
"No way! We're the best of friends!" Natsu replied while slapping Grey roughly on the back.
"Excellent. Now sit down and join us for morning tea." Erza watched closely as the two took seats across from one another while glaring daggers over the table and obviously kicking each other below the table, but chose to ignore it since they were quiet. "As I said this morning we heard a dragon had been seen in the area last night only to vanish. Would you two know anything about that?"
"That's Draco." Lucy replied with a slight growl over the spirit's antics. Seeing Erza raise a brow and Grey look confused she pulled out Draco's key went on to explain who he was and that he was given to her as a gift from Igneel.
"Speaking of your father Natsu, where is he now?"
Natsu flinched slightly and mumbled, "He's gone again."
Lucy's eyes softened and she reached over taking hold of Natsu's clenched fist in way of support. "Let me explain everything from the beginning." She said quietly.
Two hours, three pots of tea, and seventeen busted pre-fights later Lucy sighed. "When I woke up from that nightmare, Natsu explained that Igneel had taken the blood seal back and I was left with this nasty scar from it trying to break open." She said holding her hand up so Erza and Grey both could see.
"Hmm. You have been through a great deal this last month. Even if it was only several days for you." Smiling slightly Erza continued. "I would expect nothing less from one of our own."
Lucy smiled slightly and ignored the dusting of pink settling on her cheeks. "Thanks." Taking a drink of her tea she continued, "There's a bit more to it all." Seeing she had both Erza and Grey's attention again she continued, "It seems that Igneel kept records for all the dragons. Or at least most. He had volumes dating back centuries." She said in awe with shining eyes at the memory. Shaking her head to clear it she continued, "Anyway, I realized somewhere in there was the accounts of the first dragon-slayers. So in that chest over there are all the books dating back to x300 and as close as present as possible. I figured that if we could find out what happened and more about who Acnologia was then-"
"His weakness!" Erza said eyes ablaze as she slammed her fist into her palm.
"Holy shit Lucy! How the hell is it you're so smart but still ended up with this idiot?"
"Aye! That's because Lucy is weird!"
"What was that? Who the hell do you think you're calling an idiot?
"Get over here so I can pull out your whiskers!"
"WAAAAAA! Natsu Lucy's trying to turn me into a violin!"
"I'm calling the only idiot in the room an idiot you fucking flaming fruitcake!"
"That's it!" The three human mages yelled together as they set after their own target.
"EVERYONE STOP!" Erza demanded slamming a fist on the table. Looking around the room she noticed that everyone did indeed freeze in place. Her eye twitched slightly as she sighed. "Sit, all of you." Quicker then humanly possible everyone did just what they were told and took their seats once more. "Now then, Lucy?"
"AYE!" the woman squeaked still frightened of further enraging the great Titania.
"How long will it take you to read through all the volumes?"
Lucy sighed, "That's where things get tricky. If they were written in a modern language then I could fly through them no issue. However, they are written in Latnatia. I took lessons back at my father's estate and Natsu was taught how to read it from Igneel. It shouldn't take too terribly long, even though because of their age I can't use my speed reading glasses, but with just the two of us it will still take a long time. So I was going to see if Levi and Freed would help. Between the four of us it shouldn't take much time at all if we all work on it between missions and such."
Grey and Erza shared a look before Grey spoke up, "Levi and her team went on a mission last night and won't be back for about three days. Freed's on a mission with his group for another two days I think."
"Well that settles it then." Erza said gaining confused looks from everyone. "We shall take a mission first thing in the morning and leave word for Levi and Freed at the guild if they should beat us back."
Lucy groaned but at the glare she received she smiled tightly and stuttered, "S-sound great!"
Natsu yawned and stretched while saying, "Works for me. That means I can go back to sleep which means you can get the hell out now stripper." and made his way back to the bed instantly burring himself under the covers.
"Tch idiot." Grey grumbled as he once more stared in shock at his lack of clothing.
"I would assume after the last few days you are both tired. Take today to rest the three of you." Erza commanded to Happy, Lucy, and Natsu. Turning to Grey she stood and grabbed him, "Come, we must inform master of the situation."
"I can walk!" Was all you heard as the door slammed and the pair were gone.
"Aye Lucy?"
"Yeh Happy?"
"Come back to bed!" Happy cheered.
"Yeh Luce come on!" Natsu added while holding the blankets up as invitation.
Lucy looked to her clock noticing it was only seven in the morning. Blushing at the realization of what she was doing she pushed her embarrassment off in favor of attempting to find that comfort she had before being woken. "Sounds like a great plan guys. Just keep your wandering hands in more appropriate places this time."
Natsu grinned as she settled down next to him, "Whatever weirdo."
