"Your words, not mine –'It would just be sex'." She says as she stares me down. "You don't know what you want!" She yells at me, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. "You think you're the only person that's going to lose everything if this became anything more than what was agreed?" She asks and I sigh as I reach for her, but she turns out of my reach.

"Is everything sorted for tonight?" I ask as myself, Zeref and Laxus make our way towards Lucy's office.

"Well I assume it is." Laxus replies and I shake my head. I am sure he didn't plan anything at all and would just wing it.

"She will love it." Zeref says and I turn somewhat as I look to them both behind me. Both of them where beyond basic. I turn and sneak past Cana's office towards Lucy's office. Cana has been looking for me the whole week about something stupid and I just didn't want to face her at the moment. I turn into the office and the room is filled with flowers and packages and just a lot of shit. Aries is sitting at her desk as she just looks to me and she shakes her head.

"Holy fucking hell," I hear Zeref say as he walks up behind me and he gets a look at the array of gifts scattered in the office. Laxus soon enters and stops as well as he looks at the room.

"What the fuck?" he asks as he takes a step closer and then he starts looking at the gifts. I'm not sure if I was excited or jealous or angry. But holy fuck someone must really love Lucy.

"Seems there are a lot of people who sent Lucy gifts." Aries says as she sits back to look at us. I take a step towards Lucy's desk and I take a card in my hand, opening it and reading the inside.

'Lucy

Happy Birthday

Much Love

AoW guild'

I close the card and place it back when we hear some steps thinking that it's the birthday girl. But to out surprise its an elderly gentleman holding up a bouquet of flours, a teddy and a box.

"I am looking for a Miss Lucy Heartfelia?" he asks and I see that the other two males are more focused on the other chocolate bouquets and flowers so I take a step close.

"I can sign for her." I reply and the elderly gentleman smile brightly as he hands me the flowers and I place it on the table and then the teddy before he manages to give me the book to sign for the gifts.

"Is it the lady's birthday?" he asks as I grab for a pen and quickly signs.

"Yes." I reply taking the box from him.

"She must be something special. Please convey my birthday wishes to her and ask her to open the box with care." The man says and I nod my head as I look to the box in question. The elderly man gives a wave and then smiles as he turns and he leave. We hear some more footsteps and we all watch to see Cana walk in, her eyes wide as she looks at the gifts.

"This is all for Lucy?" she asks and at this I just nod.

"She is on special girl it seems." Aries replies as Laxus and Zeref continues to look through the gift. And that's when I hear her. The girl of the moment as her voice starts of faint but gets harder.

"…Awe that was so sweet but you didn't need to…" we hear her say and soon she walks into the room and she is smiling from side to side as she holds yet another flower bouquet in her hands and a male follows her, with a box of yet more chocolate. She smiles as she walks in and then the looks around until she finds a place for her gifts. "Right there…" she says as Levy also joins holding a cake in her hands..

She waves off the male and then she looks around the room and she smiles brightly as the other in the room continue to inspect he gifts.

"I am going to cut the cake since most people are here…" Levy states as she stands to the side and she opens the packing of the cake. Lucy just nods her head as she smiles.

"Lucy you are one lucky girl." Cana states as she looks at the flowers that was brought right it.

"Thank you Captain, I didn't expect any of this." Lucy states and I just continue to look at her as she admired her gifts.

"Who is the senders?" I ask and at this she smiles brightly. She walks to her desk and points to flowers and macaroons and chocolates and a bottle of champagne.

"This is from my guild! You know that game I play?" she says as she puts everything together then moves to the next bouquet of flowers with a crate of chocolate. "This is from my ROD, Wong. And that is from another close friend, Andrew, this one is from our guild leader, Drefrel." I look to another box that is left unmentioned.

"And these two?" I ask pointing to the gift I received for her and the box that just stood. She frowns a bit but she walks to me as she looks to the flowers and then it's like realization sets in and she takes the teddy putting it to the side before pulling the box to her and she cracks it open a little till she gets the card.

Everyone goes silent as we look at her, silently urging her to read it. She flips it open and she scrunched her eyes as she reads the card then looks to the other box. She narrows her eyes and then she looks to Laxus who has his eyes trained on her.

"It's from my bestie." She says and at this she folds the card and places it back in the box.

"Aren't you opening it?" Zeref asks and Lucy smiles as she shakes her head.

"If I know my friend… no. Instead let's eat cake." Lucy rushes as she quickly places the gifts together and then move to hand over pieces of cake.
