Summary: I honestly thought this was what Happy was going to say in THAT scene in episode 179.
Pairings: Implied Natsu/Lucy.
YouTube Prompt: Another Gray tribute to the song Leave Your Hat On by Tom Jones. Because any song about stripping is made for Gray, and now we have gorgeous, drool worthy, clips of him wearing Rufus' hat, this song is even more perfect for him.
"Where on earth did you get that from?!"
Lucy couldn't help but stare dumbly at the magazine spread that Natsu held up. It was a very old one that, at the time, she had been thrilled to take part of. Mirajane had asked her to do it after a particularly bad day and it had been the best of fun at the time. A week later when it had come out though Lucy quickly realised what a lot of perverts nearly every single male in Magnolia was and ended up hiding in her apartment for the rest of the month. Natsu hadn't seemed to be interested in at all so why, why, did he have a copy now of all times? You know, seven years after the photo shoot, in a deep dark cave labyrinth, where they might or might not die….it was just a very weird place to have a magazine.
"Oh," Happy said, with an evil glint in his eyes, "don't you know Lucy?"
"Know what?" Lucy asked.
Happy smirked and Lucy couldn't help but feel dread from the pit of her stomach. What on earth was Happy up to?
"That Natsu had that magazine in his pocket since he brought it."
"But that magazine is seven years old!" Lucy protested.
"Aye!" Happy nodded with sage agreement. "He keeps looking at it with a really weird look on his face, and some times, some times, he plays with himself while looking at it."
"LUCY KICK!"
Yukino and Wendy looked on in horror as Natsu soared across the labyrinth and smacked, face first, into a particularly rocky, very sharp rocks, wall. Lily merely shook his head at the antics of his guild, wishing once again that Gajeel was here so he can have some normal company, while Charle eyed Happy in disgust for making such crude implications in front of her charge. Natsu groaned from the floor and struggled to get back up onto his hands and knees.
"Shouldn't we help him?" Wendy asked.
It was then that Yukino realised Mira had transformed into one of her terrifying demon battle armours and her hand was glowing purple. Less said, about the horrifyingly evil expression on her face, the better. Lucy had now pulled out her whip and was fingering it in a rather menacing way…
"I think it's safer if we stay here," Yukino said.
"Wise choice," Lily said approvingly.
"Honestly!" Charle muttered still disgusted.
Eventually Mira and Lucy had vented out their rage on Natsu, who was now nothing but a pile of blood, bones, and clothes. Slowly, so very slowly, he manages to crawl towards Wendy for some healing.
"Why Happy?" Natsu croaked. "Why did you lie?"
"Eh," Happy shrugged, "I was bored."
