Everyone that stood in the room was tense.

Which wasn't anything new for the men, in fact most of the boys were always tense. In fact, only their leader and the odd member were truly carefree, and it usually took a lot more to make Laxus or Gajeel or Lily or Gray to relax and actually have fun. Today, however, they were more tense than usual as their backs were straight, their shoulders stiff, and their faces set in grim expressions as they entered enemy territory.

The Dragon Tails and the Fairy Furies were meeting today.

Today was supposed to be the day that they became friends…..it didn't feel like it, as the girls, in their intimidating beautiful glory, all glared back at them.

(Apart from Juvia, her look of disgust faded when her eyes flickered to Gray and a sickening adoring look appeared instead.)

To think, once upon a time, they had all grown up together in the same orphanage. Then one by one, they all went their separate ways, some were supposed to be going onto better lives, and somehow they all ended up in here, in this grotty little club, enemies ready to become allies once more.

Okay, that might be stretching it a bit. Natsu was ready to become their ally, Natsu had always been ready to be Lucy Heartfilla's ally, the others were all dragged along for the ride since Natsu and Lucy led both gangs.

Lucy stepped into the from her office, dressed in her usual tight blue dress and her hair fluffed out on the top of her head, just so, making her look like she had just crawled out of bed with someone and hastily dressed herself.

Her bottom lip jutted out into a sexy pout before it morphed into a smirk. "Natsu," she purred.

Natsu whipped off his sunglasses and tucked them neatly into his suit jacket. He eyes Lucy hotly which made several people shift uncomfortably. "Lucy," he murmured back as his eyes flickered up and down her body.

"I think we're all in agreement that this is the best arrangement. For all of us," Lucy carried on as she confidently stepped back to her office door, "but before we take out a bottle and celebrate perhaps we should iron out a few details in my office to ensure everyone is satisfied."

"Sure," Natsu shrugged, "am I okay to leave my men out here?"

"Oh," Lucy said breathlessly, "I'm sure my girls would take good care of your men."

And with that, Lucy and Natsu disappeared into the depths of Lucy's office, leaving the girls and the boys alone in the club's dance floor.

As if to disprove Lucy, out of sheer cheek, the little blue haired girl dressed in a man's suit suddenly stuck her tongue out at Laxus. His eye twitched as he suppressed the urge to swat her over the head. "Little brat," he growled.

"Ne, ne, Wendy," Mira put a protective hand on the youngest member of her gang's shoulder, "why don't you go and play with Charle while I entertain Laxus-san?"

"Okay," Wendy agreed sweetly, "but are you sure you want to play with such an angry and old man?"

Laxus choked slightly while his so called brother in arms roared with laughter at that. "Oh I don't know," Mira purred, "I'm sure I can find a way to enjoy myself."

And with that, the boys were soon finding themselves entertained by the ladies of the Fairy Furies.

(Everyone thought Lily pulled the short straw but he disagreed, he enjoyed listening to Erza talk about her swords while showing him exactly how sharp her katana is by cutting Gray's shirt in half while he was still wearing it.)

Lucy didn't even make it to her desk when Natsu grabbed her by the shoulders, whirled her round to face him, and then pulled her in for the smokiest, hottest, kiss they had yet to share.

They had been secretly lovers (well, okay, maybe not that secretly as Lucy was certain half her gang knew) for the last couple of months, and this was probably the best kiss so far as Natsu seemed intent of sucking her soul out, burning her lungs up, and taking everything she is as his own.

"N—Ngh" she moaned as he lifted her up and placed her on her desk, his knees nudging in between hers. "Natsu," she groaned as she pushed him away for a small reprieve. She needed to breathe! He took advantage of this and the fact she wore a strapless dress to leave some blatantly obvious marks on her neck and shoulders. "We have to stop," she commanded breathlessly, her dress seemed to have fallen past her belly button, and Natsu found something new to play with which was incredibly distracting. "We actually have to talk about this," she continued as Natsu moved back up to mark her other shoulder, "I don't want this partnership to be just in your bed."

"All right," Natsu mumbled against her jaw, "I like your bed better anyway. It's more comfortable."

"Natsu!"

"What?" Natsu blinked dumbly as Lucy pushed him away from her. "What could there possibly be left to iron out? we talked about this for weeks, Luce, you're going to do all the paperwork, I'll do all the muscle work, we'll have one of our men each manning our territories, and together, you and me, our gangs, will build an empire so that our children will never want for anything. What else could there possibly be to talk about?"

Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Our children?" she murmured.

"Yours and mine," he growled against her lips, "who else's?"

And with that, whatever resistance she had about discussing things properly, evaporated into thin air and she yanked Natsu down to kiss her and everything on her desk was swept away in order to make more room.

Meanwhile back on the open floor of the club, everyone froze as they heard a very familiar, intimate sound, in Lucy's office. A groan, a moan, Lucy gasping delightfully, and then "Oh Natsu!" could be heard clear as day. Within an instant Erza grabbed hold of Wendy and covered her ears before she could hear anything more scandalising. Her face was as red as her hair as she stuttered out an embarrassed explanation to Wendy.

"Gihihihihihi," Gajeel snickered, "sounds like the merging is going well."

"Gajeel!" Levy hissed. "Shut up!"

"Juvia shall help with the merger by merging with Gray-sama!"

"Gah!" Gray cried out as Juvia tackled him to the ground and tried to undo his trousers. "Someone help me!"

He was ignored as everyone was far more focused on herding Wendy out of the club for some ice cream before Natsu and Lucy got any louder.

(They all knew from experience that neither of them were quiet….stupid morons were useless in hiding a relationship they kept giving themselves away like this.)

It was therefore no surprise that in the next morning the two gangs became a new, more powerful, deadlier, gang under the new terrifying name of Fairy Tail.

….all members of Magnolia's police force wept.
