I'm back from my holiday! As a treat I've made this one extra long ;)

Lucy opened her eyes, the light bursting through her window that morning had instead blinded her and caused her to close them tighter, forcing her to roll over on her other side to avoid being blinded once more.

She did no expect to be in bed with someone else however and panic struck her quickly; she bolted up and looked at the stranger in her bed only to see orange hair and a muscled arm wrapped around her. Loke.

"Loke?" she asked, looking around her room for clues of the previous night; although she was uncertain how they managed to get back to her room and for Loke to also be shirtless.

Loke stirred as he slowly opened one eye and saw a confused Lucy staring at him, to which he smirked,

"Ah, the drunk one is awake," he proclaimed, Lucy pouted at him, she wasn't that drunk last night was she?

"How drunk?"

"Pretty drunk. So much so you asked me to stay the night and kissed me," Loke was having too much fun with this already and Lucy feared the worst as he spoke,

"Oh shit. Please tell me we didn't have sex, or anything like that?" her face began to flourish in to a pink shade as she thought about what she had said, Loke smiled at her and shook his head.

"I'm a gentleman; I respect women I do not take advantage of them when they are so drunk they have no idea what they are doing - no matter how much they want me."

"Loke, I'm being serious right now,"

"And so am I." He sat up in bed and looked at her, he could see panic written all over her face as she tried to piece together last night.

"We didn't do anything like that, you kissed me and I kissed back and then refused to do anything else to you. Although I did have to help you get undressed, you were moaning how everything was too difficult so I helped you and then gave you my top…"

Lucy looked down at herself, she wore Loke's top from the day before and her underwear. Loke was telling the truth.

"Thank you," she smiled her blush showing, causing Loke to smile back at her.

"Like I said, I'm a true gentleman."

The previous night's antics had been all Lucy had heard spoken to her all morning as Levy caught up with her as she was leaving and decided that she would never drink again. She was quite grateful when she got to her class that there was no one familiar in there and it was a class of two hours where she didn't have to be pestered by the boys or Erza and Levy. Peace and quite.

"Today class, we shall be sharing this lecture hall with another class; we have a guest lecturer who is here to discuss his life and how it will be useful for you to know the knowledge he knows. It will benefit both classes, therefore we as the lecturers decided it would be best to have both classes in here instead of two presentations." Lucy's lecturer spoke in his bored voice that Lucy had come to be used to; wether he was excited or not his voice sounded the same to her, always.

"Hey pretty lady," Lucy looked to her left side and saw Loke smiling at her with his notepad and pen in hand, her head it the table hard.

"You have to be kidding me."

"At least we get to experience this together. I'll buy the first round of drinks after this if you want?" Loke spoke.

"After last night I don't think I ever want to drink again, but after this lecture of death I may just want to drink," Loke laughed as he watched Lucy start scribbling down her notes as the guest lecturer had begun his long presentation.

Half way through Lucy had found herself sitting much closer to Loke than even she would like to admit; but there was something nice about it. The fact that it was nice to have someone sat next to you who would make this two hour lecture painless and in fact enjoyable. Something Lucy never thought possible.

"You know, he sounds like he has a great life." Loke whispered, causing Lucy to hold back a giggle.

"Tell me about it, he sounds like a catch for any single lady."

"You should go for it," Loke teased, to which Lucy nudged him in his arm with hers.

"Pfft, just because you're jealous that he would whisk me off my feet and marry me and then I shall become Mrs Boringlife."

"Sounds like a goal plan to me. Mrs Boringlife."

"Whatever," Lucy huffed, no longer having fun at this game.

Although she was surprised when she saw Loke scribble something down quickly and then pass it to her under the desk whilst he then carried on writing down his notes.

I could whisk you off your feet if you would want me to, after all it's clear you like me after last night ;) But in all seriousness, the offer will always be there Lucy.

Her face blushed reading Loke's note to her; he wasn't joking ever about them, and the fact he never took advance of her like most guys would, he respected her and that was more than enough.

You're right, I'm sure you would. I'll think about your offer.

She passed the note back to him, deciding best to carry on with her note taking then talk to Loke. But she did catch the smallest smile touch his face as he read her reply.

"So the first round is defiantly on you right?" Lucy asked as both her and Loke entered the bar.

"A promise is a promise. And frankly I think we need more than one drink to get over that lecture."

"Agreed, but for now I think I will defiantly be having one drink." Lucy replied as she sat down at the table where she had spotted everyone else.

"I'm surprised you made it to classes today after last night." Gray smiled, looking at the blonde.

"You're not the only one surprised," Lucy replied, rubbing her eyes from how tired and sore they were from little sleep.

"So how was today? Hungover?"

"Surprisingly no. Although I heard Levy went home half way through the day, so I may have to pop in and see how she is before going back to mine."

"She's fine, Gajeel just went there now. She text him apparently, but wether that was a booty call or her generally asking to be looked after we don't know."

"Probably the first," Natsu replied, causing Lucy to death stare towards him,

"One drink, as promised," Loke said, handing Lucy the drink that she eagerly drank it quickly and then dashed off towards her building to see Levy.

"You know, I'm sure I was suppose to tell Lucy something," Natsu said, as they watched Lucy dash out from the bar.

Lucy had defiantly regretted going to Levy's room; the mental image of seeing a naked Gajeel stand at Levy's door whilst Levy held her duvet up to her body was enough to send Lucy back to her room to think over how she would prepare herself for therapy.

She had spent the last twenty minutes in her shower washing the image away and then proceeding to get in to a large baggy band top she had and pyjama shorts ; if anything she was defiantly going to curl up in bed and read a few books, anything to escape that mental image of her best friend.

Although her reading had soon stopped as a knock at her door had disturbed her book. She had expected Levy to be at her door, although if Gajeel was still around then she was sure Levy was still occupied.

"Hey,"

Loke stood in her doorway, his arm resting on the door frame to her room and wearing his smirk; Lucy blushed, there was no way around it. She was crushing hard on Loke and he probably knew he was her weak spot, in fact Levy had probably told Erza who had probably then passed it on to everyone else in the group.

"Hey"

"I suppose you saw Levy?"

The mental image was back and Lucy shuddered, causing Loke to laugh,

"Yeah, apparently they had been in the bar before we even got there, Levy had left a message with Erza saying she was going to spend some time with Gajeel." Lucy replied

"But then Erza trusted Natsu to pass the message on saying it was important. But as he was about to you, you had downed that drink and shot off to Levy's room." Loke added.

"So what you're saying is this is my fault that my mind is now mentally scared with the sight of Gajeel's manhood and seeing my best friend almost naked in bed? Wow, some friend you are Loke." Lucy sighed, folding her arms as she went back to her bed.

"In some sense yes. But I thought I would come up and see your condition." He chucked at the last part. Lucy pouted,

"I feel terrible."

"Don't be, in fact, I can show you my manhood if you want to compare," Loke teased, nudging in to her arm as he sat beside her,

"Nice try Mr, but not a chance." She laughed, but the thought never left her brain.

The room soon fell silent after Lucy had finished laughing, causing Lucy to mentally poke herself to do something to ease the awkward silence.

"So apart from checking up on me and gate crashing my lecture today, how was the rest of your day?" she mentally slapped herself.

Loke sensed her awkward conversation, but chose to answer anyway,

"Fine, and I wouldn't call it gate crashing. It was more the fact you gate crashed my lesson."

"Oh really? What brings you to that conclusion?" She raised her eyebrow at him,

"Well, I was suppose to finish an hour before you; and I had an hour break between that class and my next when I was suppose to have that lecturer, but nope. Turns out it benefited everyone if I lost my hour and spent an extra hour with your group and listen to that guy tell us about his boring life."

"Oh, so you're saying this is my fault now?" Lucy smirked, "Next time I shall speak with my lecturer and warn him that the great and wise Loke would love to keep his hour free instead of embracing educational speeches."

Loke laughed, poking Lucy in her side as she squeaked from the sudden touch, which then caused her to grab her pillow and hit Loke on the back of his head.

"Oh, so this is how you want to play?" A playful smirk rose on to Loke's face as he took her other pillow and aimed for her.

Lucy laughed as she managed to duck from the incoming pillow and took her chance at taking aim back, only to be greeted with a small cushion to her face.

"That was uncalled for!" Lucy stated as she walked up to Loke and threw the cushion back at him; he smiled as Lucy had gone from being playful to sulking the next. But that had caught him off guard as Lucy had managed to sneak in another attack causing him to fall on the bed and taking her with him.

Lucy lay there, her blonde locks had fallen from her loose bun and Loke was looking down at her, she was pinned against him; her heart beat began to go in to over drive and she bit her lip to stop her breathing so quickly.

Loke watched Lucy as she fought the battle inside her to stay calm, after all the position they were in wasn't exactly the best if anyone entered Lucy's room. But it was one that Loke loved Lucy in, she was helpless but she looked as if she wanted this just as much as him.

Now it was Loke's turn to fight the battle inside him to not take Lucy there and then, after all he was a gentleman - unless Lucy wanted it then of course he would happily do anything she wanted him to do.

He saw her bite her lip, and that was it, Loke wanted her. She looked back up to him, her eyes portraying scared but lust all at the same time. He leaned closer just so their noses were touching, Lucy's breath hitched as she felt his hand run down her arm and rest on her side.

"Lucy, you can tell me now to piss off if you want. But you can not deny that this is exactly what you want right now," Loke spoke softly, looking in to her eyes at the same time. He was right, she did want this, she wanted Loke. Everyone saw what they were like together, the fact he was the last person on her phone to text her. She defiantly wanted him, more than ever right now.

She didn't need to say anything else, Loke could sense her thought after his last speech. He moved his other hand away from her other arm and ran it down to hair and then placed it on the crook of her neck and took her lips softly. Lucy followed Loke's lead and allowed him to roam over body; his kiss was gentle, he was rubbing small circled just under Lucy's head which caused her to allow a moan to escape between their kiss and resulted in Loke smiling.
