A/N: So here's this! When you're done please take the time to read the a/n at the end! Gracias, muchachos, and enjoy!

Later that morning Loke and I arrived at the guild, and Fey and Gray came up to greet me. "Dio!" Fey flew up and crashed into my boobs, and I grabbed her to hold her up in the air and spin her around in the air. Loke bid farewell and opted for his adoring fans.

"Fey! I'm guessing you stayed with Gray last night? Or did you decide to hang out with everyone's favorite dragon slayer and his oddly colored, flying cat?"

I let go and she floated in the air in front of me, "He's not my favorite dragon slayer."

If my heart could speak, it would've said 'd'aawwwwww!', but it can't. Instead, I rubbed her head and whispered, "Ya damn right." Then I turned to Gray, who was icily and suspiciously eyeing Loke. "Morning, Gray. Fey wasn't any trouble, was she?"

His attention turned to me, "We were fine, just hung out." He nodded towards the new guy, "Is he a cool guy? Or do I need to bust some faces?" I slung my arm around his shoulders as I scanned the room for my drunkard best friend, "He kinda reminds me of you. Y'know, same temperament and all." He seemed a bit incredulous but said nothing. "Either of you seen Kana yet?"

Fey shook her head, and the popsicle spoke, "Not yet. She did leave in the middle of yesterday, didn't she? Anyway, we got a table over –." WHAM! Chair to the face, and Natsu was the one who threw it. Needless to say, the ice mage got caught up in a brawl with the flame brain, and I just shook my head and followed Fey to a table.

A short while later, the sexy card wizard burst through the door looking even sexier than usual. She didn't have a sudden wardrobe change, and she wasn't wearing makeup, but she just had this glow of victory about her. It wasn't the kind that people get after sleeping with someone, more like the kind that happens when someone's just agreed to sleep with you. It was suspicious. She prowled her way over to my table, catching more eyes than usual, and she only made eye contact with one person before she sat down next to me. That person was Loke. She glided onto the bench to sit next to me, and I nudged her, "What's with the charm overload?"

She gave me a sly grin, "Whatever do you mean, Dio?"

I scoffed. "He definitely noticed. I can taste his enchantment from all the way over here."

She was quizzical, "Taste?"

My eyes widened and I quickly assured her, "Figure of speech." She was satisfied with my answer, and I let out a silent breath that I had been holding. "Anyway, where were you yesterday?"

"At home. Yesterday that newbie over there was taking in everyone's faces and names, and if I'd let him introduce himself to me yesterday, I would've melted into the background." She pointed at the ceiling and gave me a conspiring grin. Fey followed the line of her finger to see what she was pointing at. "But! Since I just made an entrance today, I'll definitely stick out in his memory."

I held back a smile, poorly. "You may be too late; he's already living with me."

Her jaw dropped, "You're JOKING! How did you do that? And what? Now you'll have two sexy guys under your roof? That's simply not fair, diamond. Let me have one of them."

I scrutinized her, "Diamond?"

She made a face as though it was obvious, "Yeah. Diamond. Diamond Dio, isn't that what people call you?" I warily nodded, and Kana became saddened, "No one would tell me why, though, but it's definitely got something to do with your magic."

A waitress came over with a barrel of booze for Kana – without anyone asking for it – and the drunkard opened it to begin drinking. I wondered aloud, "Speaking of nicknames, why is Natsu called 'Salamander'? Salamanders are amphibians." My friend just shrugged and continued drinking.

The rest of the day went on like a usual one, and evening eventually rolled around to a time reasonable enough to go home. I had been looking forward to this all day. Gray had it out for Loke, and Loke didn't seem like the type to back down. Two alpha males under one roof, who would win? I would definitely be the alpha alpha, but just for the entertainment of watching them feud, I could let them think they were battling for top spot.

Fey had joined up a bit earlier, and she had been asking for the last hour whether or not it was time to go home yet. When the moon was high in the sky, the answer to her question was finally 'yes'. She zipped over to Gray, eyes alight with mischief to tell him that we were leaving, and that if he didn't want to be left behind he should hurry. Then she pointed out that he was naked, and he looked down in surprise before dressing himself again. I shook my head and smiled, before catching Loke's eye and gesturing that I would be leaving. He nodded, and let me know that he would be home later.

The walk home flew by, except for the parts where Gray had to pick up the trail of clothes he had just left, and once we were finally at my house I spent my time staring at the door. There was finally the sound of a key turning in the lock, and all eyes moved away from, yet all other senses were directed towards, the person coming through the door. Fey was suddenly very interested in the mouse toy she'd had since she was a kitten, and the noises from whatever Gray was doing in the kitchen were slowed. I peered up from my book to chirp, "Hi, Loke. Welcome home."

I swear to god he sparkled when he replied, "I'm home, my angel."

From the corner of my eye, I saw Gray's head slowly peek out of the kitchen. He had a questionable look on his face when he addressed the ring user, "So you're really living here, huh?"

Loke's expression changed to match Gray's as he responded, "According to the owner I am, and from what I've heard she's really not someone you want to piss off." Gray's eyes narrowed, he nodded, and then he disappeared back into the kitchen.

Okaaaaay, awkward. To break the tension, I stood and put my book down as I informed the newcomer, "Believe it or not, there's a guest bedroom in this house. It's hidden behind the skinny door that looks like it might be a closet. The pieces for the bed are in there, and I'll help you if you want, but I didn't set it up for you. The only reason being, I didn't want to. Your bags have already been moved into the room."

When I stopped he nodded, became less like he was courting a woman, and more like he was hanging out with a friend, "I think I'll take you up on that offer. I hate to do this to a woman as beautiful as yourself, but I know you're not delicate, and I'm actually pretty tired."

We left to the spare room, and heard Fey and Gray call in unison, "Keep the door open." I scoffed, and Loke sighed.

A/N: Sorry, dolls. It ain't much. Next chapter will be at the end of this week, or the beginning of the next. I feel like I've been giving you mediocre stuff lately, and I feel bad. Never fear, my lovelies! Coming up real soon is a team S-class mission with Erza! And after that we get to know the ever-mysterious Mystogan! I have things planned, it just takes me a while to get them typed up!
