Long time no see everyone! So I am getting married in a matter of DAYS! My life is completely upside down, the wedding planning is NOT DONE! And no matter what happens, if this whole wedding ends up being a huge mess, I don't care, because I am marrying the love of my life. Here is the long awaited update to Team Plunders!

Chap 11 – Jealousy

Lucy opened one tired eye up to see Gray leaning down in front of her, one hand on her shoulder. She looked around dazed, taking in the hustle and bustle of her teammates in the train's cabin, everyone grabbing their things.

"Hey Luce, we're here. Time to get up." Gray stood up, his hand falling off her shoulder.

"Thanks Gray."

"No problem. You ok? You have been pretty out of it lately." Gray looked her up and down, over his shoulder Ezra looked her way as well.

"Yeah I am good! I got a new book and I have been staying up late all week, haven't been able to put it down." Lucy smiled up at both her friends cheerily. With a yawn and a quick stretch of her arms she hopped up.

Turning her back to them she reached to the rail up above her seat to grab her bag and rummage through it distractedly. She hated lying to her teammates and friends, but really what was she supposed to tell them?

Oh yeah guys, Laxus and I have been flirting and teasing each other for weeks now, and he finally caught me masturbating and fantasizing about him! And THEN he had his way with me, and I have been up all night every night this past week since, wondering when I am going to see him again!

Yeah, that would go over reeeeal well…

With a sigh, after checking that everything was in place Lucy pulled down her pack and swung it over her back. Following her team mates out of the cabin and off the train, a gust of warm air met her as she stepped off the platform bringing with it the cool clean smell of sea salt.

As they stepped out of the train station Lucy perked up quite a bit, she could make out clear blue waves and swaying palm trees in the distance. The seaside town of Aloria was their destination today, and Lucy was excited to say the least. It had been a while since any of their jobs had taken them towards a beach of any kind, and she was looking forward to some sun and surf once their missions were completed.

"Lucy…."

The Blond looked down at her feet, her pink haired best friend was sprawled out on the ground, one hand holding on to her ankle.

"Make it stop…." Natsu looked up at her, tears in his eyes.

With a sigh, Lucy nudged his head with her toe. "Natsu we have been off the train for 10 minutes now."

Gray stepped on the dragon slayers back with a crunch, and over him. Ezra followed, rolling over Natsu with her cart of luggage.

Lucy bent down next to her dirty, trampled, pathetically sick best friend with a sigh.

With a wheeze and a cough, Natsu lifted his head only high enough to swear vengeance on the ice princess, and to scold Ezra's supposed betrayal. Looking absolutely pathetic and wretched, Lucy could'nt help but take pity on him. Struggling to help him up out of the dust, she threw his arm over her shoulder, and helped him down the path.

"You owe me dinner for this buddy." And off they went to follow the rest of their team.

20 minutes later….

While Ezra checked them in, Lucy, Natsu and Gray found themselves at a little white and blue painted café connected to their inn on the beach. Gray was flirting pretty shamelessly with the brown haired waitress at the bar, and Lucy and Natsu found themselves alone at a table in the corner looking over the beach.

"Pssst Lucy…"

Lucy tore her gaze away from the dancing waves of the shore and looked over at her companion.

"I'm hungry…." Natsu looked at her, his amber colored eyes large and dewy.

"Don't even think about it Salamander!" Pinching both sides of his cheeks at once and pulling at his face, Lucy glared up at her best friend. "After all the times you have raided my fridge! And helping you after every train ride! You owe me buster!"

'But Luceeeeeee." Natsu whined while trying to fend off the blond.

"No but's about it! You're picking up the tab today!"

"Fine!" Natsu relented, rubbing at his pink cheeks and pouting at the blond.

With a scowl on her face Lucy turned her attention back to the water, only to find a strong arm thrown around her shoulders.

"Lighten up Luce!" Natsu grinned and rested his head against hers. "We are at the beach!"

Lucy couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, your right." She leaned her head back against his as well. It was always so easy with Natsu, their friendship. She really was Lucky to have found him and Happy.

"What are they doing here?"

Lucy looked up at the question. Her breath caught in her throat, her body tense as spring. She kept her face blank as they approached. Natsu gave her a quick glance before tightening his hold on her shoulders, almost comfortingly.

Damn! Of all the times for him to actually be paying attention.

Ezra walked up to the table, Bickslow and Laxus in tow following close behind her. The red head took a seat directly across from them with Bickslow taking the seat next to her. Laxus grabbed the seat at the end of the rectangle table, Natsu and Ezra on each side of him. With a whistle from Ezra, Gray soon followed and took his seat at the other end of the table.

"What's the deal?" Gray spoke first, just as surprised by their two guild mates appearance as Lucy and Natsu it seemed.

Ezra nodded one of her quite nods, "Bumped into these two while I was checking us in, seems they just finished a mission."

Bickslow smiled widely while raising his hand to get the bartenders attention. "Yup Yup, just relaxing and running a few errands before we head back." His babies floating around the table and its occupants, mimicking his yup yup.

"Errands?" The words were out of Lucy's mouth without a thought. She found herself starring into the icy steel blue eyes that had been keeping her awake all night for the last week.

Laxus cast her a glance, the look on his face bored and impassive. He glanced around at the rest of the table as he spoke. "Porlyusica heard we would be out this way for a mission. She asked us to stop by to see a sorceress here about some potions and items she needed re-stocked. We will be on our way in a few days once she has everything we need." His eyes once again found Lucy's. She saw his gaze fall for the barest moment on Natsu's arm around her shoulder.

Lucy leaned into Natsu's body, letting herself relax against his warmth. A little jealousy would do the lightening jerk some good….

The brown haired bartender had made her way over, she eyed Bickslow's babies apprehensively as she collected his order and went around the table to get everyone else's. Natsu removed his arm from Lucy's shoulder to grab a menu real quick and give it a once over.

"Me n Luce will take two number 3's and two pints of Honey Meade."

Lucy smiled at her pink haired friend, she knew he didn't care for the sweet Meade himself, and had ordered it on her behalf.

Gray opened his mouth to order but all he got was the bartenders back as she turned towards Laxus, ignoring the ice mage.

"And for you sir?" She smiled down at Laxus, and flipped her shoulder length brown hair out of her face.

Laxus smirked and leaned forward slightly, looking down at the menu casually for a moment before meeting the bartenders eye's and holding them. "I don't know, what's good here?"

That stupid son of a bitch!

Lucy quickly looked away, casting her gaze back to the beach.

Jeeze! Calm down girl! Merlin's beard you don't own him, you're not even dating! He told you, he told you from the very beginning what kind of guy he was, he is not prince charming…

"So what brings you guys out this way?"

Bickslows question brought her attnetion back to the table. The bartender was already making her way back to put in their orders, Grays scowl following her. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Gray, Laxus was a hard act to follow.

"Me, Ezra, and Gray got a mission up in the cliffs." Natsu nodded his head toward the north end of the beach. A few miles down you could see the coast line curve and rise, the sharp jutting Cliffs of Sorrow rising jagged out of the sea in the distance. "We are heading up there tomorrow"

"What about cheerleader here? Isn't she gonna pull her weight?" Bickslow wagged his pervy tongue Lucy's way.

"I've accepted a mission here in town. The Mage Celano passed away recently; he left behind a great library or magical texts. It's too dangerous for his family to go through and handle them, so I will be cataloging them." Lucy shot Bickslow a glare.

"A library?" Bickslow perked right up. "You need any help?"

"Ughhhh." Well this wasn't expected. She had always thought Fried was the academic one in their team.

"Seriously, no need to split the reward, I would love to help." Bickslow looked at her earnestly, or at least that's how it seemed, she couldn't really tell with his helmet on.

"Sure, I have been told it's quite a large library, it will be nice to have some help."

And with that it was settled. Their meals were delivered and soon it almost felt as if they were back home in their guild. They playfully ribbed one another and joked around. Natsu kept bugging Laxus for a fight, getting louder and louder with each drink, before finally giving up and picking a fight with Gray instead. Lucy found herself being introduced to each of Bickslow's babies again. They kept rearranging themselves quickly and having her and Ezra try and remember which was which.

After the sixth try Lucy finally got it right, and got them sorted out. She turned to share in her victory with Bickslow and Laxus only to find them gone. She didn't have to look far to find them, up at the bar she saw them flirting with the bartender and a waitress. The two girls looked so much alike there was no denying they must be sisters.

The bartender leaned over the bar suggestively, her shirt tugged down low, eye's only for Laxus. Twirling a few strands of her chocolate hair between her fingers.

Lucy felt a cold uncontrollable icy sense of jealousy wash over her. Making up a quick pretext, she excused herself from the table to go use the Inn's baths and wash off the days travel before going to bed. Ezra following close behind her.

1 hour later… (Seriously I need to stop doing this, its lazy writing lol)

Wrapping a dark blue robe around her soft curves, Lucy stepped out of the bath house, leaving Ezra alone to soak up some more steam. The sun had gone down hours ago, the hallways were dim as she made her way slowly back to her and Ezra's shared room.

A door on her left opened quickly as she past, a hand shot out rapidly grabbing her wrist and pulling her in. With a squeak of surprise Lucy found herself in a dark stairway, her back against a wall, Laxus's tall frame leaning over her.

"What the hell! Laxus..!"

He was on her fast as the lightning he wielded. His hands on the wall on either side of her head. He leaned down over her, his lips on her lips, soft, warm, and demanding. Without a thought Lucy's arms were wrapped around his neck. Returning his kiss, pressing her self up against his hard body.

"Ahh! What the fuck Blondie!"

Laxus pulled back from her as if stung. Bringing his hand up to his lip.

"You bit me? Seriously?" He eyed the tiny spirit mage in front of him warily.

"First off!" Lucy raised a hand in his face pointing one accusing finger at him. "You're blond too! Second! Don't you dare come cozying up to me after hanging all over that brunette bimbo." Lucy turned away from him heading for the door, as she reached out for the handle a hand slapped onto the door firmly blocking her way.

Turning back towards the Lightening Slayer she froze once catching site of him. He looked down at her scowling, his eyes as hard and jagged as the cliffs Natsu had pointed at earlier in the day. He leaned over her once again. One arm wrapping around her, putting his hand on her lower back, pulling her body roughly against his own. The other grabbed a handful of her hair at the base of her head. Pulling her head back slowly, he bent his head forward to nuzzle her neck, dragging his soft lips down the soft skin of her neck, stopping to lick at her collar bone.

"You smell like him, still even after a bath…" His voice was coarse and low.

Lucy shivered in his grasp. What was he talking about?

The dirty blond mage whirled her around so she was no longer facing him. Pulling her back against his chest, and her ass up against his crotch, he growled low in his throat. He leaned his head down and continued nuzzling and nipping at the back of her neck from behind.

His bites were not gentle. His hands on her hips, pulling her ass back against him. She could feel the hard outline of his member against her backside.

"Stupid pink haired runt, putting his hands all over what's mine."

Lucy swallowed hard against the sudden lump in her throat. He meant Natsu of course. So it really had bothered him to see them all cozy.

Lucy arched her back against him slowly, pushing her ass back against his hardness even more. Tilting her head back she looked up at the tall solid man behind her.

"Laxus…"

God I am such a jerk with my cliff hangers aren't I?
