The three walked home in silence, no one talking, no one blinking, just silence. They went to their separate homes, and feared what was to come at the next day, they couldn't unsee what they saw. They met back at the guild and the funk never left. You could here a pin drop in the room while most of the members looked into nothingness.
Romeo tried to break the tension "Hey what's wrong with you guys? You're acting like you've seen something terrible" At his exact words, everyone's heads lifted and stared at boy.

Romeo was silenced and in that moment, a mail man came walking through the door with stacks of requests. He stuck them to the board and left was something to stop the awful silence. Natsu and Gray went up along with most of the other guild members. Lucy watched everyone read them and a ruckus started as they began tearing them off like wild animals. Master walked by sipping a beer.

"Wow, must've been a good batch, just remember you have to do them all." He disappeared as the members with papers falling out of their arms stopped and cursed. Gray and Natsu had a combined mediocre amount, but it seemed like the person really getting fucked was Erza since hers was piled high. Natsu and Gray wobbled over with their stacks and Happy flew up.

"Hey! Why'd you guys grab all the missions?" Happy was trying to look at the missions but the boys kept moving them.

"Happy, can you please go get an explanation from Carla on how Exceeds are created for me." Gray was quick to recover.

"Aye sir?" Happy flew off and the boys just began for the door.

"Hey, what's going on?" Lucy got up and caught up to them.

"We're going to your house to explain. Just look back. Everyone else is going home too" Natsu was being awkward about this so something must be off.

"Probably to cry. Good thing we only have 20 and we can always make them 'disappear' with fire" Gray added. Lucy looked back as the uncomfortable guild members stressed out. When they arrived at Lucy's house they let go of the papers on her floors. The blonde got on her knees and began reading them in horror. All sexual requests paying fairly high amounts and requesting specific people, along with pairs that didn't exist such as "The blonde bombshell and the tall blonde guy with the scar"

"You see why we did it?" Gray started in."But now were stuck with them so, personally I think we pick one for us, for the right price, and we burn the rest."

Lucy and Natsu seemed to agree on the idea so the sorting began. They all got down and began sifting through them and turns out Grays number was very off as he had underestimated. Lucy began serving snacks and drinks since now the mood was lighting up. Jokes about the descriptions of other members, how awkward it was. Natsu picked feverishly at the meat, only having a a few slices of ham. He became quite until about halfway through when he got up and left quickly for the bathroom. Lucy and Gray exchanged looks of worry and followed him when a knock came at the door.

"I'll go take care of that. You take care of him okay?" Gray nodded and Lucy left for the door. Gray pressed against the cold wood and listened for any sound. All that he could make out was inaudible moaning and sobbing. A gag. He heard him heave followed by a loud crash and in a matter of seconds the door was open and there was Natsu, laying on the floor in a pool of water and vomit. Gray tried to pick him up but Natsu began attacking him with what little energy he had.

"Just stop being such a asshole and let me go get you help." Gray struggled.

"No, i'm fine. It was my fault." Natsu was gaining his fire back but Gray wouldn't stop. He sat him down on the toilet and began drawing a bath.

"Undress." Gray had a sternness in his voice. The dragon slayer was soaked and reeked of vomit so it was best for him. Lucy took one look at the situation and began cleaning up the mess on her floor. Gray picked up Natsu and placed him in the scalding bath, and Natsu felt at home. Gray sat at the side on the tub and Lucy joined him.

"So please explain to us what you were doing ya moron." Gray tried his hardest to be affectionate but it wasn't his strongest suit.

"I was just trying something out." Natsu was smug and looked away but he could feel that no one believed him.

"Okay fine. I'm not feeling well, plus i'm upset people saw you two being intimate." Gray and Lucy waited in silence. "OKAY and that Gajeel and Laxus saw Lucy naked." Natsu sunk down into the water while Gray and Lucy really didn't need to ask since it was obvious he has protection issues. towards them which had it's cute side.

"Okay Luce, can you go make him some soup and i'll get him in bed. We'll sort through the rest later." Lucy agreed to it and went off while Natsu sat for longer, talking to Gray about fighting. when the soup was done they put Natsu to bed and sat by his side until he woke up. Gray stroking his hair and leaving him to think.

"Hey, it's pretty late. Wanna take a stroll?" Lucy suggested. They were both growing tired and need a quick boost. They left Natsu for a bit and began walking down the roads of Magnolia.

"Luce, I want kids with you one day" Gray was gazing up but it stopped Lucy in her tracks.

"Really? I can't even think about that, since we have Natsu in the mix and it'll be awhile before kids." Lucy was frankly trying to put it nicely.

"Haha I know, i'm not ready now and what's sad is, I share the same feeling for Natsu, so were kinda stuck right now. I do have a question about you? Wait, no, two actually" Gray didn't look her in the eyes yet but Lucy stared lustfully up at him.

"Yeah Gray?"

"First, why haven't you gotten pregnant yet because we aren't ones for protection and frankly i'm worried because you've taken a lot of our...fluid." Gray shifted his head down out of nervousness.

Lucy chuckled "Because I take a special pill that makes sure I don't but you guys should start using some."

"Okay second question. Anal? Because Natsu and I do it and I've been thinking out some double work." Gray finally looked at her now concentrated face.

"Well, it's more personal for me, and painful. So i'm open for discussion but even if I started tonight it'd take awhile before I said yes to both meat sticks at once." Lucy was puckered at the very thought of it.

"You can sense it too huh? That something is seriously wrong with Natsu?" Gray suddenly was once again serious.

"Yeah but I think it's something we can't help so we just need to support him." Lucy was about to turn back but Gray grabbed her close, looking at her brown eyes flicker, and he gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

"We should head back and get a start on those papers." Gray took her by the hand and spun her under his arm so that she was facing the other way. Lucy thought the gesture was so sweet that a red blush painted her soft cheeks.
