Lucy pov

Sighing in content I sunk further in the bathtub then I already was "This feels great! Nothing better than taking a bath" I let my entire body relax growing limp as my muscles unclenched themselves. The hot water enveloped my entire body, as steam rose from the boiling water causing a light foggy mist to blanket the entire bathroom. Closing my eyes I let my mind drift off, smiling to myself as I thought about the entire guild but mostly about a certain Pinkette. Putting my head underwater I let myself clear my entire mind, I felt calm and... I felt like I'm being watched. Rising to the surface I looked around the room but found nobody there, a shiver ran down my spine as I again felt like a pair of eyes was staring at me watching my every move.

"Weird" I huffed as I sunk back down into the water only to be blinded by a bright flash of light. "What the heck?" I covered my eyes only to see Loke sitting across from me in the tub. I shrieked louder then I even thought was humanly possible for me. "Loke! I told you, you need to stop opening your own damn gate! it's either your stubbornness or I cursed myself the last time I told you that you needed to stop! That we would be found in this situation if you didn't stop!"

"I know my princess... but I just haven't seen you in a while... and you barely summon me anymore, plus I couldn't resist it!" Loke flirtatiously said, in his smooth way of speaking.

"But I'm in my bathtub! You damn lion!" I yelled "You stay as far away as possible! or else I shave off the orange mane of yours!" I pointed at Loke threatening him.

"All right, I'm going to stay at this side of the bath tub" Loke replied holding his hands up in surrender. "But that doesn't mean I can't do this!" Loke quickly grabbed my hand pulling me towards him so I now sat beside him in the tub.

"LOKE! You damn horny cat!" I shrieked again but this time throwing shampoo bottles at him, but he smoothly dodged every single item I threw at him.

"Ok i'll stay away..." Loke laughed jokingly as he surrendered his game once again.

"Much better" I covered my chest bringing in my knees and placed my chin on top, using my hands I scooped up all of the bubbles that surrounded the bathtub and brought them towards me so Loke wouldn't see anything, still standing on my guard I mentally sighed 'well there goes another not so relaxing bath' my face scrunched up in annoyance. "Loke do you have anything better to do then open your own gate to annoy the living hell out of me?" I questioned.

"I wouldn't call it annoying the hell out of you, it's more like I'm keeping you company during your lonely stages of life, and I'm just checking up on you, like I was asked to do..." Loke said quickly shutting his mouth at the last part. "I was not supposed to say that..."

"Uhh Loke... what do you mean like you were asked to do?"

"It's nothing really, I'm just checking up on you that's all..." heh Loke laughed awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.

"You know you are a terrible liar" I grabbed some bubbles and threw them at him smacking him in the face. Staring at me stunned he grinned as he grabbed a handful of bubbles himself throwing them at my face. This resulted in a huge bubble fight as we kept throwing bubbles at each other from the opposite ends of the bath, this is one of the reasons why I loved spending time with my spirits... I could always rely on them; they were my friends. Both of us now out of breath from the hysterics of our laughter. "So Loke... who did ask you to watch over me... it couldn't have been Natsu considering you two don't exactly get along, Natsu being the jealous boyfriend that he is, one of the other celestial spirits couldn't have asked either because the Plue was the last one I summoned and that was a while back. Someone from the guild?" Shaking my head I couldn't understand why anyone would talk to Loke about keeping an eye out for me.

"Well it's more difficult then that... it was quite a while back actually when we were all on Tenrou Island... I was partnered up with Gray and our contract was withheld during that time... at first I couldn't understand what he was implying, it confused me but afterwards it all made sense..." Loke's voice continued to talk as he explained his point of view on Tenrou Island.

*FLASHBACK Loke's POV*

Gray and I hid behind a row of bushes as a stampede of animals ran passed us, both of us out of breath we decided to sit down and rest for a while. The only sound that could be heard was the uneven sound of our breathing, as it slowly returned back to its normal pace. My sharp eyes scanned the area that we stopped to rest at, searching from left to right my eyes stopped to look at Gray. His eyes seemed to hold a look of admiration as he peered down at the piece of paper he was holding, seemingly to be a picture of someone. "Hey Gray what's that you're holding?" I questioned as I looked over at him, catching Gray's attention his head snapped up his eyes looking wild as if he had just been caught it some sort of secret pleasure of his.

"Uh nothing Loke, nothing at all! I just found this lying on the ground" Gray's voice rang out frantically as he tried convincing me that it was nothing of importance. Peering over his shoulder I smirked as I recognized an all too familiar face. It was a photograph of my current master, Lucy Heartfilia, the only thing is that the picture seems to be something that would have been taken privately, and without recognition of the person in the picture. Smirking at Gray his face turned red as he tried shoving the picture into his back pocket, but before he could I snatched it out of his hands holding it away from my body as Gray reached for it desperately.

"Sooo Gray" My voice rang out in a smooth suave manner, "You fancy my Lioness?" I questioned cocking an eyebrow as I held my infamous smirk.

"Uhhh what are you saying of course not! Like I said I just found the picture on the ground!" Gray shaking his head in disagreement the red colour turning brighter by the minute.

"So you wouldn't mind if I kept it then right? It's always nice to hang the picture in my house maybe?" Me being ever so clever decided to squeeze the information out of Gray.

"No!" Grays eyes widened reaching for the picture once more hastily grapping it out of my gently hold "I mean- it's just that..." He stared stunned at his actions trying to cover them up with a stupid excuse.

"Gray I'm not that stupid... it's obvious you like her so why don't you tell her?" I ask, "Or are you just too scared to even admit your own feelings to yourself?"

"No it's not that... it's just that well I know Lucy likes Natsu you can see it in her eyes the way she looks at him... he likes her back too, they're both just too oblivious and naive to see it for themselves!" Gray tugged at his hair.

"That doesn't mean that you can't tell her you like her!" I interrogated.

"Yes it means exactly that! I don't want to ruin everything! Lucy doesn't like me; she loves Natsu and if I told her that I like her more than a lot it would ruin everything! The team, our friendship... heck it could even cause the entire guild to go AWOL, and all of it would be my fault... if I could just know she is safe without seeing or asking her, if I could just admire her from a distance without making a total fool of myself I'd be happy enough... but that will never happen" Gray's voice hushed down to a quiet whisper "Because to know she's ok I'd have to ask her... and then she'd know exactly why I care".

Looking at Gray I felt bad, seeing that he's in this situation even makes me feel depressed, sitting in silence I contemplated everything that Gray had just told me from the start to finish 'If I could just know she is safe without seeing or asking her... admiring her from a distance...' I GOT IT! "Gray I have an idea!" I exclaimed feeling like a genius. Gray looked at me confused well more like I was an idiot...

"What if I check up on Lucy and report back to you occasionally, that way you will know if she's ok or not!" I looked at Gray excited; even though I would be helping him it would just mean that even I could open my gate more often just to see her it's like killing two birds with one stone!

"Isn't that a bit creepy? It's like I would be stalking her..." Gray stared stunned.

"Not like looking like a complete doofus while grinning at her picture isn't creepy at all!" I retorted back. This got Gray tongue tied "Sorry buddy just stating a fact" I grinned at him shrugging my shoulders.

"Fine... it's a deal. You have to promise me though that there is going to be no funny business... and remember if you do anything to hurt Lucy while checking up on her..." Gray threateningly ended it making an ice make magic hammer and pounding it on one of the trees nearby "That tree will be your face"

Gulping at his threat I stuck my hand out, "It's a deal" Shaking hands we continued back to our silence. "One question if Lucy ever finds out?" I stared at Gray "She will be creeped out maybe even stop talking to you".

"Let's just hope that that day never comes" Looking down at the palm of his hands Gray looked sad.

"But Gray what about Juvia? We all thought you liked each other... well Juvia on the more obvious side but still" I queered.

"Well how should I state this...I do like Juvia but maybe not yet... I still like Lucy ever since she came to the guild. I was always jealous of Natsu because he was always with her... but I guess ever since Juvia came along some things changed- DAMN I HATE THIS!" Gray tugged at his hair while yelling out the last bit.

"I understand... just remember this Lucy may or may not start liking her it's at your own risk... she clearly likes Natsu... but Juvia... Well I don't think I want to mention everything about her because you already know..." I grinned at Gray at the last little part.

"Whatever I just want to make sure that Lucy is safe... that is all that matters to me" Cutting off our conversation.

*Flashback end*

Lucy stared shocked as I explained a few of the parts leaving out the details that Gray had a picture of her, and that he loved her. I just explained that it was a deal with Gray I made about keeping her safe.

Lucy POV

I was stunned at all of the things Loke had been telling me that since Tenrou Island he had been keeping an eye on me because he made a deal with Gray. "So to make things easier, you are like my body guard because Gray thought I was in trouble or what?" I asked stupidly as Loke mentally face palmed himself in his mind.

"Yeah let's just leave it at that... I'm your bodyguard" Loke replied monotonously.

"Hmmm ok then... guess that's that" Lucy smiled. Loke thinking that she was taking this easier than he thought she would.

"Ok well I have to get out because I'm starting to look like a prune" I implied as I raised my hand up showing Loke my moisture absorbed skin. Loke smirked as he realized that I was still naked in the tub with him. "Wipe that cocky smirk off of your face I'm getting out so cover your eyes!"

"All right all right!" Loke covered his eyes as I quickly sloshed out of the tub grabbing the towel and wrapping it around my body. "Nice butt" Turning around I saw Loke smirking at me.

"What the hell, I thought I told you to cover your eyes" I yelled at him pointing an accusing finger at him.

"I did! But then again I didn't see... much" Loke grinned as he stepped out of the tub showing his glorious manhood.

"God Damn it Loke! You could have warned me" I squealed quickly covering my eyes before I saw everything.

"Whatever..." Loke mumbled changing into his dry clothes that he somehow took of once he got here.

"I'm going to go change now please close your gate..." I mumbled as I opened the door the same time Natsu walked into my house peering behind me Natsu saw that Loke stood behind me, glancing from me walking out of the bathroom with nothing but a towel covering me, to Loke who stood behind. I turned around getting a mere glance at Loke as he winked and disappeared in a flash of light. Turning back around I saw that Natsu now right before me a few more inches and our lips would be touching.

"So Luce, what was that about?" Natsu growled protectively, as he pulled me out of the doorway, pushing me up against the wall.

"Nothing Natsu, I was just having a bath and the damn lion showed up" I replied quickly my voice hitching as I saw jealousy in Natsu's eyes. Smirking at his he looked at me baffled. "So, what are you jealous about?" I giggled as Natsu cursed under his breath.

"Who says I'm jealous..." His breath was felt on my lips as he growled.

"Your eyes never lie Natsu" I whispered bringing my face closer as our lips were a few centimetres apart.

"What if I was what will you do?" Natsu replied threateningly. Silence took over us for a few seconds before my voice came out in a hushed whisper almost impossible for a regular human to hear, but that's the catch Natsu isn't a regular human... he's a dragon slayer nothing escapes from him, and once those few words came out of my mouth it drove him crazy, his lips desperately crashed down on mine. It was a kiss that felt territorial, and heavy. The way his lips moved on mine made me feel weak against him as he possessively captured my lips with his in the heated kiss. Curling my fingers into his hair I broke the kiss and stared at him in silence.

"Guess I have to say that I find you unbelievably hot when you're jealous more often" I smirked at him as he rolled his eyes pushing his lips back on mine.

HEHE I'M EVIL! WELL THERE IS A BLIZZARD OUTSIDE -_- I'M GETTING REALLY ANNOYED... THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY SPRING BREAK. WELL WHATEVER! I FINISHED THIS CHAPTER BECAUSE OF IT! THANKS FOR READING!
