Heeeeey, guys. Sorry for the rather late update, but I've been really sick this week and the bright light off the screen of my phone and the letters from the document made my head spin.

P.S, you should check out my latest fanfiction, The Knight With Scarlet Hair. It's gonna be updated soon, I have the second chapter almost done.

P.P.S, two very new fanfics are going to come out~ At least, I think so. I'm certain about one of them but the other I'm still contemplating on writing...

Gray scratched the back of his head, waiting patiently for the toast to be done.

Gray realized that Lucy had been carrying those pancakes to give to Juvia, but the cook knew his assistant. She always had bad stomach aches if she ate something too indulgent in the morning, so toast with some jam would do.

Gray crossed his arms over his bare chest, not even bothering to find his shirt (when'd he lose it, anyway?). The two slices of lightly toasted bread popped out from the toaster, and Gray grabbed them, careful of the heat and making sure not to burn himself.

He spread a thin layer of raspberry jam on each slice, Juvia's favorite. He suddenly stiffened a little. Since when had he been so... knowing of Juvia?

Disturbed a little with this realization, Gray placed the jam covered toast onto a plate, and grabbed a cup of OJ before holding them both in his hands and walking out of the kitchen.

The whole castle was quiet, which was strange for him. He was always used to the loud noises of the servants.

They must have slept in, then. It was a luxury that King Igneel always offered them each morning when Natsu didn't go to school.

Gray stopped in front of Juvia's room, before looking blankly at his full hands. How would he?...

Sighing, he tried not to blush in embarrassment as he knocked his head repeatedly on the door. "Oi! Juvia! It's Gray, you need to eat!"

There was silence, and then the door opened a sliver. A blue eye peeked out. "Gray-sama came to see Juvia?"

Gray flushed a little at her hopeful eyes. "Erm... Yeah?"

"Oh my!" Juvia gasped to herself, and the door shut once more. Gray felt himself twitch a little as he heard her mutter to herself behind the door, something along the lines of 'oh no, Juvia isn't ready!' and 'but Juvia wanted to wait until marriage!'

"Okay, Gray-sama!" Juvia shouted as she fully opened the door. "Juvia will have hot, wild sex with you!"

"WHAT?!" Gray screeched, walking back so fast he almost tripped over his own feet. "I came to feed you, you insane woman! What kind of crap has Levy given you to read again?!"

"Gray-sama has confiscated all of the erotic books that Levy-san gave Juvia," Juvia sighed wistfully, and laid hands on her link cheeks. "But that does not stop Juvia from fantasizing over Gray-sama and his muscled thighs as he bends her over the table and then thrusts repeatedly - "

"Okay, okay!" Gray screamed, successfully shutting her up. He tried to ignore the wild flush on his cheeks. "Just let me in, will ya? And get rid of those ridiculous fantasies!"

"Ah! Of course!" Juvia said, bowing deeply as she stepped aside to let him in.

Gray wandered inside, and felt his eyebrows touch the sky. It wasn't the room itself; in fact it was quite nice, the walls painted a beautiful sky blue and a comfy looking bed tucked away in the corner. It was the hundreds of dolls that littered the floor which made him shocked.

Multiple dolls of all sizes cluttered the space, and what horrified Gray was that they were all modeled after him. Each one had spiky raven hair, a cute set of dark eyes and a topless body.

Some were small enough to fit into his pocket while other stood as tall as him.

Gray decided to ignore yet again another one of Juvia's strange (but cute, don't tell anyone!) quirks and set the breakfast on her desk.

He turned around to face her and firmly crossed his arms across his chest. "Eat."

"Uwah! Gray-sama wants Juvia to eat him! Yes, Gray-sama, Juvia shall - "

"Get your head straight! I meant eat the damn breakfast!"

"Of course! Juvia will eat the breakfast Gray-sama has prepared so lovingly!" Juvia shouted in a determined voice, before proceeding to shove down the toast into her mouth and not even chewing before swallowing.

"Oi - OI! SLOW DOWN!" Gray bellowed, successfully holding her back from grabbing the other piece of toast and choking to death. "Look, calm down, and eat slowly, okay?"

"Yes! But Juvia will only do so if Gray-sama does this for Juvia..."

So that was how Gray found himself a minute later, sitting on the bed with Juvia on his lap as he fed her toast.

He was blushing and grumbling at the same time, trying not to let the said blush grow too big.

"Dammit."

Lucy woke up, her eyes aching and her eyesight blurry.

Something was gripping her hand tightly, and oh god was something on her shoulder?

The blond nearly screamed as tufts of spiky pink hair obscured her vision a little, but when the scent of smoke filled her, she softened.

Raising a delicate hand, she gently and cautiously ran her fingers through Natsu's hair. Surprisingly, the locks were soft and silky.

When had they fallen asleep? It must have been hours ago, Lucy could see the setting sun from their position against the side of the bed.

Lucy hummed and relished the moment. Natsu's calming scent washed over her; he smelled like smoke, not the nasty black kind, but the type that wafted through the air during a campfire as friends gathered around to roast marshmallows.

Lucy thought about school tomorrow, and fear striked her heart. She knew that Natsu promised to stick to her like glue, but what if he was wrong?

Lucy let out a small breath before turning her head and accidentally burying her nose into Natsu's hair.

She blushed softly as his smokey scent became stronger, and suddenly, she had an overwhelming urge to do something. Something they hadn't done since their wedding.

Very hesitantly and almost reluctantly, Lucy pressed her lips to the top of his head. Almost instantly she ripped away, a furious blush on her cheeks.

She tried to ignore the tingling sensation in her lips; why was her heart beating so fast?

Lucy leaned her cheek against his head, ignoring the want to kiss him again.

"Weirdo..." A soft chuckle was heard.

Lucy froze in both horror and shock as the pink-haired head began to move.

"You were molesting me in my sleep," Natsu whispered a little drowsily.

"N-No I wasn't!" Lucy shrieked, quick to defend herself. "And I'm not the weird one!"

Natsu laughed and fully lifted his head from her shoulder. His onyx black eyes were full of amusement. "If you wanted a kiss, just ask, Lucy. You don't have to be a pedophile."

"SHUT UP!" Lucy screamed, managing to scramble away from this insane man.

"But Luuuuucyyyy..." Natsu whined, crawling after her. She tried not to blush too much. "You were kissing me!"

"On the head!" She barked. "Friends do it sometimes!"

Natsu paused, his eyes gleaming. "Than I can kiss you because we're friends, right?"

Lucy went a deeper shade of red. "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT, YOU PERVERT!"

"Luuuuce - "

"NATSU! STAY AWAY FROM ME!"

Hopefully the next chapter I can nudge some of the mystery away. Who is Chisaki exactly? What's up with Igneel and his disappearances? Why is Juvia more emotional than usual, and no she's not on her period? What happened with Lisanna?

Questions, questions.

Only one person managed to figure out the connection with Igneel, and I am very proud of you.

Also I'm kind sad that Erza isn't a major character in this story, but I was aiming for the friendship between Natsu, Lucy, Gajeel, Gray, Levy, and Juvia. Sad. Erza's rampages are always welcome.

Anyway, please review, and again, sorry for the late chapter! I'm back on my feet, so it should be regular updating schedule from now on. EVERY SUNDAY, THERE IS A NEW CHAPTER. EVERY SUNDAY. So please stop asking me for a new update in every review. It annoys me that some people only put 'Update!' instead of their actual thoughts on the chapter.

Please review PROPERLY!
