A nice cool tingling was felt all over. It was so comfortable and she squirmed to feel more of that cool feeling.

He felt warm. It wasn't a hot warm.. but a nice warm. Someone was squirming into his chest.. his eyes slowly opened.. and what awaited him was beautiful.

Her. Lucy was in his arms, smiling. Her golden hair perfectly flowing and her face in complete happiness. She was in her pajamas and he eyed her body that was so closer to him. Then he realized his skin. His bare chest.

"Huh…?" Gray lifted up the covers and found himself completely naked. "OMG WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!" he thought to himself.

He gently removed his arm from under lucy's head.. she didn't like it at all. She began to frown and he removed himself even slower. Eventually he finally got out from the bunk bed and began to descend to floor level.

Not wanting to be found having slept with Lucy naked, he checked the three dragon slayers.. luckily they were sleeping still. Or were they?

He rushed off into the bathroom and began to shower. Soon after, Lucy woke up from a rough bump of the train.

"Ugh….."
"Nnnmn….."
"ughnm….."

She heard three moans and she shot up into a sit. Since she was on the top bunk, the ceiling was low and she hit her head.

"AH! Kkkk….Owwiiiee!" She rolled around on the bed rubbing her head.

"Oh.. OH.. OHHH! AAHHH!" Lucy rolled off the top bunk.

She shut her eyes for impact onto the hard floor.. but instead.

"Ooooff…nnnnn…"

Opening her eyes, she was shocked to find herself on top of Natsu.

"Natsu! Are you okay? I'm so sorry!"
"Lushi….. ugh… falling…." Natsu was still affected by motion sickness.
"Natsu…" Lucy smiled. "I guess you're still catching me from falling. Come on. Let's get you back into bed."

Lucy helped Natsu get up from the floor and put onto his bed. She brushed his bangs away from his face. Natsu's heavy breathing could be heard.. he had fallen right back to sleep again. She smiled warmly.

She stood up straight and looked over at Gajeel in the other bottom bunk. He sure looked different with a cleaner haircut. He looked good.

Tiptoeing on her feet, she checked up on Laxus on the top bunk. He had his eyes closed. His arms were under his head and it made his biceps bulge out. She blushed hard as she saw his muscles and how good he looked. She quickly ducked her head away and went out of the bunk room.

As she walked out, she saw Gray come out of the shower with just a towel on.

"Good morning Lucy" he rubbed a towel on his wet hair.
"Good morning Gray." Lucy blushed and looked away.
"Did you sleep well?"
"mhm. Did you?"
"I slept really well. Thanks to you."
"what… what you mean?"
"You wouldn't let me go. Don't you remember."
"What…?!"
"Haha.. don't worry nothing happened. But I guess I'm more comfortable than flametard."
" I…"
"showers all yours" he smirked.
"Thanks." She quickly grabbed her stuff and passed by him into the shower.

Gray dried off in the living room part of their car. He looked over at the bedridden dragonslayers.
Natsu was glaring right at him. Gray smirked and stuck a tongue out at him.

"GGGGGRRRRAAYYYYY" Natsu growled lowly.
"Haha." Gray ignored Natsu and continued to change.

After Lucy came out, she and gray went to dining cart to eat breakfast. It was a lovely sunny morning and through the window, they could see lush green pastures and trees.

Unknown to them, someone from afar.
Click click*

After finishing breakfast, the two head back to their bunk.

Click click*

When they return to their room, Lucy eyes widen as she sees a wet Laxus just exiting the bathroom about to tumble over. She runs over towards him and helps him balance.

He looked over at her with a grimaced look. Lucy just smiled warmly and led him over to his bunk. He began to start changing in front of Lucy, causing her to turn red and steam. She runs out and closes the door.

Gray looks over at her confused.

"Hehe.. he's changing." Lucy smiles wearily and flustered.
"Oh." Gray laughs.

Soon after the train finally arrived at the train station. With the train stopping, Natsu and Gajeel rushed out of their beds and dashed out the door. Laxus exited soon after but first let Lucy go ahead.

She blushed at him and quickly went towards the exit of the train. Gray followed after Lucy but as he did, Laxus whispered to Gray.

"You got lucky this time Gray.. I hope you enjoyed it. You'll never get a chance like that again."
Gray smirked. "Mhm whatever"

Lucy stepped out into the sun. She smiled warmly and saw Natsu and Gajeel stretching, loving the sun on their skins and the feel of solid ground under their feet.

The two dragon slayers look over at her. Natsu smiled wide. Gajeel smirked.

Gray came around and put an arm around Lucy's shoulders. Lucy smiles at Gray and he to her. The two then began to comfortably walk along the road.

The three dragon slayers were left in shock at how Gray got so close to her so fast. Natsu and Gajeel growled. Laxus glared at Gray's head.

Natsu ran up and pushed Gray away from Lucy. He put his arms around Lucy's shoulders and smiled widely at her confused face.

"Yes natsu?"
"Nothing just wanted to walk with you."
"You irritating lizard!" Gray yelled at Natsu.
"What did you call me!" Natsu took his arm away and put up a clenched fist at Gray.

The two men were at each other's faces, ready to brawl.

Lucy sweat dropped.

Then someone heavy came up to her left side and walks beside her. She looked over and found to her surprise, Gajeel. He continued to facing forward.
Someone else walks beside her on her right and she looked over to find herself surprised again.

Laxus was walking facing forward beside her.

Natsu and Gray were too busy in their brawl to notice that two men had taken their prize.

Lucy looked over at her two best friends and just giggled at them. A heavy hand landed on top of her head. Lucy's giggling stopped. She's was startled and looked up at the owner of the hand, Gajeel. He's didn't even look at her once. He continued to focus on the road ahead of them. He took his hand off of her head.

Lucy watched him silently with a confused look. After a bit, Gajeel glanced over to see her face. Her head was tilted slightly and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Her round eyes showed her confusion and sincerity.

"Gihi…" Gajeel laughed to himself.

Laxus watched the interaction from the corner of his eye, wondering what in the world Gajeel was up to.

After getting no explanation from Gajeel, Lucy's attention went back to Natsu and Gray. She found it funny and yet annoying that the two still continue to fight even after seven years.

"I hate you Ice Princess"
"And I hate you you oversized gecko"
"I don't know how people stand the look of your face. It just pisses me off. I just want to rip it off."
"My face!? You should look at yours. Its uglier than hodras and you stink like one to. Seriously natsu. Have you ever heard of a shower. you and your stench piss me off."

"OH you wanna talk about stench do you. I've had to deal with YOUR stench from glands from all over your body since you love stripping so much. NOTHING COVERS ANYTHING ON YOUR BODY TO HIDE YOUR NASTY STENCH. EVERY FART EVERY POOP EVERY POSSIBLE THING YOUR BODY EXCRETES DEFILES THE AIR."

"It's not my fault I don't have some nasty curse of a gecko nose as yours that I can smell everything. I should just fart more to piss you off. "

"I'M NOT A GECKO! I'M A DRAGON! AGH I HATE YOU!"

Lucy couldn't help but to giggle at their argument.

Again.. Gajeel put his hand on top of Lucy's head. Plop Lucy stops giggling.

She looked up at him and he continued to ignore her as before. He took his hand off.
And she continued to look at him with the same confused look.

Gajeel stole a quick glance over at her face. "Gihi…. Ahaha…." He laughed inside.

She looked away even more confused than before.. "odd… what is he trying to do." It didn't help that Gajeel had his mask on. She bit her lower lip and furrowed her eyebrows in thought.

"Gihi."

Lucy shot her gaze towards him and glared. "Are you toying with me?"
Gajeel just looked away as if he didn't know what she was talking about.

Laxus rolled his eyes. He was far too annoyed with the two brawling boys and their stupidity. Laxus sighed.

Lucy was swatting at Gajeel's hand now and he in return smirked beside her. She had a terrible thought now. Lucy realized that Gajeel was going to keep bugging her the whole way to their client's village.

"So this is how you're going to be… I guess you have changed a lot Gajeel. Well two can play that game." Lucy smirks and decides to do something that will catch him off guard.

But of course she couldn't just do THAT with Gajeel. She'll need the ploy of being friendly with both men at her side.

Gajeel notices her smirk and raises an eyebrow at her.

She gently weaved her hands around both dragon slayers arms. The two men freeze in their walk as they are looking forward. They both look at her slowly.

She's was smiling warmly while looking forward. She pulled at their arms to continue walking.

They followed her lead. Shocked at her boldness yet liking this bold side to her, they smirk. They like her holding onto their arms.. and they realize something else is touching their arms…

Their arms are put at each side of her chest.. and something soft was also brushing up against their arms.

Laxus raised an eyebrow at her. She clearly is really clueless to her surroundings. He thinks to himself, "I'm going to change that."

Gajeel was just happy to have been in the situation. Nothing like a rub and getting away with it.

Gray and Natsu halt mid-brawl and stare at Lucy clinging onto the older men. They let go of each other and run towards her in hopes to steal their spots away from them.

Gajeel and Laxus notice them approaching. Laxus punched Natsu away while Gajeel punched Gray away.

Lucy sweatdropped and prayed that they would arrive soon to a village. These men were definitely being a handful. A yummy handful.

By nightfall, the team arrived at a village and decided to spend the night at their hot springs resort. Having been tugged around by the four men, Lucy was extremely tired and direly wanted a hot bath to soothe her muscles.

The owner looked the team over with suspicion. Four men with a lonely hot lady was too suspicious looking for her tastes. Lucy assured her that they weren't going to do anything fishy and would not destroy any property.

"Alright little girl.. but sadly to say.. there's only one large family room left. You five will have to use it all together."

Lucy turned red understanding.. that she would have to share a room with the four..

"We'll take it." Gajeel said gruffly paying for the room.

She looked up at him with shocked eyes. Gajeel Redfox.. just paid for their whole stay at a resort.

Gajeel smirked and grabbed her wrist. He pulled her along to their room and the others followed after. Opening the door for her, he leaned close to her ear..

"you owe me bunnygirl" Gajeel grinned behind his mask.
gulp* Lucy walked in quickly and began to get her stuff ready for the hot springs.

As the men were getting settled.. Natsu lying on the ground, Gray doing the same.
Gajeel taking his bandages, mask, and coverings off. Laxus never came in and the men were too busy relaxing to realize.

Lucy rushed out of the room excited for the hot springs.

"Women…" Gajeel sighed.
"No.. Lucy." Gray said after.
"hahaha." Natsu laughed aloud.

Lucy stepped out with a towel on. Hoping to get in before the men arrive, Lucy had rushed off to finish washing up before they ruined her hot spring moment. She used her toe to test out the water. It was a good hot temperature.

She walked in gently, smiling. It felt so good to relax in the water… the cool quiet night.. steam rising from the water.
Moonlight and stars glistening. It was perfect. Until…

Splash…

Her eyes widened and she looked around frantically towards the source of the splash…HORROR…

"Laxus!"

"Yo blondie." Laxus was leaning back against the edge of the pool. Arms resting above the water, extending outwards from his body on the pool border.

"When did you get here!"
"I was here the whole time."
"What?!" Lucy paled.

Laxus stood up, water rushed down his body. His torso naked. She didn't want to even think about looking down into the water to see if he's covered there or not. Lucy turned beat red and she turned away from him with her hands up to cover her face.

She submerged herself until half of her head was popped out of the water. Laxus walked over and sat right next to her.

She peeped through her fingers to look at him. He was looking up at the stars. Feeling eyes towards him, he glanced over at her. She quickly covered her face again in embarrassment.

He laughed heartily.

"Just sit blondie. And relax."

She turned around and sat next to him. She uncovered her face and looked around. Silent. Water trickling into the spring. Steam rising into the night air.

She sighs.. and gets comfortable. The silence between them isn't awkward.. its comfortable silence.

He's closed his eyes as he leaned back against the edge of the pool. Lucy scoops up water and let the water trickle down between her hands. Laxus opened an eye and began watching her.

He smiled. She's so childish.

Lucy suddenly stops. She brings her arms down into the water. And abruptly she submerged herself into the water. She grabs her chest in the water, clenching her fist.

A sharp needle like pain shot through her chest twice. She gasped underwater.. letting air bubbles rise furiously up. And then the pain was gone.

She rose up to the surface. Her hair matting her face. She gasps for air. Her fists are trembling underwater.. "What just happened." Lucy thinks to herself.

"You okay blondie?" Laxus looked at her weirdly.

She looked towards his direction. And Laxus just started laughing hysterically. Her hair was matted to her face like she was a wet cat.

Realizing the situation, she quickly fixed her hair and blushed furiously with embarrassment.

"What happened just now?"
"oh.. nothing.."
"You're a terrible liar."
"What? I'm… not lying. I'm.."
"I know you're lying. What happened."
"sigh… I had a cramp…"
"HAHAHA. From what? Playing with water?"

Lucy gave him a "Really?" look.

"Ok… I'll believe you had a cramp. Come over here and I'll fix that." Laxus smirked playfully.
"Huh..?"

He gently picked her up by her waist

"Wait.. Laxus.. what.!"
"Just hold still." He placed her to sit on his lap.
"Laxus… I…. OMG!…"

Laxus began massaging Lucy's shoulders..

"Mhm… that's what they all say.."
"Pervert!" Lucy squirmed and tried to get off of Laxus but he holds her down.
"I'm kidding. Just sit still."

He continued to massage her.. she tried to hold back her moans.. all the days frustrations of being tugged about.. swatting at Gajeel's hand.. ugh…

But OH MY…. Laxus knew exactly where to touch. how to touch. how hard to touch.

She was in bliss.

"Mmm… there."
"You like it."
"mmmhm…..mm."

His hands were on her shoulders… massaging soothingly.

Along her neck… her shoulders… along her spine.. down to her tail bone.

She was feeling weak with how good it felt.

When he was done.. she was feeling soo good that she didn't realize she was leaning up against his chest. His arms were around her. it just felt too nice and she didn't want to leave it.

"Blondie."
"Mm?"
"Didn't know you liked me this much."
"Hmm?" Lucy opened her eyes slowly and looked around

She felt something heavy around her. she then realized.. she half fell asleep on Laxus lap.

Underwater.. her towel and slipped down slightly and she quickly grabbed it up. And in the midst of her squirming.. her towel and ridden up so she was practically sitting on his lap with her bare butt! Luckily he had a towel covering his thighs…

She tried to get off but Laxus kept her in place.

"Sorry Laxus.. I didn't mean to.. it was.. "
"It was what?" he whispered into her ear.

She shivered. He smirked

"just… "
"Just?"
"just so comfortable… it felt nice."
"mmm I'm glad it felt nice for you too."

You too?... resonated in Lucy's head.

"If you ever want a massage again, you can come sit on me anytime."

Lucy gasped. And Laxus let go now. She got up and froze. Laxus got up and she heard splashing and footsteps going away.

Gajeel was standing by the doorway to their room. Laxus smirked at him. And Gajeel hmphed.

The four were in their rooms. Sake out. Drinking leisurely but arguing lowly with each other.

Lucy finally walked in and Gajeel invited Lucy to come drink with them. But as soon as Gajeel finishes, Natsu freezes and yells..

"OH NO. NEVERR! Lucy can't ever drink sake"
"What why?!" Gray asked Natsu
"Do you not remember!" He yelled at Gray.
"I can't remember her. All I remember is Juvia melting me…." Gray shivers at the memory.

Lucy laughed as she sat next to Gajeel and Natsu.
Gajeel handed Lucy a cup of sake. He smirked.

"ehehe… I'll pass… I'd rather not relive that day."
"Come on…don't be a baby" Gajeel takes another cup.
"Seriously.. I'm good." Lucy tries to give the cup to Natsu, who gladly takes it from her.
"Chicken." Gajeel downs his cup.
"I'm not!"
"Are too"
"Are not!"
"Prove it."

Lucy glares at Gajeel and clenches her fists.. "Grrrr…."
"did…did you just growl at me?" he looks at her shocked.

She squints her eye at him. She takes the cup from Gajeel's hand and pours herself a drink. And downs it.

"NOO! LUCY!" Natsu pales.

Gajeel smirks at her and pours her another.

"NO STOP! STOP IT YOU METAL FREAK!" Natsu tries to take the sake bottle away from him.

Gajeel gives it to Laxus and Laxus holds it away from Natsu.

"Just chill Natsu. You won't have to take care of her. I'm sure any of us wouldn't mind taking care of her except you."

Hiccup.

The four men look at lucy.. she's pouring herself another drink as she hiccups. She shakes the bottle clean as it runs dry..

"when… did she finish that bottle…?" Natsu asked with his veins popping out of his forehead now. His eyebrows twitching.
"Where did she even get that one.." Gajeel asked confused.
"That was a brand new one.." Gray said paling.
"what? What just happened here?" Laxus looking around at the others.

"Natssuuuuuuuuu~"
"h…hi….hi Luce. You feeling okay?"
"Natssuuu… you left me… Graaaaayyyyy…"

Natsu's eyebrows are twitching mad… gray is paling… she looks up at him teary eyed..

"You left me… you all left me…"

She reached for the bottle in Gray's hand.. Gray gave it over to Natsu as Natsu tries to hide all the bottles from her.

Shocking them all, Lucy went on all fours and hugged Natsu to the floor. He tipped over onto his back and kept the bottle out of her reach. She crawled on top of him and put her legs on each side of Natsu's hips.

"Naattssuuuuu…." Lucy whines..

The three men looked over/around Lucy to look at her over Natsu… to see his face.. his reaction.. the three in complete shock, on the verge of having bloody noses.

Her chest was right in from of Natsu's face… he began to sweat… and was on the verge of having a nose bleed..

Gajeel decided Natsu had enough fun with her and so he got up and snatched the sake bottle from Natsu and chugged it down…

"Gajeel! Laxus! Gray! Chug em all!" Natsu pleads.

Gajeel, Gray, and Laxus each grabbed a bottle each and began chugging the sake.

Lucy sat up on Natsu.. and looked behind her at the men. Natsu gasped as it starts to feel… really good. "Luce… Lucy.. get off of me…"

The men looked at him with jealousy, each still chugging the bottles down

"Aww… I wanted some…." Lucy looks sheepishly at them. She starts to crawl over towards Laxus… she sits on his lap..

He finished the bottle and flipped it over.

"See. All gone."

Lucy giggled and snuggled into his chest. Laxus put a hand on Lucy's head for no reason. She looked up at him with wide eyes, confused. Her cheeks were flustered from the alcohol and her eye lids were having a hard time staying open.

Laxus gazed at her face and then realized what Gajeel had been doing the entire time. He looked over at Gajeel with wide eyes. And Gajeel gave a look of understanding.

He lets his hand slide down the back of her head. She smiles happily.

"Mmmmm"

The men all freeze… and stare at Lucy. Natsu was still lying down, trying his best to calm himself down and his certain awoken friend.

Laxus pet her again.

"Mmmmm"

Laxus began finding this situation a little weird… he wasn't massaging her this time… he was only petting Lucy.. and she was making such noises…. She pushed herself up against him for more.

Laxus began to squirm now. Gray and Gajeel glared at Laxus. Natsu was praying that she would sober up soon… a vulnerable thin robed Lucy.. was a danger to them all.

"Natsu…. Nattssssuuuuu.."

Natsu twitched… "Oh.. no…." he cringed.

"NAatssuuu~"
"yea… ?"
"I have to pee…."
"Not again!"

"PUHAHAHAHAHA!" Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus burst out.
"I really got to go now…" Lucy crawled over to him.

"lluuuuuucccccccCCCCYYYYYY!" Natsu picked Lucy up and dashed for a restroom.

Gajeel, Gray, and Laxus were rolling around on the floor laughing with tears streaming out.
