"Dude what the FUCK?" Gray yelled the second Lucy left, a dark blush on her face. Natsu had walked her to the door, still trying to convince her to ditch girls day and she had reminded him that he'd have Erza to answer too. She had pecked his lips and nearly screamed in fright when Gray walked out naked with a pissed off look on his face, both of them realizing that Gajeel was in the kitchen watching them with a blank stare. Natsu stared at them with his mouth gaped, realizing that they were actually home. Lucy's face had caught fire, a squeak coming from her.

"I'll uh...see you later." Natsu had mumbled and she let out a quick breath, slipping out of the room as fast as possible. Natsu tugged at his collar awkwardly, sweat dropping. Gray had found his underwear thankfully and then he had screamed.

"What uh...what's the yelling about?" Natsu asked with an innocent smile and Gray and Gajeel looked at each other and then back at him.

"You didn't tell us the girl you were bringing home would be Lucy Heartfilia." Gajeel said and Natsu scratched the back of his head.

"I didn't think that it was important…?" It came out more of a question when he said it.

"You also didn't say she would still be here at noon...and that you guys were gonna have loud sex." Gray snapped and Natsu flashed them a guilty smile, heading into the kitchen.

"Well I wasn't really expecting there to be sex at all...so lucky me." He chuckled and Gajeel smacked the back of his head, pulling out the jug of apple juice. The pink haired man shot the pierced one a glare but didn't jump at him, deciding he deserved at least one hit since he had to hear Lucy's sudden overwhelming desire to be fucked senseless, and then Natsu catering to her wishes.

"Okay but still, what the fuck? You guys fucking hate each other, even I know that." Gajeel said and Gray leaned against the counter as Natsu moved to the fridge and pulled out the gallon of oj that had his name on it.

"Did you drug her? She'd rather gouge her eyes out than be around you. And you're saying she spent the night with you and willingly had sex with your ugly mug?" Gray asked and Natsu furrowed his brows, shaking the jug.

"Watch it ice princess," he took a sip from the gallon, "alright, you want the quick answer or should we all change into our pajamas and cuddle on the couch while gossiping and braiding each other's hair?" He asked sarcastically and Gray threw a used napkin at him, it going halfway before hitting the ground.

"Just tell us what the fuck happened dude, we had to listen to you get off with her...and everyone thinks we're best friends so we deserve to know." Gray said and Natsu scoffed taking another chug of the juice. Gajeel crossed his arms, leaning against the sink. Natsu took a deep breath, knowing he had to come clean. At least to these two. Lucy had come clean to all of her friends, and he was the one who wanted a relationship anyway.

"Alright...you wanna know?" Natsu asked and Gray nodded, taking a sip of his water. Gajeel nodded as well, both waiting expectantly. "Over the past few months I've been hate fucking Lucy." He confessed and Gray spit his water out in a nearly perfect spit take. Gajeel and Natsu both jumped in disgust as they were hit, grumbling angrily at Gray who stared at Natsu, his lips still puckered.

"Months? Like, how long?" Gajeel asked after a moment, wiping his arm off. Natsu bit his lip.

"Uh...you guys remember that party that the crazy drunk girl Bachus is dating threw?" He asked and Gray face-palmed.

"So wait, is that why you keep disappearing too when you're pissed off? You just show up angry and you guys fuck?" Gray asked, confusion in his face and Natsu took a deep breath.

"No...well I mean yeah sometimes that happens like that, sometimes she's the one who's pissed off, then other times it's both of us and it just kind of happens." Natsu said before shaking his head. "But it doesn't matter, I asked her to be my girlfriend." He said and it was Gajeels turn to do a spit take. Natsu closed his eyes, annoyance rushing through him as his face was covered in apple juice and spit. He took the napkin that Gajeel offered, wiping off his face and neck.

"Wait wait wait, since when do you want anything to do with Lucy?" Gajeel asked and Natsu let out a frustrated sigh.

"I don't know I just...guys I'm not gonna sit here and spill out all my feelings. That's not what we do. Something changed alright? I want to see where it goes. Sex doesn't feel that great unless there's something there, and all I know is that I think about her...and not just when I'm pissed off or horny." Natsu growled and Gray raised his brows while Gajeel just looked at the pink haired man for a moment before they both shrugged.

"Alright, fair enough." Gajeel said simply and Natsu relaxed a bit, thankful that the interrogation was over.

"Okay, so we have five minutes before we need to leave and meet the guys at the arena." Gray said and Natsu looked at the clock on the oven.

"What are we doing again?" He asked, the unusual late time he had woken up and the unusual morning sex had all but cleared his brain of anything and everything. Gajeel rolled his eyes.

"First, we're all going to eat somewhere. Then we're going bowling, going to paintball and THEN we're going to the hockey game." Gray said and Natsu perked up in excitement.

"Fucking lit dude, are we taking the same car?" He asked and Gray shrugged.

"It would be easier, Gajeel can we take your truck?" Gray said and Gajeel nodded.

"Alright...let me go grab my stuff and shoes." Natsu said, heading into his room. He ran a hand through his hair, letting out a sigh as he got into his room. It smelled like sex. He shook his head, trying not to think of the activities he had participated in this morning, not wanting to get aroused. He pulled on his shirt and jacket, grabbing a pair of combat boots and throwing them on as well. He shoved a change of clothes into a drawstring bag along with another pair of shoes for when they went to paintball. He sprayed his bed with febreze and then the air s well so it wouldn't be rank when he got back and right before he left the room his phone buzzed in his hand. He glanced down, smiling to himself when he read what was on the screen.

'Had fun last night...or technically this morning xD, heard the headmaster is on a rampage!' ~Luce. He chuckled to himself. Today would be a good day.

~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~?~

Natsu knelt down next to the barricade of the blue team. His teammates that were still alive around him. Jellal, Gray and Gajeel, while Bacchus was waiting in the blue team's start room, having gotten himself taken out.

"Alright, so the white team is completely eliminated, I've seen half of the black team fall, but I didn't see who took them out." Natsu said and Gray leaned forward, the only one that wasn't wearing torso gear, yet amazingly he still had on his goggles.

"I think it was the red team...I actually haven't seen them much...just a few glimpses. I think the black team also lost someone to friendly fire on accident." He said and I nodded.

"Alright, so we should finish the black team by drawing them out, then we ambush them. The noise will bring out the red team and we'll take them too." Natsu said and Jellal shook his head.

"If the read team hears us then they'll come in expecting us. I say we take the black team down and we all scatter about twenty yards. Then we all move in at once and come down on them, try to get sniper shots." Jellal said and the rest of the group nodded. They were all in blue paintball gear, having blue guns and blue paintballs. Goggles or fancy glasses were on their eyes. Gray met expectations by having lost his shirt but thankfully he had managed to keep his pants on and the glasses. Natsu was wearing a bandana, his precious scarf in the changing room because he wouldn't dare risk getting paint on it.

"Alright let's head out to the black team's base." He said and they all stood up, exiting their base. This was a favored place in Magnolia to play paintball, artificial trees, bushes and shrubs all coated in the team's colors. Red in the red's territory, blue in the blue's and so on. It was easier to blend in that way.

They fanned out, moving stealthily around the trees and other cover. Blue bled into black and Natsu focused, trying to keep from becoming disoriented. Movement caught Natsu's eye and he froze, causing his team mates to freeze as well. He slowly let out a grin, seeing the a bush shake. He pulled his gun up, closing one eye he took aim. He pulled the trigger, holding it down. Five paintballs shot from his gun, soaring forward. He heard a screech as his amo made contact with the target, a guy in black gear stood up, five splatters of blue on his side, brown hair a huge mess. A second later Gray let out a yelp, four black paint balls exploding on his bare chest.

"Attack!" Natsu yelled, whipping around as the remnants of the black team came out of nowhere. Natsu ducked, kneeling on one knee as he took aim, occasionally ducking or shifting when he was aimed at. Jellal fired a last shot, "killing" the last member of the black team.

"I'll see you guys in the waiting room." Gray moped, rubbing at the forming welts on his chest.

"What kinda roses you want at your funeral?" Natsu snickered and Gray shot him a nasty glare.

"I'll beat your ass later flame breath." He snapped and Natsu only snickered more, watching Gray start to walk away. He brought his gun up, firing a few balls at Gray. Gray yelped and shot Natsu a heated glare.

"You're gonna pay for that later probably." Gajeel muttered when Gray was gone and Natsu laughed.

"Whatever, amo check though." Natsu said and he, Gajeel and Jellal all checked their waists and guns.

"I've got about half of mine left, no more grenades." Jellal reported.

"I've got a third left, no grenades." Gajeel said and Natsu looked down at his.

"I've got a grenade left, maybe like a fourth of paintballs left." Natsu said and Jellal scratched his neck.

"That's kind of low." He commented and the pinkette shrugged.

"I'm not worried, now come on. Let's go slaughter the red team." Natsu said, the blue team starting to move toward the red territory. They moved silently and quietly, quickly entering into the red area. Gajeel stopped, signalling the others to as well.

"Alright..so the plan is to take out the blue faster we take them out, the faster we can get food and meet up with the team before the game starts." A female voice said and the three guys looked at each other with smirks.

"Yeah, and I'm sure Lucy would love to go for a ride on that hot piece of ass known as-" another voice started but a blonde head shot up and Natsu's mouth dropped when he saw Lucy.

"Shhh! No more out of you!" She hissed and the brunette who had spoke cackled, the guys looked at each other in shock, recognizing Cana.

"Or you could take me for a ride again." She giggled and this time Lucy smirked, sending her a wink.

"Only on Friday's babe." She said and Natsu's mouth slammed shut, feeling his pants tighten. Gajeel gave Natsu a look, raising his eyebrows.

"Focus you two! Or else no one is getting laid for the next week and I'll make sure you're taken out due to friendly fire." The red head suddenly snapped and a shiver of fear ran through the girls crouching down, even affecting Natsu and the guys. Natsu sucked in a soft breath before nodding to the guys, the three of them splitting up to surround the group.

"You're right. The faster we take out the blue team, the faster we get to the game and go clubbing, so you can get laid." Lucy said and Erza rolled her eyes.

"Well that sounds like a great plan, I vote for everyone getting laid." Natsu said, stepping out from behind the tree. The girls all shot up, Lucy's eyes widening in shock.

"If you hold still we can end this game right now." He said with a huge smirk, Gajeel and Jellal taking aim as well.

"Scatter." Erza whispered and within milliseconds the entire red team burst into a full on sprint. Natsu let out a gasp of surprise, quickly pulling the trigger. He hit a girl with blue hair that he recognized as the girl who was one of the top swimmers on the school. She squealed and he turned his attention elsewhere. Gajeel and Jellal had shot Cana, and even the mighty Erza. He frowned, looking around.

"Where's Lucy?" He asked and the guys frowned.

"I thought you had her?" Jellal asked and Natsu turned around. Suddenly red exploded all over Gajeels chest, and a second later all over Jellal's chest. A moment later Lucy appeared out of nowhere, aiming directly at Natsu's chest. His eyes widened and she smirked, pulling the trigger. He quickly jumped, tucking and rolling and Gajeel let out another grunt as he was hit a few more times. Natsu quickly stood up, realizing Lucy had a look of horror on her face. His eyes slowly dropped down to her gun and understood. She was out of amo.

"Run Lucy!" Erza suddenly shouted and and before he could bring his gun up she had turned and ran, quickly putting distance between them. He chuckled, something primal in his head taking over as he saw her retreating. If she was going to run, he would chase.

He adjusted his grip on his gun and a second later he was in pursuit, knowing he'd have to work to catch up. They were both on track, and they went back and forth for the top. He knew he had to catch her before she got the base or he'd lose. A thrill of excitement ran through him, adrenalyn making him stumble just a bit but allowing him to pick up the pace.

"You're mine!" He yelled out and Lucy glanced back, letting out a squeak when she realized he was gaining on her. He brought his gun up, struggling to keep it steady as he shot a few balls. They exploded on trees and Lucy glanced back again, this time allowing him to catch a glimpse of something else in her face. She was just as excited as he was. And if he didn't know any better… he'd say she was taunting him. She made a sharp turn suddenly and Natsu slid, touching a hand down to the ground so he didn't fall before he followed after her again, she was nearing her base but she was too late. Natsu jumped, tackling the blonde to the ground as she let out a shriek. There were a few seconds of struggle before Natsu rolled her over, sitting on her hips. She panted hard, looking at him as he aimed his gun at her vested chest.

"Sorry Luce, but you know I like to win," he said with a smirk and Lucy sighed.

"I understand Natsu...I just hope you can forgive me," she said and he frowned, tilting his head slightly as she leaned up quickly and kissed him. He tensed in surprise for a moment before he melted into the kiss, forgetting where he was for a moment, and that every game was recorded and broadcasted in the waiting rooms of the team members who had been taken out and were waiting for the game to finish. He kissed her back, leaning into her and letting the high feeling rush through him.

He let out a shaky breath when she pulled away, his eyes still closed.

"Why would you be sorry for that?" he asked breathlessly and she let out a soft hum.

"Because it was a distraction," she said and his eyes shot open. She had a huge. Smug, smirk on her lips, a glimmer of mischief in her eyes.

"Shit-" Natsu started but cut himself off with a startled yelp, falling off of Lucy as he felt and heard the impact of paintballs hitting him from behind, and a second later from the front as well. What was more embarrassing, was that the ones from the front were shot from his own gun that Lucy had picked up. He looked up as the shooting stopped, his jaw open as he saw Lucy standing with his gun, and Lucy's friend from ice skating, Levy standing with her own gun. "Wha...how?" he asked dumbly and Lucy grinned.

"You guys miscounted, and we knew it was you and your friends from the very beginning. Everything you saw was staged," Levy said and Lucy snorted.

"Next time, let us have the blue team, we'll have mercy with our shots then," Lucy said and Natsu just stared, his mouth still hanging open as the girls gave each other a smirk, Lucy throwing him a wink before they turned, walking away victorious.

_1_1

Natsu rubbed his jaw from where Gray had punched him, saying it was payback for shooting him in the back. He was currently waiting for Lucy and her friends to walk out so he could say something to her. The others were by Gajeel's truck and Jellal's car waiting for him, Gajeel and Bacchus smoking, Jellal and Gray vaping. He wanted to make fun of them and talk about what a douche it made them look like, but he was guilty of having his own pen. The three of them had all made a deal to stop smoking, and vaping was how they were doing it. This way, they could get the action of putting something to their lips like with cigarettes, get their nicotine fix without the smoke and tar building up in their lungs, and despite the memes, they had more than once had a competition on who could do cooler things with the vapor. That and Natsu was rather fond of how it made him look like a dragon when he breathed it out through his nose.

He brought the pen from his pocket, putting it to his lips he took a quick drag, holding it for a moment and enjoying the taste of pancakes and syrup. He let it filter from his nose slowly before pushing most of it out with a fast exhale as he saw Lucy and her friends walk out, all laughing. He quickly pocketed the pen, jogging towards them.

"Yo Lucy!" He called and she paused, her friends stopping as well. He slowed to a stop in front of her and she stepped forward, tilting her head slightly.

"Hey, Natsu." She said, as if she wasn't sure how to address him in a public setting without lashing out at him.

"I didn't know you played paintball," Natsu said, instantly mentally kicking himself for sounding so lame. She grinned up at him, a glint in her eyes.

"I bet you didn't think you'd get your ass handed to you either," she said and Natsu's jaw dropped, his hand going to his chest.

"Ouch, I was a victim of foul play, okay?" he said and she snorted.

"Yeah okay, whatever you have to say to make yourself feel better," she responded. Natsu licked his lips, trying to get over how pretty she was when she was joking.

"Where are you guys heading to next?" He asked, suddenly feeling nosy. Lucy bit her lip, glancing back at the group of girls that were waiting outside of Cana's van, watching carefully.

"We're headed to the civic center. Levy and I ran into a couple of the teams players during a practice when our school rink was getting work done. They told us to bring a few friends and hang out before one of their games so…" She trailed off and Natsu's eye twitched in jealousy. He had been trying to meet the Magnolia Mages for years.

"Oh...that's super cool! We're actually going to go to the game as well," Natsu said and she raised her brows.

"Yeah? Maybe I'll see you there," she said and he smirked, leaning a little closer to her.

"In that case, I'll just make sure I can be seen," he said and before Lucy could reply there was a car horn blaring. Both of them looked towards Gajeel's truck, seeing the brute of a man looking over at them.

"Yo lizard dick! We've got places to be!" Gajeel yelled and Natsu curled his lip.

"Gimme a damn second you rusty cock ring!" Natsu spat back, earning an eyeroll. He looked back at Lucy, laughing softly at her raised brow. "I should probably go-uh text me?" He asked and Lucy let out a soft laugh.

"If I remember-"

"CUNT LICKER WE'RE LOSING TIME AND I'M THIRSTY!" Cana yelled and this time it was Lucy who turned, firing back without hesitation.

"THIRSTY FOR DICK MAYBE! AND IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE!" Lucy yelled and Natsu had to take a step back in surprise, putting his hand over his heart. Wait, was Lucy into girls? Cana was silent for a moment before a faint 'fair enough' was heard. Lucy turned back to him, smirking.

"You think guys are the only ones who have nic-names for each other?" she asked and Natsu fumbled for an excuse. She let out a giggle, shaking her head. "I'll talk to you later, bye Natsu," she said, giving him a wave before she turned around and jogged over to the van. Cheers and catcalls rose from the girls as Lucy climbed in, already being pulled into different conversations. Natsu let out a breath, shaking his head in disbelief. How much did he not know about this girl, how far exactly had they grown apart? He didn't know, but he was determined to fix it.
