Naptime

"Take a picture but be quiet about it! Quick Mira I can see Natsu waking up!" whispered Lisanna frantically. The two of them stood next to the bed peering down at the sleeping boys. "So cute! I was playing matchmaker and I didn't even know it! Look at them all snuggled together... Perfection!"

"When you called me in here I was expecting something strange but this? This is so beyond strange. I don't think I've ever seen Natsu hug anyone like that other than Happy... and Happy doesn't count." Mirajane's phone camera clicked a few times while she spoke. She liked to imagine herself as a professional photographer so each picture had to have the perfect composition, lighting, and nuance.

"What are you doing on his desk? Mira get down from there you'll break your neck... or worse wake them up!" Lisanna huffed in frustration as she saw her sister balanced on one foot mere inches away from Gray and Natsu's faces.

"Don't wanna wake up... Gimme five more minutes Gramps.... Promise I'll get up in five more minutes..." Natsu mumbled between snores. Lisanna jumped towards the door ready to ditch Mirajane in a moment before laughing at Natsu.

"We are SO lucky that Natsu is such a heavy sleeper. I can't believe Gray is still asleep too... Look at him! So peaceful... Like one of those fallen trees you find in a forest. It's not really moving but you've got to assume it's alive or it ruins the magic of the moment." Lisanna's eyes drifted out the window to some imaginary land. In her fantasies she ran through this perfect forest with some faceless boy. Thankfully that faceless boy had very defined muscles that looked even better since he was shirtless... and pantsless... Naked. He was naked.

"Were you seriously going to ditch me just now?! And I call you my good sibling... I feel so betrayed!" Mirajane whispered angrily towards Lisanna, who was still off in her own little world with a little drool running down her chin.

"Imagine how I feel, Gramps... Betrayed... How am I supposed to... Beauty sleep... When you.. wakin' up me 'n Happy..." Natsu mumbled again, pulling Gray's sleeping body closer to his own.

"Why haven't we been recording this whole thing? Mira give me your phone! Oh my God why does mine have to be charging downstairs right when I need it most!" Lisanna made a grab for Mirajane's phone but she pulled away too fast.

"No way! Last time I let you hold my phone I found it three weeks later washed up on the beach. The beach, Lisanna. Besides I suddenly decided that I want to get into scrapbooking and if these boys ever wind up dating I need to include this moment. I need the perfect picture!" Mirajane's hands were clenched into fists in front of her showing her extreme determination.

"Get into scrapbooking? Mira you give me a "Lisanna's Year" scrapbook whenever it's my birthday. Don't you make them for everyone else in this house too? That's not a new hobby that's an obsession..." Lisanna absent-mindedly sat on the edge of the bed as she snarked her older sister.

Lisanna had the unfortunate tendency to bounce on any bed she was sitting on. Now this isn't the gentle bounce of a bored teenager. No, this is the bounce of a toddler who doesn't know they're in an adult body. Natsu woke up very quickly as he and Gray began getting some air time.

"WHAT THE HELL LISANNA CAN YOU NOT JUMP ON MY BED FOR ONCE, JESUS!" Natsu shouted. He tried to sit up but one of his arms wouldn't budge. When he looked down and saw it wrapped underneath Gray and held in the boy's hands a blush crept over his face.

"Sorry... But you really shouldn't shout you could wake up Gray. Besides this is his bed since it's in his room. Or is there something you're not telling me???" Lisanna's face looked dangerously close to the one that Happy would make when he was planning mischief.

"Lis shut it. Th-there's nothing going on..." Natsu stuttered but he had no choice but to lay back down next to Gray. It wasn't that Natsu minded snuggling up next to the cute ice-make mage, it was that he wasn't too sure how Gray would feel if he knew they were basically on display to Mirajane and Lisanna right now.
