Tepid: A Gratza Fic

Chapter Three

It has been a full on week since Natsu, Erza, and Gray had their little "discussion" back in Fairy Hills. Now, they are about to head to another mission with Lucy. Lucy herself was excited about the mission that they were going to a photoshoot with Sorcerer Weekly because of the amount of money that would be given: nine million Jewel. The reason why was still unknown as the flier stated that all details will be explained on set.

"Hmm..... I'm not so sure about this, Lucy" came Natsu when they arrived at the setting.

"Cash. Is. King! Nine million Jewel here I come!" Lucy yells before she rushes inside Sorcerer Weekly territory. The other three follow suit and they are greeted by a guy by the name of Mike. He was tall, tanned, and had dirty blonde hair.

"You guys must be the ones from Fairy Tail, yes?" Mike asks. He looks over all of the mages and then he turns towards the actual setting. "Follow me please" he said as he leads them down a long hallway. As they walk through, they see other individuals taking casual pictures first, then each room they passed, the intimacy of the poses were more...... Explicit.

"W-what are they doing?!" Erza asked when she saw two individuals fondling each other above clothes. Then, the other three look in the same direction; Natsu looked over and blushed the color of Erza's hair, Lucy hid her face behind her hands, and Gray looked a bit hesitant about the shoot.

"Lucy.... What did you sign us up for?" Gray whispers harshly into her ear. Lucy seems just as confused before they reach their destination. It was a simple room, nothing too fancy. Just a white backdrop and bright lights.

"This seems kinda bland, Mike." Erza deadpans. Lucy sweat dropped and pulled Erza close.

"Don't mess this up for me.." Lucy warns. She looks back at Mike and asks, "So, what kind of pictures are we doing?" Mike looks at the four of them and his eyes go narrow. He stands there for a sec before he replies, "group pictures".

"Okay, doesn't sound that bad", Natsu says.

"However," Mike continues, "these group pictures are not the types that will be going into the usual issues of sorcerer weekly. These pictures are...... Sexual." He smirked. Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Lucy all stiffened at that statement.

Silence......... The information hasn't hit them completely but when it did, Mike was standing with a smug ass Grin on his face.

"WHAT?!" The four mages all yelled in unison
