SO SORRY that I did not have my weekly update last Sunday! Last week It was insane with work and Thanksgiving so it was hard for me to write. Also I needed a break because I was starting to feel a little down about the FanFic but that funk has dissipated!

Without further ado! Onto the chapter!

~~~~~ Chapter 13 ~~~~~~~

Happy stopped what he was doing to look over at the girls. Charle looks so calm and collected next to everyone else, he thought dreamily as he noticed that Lucy appeared to be trying to push Levy to talk while Meredy and Juvia were giggling and laughed. Mirajane was talking with Wendy and Charle and Cana was trying to grab Lucy's chest again. They can be so weird.

"Looks like Levy is being pressured next," he said aloud to Lily knowing that Lucy was being filled in on all the love that had emerged in the guild recently.

Lily nodded stoically, "I agree Happy. It seems that Levy is the next victim in their little game. She will be fine."

Gajeel grabbed his partner into a tight squeeze, it seemed that the copious amounts of liquor he had consumed in a bet with Natsu and Gray were finally getting to him. "Of course she will be! That's our shrimp over there. Nothing is going to beat her!"

"Gajeel...too..tight..." Lily knew just how much affection his partner had for him and one of these days Levy or Gajeel were going to squeeze the life out of him. I can't imagine their kids...he shivered slightly but kept the smile that the image brought upon his face. He loved Gajeel and was happy that he had finally made a move towards Levy.

"I wasn't aware that you and Levy were dating Gajeel?" Jellal mentioned coming over to walk to the trio. At the sound of what they were talking about Natsu and Gray decided to stop fighting and sat next to the iron dragon slayer. Natsu grabbed a turkey leg and took a huge chunk out of it while Gray wondered where the hell he had thrown his pants.

"Oh, you didn't know Jellal?" Gray looked confused, "I'm surprised Erza never mentioned it considering she was there when it happened."

Jellal appeared pensive. "Well now that you mention it... I think she had tried to tell me something about a week ago when we went on our last mission but-" he blushed remembering just exactly how they had gotten sidetracked.

"Hmm..." Laxus said before grabbing the mage by the shoulder, "Looks like you guys were doing something naughty otherwise you wouldn't be turning that lovely shade of red."

"Oh really? What were you guys doing?" Natsu said around his turkey leg obliviously until he saw Laxus messing with Jellal.

Oh dammit! Screw it, it's not like I need my shirt anyway, "He was probably expressing how much he loved Erza through the use of his mouth."

Jellal frowned over at a laughing Gray not knowing whether he should put him in his place or just take the teasing.

"Just as crude as ever I see."

"Lyon! I was wondering when you were going to make your appearance." He grinned over at his fellow ice mage, "You're usually never too far from Meredy either."

Lyon blushed but knew better than to say anything about it since Gray was right, "At least I have no problem expressing healthy emotions...unlike you when it comes to Juvia."
