"Good morning you three!" Mira greeted the Valdis siblings that walked into the Guild Hall. "Morning Hun!" Hayden greeted back. Mira leaned over the counter to kiss his cheek when he sat down. Esme ran up the stairs to the S-Class level and ran to Master Makarov's office without saying anything.
On the other hand, Kage very slowly wobbled over the bar, sat next to Hayden, and immediately layed his head down and fell asleep on the bar table. Mira giggle as she reached over and ran her fingers through his soft black and blonde hair. "Lucy was right! He does look cute when he's sleeping! He looks so calm!" She stated. Hayden smiled at his adorable girlfriend when Esme suddenly game running back down the stairs. "I GOT PERMISSION!!!" SHE screamed which made Kage practically leap off of his bar stool. "Permission for what?" Mira asked her as Esme skipped over to them and slammed a handful of tickets on the counter. "I got permission to steal a handful of Guild Member to go stay at a Hot Springs!" She yelled. Hayden and Mira looked at her with excitement while Kage just yawned and put his hand back down.
"Who do you plan to take?" Hayden asked. "Well, you, Kage, Mira, Lucy, Laxus, Gajeel, Lily-"
"A Hot Springs trip? I think that is a great idea. We could use a break." Erza stated, cutting her off.
"Erza to I guess." Esme muttered as she continued the list of people.
"A trip to the Hot Springs?! That sounds like fun!" Levy exclaim as she hopped up.
"U-um...Levy too." Esme stuttered out.
"YOU'RE GOING TO A HOT SPRINGS?!" Natsu shouted with Happy floating behind him.
"Alright! You guys can come too! BUT NO MORE PEOPLE!" Esme yelled.
"You're going to a Hot Springs?" Someone asked. They all turn to see Romeo standing there with a smile on his face. "Bring me back a souvenir, alright?" Esme suddenly glomped the small boy who blushed greatly. "Of course my adorable child! I shall bring you many gifts from the hot spring!" She announced as she hugged Romeo close.
They all met up outside the Guild and took a trip towards the hot spring. Once there, Esme handed out the tickets so they could all enter. The boys and the girls, of course, got separate rooms. While the boys got ready to go into the spring, everyone but Hayden watched as Kage took his jacket and put it in a cubby hole that was on the wall. Kage turned and saw everyone staring at him and glared. "What?" He asked.
"It's just....I'm so use to seeing you with your jacket collar covering half your face." Laxus explained.
"Yah! I didn't know you had sharp teeth!" Happy said, floating over.
"They're called K-9s. And it's not that big of a deal." Kage muttered. Natsu eyed the shorter boy for a bit. "You know, now that i see you without a jacket on, you have a very feminine figure." He stated. Kage's face lit up in a blush as he quickly shot a glare at him. "I DO NOT!" He shouted in embarrassment. Natsu then started laughing, along with Happy, and saying that Kage looked like a girl. Kage quickly left the room in his towel and out into the spring, thinking of different ways to torture the Fire Dragon Slayer.
The girls, on the other hand, were already relaxing in the hot spring. "Hey Esme." Levy called out. "Yah?"
"I heard that you and Laxus are a couple now~" She teased with smirk. Esme blushed and sunk a bit further down into the spring. "U-um...yah! My brother's got us together." She stuttered out. "Speaking of your brothers!" Lucy started and leaned towards Mira. "I heard Mirajane is dating Hayden~"
Mira giggled and nodded. "Yes I am. He's very sweet."
"He IS pretty cute too." Levy said.
"Now, now. The term you should use for Hayden is 'handsome'." Erza stated, leaned against the wall of the spring. "Erza's right! The term 'cute' should be used for Kage! His sleeping face is absolutely adorable!" Lucy said as she squealed a bit. "Kage does have a rather cute sleeping face. But his personality can be a bit scary when he's awake." Mira said with a laugh.
