In Lock and Key

Late

Nobody's POV
  Gray was about to put some more food in his mouth when he paused. "Oh shit" he said the others looked at him confused.

"What happened gray?" Lucy asked cocking an eyebrow.

"Natsu, how many nights have we slept we together." Gray said. Natsu face reddened. Gray realized he said, "no I mean how many nights have we been cuffed."

"Oh well 2 I think" Natsu said.

"Natsu today is when we were supposed to meet up with the blacksmith at the museum to get these cuffs off." Gray said.

Natsu's eyes widened then he blinked, "crap.. Erza may we cancel the mission. "

Erza and Lucy sweat-dropped. "Geez guys . You would think you'd remember when you were supposed the get handcuffs off connecting you to your rival."

Erza modded, "Maybe this experience made them more than rivals." Erza smirked.

Both boys face lit up, "w-what I don't k-know whatyourtalkingabout " Natsu stumbled.

"Chill she was just messing with you unless something actually happened." Lucy said her eyes sparkling.

"Well how about the weather eh hahaha" Gray said awkwardly.

"Changing the subject huh. I will let go for now but you will have to tell me sooner or later" Erza said.

"I choose later" Natsu said. The rest of the team laughed at that.

"I will meet up with the client and tell him we are canceling. I will meet you at the train station." Erza said standing up.

Natsu turned green, " ugggh trains" Lucy got up and walked towards the exit. Gray followed Lucy dragging a complaining Natsu.

"All right so salamander isn't following through  with the mission. We will find another way to get him." I said.  I turned to my partner.

"Yess then we can go through with our operation," he said.

Nobody's POV
*back to the team*
Natsu, Gray, and Lucy made it to the train stationed. A few minutes later Erza arrived with her huge luggage.

"Let's go" She said walking in the train. After everyone was seated Natsu had already started flipping out.

"I don't know why i keep getting on trains" he said he hand over his mouth like he was going to puke.

"Well Erza might have killed you if you didn't" gray chuckled. Natsu sent him a playful glare.

"Shut up ice princess" Natsu snorted.

"Quiet boys I wanna get some rest" Erza said closing her eyes and falling quickly to sleep.  Lucy closed her eyes too but wasn't asleep.

"You can't call me princess when you look like your the one who needs saving right now." Gray smirked.

Natsu wanted to say something, but was stopped by a wave of a nauseated feeling. Gray only laughed before he brought Natsu head into his lap.

"Gray!" Natsu whisper-yelled trying not to wake Erza.  "W-what are you doing?!" Natsu said.

"I'm trying to comfort you idiot, now be quiet" he said. Lucy peeked open one eye wanting see what was happening. She immediately gasped.

Gray froze(pun intended) and looked up. There situation was hard to miss he had his fingers running through Natsu's head which was on his lap. Not to mention Natsu smelling his coat trying to get grays minty scent.

Lucy's mouth was wide open darting her eyes between Gray and Natsu. "W-when-".

"Ssshhhh" Gray said. "Don't tell Anyone about this ok" he said.

"A-are you guys dating?" Lucy asked.  Gray shrugged.

"I don't know honestly. I mean we kissed so-" he was cut off by Lucy's squealing. Then Erza eyes shot open.

"Shit" Gray said.

"What's going on" Erza said.

Lucy turned it Erza, "Gray and Natsu kissed!"
Erza turned to the boys and gasped.

"I knew it" She said.

"Thanks for telling the world" Gray said sarcastically.

"Sorry I just thought you wouldn't mind Erza knowing" she smiled sheepishly. The rain can ego stop.

Natsu has been listening, but didn't want to get yo from grays lap where he didn't feel like throwing up.

"Please don't tell anyone" Gray said. Erza nodded.

She then had a weird glint in her eye, "soo how long??"

Natsu got up from Gray  feeling the train stop. "Well we aren't really dating" Natsu said blushing. "But things started the night we got cuffed I guess."

The girls awed and stared at the couple. The boys shared a knowing look band hurried off the train.

"Too the museum!"
