"Why is it always you?"
"Shut up. You can't deny my obvious excellent taste in Fashion, Fernandes," Natsu scowled, tightening the crimson tie around my neck. I winced as the fabric pressed around the soft flesh of my neck.
"Doesn't red clash with my blue hair?"
"Are you really saying that, Jellal?" Lucy slapped my shoulder angrily, "When your girlfriend is literally the Scarlet Star in your miserable blue life."
"Erza isn't my girlfriend!" I replied hotly, hoping that the ruby-haired woman wasn't around to hear. I didn't know what she would do if she did. The aftermaths of my actions had only begun to sink in when Natsu pulled on my tuxedo.
I had lost my lips to Erza Scarlet.
Did I regret it? Not even a wink.
Was I acting like a flustered sixth-grader after they lost their first kiss? Possibly.
"The keyword you're missing is 'yet', Blueberry," Natsu spun around and tossed me a skimpy piece of fabric, which looked like it had originally been made to be a choker for someone with an extremely thick neck.
"Put it under your trousers. And this as well," Lucy passed me a knife. I hiked my eyebrow questionably at her, and she flushed.
"I- I'm just helping Natsu!"
"Sure, sure." I eyed the framework, "What is this meant to be, again?"
"It's a thigh holster," Natsu slapped on a pair of dress-shoes, pouting, "It's usually Erza and Mira's thing, but... You don't really seem like you could work a dagger out in the public."
"Who said?!" I barked but slipped on the contraption anyway. It fit snugly around my thigh, maybe a little too tight, "Couldn't I put it over my pants?"
"No."
"Fine."
Lucy suddenly began to attack my hair like an overprotective Mother before her son's graduation day, or something. I winced, trying to grab her wrist to make her stop, but she just flicked me in return.
After that, Natsu fully dressed me before shoving me in front of the mirror. I sucked in a breathe, grinning back at my reflection.
"Woah- I look good."
"Say thank you to Daddy, Fernandes!" Natsu joked. I rolled my eyes, meeting Lucy's gaze in the mirror. Natsu wasn't showing up, but it wasn't a surprise for me anymore.
"Y' know what's the best part about a Vampire's reflection not showing up?" Natsu asked, elbowing Lucy. She snorted, shrugging. I didn't turn around, ruffling my azure hair with a hand.
"They can do this without idiotic Blueberries noticing-"
"EW, NO, GUYS! GET A ROOM!" I shrieked, darting away from the mirror as Natsu kissed Lucy's neck, shaking with laughter.
