"NATSU DRAGNEEL! YOU WAKE UP THIS SECOND!"

The two sleeping friends suddenly woke up really surprised thinking there is some emergency after hearing that call.

"What fire?! Where!? Lucy!" Natsu shouted as he tried to scram from the blanket surrounding him.

Lucy started to brush off her sleep as she stared at the person standing to Natsu's side. She then taps her best friend to calm him down, "Natsu, its just Erza...Erza!"

Lucy's eyes grew big as she suddenly sat up straight and stared scared at the red haired teen. Natsu didn't get what the blonde said so he stared at her with inquisitive look.

"What did you say?...OWWWW!" Natsu suddenly shouted in pain as a stinging feeling he felt in his ears.

"SHE SAID ERZA! BAKA!" Erza leaned down shouting at Natsu's ear as she tweaked his ear.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!le-le-let go!" Natsu protested before being dragged out of bed, "ouch!"

"Erza! Stop!" Lucy claimed as she tried reaching for her friend to stop her but then she's too late for the two was already standing next to the bed.

"YOU BASTARD! WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING NEXT TO LUCY?!" Erza shouted as still held tightly Natsu's ear

"Quite shouting! I really have a sensitive ear you know!ow!ow!owwwwww!"

Erza pulled his ear really hard before releasing his ear and once she did she pushed him a bit and turned herself.

"Alright, sorry...BUT SERIOUSLY?! WHY?!"

"E-Erza...uh t-t-tone down your voice.." Lucy finally stood next to Erza as she handed some cold water to her. After that she walked towards the pinkette and smiled at him, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks...did..did I do some..." Natsu suddenly asked quizzically as he stepped closer to the blondes ear

"No, you didn't do any stupid stuff" Lucy then smiled at him wide but then shivered when Erza suddenly called him, "Dragneel, I'm still talking to you."

"Uh right!" Natsu then turns while shivering in fear

"Lucy, can you leave us two first. Why don't you take a bath..." Erza then hands a towel to Lucy before slightly pushing her in, "but-but-"

Erza then closed the door as she pushed Lucy inside the bathroom. Once done, she turned herself and walked towards Natsu with her arms crossed under her chest.

"Look I didn't do anything to Lucy. I swear!" Natsu reasoned out as he stared the red haired beauty

"I know, I just wanted to talk to you about yourself." Erza then stood up straight before him

"Me? Wh-"

"And Lucy...Natsu I am serious about killing you if you ever hurt my friend"

"And I'm serious too about asking Lucy out. I know I maybe foolish at times-"

Erza then corrects him, "no, always."

"Fine, always. But I have no plans of hurting her. If I have to beat up myself for making her cry, I'll do so." Natsu then stood up straight with a serious face

"It will be an honor to beat you up until pulp." Erza then smiled warmly as she taps his shoulder making him quiver at the touch.

"Uh..no, I won't make it to that point. But wait, do you mean of making her cry...as in..."

"Of course baka! I meant making her heartbroken!" Erza bursts out as she puts her hands to her hips.

"Okay. Uh, that's it?" Natsu asked
