"Okay everyone! Time for breakfast."

"How the hell is she so energetic this early in the morning?" Gajeel complained.

"Beats me, but let's go get this food!" Natsu yelled, just as energetic as Emi.

Makarov entered the room and settled everyone. All except for Natsu who was running towards the fridge looking for the food. Laxus then sleepily walked into the room, grabbing the fire wizard by the back of his scarf and yanking him away from the fridge.

"It's way too early for your bullshit."

"Oh thank god," Gray said in relief, "it's about time someone shut him up."

"You wanna go, Frosty?!"

"What did you just call me?!"

Lucy shushed them and discretely pointed towards something. Everyone's gaze shifted towards where Lucy was pointing. There stood Emi quietly making breakfast and smiling to herself. Laxus was standing over her, watching her cook from over her head. They seemed really close in proximity, as Laxus's chest was mostly touching Emi's back. Emi started humming and Laxus let out a yawn. Everyone stood in shock, mouths agape. Wakaba started talking. Everyone told him to not speak, but he continued anyway with a smirk on his face.

"So you two seem pretty close, yes?"

Laxus lazily looked over towards the group, not making any movement to say that he was taken back by what he said, and let out a small "hm" as a response. Emi turned her head to Wakaba, making Laxus's head shift from off the top of hers, and simply gave a big smile towards the group. Emi then looked at the group and said that she was making pancakes for them, and she asked what kind of pancakes they would like.

"Chocolate chip!"

"Banana!"

"Blueberry!"

"GIVE ME THAT SPICY PANCAKE!"

Everyone looked towards Natsu who had a fire in his eyes. They all sweatdropped, which caused Natsu to push with even more enthusiasm. Fire engulfed his fists as he placed one leg on the table and did a power stance. Before anyone could say anything, Natsu was on the floor after Laxus brought his fist on Natsu's head.

"You are absolutely not bringing your fire into my house."

Everyone eventually settled down again, and Emi had finished making the pancakes with Laxus taking away the hot sauce whenever she unknowingly reached for it. Once finished, Emi put pancakes on plates for everyone. Emi looked towards Lucy, Levy, Charle and Panther Lily and gave them their banana pancakes. Gajeel and Macao asked for chocolate chips and Gray, Erza, Wendy and Mira took their blueberry pancakes. Emi looked towards the rest of the group, asking if they were sure they wanted just plain pancakes, and all of them agreed.

Once Emi was done handing out plates, she looked towards Laxus and placed a different plate in front of him.

"And cinnamon pancakes for Laxus!"

Emi sat down with her apple pancakes and started eating.

"THIS SPICY PANCAKE IS AWESOME!"

Everyone started eating their pancakes and light conversation ensued.

"They are not staying longer than this afternoon."

"Why do you care so much? You're leaving for a job in an hour!"

"You're going to be the death of me."

"Good. So don't let anything else kill you on a job before I do."
