Couldn't get this out of my head so I just had to write it down. Lalu is my OTP. I just love them.

Enjoy ;)

Steam rose from the bath as collective sighs from the female Fairy Tail wizards are heard.

"This feels great!" a blonde, named Lucy, says contentedly. "Ahh."

"Now that we have this, I won't feel like going out on jobs anymore!" a drunk looking brunette exclaims as she picks up her cup of booze from the tray in front of her.

"Cana-san! It's a bit too early to be drunk, don't you think?" Lucy adresses the brunette, who dismisses what she said sloppily.

"We've been flooded with requests ever since the GMG, weren't we?" a short-haired Strauss, Lisanna, says as she soaps herself. She turns to look at her older sister, Mirajane, who then replies, "Sheesh, I'm so busy. It makes me dizzy." as she continues shampooing her hair.

"We need to take some time off once in a while before our body gives out." a bluenette spoke and flicked her wrist as she sunk herself in the water.

"You're absolutely right, Levy-chan."

The girls laughed and continued the conversation in a different topic.

Meanwhile, just below the female bath was the males', who could hear every bit of the conversation above them.

"I guess Natsu and Gray have matured a bit. Seeing as they actually went on a job together." Max said and smiled, feeling proud of the growing younger mages.

"Even though Happy was with them." Warren commented.

"Happy and Natsu-nii are always together. It's expected." young Romeo joined in.

The men shared their own thoughts among themselves but was interjected by screaming, "It's because he's a man!"

"What does that have to do with it?!" the men sweatdropped as they watched Elfman screaming his favorite phrase.

A blonde in a corner twitched, obviously bothered by the noise around him. "How can a man relax in a bath as noisy as this?" he grunted.

"Laxus-sama, please allow me to wash your back!" Fried was overly energetic in his request and nearly jumped in joy when Laxus gave a positive reply.

Bixlow sweatdropped along with the other guys, who swore they could see the rune mage blushing.

"Ne, Lushee." a drunk voice said above them. They all stopped and looked up. (As if that helps.) "Let me ask you shomthing~"

"Ehh, what is it, Cana-san? Lucy replied.

"Is it true that Natsu fondled your breasts?" Cana snickered as she asked this. The men below visibly turned red and sunk lower into the water, embarassed that they had to hear this conversation. But they all knew how golden an opportunity like this was, and they didn't want to back out of it.

Fried continued scrubbing Laxus' back.

Laxus clicked his tongue. 'Goddamn perverts.' he thought but he couldn't deny the burning curiousity in him. 'I never thought Natsu had it in him.'

Up above, Lucy screamed in shock and waved her hands furiously. "I-I-It wasn't like you think! H-He just-"

"He just what, Lucy?" Cana interrupted, she sobered up as she was having fun teasing a blushing blonde. "You can't lie to me. I know everything." She winked. "How about we re-enact the scene, eh?"

Cana swam closer to the blonde, wiggling her fingers in a creepy way. Lucy tried to swim closer to the edge but was caught. "Kyaa! Cana, noo!" She screamed and laughed.

The men sunk lower 'til their eyes were only visible.

Cana let go of Lucy as she noticed the latter couldn't breathe. She laughed and the other girls joined in. Except a certain bluenette who was starting to gather dark clouds.

"Speaking of which, Lucy. "Mirajane said. "I didn't know you and Natsu were dating. How could you not tell me?" the barmaid pouted and heaven seemed to open.

"It's nothing like that! Geez!" Lucy threw a tantrum. She could have stomped her foot for added effect, except she was in the water. "I never thought of him like that! He's like a brother to me- a baby one- who always needs someone to chaperon him. And we're just partners!" Lucy folded her arms.

Lisanna laughed. " I think you should give up on them, Mira-nee. Natsu is an idiot and clueless at romance." Everyone agreed. Everyone, including the men below. (who never stopped listening in)

"Ehh. You just might be saying that for yourself, Lisanna." Mirajane said, obviously teasing her sister. The latter blushed and denied it furiously, making everyone laugh. Mirajane returned her attention to Lucy. "Anyway, have you no plans to date, Lucy? You really could use romance in your life."

"I agree, Lu-chan. It might help in your novel." Levy chirped, who waved away her dark clouds.

"I never thought about dating." the lie smoothly rolled off the blonde's lips. "The guild has so much going on. It would be hard to balance everything."

Cana put down her cup and glanced at Lucy. She pondered over something and resumed her drinking.

"You're making excuses~"

Lucy gulped at the ever-observant Cana. She sighed. Letting these girls know the truth would disrupt her peace. But she thought it unfair to keep lying. However, that doesn't mean she'll blurt it out. She decided to ride along and find a better time to spill.

"Are there any guys who interest you? Natsu seems like-"

"Miraaa!" Lucy pouted.

"Hai hai. Then, how about Gray? Do you remember what Gemini said a... while... back...?"

Bloodthirst was practically spelt out in the air and the girls sweatdropped

"G-Gray-sama is Juvia's only..." they hear wood cracking and turned to see Juvia at the entrance gripping the door frame, with a face ready to spill someone else's blood.

The boys silently prayed for Gray's safety and soul.

"M-Moving on, Mira-nee." Lisanna laughed nervously.

"A-Ah. Of course. Loke? He always saves you. And he blatantly shows affection for you."

"Loke obviously flirts with Lu-chan as he would any other girl."

"Eh.. then Gajeel."

"Taken." A bluenette blushed.

"Jellal?"

"I don't wanna die."

"One of the Trimen?"

"They're just Loke times three."

"Lyon?"

"He already likes Juvia." The water mage gave a shout of protest but was ignored.

"Sting? Rogue?"

"They'd rather date their senpais. And I can't shake of the impression of them being younger than me."

"Aha! So you'd rather have a matured man than a younger one eh?" Cana gulped down her booze.

The boys below realized they were all older than Lucy, except Romeo of course. They gulped.

Lucy didn't answer but the girls took her silence as a 'yes'. Meanwhile, Juvia settled herself across her.

"Who else... Bixlow?"

"I doubt he'd want to date someone who beat him twice."

Below, said man was blushed and felt his pride stepped on. The other men snickered.

"Nab-san? Max-san? Warren-san? Jet-san?" Juvia joined in.

"..."

Awkward silence ensued on both baths. Bixlow snickered at the boys mentioned, who completely submerged themselves in shame.

"Riiiight..." Mirajane sweatdropped. " There are some left. There's... Fried?"

Said man stopped and looked up so quickly, his neck would have snapped. Laxus turned in his seat and smirked at the reaction.

"Fried..." Lucy started. The boys widened their eyes and strained their ears. Fried had cold sweat. "...looks like he'd propose to Laxus on the spot on any given time."

"..."

The boys struggled to hold their laughs but found difficulty in doing so. The girls, however, openly laughed at Lucy's statement. Elfman muttered something about it not being manly at all. The rune mage embarassingly melted into a puddle and Bixlow resisted playing with his soul, which floated overhead.

Laxus also blushed slightly and looked away.

"You're right." Mirajane sobered up. "Well, I'm running out of suitable boys at the moment so this will be the last suggestion." Lucy sweatdropped. She hadn't realized that the girls were serious about suggesing the male wizards to her.

"Have you ever imagined being with Laxus, Lucy?"

The men waited. Fried pulled his soul back and strained his hearing. Laxus had his back to them to conceal that he, too, was waiting for the Celestial mage's reply.

.

One second.

.

Two seconds.

.

Three seconds.

.

The men sighed. They concluded that Lucy just might grow her hair gray alo-

"NO WAY, LU-CHAN?!" Feminine gasps went around. They obviously couldn't contain their shock.

The men's thoughts hung halfway into the air and all their eyes had become wide as saucers. They all snapped their head toward the lightning mage, who had his back facing them. His body was tense and appeared bothered about the sudden confession.

"Ah..uh... I'm not that surprised, right Warren?" Max let out a very nervous laugh and signalled everyone to ride along.

"Uhh... yeah...?" *hit* "I mean, yeah! Laxus has always been popular." Warren let out an equally nervous laugh.

*collective sweatdrops*

Bixlow stood up and approached the muscled blonde, who was still unmoving. " Don't worry about it, Laxus." he patted the blonde's shoulder and moved to face him. "After all, we can just... prete-Laxus?!"

Bixlow felt his own soul leaving him. The great Laxus Dreyar, S-Class mage, grandson of master of Fairy Tail, blushing?!

"Was I not man enough to be mentioned?" Elfman muttered.

Okay, I originally wanted this as a one shot. But then I remembered that I don't know how to write abrupt stuff.

I swear.

So I guess I'll make this a short story or something. I have to sort out some events now hehehe.

BTW: I just love filler episodes. Sure they aren't as well thought out but atleast you get to see the personalities of the other characters. I find it cute that Laxus actually thought of someone wanting to be with him on episode50-something (sorry) *heart heart*

Let me know your thoughts.

See ya.
