Natsu Dragneel

"I wonder what Natsu would think about this tattoo." You were talking to yourself while looking at underboob (tattoo-journal.com/30-tempting-underboob-tattoos/ ) tattoos. You had one tattoo and it was an infinity symbol with two small hearts on one of the lines. You wanted a big one and you figured an underboob would be perfect since you can keep it hidden. It was your body but you just wanted Natsu's opinion on some of them. You looked over your laptop screen at Natsu who was working on tattooing a lady's butt cheek. You weren't going to lie and say you didn't feel a little jealous, nor hide the fact that you had a crush on him. You're an adult, but you're not going to embarrass yourself and tell him possibly ruining a perfectly good friendship. You were sitting in his office in the back waiting for him to finish so you can show him. You left the tab open deciding to work on a comic until you felt tap on your shoulder a while later.

"Someone seems to be preoccupied." You looked up at a grinning Natsu, his eyes focused on your face.

"Finally! I wanted to show you some underboob tattoos I wanted to do." You glanced up at him, the expression on his face unreadable as he focused on the screen as you pointed out the ones you like. "I need someone with talent since it's a tender area."

"I'll do it." You looked at him but his eyes were focused on the screen "You're right, you need someone with talent and since it's a bit personal too I'm the perfect guy." He looked at you this time with a smirk his eyes dancing with hope? Maybe.

"Sounds like a plan." His tense figure seemed to relax as he got up and stretched his limbs

"Great, whenever you're ready I'll do it, I will always make time for you." You smiled at him missing the way he lingered in the doorway to watch you.

Gray Fullbuster

Gray still got on your nerves but somewhere between the playful bantering and lunch outings you guys went on either together or with other colleagues you grew to adore him. You knew it wasn't professional to have a love interest in a co-worker but it's life, and you cannot control your feelings. You were not about to tell him though because even though you're confident in yourself you were not about to be embarrassed if he didn't like you and ruin the friendship you guys have. Then forget about work, the workplace will be super awkward.

"Y/N fucking L/N." you swiveled your head over to Gray who was scowling at you in annoyance

"What do you want icicle?" He never ceased to get on your nerves.

"When the boss comes and leaves I'm helping you with the paperwork and then we can go to that diner you love and you can bitch about her all you want." You blinked giving a lopsided grin all traces of irritability leaving your body as he visibly relaxed and returned the grin with his own. You were about to say some more but that's when your boss made an appearance. as expected she slammed down a bunch of files and looked between the two of you before tsking and saying something to Gray you couldn't here before bee-lining to her office. You felt the veins in your neck about to pop but you breathed doing slight meditation

'I swear as soon as I find another job with better pay I'm leaving this fucking place.' You completely missed the looks Gray kept throwing at you as you submerged yourself in the work praying this day will end so you can spend some time with him.

Sting Eucliffe
You were in some deep shit considering you have a crush on your patient turned friend Sting. You didn't see it coming at first you believed you were just doing your job something you loved doing, helping those in need but somehow his case turned into something different. Maybe it was his shy but sweet blue eyes, soft blonde hair but those were just physical appealing attributes, it was his personality that topped the cake. It seemed like at one time he was confident and loved a good challenge but due to circumstances and traumas it changed. He still has his job, and he still loves a challenge but he's not as confident, he's reserved and shy speaking to very few and have a close knit of friends. However him constantly coming over just to see you and talk to you and bring you food whenever he can was much appreciated. He didn't need your therapy anymore but you were happy that he still came even if your relationship didn't change.

"Y/N?" You jumped in your seat looking up from your book that you've been staring at for the past ten minutes to see Sting staring at you in concern. "You were spaced out for a few there are you okay?" You blushed slightly scratching the end of your nose in embarrassment

"I'm okay I was just lost in my thoughts." He sat down then and reached across the desk placing his hands gently over your closed ones

"Is there anything I can help you with? You never seem to get the help you deserve." You looked at him in his eyes who were intensely staring into yours. You looked away but was brought back to his when he squeezed your hands and he had a gentle smile. "There's this really good chicken place that sells the best chicken stir fry ever. It'll be my treat." It was a bribery to get you to talk to him in a different setting and who were you to deny this?

"I'm feeling hungry." You smiled at him and he returned it with a grin pulling you up while grabbing your purse for you.

Rogue Cheney

Leave it to you to gain a crush on a stranger turned friend because that's what Rogue was. He was a stranger who wanted to sit in a crowded diner place and created small talk with you hitting it off from there and literally your feelings went uphill. Were you a 100 percent that he returned your feelings in that way? No you weren't but you were a 1000 percent positive that he loved you as a friend so you're not risking it. This time Rogue called you and told you to meet him at the park near the grassy field and that's where you waited for him to show up. Maybe he wanted a change in scenery? It was appreciated. You were playing a game when you looked up at your name being called. It was Rogue and it looked like he had a picnic basket with him. You walked up to him greeting him before tilting your head towards the basket

"I just wanted to surprise you with a picnic, something different you know? It's not too much right?" He was nervous and it was the cutest thing you've ever seen. You chuckled at him as he looked away with a cough trying to hide the pink tint to his cheeks.

"It's not too much, it's really sweet of you thank you." You have no idea what compelled you to do this but you pecked his cheek taking the blanket out his other hand and setting it down as he stood stumped. When you looked back up at him he broke out of his stupor and set out the food and sat down indicating you to sit as well. It was the best thing just the two of you and it made it that much harder to hide your feelings from him.

Gajeel Redfox

"Dammit Gajeel." You felt the smirk without having to look at him, you were trying to design a tattoo for one of your returning clients. They wanted praying hands wrapped in a rosary and you were making one hand feminine and the other hand masculine and the rosary fit perfectly and be symmetric on both hands but Gajeel was poking at you. You really liked him you did, more than you were supposed to but your feelings can't be helped but he was making you mess up. He was poking your sides and messing with your hair and you really didn't want to mess this up. When his hand got to your neck you playfully bit his fingers looking up to see him giving you a look you couldn't decipher so you just ignored it. "You can bother me after love, just let me finish this okay?" His eyes widen slightly before he surprisingly nodded and left you be. You turned back to your work finding the whole thing odd but it didn't stop the butterflies in your stomach. That's when it hit you what you said tinting your cheeks red, did you really call him love? It felt natural to say and it came out without you really thinking about it. All well can't be taken back. Once you finished the design you took a picture and sent it to your client setting your phone back in your drawer. You stood up stretching your limbs walking over to where Gajeel was at his desk.

"Heyo you iron rod, what is it now that you want to do?" You leaned against not noticing the way he subtly got closer to you.

"Just wanted to talk and go and grab some lunch with you." He wasn't looking at you but you poked his cheek making him look up at you with a light frown.

"Come on then I'm starving." You gave him a slight hug leaning your cheek against him before moving turning around missing the look of longing in his face.

Laxus Dreyer

That wasn't the last time that your captain has invited you and colleagues out for drinks on a Friday, it became a habit honestly and it also became a custom for you and the Captain to sit in the middle with your colleagues on the outside. It seemed like that they unintentionally created a protective circle around the two of you even though everyone has no doubt that you couldn't handle yourself especially your captain. You were finally off of work and you were making your way towards your car but decided to make a detour to the Chinese place in need of something hot and greasy with a nice cold soda to wash it all down. You walked in loving the little chime coming from the bell. You made your way to the counter and ordered your food taking your time to look around the little place and that's when you saw him, your captain. He had his back turned but you knew his bulky and imposing figure with that electrifying blonde hair anywhere. His aurora demanded respect and attention whenever he entered a room and it was something you loved about him inflating your crush you had on him. It was highly unprofessional and can cause you to lose your job and you wanted to avoid that at all costs, but you can still yearn for him. Once your food was ready you took it and decided to sit with him at the table. It's like he felt a presence turning around and glancing at you before giving a smirk and indicating with his head for you to sit down.

"I figured you would have been home by now." You gave him a fond smile questioning why he wasn't home since he had no need to stay today

"I can say the same for you." You teased him lightly and he just stared at his food before shaking his head huffing out a laugh. You guys sat in a comforting atmosphere making small talk and you absolutely loved the intimacy in just being in his presence alone.

Jellal Fernandes

You couldn't help but notice that you and Jellal got oddly close and spent most of your Friday afternoons well into the evening together and you couldn't find a reason in your heart to deny your feelings for him. You never heard him mention a girlfriend or wife or even children so that was a good sign, he wasn't gay either so at least you weren't pining after someone who didn't even like females. You loved the color of his hair and you knew it was dyed but it suit him well and the reddish tribal tattoo he had on the right side of his face under his eye made him look alluring to you. Maybe you were crazy since all the other teachers talk about him so much but you loved how different he was. Your infatuation grows larger by the day and you're not sure how long you can go hiding your feelings before you explode and expose yourself.

"Hey there Y/N" You looked up at Jellal smiling down at you and you scooted over on the couch in the teacher's lounge to allow him to sit down to eat his food. You guys idly chatted not noticing when the others left leaving you two to your own business.

"You have any plans this week?" You were hoping that his plans had you in them but you weren't bold enough to tell him that

"In fact I do." You felt your heart twinge a bit at those words "I was wondering if you would like to go out for dinner on Friday? There's this really nice restaurant that gives off a cozy vibe that I think you would love. Of course you can decline if I'm being too forward." You blinked not believing your ears. Was he inadvertently asking you on a date? You weren't going to dwell on it

"That sounds amazing I would love to go." He smiled largely as his shoulders visibly relaxed and you felt yourself chuckling lightly at him wondering what exactly is going to happen on Friday.
