"So, do you think I'm not capable of walking home by myself?" Rin asked defensively.

Turning to look at her, her colleague gave a smug smile. "It's not that at all." Rain bounced off his face as he continued to answer. "We live in the same block of apartments." Loke returned his line of sight to where he was going and Rin tried to laugh off her stupidity.

D'you breathe the name of your saviour in your hour of need,
and taste the blame if the flavour should remind you of greed?

She wanted him. Damn right, she did. Who wouldn't? He had the looks, a decent sense of humour, and was charming in a perverted sort of way. He was just too damn good to resist. Nevertheless, some things just are just too good to be true. It would never work. Especially not for her - They worked together for Christ's sake. Plus, she was sceptical about his relationship with Lucy. She couldn't very well go right ahead and snatch a guild member's man. Could she...

Of implication, insinuation and ill will, 'til you cannot lie still,
in all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come closing in for a kill…

Peering up at the man beside her as they walked in time, verdant irises scanned the fitted suit clinging to the body she would bet money was as hot as she'd imagined. As if drawn in by an unseen force, she raised her hand up towards his face without a word. Wiping away the droplets dripping from his hair, the pair came to a pause down an empty side-street.

…Come feed the rain
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust

Silently, the vibrant strand slipped from between her fingers and her hand landed on his icy skin. He rotated his head to face her upon the warmth of her touch. Grasping her actions, she tried to remove her hand, only for him to take hold of it. Seconds turned into minutes as they held each other's gaze, both of them forgetting their surroundings.

…It's all a game, avoiding failure, when true colours will bleed
All in the name of misbehaviour and the things we don't need

Before she had any idea of what was going on, a grip on her waist made her stumble back into the wall. Loke's whole mood had changed, but by the way his hair was hanging over his eyes, she couldn't tell what he was thinking. She could feel his heartbeat against her chest as he inched in, his heated breath tickled her cheek. A strong hand snaked further around the girl's waist as he brought the other up towards her face. With care, the taller male rested his index finger under her chin, tilting her head back to make her look up.

Peering up with a smirk, the older male craned his neck towards her. "I knew you couldn't resist forever."

I lust for after no disaster can touch, touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall, where enough is not the same it was before…

Pulling away, she quirked her brow. "Oh, really?" Flicking the waist length crimson locks off her face, Rin gave a mocking laugh. "Now I know you were expecting it, I'll just make you work harder." Nudging past, she began speed walking off to avoid exchanging anymore unwanted words. She had managed to get at least twelve feet ahead of him before he fully registered her words. Gawking at her back with an eyebrow raised, he questioned what just happened.

…Come feed the rain...
'cause I'm thirsty for your love dancing underneath the skies of lust.

Snapping out of his thoughts, he began to catch up with the fickle woman. The rain was still pouring and the rolling of thunder could be heard catching up with them. Not another word was spoken on their way home but it wasn't long before they reached one of the standard apartment blocks. Entering the wooden doors, Rin headed straight for the stairs without a second thought.

Reaching for her key, she had a weird feeling. A feeling of uneasiness. Turning her head to inspect what was making her feel off, she was met by the very man she'd walked back with. "What the Hell? I thought you went to your place?" She asked, staring at the soggy figure standing in the shadows.

"You're not going to invite me in?"

Rin thought about it for a second before turning the latch and pushing her front door open with her foot. "If you want to come in so badly..." She extended her arm, gesturing for him to go inside.

Once inside the quaint apartment, Rin halted her guest. "Well, don't we look, all, 'I-looked-like-a-maltreated-puppy-that needs-some-love?" She mused at the state of the man, only for him to push his hair off his face and give a wink.

"I'm still fabulous."

Snorting a laugh, the redhead gestured with her finger for him to hand over his coat. He had a bit of a fight with the garment but sure enough, with a final shrug the coat dropped into his hands. "’Might as well make yourself at home." She invited.

Loke sat down and let out a sigh of relief at the hospitality as his host wandered off around the corner and out of sight. Trying not to move too much in the uncomfortable sloshing clothes, the male inconspicuously peeked around the personal space.

Rin had returned to the sitting room and was giving the older male a concerned look. "Do you want me to dry that before you go?" She pointed at the black dress shirt stuck to him. Shaking his head was the only reply he gave. "Why?" Her tone suddenly turned sharp, until a playful thought took over. "Aw, you're not embarrassed are you?" She quizzed him.

Trying to prove a point, he began unbuttoning the article. Grinning at his interrogator, the guest moved at a painfully slow pace. Once he had removed yet another piece of clothing, he chucked it to the woman looking smug.

"Good boy." She patronised as patted him on the head before walking into the kitchen again. "Want a beer?" She asked and banging commenced in the other room.

"Sure." His eyes began to wander over the setting. How the Hell had he not noticed the before? Across from him, hanging over the table lamp, a neon yellow pair of skimpy panties. Chocolate irises snapped from the sight only to land on another piece of racy lingerie poking out from under the sofa cushion.

Walking up behind her guest silently, attempted to hand over the bottle of booze. Slightly leaning over him, her eyes wandered down to his belt buckle. Sensing the presence behind him, Loke jumped to explain. His panic startled the hostess and in her flailing, she dropped the bottle onto his crotch.

"Fuuu-" Seeped from the man's tense lips.

The knocking at the door suddenly diverted Rin's attention. Just then, everything turned into mayhem. Halfway to the door, there was a bang on the window facing the couch Loke was sat on. She dashed to the door, opened it and then ran back across the space. "Come in!" She shouted before ripping the curtains back and staring at the weirdo hanging around on the third floor.

"Hello?" She could hear a pair of voices, one louder than the other coming from the foyer. Not allowing her to get a word in edge ways, the voices took turns in bombarding anyone who would listen with questions.

Rin turned to see who had arrived, only to be greeted by Erza and Gray standing in the doorway, the latter laughing at the breathless Loke crumpled into a heap on the sofa. Her fellow redhead turned her gaze to the homeowner and raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "I need to borrow some shampoo." She told as if it was a normal thing to burst into someone's house and ask for their toiletries.

Rin pointed to her bathroom as she face-palmed. Glancing back to the window, the girl eyed the guest that had gone about calling around in an unconventional way. With Gray teasing the incapacitated Loke some yards away, and Erza raiding her smellies, she wondered whether letting Natsu in would be one of her better ideas. Giving in to the repetitive banging on the glass pane, the homeowner unlocked the barrier.

Jumping inside and dripping everywhere, the Dragon Slayer pouted as he headed straight for her kitchen. "Why'd you wait so long to let me in?"

"Why the fuck did you use the window? How many times do I have to tell you I'm not Ffion; Don't climb through my windows." Ignoring the chaos going on around her, Rin slammed the window shut. "And take your scarf and vest off; you're dripping all over my floor!" It was kind of pointless to argue about the trudged in rain by this time as Loke destroyed her couch with his soaked pants and looked like he wet himself from the pain. Still, she couldn't ha-

The redhead paused mid-turn. "Not you, Gray. Put your pants back on!" Just when Rin thought things couldn't get any worse, the click of the front door proved her wrong. Eyes wide, the homeowner was sent on the defensive.

Kicking off her shoes, yet another guest turned the corner from the foyer. Violet eyes scanned the outrageous scene that seemed all too familiar as her stoic expression remained concrete on her pale features. Opening her mouth to say something as Gray dashed past her in the nude while Natsu chased him with a leg of ham, the ashen girl tilted her head and made a u-turn towards the bathroom after thinking twice about intervening in that disaster waiting to happen.

Opening the door, she was met by the guild's female S-Class relaxing in a bubble bath as if Hell hadn't broke loose just past the wall. Taking a towel off the rack, the blonde left the redhead to it and made back for the main space.

A crash, some panting, and a very familiar yell could be heard from the living room. Rushing to see what the commotion was, Rin slipped on the mage 'drip' and slid across the tiled floor. "What's wrong? What's going on?" She panicked from the floor, concerned about her furnishings.

"How come I wasn't invited to this party?" The blonde asked as she saw the homeowner drowning slowly in a pool of despair.

Crawling over rapidly on her knees, Rin gripped her friend around the waist in desperation. "F-Ffion..." Peering up with tears in her eyes and a snot bubble poking from her nose, the redhead whimpered incoherently.

Trying not to think about her friend's fluids smearing over the slate coloured bodysuit, Ffion patted Rin on the head with concern. "What happened?"

Rin scrambled to her feet. Grabbing her friend by the shoulder, she dragged her into the kitchen and shut the door. "I got cock-blocked."

Just like Ffion was a wacko friend with no limits to how strange she could be, Rin would do anything to preserve what little normal relationships she had. Not like having three half-naked men loitering about her living room could be considered abnormal by any means.

"What are you doing here?" The taller of the pair interrogated.

Flapping her hand with a creepy expression, the blonde deadpan. "Well, I was perving but you just spoiled that…. I'mma go have another look." The older girl told a bit too enthusiastically as she reached for the door.

"Get a grip! We have to work with them." The redhead pointed out seriously.

"Oh~ but I would, if I only had the chance. Get a good grip of-" She was cut off by her taller friend slamming a hand over her mouth, knowing the words that would follow were not the kind of details she was currently keen on hearing.

Eying the shorter female, Rin removed her hand. "What did you want?" She asked cautiously, knowing it would be some absurd reason.

"I came to see if you wanted to come 'round for a few drinks." Finally, someone who didn't want anything from her. "By the way, what's up with Loke?" The blonde jutted her thumb over her shoulder.

Sighing, Rin flopped sideways into the wall. "I dropped a bottle on his crotch." The way her eyes darted was enough to make Ffion understand.

"Why would you do that?" Her friend asked monotonously.

"I was merely handing him a drink..." Rin tried to sound as innocent and non-perverted as possible as she explained, despite knowing her friend would make it dirty regardless. "And he shifted and made me jump. Therefore I dropped the bottle." Rin tried to justify the mutilation of her so-very-hot-half-naked-co-worker.

The blonde hummed for a second and then asked a surprisingly normal question. "Has he not asked why you were behind him?"

"His voice in on vacation at the moment, it's taking all his strength just to breathe." The redhead forced a laugh.

Quirking her brow, the blonde hummed again in thought. "Leave it to me."

Eyes glimmering with sparkles, the redhead shook the slightly shorter woman by the shoulders. "You're the best friend a person could wi-" The homeowner blinked at the blonde that had somehow escaped her grasp and was now out in the main room. "You can't take Gray like that. He's naked."

Taking the pair of idiots by their ears, Ffion dragged them towards the front door. "That's the point." The older female gave a cheesy wink and proceeded to lug the intruders down the hallway. "Oh, Ezra's in your bath. Jus' sayin'." Rin didn't even know what to say to that.

Watching the trio disappear, Rin breathed a sigh of relief. The homeowner shut the door and was about to drop her guard when she was met by the S-Class female. "Oh, jeeze."  She flinched at the woman standing so close.

"I'll be leaving now." Ezra side-stepped around the taller woman and left without another word.

Shuffling back into the sitting room, Rin was met by her initial guest. Sat where he'd been all along, Loke leaned his head back to see his hostess and a grin formed on his lips. "I was wondering when they'd leave."

"You're okay?"

"I think the ordeal you put my through counts as enough effort."

The redhead turned her nose up as she folded her arms under her bust. "It's your fault. You made me jump."

"You were checking me out, weren't you?" He asked and the female almost spluttered. "I'll make it easier for you..." He reached down past the backrest and then threw something to the girl.

Being smacked by heavy fabric, Rin quickly put the pieces together. Looking up from the damp slacks in her hands, the redhead froze. Completely relieved of all of his clothes, the guest stood casually with one hand on his toned hip. "H-hu..." She tried to say something but all that came out was a low slur.

Advancing for his target, Loke smirked at the sight of the woman's trying to take in his glorious physique. "Are you waiting for something?" He played and Rin's eyes shot up to meet his.

"Th..the c-curtains..." She pointed past him without looking away.

Tilting her chin up, the guest brought his face within a centimetre of hers. "Forget the curtains."
