The kitchen is a giant mess as various food and bowls are scattered about the table top and counters. Spilled flour, shattered eggs and various other ingredients covered the counter, table and everyone within the kitchen. The culprit is naturally Erza who stirred the bowl in her hand with all her strength.
"Gently, stir it gently." Levy advised.
"The recipe said to stir with love." Erza countered.
The amount of determination she has as she stirs, while it might be filled with love it also is filled with monstrous strength. That latter part being a hinder of her effort to fill it with her love as the bowl and whisk in her hand not with standing her brute strength as they broke.
Crack! Ka-boom!
Egg, flour and everything being mixed filled the kitchen as well coating everyone and everything in it. When the bowl broke, Erza arm broke the table, spilling the flour which rose into the air.
"Armor idiot!" Mira shouted as she waved her hand.
"Accident?" Felix asked.
"This is the fifth time. We were just unlucky to get caught up this time." Cana laughed.
Felix nodded as he looked at his white clothes that suddenly matched everyone else's outfit. His clothes weren't that fancy as he couldn't afford them nor did he see a point in buying expensive ones. If he is going to be taking on missions, who knows where they might lead him, so cheap clothes that get ruined are better than expensive ones.
"Erza, why don't we take over for the next one." Levy asked gently.
"I think I got it this time." Erza rejected it.
"You might, but we won't know. That was the last of the ingredients we brought." Cana replied.
"Mira, can I borrow your bathroom? It's a bit uncomfortable being covered in flour." Levy asked softly.
"Why don't we all just go get cleaned up." Mirajane suggested. "We then can go buy another batch of ingredients."
"Works for me. I will succeed next time." Erza clenched her fist with fire in her eyes.
"Umm, how about Levy and I handle it." Cana suggested.
It became clear that Cana is a bit afraid they will have another repeat just now if they let her try it. They should have long since begun baking the cake at this point, not stuck at mixing it into cake batter.
Felix watched as Erza became a bit downcast as Mirajane and Levy agreed outvoting her. Then he followed them to the bathroom where they all began to undress as the bathtub began to fill up.
"Felix, why are you here?" Levy who entered realized Felix first.
Levy moved her arms and covered herself, not that there is much to cover. Still, she became really embarrassed at being seen naked. While Erza just shrugged and took a seat next to the bathtub without much care. Her boldness shocked Cana and Mirajane, since she didn't cover herself besides a towel on her legs.
"To clean myself?" Felix tilted his head. "Should I have waited?"
In his first life and world, he was actually incredibly body shy, but his life in the training camp changed that. There he often bathed or cleaned among other boys and girls.
"Yes!" Cana, Mirajane and Levy nodded.
"But I am already here." Felix said.
Felix looked at them wondering why they were making such a big fuss. It is just taking a bath after all and not doing something suspicious. He did note that beside Levy, that Mirajane, Erza and Cana had begun to develop. Their chests were a bit plump with Mira leading with about B or C cup size with Erza and Cana following up. Their butts were also beginning to fill out a bit as gone were the boney flat and more squishy round rears.
"Felix, why don't you wash my back." Erza asked.
Felix moved and knelt behind Erza as he saw a bucket and towel. Baths in this world were different from his previous one. So, picking up the towel, he dipped it into the bucket and began to wipe Erza back.
"Do you see his back?" he heard Cana gasp.
"Yeah." Mira and Levy nodded.
While most of his scars healed and would vanish in time as his body improved itself. Felix's back and body still carried quite a few scars from his time in the training camp. In time, the only scars that will remain are his mental ones.
After wiping down Erza, who like him didn't care, got up and sat in the bath tub in full display of her body. Her towel sat on her head as she leaned back in the tub. Before her eyes drifted over to the others.
"What are you waiting for? The water will become cold at this rate." She barked.
"Hmph!" Mirajane snorted and didn't want to be outdone.
Following Erza's lead, Mirajane sat before Felix. Once more repeating, Felix began to wash Mirajane back, sides and arms. Besides seeing her red ears and flush cheeks, it was hard to tell she was actually quite shy about this. Clearly her drive not to be outdone by Erza overrides her shyness.
Then, much like Erza, Mirajane got up and got into the tub and relaxed across from Erza. Following up was Cana and finally Levy. As Cana sat before Erza and Levy before Mirajane. Felix wondered where he could get in before spotting a spot behind Mirajane.
She had moved forward and left a spot for him, so after washing himself with a towel, he silently climbed in behind her. Where she pressed up against him with her back leaning on his chest as two of the three others giggled.
That is when he noticed both Erza and Cana had pushed Mirajane back with their feet. Still, Felix didn't mind as he put his arms around both Mirajane and Levy as he began to relax in the tub with them. His chin on Mirajane shoulder as his eyes looked at both culprits.
"Why are you looking at us?" Cana began to blush.
"Because you're across from me." Felix replied.
They couldn't possibly want him to look up at the ceiling do they. That would be uncomfortable since he couldn't lean too far back, there simply wasn't enough space to do so. Unless they all face one direction and all look at the ceiling.
"Oh." Cana smirked. "It's not because of these?"
Cana began to playfully lift her budding chest as she tried to put on a bold face. Her face flushed though and made the others laugh.
"Should it be?" Felix asked.
His eyes soon began to scan across the four sets before him. He would be lying if he said he didn't like boobs, but their current ages countered it.
"Don't boys like these things?" Cana asked unsure.
"Does liking have to be used in such a negative way?" Felix asked. "I like Mirajane but I also like you, Erza, Levy? Is that a negative?"
Felix actually quite liked quite a few guild members, but some were too rowdy or a bit too prideful and overestimated themselves. Many like to think their abilities were much stronger than reality. Maybe it is an effect of brawling with strong members and knocking them down, but that's just because the strong members were playing and not serious.
"Umm, not really." Cana shut down a bit.
Thanks to this, even if all the girls blushed getting out, they weren't as shy as they were getting in as they all enjoyed the bath in the end. It also put Felix's house warming gift to good use.
