FF.net

The male beside her had eyes the shade of the night sky on the new moon; cold and empty. His hand was resting comfortably on her hip, but she’d felt his fingers twitch each time she walked by. The she Lucy was referring to was not herself, but a smaller girl on the other side of the room. The girl with the flowing, soft blonde hair that fell in waves with ribbons adorning both sides of her head in perfect symmetry. Her gown was a shade of pink that reminded Lucy distinctly of cherry blossoms, and though it was elegant she could tell the fabric was lightweight and the design specifically made to appear as though it matched the overall feel of the party. This made sense considering Mavis was cunning, and tactful. She needed to be quick on the floor, but she also needed to blend in. She was her father’s advisor, and an outstanding one if this party wasn’t a testament to her hard work.

The manor they lived in was all shimmering gold, and sparkling wine. The chandeliers were perfectly lit, and every bulb had been replaced in light of tonight’s event. Once again, her husband’s hand twitched as the sprite of a girl passed. Lucy didn’t much care on the transgressions of her husband. They’d made an agreement after all. That didn’t stop her from glowering at him. He was an idiot, and it was like he wanted to get caught. In truth, he probably did. Then he could stop the charade and be with the woman he actually loved. However, that wouldn’t do well for Lucy. Her father would just find another man to marry her to and she couldn’t have that. She may have wished it in the beginning, but too much was at stake now. Her father wouldn’t care if the male beside her was having an affair, but to bring public shame to the family would be a disgrace.

“Careful, darling.” She placed emphasis on the pet name, and once more her smile full of lies graced her face. “You’ll get us caught.” She mumbled below her breath to keep their conversation from being overheard.

“The only reason I agreed to your deal is my brother. Otherwise, I would have left with her long ago.” He muttered back to her. His tone having shifted from ‘overly excitable husband’ to ‘don’t get cocky’ in a matter of seconds. Two could play at this game.

“I know that. I don’t care. Don’t. Get. Caught.” Each word was said through gritted teeth.

“Oh my! Look at the happy couple!” it was her aunt Supetto for the third time that evening. “You look marvelous, my dear!”

Her cheeks turned a shade of rosy pink as she knelt to her aunt’s height, and gently gripped her hands. “As do you, auntie.” The two separated, and she watched her aunt wander back out to the floor. She’d certainly be back.

“You say I’ll get us caught. His face has been the epitome of ‘don’t touch her’ all night.” Shots fired. He was right though, Natsu had been throwing a silent tantrum since they’d descended the stairs arm in arm, with smiles of a happy couple. She didn’t want this anymore than he did. Zeref’s hand returned to her hip and pulled her just an inch closer. They’d come up with a system in their closeness. This marriage was one of necessity and convenience. Neither wanted this, but still. Zeref couldn’t shame the Dragneel name, and neither could she to the Heartfilia Konzern. Both would be inevitable as the affairs they both engaged in continued. And yet the pair of them felt addicted to their other half.

“Surely, we could separate for a moment.” It was a suggestion that Zeref posed nearly every political event. He couldn’t stand to be there like some exhibit for very long, and truth be told Lucy couldn’t stand to have someone other than him touching her.

“Surely, we could.” She echoed, and the pair separated. Both gave each other their signature smiles, and that lingering glance that they’d practiced and become sufficient at. It was like when she had played pretend as a child. Her performances could give a professional entertainer a run for their money. She crept down a small hallway that normally led towards the restroom, but instead of entering the ladies’ room she ventured to the left. The door shut softly behind her, and there she waited.

It wouldn’t be long now, she hoped. And she was right. She heard his stomping before he even entered the room, but once he did she felt like her skin was on fire. Her father was insistent on marrying into a family of dragons for the status, and the fame but she’d always wondered what his thought process was on that. Did he think they’d be controlled? Impossible.

“Natsu, could you please turn down the furnace. It’s rather hot.” She teased. Though, from the look on his face it was clear he was past the ‘joking to ease tension’ phase. Dragons were peculiar that way. They got insanely territorial over what they felt was theirs. It was how she’d first noticed Zeref’s feelings for Mavis, and it was how she’d discovered Natsu’s for her. She had been drawn to the mysterious air of the elder Dragneel, but immediately felt he was too tense, and stuffy. Natsu had been like a breath of fresh air in the spring. Zeref felt like a cloudy day with a one hundred percent chance of rain and high humidity. Yet, Mavis loved him with everything she had. To each their own, she supposed. Her own was right in front of her.

Natsu wasn’t about to just let Lucy slide with a joke like he normally did. He’d watched them practice flirting, and getting the timing of their own lies together the entire night. That hadn’t bothered him, much, but the one thing he’d forgotten in his entire time with Lucy was that their parents had expectations. His father expected Lucy to bear the next heir of the Dragneel name, and of course Lucy’s father expected the same. He’d heard them practice what to say to their respective father’s, but both had become silent. Every single one of them knew that the argument wouldn’t hold out.

Zeref’s eyes had been the color of blood red, and Lucy couldn’t even bother to face him. She couldn’t bear to tell him the truth, and he knew that. He knew that one day she would have to bear the child of his brother. It was either that, or she get sold to some other high ranking socialite. Zeref could easily sway their father to choose Mavis, but he hadn’t out of respect for Natsu. Natsu appreciated it in ways his brother would never truly understand, but Zeref was at his breaking point. It wouldn’t be long before he called it quits, and Lucy knew that too.

They continued to refuse each other in this small room. Natsu never moving towards her, and Lucy staring into her hands like they were the most interesting thing in the world. He couldn’t stand it any longer. The tension was so thick it could be cut with a knife. He moved towards her, and the movement startled Lucy into looking up.

She could barely see through blurred vision as the water pooled, threatening to spill over. His hand touched her cheek, and she could feel the weathered skin, and each scar across the tips of his fingers and his palm. A tear slid when her eyes closed and she relaxed into his touch. His thumb ran under her eye to brush the liquid from her cheek.

Not even a single tear should stain her cheeks. He’d decided this when they first began their arrangement, but that was then, and this was now. He couldn’t make this better. The greed of her father far outdid that of a dragon. He wasn’t sure if that was a compliment, but he highly doubted he could ever think something nice of Lucy’s old man.

“Stop cryin’, Luce. It’ll be alright.” She gripped his suit jacket tightly and nodded before tugging him against her. Her forehead nuzzled softly into his chest.

“I know. I’ve been thinking lately… what if we all just ran away? Me, you, Zeref, and Mavis. Couldn’t we just leave?” if she cried anymore she’d ruin her makeup. Appearance was everything. She had to keep up appearance.

“That wouldn’t solve a damn thing. My father would hunt us to the ends of the earth, and so would yours.” That didn’t mean he didn’t want to, because fuck did he want to. He could run to hell and back as long as it was her by his side. But they couldn’t. They couldn’t just leave.

“What if—” she stopped herself. One ‘what if�� was all she could afford. Any more than that, and she’d have actual hope. His rough hand gently raised her chin up to look at him, and he pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead.

“I love ya. And if that means I gotta fight an army to keep ya then I will.” She didn’t want him to. Anything that would hurt him, she could never forgive. Even if it was herself.

“Please don’t. I don’t want you to get hurt, idiot.” She lifted to her tip toes, and pressed a kiss to his lips. It was soft like it always was, he mused. Her lips were sticky from the lip gloss she’d chosen. It tasted like watermelon. She had always liked those flavored ones, and he couldn’t help but agree. He licked her bottom lip, and she giggled – a real giggle – for the first time that night. The sound was like music to his ears. His own private symphony.

He pressed his head into her neck, and his hands gripped her hips. She gave a small gasp that had him growling softly. Then, a scent rose to his nose. It was buried beneath her floral perfume. He was glad she chose the softest one she had in her array of scents. It hadn’t taken the heiress long to learn the sensitivity of a dragon’s nose, and since then had only worn soft scents that smelled of vanilla or a flower shop. Today was the flower shop. Still, that wasn’t the problem. No, his problem lay under that.

Lucy noticed quickly the change from playful growl to territorial growl. She froze on the spot, and then she waited. Territorial Natsu could sometimes be a hassle, between sibling rivalry, and his disgust about their situation it often gave her trouble. Tonight, for example, he likely smelled Zeref on her skin. They’d had to do a ‘lover’s embrace’ in front of their fathers. Complete with longingly staring into each other’s eyes, and happy smiles. They joked about how disgusting it was later.

In another life, she and Zeref would have been friends. She thought so anyway. Here they had a mutual partnership. One that likely wouldn’t make it much farther. It was just as she thought. They should all just run away.

Natsu’s breath on the crook of her neck distracted her from her thoughts, and she tensed while a shiver ran down her spine.

“Your father sucks.” He muttered, resting his forehead to her collarbone, and gently pushing her backward. It wasn’t long before she bumped into the desk at the far back of the office. This idiot was going to try that in a place like this.

“He does. But you know what’s worse?” she was setting him up for a joke. Just like when she’d entered, but his brain didn’t want to hear it. Her dress had been distracting him all night, and with the scent of Zeref on it that was making it all the more irritating. It was tight, black and boy did it fit her like the perfect sized glove. He shivered the second his fingers caressed the fabric. His hands were gripping her hips again, which in turn made her nervous. She’d chosen the dress with slits on both sides with the purpose of riling him up, but she didn’t mean for right now, she’d meant for later. When they were alone in their chambers, and the party goers had gone.

“Hmmm.” The sound vibrated against her neck as a tongue lashed out to lick her skin. A whimper slipped through her lips, and the grip on her hips tightened.

“Happy’s going to destroy the furniture before we get back.” She deflected to the feline for aid in distracting Natsu from his current activities.

“And when he does we’ll confiscate his prized fish as punishment.” A gasp of horror came from her body, but he was more than aware that she was joking. Soon, another giggle erupted through her ribcage.

“And then we’ll have to buy a new couch. Again.” She mumbled.

“What can I say. He really liked the old one.” Natsu wasn’t distracted one bit. In fact, his lips were kissing trails up her neck, and she was doing her best to hold it together.

“For someone who owns a cat, you’re such a sly dog.” He bit into her neck softly, but she got the feeling that if he ever could, he’d leave nothing but marks on her pale skin to show everyone who she was with. She was his, and he was hers. This situation just complicated matters was all. Lucy rocked her hips into his, and he grunted.

“Dragon. I. Am. A. Dragon. We are majestic!” he groaned loudly in annoyance with her terms, and she supposed he was right, but she wanted to make the joke, and so here they were.

“Yes, a mighty dragon. He who lays claim to all treasure.” She had deepened her voice, and added a tone that sounded a lot like a story narrator.

“If we lay claim to all treasure, then you’re mine. You’re my pile of golden coins.” He brought her hand to his lips, and pressed a kiss to her knuckles. She flared a vibrant red, and her face felt like it was on fire all the way up to the tips of her ears.

Their lips met again, but this time more urgent. Her fingers dug into his hair, and his hands finally found their way to her thighs. He squeezed one as he slid his other hand up her inner thigh to reach the seething warmth. A shaky sigh left her lips, and with one touch to the clothed flesh she was throwing her head back, and biting her lip to keep from making a sound.

His grin was devilish as the finger began to rub up, and then down. Up. Down. Up. Down. He continued the slow pace, and the deliberate stroking even as her grip on his hair tightened. She breathed, and his name flowed out. His finger stopped abruptly, and he pulled it back. Then, once more a searing kiss to her lips.

A knock at the door startled her from her haze. She froze in fear until she saw the look of irritation on Natsu’s sharp features.

“We’ve got to get back.” Zeref’s voice echoed from behind the door, and she nearly cursed before pushing past the pinkette. She straightened up her appearance before hanging her head and mumbling something. Natsu had heard her, and all be damned he was a dragon. And wasn’t it a dragon’s duty to kidnap the princess and hide her where she’d never be found again? Her hand pressed to his chest, and she left him with a soft, lingering kiss. It was so pure and tender. It was so full of love that it nearly ripped out his heart to watch her leave arm in arm with Zeref.

With her lingering glance on him as she left he silently promised the world would fear the wrath of Natsu Dragneel if it meant he could live a full life with her.

I saw this text post that I cannot for the life of me find back but it made me write this thing. Nobody judge me.

"Nashuuuuuuuuuuuuu, come overrrrrrrrrrrrr. I miss youuuuuuuuuuu."

Natsu listened to the slurred voice message on his phone, rolling over on his bed in exasperation, a disturbed Happy yowling at him angrily. Her slurred words blended heavily together and it took Natsu a few more replays to figure what she was saying.

He grumbled out something in slight annoyance. Seems like this girls' night out got a little too......much Cana, and Lucy was the victim of her drunken schemes.

He quickly typed back a response, pausing for just a second. If she could barely speak how could he expect her to type properly? He shook his head with an evil grin before hitting send. It'll be hilarious and excellent weaponry for teasing Lucy tomorrow.

"Good to know ya got home safe. Why’d you take Cana up on drinking? Can't take your own advice?"

He waited diligently for her response, eyes trained on the little 3 gray dots. She always gave out the same warning when any of their friends went out. Don't drink with Cana, not even one, because one would turn to many, which would turn to too many, getting caught up in Cana's drinking spell and ending up drunk as a skunk before they knew.

Everyone in their friend circle had gotten caught up in that spell at least once, a handful of succumbing to it more than once. But Lucy stood ever proud and maybe just a little bit arrogant. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

"Shje shaid that I couldnt ahndle my liquor, ,,,,,,,, I shiowed her tonight :)"

"Yeah you sure did. And you're gonna regret it tomorrow :)."

If he knew her as well as he thought Lucy was probably staring down at her phone screen with a drunken pout right now at his sarcastic reply. The 3 gray dots bounced wildly, stopping for a few seconds before appearing again as she typed and deleted her response, finally settling on sending another voice note. With a grin Natsu played it, this one slightly easier to understand than the first.

"Nashuuuuuuuuu. Stop teashing me. Just come over alreadyyyyyyyyy. I- " Her words were broken by a fit of giggles caused by what he assumed was Plue licking at her face from the big dog's snuffling. "I miss youuuuu. "

"You saw me 3 hours ago. You're not gonna die if you wait until tomorrow." He smirked, quickly switching over to the front camera and snapped a pic of him looking vaguely disgruntled at her drunken antics. He sent it off with a very stern sounding 'you're not seeing me until tomorrow' voice note and cackled at the shocked emoji she sent back immediately. She kept sending it over and over, the stream of shock broken by a single angry emoji before she continued spamming the shocked emoji.

Drunk Lucy was too much, a too easy target for his teasing. He cackled again, fingers stroking easily through Happy's fur as he curled back back into Natsu's side. Maybe she should succumb to Cana's drinking schemes more often. It's too hilarious.

Natsu was pretty sure she'd had her finger hard pressed on the the shocked emoji because it just kept coming and coming without fail, not even giving Natsu the chance to respond properly. Then it stopped, and Lucy went quiet. For two minutes he didn't get anything from her and his smile fell just a little.

"Lucy? Lucy are you still there?" He typed quickly and sent off the message, waiting almost impatiently for her response. Concern ripped through him when he didn't see those 3 little dots of her forming a response and he gnawed on his lip a bit. Maybe he had been too much.

"I'm sorry for teasing ya so much."

Still nothing from Lucy and Natsu cursed himself, sinking deeper into his pillows. His fingers ghosted over the call button then he stopped just short when he saw that she was recording another voice clip.

"You don't wanna see me?!" Lucy wailed and Natsu almost dropped the phone on his face from the distress in her voice.

He scrambled for a better grip on his phone, hurriedly typing back a response when she sent another voice clip. "I thought you liked me!"

Shit. "No Lucy! I do like you! You're my best friend!" He struggled to find another response to type, one that would get her to calm down even just a little. God does he feel like shit now for teasing her.

Natsu typed slowly, hoping that this could maybe divert her attention away from her drunken distress."Why do you wanna see me so bad?"

There was a pause. The gray dots bounced wildly as she typed and retyped. Then she only typed back three words.

"I like youuu." Then she sent four.

"I wanna kiss youuuu."

Natsu's breath hitched in his throat. He sat up slowly, easing Happy into his lap as he read the message over and over and over. What?

"Luce you're drunk. That's just the alcohol talking for you."

"No. No it's snot. " She sent a frowny emoji and Natsu could almost picture her pouting with her arms crossed, what she always did when she thought he wasn't taking he seriously.

But he didn't like how the one sentence made his heart pick up an extra beat and put forth the little thought that he always pushed down to maybe, just maybe, be a little but closer with Lucy. He shook his head hard, trying to clear his head of those thoughts. No, she was drunk, she was his friend, stuff like that was never gonna happen.

He glanced back at his phone and saw that she'd sent the same message again.

"I wanna kiss youuuuuuu." This time with a little heart at the end.

And he started to type, typing out some long winded response about how she probably shouldn't go out drinking with Cana anymore, or how she should take it easy on the liquor or how she's just confusing things in her mind. Something to that effect when she shot back with a response that made him freeze and colour flare up in his cheeks.

"Like you have no idea how bad I want to feel your lips on mine. I really really do Natsu. "

She sent another heart emoji and he groaned in slight frustration, falling back on his pillows and rolled over, trying to stifle down whatever he was feeling. Happy hissed, annoyed at the movement and hopped off to go somewhere but Natsu hardly payed his cat mind, too busy listening to his heart pounding in his ears.

He turned on his side and looked at the message again then sighed on defeat, deleting the response he was typing before. Natsu held onto the button to send a voice note.

"I'll-" He began softly. His voice cracked and he started again. "I'll come over ok? "

"! Really?!"

"Yes really. But when I come over you're gonna get some sleep. No arguing about that."

"Yay! :) Yay Yay Yay! See you soon Nashuuuuuu!" She streamed happy faces and hearts without restraint before he saw her go offline.

Natsu blinked, scrolling up through the messages and read the conversation over again, her messages. That message.

'Lucy. ......' Natsu thought. 'We have a lot to talk about tomorrow. '

The thing I saw that made me write this thing

God this has been in my ask box for so long. Anon wherever you are i am so sorry my dude. Writing requests are closed btw, I'm just clearing out my inbox.

Lucy's leg came down hard, splitting the earth where it landed, narrowly missing Natsu who had ducked to the left with a cocky grin, disappearing into the cloud of smoke from her attack.

The sun beat down on the pair of them from its high seat in the sky, not a cloud in sight to lessen the heat or a lick of cool breeze in the still air. Dry and dusty air swirled in Lucy's lungs and she greedily sucked in more lungfuls of it as she stood by, tense with tight fists, waiting for his next move.

Lucy barely even registered that she was wearing her Taurus dress still, her spirit's strength flowed through her muscles as though it were her own. Lucy's whip was tossed to the side, long forgotten and her hair slipped free of their buns. Stray strands stuck up all about her head and stuck to her sweaty skin. They felt gross, she wanted nothing more than to pull them all in a ponytail but she didn't have those seconds to spare.

A wild grin pulled at her lips when Natsu threw himself at her, dodging beneath her left hook. The wind from the force set him off balance slightly but it didn't stop him from dropping into a crouch and sweeping out her feet from under her. Lucy's back hit the dirt hard, knocking the wind out of her lungs in a strangled grunt.

She gritted her teeth, blinking the dirt and sweat from her eyes, taking in the only moment of calm she's had all day. Begrudgingly though she had to admit.

What were they now? 5 for 5? Lucy wasn't quite sure. She jumped to her feet, not even having the time to steady herself when he came flying out of nowhere. His fist broke the already beat up earth where she was just seconds ago.

He stayed there for a bit, a heavy frown pulling at the corners of his lips. Natsu watched her keenly, unblinking as she searched for an opening on him.

Well this wasn't how they was expecting today to go. One spar, just out of curiosity if nothing else. It was never asked although she could see it whenever she fought an enemy, the excited twitch of his lips and the sparkle in his eyes.

Natsu wanted to go against her, and Lucy'd be dammed if she didn't want to test herself against him.

One round turned to five, with Happy abandoning them after the first 2, possibly figuring something that they hadn't at the time. Her eyes narrowed at him, taking in a bit of the damage she had caused.

His cheek was slightly discoloured, a weak purple hue atop his dark skin that had spread since last she focused on it, going down to touch at his jaw. It distracted her from the split in his lip, which he was now gnawing on in concentration. His fingers curled and uncurled in the dirt, bare chest heaving for breath while his other hand gripped his scarf tightly.

Lucy stole a few seconds to pull her hair up and out of her way, wincing at a pain in her side from where Natsu’s leg had caught her earlier. That was gonna bruise for sure, and the one on her shoulder too. Though she didn't dwell on those thoughts too much, the adrenaline coursing through her veins had her on a jittery high that buzzed in her head, numbing the sparks of pain her bruises sent out.

Now lucy could sorta understand why her partner loved a good brawl so much.

Lucy dropped her body into a stance, arms hanging loose about her sides and ready for anything when she saw him hop to his feet. Natsu only threw his head back in a hearty laugh, pulling the scarf from his neck. He wrapped it around his head, securing it in place with a tight knot. His tongue darted out to swipe away the blood beading from his split lip.

Natsu's eyes sharpened on her again, widening his stance, readying for something. She didn't like that toothy grin on his face right now.

Natsu lunged towards her, feet pounding heavily and the scarf's tassles whipped wildly in the air behind him.

A straight attack? Someone was getting desperate, going for his typical right hook when she'd obviously seen through it before. Lucy pulled her fist back. One straight attack for another, an excellent trade off in her opinion.

He didn't even slow at her raised fist, in fact it seemed that he hurtled towards her even faster. This round was gonna be hers, Lucy thought with a smug grin.

"Hya!" She shouted, letting loose her attack, and he took it. Her fist collided with his face, just below his right eye and he grunted at the hit. She froze, not expecting it to land. A wave of concern washed over her, briefly blocking out the adrenaline pumping through her.

"Natsu you-" his fingers curled tightly around her wrist, yanking it from his face. Lucy lashed out with her other hand, hitting nothing as Natsu disappeared behind her, twisting her arm behind her back and keeping her in place.

She slapped fruitlessly at his shoulder with her free hand but he grabbed that too, pulling it behind her like the other.

He panted, breathing slowing to normal as she struggled against his grip, hissing out a complaint when he drew her back flush to his chest.

"I win." He hummed, nosing at her neck. He took a deep breath then rested his chin on her shoulder, looking up at her with mirth filled eyes. "Ready to call it quits?"

"One more round." Lucy ground out. She tested his grip on her, unyielding, and she looked back down at him. The toothy grin was back with a hint of something devilish beneath it. "One more round." She repeated firmly. "And then I'm done."

"But Luuuuuuuuucy," He whined in her ear. "How ya planning on getting outta this? Seems impossible to me. Just say that I'm the winner and I'll let ya go."

"I think I know a way out. Sorry about this in advance by the way."

"Wait sorry about wha-" his question transformed into a yelp, feeling pain shoot up his foot, her boot crushing his toes without mercy. His grip on her loosened and Lucy pushed him off, scrambling away to a good distance while Natsu hopped around nursing his injured foot.

"That was low Luce! Really low!" He grumbled out, gingerly putting weight on his foot. She gave him time to recover, watching as he hobbled around grumpily as the pain she caused receded.

Lucy scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Low blow huh? And pinning my hands behind my back wasn't one?" She peeled off her gloves and chucked them somewhere to the side. She flashed her hands gratefully, they were starting to chafe in there.

"Consider that my revenge. Now quite fooling around. You ready?"

Natsu straightened, signature toothy grin plastered on his face. His most recent injury seemingly forgotten. He cracked his knuckles excitedly, fingers twitching before they curled into tight fists.

"For you? Always."

I'M LATE! I'M LATE! I SPENT MOST OF THE DAY SINGING ANIME SONGS BUT I STILL GOT IT DONE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @lucielhyung ! AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS WEIRD SOUL MATE-ISH AU THING I WHIPPED UP.

Natsu felt off today.

Not a bad off, but not entirely good either but just, off. And it wasn't really just today, since the start of the week he's been distracted, his mind everywhere and his heart going out of control at a moments during the day. At the bookstore yesterday, the supermarket Thursday right in the ice cream aisle.

The worst was Monday at the pizza place, in an argument with Gray-because honestly who in their right mind thinks that pineapple was a bad pizza topping?- and he froze,hand still raised mid-argument, heart racing as he lost his words.

And he wasn't dying either, Natsu made sure to check that out.

Maybe this week was just meant to be an off one.

He sighed, slumped against the bus stop as he scrolled through his phone, aimlessly checking through his messages but nothing catching any of them. Natsu vaguely read something about Jellal wanting to hang out but it barely stuck in his mind, clearing the rest of his notifications. He couldn't concentrate.

Natsu pulled at his already loose scarf, just barely hanging onto his neck. The tassles tickled his neck as the breeze tugged playfully at it.

His skin was absolutely on fire and it wasn't the summer heat. There was no sweat on him but he just felt hot, a strange burning beneath his skin since he rolled out of bed this morning. It wasn't that bad then, just a weak simmer when he threw on some light clothes for the day but now it felt like there was a fire in him just raging to get out.

Natsu shuffled uncomfortably while trying to ignore it. The wind had picked up but nothing in its strength and cool helped him. Natsu cursed, shoving his phone back into his pocket with more force than necessary. He was tired of feeling like this.

He pulled at his scarf again, it's tassles like fingers gripping his throat as it desperately tried to stay on him.

And it was then, of all the times, a sudden gust of wind burst out of nowhere, sweeping dust into his eyes and taking his scarf with it. The scarf flew away in the air, twisting and turning like some weird creature as it went down the street.

So no bus, feeling weird, and nature just decided to steal his scarf. Today was going great so far. At this point in time he didn't even care that people stared at him in confusion as he chased down his scarf.He just wanted to grab it and go home and put an end to this weird week.

He reached out in a fruitless grab, fingers curling on air just short of his prize. His heart picked up pace right now and he stumbled. The wind pulled it further out of reach, teasingly. But he's almost got it, just one more grab, just one more and it'll be -

Smack!

Natsu skidded to a halt before he rammed straight into her, the woman who his scarf had just slapped in the face. Her arms flailed wildly from the impact, narrowly missing his face. He grabbed onto her just before she fell and he almost let go in confusion.

Where her fingers grasped his wrist the heat began to fade, a cooling touch that calmed the heat under his skin. She stiffened slightly at his grasp for a few seconds before groping at the scarf, her words muffled by the cloth.

"Here. Lemme help you with that." Natsu mumbled, unwinding it slowly from her face, still in shock as the fire under his skin died down. His heart too, was no longer fighting to break out of his chest, instead slowing back to normal. The most normal it's been in weeks.

The first thing he saw was her eyes, wild and a little bit shocked as he pulled her free. Her hair was a mess when he finally got it off her, a twinge of familiarity going off in the back of his mind.

Didn't he see her somewhere before? He couldn't quite place it but he knew her face.

"So do you always throw your scarf in people's faces? Or is this something new you're trying out?"

"Can I just say it's an accident and call it even? My scarf doesn't normally attack people. Just that today's been a weird one for me."

He awkwardly twined it back around his neck, making sure it was rightfully secured so it wouldn't take off again. The woman still held onto him, hand resting lightly atop his own. "You too huh?" She said, "sounds like we're in the same boat here. "

She grinned, patting down her hair with the other hand.

"Well we can't both be having a bad day now can we? Anything I can do to make it better?"

"So is this your trick to pick up girls? Scarf and shoot? Not very effective if you ask me." She burst out laughing at his stunned expression, and even harder so when he stuttered something in defense.

"I'm kidding! I'm kidding stranger. I'm up for free food. That would actually be kinda nice right now."

Natsu grinned, catching her infectious one with ease and snorted. "I'm Natsu by the way."

"Lucy." She replied. Lucy poked at his hand playfully, "Lead the way to the free food please."

He beamed and started to walk, his new companion trailing behind him slightly. Something about this felt right.

Prompt 2: Betrayal

Title: Deep and Dark

Pairing: NaLu

Prompt: NaLu Angst Week 2018 - Betrayal

Rating: M; Small bit of violence my friends tread carefully please

None of these characters are owned by me, they are all owned by the wonderful Hiro Mashima!

A/N:

So, here’s Betrayal this is Prompt 2 for NaLu Angst Week 2018. Pirate AUs give me life, and since I haven’t written one yet this seemed to be the best way to get it done. It felt like a good prompt to pair it to.

FF.net

The male in front of her looked about two seconds away from a mad dash to the railing to remove this morning’s breakfast from his stomach. This was the captain? He was hardly fit to be running a pirate ship; least of all the renowned Fairy Tail. This couldn’t possibly be him. The blonde stared straight at him with a look that couldn’t have been anything other than disappointment.

“Oi, Natsu! Did you not take Wendy’s tonic this morning?” it was the dark haired man that she’d met at the port first thing this morning. He’d been wandering about lost and naked for nearly an hour before she finally approached him. First, he’d been shocked at his lack of clothing, and second, he needed to locate a specific dock on the east side. That wasn’t a difficult task for her since she’d memorized every single map of the continent. She’d spent years stalking the magnificent pirate crew, and finally her wall of scribbles and connected string was put to use.

“She wouldn’t let me! Said somethin’ about—” Natsu’s body lurched forward and he nearly retched at her feet. She took several steps back, and put a single arm up in defense. “--it would lose effect.” He finished. He was holding his stomach, and beads of sweat slid from his forehead down his jaw.

“Mavis look at you. Just get out of here, and go lay down somewhere.” He had introduced himself earlier as ‘Gray’, probably. At the very least it was a color. Speaking of colors. The blonde found herself drawn to the vibrant pink mane on the sick male’s head. It was wild, and it flowed as far as his shoulders. She approached slowly with a deliberate pace. If she moved quickly she was sure it would make whatever was wrong with him worse.

“Before your head starst getting twisted around. I’m not the captain here. Our master is out with the quarterly meeting of the official pirate’s league.” She was glad that the pinkette was more than happy to correct the thoughts running through her own mind.

“I didn’t think you were.” She lied mostly to save face, but also she felt slightly mislead by the man who had once again stripped down to nothing but his underwear. She stared at him, and then pointed in his direction. “Your clothes. Again.” She mumbled. Natsu immediately began to laugh so hard that it echoed around them, and even spread towards the dock. They’d immediately taken off after Gray – she was certain that was his name – had returned to the vessel. The fact that he’d brought her had done nothing to impede their travels. It had honestly put her in shock that they had just taken off with her on board.

“So… I know I’m already here but, shouldn’t there be a process for this?” she laughed hesitantly as the hustle and bustle continued without a hitch even though a new member had theoretically joined. Joining had been her ultimate goal, and to say this made it even easier would be an understatement. They were too trusting to just let a stranger onto their ship. Especially considering she wasn’t intending to be their friend; she was their enemy. She’d sink this ship even if it meant everyone on this vessel went straight to the bottom of the sea.

“Your mother is already dead, Lucy! Stop bringing trivial matters to me.” Her dad made a sweeping motion with his hand in effort to remove her from his sight. When she cowered, but did not move he looked to desk. It was a low growl, “That wretched Fairy Tail took her. If it weren’t for them…” he’d muttered.

Those words stuck in young Lucy’s mind just as the violence of her father that day. The continued anger of her old man, and his lashing out became a common occurrence both onboard Layla’s Heart. Her father had named the boat after her mother, and he’d thought that it was cute to say Heart instead of Heartfilia. He’d felt her mother had the most kindness of all, and he said the boat’s name could never do her justice. That was nothing but a distant memory now. It had faded to the recesses of her mind, and only now did it bring itself back forward. She swallowed the bile that rose in her throat, and instead plastered her signature smile to her face.

It was a smile that was rehearsed, and used consistently in her work as the mistress of the Heartfilia Konzern. She hated the thought that she’d be returning once her mission was over, but that was just how it had to be. She was to be the wife of the heir to her father’s company. Whomever he chose for that position. She hoped for someone tolerable, but with her father’s personality it was unlikely.

“Nah, not really. We’ll just talk to gramps when we pick him up in three days.” Natsu was seemingly holding it together now for someone who was ready to collapse not even two seconds ago. Then, he retched again. He hobbled off with a last order.

“Someone get Luigi settled while I nap.” He was still stumbling away, and surely she knew she wouldn’t see him for another day or so. Which meant she had a small window for her correction.

“It’s Lucy!” he responded with a shooing motion, and she clicked her teeth. It wasn’t hard to hate the crew after all. If they were all brash like him, then it wouldn’t be hard to sink this ship. She’d tear it down herself. She had a trump card after all. Even if this was the strongest pirate’s guild, and even if it had the strongest mages this side of the seven seas. She smirked ever so slightly, and it was likely that the slightest haze of darkness had touched those brown iris’.

“Well with that idiot out of the way it’ll be easier to get this done.” The man named Gray was scratching the back of his head, and he even let out an exasperated sigh.

“Right now, we’re really lacking coverage for our overnight watch. All we have is Natsu, and as you can see sometimes he’s as helpful as a bag of rocks.” She notated that each member seemed to have the marks of the ship on different locations. Natsu had his on his right shoulder. Conversely, Gray had his on his right pectoral. She was curious on other locations. She knew that tattoos were the loyalty to the pirate’s chosen home away from land. Still, she absolutely could not see herself staining her skin with the brand of her mother’s killer. Never. If she could delay it then she’d do everything in her power to make sure it would never happen.

“So, I’ll take that position then. My magic is rather well suited to water.” It wasn’t a lie, but it was specifically a portion of her power that was suitable. It seemed with Natsu’s sickness she would spend a lot of time alone. That would be good for her considering she needed to get correspondence from the Fairy Tail to Raven Tail. The two seemed to be extreme rivals. She’d never met anyone from Raven Tail, but her father seemed whole heartedly invested in them. He ‘trusted’ them. That alone made her wary of them, and from what she’d seen so far, she wasn’t sure Fairy Tail was actually capable of killing innocents. However, looks can be deceiving.

“Oh? Are ya a water mage?” they were friendly. She’d have to respond in kind. She held up two fingers in a peace sign.

“You could say that. My magic is rather specialized. It’s passed down from my mother.” It had to be just enough to seem like she wanted to be their friend. Like she wanted to be there.

“Great. Natsu probably won’t join you on any night shifts for a few days, so you’ll be all alone. Since it’s sunset you’ll hafta start now, and then in the morning Mira can assign you a bunk.” A shift right off the bat? Well, that was fine. Other than the added bonus of being able to send her letters she would also be able to frequently see the stars.

“I’m happy to get started!” another false smile. How many of these would she have to give??

------------------------------

It was a few days before she actually saw Natsu again, just as she’d thought. He was surprisingly chipper this time. She’d learned from Mira that he had motion sickness, and the resident healer’s assistant made a tonic every few days for him to drink, but nearing day 3 he was nearly always useless. It seemed that she had to change the recipe with each batch as well so he wouldn’t become immune to it. It sounded like a hassle, and she wondered if she’d even bother at that point. What was a mage with motion sickness doing as a pirate anyway?

“Oh!! Luigi! So you’re the one on shift with me, huh?” again with the name.

“It’s Lucy.” She corrected for the second time, but instead of really giving an ‘I understand’ he just smiled and plopped down next to her. She had her back resting against the railing of the ship, and previously she’d just been staring into the rippling waves of the water. She thought that she may have briefly seen something below the surface, but she couldn’t exactly be sure. She decided to hold off on alerting the crew for now.

Surprisingly she’d started to really take her duties seriously. She’d even made friends. She felt a burning in her chest at the thought.

“You haven’t chosen a place for your mark yet?” he questioned, and she froze on the spot. How could she tell him the thought disgusted her?

“No rush! I mean the marks are actual tattoos, and they’re permanent so it’s important to make sure ya like where it goes.” He seemed to sense her discomfort, and she looked at him for real this time. She took an actual full-fledged look at him. His hair was light pink, and it shone under the light of the full moon. She caught herself thinking that it was beautiful.

The way he was so serene, and the way he looked at the stars. Like her mother. She turned abruptly. There was no way she thought a member of the Fairy Tail was reminiscent of her late mother. The one they’d murdered in cold blood.

She lifted her head to focus on the one thing that had always brought her comfort: The Stars. They shone above her like a beacon giving her the feeling of pure tranquility.

“So ya can show that kind of expression.” It startled her to the point that her eyes moved to him immediately. That was when warm amber, and bright emerald met. They both looked startled at the sudden eye contact.

“What do you mean?” it was barely above a whisper.

“Well ya look like ya can’t decide whether to love or hate it here. But when ya look at the stars ya can tell. Ya love ‘em, right?” his grin spread wide across his face, and she nearly felt herself loosen up in front of him. Instead, she hardened her defenses.

“I… do. Me, and my mother, used to look at them every night from the cliff near our home. The connection I have with the stars is all I have left of her.” The small smile on her face was filled with a pain that Natsu himself recognized, and could even relate to.

“My father disappeared when I was a kid, and all I have left of him is this scarf, and the memories of the days he spent raisin’ me.” He was trying to relate to her, but something about the expression she gave him said that was the wrong thing to do. There was a brief moment where her eyes lit with hostility. It was gone in a flash, but Natsu knew what he’d seen. There was something about this girl’s past and somehow Fairy Tail was involved. To what extent he didn’t know, but surely from the look in her eyes it wasn’t good. He’d have to watch her.

--------------------

They spent many nights under the stars in the sky. The only time they hadn’t was tonight where they sat on the floor of Lucy’s cabin as the boat sloshed back and forth in the rush of the wind and rain that threatened to topple the sturdy craft. Natsu’s head was rested in her lap as he writhed and retched beneath her. Honestly, she wanted to move his head.

His hair tickled her thighs, and his breath was brushing against her skin. It made her shiver occasionally, and that caused her a self-loathing she’d never be able to fix. Still, the man nestled against her had made her feel welcome, she felt like family. It was the first time since her mother that she felt she had a home to return to. For how long though she wouldn’t know. Raven Tail was steadily catching up even though she’d been sending them on wild goose chases. They must’ve had a tracking magic on her, but she wasn’t capable of removing it let alone finding it.

Levy could have removed it in an instant, but how could she tell them she planned from the very start to betray them? Even now her heart was conflicted. They were her friends, and the Fairy Tail felt like it was even becoming her family. Had they really killed her mother? That had to be a mistake. Her father had to be mistaken. However, she couldn’t think of a time where his knowledge had been wrong. Surely, he wouldn’t lie and use her to destroy an innocent gang of pirates. Would he? He would.

Her slender fingers laced into his hair, and began to knead into his scalp. He relaxed, and the only expression on his face was faint discomfort. Though, his breath came out in heavy pants, and sweat dripped down his skin the same as the day she’d met him. She had been living on this ship for nearly a month now, and she’d become more than accustomed.

“T-thanks, Luigi…” he trailed off, and a single eye opened to look at her. Her breath hitched as she stared into that deep forest green. It reminded her of the canopy tree her mother had set up picnics under during hot summer days. Her eyes closed as a soft smile came to her lips.

“It’s Lucy, idiot.” She bopped him on the head softly before returning to the soft strokes she’d been working before.

“What if… what if I’d done something really bad?” she whispered. His eyes snapped open to look at her, and she could tell he’d been wary of her from the start. She ceased her touch, and when he sat up from her lap she immediately moved as far back as possible. Her back hit the wall with a thud.

“What did you do?” his voice was deep, but it gave her a sense of fear. It even caused a shiver of unease to run down her spine. She knew right then and there that he’d suspected her right from the start.

“What if it was just.. my being here?” she looked down into her lap where she fiddled with her thumbs, and her teeth worked her bottom lip.

“Lucy, you can be here if ya want to be. If there’s somethin’ threatening that ya need to tell us. We’re your family now.” She looked up to see that his entire body had relaxed, and he’d gone right back to his state of nausea. Then, a thought came to her: she’d done something much worse than being onboard: she’d fallen in love.

She continued to push her back into the wall even when she couldn’t go any further. Her face was the shade of bright red roses, and she wished in this moment that Natsu was blind.

“Lucy, no matter what I’ll protect you.”

He wouldn’t if he knew, but even so the sentiment was enough to be remembered. She closed her eyes, and her smile was the widest it had ever been.

“Hey, Natsu. I know where I want my Fairy Tail mark. But it’s a secret~” she’d finally chosen. She’d chosen her home. Still, there was the matter of Raven Tail. How long could she keep them at bay? She needed to send another letter, but this time it had to be one where they’d never find the Fairy Tail no matter what. She had to divert them, and remove herself.

--------

She hadn’t seen daylight in nearly two days. It’d been deliberation, and planning. She’d had to decide if she’d tell the crew, or if she should just send the letter, and send her own body to the ocean floor. Clearly, the latter was not an option.

“Lu, why’d you call me here?” Levy’s voice was tentative, concerned even. She should be.

“Do you know Raven Tail?” Levy’s face was enough to garner that she’d heard of, and did not like the pirates.

“They’re a group of dirty pirates led by Ivan, the master’s son. He’s a pillager, and often the land he’s stolen from, and the families he’s purged of their belongings don’t make it out alive.” Levy was shivering as tears threatened to spill. Worst of all, Lucy knew that they were the ones who killed her mother. The mother she loved so much had been killed by the guild she was aiding. Levy’s information just proved what she’d already known.

Her body felt disgusting, and she desperately wanted to crawl out of her own skin.

“I-I was working for them.” She mumbled. Levy instantly looked like she was ready to do combat, but her stance loosened when Lucy ran her hand over her guild mark.

“They told me Fairy Tail killed my mother. They told me that if I led them here they would help me get my revenge. So, I came aboard with the intention of sinking this ship.” Levy had always been an intent listener, and today she was doing more than just listening. She was hearing the actual sentiment coming from Lucy’s own mouth.

“The longer I stayed on this ship the more I realized there’s no way that Fairy Tail could do this. I love you all, and you truly became my entire world. My true family. I tried to send them on a wild goose chase, but they just seemed to be replying quicker and quicker to my messages.” She looked at Levy as the realization dawned on the blunette’s face.

“Leave it to me, Lu!” she threw several texts to the table beside Lucy, and quickly began to read through them. If it was Levy she could break the magic that had made Lucy a ticking time bomb for the guild.

Suddenly, the boat lurched and there was an explosion on deck. Both girls rushed to the top with a look of horror on their face. It was too late.

“Ah! There she is! Our little double agent.” The eyes of each pirate landed on her, and she could feel their gazes on her and her skin felt like it was buzzing. She heard Levy in the background, but she couldn’t make out what she was saying. Only one voice stood out from the rest.

“What did you do?” it was Natsu, and at first, she thought it was pointed at her. She couldn’t meet his eyes. She couldn’t look into the gaze of the man who had given her everything she needed to heal under those bright, beautiful stars.

She glanced up with a deliberate slowness as she yearned to disappear right where she stood. What she saw wasn’t an angered pinkette looking at her. He was looking at him. Rage filled Natsu to the brim as he stared Ivan down.

The fire mage knew without a doubt that Ivan had tricked Lucy. That was the kind of bastard he was. He’d exploit your weakness, and then he’d betray you. His fingernails dug into his palms and they surely would leave crescent moons in his skin. He didn’t care if it meant destroying Raven Tail’s Master right then and there.

Flames licked his hands, and his face seemed shadowed by his own hair. Lucy Heartfilia began to panic. This entire ship would go down in a blaze of glory fighting Raven Tail. This was a mess she made. To think she never even questioned what lies she was fed. The blonde was always reading and researching. Yet, she never thought to fact check the information about her mother’s unfortunate passing. Rage had clouded her judgement.

She shot forward to run in front of Natsu. This seemed to stop him for the briefest moment. She had a small window here to distract him and the guild so she could make her move. She probably wouldn’t get another moment like this. Not now, not ever. She pushed up on her tip toes and took one last look at those eyes that had brought her happy memories of her mother. She touched her lips to his. Soft and gentle against dry and cracked.

He didn’t reciprocate, and she didn’t expect him to. Regardless of whether it was shock or that he was mad she’d brought hell to his guild her expectations were low.

“Ivan. It’s time to end this farce. Fairy Tail didn’t kill my mother. You did. You did this out of disgusting greed.” Gasps rang out around her, and Natsu managed to snap out of the stupor she’d put him in. He flashed back to those small moments where she’d talked about her mother. The flash of hostility the first night he’d joined her for watch. And worst of all, the time she’d tried to reach for help, and instead he’d probably ended up doing more harm than good. He may have told her he’d protect her, but he hadn’t really heard her out and he now realized he should have pried more. He should have pushed to support her so she’d be comfortable telling the crew.

Natsu cursed at himself ten times before taking in her small, quivering form. She was standing up to Ivan, the master of Raven Tail, and arguably the most vile man alive. Just seeing him made Natsu want to upchuck right onto the top deck. Gray would give him such a tongue lashing if he did it again though.

“Lu—” he reached out to take her newly branded hand, but she was already gone. She was propelling forward with all the speed she had.

“Open! Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!” there was a flash of gold just as her body slammed into Ivan’s. With her momentum she could topple them right over the edge. Natsu couldn’t remember why, at that very second, but gramps had made the railing at the bow of the craft shorter than anywhere else on the ship. Finally, his body listened to him, and he was running forward. It was too late, he realized.

“I love you.” He looked up to see her meet his gaze one last time.

“They killed mom.” As if on command the heavens above raged, and the waters below seemed to scream in turmoil. A tsunami slammed into the vessel of the Raven Tail, and ‘Lucky’ Lucy Heartfilia dragged Ivan Dreyar overboard.

They both slammed into the water, but no matter how much the man struggled Lucy held tight. He’d drown with her. Her lungs began to burn, and bubbles tried desperately to reach the surface to no avail. The thing about humans is that in the face of death it was easy to turn on the other. She struggled against him with everything she had, and his movements mimicked her own. She fought to keep him down just so she could rise, and eventually it had become less about saving Fairy Tail for good. She’d just became a desperate dying heiress sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

She hadn’t realized through her haze that Ivan was no longer struggling. Honestly, it hadn’t been for a few seconds. He was just dead weight holding her down but still she clawed at his body to try and swim to freedom. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move. It was over, she realized. The shape of a body shimmered above her. She couldn’t see under the water, not any longer. But she felt a gentle grip, and then a sudden whoosh.

“Lu—” she could hear the sounds in short spurts.

“Cy—”

“Lu—”

“Juvia has been keeping eyes on the bottles she was sending. I’m sure she was unaware of the underwater night watch. At first Juvia destroyed them, but they changed. She was trying to send messages where they would go somewhere else.” The voice was female, and she recognized Juvia. They’d met briefly in the cabins. She loved Gray.

“Lu came to me for help right before the attack. I think she thought they might be tracking her with magic.” Levy. Dear Levy who trusted in her. She was thankful for that.

“Lucy!” Natsu. Loving Natsu. The man who’d soothed her wounds during nights under midnight black speckled in white.

Her eyes blinked open, and the sunlight above threatened to blind her. Her head turned slightly, and she saw the most beautiful sight. Pink with hues of dancing orange from the rays above.

“I wanted.... to have... more adventures..” she croaked out. Her throat was sore from her trip to the sea bottom, but she hoped that if she lived through this they’d let her stay.

The sun was warm on her skin, and she felt the tiniest bit of life seep back into her. Then, it was dark.

NaLu Angst Week Prompt 4: Distance

Title: Nights in Crocus

Pairing: NaLu

Prompt: NaLu Angst Week 2018 - Distance

Rating: M;

None of these characters are owned by me, they are all owned by the wonderful Hiro Mashima!

A/N:

I mean I feel like I lost my angst touch near the beginning but now I’ve got it back so hopefully I do myself some sort of justice with these now

I made a whole angst playlist tbh

FF.net

Nights in Crocus were the worst, in Lucy’s opinion. The hustle and bustle of the city below her never ceased and always continued well into the morning. The hoots and hollers of the drunks, the fireworks during the many festivals held in the capital, and worst off all: her deadlines. The scattered ruins of balled up papers, and several rough drafts littered her wooden floors as she prepped her next article. It wasn’t one of importance, but Jason insisted it was ‘cool!’ and that he thought it held something special for her.

It didn’t.

Lucy thought she might be ready to throw another draft to the ground when she decided to stop. She decided to just simply stop. Now, the blonde had never once missed a deadline. Even as her sleep deprived aching body dragged her ass into the office to hand it over to the printers. This time she might really have to let this article go. It would have to be late.

She stood quickly, her chair legs making a noise similar to nails on a chalkboard before she left the mess that was her desk behind. It wasn’t long before the blonde was running down the streets of Crocus and heading towards the forest surrounding it. She never could see the stars from her apartment in the city. There was too much going on and the lights of the town drowned out the night sky. She was angered by this on nights like the one she was currently experiencing. It had taken her more than a month to discover this special spot in the woods that gave her an entire view of the expanse of the universe above her.

Most nights it made her feel small, but it also allowed her to be closer with her spirits. It was like she could physically bask in their presence when she sat under the dark blanket of midnight. The bushes rustled, and a branch sliced into her thigh. It stung, but wasn’t anything that caused her to faulter. She had experienced much worse than a cut made by a branch.

The clearing in front of her had nothing but grass and a single rock in the middle. That was where she sat to let the light of the moon wash over her. Today was no different. It wasn’t hard to focus on the sky but sometimes she hated it.

It reminded her of the night he left. She’d run the streets of Magnolia just the same as she’d run them tonight in Crocus. She’d even barged into the woods thinking if she was quick enough maybe she’d catch up. But she never found them. She never found Happy, and she’d never found him. She’d made it a point to not say his name, because it always brought the tears that she’d spent months holding back. It wasn’t like he’d be gone for good. He said he’d be back in a year, and she had to trust that. It was just that she wasn’t sure he’d come back. With Fairy Tail broken up, and nothing to tie him to what she’d felt was home she just wasn’t sure if he would.

She hated thinking like that. She hated doubting him when she knew damn well he’d come home. But it was nights like tonight when she was stuck on her work and stuck in her own mind that those moments hit her like a freight train. That’s why she was never late for a deadline after all. If she worked hard enough she could drown out the anxiety, fear, and worst of all the loneliness.

She stood slowly, and a stick under her boots crunched. If Aquarius were here she’d tell her to get it together, and to stop being such a crybaby. But Aquarius wasn’t here either.

They both were gone. She’d lost the two most important people to her in one day, and sometimes that was hard for her to bear. She wondered if the pinkette was looking up at the sky too? Was he thinking of her too? She rubbed her eyes viciously with the back of her hand before turning to head back. She’d force that idiot dragon slayer to make it up to her when he came back. He owed her a dinner or two!

This time she walked home. There was no nervous scrambling. She wasn’t on the verge of panic. She just walked leisurely all the way home. There were no men in boats on a canal to tell her to be careful, the lights of her apartment were off just as she’d left them, and there was no angry landlady greeting her to ask about rent. It was home, but at the same time it wasn’t.

Regardless, she entered and the lights flicked on by themselves. It was a nifty feature she’d found tedious to set up and she nearly quit about four times, but some days the hard work paid off. The fruits of her labor still lay in shambles on the ground and she internally groaned at the thought of having to fix them.

Once again, she hated the nights in Crocus.

Natsu hated nights like these when the sky was too clear, and he could see the stars above, but at the same time he loved them. It was like a reminder of what was waiting when he went back to Magnolia. He’d never been one to be alone for so long, not that he was truly alone he had Happy, but he was used to the constant activity of the guild. Still, this was something he had to do. He had to get stronger to protect the ones he loved. He couldn’t protect Igneel, and he couldn’t protect Future Lucy. He’d failed them both.

He couldn’t fail again. There was only one Fairy Tail. But most of all, there was only one Lucy. That didn’t mean he didn’t feel bad. Still, she was in the safe hands of the guild so he wasn’t worried. In fact, Gildarts had given him a gift as proof. Apparently, the mage had destroyed another village, but not before he’d gathered a few Sorcerer’s Weekly magazines. It was the one item Natsu stored carefully in his pack, but on nights like this he’d pull it out, and read it. Tonight, was one of those nights.

His thumb ran across the name on the page: Lucy Heartfilia. She’d finally done it. She’d gotten published by the magazine she’d admired for years. His smile was fleeting, and quickly replaced by a frown. She would have shown him first. She would have smiled just like when she got her Fairy Tail mark.

“Natsu! Look!” and she’d have shoved the magazine in his face until he finally took a good look at it.

While he didn’t understand why she loved to write so much that didn’t mean he didn’t support her. In fact, he wished he could tell her just how proud he was of her. He hated nights like this where the sky was so vast above him, and so open. He wondered if her spirits could see him.

Surely, she’d be just fine. She had her spirits, and Fairy Tail. She’d be just fine. He delicately placed the article back into his pack. He hated nights like these. He missed her, and he couldn’t wait to go back home to see her again. He wanted to tell her all of his adventures, and all that he’d seen.

But seeing the stars that reminded him so much of her made him want to racing right back. He couldn’t do that, but temptation always struck on nights like this.

He hated nights like this, but he loved them too.

NaLu Angst Week Prompt 3: Tears

Title: Blue Lips

Pairing: NaLu

Prompt: NaLu Angst Week 2018 - Tears

Rating: M; some gore???? Blood mention?? Unsure what to mark for triggers

None of these characters are owned by me, they are all owned by the wonderful Hiro Mashima!

A/N:

I’m not even writing these in order at this point

Living it wild style Quatro puppy are my homies tbh

Anyways as far as triggers go I don’t think there are any big ones, but if I should have one on here let me know

I’m also starting to notice the constant trend of Happy not being in a good chunk of my fanfictions. He appears in Starcrossed though I promise we just haven’t really gotten there yet

(due to my horrendous pacing skills we may never get there) anyways Happy isn’t in this one but that’s cause of the scene itself not so much of me not adding him in

FF.net

“—atsu!” His ears rang, and holy Mavis his side ached something fierce. Future Rogue had really gotten him good, but he didn’t have time to think about that right now. Two hands gripped his forearm as he tried desperately to pull himself from the shadow that was threatening to swallow him whole and leave him in eternal darkness.

He reached out to grab onto something – anything – that he could use to tug his way to freedom. He squeezed. All he felt was firm, thick fabric, but that was all he needed. He pulled, and with assistance from the two mages at his side he finally escaped the most present danger.

“Natsu! Pull yourself together!” that was Meredy’s voice. He recognized it rather easily since she had started working with Fairy Tail before they’d even arrived at the Grand Magic Games. She was yelling, and it seemed rather panicked, but he couldn’t care less.

“You mustn’t move yet!” that was Urtear. They both sounded afraid, and he supposed that was fair. The kingdom of Fiore was under attack by dragons of all things, and there was Future Rogue who had started this entire disaster. Some days were better than others, and today was definitely not one of those. His side felt like it was on fire, and he knew that sticky substance streaming from his abdomen down his leg was in fact blood.

That didn’t matter. He had to protect the future. He’d promised Lucy that he’d protect her future, and he’d protect everything she’d travelled here to save. He’d protect the very thing she died for. His mind flashed to his Lucy. To living, breathing Lucy who he’d forced to run away. She was the most stubborn woman he’d ever met, and she’d never just leave a comrade behind. Just like on Tenrou Island when she could have left him there and run off on her own to safety, but instead she took every hit that bastard had dished out.

“Because, it’s more fun when we’re together!”

Even if her smile had a tinge of sadness she was still giving him her very best grin. In that moment, he knew she was Fairy Tail. There had been no doubt in his mind that she was, but right then and there he knew. He had to make sure she’d left, and he had to make sure she was safe. Even if his entire body was covered in cuts and bruises. Even if he had to die to do it.

“Is… Lucy…?” the two woman made low noises that disheartened him immensely. He struggled to lift his head, and when he finally could his eyes were unfocused. It was like trying to see through Lucy’s favorite glass vase back home: hazy, and unclear. It took a few more moments, and then he could see the figure strewn on the ground. She was right where she’d been left. She laid in the broken rubble of the palace just barely escaping the vicious fight the two dragon slayers had just engaged in.

“Lucy..” he breathed before moving his ragged body to standing. Everything ached, and his magic was dangerously low. He’d fought the Garou Knights, and then he’d begun the war with the palace guards coming in flocks. He was weakened drastically, and the wound in his side did not help one bit. The dragon slayer’s hand shook as it pressed over the open slice in an attempt to stop the bleeding, and to hopefully stop the intense throbbing that was radiating through his body. His Lucy was safe, but the Lucy strewn on the floor had suffered for it. Had been put through such an awful situation, because he wasn’t strong enough.

He continued forward step by step, and even if someone had tried to stop him he would’ve just plowed right through them. His eyes were on one single thing: Lucy. Lucy’s unmoving body. Lucy who had been by his side from the moment she entered the guild to the moment she’d left her life. Tears threatened his eyes once again and by the grace of Mavis he managed to contain his crying to soft sobs. He didn’t even care as his knees crashed to the ground beside her causing a screaming pain to rush through his joints.

There he sat with his fingers digging into the fabric of his pants as he mulled over his own failure laying right in front of him. He wasn’t fast enough, nor was he strong enough to protect her from Rogue’s attack. Shadow or not there had to have been something he could have done. He could have done anything. She had always trusted him to rescue her, and he trusted her to save him. They’d both kept each other from all kinds of danger. She’d protected him when they fell from a waterfall, because his motion sickness had gotten the better of him. He’d saved her when she jumped from the prisons of Phantom Lord and came crashing down from the sky.

She trusted him, and he’d failed her. Her blonde hair normally reminded him of bright sunflowers, but today it reminded him of the sun. The strands seemed stronger in color when compared to her own blue-tinted skin. She was even paler than she had ever been, and his shoulders shook as he once again attempted to swallow his emotions. He had to protect the current Lucy’s future so that she could continue to live. He wouldn’t even be able to stomach a life without Lucy in it.

He reached out, and his fingers grazed her cheek. She was soft, and cold. Her skin felt like Gray’s after he’d used an ice make ability. She was so, so cold. His hand caressed her cheek, and he thought for the briefest moment that if he could warm her up she’d come back to him. But she wouldn’t. Mavis, he wanted to have her back with him. She was so precious to him, and he loved her with everything he could. He hadn’t realized it back then, but thinking on it now she was special to him, and he’d lost that today.

“Damn it!” he screamed, throwing his body over her own. He wondered once again if heating her would bring her back to life, but he knew it wouldn’t. He had to get it together. Lucy’s smiled flashed through his mind. It was the one she made every time they went on an adventure, and it was the same one she’d made when she got her Fairy Tail mark.

The pinkette lifted his body from hers after several moments, and he grazed his hand over the place where her right hand used to be. It was hollow, and the fabric sunk in which did nothing but further the clenching in his chest, and the tears were streaming from his eyes once more. He’d give anything to have kept this Lucy alive until she went home to a time that was hopefully fixed with what they would do today. He had to get it together for his Lucy. He had to keep her alive at all cost, which meant he couldn’t keep sitting here. He had someone to protect.

“Because, it’s always fun when we’re together, right Luce?” he mumbled to her, and his hand was pulled from her cheek. The place where he’d touched was the slightest bit warmer, and he hoped wherever she was that it was a place where she’d be happy, and loved.

“I’m all fired up now!” he punched his fist into his open palm as he prepared for battle. He had dragons to defeat, a man from the future to punch (it was the least he deserved), and a future to save.

NaLu Angst Week Prompt 5: Insanity

Title: Shots Fired

Pairing: NaLu

Prompt: NaLu Angst Week 2018 - Insanity

Rating: M;

None of these characters are owned by me, they are all owned by the wonderful Hiro Mashima!

A/N:

Sometimes writing is a struggle today is one of those times since I start back to Starcrossed tomorrow haha the struggle is real fam

FF.net

Insane. This was the definition of insane. Lucy toyed with the knife in her hands as she stared through the skylights and straight into the bedroom of a man. Who even had skylights in their ceiling? Was he just a cocky asshole, or did he just like them? Personally, the idea annoyed her to no end. That wasn’t a surprise since she did most of her work in the cloak of night, and most of her rest came during the day. If she slept at all.

“Are ya going to keep broodin’ up there or do ya want some coffee?” the voice startled her causing a near fall to her death. She’d been wrapped in her anger of skylights and allowed herself a moment of weakness.

“Why would I do that?” she called down to him. She was hired to kill him, and Lucy never failed an assignment. Not even that one history essay that she also threatened to shove down her 6th grade teacher’s throat.

“Ya don’t have to. But you’ve been sitting there for an hour looking like some dirty thief. People are gonna start calling the cops. This isn’t the east side.” He wasn’t wrong. This was a slightly classier neighborhood. Though, that was unsurprising since the man below her was none other than Natsu Dragneel, the son of the head of one of the most terrifying local crime mobs. The blonde herself was just a mercenary. She liked money, and paying rent, so why not do a trade. She had an unfortunate set of skills, and they had the cash. Win-win. Lucy’s father had been the head of the Heartfilia Konzern and had decidedly forced her to learn skills more befitting of a murderer than an heiress.

She’d always had a natural talent for rage induced freak outs, and the training just solidified her skill to channel those episodes into something far more useful. Surely, there were better ways she could live she just didn’t care to find them.

“Why not.” She was here to kill him. The closer she got the better the shot, she figured. She leapt from the top of the building and onto his balcony with a soft thud. Tonight, had been a scouting night but if she was close enough to get the deed done now then it probably didn’t matter much.

“So, do you look into the rooms of guys you don’t know often, or just the ones you’re supposed to kill?” she wasn’t sure she could make a recovery from an accusation like that. While it was correct she couldn’t have been that obvi—

She literally just spent an hour staring at him through a window while fiddling with a knife. Literally, what other excuse could there be for that. Deflect, she decided.

“Drat. You caught me. I’m a stalker with a penchant for cute men with pink hair and abs.” she sighed in defeat while shaking her head. Even though it had been two hours since her last caffeine fix when he brought the coffee to her she still waited patiently with the mug in her hand. She wouldn’t take the first sip. It would be survival of the fittest. From the looks of his toned body she felt he might’ve actually been the fittest in the room.

A soft mewl caught her attention, and she turned to stare at what appeared to be a blue cat with a fish hanging from it’s mouth. She stared in shock, and wonder, while she watched him trot off and throw the fish on the couch. What an… interesting creature.

“Don’t.” his voice was sharp, but that held no effect on her.

“Why is it blue?” she questioned still eyeing the cat with astonishment.

“He. His name is Happy. He’s blue because he’s blue.” He’d replaced the chipper demeanor from earlier with one befitting of the man who held the title ‘E.N.D’. This man was supposedly a demon in the field, and if the tone he gave her was just the top of the barrel she wondered what the bottom would be like.

“I’m a mercenary, not a monster.” She said simply before bringing her eyes back to him. His eyes caught hers immediately. She froze on the spot as she watched the man before her. He had a primal look in his eyes, and not like the ones she’d seen from men she’d seduced to get them alone for the purpose of their death. No, this was one that reminded her of her father. The ice emanating from just his gaze was one that promised the end. Perhaps that was why he was called E.N.D.

Natsu took stock of the girl as she eyed him warily. Many female assassins had come to his home previously, but none of them were like her. He’d watched her out of the corner of his eye for an entire hour. She’d spent 95% of it arguing with herself about what show to watch when she got home, and then the other 5% actually watching him. Either she was underestimating him, or she hadn’t even wanted the job in the first place.

“A mercenary? I thought you were just a stalker who liked my pink hair and my abs?” he was teasing her, he realized. Natsu Dragneel did not tease. In the first place, he didn’t even bother with women. They were annoying, and if he got too close they’d call him drunk. His mind did a flashback to the night prior when his childhood friend Erza had called him out of the blue with enough alcohol in her system to kill a horse. Jellal had assured her safety before Natsu hung up, but that didn’t mean Natsu hadn’t been worried. He didn’t feel like dealing with that for some stranger.

“Can’t I be both? I am a stalker AND a mercenary.” They were nearly the same thing so he supposed she wasn’t wrong, but that didn’t make him happy about it.

“And here I thought I was special.” She laughed. It was a laugh he could get used to hearing. It was soft, and Natsu didn’t have soft things in his life; except for Happy. Speaking of, the cat was eyeing the blonde curiously. Curiosity killed the cat held quite a different meaning here.

“Ha—” he hadn’t even gotten the words from his mouth before the blue furball had launched itself right up on the counter, and the little shit even began to sniff her coffee. Sniffing her drink held no meaning to him, but if she hurt his cat she’d be nothing but blood splatter.

Lucy, as chill as she tried to appear, in the midst of her target immediately panicked. She moved from the counter and crossed over near the coffee pot. She set the mug down before approaching Happy and skritching behind his ears. He liked that apparently since his purring shook his body and was loud enough that she felt like it was echoing the entire room. She let out a breath of relief until she saw Natsu’s position. He was poised like a tiger ready to strike, and boy did his eyes emanate death. She supposed she should call it a night.

And she did. He made no move to attack her, and she made delicate movements to the balcony she’d entered from. A tight grip on the railing was all she needed to throw herself into the alleyway, and then she was moving with a speed she didn’t know she possessed. Still, he wouldn’t follow. Lucy Heartfilia took pride in her instincts, but she still couldn’t stop moving. Blood pounded in her head and her limbs screamed at her to never stop.

Lucy Heartfilia prided herself in her instincts. And her instincts told her to run.

----------------

She kept still, this time her body hidden behind a brick chimney. It was a shade of midnight black like her closest friend’s hair. She was whole-heartedly considering bringing Gray into this, but that would cut deep into her profit. She also wanted the glory of being E.N.D’s killer. It would bring in more jobs than she could physically handle. She nibbled her bottom lip as a feeling of excitement rushed through her body.

“Care for another cup?” his voice sounded into the dark, and she wondered if he’d seen her arrive or if he was just that attuned to his surroundings. She sank further into the shadows. Her blonde hair had always done wonders when seduction was an option, but she had always struggled with stealth missions. Especially now as the moonlight shone bright off her pale locks. She wondered if she’d look good as a brunette.

“Not gonna come down?” why’d he want her to? She may still be considered an heiress, but she wasn’t stupid. She wasn’t some trophy woman hanging on the arm of some boring man. She’d never fall for some stupid ploy.

“Huh? Weird. My instincts are never wrong.” He was mumbling to himself. He’d thought she was there, but he could have been wrong. Though, Natsu Dragneel was never wrong. He was the son of the great Igneel, and as such his training was second to none. Still, he could have sworn he saw strands of gold on the roof across from him just as he had the night she’d first joined him for coffee.

He’d scared her then. Maybe ‘scared’ was the wrong word, but she’d retreated under his gaze. He’d been absolutely sure of her intent to harm Happy, until after she’d left and he took a moment to actually consider the scenario. Mercenary for hire joins him for a cup of coffee – likely intending to catch an opening or study his movements – but she never takes a sip of the drink offered. Which he realized made sense. Mercenary hired to specifically kill him doesn’t take a single drink of the coffee offered to her by her target. Her target is him, the local mob boss’ son with specific training, and his reputation on the streets is one of incredible violence. She thought he’d try to poison her.

A fair thought when he went over the scenario in his head. However, that hadn’t really bothered him. It’s just that she’d abruptly moved from Happy, but then returned without cup in hand. He hadn’t quite noticed it then since he was under the impression that she’d harm anything to get at him. Except, her coffee. The missing link. Happy had gotten too close to the coffee, and she’d panicked because she thought it was poisoned.

“I’m a mercenary, not a monster.” Her words had repeated in his mind. She said that, but her face for a moment flickered to something darker. Perhaps, he’d imagined it but honestly he figured she was just a moment away from destroying something – anything.

Lucy wasn’t coming out of the shadows tonight, and she guessed she’d have to bring Gray in, but how she’d get him in was a different story. He did work undercover in a strip club for his current job, and she’d bet an entire mission’s worth of money that she could hire a show. The only issue was E.N.D himself. She wasn’t sure she could take him alone, but she was damn sure Gray would have a little trouble without a place to hide his weapon properly.

She shoved the thought aside for now. It would just have to wait for a bit while she studied. After all, she may not be as physically strong as other mercenaries, but she was intelligent. And damn if she didn’t know how to make a situation work for her.

------------------------------

It was another night with a missing blonde, Natsu mused. Or so he’d originally thought. He knew she was lurking in the night, and he was almost certain that yesterday she’d brought a friend. Yet, she still wasn’t taking this seriously. Her argument with her friend was nearly the same as the one she’d had with herself. They were arguing the semantics of which character of a show had the better power. It boiled down to some thunder guy named Laxus, and a man who could control the Earth itself. He learned after a rough screaming match that the man they decided to fold and choose was the former: Laxus. He still thought Jura had potential. That was the exact moment he’d decided to watch the show.

He’d barely caught the name in their screaming match, and he was currently binge watching it with the full intent of finishing the series to its current episode. Fuck, it was a damn good series. The sound of his porch door creaking open caused a smirk to grace his lips. Not that he didn’t have a reason for watching it in full view under his skylights.

“Finally gonna join me for that coffee?” he’d been waiting for her the entire time. He’d lured her here with something she was familiar with, and he’d hoped to at least apologize.

“You wish.” Natsu Dragneel hadn’t realized how much he’d wanted to hear her voice until that moment. He felt like he’d missed out on something the entire time she was gone.

“Then, why are ya here?” There were a million different answers that Lucy could give, but none were satisfactory.

‘I’ve come to kill you.’ Was one.

The other was rather devastating.

She’d spent so much time watching him that she came to like him. He seemed like a good guy who loved his cat, and simply wanted to live by himself. She’d watched his movements when he fought every assassin sent his way. She’d watched the demeanor of E.N.D become the demeanor of plain old Natsu at the end of every fight. He was like a different person when it came down to it.

They both were. Heiress Lucy Heartfilia the mercenary, and Heir of The Mob Natsu Dragneel had their own goals. Lucy who wanted to fall in love, and get married. Lucy who wanted to leave this life behind. Natsu who seemed to want to live in peace with his blue cat without having to worry about dying. They all had a wish, but there was no genie in a bottle for something like this.

“I have a penchant for men with pink hair and abs.” was all she said. She came around the couch to plop down beside him. Other than curling her knees to her chest she wasn’t really making any moves, but he didn’t think she even would. He hoped she wouldn’t anyway.

There was a loud mewl to Lucy’s right, and he knew it was that damn cat again.

Lucy shifted her position to being cross-legged instead of curled up to allow Happy a place to rest. The blue cat had readily accepted her into his life and she was hoping the pinkette would too. She let her mind trail aimlessly in thought as she stroked the small cat’s body without any ill intentions.

In the end, she’d turned down the job to kill E.N.D even though the money was enough to let her retire on some island in the middle of the ocean. Tenrou was mostly empty besides a few tourists here or there, and she felt comforted by the idea of an empty land to live out her days. Alas, her retirement would have to wait.

Natsu himself wasn’t worried about his predicament. He had two things to be happy about. One: his cat had taken a liking to the girl who’d considered murdering him. Two: the girl who’d considered murdering him was sitting on his couch watching her favorite show with him. He hadn’t realized he’d wanted this scenario until he was in it.

“Oh? So maybe I am special?” he was teasing her now. He’d gone back to teasing, and the blonde was giggling. This one wasn’t soft, it was a little loud, and sometimes it would mimic the sound of hiccups. He wanted to hear more of it.

“Who knows? What if I come across someone else with pink hair and abs?” it wouldn’t be unheard of in a party town like this, but that didn’t matter because none of them would be him. The idiot who argued with his own cat about feeding schedules and had ultimately lost. That had been her favorite scene.

“Damn. I guess I’d hafta kill him.” He said it so nonchalant that Lucy snorted before shaking her head in exasperation.

“You can’t kill everyone with pink hair, Natsu.” He could. He wouldn’t, but he could.

“Was that a challenge?” Natsu was more than aware that it wasn’t, but he was enjoying their conversation. It had a similar feeling to the first night they’d met. It was comfortable.

“You know it wasn’t.” still light-hearted banter. They were becoming quick friends it appeared. She couldn’t be happier than this moment as she stroked the soft fur of the sleeping cat cradled in her lap. It reminded her of the blanket her mother had gotten her when she was born, and the memory pricked at her heart.

She traced from his little pink nose to the top of his fragile skull. Honestly, if someone touched this furball she’d have to kill them mercilessly. Slender fingers traced circles before moving to his little ears. She rubbed one gently between her index finger and her thumb. The ears twitched relentlessly until she let go, and the cat gave an angry growl.

“How ferocious.” She mused before returning to the basic motions of petting an animal in a state of sleep. Soft enough to enjoy it, but not hard enough to wake it. The only issue now was that she couldn’t move until he left. Pet rules.

“Oh you don’t know the half of it. The little shit scratched me the other day when I didn’t pour his food fast enough.” She’d seen that from the roof. It’d been hilarious, and she’d laughed so hard she woke the neighbors.

“Oh? Who’s a good kitty?” she was using the pet voice on him now, “You are. You’re a good kitty.” She gave him an extra good chin rub before letting the cat be.

“Ya know.. You know my name, but I don’t know yours.” He was feeling out what he could get away with here. He wanted to know more about the elusive mercenary dressed in all black.

“It’s Lucy. Just Lucy.” No last name, he noticed. But not for the normal reasons a specialist hid their name. From the expression in her eyes there was nothing but fleeting hatred, and what was obviously a break down waiting to happen.

“Okay, Just Luigi.” She whipped around so fast with a look of disgust on her face.

“It’s Lucy! L-U-C-Y.” he was nearly laughing as she spelled out her own damn name. This woman was stubborn. He liked that. He liked a lot of things about her. Her laugh. The way she played with Happy. Her hair shining in the moonlight. The way she was decked in black, but he was so certain her closet was full of bright colors. They had to be just as bright as she was when she joked with him. When he looked at her all he could see was a normal life in a normal town with a normal house and his blue cat. They’d be surrounded by sunflowers the shade of her hair, and they’d never have to face another assassin again.

That wasn’t in either of their deck of cards. They both had too many red stains on their bodies for there to be any other option for them. What would they put on their resumes anyway?

‘Mercenary – xx years – will work for money’

‘Mob boss’ son – 21 years – will also work for money’

Neither of them were exactly qualified for what was considered acceptable to society. It was at that moment that Natsu Dragneel’s brain halted. He’d been thinking in terms of a future with this girl. The girl he barely knew who had spoken to him all of two times. Somehow, that really didn’t bother him much. It was the connotations behind the thoughts that had forced him to a stop, and caused him to panic. He wanted a future with her that included white picket fences, and stupid PTA meetings at a stupid high school.

“Natsu. We’ve got company.” Her voice snapped him out of it, and he stood quickly. His eyes seemed to haze over, and what had previously been a deep shade of forest green was now a dark onyx. She’d seen both of those looks. She’d seen the tender glances to the roof she sat upon, and the murderous rage that came to be when his homestead was threatened. Right now, she missed that shade of emerald that had comforted her when she’d come to his side tonight. Green meant safety, and midnight meant something wicked this way comes.

She recognized that this was not the best time to be quoting Macbeth, but honestly it felt right and she was not ashamed. Men came crashing through the skylights – those damned skylights – and she jumped out of the way falling glass with Happy in tow. He was hissing, and struggling to get free of her grip.

“Oh? A girl and a cat? This will be easier than I thought.” Lucy grit her teeth, and backed up slowly. There was a bedroom door behind her, and if she could just get this damn cat behind it they’d be fine.

It took a lot of struggling, and Natsu wailing on the assailants with bloodied fists clenched before she finally shoved the cat in the room. She was cursing the fur ball internally, because goddamnit why couldn’t it just go behind the door? Regardless, she was free to join in the mostly finished escapade in front of her. Natsu was down to the last guy, and she was ready to pounce once the opportunity arose. Mostly, she just wanted to hit something. She had been in such a calm state before they’d come crashing through the glass.

She’d been thinking of him. His hair was bright pink – her favorite color if she was being honest – and he had abnormally long canines which had made her uncomfortable at first, but then she found they were kinda cute. Especially, when he smiled. When he smiled it was like the sun was shining, except she didn’t hate these rays. She loved them. It made her think of what normal would be like. Would normal be a small home in some small town in the prairies? Would normal be waking up at 10 a.m. and not being exhausted from watching people from the roof tops? Would normal be waking up to snoring, and pink hair shoved into her neck with a blue cat trying to suffocate her? Would normal be eating breakfast with a certain pinkette shoveling food down his throat because he was late for work again?

What would normal be? She didn’t know how families worked, but she wanted stupid high schools, and PTA meetings with hotheaded soccer moms. She wanted all of that. So when she saw the red dot on his back she was moving before she’d even realized what was happening. Her hand reached out, and her voice screamed out a warning that she couldn’t hear. It was all drowned out by the pounding of her heart so loud in her chest, and the adrenaline rushing through her veins.

So, she dove.

He was turning as fast as he could, because maybe that meant he’d be quick enough to move out of the way if he could catch the trajectory. The sound of the gun cracked in the air, and glass shattered as the bullet came crashing through his happy ending. Just like that her body fell to the ground with a deafening thud, and it wasn’t long before blood filled the space around her like a lake. If he could find the wound maybe he could stop the bleeding. He could still save their future.

“No. No. No. No. No. Please no.” he whispered over, and over again like he was saying a prayer to something – anything – that would hear his pleas. He’d never been so desperate for a fairy tale ending until he’d met her. He thought anything was possible as long as they were together.

The bullet was lodged deep into her back, and it was not a through and through no matter how much he wished it was.

“C’mon Luce, ya gotta stay with me here.” She was in and out of consciousness, and could barely catch his words. He was fighting her death like he’d fought Happy. It was a losing battle just like then. Her hand twitched, and she barely had the energy to lift just a single limb. She persevered, and her fingers grazed his cheek. A hand gripped hers tightly as a signal that they were there. That everything would be alright.

It wouldn’t be. There was no genie in a bottle to keep her from leaving him. Her eyes flickered open, and finally she was able to see him. It was for a fleeting moment, but still the smile that graced her lips was the happiest he’d ever seen. But he didn’t want that under these circumstances. He’d wanted that in their stupid house, in their stupid town, at a stupid PTA meeting.

Lucy was merely happy that he was okay, and hopefully unhurt. Most of all, his eyes were the color of leaves in the spring. She was leaving the world in his arms, and that was enough for her. Even if she’d wanted their future she was okay with being the past if it meant he’d live.

They were insane after all to think that after all this time they could live a normal, happy life.

@not-just-any-fangirl you know I know for who? I might not. I'm horrible at guessing. Is it nalu? Did I guess right?😉

Offer me- one character giving another a gift

Lucy paused at the door, her fingers barely skimming the cold handle to her apartment. Her eyes were pulled down to slits, as they have been for the past few days and now she had a sneaking suspicion that they'd stay that way for quite some time, glaring at anyone who crossed her path. Not that she really had a problem with it. That plus her newly pierced ears meant that'd she'd be twinning with Gajeel.

But fuck, she was tired.

When she wasn't working, she was studying. When Lucy wasn't studying she was working. The papers in the bag strapped to her shoulder were an uncomfortable weight - unorganized, crumpled and always tauntingly reminding her of the next thing she should be doing. It was only by the grace of God that nothing went missing yet,or the will of the devil. Lucy hadn't decided to be honest.

She blew out a frustrated breath, causing the few hair strands that'd slipped free of her ponytail to tickle her nose. The days were starting to blend together. What was it, Tuesday? Thursday? Some other day that started with a 'T'? Lucy wasn't sure, all she knew was that whatever today was, was cut a few hours short by Natsu who'd only sent a simple text saying 'come home. Surprise waiting :D'

Now that could mean anything. Nothing bad of course, but occasionally it could be something with good intentions gone a little bad. Either way Lucy was glad for it, she hadn't seen much of him these past few days. Between her hectic schedule and his late hours they mostly saw each other briefly in the mornings.

Plus her boss was starting to get to her, and she was this close to decking him in the face.

Speaking of her boyfriend, Lucy dropped her hand fully on the handle turning it all the way when her ears picked up on soft shuffling just beyond the door. Mechanically it swung open and she was met with the lovely sight of Natsu's ass, him being half bent over trying and grab at Happy who was winding through his legs.

He dodged through his legs with a smug meow and raced over to Lucy, purring happily as Natsu looked after him with a pout, hair falling into his eyes. But it quickly disappeared when his eyes met hers.

She clicked the door shut. "Love the surprise." Lucy said dryly, stooping slightly to scratch Happy. "When can I play with it?"

"Sooner than later, if you play nice." He responded cheekily, straightening to his full height. Natsu sauntered over to her with an amused grin, pressing a chaste kiss to her lips. "Welcome home."

He absently toyed with the strands near her cheek before gently tugging the bag off her shoulder, holding it to the side with a look of playful disgust, like it radiated some sort of evil.

"You look like you had loads of fun today." Natsu teased, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, pulling her to his side. Natsu played with the hem of her shirt, walking her further inside. "Glad I planned the surprise for today."

"And what sort of surprise are we talking here, oh my god-"

She should've seen it, they'd only walked about 3 steps in though Lucy supposes she could blame her squinty eyes for poor vision at the moment. But the living room, the living room.

Blankets as far as the eye could see littered the floor and draped over every surface, the sofa was absolutely nowhere to be seen under the mountain of soft comforts. Honestly Lucy didn't even think that they owned this many blankets, or cushions to completely transform the room into a trip safe zone.

Though some of them looked suspiciously new Lucy noted as Natsu settled her down, tossing her bag to the side. "Natsu what the hell." She deadpanned, sinking into the softness.

"Wait! Hold that thought!" He ducked away around the corner and raced back before she could even blink properly. One arm held a precarious pile of snack that looked ready to topple over any moment and the other had his laptop, whirring softly as it booted up.

" I got snacks to hold you over until dinner's all warmed up. I went down to your favourite Indian place to get you curry. And I spent the whole day stealing movies off the internet for us to watch. I got all the hobbits, civil war, zootopia and your favourite disney princesses." Natsu plopped down next to her, letting the bags of chips fall haphazardly around them as he set the laptop properly down.

"I didn't really know what you'd want to drink so I got rum, soda, apple juice and water. The choice is yours." He finished explaining with a shrug, grabbing the bag of lays by his thigh and popping it open.

"Natsu this is real nice and all but why?" Lucy asked in confusion.

"For you to relax Lucy. Duh." Natsu said pointedly. "You've been pushing yourself way too hard with everything so I figured I should give you a break."

"I-"

"And before you try to make an excuse, when was the last time you slept a full night? " Lucy's mouth snapped shut. She couldn't remember.

Natsu hummed. "And the last time you did something other than what's been written down in your bag?" She couldn't remember that either.

"Ate the last time you ate something? " A-ha! There something she remembers!

Today was Thursday right? "Wednesday! " Lucy said confidently with a smile. Natsu shot her an incredulous look, a look not often sent her way but she knew it well enough, a pierced brow raised high.

"It's Friday Luce." He said flatly."That was 2 days ago." Oh so that's what day it was.

"We've both been doing a lot lately and we both need to slow it down a bit, but it looks like you need it more than I do. Not meaning to be rude but you look ready to drop any moment. And between you and be...."

He motioned for her to come closer and Lucy leaned in to hear his whisper. "The dark circles under your eyes are getting bigger and that's no good Luce."

He narrowly missed the suspiciously new looking cushion she threw at him with a giggle, tossing aside the chip bag. He ducked under her outstretched arm and wrapped his arms round her middle, pulling her down with a squeak. He rolled them over, shuffling Lucy to rest on top of him and she fisted his shirt with a pout.

"Ok maybe I shouldn't have said that part but you get what I mean. You need this, and even if you don't want too," his arms tightened on her, " I'll keep you here and force you to relax."

Natsu paused." Ok well I wouldn't really force, just bargain a lot..." He murmured.

Lucy pet out a resigned sigh, dropping herself on his chest. She couldn't even think of a lie or any sort of excuses for him to hear. She wanted this, to stop for a bit and ignore what she had to do. It was only fair to herself. And it was Friday, the day she's supposed to take it easy.

"You won't have to force. I'll relax. But don't get mad at me if I fall asleep on you."

"I'll be glad that you did." Natsu rumbled. She could hear the smile in his voice. Lucy inhaled deeply,eyes pulled to a close and sinking further into his warmth. He was right. She did need this.

Lucy inhaled again, and her eyes snapped open. "Natsu, the curry." She whispered in horror.

"Shit."

"Enjoy the magic this holiday season by listening to music and enjoying the occasion with the people that you care for most."

(Source Unknown)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the day before Christmas

Bells as as the divine as heavenly choir of an angels rang out

All the fairies were fluttering about preparing to deck the walls with care this way and that

For when the clock struck twelve, off to Lucy's Team Natsu's and company would go for some holiday cheer

Jubilant laughter ,clinking of glasses, jolly salutations of "Merry Christmas" filling the air

all fun and games until low and behold the girls succumbed to the mercy of far too much sake running through their veins

much to the dread of the red-blooded males , hearts stricken with terror

An firecesome Titania, demanding queen of the Fairies, an unholy she- beast of intoxicated fury An insensate sky maiden , might as well be dead to the world for throwing three sheets to the wind from all the spirits she's consumed

An overly-sentimental Juvia of the sea

tears flowing like a gushing torrent of rain ️

breathing new life into that cliched rhyme: "The rain ️ in Spain."

Arms latching on tightly to a terrified ice demon slayer.

An unusually giddy Levy,

lady of solid script magic runes, future mother of her and Gajeel's child , seemingly leaning in for a kiss .

Only to burst into tinkly peals of laughter in his face

A disgraced Happy and Pantherlily who might as well been

a pair of wild stallions for all the demanding daughter of Queen Shaggot could care

A mortified Salamander underneath a just as zany celestial mage,

And yet deep down he can't help but subconsciously find her antics to be oh-so endearing to But oh, what little could the shenanigans, the antics, the hi-jinks could compare

For how could they know what the fates would have in store

when the all too gleeful Erza, the ruthless beast,

would suggest her high-stakes round of "Master Draw"

A game so notorious, that only fools with the buzz of firewater singing through their veins would dare play

One stick, one draw, winner take all

Whoever didn't have the best would be at the mercy of the chosen's one thrall

And who would have guessed who might be the one to win it all?

Why Erza of course, low and behold!

A wily gleam in fathomless depths of violet , madness ensues Pleas for mercy, canine-like yips and barks filling the air

Random awkward embraces

An infuriated storm woman's jealous rage

Absurd ensembles,

stripping down to nothing more than underwear in the cold

A sexy dance by the Son of Igneel himself in the nude or two,

the most discomfiting lock of lips from two of the exceeds who may just keel over and die in of their own shame.

A sensation of blazing ️ wax on the poor astral mage's flesh

Three grown young men doing everything in their power to cram themselves into spaces no average human being should ever dare to fit

All this, debauchery galore and more, all at Titania's fellow wizards expense

But oh, little did she know,the time for revenge would come

The dread hour nigh, when the ice demon slayer finally drew his own stick,

For out in in the snow a scantily-clad, fiery redhead would boldly dare to go,

in spite of Gray's protests

A decision she would soon some to regret

But fear not, all is not lost, for salvation is at hand in the form of Jellal

a king finally come to take his long- lost queen home

and swathed in the warmth of his cloak,

Erza along with the rest learns right then and there

that a day of warm tidings and day spent with those she loves makes for a very Fairytail Christmas indeed.
