Authors Note- Well, what do we got here looks like Black Jack is contributing another fanfic to her list. This time one for the Fairy Tail fandom. Now before we get on with fanfic I would like to inform you that this is my first Fairy Tail fanfic so I apologize if it's not the greatest. Now that we got that out of the way I don't own Fairy Tail that belongs to Hiro Mashima.
I am merely borrowing the characters for my own amusement. Anyway without further ado here is Chapter one of A Princess And Her Knight. I hope you enjoy.
Lucy yawned as she stretched her arms over her head, as she slowly made her way towards the guild. Plue following close behind her as she finally reached the guild, and pulled the doors open, and was greeted by the all too familiar sight of chaos through out the guild. And right there in middle of it all were the two possible guys who that were no doubt responsible for it. Gray and Natsu, Lucy heaved a sigh as she watched the two of them lunge at each other. Flames and ice everywhere as Lucy and Plue carefully made their way towards the bar, where a smiling Mira stood with a few other wizards who had refused to join the fray.
"So," Lucy spoke, as she took a seat at the bar. "Who instigated this fight? And for what reason?"
Mira offered her a smile, before turning her gaze back to the fight. "To be quite honest I haven't the slightest idea. But you know those two."
At that Lucy nodded, knowing all too well what Mira was talking about. Looking over her shoulder she cried out as a bar stool flew over her head. However it wasn't long before there was a sound of the guild doors flying open, causing the fighting to cease as Erza stood in the door way, a stern look on her face.
Upon seeing the armoured wizard Lucy felt her heart skip a beat, as she watched the red head walk into the guild. Watching as she began to scold Natsu and Gray, Lucy couldn't help but find herself intrigued by the woman. If intrigued was a right word, that is. Watching as Erza managed to disperse the fight before moving to join Lucy at the bar, a tired sigh escaping her lips as she eased herself in the seat beside her.
"Don't you ever get tired of keeping order at the guild, Erza?" Lucy inquired, resting her head on her fist as she looked to her companion.
Erza let out a laugh as she turned to the celestial wizard before looking to the now rather quiet guild. "I will admit it does get rather tedious, but..." She turned back to Lucy, a soft smile on her lips, a serene look in her chocolate brown eyes. "I wouldn't change it for the world."
Lucy nodded in agreement as Mira set a strawberry milkshake in front of Lucy and a piece of strawberry cake in front of Erza. Lucy let out a low moan as she took the first sip before looking to Erza once more.
"So, you just got off a job, right? What kind of job was it?"
Erza thought for a moment, as she looked to Lucy. Taking in the younger girls features, taking in the sight of her blonde hair, warm brown eyes and soft pink lips, before those lips parted and Lucy spoke her name again. Blinking a few times Erza met her gaze.
"Sorry." She apologized. "What were you saying?"
"I asked you what was the job you took this time around."
"I took a job vanquishing a large serpent that was terrorizing a town to the north of here. I must say that it was a bit of a challenge, the creature was rather formidable it ended up ruining two of my suits of armour, and," Erza gestured to the bloody bandage on her left arm.
"It almost got a hold of me. Thankfully the residents of that town knew how to counteract the creatures venom quickly."
Lucy's eyes settled on the bandage, taking in the slightly irritated looking skin. Hissing through her teeth she looked to Erza again. "That looks pretty nasty, are you feeling all right?" she asked.
Erza nodded, her hand running over the bandage. "Well, I am feeling a little under the weather, but nothing I haven't endured before. But enough about me, how have things been since I've been gone? How have things been with Natsu and Gray, hopefully nothing too serious, I hope?"
Lucy sighed, and turned to where Natsu was sitting with Lisanna and Happy chatting nonstop about something. Then she turned her gaze to where Gray sat, not surprisingly half naked and in the presence of the Love-struck Juvia. She then turned back to Erza.
"Do you want the long version or the short version?" she asked, and was a rewarded by a smile from Erza.
"I take it that it is a sign that they over did it again?"
Nodding Lucy sighed. "The people who hired us complained that we had done more damage that the people we were fighting against. So... as you imagine we didn't get paid. Which meant no rent money, and to be honest as much as I love the team I think I might take a solo job." And with that Lucy stood up and headed towards the job board, standing next to Nab. Who, as always never seemed to be able to find a job to his liking.
Erza moved to follow her, leaving her cake untouched. "What kind of job are you feeling?" Erza asked, as she watched the blonde scan the board.
Her eyes lighting up as she spotted a job at the very top of the board. Reaching for it she struggled to grab it, when someone taller snatched it from her grasp.
Looking up she was greeted by the sight of Gajeel, as he handed the sheet of paper to Levy, who scanned the paper before flashing Lucy and apologetic smile. "Sorry, Lu but I've been eyeing this job for a while now." Levy told her.
"And let me guess...You're taking Gajeel with you?" Lucy commented, noting the faint blush dusting the Solid Script mages cheeks, as well as the Iron Dragon slayers face. As much as I would have loved a job like that the last thing I'm going to to do get in their way if they want some time alone. She thought, as she watched the two of them walk off.
Jet and Droy watched as Levy disappeared out the door, leaving them to mope.
"How about this one?" Erza suggested, pulling another flyer off the board, and showed it to her. Watching as Lucy's eyes lit up, as she read the paper, and Erza couldn't help but smile as Lucy read it out loud, a tinge of excitement in her voice that caused Erza's heart to skip a beat at the sound.
The job request was one from a client in the town of Obstone. However the client had stated that whenever his men would go out to deliver certain goods to places they would end up getting ambushed by bandits that were in the area. After reading it Lucy lowered the paper, and began to worry at her bottom lip, uncertainty shining in her eyes.
"Are you all right?" Erza asked.
"Well, as awesome as this job sounds I don't think I would fair well against of group of bandits." Lucy told her.
"If you'd like," Erza said, placing a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "I could accompany you."
"Are you sure?" Lucy asked. "I mean you just got off a job, not to mention you're hurt." She added, gesturing to the bandage on Erza's arm.
Waving it off Erza smiled at her reassuringly. "This is nothing, and besides I've always wanted to visit Obstone, I've heard many things about it, and of the many different types of gems that could be found there."
There was a certain light in Erza's eyes that made Lucy wonder why anyone would say no. She certainly wasn't wasn't going to refuse her service. After all this job would definitely go far smoother with her by her side.
"Alright!" Lucy said. "I'll go with you, at least I know you won't decimate the entire town to take out a few bandits. And hey it might be fun."
Satisfied with her answer Erza turned away with the paper in hand, as she walked over to Mira. Informing the other woman that she and Lucy would be taking a job tomorrow, and would be gone for several days.
Nodding Mira looked to Lucy, who's gaze remained glued on Erza. Once the reequip mage was done speaking with Mira she returned to Lucy.
"We leave tomorrow around noon, I hope to see you there at the train station." And with that she walked off, leaving Lucy alone in the crowded guild.
Edit- And here is the first chapter of The Princess and Her Knight. I know it's not greatest start to a story but I tried. Also this is my first femmeslash fanfic as well, so yeah figured I'd put that out there if I haven't already done so.
Also I will also let you know is that I am a notoriously slow writer due to work and other such things. Just figured I'd let you guys know. And with that don't forget to R/r and this is Black Jack signing off.
