Are you guys ready for the crack-ship fics?!
Mard Geer stands in front of Lucy, roughly grabbing her chin. Tears stream down her face, but other than that, nobody would suspect that the blonde is about to die. Her eyes still hold determination- her resolve has not changed.
It is almost enough to make Mard Geer angry, but he is still intrigued. She should be grateful- her queer behavior is the only thing keeping her alive.
"How can you still look at me like that?" He inquires, throwing her chin to the side. He raises a brow when she doesn't respond, and circles her. A low hum escapes him and he stops his pacing. Lucy's head is still in the position Mard Geer set it in.
"Don't make me repeat myself, human."
She lifts her head, her thin lips turned into an angry snarl. Mard can see why Master E.N.D took such a big interest in this human- Mard couldn't help but feel curious.
"You can kill me, torture me, it doesn't matter." She hisses.
"Why is that?"
"Because Natsu will come and save me, and kick your ass." Her voice is laced in confidence, and Mard Geer feels something he hasn't felt for a long time.
He feels… entertained.
His low chuckle is unsettling, and Lucy purses her lips, no doubt wary of the small twinkle in his eye.
"So he went by the name of Natsu…" He murmurs. He delivers a kick to Lucy's side, smiling as she cries out in pain. The force would have set her flying, but his thorns hold her in place.
"Your 'Natsu'," another kick, "doesn't exist."
"You don't know what you're talking about!" She protests, wiping blood onto her shoulder. "You're just a book! A spawn of Zeref!"
He kicks her again. "Yes, I live to serve Zeref and my master, Master E.N.D." He leans in close, his mouth grazing her ear. "Do you know what E.N.D stands for?"
She doesn't respond, and instead headbutts him with all her might. Mard stumbles backwards, his brows furrowed in annoyance. But his smile remains on his face- his Master has awoken, he has won. He will not let a stupid, but interesting, human grate on his nerves any more than he already let her.
Her whole guild is such a nuisance.
The roses on Lucy's wrists and legs tighten, causing her to bend backwards even further. She lets out a cry of pain. Her scream is as lovely as her face- a pure, innocent scream with that human touch of defiance and resistance.
He absolutely loves it.
The thorns stop moving, and Lucy pants, staring up at the sky. Mard can't help but feel inspired to do so as well, and he, soon, also stares at the twinkling stars.
"These are the stars you control, correct?" He asks, his voice softened. The calm night has a soothing effect on him, and he once again falls back into his state of emotionless bliss.
"Why would you care?" She snarls.
"I am sure you humans care for far more things than I." He retorts, before looking back to Lucy. "I suppose Master wouldn't mind if I keep you, hm?"
"I'd rather die."
"It's not your decision to make." He bends down, once again, grabbing Lucy's pouch. "You don't need these, now do you?"
He slides the belt down to her thighs, before ripping off the pouch from the belt.
"Give me back my keys!" She screeches, struggling against her thorns. "You can do anything to me, but do not lay a hand on them!"
"Or what?" He chuckles. He opens the pouch, standing up so Lucy can see him. "Hm, many gold keys. What's this one?"
He holds out a key in front of Lucy. "Tell me the name, or I'll break it."
"Leo! It's Leo! Now give it back!"
He smirks, before snapping the golden key.
"No!" Lucy screeches. Tears stream down her face as loud sobs rack her body.
He decides that he enjoys Lucy being alive- he hasn't had this much fun in a while. Another key breaks. And another. And another. All of the broken pieces litter the floor around her, until none are left.
But her tears aren't enough- he wants to see her broken.
"I suppose we do have one thing in common." He says, but Lucy ignores him. "Guilds, are they called? It's funny- your Master is dead, and mine has been revived!"
He yanks her chin towards him. "Look at me when I speak to you. I'm sure my Master would enjoy seeing you as much as I do. You are very, very interesting."
"Leave me alone…" She whispers, causing Mard to triumphantly smile. The poor girl is losing her mind, because of him. And he will enjoy himself with it until she is dead. "Nonsense. My Master is quite busy right now, slaughtering your friends and whatnot, so I suppose I will have to inform you of his identity. Master E.N.D: the most powerful demon Zeref as ever created. And his name is Etherious Natsu Dragneel."
Her sobs stop. "What…?"
But he doesn't answer, because he is gone. He slams the cell door behind him as he walks out of the room, laughing to himself as her desperate screams slowly faded.
Maybe it's because she had the nerve to summon the Spirit King to fight against him. How stupid was she to think that his old rival could even come close to the power he achieved over the past years. What cost did she pay so that she could have a single chance of saving her friends and defeating him?
'A human's foolishness', he concludes, is the reason for his misfortune. Their persistence, especially the blonde's, led to nothing but their defeat and yet that girl could still speak with that much confidence? Their arrogance far outweighs his.
No matter, though. As long as they're kept in chains until Face is complete, everything should run smoothly.
What he doesn't understand, though, is that as long as they're alive, Fairy Tail will ensure that nothing runs smooth for those trying to hurt their family.

Yay! Mard Geer and Lucy brotp time! XD That wasn't a brotp at all. Mard Geer is probably my favorite character in the Fairy Tail series, so I had to write something about him!
