AN: This is my first fanfiction, and my first time really writing anything that's not an essay so this will probably be pretty shit. Contains Yuri stuff, cannot guarantee regular uploads, and I do not own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters
Prologue
Lucy had always admired Erza, how could she not? Everything Erza does is with such grace and beauty that someone would be a fool to not be impressed. The first time she had met the scarlet haired mage she had asserted so much authority that she managed to pacify the extremely rambunctious guild that even Master Mackarov had trouble controlling. From just that Lucy new that Erza was amazing, and after being involved in many missions alongside the S-Class mage her admiration kept on growing.
The point where Lucy new that her feelings were getting beyond mere admiration was the point where she saw Erza Scarlett naked. The team had decided to take a break and that of course involved a spa, so the girls decided to let of some steam in hot bath. It was rather odd for Erza to be bathing in her armour so when Lucy questioned her she decided that, though she was more comfortable in her armour, her birthday suit would be more appropriate for the current situation.
That was when the attraction started. Whilst some of Erza's armour left little to the imagination, Lucy had never imagined Erza's body to be so perfect. Her face looked amazing in the low lighting of the outside bath, her smooth skin beautifully contrasted with her scarlet hair, her curves were the definition of perfection, her chest, her legs, her everything. Everything about her stirred new emotions inside her, but even though they were foreign she knew exactly what they were. She couldn't think straight due to the force of attraction she was experiencing, the image of the goddess in front of her would be imprinted in her mind every day for a long time.
Of course Lucy then realised she was ogling at her like Master Mackarov ogles at the weekly sorcerer models, so needed to speak actual words to distract her inner thoughts. Unfortunately the words that came out were "you're even amazing when you're naked, Erza!', and whilst that is completely true she had not meant to be so forward with her thoughts, and it certainly did not help with changing the subject in her mind. Luckily Erza had made a joke at that point, all be it a slightly shocking joke, but at least she wasn't reduced to a complete blubbing mess. Since that time she had seen Erza naked again one another time, which was the first time she had seen Erza's place. And unfortunately Erza had seen her in a state of undress too many times. Lucy had no qualms with Erza seeing her naked but she always hoped that it would be in a different setting.
Lucy's affection had grown deeper and deeper over time no matter how hard she tried to calm it. The affection had soon turned into love, because everything that Erza did was just so right, whether it be protecting her nakama, standing up for the things she believed in, being awkward or cute, being kind or commanding, nothing she did was wrong and everything she did managed to make Lucy's heart ache with love. After the events of the Grand Magic games with Erza slipping into Lucy's bed at night she was starting to get overwhelmed by her feelings. She knew that Erza had a thing for Jellal so the past year or so had been very difficult on her, it's hard loving someone so much but knowing that there is no chance of them loving you back. One thing she had learnt from her time at Fairy Tail was that you should never suffer in silence, so she knew she had to talk about it with someone. So one beautiful morning Lucy decided to trek through magnolia, to the guild hall, to talk to an expert on these matters. Mirajane Strauss.
