Slightly edited. Just read through some of the chapters and found quite a lot of mistakes and whatnot so I edited some parts. Though I have no idea where my mind was when I wrote this story. It's so ridiculous and exaggerated xD but I think I'll continue writing since I make myself crack up from my own hilarity and stupidity. Lol.
Disclaimer I don't own FT or any of it's characters.
Chapter 1: Let's do it.
Lucy groaned and rolled her eyes as Cana kept fueling her fantasies about a certain pink haired male. Why couldn't she stop with all the glory details so Lucy could not have livid images of her and Natsu Dragneel acting out any of Cana's scenarios. Her patience was getting thin and her face sported an unhealthy shade of red.
"Please stop! No more. Please stop the tortur!" She flailed her hands and looked at the grinning Card mage, who was not one bit flustered of her own story or was it experience. Lucy would go for the latter. They had been too detailed and made her feel like she was actually the one who had experienced it.
"Getting sexually frustrated, eh?" The mage raised an eyebrow, her smirk never leaving her lips.
"S-shut up! It's afternoon and nobody wants to here about your night activities with Laxus!" Lucy huffed embarrassed of how her friend read her spot on.
She was indeed sexually frustrated even though she was a freaking virgin! She hadn't even kissed a boy and her mind was locked on third base and it was all thanks to the card mage, the exposed bodies of men she met as a mage and recently her very own best friend and partner.
"Cheer up. Once the cherry is popped you'll thank me for all the advice I provided. Especially how to handle the lust of a dragon slayer." Cana's grinned and glanced at a certain direction and Lucy's head followed her line of sight and groaned once again quickly looking away.
"I hate you!" At the moment she really did. The card mage laughed tauntingly and rubbed it in, and that was enough for Lucy to leave her side. Ugh, I hate her!
"Yo, Luce let's do a job!" Natsu just had the worse timing ever. Lucy didn't know how to face him, not without getting any disturbing images in her head but she couldn't ignore him that's unfair for the clueless slayer. She sighed and turned around with a small forced smile and shook her head. "Not in the need of more money nor in the mood. Sorry."
She turned around leaving the slayer and the guild. Right now she needed a cold shower and needed to focus on something else. Perhaps her novel that she had neglected for some weeks now? Yes, her novel was a perfect distraction.
"You okay, Luce?" Lucy sighed annoyed. Couldn't he see how frustrated she was and wanted to go home so she could take that damn cold shower? Curse you Cana and your stupid perverted mind! And fuck you sexually frustration and Natsu's hot body! She screamed inside her head when she saw her partner's almost exposed upper body.
Could she win the temptations or would she fall in? She couldn't so she grabbed Natsu's wrist and dragged him hurriedly to her apartment. She knew she was so going to regret it but Cana and her words just made it seem so good.
"Wha-what's going on Luce? Where we going?" He asked really confused and afraid? Was the almighty Natsu Dragneel afraid of little Lucy Heartfilia? How amusing. Lucy inwardly laughed but didn't say anything not until they were in her apartment.
"Natsu. You and I are going to do it? Understand?" She spoke with confidence and it was more demanding than asking for permission. But she needed him. She really needed him to let go of her stupid frustrations.
Natsu looked at her quizzically. What did she mean? Do it? Do what? His brain couldn't keep up with the questions in his mind and Lucy saw his confusion. She smirked and pulled him over to her bed and pushed him on it.
"Sex, Natsu. Sex. We are both going to have sex. You and me. Got it?" she blushed just a tiny bit when she explained her action and what to come of it. And Natsu's reaction was priceless. His head was on fire. Literally. And he was all red. It was cute and amusing.
"WHA?! WHAT! WHY? HOW?! LUCY ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" He was stuttering like an cute idiot blabbering words and he had a small nosebleed. Lucy grinned and leaned forward invading his personal space though cautious since his head was still on fire.
"Because I need you. I'm horny you know. And I think only you can satisfy me but if you don't want me I'll ask Loke or Gray." She tried to pull her ultimate card and hook him and it worked.
"What?! No, no! I won't let ice prick or the stupid lion touch you like that but I don't want to touch you like that either. We are nakama and best friends and I heard you only have s-se – that thing – with people you like or love." Lucy didn't like his explanation. Couldn't he just accept her and do her like her dreams and fantasies that the oh so kind Cana Alberona had implanted in her mind. Was it really that hard? Any hotblooded teenage boy would accept her offer so why couldn't he?
"So you don't like or love me huh? Fine. Go. I don't need you. I'll just die of frustration! Go and don't come back!" she yelled annoyingly and got up from her bed and sprinted to her bathroom and quickly looked the door. Before she realized it she was crying and sobbed loudly. So he didn't find her diserable enough to have sex with her. She was offering her fucking virginity to him and he didn't want it.
"Luce please don't cry. I just don't think this is a good idea. It's hard to explain but us dragon slayers have mates and I can't do that thing with you. Only with my mate. So sorry. Please don't cry." What he just told her broke her heart to gazillion pieces. He couldn't be with her because of his mate? She wasn't his mate obviously, he just told her. "W-who?" she whispered with a strained voice. She had an idea of who but she wanted to hear it from him.
"I don't know exactly but I think it's Lisanna." He whispered the name afraid it hurt her move. But she heard it. She didn't say or do anything. She was frozen stiff. Lisanna, just as I thought. The day she came home with us from Edolas was perhaps the happiest I saw Natsu. It all makes sense. Lucy you have an unrequited love for your best friend. You best friend. That's what you'll forever be. A friend.
She wiped her tears away and waited a few seconds before controlling her breathing and opened the door looking at a sad pink haired slayer. He looked hurt and guilty at the same time. But she ignored him and went to her keys and pulled Loke's key out and called him out.
"What can I do for you my princess?" the lion spirit asked while smirking seductively at his master. Lucy smiled and hugged him before whispering something in his ear something that the Dragon slayer heard loud and clear and he immediately began protesting.
"You can't be serious?! Lucy come on! Because I didn't want you?" Natsu wailed incredulously.
"It shall be done my princess." Loke said and disappeared ignoring the slayer and a few seconds later Virgo arrived and began what she had been told by her older brother while the slayer kept protesting.
"Go Natsu. I am truly sorry for coming onto you like that but my feelings got the better of me and knowing that we don't stand a chance I will leave the guild and forget my feelings for you. I'll take this opportunity to train as well. So from this day onwards I will leave Team Natsu, our partnership and no longer be Lucy of Fairy Tail. I'm a coward and like always I'm running away." She smiled and kissed his cheek before leaving her apartment to seek the Master. Though she knew it would be hard convincing the old man but she would try.
She knew she was being dramatic. Who leaves just because of a rejection? Apparently she does. She's embarrassed and hurt. And stupid too.
"You are a coward! That's not the Lucy I know!" Natsu pursuit her but Lucy ignored him. She had already embarrassed herself enough today so she didn't want to cause a scene in the streets where all residents knew her too well and Natsu too. She began running but knew it was futile. The slayer was and will always be stronger than her. He caught up to her and grabbed her tightly – hurting her slightly – and yanked towards him, facing him. He was angry. Like really angry.
"Natsu, let go of me now or else I'll resort to violence. I. Am. Serious." She was hurt and angry. Not at him, no, at herself. She was so weak and a coward. Running away from her problems yet again. Really pathetic. But right now she would rather be pathetic and cowardly than stay there and hurt herself and her heart more.
Natsu didn't let go. He was determined to talk her out of leaving the guild because of what happened. It was embarrassing that he understood but it didn't mean that she had to quit the guild because of that. They would laugh at it in the future, right? When they were old and had each a family. How wonderful would that be? He inwardly smiled picturing an older version of himself next to an older version of Lucy reading to some kids. It was cute.
He shouldn't have drifted off because that made him loose his grip and gave Lucy the opportunity use her most powerful Lucy-kick ever. Right in his chest. If you had dragon senses you could hear a bone cracking, or two. Natsu was flown quite a feet away and the air was knocked out of him completely. It was even harder breathing and it hurt like a bitch.
Lucy took this opportunity to run to the guild. She entered hurriedly and ignored the stares of her guildmates and ran upstairs to the Master's office. She hurriedly told her a short version of her story and promised she would come back and become a Mage both she, Fairy Tail and Master could become proud. Though he told her that he already was proud of her Lucy was steadfast on leaving and eventually got permission but she was giving a maximum time period. Four years max. She quickly agreed, afraid a certain dragon slayer would barge in and ruin everything.
Master removed her guild temporarily but with a different spell. "With this little spell you'll know when your time's up. The mark of the four years. So I hope I see you in four years time. Stronger and happier." She nodded and gave him a hug after he recited the guild's farewell motto. That made her cry.
She went downstairs again and ran out with many guild members calling her out but she ignored all. She called Virgo out. The spirit had packed everything and left her belongings in the spirits world.
"The train station then?" she asked her spirit and received a nod and a gentle smile. She smiled back despite her tears and they both ran to Magnolia's train station and purchased one ticket to the first train that arrived.
"Huh? The Wicked Forest?" the name gave her the chills. A wicked forest sounded dangerous and dark but she had to start somewhere. She had to be strong.
"So will you tell me what happened now?" Loke suddenly appeared and startled the poor blonde. She hit his head and screamed at him. "Don't just appear like that! Damn cat!"
"But I'll tell you. Don't laugh. It's embarrassing enough." She said and began with telling what happened between her and Natsu and how he rejected her and told her she stood no chance with him. And that she felt the need to escape everything hence why she ran away.
"Wow, he rejected you like that. Damn I though he was dense as fuck but to actually tell you he has a mate and he can't have sex with you. Damn. How about me? I could take care of your needs?" he ended his sentence with a seductive smirk but got his cheeks pinched as fast as his smirk formed.
"Don't even try! Or else I'll tell the old Mustache dude about ALL the woman you've been with." That got the overgrown cat gulping aloud and he stopped every attempt to flirt with her. But just for today.
"So where to?" Changing the subject was a good thing.
"The Wicked Forest. First time hearing about it but it's sound enticing somehow. So we'll start our new adventure from there. Now go back. I need some time alone." The Spirit obeyed his master and disappeared and that made Lucy sigh happily. She needed time alone. To think and what not.
"I wonder if I did the right thing?" She asked no one in particular.
"I mean I know I'm a coward. Knowing your crush can't reciprocate your feelings ever is the worst and after I confessed to him so unlady like. Damn Lucy. You sure are a big idiot. Who ask their best friend to have sex with them? You! Stupid idiot. Tsk. Maybe it's good I took some time off. Not paying for an apartment. Apartment…" Her eyes widened when she realized her mistake.
"FUCK I DIDN'T TELL MY LANDLADY I'M MOVING OUT! OPEN THE GATE OF THE MAIDEN! VIRGO!" Now she was panicking. Fuck and fuck.
"Yes hime? Forgot my punishment?" her eyes glinted with happiness by the word punishment.
"NO! I forgot to tell my landlady I'm leaving! Can you-"
"No need to worry Hime. I got Gemi and Mini to handle it. They posed as you and told the old lady that you are leaving for a while. The lady just huffed and slammed the door in their face. So we took care of it."
Lucy sighed with relief. Her spirits got everything covered. Good. Now she just had to find a new place to stay. Before Lucy could thank her spirit, Virgo spoke again.
"The Spirit King made me ask if you could do him a favor. Nii-sama told him about going to the Wicked Forest and about you training and a friend of his resides there."
"What kind of friend? Don't tell me it's a monster. No monster please." Virgo shook her hand and smiled? Yup she definitely smiled.
"But he is no human either and no monster. He is a really really old friend of the King. I've never met him but I heard he is strong and he is actually in need of an apprentice of some sort. I don't have other details." The Spirit said and disappeared without a reply from her master.
"Not monster but not a human either. What is he then? An apprentice? Mama what mess will I get into?"
Lucy sighed and laid down on the seats. Uncomfortable but it had to do.. She had so many things to think about now. Should she accept? This 'thing' was in need of an apprentice so she could train with him and train to become stronger but could she really do it? Argh shut up brain and get some sleep. There are ten hours till we'll arrive and by then I can accept or decline. Sleep and think about everything later. Yes. Sleep.
And with her inner chanting she slowly drifted off to a dreamless night with no worries. Just what she needed.
It was a different story in Magnolia. Fairy Tail was asking for answers and a certain pinkette had every one but refused to answer any. And now he had some healing to do because the blonde had actually broken two of his ribs and punctured one of his lungs, leaving him a bloody mess.
