Also, here's the disclaimer- i don't own Fairy Tail
Kate stared doubtfully at the job request she had in her hand. She had decided she was going to do it, she had promised herself, so there was no backing out now. She sighed; she would have to think of it as practice, just something to get her started up again.
She frowned at the paper in her hand as she skimmed over its words once more. The request was from a woman who wanted to test her husband's loyalty to her and she wanted a mage to do the job just in case her rather strong husband got…riled up.
There's only one problem with this, Kate thought dejectedly, I'm not sexy at all, I won't be able to pull this off.
She glanced idly around the guild hall as she mentally cursed her need to keep promises. The other members of Fairy Tail were at it again, brawling, yelling, eating, drinking and just generally making a mess of things. Actually, they were all really loud, she must have really zoned out when looking at the request if she hadn't noticed the noise before.
A head of long blonde hair caught her attention and a drop of hope splashed onto her.
"Lucy!" she called, "Lucy, over here!"
The celestial spirit mage paused and her gaze searched and then settled on Kate. She grinned and made her way over.
"Katie!" she greeted once she came to a stop beside her, "Ooh, are you choosing a mission?"
Kate bit her lip and nodded, "Yeah, I told myself I would pick a random one with my eyes closed and then I would have to do it…"
Lucy smiled and her brown eyes flicked down to the paper in Kate's hand, "I guess you've picked then?"
Wincing, Kate handed the request to the other girl. Lucy scanned it and winced as well.
"Bad luck," she said, almost laughing.
Kate clasped her hands together and held them to her chest as she stared pleadingly at the blonde. Lucy's eyes grew wide and she held her own hands up as she shook her head furiously.
"No, no, no," she exclaimed, "Whatever it is you want me to do, I won't!"
"Lucy," Kate whined, sticking her bottom lip out in, "Please, won't you help me?"
Lucy hesitated and Kate inwardly rejoiced and thought, I've got her now!
"Come on, Lucy," continued Kate in a sweet tone, "You're the nicest person I know, so I'm sure there's no way you would ever deny a friend in need, right?"
Lucy slumped, "What exactly do you want me to do?"
Kate brightened and beamed at her friend, "I need you to teach me how to seduce a guy."
The blonde rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly as she muttered, "I had a feeling you'd say that."
"You see," Kate said, ignoring Lucy's remark, "I don't know how to be sexy like you! So I need help! You can do it, right? You are Lucy after all."
She was laying on the flattery pretty thick, everyone in earshot thought so, but she was being completely honest however, Kate idolised Lucy.
The celestial mage blushed for a moment and then stood up straighter, "Of course I can help you! I am pretty cute…"
Kate clapped her hands together joyfully, "Yes! Lucy, you're the best!"
Lucy laughed and then she became serious, "Okay, so, let's get started."
Kate leaned forward slightly and became completely attentive as Lucy began her instruction.
"So, Seduction 101. First you should wear something that's a tad more revealing that what you have on now," said Lucy knowledgably, "But not too much, a seductress is a tease after all. Oh and I suppose what technique you use is dependent on what the guy is like…so if he is arrogant and full of himself, he might go for the damsel in distress kinda girl or maybe he'll want the 'hard to get' type. You'll need to become whatever will get his attention. But anyway you have to be careful not to come on too strong, he might get suspicious-"
"Lucy," interrupted Kate with a confused frown, "I don't get it at all."
The blonde frowned then too, "It is a bit complicated…hmm, what can I do to explain?"
Kate perked up, "How about you do a demonstration?"
Lucy blushed, "Oh, I don't know about that…"
"Oh, come on," encouraged Kate as the other girl twiddled her fingers.
"But who would I even try it on?" asked Lucy before she quickly added, "Not that I'm saying I will try."
"But Lucy, you said you'd help me! So you have to do this!" Kate cried.
She looked around then for a certain someone. He was about to stomp past her, perfect. She used her cat like reflexes to snatch his arm and pull him up next to her.
"Here!" she exclaimed happily, "You can demonstrate with him!"
Lucy's jaw dropped, "With Natsu!?"
The pink haired dragon slayer glanced with confused eyes between the two girls.
"Huh?"
"B-b-but," spluttered Lucy, she then pointed at Natsu, "It would never work on him!"
"Lucy-" started Kate, but she was cut off.
"What are you two on about?" Natsu asked, his eyebrows drawn together.
"Well," said Kate turning to face and grin at him, "I need Lucy's help with a mission-"
"Help?" he interjected excitedly, "Why didn't you ask me?"
Kate rolled her eyes, "Well, I guess I'm kinda asking now, Natsu."
He grinned goofily at her and she took that as her cue to continue explaining.
"So I'm gonna go on a mission to seduce some guy, only I have no idea how to do that, so I need Lucy to demonstrate how."
She watched him meaningfully but all he did was blink at her.
"I need someone for her to demonstrate with," she said pointedly.
"I told you, Kate," Lucy piped up, "Natsu would never be able to be seduced by anyone! He doesn't get that sort of stuff."
"Hey!" the dragon slayer cried indignantly, "I do too!"
Lucy rolled her eyes and Kate's mischievous nature shone in her bright smile as she said, "Why don't you prove it then, eh, Natsu?"
He froze for a moment, only his eyes moved around as he debated internally.
"Why are you asking Lucy for help, Kate?" chirped Happy as he flew over and landed on her shoulder, "Lucy isn't sexy."
Kate gaped, "What are you talking about, Happy?"
"I just said it," the blue cat answered confusedly, "Are you getting stupid from hanging out with Lucy too much?"
Gesturing wildly at the blonde, Kate shouted, "Lucy is the very definition of sexy!"
There were shouts of agreement and such throughout the guild, causing the celestial mage to blush.
"Alright then," said Natsu suddenly, "I'll help out."
"Yes!" squealed Kate, she hugged his arm in pure happiness and then grabbed the blonde as well. She dragged them out the back of the guild where there was a rather large open space that people used for training. She abruptly released the other mages and they stumbled back a few steps.
"Happy," Kate said seriously to the cat still on her shoulder, "You have to go away now I'm afraid."
Happy gasped and whined, "But why?"
She laughed, "Because this will be awkward enough without your commentary."
The cat sulked but nevertheless flew disappointedly away back inside. Kate turned her bright eyes back Natsu and Lucy and she covered her glee by making herself seem business-like.
"Alright!" she declared, pointing at Natsu, "You, go back over there by that fence, you're gonna play the role of the husband, try and resist her!"
She turned to the other mage, "Lucy, pull yourself together and go get 'em!"
Lucy trembled just slightly as she glanced over to where Natsu was looking all bored and leaning against the fence. Come on, Lucy, she told herself, you're cute and amazing and you can do this!
Though she couldn't help but think she was about to make a gigantic fool of herself, Lucy tugged her skirt up a little bit and pulled her top down a smidge. She took a deep breath and chanted confidence building things to herself. Kate, who had watched with interest, now grew impatient.
She reached forward and pushed Lucy towards Natsu. The blonde stumbled and continued to do so, getting herself into the role of a distraught woman. Lucy's heart thudded unevenly in her chest as she drew nearer to the dragon slayer.
"Sir!" she called in a panicked voice, "Sir, please help me!"
Natsu's eyes widened and, as Lucy's curvaceous body bounced over to him, he almost forgot they were, in a way, acting out a scene.
"What's wrong?" he asked her, taking a step closer.
Lucy 'tripped' and was flung right up against Natsu's chest, her hands falling onto his shoulders. He instinctively put his arms around her.
"T-there w-was a horrible monster!" she panted, each breath causing her large breasts to press into him more.
"A monster?" asked Natsu, looking around, "Where? I'll go beat it up for you!"
Lucy couldn't help but smile a little, "T-that's so kind of you, I never thought anyone would ever offer to beat up a monster for me…"
She 'idly' stroked her fingertips along his firm shoulders as she said softly, "But if anyone could beat it up, I'm sure it would be you, you're so strong after all."
Surprisingly, Lucy found that she didn't feel the need to gag after saying that line, perhaps because it was the truth?
"I'll look after you," Natsu promised; inwardly amazed that he was able to speak while her luscious body was pressed so tightly against his.
"Thank you," she whispered, shyly peeking up at him as her stomach flipped and her heart fluttered.
Natsu was known by his guild mates for being a lot of things; loud, easily angered and boisterous, just to name a few. There was another category however, that everyone had filed him under; romantically oblivious, and while that had been true for a long time, it was something that had slowly been changing, ever since some undefined moment.
He couldn't say when, but for a while now, there were new feelings that came into play whenever he was around Lucy. He was confused about these new feelings; they increased his protectiveness of her and made him even more desperate to be the one that would make her smile. He also found himself being more aware of her, of her body and the way she looked, not to mention the way others looked at her body.
So even though he felt distantly ridiculous as he held her in his arms, he couldn't shake the feeling that it was right, that she belonged there. He found himself staring down into her chocolate brown eyes. Her stroking fingers were driving him almost insane, they were such a tease, he craved her touch he realised then. He never wanted her to stop petting him; he wanted her to touch more of him.
The idea of where else her hands could go made his gaze heat up. Lucy blushed and wanted to look away from his dark eyes, but she found she couldn't. Where their skin met, a tingling, hot sensation spread, bringing with it a hyper awareness of each other. Their heart rates and temperatures rose higher. Lucy lifted herself slightly, bringing their faces just that bit closer.
Natsu's eyes drifted down to her perfect lips and, in the back of his mind, he could hear a roar of triumph, a command to bring their lips together. It was a command he had every intention of obeying. He began slowly descending; his eyes went briefly back to hers and found they were trained on his mouth. He suppressed a smirk and the glow of pride.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Kate fall to the ground with her cheeks rosy and her eyes shining.
Oh yeah, he thought, an ache reverberating in his chest. Seeing Kate snapped him back to the fact Lucy was just pretending to be interested in him, that they were both supposed to be pretending. He shouldn't let Lucy know how he really felt about her. He pulled back from the blonde and plastered a grin on his face, covering the pain.
"Wow, Luce," he said, dropping his arms away and stepping back, "You're not a completely horrible actress after all!"
Lucy blinked and the colour seemed to drain from her face for a moment, she stared at her feet.
"Yeah," she mumbled, shrugging and blushing again, "Maybe."
Lucy's embarrassed? That's not how I thought she'd react…Natsu noticed then that Lucy's scent was a lot stronger than usual. He tilted his head and studied her closer, her pink stained cheeks and the way she shuffled about uncomfortably. He wondered something impossible then, maybe Lucy actually does like me?
"Oh my gosh! You two were so uugh!" cried Kate as she bounded over to them, "That was amazing!"
She then folded her arms across her chest and hummed thoughtfully as she added, "I do have some notes however."
"Notes?" asked Lucy in confusion, "Like what?"
Kate waved her hand absentmindedly, "You know what? It doesn't matter."
She beamed, "I did learn an awful lot though, so thanks!"
Lucy narrowed her eyes at the knowing look on Kate's face but decided to put it out of her mind.
"Well," the blonde said slowly, "If you're all prepared and stuff now, then I guess I'll go back inside."
"Okay!" Kate chirped happily.
Lucy eyed her suspiciously for a second but then started back towards the guild, thinking the other two would be right behind her. Kate pretended to follow Lucy for a couple of steps, then she stopped and turned back to Natsu, he had an oddly contemplative expression on his face as he watched the door Lucy had just disappeared through.
"Natsu?"
He blinked and refocused, "Huh? Yeah?"
"Do you know why some people use seduction and flirting?" Kate questioned curiously, watching him closely.
He shook his head of spiky pink hair, "Nope, not really."
"Well, I'm no expert of stuff like this but," Kate met his gaze meaningfully, "some people use it to tell if someone else is interested in them, you know, romantically."
Natsu quirked an eyebrow and, though he had an inkling, he asked anyway, "What are you tryna say?"
Kate smacked his arm, "I'm saying that you fell for Lucy's seduction way too fast! You like her!"
Blushing, Natsu looked away and frowned.
Kate sighed, "So go and seduce the girl already and find out how she feels, geez."
AN: Kate ships NaLu hard lol. Sorry if there are some mistakes :p Tell me what you think and if you want me to try and make another chapter of Natsu tryna seduce Lucy or whatever i dunno anymore i'm half asleep mmk, please review! :D
