As some of you might know, I have posted quite a few (like, 2) one shots recently instead of updating more important things, so I've decided to create a "multichapter" story where I dump all my bloobs of inspiration. 'Bloobs' is mine. I copyright it. Bloobs of inspiration inspired this previous one-shot to become part of a many one-shot story…..
If I owned Fairy Tail do you think I would be here?
No.
I would be in my mansion, cackling over my cruelty at hinting all these wonderful couples like NaLu and Gruvia and yet refusing to let them kiss and become cannon =_=
"Hey… Natsu, look at this," Lucy murmured, lifting her eyes up from her laptop to glance at her sleepy partner. He blinked his eyes open slowly, and she found herself smiling softly from the adorable sight as he fought sleep. Unlike others, this was an enemy he didn't seem capable of beating.
"Hmm…?" he replied, making his way to the desk where Lucy sat, leaning over her shoulder to peer at the screen that she had turned to display for him. "… What is that?"
"Some fans made a website about us," she mused softly, scrolling down the page to read the things people had posted about their favorite Fairy Tail mages. "People all over Fiore are posting comments about us; things they noticed, things they admire, etc. it's really… endearing, to know that people care this much for us," she said, the second sentence mostly to herself.
Natsu leaned so far forward she would have Lucy Kicked him then and there for being a pervert had she not been able to tell he was almost dead asleep on his feet. She watched, amused, as he slowly face planted into her laptop. He really was adorable at times, she noticed with a smile, lifting him away from the laptop and, after only a moment or so of hesitation, she consented to laying him on her bed.
Much as she disliked him and his blue friend constantly breaking into her apartment and sneaking into her bed, when Natsu acted as sweet and childish as this she just couldn't help but baby him.
The dragon-slayer practically purred, sinking into the soft foam mattress with one eye open and staring at Lucy, waiting for her to climb in beside him and cuddle up so they could sleep. He even stretched out an arm to catch her sleeve as she turned away, with a pout.
"I'm not really tired right now, Natsu," Lucy told him. "Besides, I want to check out the fan site. I really want to see what people are saying about me."
She tugged her sleeve out of his grip and settled back into her desk, aware of the irritated, yet disappointed, boy fixing her with a hard stare. As if that could persuade her to get in beside him.
Lucy fixed her attention back on the laptop, scanning the page for any mention of her name.
She found it half-way down, began to read, eagerly and—
—and had to slip a fist into her mouth to muffle the sob so that her half-asleep partner couldn't hear it.
Was this really what people thought about her? That she was some kind of… some kind of slut or something? That she wore such revealing outfits because she wanted to seduce the male members of her team? That the only things she was good for were her generous assets?
A tear slid down her cheek.
Lucy is probably the weakest member of Fairy Tail. It's no wonder she wears such slutty clothes; she obviously thinks her looks get her points~ CuckooNutGirl19
I don't know why Natsu and Gray bother to pretend to be nice to her. It's obvious that nobody actually likes that whore~ NatsuDragneelIsHot4563
Such a surprise that they haven't kicked her out yet. Those three are probably in some sort of sex scandal, she seems like the type ~
Can't believe that bitch has the nerve to even think about Natsu when it's so clear that he belongs to Lisanna. They were practically dating before, and now she's back. I can't believe anybody could be that selfish enough to keep them apart!~NatsuLisannaForever
Lucy averted her eyes from the hateful words, heart clenching. This wasn't even the worst, she could tell just by skimming over the rest of the section she was mentioned in. it was filled with loathing remarks from Nali lovers, or people who just plain wanted to call her names.
"What's the matter, Luce? Why are you crying?" Natsu whispered from his perch on her bed.
Lucy turned back to face him almost lifelessly. What if those people were true about what they said? What if none of the kind mages she had grown to love and cherish returned her feelings? She was so deep in worry and her insecurities she hardly noticed the fire mage stagger over and loop an arm around her shoulders to pull her into a tight hug.
At his touch, she broke down, dissolving into his arms with tears bubbling and streaming, sobbing over the horrible things she'd just found out. She was immensely grateful that he didn't pull away from the hug.
"What's the matter, Lucy?" his voice was thick with worry, of concern. It surprised her even more. Not that it should, she reminded herself bittersweetly; Natsu was, after all, the kind of guy to always be friendly, no matter the circumstances. Lucy didn't respond, too thankful for this trait to do so.
XxX
Natsu was confused, to say the least, when he'd smelled the bitter tang of tears mere minutes after Lucy had rejected going to bed in favor of checking out the website. When he'd glanced up and saw that she was sobbing in despair. He'd never liked seeing anybody sad, especially not his partner, so this utter misery she was in made his heart ache.
He'd pulled her into his arms right after, knowing that whenever he was down, her hugs always made him feel better so it was well-worth trying to see if it would help with her.
While Lucy cried in his arms, he shifted his gaze to the laptop, guessing it had something to do with his best friend's despair. Natsu's eyes scanned the screen, and he went rigid as he saw the first comment on the top of the screen. He read the rest, knowing these horribly hurtful things were what was paining Lucy. His arms tightened around her in sympathy, and in anger. If he ever saw those horrible people who had said these things he would light them on fire and burn them to a pile of ash remorselessly. His heart seemed to burn whenever tears seeped through the fabric of his vest and onto his skin. Her pain was his pain, and she was hurting a whole lot right now.
"S' all right, Lucy," he whispered fiercely, nuzzling into her blonde hair. "Those are all lies. Lies. Don't let that get to you."
"N-no," she whimpered. "IT's true… I really am weak. I deserve all of—"
"Don't you ever, ever think that you are weak, because you are far from it!" Natsu reprimanded, angrily. Being burned to a crisp was now not enough of a punishment anymore, for causing these insecurities to affect Lucy as much as they did. "You are not weak! I know you aren't, and everybody in Fairy Tail knows you aren't! You don't deserve any of this bull shit! This is just people jealous of you, and of everything you have! Don't let it get to you."
She cried harder, and Natsu worried if what he had said actually made her feel better at all. Gently, he pulled away at arm's length to fix her with a stern look, which melted when she sniffled cutely to try and stop the tears from flowing so heavily.
"Lucy Heartphilia," he began, voice thankfully deep and rumbling and not the embarrassing high pitched whine he was afraid it would be, "Don't you ever for a moment think that you are not loved, not cherished by any of your friends. Levy loves you. Erza loves you. Mira loves you. Gray loves you. Happy loves you. I love you. Just because of some stupid people, you are doubting everything, and that isn't fair." He tilted his head forward so that their foreheads bumped together, amused slightly by the faint pink blush coloring her cheeks at his confession. "Just forget it. never will we ever think of you in such horrible ways, ok?" when she nodded, after a while, he leaned just the last few inches to briefly press his lips against hers before pulling away with a smile.
"T-thanks," Lucy flushed, leaning into him with her eyes closed. Her chest finally stopped heaving, and although crying so much had caused hiccups to begin she was smiling back against him. Pleased that he was able to make her feel better, Natsu kissed the top of her head again before sneaking a finger covered in flame toward the laptop which had started this whole mess. If he could only turn this into ashes, maybe in time Lucy would forget her insecurities about what the stupid people had said.
"You better not be doing what I think you're doing," Lucy mumbled into her best friend's (or maybe more…? :D) muscular chest. The lit finger halted as instantly as it had begun to move, and Natsu chuckled sheepishly into her hair before lifting her into the bridal position and setting her down gently against her amazing bed, climbing into it himself after she was all tucked in.
Of course, he made a mental note to destroy the Laptop before she woke up.
He could always blame it on Gray.
How'd you all like my first chapter? It actually feels great to have a story I don't feel like I need to update as often as I can because this is something I can just add to whenever and
At this point I'm only rambling so it doesn't quite matter. School just started back up again so my ridiculous amount of freetime has just died away….
It shall be missed.
