Lucy sat on her bed, staring out of her rain covered window. The week had gone by relatively easy, until today. The rain came out of nowhere, drenching people on the streets. Most of her guild members rushed to get home, others weren't so fortunate and had to stay at the guild. Lucy was, of course, one of those lucky people. And to add to her luck, Natsu and Gray were forced (Ahem, dragged against their will) to Erza's room at Fairy Hills; and Lucy had her apartment to herself.
Lucy sighed, her arms resting on the window sill. Of course she loved the fact that she had her apartment to herself, but she felt inexplicably lonely. Her normally boisterous apartment was silent. She could have called Plue to keep her company, but she knew it wouldn't help and she just didn't have the energy. The atmosphere outside seemed to damper on her own mood, making it dreary to an extent.
And the fact that she couldn't secretly ogle a certain dragon slayer only made it worse.
He had been missing the entire day, not showing up once at the guild. Even his exceed didn't show up. So Lucy was forced to sit at the bar that day, lazily drinking her strawberry tea. She knew she couldn't have the man, because he always seemed to not be interested in her; that or the fact he just didn't want to be associated with her.
Lucy shook her head, trying to free herself from her thoughts. So to pass the time, Lucy had grabbed one of her novels to read. As she paged through the pages, she only seemed to get even more bored.
An abrupt, loud knocking on her door saved Lucy from her thoughts. She jumped off her bed in eagerness and raced towards the door, yanking it open. Her eyes widened at the sight of a drenched Iron Dragon Slayer with a frown on his thin, blue lips. He pushed past Lucy and walked into her apartment, obviously pissed. Lucy closed the door and followed after him.
"U-umm… Gajeel…?" Lucy said quietly. Gajeel turned around, his eyes narrowly pointed at her. Lucy shivered on the inside at the sight, finally seeing the Dragon Slayer up close. Since his clothes were wet (Thank Mavis!) she could see every defining line of his muscled physic. His clothes clung to his body, making it look like a second skin, his arms having droplets of water running down his skin and over the metal embedded into it. His pants looked uncomfortably tight on him, showing the small budge at his groin.
Lucy stifled the groan that threated to come out of her mouth. She cleared her throat and pointed towards her bedroom door. "T-the bathroom is in there, if you're looking." Gajeel grunted and walked through the door.
He saw her tangled bed sheets and the lone book on the floor, seeing the cover his face tinted red slightly; My Damn Good Lover. He remembered Shrimp (Levy) reading the book next to him one day, her face pressed into the pages as she tried to cover her flaming red face.
He tried to clear the thoughts from his head, but it only worsened when Lucy came in after him and picked up the book. She sat on her bed and continued reading, acting as if it wasn't the most distracting thing to him. Lucy looked up at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Do you need help Gajeel?" Lucy asked. Gajeel looked away quickly and stomped over to the bathroom, slamming the door shut. He huffed as he stripped out of his wet clothes, grabbing a hair tie out of his pocket and tying his hair up in a bun with his bandana wrapped around his head.
It seemed that luck was not on his side as he found his boxers wet also, sticking to his skin uncomfortably. Gajeel growled deep in his throat, taking his boxers off as well. Now he was completely naked with no clothes to wear, and he sure as hell wasn't going to ask Bunny Girl (Lucy) for clothes.
As Lucy sat on her bed she pondered over the thought of clothing for the Iron Dragon Slayer. Seeing as he was completely and utterly drenched in rain. Does he rust…? Lucy giggled quietly at the thought of Gajeel rusting. She got off of her bed and went to her bathroom door, hearing nothing on the other end she hesitantly knocked.
"What?" Gajeel's annoyed voice came on the other side.
"Umm… Do you need a towel for your body and hair?" Lucy asked.
"Tch, maybe I do."
Lucy fidgeted slightly as she stood, contemplating if going inside and giving it to him or slipping it under the door. Thinking quickly she went to her dresser and pulled out a towel. She took a deep breath and let it out, trying to calm her fast heartbeat. Trying the door knob she found it unlocked and opened it. She looked down at the ground as she stepped inside holding out the towel towards him.
"H-here's the towel," Lucy said quickly. She heard Gajeel grunt and snatch the towel out of her hands. She peaked quickly seeing that he was turned around, the towel covering his bottom.
"I-I'm gonna go now…"
"No you're not," Gajeel said, turning around with his arms crossed over his body.
Lucy looked at him incredulously, "W-Why not?"
"I don't have clothes." Of course, ask Gajeel to point out of the obvious. Lucy sighed and went to her nightstand, pulling out her golden keys. Fingering through them she held up the key and called in a commanding tone, "Open, Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" A bright flash appeared and in between the two stood Virgo bowed down to Lucy.
"Yes, Princess?" Virgo inquired.
"Can you please get Gajeel some clothes?"
Virgo nodded, "Of course, Princess." Virgo disappeared back into the spirit world, appearing again a second later with a small pile of clothes.
She turned towards Gajeel and held out the clothes," I hope I got them to your liking." Virgo bowed slightly towards him and turned towards Lucy again.
"Punishment, Princess?" She asked, her eyes gleaming slightly in excitement.
Lucy waved her hands in front of her frantically, her face slightly red with embarrassment, "No! Virgo no punishment needed." Virgo nodded.
"Good night Princess, if you need anything else do not hesitate to ask." Virgo bowed one last time and went back into the spirit world.
Lucy did not dare look at the Dragon Slayer, already knowing the type of look he was giving her.
"You punish her?" He asked with an amused look on his face at her actions.
Lucy looked at him with wide eyes, "No I do not! It's just something her past master did."
"Mhm, sure." Gajeel walked back into the bathroom and closed the door. Lucy sighed and slumped to the floor. Mavis why me? All she could think about now was Gajeel's amusement at her embarrassment. She looked at the book on her bed and picked it up deciding to stay on the floor and read.
When Gajeel came out of the bathroom again his eyes went to the girl on the ground, reading the damned book again. He willed his face to remain neutral, but knowing Bunny Girl she would figure it out soon. He moved over to her bed and peered over her shoulder. Seeing that she didn't notice him he decided to stay there, watching her read the book without as much as her ears turning pink.
Eventually he got bored and cleared his throat, catching the blonde's attention. Lucy looked up at him with wide eyes, closing the book and putting it on her lap.
"When did you get out?" She asked.
He shrugged his shoulders, "Not long." Lucy nodded and looked down at the book, her fingers itching to grab it and read some more. She had just gotten to the good part, right before the two main characters were about to have sex.
Lucy looked over at the Dragon Slayer, seeing him going through her things she decided to read. The book was almost in her reach before a large hand suddenly grabbed it off of her lap.
"Hey!" Lucy cried out. She stood – wobbling slightly because her legs were numb – and reached for the book. Gajeel held it up high out of her reach and looked down at her with a raised eyebrow.
"How can you read this without getting flustered like Shrimp?" He asked.
Lucy huffed and crossed her arms under her breasts, "What do you mean?"
"Aren't you innocent n' shit like your friend?"
For once, Lucy had no words to say. The usual snappy blonde was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth to say something but now words came out. Finally Lucy sighed in defeat and looked down at the ground.
Gajeel's mouth was open now, seeing her ears turning pink at his question. So she isn't a virgin!?
"You've already fucked someone?" Gajeel asked in disbelief. Lucy looked up at him with wide eyes.
"I haven't! I'm still pure, unlike someone," Lucy said. She turned her head to the side and huffed.
"Then how come – "
"'Cause I wrote the goddamned book!" Lucy shouted. If she wasn't so mad at the moment she would have laughed at Gajeel's face. His cheeks had gone a noticeable shade of pink, his mouth open and eyes wide. He pointed at the book, then at her.
"You wrote this?" He asked for confirmation.
"Yes, I have. Now please don't tell anyone," Lucy said. She grabbed the book out of his hand and placed it back on her bed. She knew that any smart person, like Levy, would know that the two main characters were her and Gajeel. She based the book off of her vivid fantasies of the sexy man, but he didn't need to know that.
"Why should I?" Gajeel crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at her with narrowed eyes.
"I'll give you anything in return, just please don't!" Lucy was pleading now, basically on her hands and knees. She didn't want people to know her erotic stories, and how she longed for that type of sex. Even though she was a virgin didn't mean she couldn't write sex scenes, albeit they weren't that great.
Gajeel looked at her, contemplating her offer. He wanted a lot of things; like a lifetime supply of iron to eat, Flametard to shut up and leave him alone, Amazon monster to stop irritating him, and the Demon Barmaid to stop muddling in his love life. But what he wanted most was someone to treat him normally, and not be afraid of him. He knew some of his guild members were still wary of him because of what he did in Phantom Lord, and he wanted them to stop judging him from his past and accept him or who he was.
Of course Gajeel would never admit those things to Bunny Girl, so he stuck with the most appropriate answer.
"Reenact on of your scenes."
Lucy looked up at him in puzzlement, "Huh?"
Gajeel sighed and shook his head. He opened the book in his hands and paged through, finding a scene for Lucy to act out. When he spotted one he showed the page to Lucy, who finally got the answer.
"I will not do such indecent things!" She screeched.
Okay maybe it wasn't the most appropriate answer, but an answer nonetheless.
"You said you'd do anything, and this is what I want you to do, reenact it."
Lucy looked at him like he was crazy, scratch that, he is crazy! He wanted her to do one of who erotic novel scenes for him. If Lucy's mind wasn't all that frazzled she would have thought he was interested in her.
"Why do you want me to do that?" She asked skeptically.
Gajeel leaned closer down to her face, a smirk playing on his lips. "Because if you're such a damn good writer I'd like to see it."
"Then why don't you just read the goddamned book!" Lucy yelled, throwing her hands in the air. Gajeel shrugged and leaned away from her, tossing the book. Lucy barely caught it, fumbling as she did so and placed it back on her bed.
"No." The answer that came out of her mouth upset the dragon slayer greatly. He frowned at her and growled slightly.
"So you want everyone to know about your little secret?"
"I don't want people treating me differently, but I won't do such indecent things with someone who – " Lucy's face flamed red. Her words caught in her throat and quickly thought of an excuse.
"With someone who… What?" Gajeel sat on her bed, leaning forward at her with a confident smirk on his face.
"W-with someone like y-you…" Lucy said quietly, barely audible to her own ears. Her heart clenched in pain at her own words, even though they weren't true. She had feelings for Gajeel, but kept them secret for her best friend's sake. She didn't want her friend to feel like she was betrayed, and Lucy wouldn't indulge in her own desires.
Gajeel sat there shocked momentarily. So she still is scared of me. Figured.
"So you're still scared of me I see," Gajeel said quietly.
Lucy shook her head and said, "I'm not scared of you Gajeel, I just won't do that with you. Levy would be devastated if she knew I did that." Lucy looked down at her lap, her hands intertwining with each other. Her lips pursed together and her face with slightly red.
Gajeel groaned and rubbed the back of his neck. He got that "Levy" card often whenever he was out at a bar. He had no feeling for Shrimp, none at all. He was only repaying her because of what he did to her during Phantom Lord, he would have done the same with Bunny Girl but she steered clear from him daily. He and Shrimp often talked about that whole romantic involvement, both agreeing that it wasn't for them. Levy was still too innocent for him and Gajeel didn't want to feel like he was being the baby sitter.
"Look Bunny Girl, me n' Shrimp got no feelings for each other, we agreed on that. It's become annoyin' as shit whenever people assume we're together," Gajeel said.
Lucy looked at him surprised, her eyes slightly wider. "Really?" If what he said was true then maybe, just maybe, she could have a little taste of the Iron hunk.
"Really Bunny Girl." Gajeel didn't know why he was explaining this to her, probably because it just seemed like the nicest thing to do, for him anyways.
"Umm…" Lucy squirmed as she sat, eyeing the book on her bed. She picked it up and quickly paged through the pages, finding what she was looking for she showed it to Gajeel. Gajeel's eyes skimmed through the words, his face flustering slightly at the descriptive words.
"You still want me to do that scene right?" Lucy asked nervously. Of course Lucy wanted to do the scene, it was of her favorites. The two main characters that were about to get into the throes of sex, the female was beginning with an innocent approach, and then turning into a vivacious minx.
Gajeel's large feral grin made Lucy think she did the right choice. Gajeel leaned back against her head board, his arms behind his head as he smirked at her. Lucy crawled on her hands and knees towards him, her eyes half lidded and her lips partly gaped. Lucy tried her best not to get flustered over the fact that she is living one of her many dreams, and instead tried to play the part of the main character.
Lucy leaned forward, placing herself on her lap and wrapping her legs around him. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pressed her chest into his.
"Can I just ask you one question?" Lucy asked quietly. Her heart beat loudly in her chest in anticipation. As much as she wanted to just ravish the man she needed to know why he wanted this.
"Go ahead," Gajeel replied huskily.
Lucy leaned closer, her mouth only millimeters from his, "Why do you want this?"
Gajeel thought about her words, why? His most reasonable answer would be because he wanted to taste her, lick her; fuck her. But he couldn't answer like that; he would just get a foot in his face and be flying out of her window. He was attracted, yes, he wanted her, yes; but did he want something else? Yes, he did, he wanted her acceptance. He felt the guiltiest about how he treated her, for torturing her mentally, emotionally, and physically. Gajeel knew he wouldn't be able to hide it from her long, so better to get out with now than have to later.
"I want you're acceptance. I know how stupid that sounds but I still feel guilty of how I treated you, so I'm… Sorry."
Lucy's heart swelled, her eyes watering slightly at his words. He still felt guilty, despite how she treated him. Lucy only knew one way on how to get him to see that she was okay, even if it wasn't one she would choose for everyone else.
Lucy placed her hands on either side of his face and gave a small smile.
"I forgive you."
She moved closer to his face and closed the gap between their lips. At first Gajeel didn't know how to respond, he was still shocked over the fact she forgave him that easily. He wanted to stop her and reason with her, knowing she was doing this to his wishes. He didn't want to still take advantage of her, but damn was it hard.
Lucy moved her lips over his still ones, slanting to taste more of him. She wondered why he still wasn't moving, but paid no mind to it. She ran her tongue on his bottom lip, asking for entrance. When he didn't oblige Lucy parted from his lips and stared at him with a frown on her face.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Why did you forgive me so easily?" Gajeel had his brows furrowed and a small frown on his face.
Lucy sighed, "I forgave you a long time ago."
"Then why do you insist doing something that I'm blackmailing you to do?"
Lucy sighed and threw her head back, a groan of frustration coming from her lips. In an instant her head came in contact with his and Gajeel cried out in pain. His hand flew to the bruise threatening to come.
"The hell was that for!?" Gajeel bellowed out. Lucy narrowed her eyes at him and began pinching and stretching his cheeks.
"That's for being an idiot."
Lucy's mouth landed on his again in a rush, her hands tangling in his hair. She parted her lips again from his and gave a small smile.
"That's for being the idiot that I fell for."
