Disclaimer: FAIRY TAIL BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA

Lucy felt a pang of uselessness. Another job, her being kidnapped, being saved by the others in Team Natsu, getting half the reward after destroying the town. She relied so much on her celestial spirits, and even when she needed them most they couldn't come out on just will. She needed to learn another magic.

She was walking through the park, a lump in the back of her throat when she was hit with a bright blast. Pain racked her body, her magical energy depleting then coming back to her, then a soft, warm tingling sensation run throughout her system.

Groaning, she passed out, utterly exhausted.

"Luce. Luce. Luce." Lucy awoke to hands shaking her, and a worried Natsu standing over her. They were in the guild's infirmatory, alone, and she realised yet again she had to be saved. There were faint tear marks on his cheeks, and seeing her eyes flutter open made him visibly brighten.

"Lucy!" Happy cried, flying over and hugging her. "We thought you were dead!" Lucy hugged the cat in return, moving over so Natsu could sit down on the bed with her.

"Yeah." he mumbled, voice slightly cracking, he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I just passed out. I'm here now." She said, smiling softly, gaze softening at Happy's sad expression changing to happy, like his name. "But the weirdest thing happened-"

"Lucy!" Suddenly, the entire guild burst into the infirmatory, surprising the celestial spirit wizard and dragon slayer.

After Lucy told everyone how and why she passed out, Makarov stood up and cleared his throat, presumably for attention.

"Lucy, you've been diagnosed with an abundancy of magic power. It sparked something within you, and we have no reason to doubt that you have dipped into a new type of magic." Everyone cocked their heads to the side, surprise glittering in their eyes. Mira nodded.

"Yes. We, at first believed it was some type of slayer magic, such as god or demon, as they can be transmitted," Mira said, smirking at Natsu and Lucy. "But who knows, even a kiss could transmit dragon slayer magic."

The pair blushed, and Lisanna grinned with her sister. Mira continued to speak. "Aside from that, we conducted a few tests, to see if you had any dragon, demon or god slayer magic in your system. The test results came back negative for all of them, but it said there was still some type of slayer magic.

"After a few minutes of research," everyone turned to Levy, who squirmed under their gazes, "We found there is another type of slayer magic. Spirit slayer. There is a recorded four, now five with you, but those four are powerful.

"Spirit slayer magic is not taught by a spirit, it has to be taught to the user by celestial spirits or other slayer mages. It can be dragon, god, or demon slayers, because though your magic differs, it has the same concept."

Mirajane smiled at Lucy as she finished talking, her blue eyes twinkling with mischief. She bent down to the blonde mage's ear, whispering, "So you and Natsu can train together."

"Mirajane!" She wailed, slightly fed up with everyone constantly trying to put the two together. It was no secret that Lucy maybe-sorta-kinda-liked him, and that he was her best friend, but it still got annoying. Especially since the 'oh-so-dense-idiot' wasn't as stupid as everyone thought, because he knew Lucy's little secret.

Though, he never acted or said it, he liked her as well.

As Lucy walked back to her apartment, she began to wonder about her relationship with the pink-haired boy. Really, she didn't understand it herself. Why does she like him so much? How did she even fall for him? He was walking with her, having suddenly become quite protective of the blonde.

He turned to look her way, and caught her eyes, and she felt a rising heat in her cheeks. She hadn't noticed how he had closed the large gap between them, or come to stand right next to her, but she was glad. Then what happened next left Lucy both happy and surprised.

He picked up the blonde, placing her on his back, in a single, swift motion.

"Hey, p-put me down!" Lucy squeaked, not struggling against the grip he had on her.

"Nope." He grinned, feeling his heart race, but tried to ignore it as much as he could. When he picked her up, it was to cover for the fact he was going to kiss her, but he didn't know what he would do or say afterwards. The blonde leaned forward a little bit, hands wrapping lightly around his neck for safety reasons as he walked along at a steady pace.

Her head rested against his back, her arms tightening around his neck. They reached the front door of her apartment, but Natsu grinned, having other things in store. He tightened his grip on her, then in a single leap jumped through her window.

She squealed as he fell in, him having flipped around somehow and landed on his back, so now she was sitting on his stomach. She clung to him for dear life, praying she'd never, ever have to do that again. Absent-mindedly, he sat up slowly, hugging Lucy to his chest.

"Please, don't ever do that again." She whimpered, and he felt bad about scaring her this badly. So, he did the only thing he thought was right at this moment. He brought her chin up, so she faced him, and he kissed her.

The kiss was soft, with a lot of emotion in it, and Lucy was the first to break away. However, before she could slap him, or say anything, he spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, Luce." She smiled, her terrors chased away by the single kiss. She hugged him again, except it was not out of fear.

"It's okay." She mumbled back, blushing lightly as happiness danced in her eyes.

"I love you, Lucy." He felt her shift, as she looked towards him.

"I love you too, Natsu." His chest felt like it was going to burst from happiness. Of course he always knew, just hearing the words from her mouth reassured him. He hadn't even thought about what he just did, realising it was probably both's first kiss.

She pulled him in for another, and he obliged happily, softly biting Lucy's lower lip. She suddenly shivered from the open window, and pulled away with a soft, I'll be back. He now lay on her bed next to her, cuddling her to himself firmly. His hot breath on the back of her neck made her shudder lightly and press closer to him.

Lucy felt him move a little, then the warm feeling of something around her neck surprised her. Flipping around to face him, he pulled her in for another kiss with his scarf. Natsu began to nibble on Lucy's lower lip once more, fangs scraping it softly and producing a soft moan from the celestial spirit user.

All news about her having a second magic forgotten, the two shared a rather.. passionate, you could say, night.

Lucy awoke the next morning, Natsu cuddling her really close to himself. For a brief moment, she forgot the previous night, and was about to kick him out when something tingled on her neck. Everything came flooding back, and she blushed, looking down at her naked self.

"Natsu." The wizard whispered, having flipped around so she was nestled into his chest. "Natsu, wake up." His eyes opened weakly, noticing his grip around her, he smiled.

"Hey Luce." he mumbled, burying his face into her soft, blonde hair. He fell straight back to sleep, and she sighed, feeling worn out herself. The guild could do without them for awhile, could they not? She sank back into sleep, the tingling on her neck fading as she re-entered dreamland.

Natsu stirred briefly afterwards, sunlight streaming into the room.

"Shit." he cursed, softly shaking Lucy. "Wake up," he whispered, looking around. "Otherwise everyone will suspect something's up and find us like this." The blonde wizard groaned, opening her brown eyes with a soft sigh accompanying as she sat up. She didn't even care she was naked at that moment, still groggy with sleep.

She stood, shuffling towards her bathroom to turn on the bath. She stepped in, and sat down, her boyfriend - or, she thought - settling on the otherside of the bath. He moved forward a bit, fingers tracing the same spot that had been tingling before. Him touching it made a flame of pleasure spread throughout her body.

"Wow." he murmured, kissing her and then getting up. Natsu grabbed her towels, much to her dislike but he promised he'd get some more for her. He returned back a few minutes later, two soft-looking sky blue ones in his hands. He had his normal clothing back on, and his hair dripped with water.

She took them, wrapping one around herself and the other around her hair, before moving to find some clothing. Natsu disappeared for a little bit to let her dress, and she smiled while thinking of the pinkette. Muscular arms gripped her around the waist, and familiar hot lips planted a kiss on her neck, on the tingling spot.

She rubbed the spot with her hand, confused about it. Natsu chuckled at her, rummaging around for a mirror. When he found one, speckled with eye shadow, he showed her the small flame mark on her neck. When she looked even more confused, he decided to explain.

"It's my mark. It basically means you're mine, Luce. Nobody can steal you from me. Nobody."

"Won't everyone see it?" She questioned, running her own fingers over the delicate marking.

"No. Only other dragon slayers. But normally, they don't say anything." Giving her a last affectionate nuzzle, the dragon slayer grabbed her hand, actually exiting through the door, pulling her after him to the guild.

Everyone seemed a little suspicious of the two as they entered, Mirajane and Lisanna actually squealing behind the bar. Gray narrowed his eyes at Natsu.

"What took you so long?" the ice-make wizard asked, for some reason not shaking Juvia off his arm like he usually would. Probably found out it was stupid to try.

"Lucy here," Natsu began, nudging Lucy lightly in the ribs with his elbow to say, play along!, "Wouldn't wake up so I went and checked on her. Sure enough, she was out cold, and took forever to get ready." Lucy huffed an indignant sigh, but stayed silent on that matter.

"So why is your hair dripping wet?" Juvia asked curiously, noticing her element drip off the spikey tufts of hair.

"She splashed me when I went in to see if she died in the bath." Now that sounded believable. Mira and Lisanna basically starting sobbing behind the counter, buying Natsu's story completely and believing that their ship hadn't finally hooked up.

Gajeel shot a grin at Natsu, noticing the intricate mark on bunny-girl's neck. He stayed silent, knowing full well nobody would believe him if he told them that he had actually spent the night with her, doing rather... passionate things. The author doesn't want to go into detail.

Gajeel looked at Levy, who of course had her nose buried in a book. He sighed.

"Levy, do you ever not read?" He questioned the bluenette, who promptly turned to him and grinned.

"Sometimes." She marked her page, put her book down and stared off into space. She got up, and sat next to Gajeel, whispering in his ear so only he would hear.

"Something about his story doesn't make sense." Levy whispered, looking around. Her soft breath on his ear tingled a little bit, making his body shiver inwardly.

"Levy, I don't know if Lucy'll tell you this or not, but that story isn't true. At all."

"Hmm?" She inquired, confused.

He whispered about the mark on her neck, what it meant and how it got there.

Her eyes widened, and contracted back to normal, biting her lip not to squeal.

"Wow." She breathed, surprised. "I won't say anything."

"You better not, shrimp." Gajeel said gruffly, looking around for any prying eyes/ears. "It's my ass on the line here. Salamander would beat me senseless if he knew I told you." She giggled softly, resting her head on his shoulder. He stiffened a little, not used to affection, but let it slip.

Mirajane pursed her lips, sighing. Lisanna was off, trying to successfully get Natsu and Lucy together, not knowing they already were. She wondered what made Lisanna get over her childhood crush on the fire dragon slayer, but didn't question it. Maybe it was when Bixlow started paying her attention.

Makarov stood on the stage, clearing his throat loudly.

"Listen up, brats! We are going on vacation soon!" Cheers rippled throughout the guild. A devilish smirk had imprinted itself on the Strauss sister's faces. Lisanna could be sary.

"We are going to someplace some of you will know. It's warm, romantic, fun, adventurous but all will be revealed in due time. You can all thank the Strauss siblings and the Rajinshuu for this amazing oppurtunity." He grinned, as everyone began chatting.

Mira stepped up. "Oh, we'll be leaving in about... Three days time. So get everything together, and come looking your best!" A special list was handed out for everyone, of things you absolutely needed to bring, alongside everything else.

So there it began. The wild plans of demon matchmaker siblings, Lisanna and Mira had been set into action. With the help of their respective 'slightly closer then friend' people in Raijinshuu.

ahh first fairy tail fanfic am absolutely pumped for it. I'm realising the next chapter soon, ciao~
