Hey everybody, Riku here with a new story/one-shot/thing. I found the 100 Song Challenge the other day and I thought I'd give it a go. You basically put your playlist on shuffle and you draw/write something to go along with the song. I decided to do this challenge with ErLu(Erza X Lucy) because why not? I'm actually kinda afraid of some of the songs I could get. I have things on there such as "Flesh" and "I want your bite" XD I also have songs like "On the Open Road" and "Boom Boom Boom Boom" XD Yeah, I have a pretty big variety of songs. Anyway, here's song fic 1/100!
I don't own Fairy Tail!
I recommend just skipping this one XD This is not one of my best. Just skip it and go on to the next one.
Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows
Lucy followed her friends down the dirt path; Happy floated over the group, gloating because he could fly and they couldn't. Natsu had chosen a job to apprehend a thief who moved from town to town. Rumors said that the thief was targeting a bank in a city miles away from Magnolia; they had been traveling for hours. The earth around them was bare and had very little plant life. The sun was scorching their skin and was parching them faster than they could stay hydrated. Lucy stared at the red head in front of the group wondering how in the world she wasn't sweating under that heavy armor. Even Natsu, the fire mage, had removed his vest and placed his scarf on top of his head; sweat glistened on his chest and his usual spiky hair clung to his forehead.
After marching in the sticky heat for what felt like eternity, Lucy collapsed on the dusty ground. The blonde sighed in exasperation; the rest of the group stopped to look at her. Natsu seemed to like the idea of taking a break and dropped down next to her; Happy retracted his wings and flopped on top of the dragon slayer's head. Gray had removed all his clothes sometime earlier, leaving him in just his boxers; he ran his hand through his damp hair and sighed. Being an ice mage, he hated the heat more than anything.
"What's the problem?" Erza folded her arms in front of her chest, looking at Lucy expectantly.
"We've been walking for hours!" the celestial mage complained, rubbing her sore ankles. "Can't we take a break?" she begged.
"The city isn't that much farther." the re-quip mage assured her.
Gray held his hand above his eyes to block out the sun. "I think I see it."
Natsu hopped to his feet and squinted to attempt at seeing better in the blinding light. The fire mage grinned, with a quick "Let's go, Happy!" and an "Aye, sir!" the pair charged across the wasteland. Gray ran after them and Erza held her hand out to the celestial mage. The blonde took her hand and let herself be pulled to her feet. Lucy could faintly make out the outline of buildings in the distance. She and Erza jogged to catch up to their two male teammates; Lucy sighed in relief when they finally reached the city.
"Natsu," Happy flew around the dragon slayer's head. "Let's go look for food places! I'm starving!"
"You read my mind, Happy!" Natsu grinned again. "Alright! Let's go!"
"Hold it," the red head grabbed his upper arm before he could go dashing off again. "We have a job to do." she reminded him.
"The guy wouldn't try robbing a bank in the middle of the day." Gray pointed out. "We've got plenty of time to look around the city. I'll go with hot head to make sure he doesn't hurt himself." he snickered.
"What's that supposed to mean, you little-"
"That's enough," Erza cut Natsu off before he could finish his sentence. "You can go eat but meet us at the bank before sun down." she told them.
"Aye, sir!" Natsu and Happy cheered in unison, the fire mage completely forgetting about what Gray called him. The three of them left in search of food, leaving Lucy alone with the re-quip mage.
"So," Lucy awkwardly shifted her weight from foot to foot. Being alone with Erza wasn't exactly comfortable, sure if anyone attacked them Erza could handle it but the fact that the red head could break her skull with her little finger was a bit intimidating. "Are you hungry?'
"Not really," Erza replied with a shrug. They stood there in silence for a few moments before she asked, "Are you?"
"I'm not hungry but I could go for some ice cream." Lucy smiled, eating something cold after walking in searing heat for hours sounded pretty good to her.
"Sounds good," the red head returned her smile and the two of them set off in search of the cold treat.
Lucy stared in awe at all the clothing and jewelry stores they passed. This city was an obvious choice for thieves, even the street lamps looked expensive. Neither of the girls talked, the celestial mage thought about starting a conversation but fear of angering the red head kept her from doing so. Occasionally, their hands brushed against the other's, causing Lucy to frantically look at the re-quip mage, but she never seemed to notice. Her cheeks turned a light pink when she realized how ridiculous she was being. It was just Erza. They were friends, right? At least Lucy hoped they were friends... The blonde's knuckles skimmed Erza's once more and she thought about when they first decided to take the mission. Lucy hadn't wanted to go on the job because of how far they'd have to travel, when she turned to leave, the red head grabbed her hand and pulled her back. She remembered how strong but incredibly smooth her hands were. When their fingers briefly touched once more, Lucy longed to just grab her hand but she held herself back. Erza would probably punch her through a wall.
Eventually they came upon a small ice cream parlor; Erza held the door open for her, Lucy mumbled an embarrassed thanks and hurried inside. She was greeted by a blast of cool air and quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead. The re-quip mage told her that she'd get the ice cream and the blonde sat down at a table. She noted how crowded the small shop was as her eyes traveled around the room until they came to rest on a couple. A petite blonde girl and a muscular red haired boy were sharing a bowl of ice cream; feeding each other spoonful's of the pink substance. The couple was giggling, smiling, and making small talk; perfectly comfortable in one another's presence. She couldn't help but smile; it must've been nice to be in a relationship.
It's kinda like me and Erza. Lucy thought, comparing herself the petite girl and Erza to the physically strong boy. Did I seriously just think that...? Erza's nothing like that guy. He's attractive... Well... Erza's really attractive too... She'd make a great girlfriend. She'd be thinking about the re-quip mage a lot lately. How her beautiful scarlet hair was always perfectly kempt, the way she smiled at Natsu's terrible jokes, and how aggressive she got over protecting the ones close to her. Okay, no! she mentally slapped herself. Don't think about Erza that way! she silently scolded herself.
Her thoughts drifted to all the jobs she'd taken with Erza, all the times she'd saved her and helped her out. Every time she came home and found the red head in her apartment her heart would skip a beat out of terror and excitement. But it'd be a lot of fun to be in a relationship with Erza. She's strong, smart, and not to mention totally sexy...
"I'm back," the blonde almost jumped out of her skin when she heard Erza's voice. The re-quip mage seated herself in front of Lucy and placed a single bowl of ice cream in between them. The celestial mage blinked stupidly at the diary product. Seeing her expression, Erza explained, "They're really busy because of the weather. They didn't have enough ice cream for the both of us so I hope you don't mind sharing." she smiled.
"Uh... Yeah, that's no problem." Lucy forced an awkward chuckle. "Where's my spoon?" she asked, noticing there was only one spoon in the bowl.
"Huh?" the red head frowned and looked down at the bowl. "I guess they forgot to give me another. Sorry, I'll go get you one." she rose from the table.
Lucy looked over at the long line of people at the counter; she grabbed Erza's hand before she could move. "No, that's okay, we can just share." the red head sat back down and after a moment of Lucy smiling, the re-quip mage nodded at their hands. Lucy flushed a bright red when she realized she was still holding the girl's hand she quickly let go and placed her hand in her lap. The celestial mage prayed to her spirits that Erza didn't say anything about it.
She was relieved when the red head took a spoonful of ice cream and popped it in her mouth. She offered the spoon to the blonde and she took it. She copied what Erza had done, making a content sound as the food began melting. The re-quip mage had chosen strawberry, maybe that was all they had left but it still tasted great. They passed the spoon back and forth; Erza took notice of the couple across the room but remained silent. When Lucy handed the utensil back to the red head, instead of taking a bite, she scooped up some of the ice cream and held it near the blonde's mouth.
"Huh?" Lucy blinked a couple of times and raised her eye brow at the girl across from her. "What're you doing?"
"They're doing it." Erza motioned towards the couple Lucy had been staring at earlier. "They seem to be enjoying themselves so I thought it'd be fun if we tried it." she smiled and pressed the cold plastic against her bottom lip. "Open."
Lucy felt her cheeks heating up as she slowly opened her mouth. Erza poked the spoon in her mouth, clearly pleased that the blonde obeyed. The celestial mage ate the ice cream off of the utensil and waited for the red head to take if out of her mouth. Erza was leaning over the table, staring intently at Lucy's face. The blonde leaned back in her chair, averting the re-quip mage's gaze; hoping that she couldn't see the blush on her face. After a few moments of awkwardly staring at the girl, Erza leaned back in her chair, smiled, and offered the spoon to Lucy.
"My turn," the red head opened her mouth before Lucy even took the spoon from her.
Lucy somehow managed to turn a darker shade of red; it wasn't that she didn't want to do it, this was just strange behavior for Erza. Don't get her wrong, Lucy was enjoying this to the fullest extent. It wasn't everyday your crush fed you ice cream and then you get to do the same to her. The celestial mage hesitantly slid the utensil between Erza's parted lips; the re-quip mage licked the ice cream off and then slowly swiped her tongue over her lips. Not even sure what she should think anymore, Lucy passed the spoon back.
They ate the rest of the ice cream in that manner, when they finished they left the small ice cream parlor. Lucy kept her hands clasped in front of her to avoid any contact with Erza; she looked off to the side to avoid eye contact. She wasn't sure why she felt so awkward; she'd always wanted to do that with the re-quip mage. It was probably because it meant more to Lucy than it had to Erza. They walked through the busy city without saying a word to one another. After awhile, they ended up in a less crowded part of the city; Lucy assumed it was a park based on the benches and little bit of grass. This city was practically surrounded by dessert, she was actually happy to see some grass, although it was mostly dirt, and a large tree in the center of the park. It was the first tree she'd seen since they set out for the city.
Lucy sighed and wiped the sweat off her forehead; leaving the cool ice cream parlor was a huge mistake. She'd rather awkwardly sit and stare at the red head than be out in the scorching heat. She was sweating like crazy in her thin clothing and Erza was wearing armor for god's sake. The re-quip mage seemed completely unfazed by the weather but Lucy couldn't help but comment on it.
"Aren't you hot?" Lucy blurted out before she could stop herself. Erza stared at her and she quickly added, "I mean, you're wearing armor and it's like ninety degrees. Aren't you at least a little bit hot?"
"I suppose you're right," Erza shrugged. "It's a little bit warm."
A little bit warm...? I'm practically drowning in sweat and she thinks it's just a little warm? In a blinding flash of light Erza replaced her armor with her casual clothes.
"I'm exhausted," Lucy sighed again. "Do you wanna sit in the shade for a little while?" she asked hopefully.
"Sure," Erza led the way over to the tree and the two of them sat down, leaning against the trunk.
It felt nice just sitting in the shade the tree provided for them. It was still hot as hell but at least the sun wasn't hitting them directly. Her shoulder lightly skimmed Erza's and the blonde quickly scooted away from her. The red head gave her a puzzled look and the celestial mage smiled awkwardly. This was getting ridiculous. Her little crush on the re-quip mage was getting out of control. Erza probably thought she was insane by now. How much longer could it possibly take to cure her love sickness?
"Hey, Lucy," Erza leaned closer to her. "Is something wrong? You're really tense today."
Lucy wasn't sure how to respond; there wasn't anything wrong but she wasn't exactly fine either. Her eyes locked with Erza's for a moment until they came to rest on the red head's lips. They were light pink and wet from where she had been frequently licking them that day. She couldn't hold herself back any longer; the blonde closed the distance between them and pressed her mouth against Erza's. Erza's eyes widened and her body went rigged from the surprise of Lucy's kiss. Her body then relaxed and her eyes slid closed. The re-quip mage pushed the blonde on her back, hovering over her with one hand on the celestial mage's hip and the other one positioned on the ground to keep herself up. Without giving it much though, Lucy swing her arms around the red head's neck and tangled her fingers into her scarlet hair. She felt Erza's tongue brush against her top lip, asking for entrance. She parted her lips, allowing the re-quip mage full access into her mouth. The red head explored every crevice of her mouth and ran her tongue along her teeth. When their lungs started screaming for oxygen, Erza pulled away so they could catch their breath.
Panting and heart slamming against her chest, Lucy stared up at the girl still hovering over her. Their faces still close enough that their noses touched. Her face burned and it turned the same shade as Erza's hair. She couldn't believe that she just did that. She actually kissed Erza. Not only that, Erza had kissed her back instead of breaking her jaw or something.
"What's wrong?" Erza frowned when she saw the distressed look on the blonde's face.
"I can't believe I did that..." Lucy said breathlessly. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to... I don't know what came over me! It was an accident, I swear!" she frantically apologized.
Much to the blonde's confusion, Erza chuckled. "You don't have to apologize."
"Wait, what?" Lucy blinked. "But I kissed you... Even if I do have a crush on you it was-" she broke off mid sentence when she realized what just escaped her mouth.
Erza leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips. "I don't really know anything about love but I do know that I care a lot for you and I want you to be happy." she smiled. "I guess you could say we're accidentally in love."
Lucy's heart melted; finding out that Erza felt the same way about her was better than rent money. She pulled the re-quip mage into a passionate kiss, completely forgetting that they were in a public place. When they pulled away, Lucy made a move to sit up but Erza swiftly pinned her arms above her head.
"There's no escaping me now." she whispered into the blonde's ear.
Feeling Erza's warm breath against her ear sent goose bumps down her spine. The celestial mage grinned; she liked the idea of staying in Erza's grasp. She completely surrendered herself to the re-quip mage and they ended up forgetting all about the job request. Later they found out that Gray and Natsu had a little something of their own going on. The thief got away but there would always be more opportunities to apprehend him. When you're blinded by love nothing seems like a big deal. Unless you're Erza, Lucy had a lot of rage to deal with when they go back to Magnolia.
That's the end of song fic 1/100!
I actually had no idea how to end this XD None the less, it was really fun to write. It's also helping me get back into my writing mojo. I really hope I don't get "Flesh" anytime soon XD I'd have to change the rating from T to M if I did. Then those people who won't let me write lemons will jump all over me and I'll just end up deleting this. Or I'll just put "# whatever: Fles (M)" and those who want to skip it can. Yeah, I think that's what I'll do. I'll try to get the next song fic/chapter up soon!
Please Read & Review! Tell me what you liked and disliked about it! I'm always trying to improve my writing!
Until next time!
