So I still do NOT own Fairy Tail, and I'm still quite bitter that i don't... If I did own it you bet there'd be so much NaLu...
Lucy ran with him, not even conciously thinking about how she was breaking the rules. That is, until she heard a sound behind her oh one of her teachers.
"Oi! You two!" Someone said anxiously "What do you think you're doing?! Get back here immediately-" She knew they went on rambling but Lucy had stopped listening and was paying all her attention to the pink-haired boy, who was still insistently tugging on her arm, pulling her along with him.
"Luce~" He smiled back at her "Don't chicken out on me NOW..." He teased rolling his eyes, only to tug on her arm harder not giving her that choice; which made her let out a surprised breath she had been holding. Her eyes widened and she looked away from his eyes, framed by his rosy colored hair, only to see another staff member in front of them. Letting out a frustrated and now worried whimper and anxiously pointing ahead of them, she tried to warn Natsu of the upcoming threat. Natsu turned his head with a confused expression and when he saw what lay ahead of them, ducked into a small corridor that the blonde had not noticed. Emphasis on the word small, the pinkette had pulled her with him not taking into consideration the size, and now looked down at her, only to be greeted by her blushing face. Her small body was pressing into his at every possible place on their bodies. She shifted against him awkwardly making her hips grind against his, causing his lips to part and her cheeks to inflame. Short pants were escaping her lips after the run, and were actually kind of loud. "Lucy..." he said in a hushed voice, and he put a finger up to his lips to tell her to be quiet.
"Natsu, I can't! I'm nervous and tired and-" that was all she could mutter before he pressed his hot lips to hers, abruptly cutting off all of her words and her breath. At the moment he didn't know exactly why he did that, he knew that kissing her would make her quiet... Which he did want her to be. although he didn't know what exactly came over him to make him do that. An idea is one thing, kissing her is another. He tried being alert and at least check if he could hear the staff coming for them, but he couldn't rely on his sense of smell, all he could smell was Lucy, and just Lucy. Her scent was all around him and making his thoughts haywire. It was like honey and sun mixed together in the rain, scents that alone smelt nice, but together made something that was impossible. Most of his senses were focused on Lucy and the kiss, which he didn't take too much initiative with 'What if this makes things awkward?' was all he could think, so he just settled with his lips against hers. His arms were wrapped around her body and pressed to the concrete wall around them. He tried listening for anything, and found this was his only way of checking for people who were 1) chasing them or 2) could find them like this. 'If someone saw this... Lucy would be so angry with me. I mean, I wouldn't mind. People can think what they want but Lucy...' He remembered her temper and how unruly she could get.
"...and so this guy really-" Gajeel's story of how he had beat up a relatively innocent guy, whose only crime had been disrespecting the great Gajeel, had been cut off by him breaking into a sharp snickering fit.
Erza was the first to question him, "Gajeel... are you okay?" She said perplexed.
Gajeel waved his hand in front of him as if he could wave everything off, "Yeah, yeah... I don't know what you would say about the little fire fuck though.." Everyone around him gave him a quizzical look begging him to go on, and ignoring his current alternate name for the dragon slayer. Gajeel just nodded and went on "Well you see, dragon slayers times can be triggered by a number of things. Sometimes it will be the scent of another dragon slayers time or maybe just pure sexual frustration." Gajeel snickered again. "You see, in the little fire-trucks case, it was because he was being stupid."
Levy was the first to catch on. "Wait, what time, exactly? Don't tell me you mean.." She trailed off, her voice quiet.
Gajeel just nodded, a sly smile appearing on his face. "That's exactly what I mean, Shrimp!"
Levy turned to everyone else in their group "You guys we have to find Lu-chan." she said, he marine brows furrowed. Everyone around them had a confused expression, but everyone got up, unsure of what to do.
Gajeel laughed again,"It's not like she's in any real danger... Yet." That last comment was enough to set everyone off the edge. With Erza screaming at Gajeel to tell them what they knew and Gray laughing giving a comment along the lines of 'Knew Flame-Head was stupid..' but yet still looking concerned underneath that. Gajeel finally gave into Erza's harsh demands within what Erza would describe as an 'excruciatingly long' thirty second time-interval. "Fire-Truck over there... Just went into heat." he said, scrunching up his nose. "Can smell the punk from here."
Natsu's thoughts became more clouded by the minute, even after he had pulled away from the blonde, who had a flushed face and a surprised expression which told him 'I'm not even going to try to understand what just happened.' She let him pull her along, trying to find a stealth way out of the school. After having run around for a good 30 minutes, Lucy had started to complain and made Natsu give up his ridiculous idea of being 'stealth', finally just settling on the front door of the building. Natsu continued to hurry until he felt they were a safe distance away.
Natsu turned around to Lucy and sighed, a wide grin plastered across his face "Luce~! You did it!" He said with a triumphant edge in his voice. Lucy just nodded and sat down, tired from everything, left confused and wondering, and not even sure of where she was. She was overwhelmed and left for her thoughts to wander. 'Could he... Have actually kissed me? Or was he just being an idiot and trying to shut me up? If he was just trying to make me be quiet, aren't there better ways? Did he even realize how a girl could take that?!'
The pink haired mage was also deep in thought, 'Damnit! She's probably so pissed with me! I didn't really... I don't know, I... I want her. What am I supposed to do...?' He got up and walked over to her, and helped her up to her feet. "Lucy... We need to get out of here. Some fuckers decided we needed to be followed, ya know, like Gray." He said with an angry tinge to his otherwise uncharacteristically harsh voice.
"Natsu, this isn't a good time to suddenly run away I think we should go back. Maybe our teacher did come back-" She was starting to come to her own conclusions, which were wrong, but instilling fear at his unusual behavior nonetheless. The blonde tried to prove her point by walking back in the direction of where she was most certain Fairy Academy was. To no avail, the pinkette dragon slayer had covered his body in flames and was walking towards her.
"Lucy... Don't tell me you're going to chicken out now?" He said those same words as before, now completely differently. He continued to walk towards her, but then her mouth opened to form a scream, which only barely came out because he had dashed towards her and had started running, far into the forest, far away from Fairy Academy.
"DAMNIT!" Gajeel yelled, crushing his fist into a wall angrily. "I lost the fuckers scent! He covered it well, he released his scent all around him and now... he could be anywhere." he said through tightly locked teeth, shaking his head.
