Me: -crying- the world hates me
Lucy: W-why do you say that?
Me: cause I have been trying to right this stupid thing 3 times already and my comp keeps going off and not saving it! –cries-
Natsu: Its fine Shelby-chan! You can just make it better!
Gray: Yeah! And include more GrayLu moments than the last one! –smirks-
Natsu: Fuck that! How about NO GrayLu moments and 1000 times more NaLu! –grins-
Natsu and Gray: -fighting in the background-
Lucy and Happy: Shelby-chan does not own Fairy Tail or any of its characters no matter how much she wants too!
Me: AYE! T^T
Erza walked into the back room and laid Lucy onto the bed and sighed looking at her. Why did she suddenly pass out like that? Was she hiding something from them. It was a few more minutes before Wendy, a blue haired young dragon slayer with brown eyes, and Charlie, a white exceed, came into the room panting. Wendy raced over to the blond and concern washed over her gentle features. "What happened to her Erza? Was she this pale before? Did she say if she was sick? Did she mention if-" Erza patted her head and smiled comfortingly at the young mage who calmed down a bit and started to breath again. "I do not know what happened to her Wendy… all I know is that she walked over to the request board and passed out when talking with Natsu… can you help her Wendy?" Erza asked in a serious tone. The young girl nodded and prepared to work.
When it quieted down just a bit the door burst open with a worried looking Happy and a fighting Natsu and Gray. They all stopped what they were doing when a piercing scream ripped through the air. They all looked at the blond mage before she lat out another when Wendy touched the spot she had been working on. She raised up Lucys shirt, her eyes widened at the sight of a rib poking the skin and a dark purple and black bruise surrounding her entire right side. Natsu ran over, almost knocking Erza and Wendy down one his way, and sat right beside of Lucy in a spare chair. He grabbed her hand and tried to soother her but it didn't help her that much at first as she whimpered and screamed again when Wendy Started to heal the wound.
Gray came over to the other side of Lucy and grabbed her other hand in his. His grip tightened as he thought of how this could have happened. He thought back to their most recent mission as his eyes widened as he figured it out. "Lucy got hurt last time we were on a job… right in that exact same spot… you don't think that's how that happened do you?" he asked pointing to the bruise on her side. They all looked shocked at first until they heard a growl from Natsu as he looked at the blond mage. "its all my fault! If I had just got to her before that bastard hit her with all of the magic he had left then she wouldn't have that…" he thought, blaming himself for whatever pain his partner was in.
Erza noticed the darker aura coming from the fire user and sighed."It is no ones fault but the person who did this to her." Erza stated as if reading the dragon slayers mind. His head shot up too look at her. "Wendy please proceed with the healing." Erza ordered witch got a small "Hai!" from the young dragon slayer. Happy and Charlie had decided to leave a little while ago so they wouldn't be it the way. Lucy screamed but not as loudly while she clutched Natsus and Grays hands. They both blushed slightly and squeezed her hands reassuringly. Wendy finished up and sighed feeling that her friend would be fine. "Well that is all I can do! She will fine now she just needs rest is all!" Wendy said doing a once over and the sleeping girl and smiled "if she needs anything else come and find me I will be with Romeo!" she blushed a bit and walked out leaving team Natsu in silence.
It was awhile before Erza spoke. "Natsu! Take Lucy home and make sure she is ok. Do not leave her side. Make sure nothing happens to her or I WILL punish you. Do you understand? Tell her what has happened and make sure not to leave her." she ordered, giving a glare to make her orders clear.
"A-aye Sir!" Natsu yelped standing up quickly and gently picking up the celestial mage bridal style and walking to the guild doors. He started grinning and blushing when he heard a small "Natsu" from the sleeping girl as Lucy cuddled closer to him. He couldn't help but smirk back at Gray as he left.
Gray rose up to run after them but Erza had stopped him. He spun around "Erza! Why let that flaming idiot go instead of me! He could burn her house down or worse Lucy herself!" He yelled while trying to get away from the scarlet mage. She sighed and punched him in his gut successfully knocking the ice mage out. She dragged him to a table where Juvia, a water mage with blue hair and darkish eyes, sat with a dreamy look on her face.
"Juvia! Watch Gray I will be back to get him after I eat my cake. If he awakens before I return tell him that we shall check on Lucy after I am finished. Do you understand?" Juvia nodded vigorously at the chance to be able to be with her Gray-samma…alone… "Waaah~ what indecent thoughts Juvia is having!" She said blushing like mad. Just then Gray shot up bonking heads with the water mage. "Juvia! Where is Erza!" he exclaimed, firmly grabbing the girls shoulders. "G-gray-samma and J-juvias faces… are so c-close… so many i-indecent t-thoughts!" Juvia said as she passed out with hearts in her eyes. He quirked an eyebrow at the girl and sighed. He jumped back and turned to see Erza standing there watching them with an amused look on her face.
"Gray, we shall visit Lucy after I finish eating my cake, I suggest you eat as well." She stated returning to the bar eating her cake. He sighed and followed ordering food for himself and began to eat. His mind kept wondering to Lucy, was she ok? Why hadent she told any of them she was hurt. He sighed and shook his head focusing on his meal. He then found his mind wondering back to her. Her smile that could light up a room, her eyes that you could get lost in, her lips that was just so big that he wanted to smash his own on to them and- WAIT he could not think like that! His blush deepened and he mentally slapped himself. He wanted to tell her how he felt but thought she would turn him away or think of him as joking. He didn't want to do something stupid but he did want to tell her. He sighed as he focused onto his meal again keeping his mind far away from his previous thoughts.
~to Natsu and Lucy~
Natsu had been there for a while now with no sigh of his best friend waking up anytime soon. He yawned and climbed into the bed with her wrapping an arm around her waist. He didn't know why but he wanted her to be closer to him. She stirred in her sleep and turned to him nuzzling ser face in the crook of his neck causing him to blush harder than he had in his entire life. He grinned down at her when his name slipped out of her mouth again. He hugged her tighter to him and fell asleep not long after.
Lucy felt something warm around her waist, face, and the front of her body. Her eyes fluttered open and looked up to see Natsus grinning face "Mornin Luce!" he said, sitting up bringing her up with him. "Are you okay now? You don't feel weak or anything do you?" Natsu said coming closer to her. She blushed bright red and looked down. "N-no.. I'm fine Natsu… umm what happened anyway?" she asked not wanting to show him her face. He frowned down at her a bit but then just started grinning. "Well when we were talking earlier you just sorta blacked out…Wendy came to heal you but then you started screaming when she touched your side… why didn't you tell me you got that hurt on our last job?" he asked making her look at him. His brows knitted in frustration and his usual grin was replaced with a frown.
Lucy blush lessened when she heard this and looked him in the eyes. "I-I umm well I didn't think it was that big of a deal… I just thought I got banged up bad is all… you Erza and Gray always have marks like that so I thought I shouldn't wine about mine… I didn't think of anything else… I'm sorry Natsu." She said looking away feeling horrible that she kept that from them… 'specially him. Natsu sighed making her look at him. "its fine Luce… just promise me you wont do that. EVER again ok?" he started to lean closer to her feeling a slight blush on his cheeks. She blushed darkened 10 shades of red as she closed her eyes. Just then they heard "They liiiiike each other!" Lucy jerked back and ran after the cat "Shadup you stupid fur ball!" while they chased each other Natsu growled unhappily. I had almost KISSED her for crying out loud! And then his little friend had to ruin it! She was gonna let me! Wait… she was gonna let me! Maybe she did feel the same.
Just then he heard a crash and saw a twitching Happy and an angry Lucy. He grinned and chuckled at the sight. She had sighed and grabbed some clothes. "I am goonna take a bath ok? Wait here" she said before making her way into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her. He looked after her the grin leaving his face. "Why am I so stupid! I shouldn't have done that… why did I anyway? Its not like I like Lucy like that…right?" he said in a whisper, Happy heard him and flew over to his best friend. "Natsu… " the blue exceed patted the boys shoulder "Oh Happy what did she do to you anyways?"Natsu said the grin returning to his face when the neko shuttered. "I don't wanna talk about it Natsu…" he then flew over the bed and went to sleep. Natsu sighed and laid back down waiting for Lucy to get out of the shower.
Lucy turned on the water to the tub and undressed, she stepped in and let the hot water soak into her skin. "Whats gotten into me? I shouldn't have even let him get that close to my face in the first place. I wonder what he was thinking anyway…wait its Natsu he doesn't think" she giggled at the thought of Natsu trying to think. She hummed while washing her body and her hair. She got out after awhile and dried herself, she then put on her pink tanktop and a pair of pink and red short shorts. When she walked out of the bathroom she laughed. On her bed was a sleeping Natsu, who had no shirt on, was being suffocated by Happy who was covering his face. She walked over to Happy and poked him "Happy... Happy… wake up I got a fish~" she cooed and the little exceed jumped up yelling "FISH!" and tackled Lucy to the ground. "Where is my fish Lucyyy? You don't got one with you!" He said looking at her with teary eyes. "Its in the kitchen Happy I wouldn't tell you I had one when I didn't" she giggled watching the exceed fly across the room to the kitchen and eat any fish that was there.
Natsu woke up when the fur ball left his face and was watching quietly, grinning at how nice Lucy was being to the cat she had tried to kill not long ago. He chuckled when he saw Lucy laughing her ass of at the cat when he chocked on a fish bone from eating to fast. She whipped her head around when she heard him. He grinned at her before getting up and reaching a hand out to her, "You know its not smart to just keep sitting there right?". She laughed and took his hand gladly as he pulled her up "Yeah I know but its just to funny watching him eat" she began laughing again when the cat shoved two fish in his mouth. She blushed when she looked down and they were still holding hands, "u-um Natsu? C-can I have my h-hand back now?"
He looked at her for a second before looking down blushing, he let go of her hand reluctantly and sighed. "Are you feeling any better now?"
"Yeah! I feel fine I just want some sleep is all" she looked at him smilling.
"Alright welp lets sleep!" he yelled jumping on her bed falling asleep instantly.
She blushed while trying to move him over to the other side of the bed and then climbed onto it. He rolled back over and wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her tightly towards his chest. She blushed crazily and snuggled up to the warmth of his body. She sighed as she drifted off into sleep. What she didn't know was that Natsu was awake, watching her as she snuggled closer to him, blushing badly. When she was asleep he lifted her head with his free hand and looked at her face, she looked so peaceful. He leaned closer to her face as he took in her scent, it was so intoxicating, vanilla and strawberries, and her natural smell which he couldn't describe. He was just about to close the gap between them when the door burst down and Lucys eyes shot open. She looked up at him and blushed madly "N-natsu…"
"NATSU! Did Lucy wake up yet- AHH! Sorry for disturbing you!" Erza yelled staring at the two, her face brighter than her hair.
Gray poked his head in and his jaw dropped. Natsu was in the same bed as Lucy…and it looked like he was gonna KISS her! Oh HELL No! He jumped in and pushed Natsu away and brought Lucy close to him. "What the hell do you think you were doing flame brain!" Lucy, who was blushing even more from being held this close to Gray in his boxers, was just letting him hold her tightly to him. He wasn't hat like Natsu but he wasn't as cold like she thought he would be.
"The heck ice princess! We were sleeping!" the dragon slayer yelled from the floor getting ready to punch Gray in the face. He stopped when he say how close Lucy was to him and she wasn't trying to move away. "WHY ARE YOU HOLDING HER LIKE THAT!"
"Cause you were trying to do..umm.. indecent things to her!" the ice mage hollered back at him.
Natsu was now very confused, "Wait. I was NOT doing anything indece- wait whats indecent" Erza shook her head, Gray gave him the you-complete-idiot look and Lucy face palmed. He looked at them "what? Why are you actin like that! What does that mean!" he started to yell. "It means erm…well its what happened when people love each other a lot and-" Erza said but Natsu interrupted her. "So? I love Lucy a lot and she loves me! So how is indecent if we were in the same bed if we love each other?" He asked innocently looking at them. Gray tensed up tightening his grip on Lucy, Erza just looked at him gaping and Lucy.. she was the redest color she had ever turned in her life. "What? I cant say I love my nakama?" He asked getting pissed off from watching Gray hold the blond closer to his chest.
"Oh that's what you meant!" Gray shouted loosening up a bit. Lucy had a sadder expression on her face which confused Natsu just shook her head and muttered unbelieveable.
"What else could I have meant ice princess!" Natsu shouted regretting it in an instant seeing Lusys sad expression worsen. Why couldn't he keep his mouth shut!
"Don't start with me you flame bastard!" Gray shouted letting the celestial mage go and grinding heads with Natsu.
"SHADUP YOU ICE FREAK!"
"MAKE ME FLAMETHROWER!"
"Gray…Natsu…" they both looked at Lucy before shrieking and hugging each other from the evil aura and the death glares coming off of her. "DON'T FIGHT IN MY HOUSE!" she yelled giving them both a hard Lucy Kick. Erza had an amused face when the boys went flying out of the window and left Lucy huffing after them. "AND DON'T COME BACK TILL YOU SETTEL YOU FIGHT!" with that the girl closed the window. She went back over to her bed and sat down sighing. "Lucy? What is troubling you?" Erza asked sitting beside of the angry girl. "No..its nothing Erza" she smiled slightly at the other girl, "Lets head back to the guild now ok?" she said getting up an walking over to her closet getting a jacket and a red checkered skirt out and put them on while slipping her boots on. Erza laughed slightly at the sudden change in mood. "Alright Lucy lets go."
As they were walking, Happy flew beside of them. "Lucyy are you going to pick a job now? Natsu really wanted to go on a job with you when you got better!" the exceed yelled excitedly. "Oh yeah! I forgot about that! Hey Erza, are you and Gray coming as well?" Lucy asked looking at the mage beside of her. "Why yes, we would love to go on a mission with you. Gray will be happy to be going on a mission. But tell him that he has to go with us, just incase ok?" Erza stated looking at the blond. She nodded "Mh!" she said running ahead and opening the guild doors "Good Morning!" she yelled. "LU-CHAN!" Levy, a script bage with blue hair, came running at her and tackled her to the ground, "Are you okay?" she asked the girl that was under her. "Yes Levy-chan I'm ok now I just needed sleep" Lucy smiled up at her. "Good!" Levy chimed, dragging the blond to a table with her. "So Lu-chan have you finished you book yet?" she asked smiling rightly and the girl. Lucy sweat dropped and sighed, "Not yet.. I wrote more of it before I came here earlier but I didn't get to finish it." The blond said, Levy sighed but smiled more "Okay Lu-chan but remember I get to read it first!" Levy raised her hand in the air, Lucy laughed and said a quick Ok to the girl before the guild doors flew open again.
"Oi! Lucy!" Gray said running over to the blond, she looked at him and smiled causing him to blush a little.
"Yeah Gray?" he looked around to see Levy watching them amused and he blushed more.
"Come with me I need to talk to you." Was all he said before grabbing her hand and walking to the back door of the guild.
Levy smiled slyly "Wonder what that's all about"
"You wanna go spy?" Cana, a card mage with long brown hair with a curvy figure and a barrel of ale, said with a grin on her face.
"Heck yeah!" they said at the same time silently following the two.
~Lucy and Gray~
Lucy looked around before looking the ice mage in the eyes, "What did you need to talk to me about Gray?" she said smiling at him.
"W-well umm… Ok L-lucy you know that your one of my closest friends right?" he said blushing.
"Yeah? But what does that have to do with anything?" she asked looking into his eyes more trying to figure out what he meant.
"Y-you see… L-lucy I-i-I umm.." he trailed off looking away and grabbed both of her hands in his. "I uhh.."
"G-gray what are you trying to say-" she was cut off bye the boys lips crashing into hers. She got wide-eyed and blushed furiously. He pulled away and looked at her.
"Lucy.. I like you more then just that.." he said. All she could do was stare at him, dumbfounded at what she was hearing from him and what he had just done.
~Cana and Levy~
They both stared at the scene in front of them wide. They had just heard Gray GRAY of all people confess to LUCY, and to top it all off watched him kiss her! They looked at each other and backat their friends then back to one another. They ran back into the guild and grabbed Erza and dragged her to an empty table and told her what had happened. Erza looked ready to kill someone. "Why did that idiot do that! We all know who Lucy likes if it isn't obvious and he liked her too! They are just so dense to even realize it and he had to go and do something so…so..so IDIOTIC!" she yelled gaining curious looks from others. Mira went over to them and they explained AGAIN to another girl. Mira smile fell into a frown, "But what about Natsu! Does he know?"
"Do I know what? And where is Lucy at she was supposed to be getting a job for us." he said looking around for his blond friend.
"N-natsu!" Levy yelped, "U-um Lu-chan went to talk with G-gray outside." she squeaked, earning a glare out of the others there. Natsu looked at her then grinned "Thanks Levy! I need to talk to her about the job anyways!" he said walking towards the back.
~Gray and Lucy~
"G-gray…" Lucy looked down, blushing. She couldn't look him in the eyes right now, he sighed and made her look at him.
"Lucy…I know you might not feel the same but I just needed to tell you how I felt." he said looking upset when she didn't say anything.
"W-what am I supposed to say? I-I don't know h-how to feel right n-now! I do like you but-" this made her blush and look at him. He was staring at her wide eyed and blushing. He did hear her right, right? She said she liked him! He leaned down again and was just centimeters away from her lips when the back door flew open to reveal a very pissed off Natsu. He was giving the ice mage a death glare.
"The hell do you think your doing you ice pervert!"
Me: TaDa! I think this was a very good chappy :D
Natsu: WHY! Why did Gray get to kiss her and I didn't! do you hate me Shelby!
Gray: Cause she loves me more right Shelby?
Me: N-no! I just wanted to try some GrayLu stuff! Don't warry Natsu I have a plan –whispers to him-
Natsu: YOSH! I am fine with that! –grins-
Gray: What did you tell him?
Me: oh nothing ;)
Lucy: -sweat drop- I don't think I even want to know…
Happy: AYE!
Me: Well there ya have it! Hope you enjoyed it!
