Hi people! Okay, I just read the chapter 344. I'm the only one who think that FT becoming a bit senseless. Now Erza is a child? Seriously? Mashima? She no longer has her luxury breasts and it made me sad…
Anyway, let's continue with the story.
Chapter II – What happened yesterday?
…
Since Erza was not shy in Natsu's presence, she sat up in bed and removed their blanket. Titania felt some pain around her nipples, so she looked down at her breasts and made the first (but not last and not most) shocking discovery.
"Na… Natsu, wha… what the hell is this?!" Her eyes widened in shock as she pointed at her nipples. Natsu's eyes widened as well. Her nipples were pierced, both of them. Barbell, 1.5 mm in diameter and about 13 mm in length was threaded into each nipple. Judging by the degree of healing the piercing was made no less than 4 days ago, but considering Erza's rapid regeneration ability no one could tell for sure how much time has passed. Nevertheless, most importantly, the spheres on each of barbells' end; they were not spheres at all. It was relatively small, about 4.5 mm in normalized radius, but very high quality engraved dragon's heads, looking in opposite directions. But, as if it was not enough, Natsu's sight was on lower parts of Erza's body, somewhere at her belly button. Erza forced herself to stop gazing at her nipples and looked at that what Natsu was looking at.
There was large, no, huge tattoo. Natsu was examining it with a very strange feeling, as if he was dreaming and couldn't wake up. It was huge, red-gold fire-breathing dragon spewing flames, standing on his rear claws. Upper spurts of flame, spewed by dragon, was on Erza's neck, a large dragon head, with burning eyes and sharp teeth, was between her shoulder blades. The dragon's forward claws and right wing occupied almost the entire area of her back's lower half. The left wing passed from the right side of her back to her stomach, while the dragon's rear body half occupied her right buttock and almost entire right hip. Natsu pulled blanket further away and traced dragon's tail, which was wrapped around her feet, making four loops and ended at her ankle. Approximately 40-45% of Erza's skin surface was covered with a single tattoo. But this, however still was not the last discovery.
"N-natsu…" Erza stuttered. While dragon slayer, as if he was spellbound, was examining the dragon's image on Erza's body, she was able to take a good look at dragon slayer's own body. He got a few pictures too. First, on both of his forearms was illustrated a single-handed sword, similar to those that Erza wore when she was in her Armadura Fairy armor, just a bit more decorated and curled with laurel branches. The most interesting image, however, was on his back. An Angel, with large white wings, scarlet hair and shining eyes, was pictured on his back. The Angel's wings covered his shoulder blades, lower part of shoulders, his armpits and even backside of his forearms. Her body was along Natsu's whole spine, she was in metallic, but quite revealing, armor, similar to Erza's Black Wing armor, just without wings and light-colored. The angel wore a flaming bastard sword and large heater shield with an image of a rising sun on it and inscription "Scarlet guardian-angel".
When they have finished studying each other bodies Natsu and Erza looked at each other with an expression of absolute idiocy.
"Natsu, what happened with us?" Erza was still shocked.
Natsu found a clock upon cabinet next to the bed – 8:15 AM.
"8:15 AM" Natsu pronounced with empty eyes. "We lost 18 hours…" Natsu really hoped that this is at least the next day, not a next week or month or…
Erza looked around one more time, it looked like they were in the motel room. A very good motel room, by the way. It had at last three living rooms and a bathroom. Furniture was also of very good quality – no doubts – this room was quite expensive.
"Last thing I remember – we went to the bank to cash Mister Glory's check…" Erza mumbled as she looked at the table in the room's center. A bag, clearly filled with money, was there.
"Okay, looks like we cashed the check, and then…Oh!" Natsu grabbed his head. "Wait Erza, I think I remembered something…" They both were still naked, but this was the last thing that bothered them right now.
Natsu started to talk – "It was about 15 PM…"
17 hours ago – April 3, 3:00 PM, town of Onibas.
"I must admit, Natsu, I did not think that everything might turn out so well," Erza said as she was walking along the street, patting the bag with 6 500 000 jewels. Both mages were in a very good mood, thanks to money they earned (and, maybe, to Glory's wine).
"I told you. Nothing can go wrong if we take our mission seriously. Maybe now, thanks to us, our guild will get more good requests!" The dragon-mage agreed. Everything turned out really good. One more hour and they will be back in Magnolia, no one will see something suspicious in their absence.
"Okay Natsu, I hope the wine ain't hindered your ability to fly?" Erza asked with slightly mischievous smile.
"Of course not, Erza, you know as good as I that I'm immune to alcohol, equip your heat-resistant armor and we are ready to fly!" He saluted to her.
"Hmm, yeah, about heat…" Erza's cheeks became a bit blushed. "You know, there is one thing that I wanted to do for quite some time now…" She approached him. "Stay still and just let me taste this…" She suddenly sealed his lips with hers.
Natsu felt her tongue on his lips. He, however reacted as if he was expecting something like that (well, he did, actually). Salamander was not taken aback, he tasted her lips with his tongue. Virtually, dragon-mage already felt the same desire. They kissed for about 30 seconds. When they broke their kiss, Natsu looked at very satisfied Erza.
"Hmm, interesting. Erza, your lips still have a taste of Glory's wine, or they got this taste by themselves?" He licked his lips. "So gentle, sweet and slightly tart flavor…"
"Oh, scorches!" She smiled playfully and touched her lips with her finger. "I can feel this rough power of flames even on your lips…" Imperceptibly she hugged Natsu's waist with her right hand. "However, I think I should've been expecting something like that from someone who smashed one of the Ten Wizards Saints with just a few blows… I want to taste more of it," She looked into Natsu's eyes and moved in for another kiss.
Natsu, however, avoided it. "Wait a minute, Ms. Wine lips. I'll let you taste me as long as you want, but before that, you'll let me check something I wanted to check for quite some time," He looked over her body.
"Oh, and what's that?" Erza smiled, looks like she already understood his intentions.
"This!" He said as he grabbed her breasts and squeezed them a bit. Erza let out a slight groan.
"Yeah, just as I've thought…" Looks like he was impressed. Maybe her boobs were a tiny bit lesser than Lucy's, but more resilient (Natsu had a chance to touch Lucy's breasts on some occasions).
"And? How are they?" She looked at Natsu questioningly, as she already was embracing him with both hands.
"They are magnificent!" Natsu replied with some animalistic expression in his eyes. "They are large, sweet and very elastic, and fit my hands perfectly…"
Erza moved closer to Natsu, there was something very lustful inside her eyes. "And looks like they like your hands, hold them a bit longer. Now, keep your word and let me…" Erza pulled his head closer and kissed him again, while Natsu continued to massage her breasts. Neither of them really cared that they are still in town, in the middle of quite crowded street, and people around were staring at them quite disapprovingly.
Present – April 4, 8:15 AM.
Natsu examined his hands, making squeezing-like moves by his fingers. He perfectly remembered the feeling he had while he was touching Erza's breast. He looked at the knight-mage, who was staring into some point of the room, licking her lips with her tongue, it looked like she really remembered Natsu's taste on them.
'I just wanted to taste him… and I did it that simple? Why? I was curious about it for some time, but I thought that doing this would be unsuitable… However, it did not feel strange or wrong back then… the feeling was very good, actually… hmm… And he did not resist… he was not shocked and did not run from me in childish horror… furthermore, he even complimented me!' Erza thought.
'OK, unlike Lucy, if someone accidentally would touched Erza's breasts, she may just ignore it, she's probably not even aware of what "sexual harassment" is. But just like this?' Natsu shot a glance at her, 'She didn't kick my ass for that, in contrary, she said she liked it. Nevertheless, why have I done it? Since when am I so interested in such things? Okay, I am interested of course; I'm a normal guy, but… Oh well, at least now I'm sure that her nipples were not pierced back then…' Their memories continued to return…
16 hours 35 minutes until Erza and Natsu have awoken – April 3, 3:25 PM, town of Onibas.
"M-m-m-m-m-m…" Erza moaned when Natsu pinched her nipples. "Naughty, naughty boy," She smiled lustfully; her left hand slipped down and pinched Natsu's ass. He, however did not show any reaction. Erza was about to bite his neck, but suddenly she felt that someone tried to steal their bag with the money, using some sort of telekinesis magic. That someone, however, was no match for the lightning reflexes of strongest team's mages of Fairy Tail. Natsu and Erza both grabbed the thief by his collar (her collar, to be more precise).
"And just what do we have here?" Natsu asked with narrowed eyes. "Using magic to steal goods from other people…" They hold the thief, who appeared to be some black-haired, cute enough girl, about 16 years old.
Erza gave her a menacing glare, "Interrupting my kiss is a serious crime." Her eyes flashed, she summoned a one-handed sword and pointed its edge to the girl's throat. "What can you say in your defense?"
The poor girl trembled, she obviously was terrified. "Wha… ple… wait… I… just… food…" The unlucky thief gasped, she was not able to breathe freely, because she was lifted from the ground by her collar.
"Money for food?" Natsu asked with extreme disapproval in his voice. "You are a mage! Find yourself a guild, take missions, and earn money, just like we did!" The dragon slayer did not like when someone used magic to abuse people or to commit crimes.
"Now, for your punishment," Erza raised her sword with intention to hit girl's ass with broad side of the blade, it looked like Titania intended to give this girl a good spanking.
"Wait Erza, I have a wager to propose," Natsu caught Erza's hand that held the sword.
"What wager? I'm listening," Her mischievous smile returned to her face.
Natsu looked at the Onibas station building, which was at least 3 kilometers away, most likely even more. "I bet I can throw her to attic of the station's main building, from here, through that small window," He pointed at the round window, almost atop of dome-shaped roof of station building.
"Wha… wai… no… please… don't! I may die…" But Erza shut her mouth with her gloved hand and squeezed it.
"Silence girl, mages do not die from such a trifle. Besides, when you become a mage or thief, you should expect that someone will kick your ass sooner or later, and since you are both mage and thief, you may receive a really harsh kick. I accept the bet, Natsu, what are the stakes?" Her eyes were burning with passion; she never could decline a wager.
Natsu glanced to the skies and then spoke out, "Okay, stakes… If I fail, I'll give you my share of the fast mission completion bonus from Mr. Glory. But if I succeed…" He took a deep breath, "If I'll succeed you will give me your panties, which is already a bit wet, as I can smell".
Crowd of people already gathered around them, most of the town folks could not understand what is going on, but they looked at the poor thief-girl with sympathy, most likely because no one knew that this girl is a thief and because Natsu and Erza looked very weird.
Erza licked her lips, "Hmm, 250 000 jewels against my wet panties… All right, seems equal. I agree with your terms," Her eyes burned with lust. "Now, show me the best dragon slayer kick!" She let the girl's mouth free.
The girl, however, remained silent. She was too scared to say something. "All right, thief, don't let me down!" Natsu cheered her up, and then shouted "Karyū no Kōshū!" [Fire Dragon's Kick Ass]. He landed his burning feet directly at girl's butt, passing huge propulsion to her. She flew at the station building's direction and hit the target perfectly. Natsu was able to hear the sound of shattered glass…
Present – April 4, 8:35 AM.
Erza sat on bed with facepalm. No, she actually was an adherent of idea that every crime should be adequately punished, but that what Natsu did wasn't a punishment, it was an irresponsible ostentation. "Natsu, you're moron…" She said in the end.
"I'm sorry…" Natsu sat holding his head, he felt himself ashamed. "I thought it'd be fun… But that wasn't just me! You didn't try to stop me, in contrary – you almost encouraged me to do it!"
"I know…" Erza admitted with sigh… "But why?!" Looks like they weren't thinking clearly back then...
16 hours 5 minutes until Erza and Natsu have awoken – April 3, 3:55 PM, town of Onibas.
"Direct hit!" Natsu shouted victoriously as he raised his hands in the air. Townspeople were shocked by his behavior, to do such a thing to the young girl… However, that was not the end of it.
"All right, Natsu, you win…" Erza said and, not lifting up her skirt, she pulled off from self her panties and hand it over to Natsu, saying, "Here is your prize. As they say – if you pledge don't hedge." The crowd came to standstill, seeing this.
"Oh, it's not my prize yet, just a mere preview…" Natsu whispered as he took the piece of her clothes. Unlike Lucy, who owns (and wears) some kinky underwear, Erza's underwear was nothing special – teal panties with yellow teddy bears. "How cute…" Natsu smiled as Erza's cheeks blushed a little. Who could imagine that under all that armor she wore such a girlish underwear… By the way, she seemingly cared only about Natsu's reaction – the crowd of people around was completely ignored, which was too weird even for Erza.
Natsu brought the panties to his nose and made a deep breath. "Oh yeah, it definitely worth a risk of 250k jewels." As he said it, Erza face flushed a bit more, but her eyes were still bold and full of lust. Natsu hid her panties in his pocket. "I know much of different smells Erza, but this one was definitely best in my life," He licked his lips.
"All right Natsu, let us continue that we started then," She grabbed his arms and placed them on her tits. Natsu immediately noticed what her bra was gone (looks like she ex-quipped it). Then she almost jumped on him, wrapping her legs around his waist and started to kiss, pushing her tongue inside his mouth, demanding for entrance. Even through his shirt Natsu was able to feel Erza's exposed crotch.
He let her in, while his tongue went to explore her mouth, examining her neat but sharp teeth. Just like he – she clearly was a predator. "What are neat little teeth. All right, now I'm certain – Glory's wine has nothing to do with it – it's you who tastes like a best wine in the world." Natsu said when Erza broke off their kiss to take a breath. "Why do we're doing such weird things, Erza?" Natsu asked, looking into her eyes.
"I don't care, Natsu" She replied carelessly. "I wanted to do this since that R-system incident, but I felt shame, fear of rejection, public pressure. I thought that it is not for me at all. But now, I don't know why, but I doesn't not feel any shame, I'm not afraid and now I know – there is nothing bad in doing this," She winked and glued her lips to his again.
Present – April 4, 9:00 AM.
"You wanted to do this since then?" Natsu asked from blushing Erza, "Really?"
"Um… I… Well, I… Sort off…" The knight-mage stuttered.
"Oh, right: what others conceal, Erza reveal…" Natsu smiled.
"What?!" Erza blushed even more.
"Oh, nothing. I think I remember what happened next," Natsu informed.
15 hours 40 minutes until Erza and Natsu have awoken – April 3, 4:20 PM, town of Onibas.
They continued kissing, Erza still was hanging on Natsu, with her arms and legs curled around his neck and waist, respectively. Natsu massaged her breasts and periodically pinching her hard, erected nipples, making her to moan slightly. None of them seemed to care about people around them. Natsu already feel wetness on his shirt at the point where Erza's exposed crotch contacted him. He felt arousal rising inside him. However…
"There they are! Get them!" Someone shouted, voice came from the side alley, which was connected to the square where Natsu and Erza were. Fairy Tail mages both turned their heads toward voice's source.
"Crap! I bet this is that damn girl, she sold us out!" Natsu exclaimed as they saw a military platoon approaching them with weapons ready.
"We can't make the riot in the middle of the town, let's run!" Erza shouted, grabbed their bag with her left hand, and shouted "Entei no Yoroi: Za Naito!" [The Knight: Flame Empress Armor] Now red-black armor covered her body as she was still hanging on Natsu.
"Hold tight now, Karyū no Enyoku!" [Fire Dragon's Flame Wings] Natsu's spell created a thermobaric wave of heat that threw away some gawkers, who stood to close. Two burning wings appeared behind Natsu's back, flame covered his legs. "So long, suckers!" He teased their pursuers and soared into the sky.
Usually Erza tried to avoid conflicts with authorities, scolding Natsu for making mess in the cities, but now she couldn't help it, she just can't stop giggling. The fact that now they were running from the law made her very excited for some unexplainable reason.
"How that damn thief could sell us like that, after we let her go without punishment?" Natsu was frustrated.
"I don't think it was she, Natsu, most probably one of the townspeople did that, after he or she has seen that you gave her a kick…" Erza reasoned, tightening her grip on Natsu's body.
"Yeah, maybe, however, I think the last drop of people's patience was when you took off your panties and gave it to me," Natsu smirked.
Erza, however, wondered "Hmm? My panties? Why?" That's Erza for you, after all. Looks like she does not think what this is extremely indecent behavior. At least now…
Natsu smiled, "You are hopeless… Maybe this is why you looks so lovely for me?" Erza's hold on him became even tighter, she liked to be praised, no matter for what reason.
Erza looked to the ground, "Natsu, where are we going? You fly into the opposite direction from Magnolia," Erza asked, furthermore, she already noticed that Natsu has something on his mind, by his face expression.
"Yep," Dragon slayer replied, "We're going to Oshibana,"
Present – April 4, 9:20 AM, town of Oshibana.
Erza crawled over Natsu, to the window upon bed, and opened the curtain. "Yes, I'm recognizing the station building – we are in Oshibana. I remember how excited I became when you told me why we were heading here," She closed her eyes with a dreamy smile.
Natsu himself blushed a little "Yeah, I was too…"
14 hours 45 minutes until Erza and Natsu have awoken – April 3, 5:15 PM, between Onibas and Oshibana.
"Oshibana? Why?" Erza wondered as she became very curious – it was unusual behavior for Natsu. And, for some unknown reason, she got a hope that Salamander has some kind of present for her.
"Do you remember our last time when we been there? When Eisenwald tried to make a mess?" Natsu asked.
"As if I could forget about that," Erza replied, that was quite an adventure.
"Yeah, okay. So, when we were walking through the crowd around station, I felt myself very sick, but still was able to overhear some guys talking. They were afraid of that terrorists could destroy a restaurant named Basiolum* [A/N - it means "tender kiss" on Latin]. When we got out from the station through hole what Virgo dug for us, I saw that restaurant accidentally. Now I want to invite you there for a dinner," Natsu explained and Erza noticed that his cheeks become a bit pink.
Titania became really excited. Natsu asked her for a date? Wait, this is the first time in her life when someone asked her for a date! Okay, he actually did not ask, he just took her and carries her for a date now, but it is even better this way – he knows what he want and knows how to get it, and this is the only type of men who have the right to call himself a men, in Erza's opinion, and she already knew that Natsu is of that type. But there was other thing that surprised her.
Natsu noticed her amazed expression. "Oh, come on, Erza. I admit, there is not much things I knew about you, but there are so many things that you don't know about me, either. I have some secrets too, you know?" He winked to her.
'Sure you are, Natsu,' Erza noted to herself. She was not too curious person, but she just couldn't leave things like this. 'Cunning boy,' she smiled and kissed him. Titania was filled with strange feeling, it was as if she at last managed to get something she wanted long ago, and she is happy now. It was very weird situation – noisy and childish boy that was constantly fighting with her (without much success), now carried her to the first date in her life and she was happy about that. 'Natsu, what is really going on in your head? What are you really wants? Maybe there's a chance that we have common desires?' These were Erza's thoughts while she and Natsu were on approach to Oshibana.
"Here we are!" Natsu pointed towards mid-size town.
"Just in time, I have not eaten anything since breakfast," Erza noted, even she was already hungry, and she could imagine how Natsu feels, not just because of his dragon appetite – he used his magic to carry them both between towns.
They landed with the same way as they did in Onibas this morning, scaring people around. Erza ex-quipped their clothes [A/N – In OVA Memory Days was mentioned what Erza can ex-equip her companions clothes too]. Erza put on her purple-red evening gown, Natsu now wore his white shirt, trousers, waistcoat, and his scarf of course. [A/N: Episode 125 for reference, if needed].
"Alright, where is that restaurant of yours?" Erza asked, looking around. She was burning with impatience – there was so many things she wanted to ask him, and so many kisses she wanted to give…
"Right there," Natsu pointed at mid-sized building at the end of the street that leads to station. It was not big, but not too small either – exactly that man and woman need when they want to spend some time together.
"Nice choice Natsu, it is really good place for a date," Erza approved when she and Natsu entered. It was about 17:40, most people were still at their jobs, so here were plenty of free tables.
"Hello, my friends! Welcome to the Basiolum – most popular place among young couples in entire town of Oshibana!" The restaurant manager, white-haired, tall man, about 40 years old, hastened to visitors. "Please, come with me!" He led Natsu and Erza to the place near window, far from exit. "Here, it's a good place for such a lovely couple, so no one can disturb you. Now, take it, please," He handed menu to them. "Do not forget to check our special dishes!"
Around the table there were two double seats, Erza sat on one of them, and pulled Natsu to sit near her, "I need a closer contact, Natsu," She said with playful smile and slightly bit his ear.
"Looks like you are really hungry, it's better for me to buy you something to eat, until you will try to eat me," Natsu said when she bit him and kissed her nose tip.
Erza giggled, "You're just delaying the inevitable, I'll eat you anyway."
And when Erza turned away to pick up the menu, Natsu's eyes flashed with crimson light, for several moments his irises was replaced by burning inverted pentagrams.
"Natsu? What was that?" Erza asked as it was something odd.
"What?" Natsu wondered, looks like he did not notice anything.
"No, nothing, it's probably my imagination, I really need to eat something," She has much more interesting ideas on her mind now, so she just cast this "red light" image away.
They ordered some food, but Erza did not really care about what she was eating, she was only focused on Natsu now. Knight-girl waited patiently until Natsu finished his meal (she knew that he does not like when someone's talking to him while he's eating). She, however, was unable to sit still; she felt some strange euphoria and courage to say some things that she was suppressing for quite a long time. Erza covered Natsu's ear with kisses, scratched his hair, and bit fingers on his left hand.
"Natsu?" Erza Asked the moment Natsu put aside his fork, "Do you like me?"
"Of course," Natsu said simply, "It should be kinda obvious now, since I asked you out for a date" He winked to her. "And, moreover, I've already sworn twice to protect you…" He grinned with his toothy smile, but Erza was surprised.
"Wait, twice? What do you mean?" Erza knew what dragon slayer has sworn to Simon that he'll protect Erza, but she did not understand what he meant by this "twice" – when was the second time?
"Well, the second time was with Simon back then at Tower of Paradise, you know about that, and first…" Natsu started to remember, "That was long ago…"
…
Flashback
11 years ago (4 years for Natsu and Erza) Natsu was with Gildarts, fishing.
"Natsu are you still hanging around with that girl, Lisanna?" Gildarts asked casually.
"Um? Well, yeah – she's nice to me and it's fun to be with her!" Thirteen years old Natsu replied.
"It's good you got along with a girl, I bet you will be quite popular among women one day," Gildarts noted. Natsu looked at the old geezer questioningly, he didn't understand why he has to be popular among women. Gildarts smirked, "You will understand one day. However, Natsu, how do you feel about that red-haired girl – Erza?"
"What?! I don't like her! She is a monster! She's scary and constantly interferes when I fight with Gray and then scolds me! One day I'll beat her and put her on her place!" Little Natsu replied angrily.
"Natsu, beating a girl is not the right goal for a boy, remember it. Besides, there is a reason for her behavior. Something very bad happened in her past, and she is very scared. She wants to look strong and scary, exemplary mage, but really she is very displeased by herself for some reason. I saw her when she just come to the guild – a little girl, lonely and scared, she desperately need someone to take care of her. I know you have great power inside you Natsu, promise me, when time will come, you will take care of this girl, as well as of our guild."
Natsu listened with his mouth open. When Gildarts finished his speech, Natsu scratched his hair and said, "I didn't get anything, but I promise!" and smiled with his toothy grin.
"That's good Natsu, I know I can rely on you," Gildarts nodded approvingly, clapping his shoulder.
End of Flashback
…
"But when I saw you on top of that tower, I finally get everything. So Erza, please, tell that little girl that she is no longer lonely and no one will make her scared anymore," Natsu scratched Erza's hair.
That was quite a revelation as Erza's cheeks became pink from embarrassment, were her feelings that transparent? But she smiled thankfully, it was pleasing to know that people cared about her, especially Natsu. She sat onto his lap and looked into dragon slayer's eyes, "Looks like I've done everything I could to scare away boys…" She kissed Natsu's forehead, "But looks like you are not the one who could be frightened easily." It was good that they were sitting near window – her eyes shone so beautifully in the rays of the sunset. "Hey, Natsu," She remembered something, "Do you remember that night? Right after I've passed the S-class exam?"
"Hmm, oh, of course – that was 3 days after my fishing with Gildarts I told you about. I was roaming around our guild at night and overheard someone is crying." Natsu clearly remembered that night, "I traced the source and found myself near our guild's women hostel. I was very surprised, however, when I climbed to the window and saw that it was you who was crying…"
Erza smiled sadly, "Yeah, when I pass the exam I thought I had proven to everyone how strong I am… That was to everyone, except myself. After the exam, I understood that nothing has changed at all – I still was unable to save my friends from that damn tower. I was burning with hatred towards Jellal, and myself, because of my helplessness… And then, when I saw you in my window, I was afraid that you might tell somebody that I'm too may cry, like everyone else… I was so silly…"
Natsu pressed her forehead to his own, "Relax Erza, we were just kids back then…"
"I know, Natsu, but looks like I actually was much more childish than you," She gave him a sad smile. "I was chasing you around whole dorm, and when I finally managed to catch you, I threaten you to not to tell anyone that you saw my tears. I then scolded you about wandering during nights, and, finally, forced you to sleep in my room so you wouldn't 'burn something around the town at night'. I just had no courage to admit that I was thankful to you for coming and didn't want you to leave…" She sighed heavily.
Natsu smiled, "And yet I ignored you, I was at your room several more times, with very silly excuses. I'm too just could not admit that I didn't want you to cry alone."
Erza smiled back, "Yeah, but my excuses to force you to stay were even sillier," Erza was very thankful to Natsu for not holding the grudge for those cases.
"It's all right then," Natsu replied, "We both were just silly kids," He grinned.
"But Natsu, I do not want to be a silly kid anymore. I do not know why, but now I have the courage to tell you how I really feel. And while I still have it, I will tell you – I really like you, and I want to be with you, please – accept me as your girlfriend…" She looked straight into his eyes, her voice faded away; her eyes were filled with entreaty.
"What are you talking about? You already are my girlfriend!" Natsu grinned and continued to speak. "Erza, you are very, very strange girl, you have a sharp tongue and sometimes you're very annoying…" Erza's eyes narrowed, so Natsu hastened to continue "…but you are so beautiful, exotic, loyal and smart, and your straightforwardness looks so sexy sometimes, so it is just impossible to resist your unique charm. However, soon I may want something more than just a girlfriend, so you should be ready for it, Miss Scarlet," Natsu looked at her with predatory expression on his face.
'Since when he has so large vocabulary and so quick tongue?' Erza thought as she looked at Natsu a bit suspiciously while he spoke, but few seconds later she decided to postpone these questions for better time. "Oh, I will, Mr. Dragneel, and it may be even sooner than you think," She replied. Just a few seconds ago she looked so innocently, but now she licked her lips and had the same predatory expression as Natsu, her eyes were burning with passion. 'One day I'll find out what's going on inside your head Natsu, mark my words…' She thought as Natsu's inscrutability only fueled her passion toward him…
Present – April 4, 9:55 AM, town of Oshibana.
"Don't look at me like this Erza. The things I told about you were true, and they are still true – I will not take my words back," Natsu said and grabbed her hands when Erza looked at him questioningly.
"Me too, Natsu, and I'm really happy that I'm at last confessed my feelings toward you," Titania let out a sigh of relief when dragon-mage confirmed that he have no intentions to turn back. "But I do not understand – why I suddenly got the courage to kiss you, and to admit my feelings… and even to do some perverted things… I'm glad I became brave enough, but why, all of a sudden?" She wondered.
"Yeah, and I want to know – where we got these things?!" He pointed at their tattoos. Their memory still was much more interesting for them than fact what they are still in the same bed, naked.
When Natsu held Erza's hands she started to feel pain in her wrists. She looked at them again and noticed heavy bruises. Looks like she was in some kind of shock when she just woke up, but now the pain started to return. 'Oh no… What else happened with us tonight…' Her internal voice moaned. Her newly pierced nipples began to hurt more as well. And her crotch, too, by the way…
13 hours 50 minutes until Erza and Natsu have awoken – April 3, 6:10 PM, town of Oshibana.
Erza pulled Natsu by his hands, "C'mon Natsu, we must not be indoor at such a lovely evening, let's go for a walk!" They paid for their dinner and walked to the exit.
"Are you sure you do not want to taste our desserts?" Restaurant manager asked when they were on the way out.
"Oh, believe me, I will have some dessert tonight," Surprisingly, that was Erza's voice – looks like she became lighthearted. Furthermore, it seems Titania became literally overflowed with life energy, and knight-mage was absolutely sure that she never felt so good in her life. Erza felt like she could fly without any wings, she just glowed from happiness. It was like all her wishes, which were suppressed for a long time, now took her over. They walked along some alley toward Oshibana park, and every few steps Erza was stopping to embrace Natsu, cover his face with kisses, bite him or do something else.
Her lips were warm and soft, and her scent was beautiful, so Natsu let her do whatever she wanted. Besides, for the first time in his life, he was proud just because he was with a girl. Erza was still in her evening dress (and Natsu noticed – this is only piece of clothing she wore – she still has no lingerie), so every guy they met was looking at dragon mage with envy, because of his wonderful girl, who completely was completely ignoring those guys' existence.
Eventually they walked out to town's outskirts. Just several people were around here at this time, and very few houses were nearby. Light of setting sun shone beautifully upon Erza's scarlet hair, Natsu just couldn't divert his eyes from it – they were like burning with scarlet flame. Erza stopped once more, and turned to Natsu. Her hands wandered along his back and then moved into his hair. She pulled his head closer and kissed his lips once again. Their tongues intertwined, and Natsu sensed that her wine-like taste become deeper, while her heart started to beats more rapidly. Then she broke their kiss, Natsu looked into her eyes – they were burning with lust and passion. Titania grabbed Natsu by his scarf and pulled dragon-mage off the road, to nearest bushes.
Then she turned to him, Natsu noticed blush on her cheeks, "I think I'm ready Natsu…" She looked into his eyes. "Please, unseal me!" She raised her hands and summoned her magic, pink glow wrapped her body. When magic faded away, her dress was gone, she stood before his eyes completely naked. Natsu gasped at this magnificent sight. He saw her naked before, yes, but… First – it was some time ago, her beauty blossomed into something really incredible since then, and second – she was just a very annoying girl back then, but now she was an Angel, whose beauty shone in the rays of setting sun.
Natsu examined her body – her skin was wonderful, her forms were perfect, every curve was right where it should be, her legs were long and straight, and even her toes were neat and sweet. Natsu never thought about it before, but looks like she regularly spends some time to care about her looks, too. And now she stood before him, waiting…
But when Natsu came closer with intention to touch her, she suddenly opened her eyes, and grabbed his hands. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" She asked as some crazy fire was dancing inside her eyes. "Did I say that I'm ready to be yours? No way! I'm ready to be subdued by dragon's might!" She made two steps away from Natsu and wrapped herself with magical light once again, "Yōsei no Yoroi: Za Naito!" [The Knight: Armadura Fairy] Erza ex-quipped her strongest armor. "I just wanted to show you your prize, but you have to win it first!"
Natsu's eyes widened in surprise, but Erza seemed serious, "What? You want this body? Then prove your right to own it! I will not give myself to a weakling, and if I'll become your property then I want to be sure that I'm protected! Now, seize me, son of the dragon, take me by force! Own me by the right of your legacy!" Her body started to shine with magic as she gathered her powers.
"Such a pompous speech…" Natsu's eyes blazed with flame of fury. In common occasions he may be afraid of Erza, but now was not one of those cases, now, like at the cases with Zero and Faust, Natsu was serious and determined. He was filled with some predatory feeling, "Erza, you know as good as I am – dragon's powers are ultimate in this world. If you want me to show you who is in charge here – so be it!" Flame enveloped Natsu's body and formed a dragon apparition for about 10 meters height.
Present – April 4, 10:10 AM, town of Oshibana.
Erza was sitting on the bed with dreamy look and some senseless smile on her face, Natsu held her in tight embrace.
"Erza, you really are perverted, you know that?" Natsu said with pleased look, he really liked his bizarre girlfriend.
"Oh, look who's talking – Satan rebuking sins!" Red-haired girl replied with satisfied smile and showed her wrists to Natsu. Bruises on them were clearly visible. Erza also felt some strange pain somewhere around her pussy, but she was not yet mentally prepared to see what is with it.
Natsu smirked and said, "Yeah, we are clearly not of those who seek for easy ways…" He remembered how she got these bruises.
13 hours until Erza and Natsu have awoken, April 3, 7:00 PM, town of Oshibana.
"Yes! That's it!" Her eyes flashed with fanatical flame when she saw burning dragon, "Let me feel your power!"
They rushed toward each other and clashed. Magic power wrapped them in light. From aside it was looking like one wave was against another – pink wave around Erza and orange wave around Natsu. There were no blows and no spells, just a pure magic power contest. Natsu's magic was powerful, but Erza the Titania was called 'strongest woman of Fairy Tail' for a reason. Yes, it was not easy for her – she breathed heavily and used her full strength, however, she was not only able to stand against Natsu's power, but tease him as well. Erza was not sure why she's doing this, looks like for her it was just an extreme sexual game.
"And this is it?!" Erza asked, "This is the power of the dragon?! Don't make me laugh!" just like with Daphna's case, Erza tried to enrage Natsu. "Hey you! Get lost and give me back my real Natsu! I want the guy who smashed Zero and Dromo Anim, not some weakling who can't defeat just one girl!" She could feel that Natsu's powers were becoming stronger with every insulting word coming from her mouth, but this was still not enough. "Now I think I know why Igneel disappeared – it's was just too shameful for him to be seen with such a pathetic mage as his son!"
Looks like this time Erza gone too far. Salamander's eyes blazed with fury, he let out a deafening roar: "Ignis Infernum Draconis!" Powerful shockwave shook surrounding area, burned vegetation and uprooted nearby trees.
Erza's heart sank from rapture and excitement when she felt this immense power. Her own magic was literally blown away by dragon slayer immense strength. Looks like earth itself trembled beneath Salamander's steps, he approached Erza as if she did not resist. She felt the same strength when Natsu entered his Dragon Force mode, but this time it feels different – magic itself was much more violent and aggressive.
But Erza was not ready to give up yet. "Yōsei no Senkōken!" [Fairy Piercing Sword] she charged her swords with a large quantity of magic power and when he came closer, she tried to attack Natsu with a powerful, piercing attack with her fairy swords. However, he moved so fast that she didn't even have time to blink. Dragon-mage caught her hands by her wrists with ease and forced her hands far apart, his grip was unbreakable. When she tried to break away, dragon slayer squeezed her wrists with such force that even enchanted metal of her strongest armor started to bend, and then her wrists itself gave a crunch. Erza screamed from pain and some weird pleasure she experienced, her swords fell on the ground, legs buckled and she fell on her knees. Natsu pushed her back and pinned her to the ground.
Erza was lying on the ground, defeated by Natsu, but she always knew that this moment would come sooner or later. She was overflowed with different emotions, but she somehow enjoyed feeling herself as a weak female, taken by powerful male. And she definitely was proud – because of Natsu's power and because she is his girlfriend. Natsu sat on her stomach, left her hands, pressed her chest to the ground by his left hand and grabbed her neck by his right and stated "Now, woman, you are mine!"
Erza smiled happily, "Yes, now and forever." Her eyes were filled with happiness and satisfaction. Titania's magic wore off, her armor disappeared, she was lying naked under Natsu's body. Natsu embraced his new girlfriend and rolled over, so now Erza's body was lying on his own. She closed her eyes, Natsu pressed her head closer to his and kissed her lips. Kiss was tender and soft, then Natsu felt something wet and warm on his face – Erza's tears.
"Does it hurt much?" Natsu asked, he knew that her wrists are broken.
"Yes, but it's nothing. I'm just so happy Natsu. I don't know why I made you do this, why I've forced you to fight me, but I'm just so happy now…" She continued to shed her tears of joy and happiness, covering Natsu's face with kisses.
"But I know why – because you are the most crazy and most weird girl in the world. And maybe this is why I love you so much…" Natsu felt how Erza's body winced when he said 'I love you'. "You like how it sounds?" Natsu smiled "I can say it again – I love you, I love you just for who you are, including huge mess in your head, I love you Er…" She lowered her head and shut his mouth with kiss, her tears were still falling on Natsu's face.
Then she raised her head and said through tears "Shhhh, quiet, please. It's my turn now. I love you too, Natsu. You head contains as much of a mess as mine, but I love it too. I was always afraid that it will be too hard to say it, but you made me to understand – it's so easy to say: I love you. Natsu, I love you." At last she opened her eyes, which were red and wet. "Natsu, please, I know you've already done it twice, but I need to hear it from you myself. Son of Igneel, do you promise to protect me and never leave me? Please, Natsu, say it."
Natsu already has seen Erza like this once, at the top of Tower of Paradise – not as a fearsome Titania, but as a simple girl, who need someone to care about her, too. "I promise Erza. I'm giving you an oath by my father's name – I always will be with you. I know – no matter how strong your armor is – your heart is so tender, and your soul is very vulnerable. Believe me, if anyone will try to harm you he will suffer so terrible fate that even the Earth herself will be sorry for them," His eyes blazed with red light and burning pentagrams again, "Ego nominor ferrum damnatorium" (1)
Erza trembled, "Wow, you are really can be scary sometimes, Natsu," Knight-mage smiled. By the way, she perfectly understood his last phrase, furthermore, she even did not notice that it was on some strange language. For her every word sounded familiar. "Natsu, I swear to be your most loyal ally and most staunch and reliable supporter, just don't let me feel myself lonely again…" Suddenly, her eyes gloved with white light and she spoke out, "In perpetuas aeternitates Inter nos conjuravimus" (2)
Yet, Natsu did not notice the strange language, as well as Erza moment ago he understood her words. "Videlicet…" He replied.
Then Erza tried to lean on her hands, but immediately felt pain in her broken wrists and fell on Natsu's chest again. "Oh yeah, and when we will be making love, please hold yourself a bit and don't mutilate me too hard, okay?" However, despite pain in her arms, she smiled with absolute happiness.
Present – April 4, 10:30 AM, town of Oshibana.
Erza's head was lying on Natsu's chest, her face was absolutely careless when she remembered her feelings from the last evening, and her hair was all over Natsu's body. This was one of those moments when words a needless, Erza could feel how Natsu's heart beats at exact same moments as hers.
Several minutes later Erza decided to break silence. "Natsu? Tell me, what was that burst of power I felt when you defeated me? I thought you can't use your Ryū Kyōsei [Dragon Force] at will. I heard you yelled something, but I couldn't hear you well…"
"Honestly – I don't know. I just remember that I felt an immense surge of hatred when I heard you words about Igneel. By the way, please don't do it again, for several seconds I really wanted to rip your body to shreds and tear apart your soul..." Natsu scratched her head and then smirked, "I'm wondering – what would you do if I could not be able to overpower you?"
"I haven't even thought about it," Erza smiled carelessly, "I'm sorry Natsu, but I felt euphoria back then (and I'm steel feel it), I was lighthearted and just could not thought clearly. I just wanted you to defeat me and I honestly believed you will, and you did."
They was lying still, Natsu softly caressed Erza's stomach, but he was bothered a bit, however – what was that magic he used? It was unfamiliar and so violent…
12 hours 20 minutes until Erza and Natsu have awoken, April 3, 7:40 PM, town of Oshibana.
Natsu's hands moved down along Erza's back, his fingers slightly pressed along her spine, electrifying it with every touch. Her body sensitiveness was moved to excess, every touch was granting her an immense pleasure. Natsu's tongue was inside Erza's mouth (and vice versa), he just can't get enough of her unique taste, tart and slightly acrid at first, but so sweet, soft and exotic when you get used to it – just like Erza herself.
"M-m-m-m-m…" She moaned sweetly when Natsu's palms reached her buttocks and slightly squeezed them. She explored mouth of dragon slayer – his teeth was sharp, his tongue was coarse, and his saliva scorching, but this only ignites Erza's appetite more and more. She avidly swallowed everything she could get from his mouth.
Suddenly Natsu heard (and felt) hurried steps. Steps of many people, heavy steps – most likely those were armored soldiers. Natsu abruptly cut off the kiss, making Erza to look at him surprised and disappointed. "Sorry, my love, but looks like these damn guys just can't leave as alone today." It's obvious that their fight draw townspeople's attention and they informed the local garrison.
Natsu, who was still in his formal wear, hastily got out from beneath Erza, and jumped up on his legs. "C'mon, they must not see us!"
But Erza does not got up, instead she sat on scorched grass, made a pitiable appearance and moaned, "Natsu, I have no strength to walk, and no magic to ex-quip my boots. Please, carry me!" She said and outstretched her hands, asking for pick up. It was a lie, of course, she is Erza, after all. Of course she can run even naked and barefooted, and she had some magic to dress up herself. She just wanted to amuse Natsu by unusual behavior, and she did not want to dress up, by the way.
Natsu picked her in his arms and run towards nearby grove, but his face looked displeased. "What is it, Natsu, you don't like to carry my? Am I so heavy?" She looked offended and disheartened.
"Erza, I will gladly carry you in my arms for the rest of my life, I just didn't like the way you asked for it. I understood it was a joke, my love, but please don't do this again, you looked like Lucy. I got a strong and independent woman as my girlfriend and I'm extremely proud of it. You are Angel and you have the right to be carried in arms just because you are you."
'And where this damn boy learned to talk so sweet? Natsu, my love, even if I have to spent my entire life to solve your mysteries, I'll do it!' Erza smiled happily and a bit guilty as she said "All right, I'm sorry Natsu. But I'll remember your words – you will carry me much more often from now on," She really enjoyed to be carried like a bride.
"I told you, I gladly will," Natsu confirmed. And who does not? She's a beauty, after all.
"And Natsu, please do not offend Lucy to praise me, she is my friend, and your too, by the way," Erza added.
"Offend Lucy? Did I?" Natsu entered to conifer grove and started to look around for proper place to do what he wanted to do for almost an hour (or since he got Erza's panties, to be honest).
In his arms, Erza's completely exposed body was already burning with desire. "You said she is pitiful, it's obnoxiously," She replied.
"That's not what I meant, I just wanted to say that she often tried to look much more miserable than she actually is, so others would pity her," Natsu explained himself.
"I know what you meant, Natsu, just choose your words carefully," Erza replied.
"Erza, you really want to speak about Lucy right now?" Natsu found a little glade and headed toward it.
"Not really, I'm just trying to distract myself from sexual arousal while you strolling through the woods," Erza said ironically, she actually was near the edge of insanity because of immense sexual desire.
"You are just intolerable, why I love you so much?.."
"Because I'm a beautiful girl who loves you too, and I want to have sex with you at last, for the sake of my sanity…"
