I can't believe the positive feedback I've received on this drabble in just one day! I was inspired and lucky for you on bed rest (damn these ovaries of mine.) So I kept on going. Hopefully if this story goes successfully it may be completed in a timely fashion, assuming I don't get Lazy or preoccupied as most ADD people like myself do.
Again, Fairy Tail is Mashima's. Not mine.
Well, I'm all fired up. Lesssgo!
Weird Science-Part II
Lucy skipped into the Guild, her skin already covered in a thin layer of sweat, and plopped herself on her favorite barstool. She leaned back and let her neck go limp, her entire body following suit. Her relaxing shower and temporary nudism's cooling effects were long gone. She normally wouldn't be so bold as to sport a "Cana-Top" also knows as a Bikini but just the idea of her skin tight clothes damply clinging to hot sticky skin suffocated her.
"Oi, Lucy!" a familiar voice called from the other side of the bar.
She turned to face a completely naked Gray, one hand on his neck and the other clutching a bowl of sweet shaved iced. Lucy's mouth watered at the delicious contents … of the bowl. For once the blonde completely understood Gray's stripping habit, so the hanging…appendage that neared her face didn't phase her one bit.
Ok that was a lie, but he didn't have to know it. Her blush was masked by the heated flush that clung to her skin much like the heat-wave that engulfed all of Magnolia. Leaning back up as to avoid any contact with Gray's "ice-lance" as affectionately called it, Lucy let out a "hmmp" of acknowledgement to the black haired ice-make mage.
"You hear about the incident at the ryokan resort on the east bay?" Gray asked. An eyebrow rose as he took in her entire form in a leisurely manner, eyes narrowing darkly.
She shook her head, not noticing the perverted gaze due to the fact her own eyes were zeroed in on his ice-treat. He caught her line of eye-sight and held out the bowl in offering.
"Want some?" he said.
She reached her hand out for the bowl but Grey pulled it away, scooping some up with the long spoon and brought it closer to her. Another masked blush spread across her cherub-like face and she looked at the floor before closing her eyes and slowly opening her mouth.
CRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH!
Lucy's eyes shot open and she nearly jumped ten feet in the air in shock as found a broken table splintered around an unconscious Gray. Half expecting to find Natsu laughing demonically in the direction the unusual weapon came from Lucy found a furious Erza standing in his usual space.
"YOUR CLOTHES GRAY!" She growled.
Erza's normally glistening scarlet hair was darkened with perspiration and her armor heaved heavily with each breath. Her royal blue skirt clung to her thighs and she stormed towards the knocked out stripper and stunned spirit mage.
"Uhm, Erza-chan…are you ok?" Lucy nearly whimpered, fearing to further push the Titania's already infuriated temper.
"This damned heat wave!" she huffed, leaning against the bar. "I cannot train properly in this weather if I am constantly loosing grip of my weapons. I go to strike a blow and it slips right from my hands."
"I wanted to try my new Ice-Empress Armor out and my lance flew across the field into an ice-cream shop… I asked the ice owner for a strawberry short cake double scoop but he just ignored me."
Giving Erza a knowing nod she realized the lance had probably knocked the shop owner out and she simply refused to acknowledge such a "weak" blow could do that much damage. Lucy did not want to witness or attract any of the exquip mage's wrath and decided to cheer her up. It was in everybody's best interest to keep the hot-headed woman in a mild temperament.
"Mira-chan, could we please have a double scoop of strawberry shortcake ice cream and a…" She paused trying to decide between ice cream or shaved iced. "Oooo! Do you have any fruit popsicles; you know the ones with the cream in the center?"
The gorgeous albino bar maid finished polishing the glass in her hands and put it away where it belonged. She smiled like an angel and disappeared into the kitchen returning shortly after with a glass bowl containing three large scoops of white ice creamed with swirls of dark red, a huge dollop of whipped cream and a perfect cherry on top. In her other hand was an impressively large pale pink creamsicle with darker swirls of red wrapping around it.
"Here we go!" Mira smiled offering them their cold treats happily. "These will be sure to cool you off!"
Erza's eyes brightened up when she noticed that small chunks of strawberry cake were crumbled on top and began to scoop away at the substance hungrily. Lucy chuckled at the lack of etiquette the blonde usually observed while eating with the fierce woman.
Bringing her own sweet to her lips she took one lick. Mmmmmm, strawberries! She took another few licks before parting her lips to pull it into her mouth. She relished the shiver he received as the popsicle reached the back of her tongue and a few loan drops trickled down the back of her throat.
"Lu-chan!" a bubbly voice called out for the preoccupied blonde. She turned towards her best-friend and fellow literature enthusiast Levy. She smiled at the tiny bluenette who was wearing a similar outfit as her. A periwinkle tube-top with a trim of white lace covered her chest and the hem graced along her mid-waist. A white pair of micro shorts hung off the flare of her hips and barely covered her impressive "ass"ets.
"Morning, Levy-chan!"
"I can't wait for this heat-wave to pass," the book worm huffed, stepping over Gray who just now regaining consciousness. "I can't read any of my ancient scripts on dark magic and their effects on their surrounding because my sweaty fingers keep smudging the pages!"
Lucy giggled, it seemed like this sudden temperature spike has made everyone miserable... except maybe Natsu. He was probably oblivious to it. Speaking of the bakka … hadn't he followed her here? Just as she was about to scan the guild for a messy array of pink spikey hair she felt cold sticky liquid trail down her finger and over the top of her hand. The blonde looked down to find her popsicle melting fiercely in the sweltering heat of the guild.
Not willing to sacrifice the small pleasure she brought her hand to her mouth and licked, following the trail up her fingers to the melting creamsicle from bottom to top. She sucked it greedily into her mouth pulling it in and out trying to keep it from dripping further. Once she reached the cream filled center, she gulped the remainder down and pulled a bare popsicle stick from tightened lips.
The newly conscious Gray had woken to this image of his dear friend Lucy and he nearly passed out again as blood spurted from his nose. Does she even know what she is doing?! He thought to himself , an embarrassed blush reaching from his cheeks to his collar bones. He felt his member twitch slightly and noticed that there was nothing restraining his magnificent Ice Lance from proudly jutting out for the whole guild to see his arousal.
"SHIT! When did that happen?!" he yelled for the gazillionth time.
The girls he was surrounded by gave him a simultaneous eye roll and returned to whatever they were doing before his outburst. Pulling on his boxers for protection but nothing more, he leaned against the bar between Lucy and Levy.
"As I was saying before I was rudely interr…" Gray stopped that train of thought as he felt the Titania's eyes bore holes into his head. "Er, I meant as I was saying…" he paused again to make sure he had permission. Erza gave a swift nod then returned to her third bowl of ice cream.
"Tsuyu Ryokan over on the other side of Magnolia bay has been experiences a lot of suspicious behavior on their grounds over the past three days. Customers have reported seeing a large dark figure lurking around the open baths, and have even heard growling and snarling."
Gray leaned in close to Lucy and whispered behind his hand, the move gave him a perfect view of the drop dead gorgeous girl's humongous tits. "It's probably some hentai-freak trying to catch a peep at the naked ladies." A sly smirk crossed his handsome face as he recalled attempting just that with Natsu, Jet, and Droy. Erza nearly killed them when they were almost caught, but Lucy didn't know that he had tried spying on his naked nakama.
"Sounds like something you would do ice-bastard." A gruff voice ground out, pulling the stripping addicted males gaze from Lucy's chest to meet blazing black eyes.
"What was that flame-head? Do you even know what's under a girls shirt?" he retorted with a gruff laugh.
"MORE THAN YOU MINI LANCEOLOT!" the dragon slayer cackled through barred teeth.
"Say that again ash-brain. I DARE YOU." Gray yelled, losing his boxers in the process of attacking his best frenemy.
Before the fight could escalate (as it always does) Erza stood from her barstool and took one thunderous step after another towards the two.
"ENOUGH!" she bellowed.
.2 seconds was all it took for the two to snap upright and swung their arms around one another, a seemingly friendly gesture but in reality the two dug their fingers in nails harshly into each other's collars.
"AYE!" they said in "Happy-mode" unison.
Lucy's mind wandered to the ryokan incidents, "Why would anyone go to the hot springs in this weather?" She wondered out loud.
"Oh Lu-chan didn't you know that's the new bath house that opened up last month. I heard each part of the resort is a specific season: Haru, Natsu, Aki, and Yuru! I also heard that Yuru has an onsen that has a magically enchanted ceiling that snows!" Levy squealed.
"Oi who said my name?" the rightfully named hot headed flame-brain shoved himself between the two girls and slung his arm around the blonde to his right. Lucy felt his fingers pause as they drifted along her neck and a wave of shivers shot down her spine. Unlike the popsicle induced shivers, these caused a heat to pool deep in her belly and shoot down her thighs all the way to her toes.
That's odd, she thought to herself. She had that same feeling early this morning before she had fully woken up.
"No we were just talking about the creeper that's been lurking on girls at the Tsuyu Ryokan." Lucy giggled.
A large grin spread across his lips, nearly reaching his ears. " Why don't we turn Gray in for reward money. He probably was the pervert." He barely managed to finish the sentence before busting into hysterical laughter.
"What was that lizard-man?" Grey shouted.
"You heard me PER-VERT." Natsu nearly sang the last word tauntingly.
Annnnnnd here we go again.
Erza, who had disappeared among the chaos moments ago returned with a flier, and herded the girls away from the escalating brawl. She held it out so they all could read its contents.
MAGES NEEDED
The Tsuyu Ryokan is in desperate need of help. We need several skilled mages to walk the grounds and search the vicinity as personal guards. Rooms, food, and full access to the rooms, baths and resort activities will be granted. Details given the day of arrival.
Reward: 7,000,000 jewels
"RENT MONEY!" Lucy drooled as her eyes read the reward over and over again.
"We are taking this job. I have a strange feeling this is something more than a peeping tom." The scarlet haired women said.
"Er-chan, are you sure it has nothing to do with a week-long paid vacation and the nicest onsen in Fiore?" Levy giggled gleefully before shyly asking if she could tag along too.
"We can make it a girl's mission!" Lucy squealed. The odds of destruction and sacrificed reward were severely diminished without Natsu and Gray to tempt Erza.
"That's a wonderful idea Lucy" Erza agreed. "We'll leave first thing this evening." Not wasting anytime turning in the request to Mira, the three girls practically skipped out the guild doors to pack for what seemed like the perfect mission.
************************************************** **********************
Natsu's POV
Natsu had stopped chasing after Lucy when a gust of wind had blown the back of her skirt up and he caught a glimpse of cheeky white panties. One ass-cheek had a cut out of a star that had bare creamy skin peeking through. The sight promptly made his nose-bleed all over again, not to mention he felt his pants tighten even more. What was going on with him?
After recovering, Natsu slowly headed towards the guild. It wasn't normal for him to have such reactions to his partner's body. He'd seen her naked, he'd seen her sexy poses, hell he even bathed with her (if only for a moment before she Lucy Kicked him across town when she had finally noticed him) and not one of those times had he needed to physically restrain himself from pouncing on her.
This morning had been different. His muscles and recoiled into a predator like stance on her bed as he stalked his prey. He had felt them tense and contract evaluating a plan of attack. It was an oddly familiar feeling, almost like the way he prepared for battle…but different in the way that instead of anger or excitement he felt a burning pit of desire building deep in his gut. It was a feral hunger that almost startled him.
Natsu shook his head and picked up his pace, wanting to get to the guild sooner than his feet were allowing. He let the thoughts of this morning drift from his mind as if he'd never thought them at all and made his way down Strawberry Street.
The dragon slayer made his way into the guild, he was about to shout out a greeting to the entire guild to announce his presence but the words got stuck in his throat. Onyx eyes narrowed darkly and zeroed in on a blonde beauty with flushed cheeks and closed eyes leaning with an open mouth toward a completely naked Gray. He didn't register any other surroundings or evaluate the situation he simply had one word come to mind. KILL.
Just as he was about to charge he was stunned into a statue as he watched a whole table blasted the naked man into the bar, falling into pieces as he slid down to the floor in a pitiful heap of unconsciousness. Natsu snickered, hoping the fucker got a few splinters in unfavorable areas.
"YOUR CLOTHES GRAY!" the she beast known as Erza yelled.
For the second time, Natsu froze in place. He noticed the scarlet devil march towards Lucy and the sorry excuse for a mage on the floor. She took a seat to the left of his partner. Deciding against greeting the bringer of death just yet, Natsu leaned against a barrister towards the back of the guild and watched the two girls talk. He'd wait till the smell of irritation, annoyance, and frustration fell from the mighty Titania.
The dragon slayer may not be a genius but he knew how to avoid a pissed off woman...Lucy excluded. Everything he did seem to irritate her, but that was something he secretly loved. She was hilarious when she got flustered and annoyed. Her soft cheeks always got rosy and flushed, and her mocha / caramel swirled eyes would harden to dark chocolate as her heated gaze fell upon him, her full lips in a stubborn pout. He often wondered if there were other ways to get her to look at him that way…without resulting in a karate kick to the face.
The pink haired boy lurked in the shadows watching his partner from across the room. Mira handed her massive pink fruitsicle. The bottom of the frozen snack flared out reasonably before tightening into a thick column and it was topped off with a bulbous tip. Natsu's jaw dropped when Mira looked up from Lucy and made direct eye contact with him for a frozen second, a demonic glint lingered before her gaze softened back to her demure demeanor. IT WAS PRACTICALLY A PENIS POPSICLE!
Daring himself to look at the spirit-mage again he caught her tongue slip between her pale pink lips and lightly lick the tip. Even from way over here he could hear her hum in delight. She then licked the base following a darker swirl around the width and length amassing melted cream on her tongue as she greedily lapped at her dessert. Every muscle in his body tensed. She was torturing him. His pants felt uncomfortable tight as he imagined her lapping a trail up this throbbing shaft following a pulsing vein just as she had the strawberry swirl.
His onyx eyes darkened dangerously as he watched her thrust the cock-shaped treat in her mouth and suck on it from base to tip. It was mesmerizing to follow the rhythm of her altering between sucking and licking. It was like she was trying to kill him. His dick began to twitch to life and he felt torn between watching her erotic display continue or leaving to jerk himself off ferociously.
He was saved from any decision when his line of sight was obstructed by Levy. He sighed in relief, his gaze drifted as he listened in on their conversation. Another sound caught his attention as he heard wood rattle and a soft groan come from the pathetic droopy eyed bastard that was previously knocked out. The pervert didn't get up immediately, probably assessing his injuries before daring to move. A feeling Natsu was all too familiar with. A blow from Erza was a knock on death's door.
He listened in as the two best friends talked about the weather. He rolled his eyes, women. They were always too hot, or too cold. He felt fine, as he was completely oblivious to the flustered and flushed appearances of his nakama. Natsu's wandering eyes drifted back to Lucy and he immediately regretted it. Goosebumps trailed down her arms and he watched her shiver as a long trail of melted cream dripped down her fingers.
He kept his eyes on her intently. She licked up the thick liquid and drew the sticky fingers into her mouth one by one, lips smacking slightly after cleaning each tip. She then opened her mouth generously to take the entire melting dessert in and sucked audibly on it until she pulled out a bare popsicle stick. He felt his sanity leave him as he heard two loud gulps. He watched the remnants of her dessert glide down her throat and images flooded his mind of him pounding feverishly into her mouth then releasing his white hot load down the back of her throat, causing her to swallow thickly with a loud gulp just as she had a second ago.
It took a while for him to register that the second gulp had come from the stripping bastard on the floor who had also watched her practically blow a popsicle cock. Just as he was about to attack the naked pervert he noticed that nearly every male in the guild had their eyes on Lucy, all had faces as red as tomato's and a trail of blood leaking from each nostril. His blood boiled as he felt the need to grab the blonde and make a mad dash somewhere secluded, then he would punish her for being so naïve. Had she no self-awareness?! Every single man in the guild had visual aid now to fuel their perverted fantasies of her mouth sucking them off, including him, but that was beside the point.
The dragon slayer watched as Gray rose to his feet again and quickly wiped his nosebleed before realizing he was naked this entire time. Bakkka. He joined in on the girls conversation after pulling on his boxers. It only took two seconds for the ice-mage to find himself next to Lucy, leering at her wildly exposed chest. Natsu clenched his fist and ground his teeth. Half dazed by the heavy veil of lust that hovered over him in a thick haze, and half blinded by rage for the lecherous looks Gray was giving as he dared to lean closer to HIS Lucy, Natsu finally budged from his surveillance post and charged towards the group.
Gray was so close to Lucy he was practically brushing bare skin to bare skin while he whispered behind his hand, "It's probably some hentai-freak trying to catch a peep at the naked ladies."
The move nearly ended his life, but Natsu decided to provoke him instead, saving himself from a severe Erza -chop. A devilish smile unveiled his deadly fangs as he recalled attempting to catch a glimpse of the bathing girls at a ryokan on the coast.
"Sounds like something you would do ice-bastard." He said, a dark chuckle followed as he approached the gang.
"What was that flame-head? Do you even know what's under a girls shirt?" he retorted with a gruff laugh.
"MORE THAN YOU MINI LANCEOLOT!" the dragon slayer cackled through barred teeth. If only he knew the display the woman he had just been leering at had given the fire mage a short while ago.
"Say that again ash-brain. I DARE YOU." Gray yelled, losing his boxers in the process of attacking the still laughing Natsu.
After the pink haired hot head managed to get two jabs and a swift kick, only receiving a blow or two from the pansy ass exhibitionist, a loud terrifying voice rang in his overly sensitive ears.
"ENOUGH!"
Without a moment's hesitation both he and ice-prick returned upright in salute.
"AYE!" they said in "Happy-mode" unison.
"Why would anyone go to the hot springs in this weather?" Lucy mumbled more to herself then the bluenette next to her. Had he not become so attuned to everything about her and was not a dragon slayer blessed with acute senses he would have missed it. But ever since the day he'd met her, everything about her demanded his attention. It scared him sometimes, not that he would ever admit that to anyone. His world had slowly shaped itself around her and she shifted to the center of his universe. It was only recently that these things came to the forefront of his thoughts. Why now was he starting to realize that he had unconsciously made her his. Before he could answer himself, he was jerked out of his thoughts by the sound of someone calling him.
"Oi, who said my name?" He slung his arm around Lucy flashing a huge grin and for a brief moment he contemplated pulling the tie around her neck at the feeling of the flimsy strings his passing fingers brushed flitted over. It would take one swift tug and her breasts could bounce freely, just as they had this morning, but instead he rested his arm around her shoulders.
"No we were just talking about the creeper that's been lurking on girls at the Tsuyu Ryokan." Lucy giggled.
Another large grin spread across his lips, nearly reaching his ears. He couldn't help it, her smile was infectious and never failed to make his insides flutter and warmth rush through his veins. She was stunning when she smiled and the sound of her laughter made him feel as if he was capable of anything.
Aiming for another giggle from his favorite person in the world he attempted to mask his face in a bored mask, "Why don't we turn Gray in for reward money. He probably was the pervert." He barely managed to finish the sentence before busting into hysterical laughter.
"What was that lizard-man?" Grey dared, a challenge in his eyes
"You heard me PER-VERT." Natsu emphasized each letter in the insulting word, never one to back down.
Annnnnnd here we go again.
Halfway through his fight with Gray, Natsu had noticed Lucy's scent fading away from the guild. He normally would've ran after her but he was having a sadistic amount of fun beating the shit of the stripper queen. Each time his fist connected with a jaw or his torso a bit of Natsu's heated temperament left his body. Nothing made sense at the moment but he failed to care. As long as Gray was far away from Lucy and mutilated with the consequences of having even the slightest thought of Lucy in any way, the dragon slayer would be a happy camper.
Whew! That took longer than expected and my eyes feel like sandpaper while the screen is blurred and I think I may be cross-eyed now…0.o
I'm not entirely pleased with this chapter and will probably end up editing the hell out of it just like I have the first chapter. Just typing that last sentence made me think of several more changes I want to make so that means another read through.
-,-
Lucy: I think its pretty good so far, although I wouldn't put perverted thoughts in Natsu's head. He's already sadistic enough as it is.
Natsu: HEY MY HEAD BELONGS TO ME! NO ONE PUTS ANYTHING IN OR TAKES ANYTHING OUT. I AM A FREE THINKING DRAGON.
Happy: He lllllllllllllllllllllllllikes her!
Lucy: Baka Neko!
R&R Please.
