"Falling in love with you is the second best thing in the world because finding you was the first."

X_X

The next day Lucy was struggling to keep pace with Natsu, she was tired enough for starting two periods, it was third period and everyone was on their seats. Jellal was sitting next to Gray," so have you heard of destiny games? " he asked Lucy.

She was sitting next to Natsu like other flowers next to their masters. He was just listening to their talks." huh? " Lucy was more confused, she just joined yesterday and still learning the starstruck life of elites, so different from her. And now new situation to face. She crossed her fingers, 'oh universe! What is this destiny games."

By the lost expression on her face Jellal knew She knows nothing (a/n:JON SNOW )

He still wonder how Natsu approved of her but he still believe that she has some uniqueness in her. So he just fixed his glasses and explained to her, "we'll be discussing the Destiny games that'll be held in three days, we'll also choose your opponents for first round."

Luct was excited, "so I'll meet my destiny?" she was just glowing, these rich people sure do live differently.

"Idiot" Natsu finally joined the conversation, he couldn't believe this girl, she is just to much to handle. Sometimes he wondered, who is real master in their pair because he always is doing half of the work. He looked at his flower lost in her LA LA land.

"Idiot, destiny means your future as flower, if you loose you will be fired. The rules are similar to 3 on 3 basketball but here you'll have to play with your master and it's a tournament. But the flower who will be last must face their destiny aka being fired."

"That's bullshit"

"Language little Lucy, a flower especially a young lady must always maintain her class"

She glared at Jellal , " You are also flower Jellal. You know it's hard enough to follow your master needs but these games isn't this too much . being flower is more trouble than its worth." she was burning with anger.

Natsu pulled her on her seat, she will just cause trouble if any teacher saw her actions.

Jellal took a deep breath, "please think about it Lucy."

Lucy freed herself from Natsu's grasp, she knew she was here to proof herself. She cannot back down. OK she can do it, "OK you are right Jellal , so how can I know the rules and terms of these games."

"Just go to our school's website and watch old games recording and matches."

Now she was fill with determination, she has fire in her eyes. Come on Luce if you can survive without luxury and food this is nothing. So she just need some practice in basketball to win this, suddenly she realized something. She turned to Natsu,

" So Natsu that's why you were in court yesterday, practicing basketball?"

"It's not like that I was just there because I like basketball, and since you are my flower, you will be playing with me as long as you know how to throw, dunk the ball we will be fine Luce. Don't disappoint me. "

He looked directly in her eyes, her heart skipping a beat. Be still you crazy heart." I just need to throw the ball in Basket, I can do it" she assured him.

"But you are just too much idiot and innocent around here, so listen to me don't talk to anyone till the games and don't take any gift or things. People are manipulative here they like to take advantage of girls like you. Since they will try to take you down to win. "

She glared at him," people taking advantage of me and you telling me to be careful. It like stealing from thief. "

" You are new around here but most people are with there flowers since grade school, since they can do anything to win. I mean anything." Natsu was worried about this dummy flower of him. She was too pure to understand the manipulation of people around here, hell if someone will stab her she'll offer her heart for better account the knife. Total nutcase. "and there is no rules."

"I guess this is harsh to just make flowers quit, when they work to hard for there master. "

Natsu looked at his flower she was looking out of Window towards basketball court where others were practicing," it's just a dark side of rich society, they don't give damn about anything else, it's also one of a nasty game that rich people play. "

Suddenly the door was opened and everyone fell silent, Lucy was confused what happened? She looked at the entrance there stood a boy with dark black clothes, studs in ears and cover in chain and spike black hair. Looking like a Gothic heavy metal rockstar, he just don't blend with these people. Who was he? She wondered. She panicked when he was walking directly in her direction.

He reached in front of her and gave one of those smile which makes girl swoon of there feet. He has to be a rockstar.,

"Hey Lucy! Finally nice to met you, when I hear from juniors that Natsu has got new flower I had to see her life. So I just came here."

Lucy's mind was freeze but she still manage to gave a small smile, "nice to meet you." she didn't miss the death glare and extremely suffocating tension between Natsu and this mysterious guy.

Then he turned toward her, " I forget to introduce myself," I am Sting Eucliffe, one of the elite nine but don't look like since my looks scream I am some thug from Street gangster. See you tomorrow "

"Wait you don't have to practice for games. Mr. Eucliffe? "

" I don't have flower. So there is no point in sticking around but if you need any help I'll be glad to be there for you" he winked as he was out of the class. Lucy watched him she couldn't believe there was a master of elite nine without a flower. And he looks like a lone wolf.

X_X

It was time for team selection as she got to know about other two members of elite nine. The Johnson twins. Lauren and Ivory.

Since there interaction with Sting , Natsu was in foul mood, she was too scared to approach him but they were in auditorium as the team were announced. Natsu turned to look at her, he have to put his eyes on her, she was just a trouble magnet attracting troubles always. "You remember all the things I told you about these manipulation around here do not accept anything."

" Natsu, I know since you keep repeating it thousands time. " he glared at her," don't argue with me go get me orange juice. "

" Yeah" she stood and left, damn she wanted to see the list of her rival in games but stupid Natsu send her for stupid orange juice. She came to get some juice from machine as she was getting money. She felt a presence behind her. She turned and saw two girls standing there. Who are they?

"Hi we both are Jenny and Jenna. Our masters are Lauren and Ivory. We thought that you are new so we should help you. Here eat this energy bar you need some energy. "

Lucy's eyes brightened up, she frowned as Natsu's words were in her mind that she need to be careful but these girls are here to help her. just thinking about making friends here make her happy," thanks guys indeed needed it." she ripped the wrapping paper and bite on the bar. She felt weird as her head started to spin.

X_X

Natsu just pushed some random guy from his way as he walked down the hallway that idiot flower again disappeared and he just had asked for a simple orange juice. He reached to his destination and suddenly he frowned something was wrong as he saw the flower of the evil twins.

He ran towards machine and saw Lucy on ground struggling to get up. He was suddenly besides her as he wrapped his arms about her and yelled, " YOU IDIOT I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM THESE MANIPULATIVE BITCHES. FUCK"

X_X

Lucy felt her head was heavy as she snuggle into the warmth, "umm my head is heavy. I cannot feel anything."

"Because you are an idiot stop accepting anything from anyone. Not everyone is stupid as you. And why you always end up in infirmary, huh?"

Lucy's sense was coming back she opened her heavy eyes, they were in car a one nice car which was moving.

She panicked and tried to struggle even her vision was unfocused and body was not under her control.

She felt him tried to open her mouth but it was useless. Then he jerked her into his lap. Arms wrapped around her head and other secure around her waist. She felt him kissing her. Again? He just the devil taking advantage of her. She was to exhausted but tried to struggle, "uhnn nahh"

"stop moving I just gave you some medicine OK. I tried to give you but you didn't respond so I gave you from this way. "he gave her innocent look.

She glared at him," I know you very well and even if you gave me the medicine you don't have to stick your tongue in my mouth, it's disgusting."

He was looking at her differently, oh no she can sense trouble. He was so close to her comfort as she scooted away from him. She was trapped as she felt the cold metal of car door behind her and he inched closer to her, " You know what I tried to warn you that stay away from the trouble but do you ever listen to me. No because little Lucy is too busy causing trouble and right now you know to feed you that crappy medicine I had to put that shit in my mouth also. It's all bitter and messing my tastes. So it's your fault so you gonna fix this. Or if you argue again, I am gonna punish you."

She felt suddenly all hot and heavy, "I know it, I also have bitter taste in my mouth as you Natsu"

" Luce I got one honey and lemon flavor candy which can fix the bitterness of our mouth but the candy is one but we both need it." he said in low gruff voice.

She felt her heart was beating faster as she bit her lips instantly Natsu was looking at her lips,

"Well my delicate flower I can help you know just open your mouth" as he gave her the sweet candy.

Lucy's world was in heaven she hadn't ever tasted candy like this. This was heavenly good. She sucked on it to get the sweetness to get rid of the bitterness of the medicine.

Natsu watched as she was in pure bliss, he cupped her jaw in his both hands, she opened her mouth and was bright red, crap she forgot he was here and she was acting like loony.

"Now give me some of that candy, you know my aunt specially sent that from France. You will not find it here in Magnolia. Give me and you can only use your mouth, it's an order from your master."

Lucy was speechless even it was order she cannot do something like this, "it's all gone"

He just smirked, "you cannot even lie dummy and I know it's not all gone now come on give me little piece of it."

And again they were locked in passionate lip locking.

X_X

After fifteen minutes the car stopped with great screeching.

"Come on get out idiot, we don't have whole day. " he ordered.

" Where are we? In some Park but why? " she looked around the beautiful green trees and flowers.

" It's my house you idiot not some park" he replied flatly.

She was shocked as she saw the line of 40-50 servants waiting at the entrance of huge castle with there head bowed, as they spoke simultaneously, " welcome back Mr. Natsu"

" I don't believe this and I thought we are in the middle of some Park and holy smokes, I was in Mercedes Benz, I must take selfie. " she was just acting crazy as she click various shots and selfies." come on Natsu, like this yeah this pose is better. " few silly shots of Natsu as he tried to stop her.

" Stop fussing over everything idiot, you are embarrassing me." he growled.

Natsu turned towards Edward, his main Butler, " do you have prepare everything I asked for?"

"Of course master Natsu "

Suddenly Lucy was on alert," we-what I am doing here? Why you bring me to your house?

"you are here for your lesson you dummy. You are my flower you need some certain things to learn. "

Lucy was nervous, he likes to kiss her whenever he want but she was here in his house, it's unknown territory for her.

" come on little flower prepare yourself " he gave her evil look and turned to Edward ," you prepared that outfit which can withstand any abuse right? "

" yes master all things have been arranged"

"no I am not that type of girl. Nooo.. "

But he just dragged her.

X_X

They were in basketball court as he had prepared the outfit for her, Lucy was embarrassed, what the hell I was thinking, my own fifty shade with Natsu. Dirty Lucy.

"Well why I am here by the way Natsu?"

"For your lessons idiot. "

(after half an hour)

" You idiot why can't you just get it right. "he was frustrated.

"I am trying my best"

"Then try again" he said gently as he grabbed her wrist.

"I cannot do it anymore, I've never played basketball in my life." she just slumped on ground as Natsu still grabbing her wrist.

"hey you can try to put some basket, you know that games are going to be tough, right?"

"Are you even listening? "

She was making some weird list," hey flower "

She had that creepy smile on her face even Natsu was worried about her mental health." what is this Lucy? "

"As we know there are no rule in nasty rich game we can cheat also. Because I don't have talent to win.

Here are the options.

1)we can put marbles on court.

2)banana peal.

3)make opponents blind temporarily.

Natsu was silent as he took her list and ripped it apart and said in low voice, " If you ever talk about cheating, I'll punish you like hell"

"AYE SIR!" she yelped.

Lucy's soul was literally out of her body as she saw the angry Natsu.

She just sat on ground her as wrapped her arms around her knees she said in serious tone, " you know games are in three days and even God himself cannot help me to learn basketball magically. Why do you have to such an honest player. I cannot quit being flower for my family happiness. And even if I got fired you got nothing to worry about you can replace me easily with another flower."

Suddenly she was on ground as her head hurts, Natsu has threw ball at her head, "what the hell Natsu"

He was hovering over her as he looked into her eyes, "it's true I don't care about flower system that who will get fire and more than that I don't give fuck about this bloody game. But you idiot if I really wanted to replace you, why I'd be here practicing with you."

Her heart skip beats as something she felt, as air was blowing slowly and clouds were passing in red orange sky, his pink hairs moving with wind.

He looked at her, " we elite group don't have any club or activity so that is the reason I want to play like normal guy with everyone and I know this is my only and last chance. And besides I love basketball more than anything, it relaxed me."

She stood and took ball from him.

X_X

Natsu was bore as hell, he was waiting for her to at least basket for one. It's been another twenty minutes and she was not able to do one right throw.

He stood and walked behind her as he wrapped his one arm around her and leaned to her ear, "don't just throw ball here and there, little Lucy focus on aim and body posture."

He pulled the ball, "let's set a rule ten free throws will count as one set. And you will get mark for every fail set"

" A mark what you mean by that? "

" you will find out first try to aim. " and he pushed back in her hands.

He put his fingers on her back. Her body was burning, damn it! be still you traitor heart of mine.

"What are you doing?"

"your posture is off, put your weight in your lower body. " as he encircled her waist from behind and his right arms was over her bellybutton." relax your knees and ankles. " as his other hand traced her side of form.

She knew it, this pervert never gonna act as a gentleman.," hey wait.. "

" your knees are stiff try to relax a bit" as he was tracing the milky white soft skin of her flat stomach as his face was buried on the crook of her neck . As he slowly bit her earlobe, "concentrate Luce."

Dear God! How can I concentrate..

After so much of teaching and bickering.

"finally 200 free throws means 20 set."

she was on ground, huffing and coughing. She was not sports person, "Luce! try to make another goal"

She could not believe this, "you are just taking advantage are you even teaching me?" she in anger threw the ball which magically made it in the basket, she was shocked. But Natsu gave a victorious smile, "see since last time you improved a lot." he was smiling, Lord, not fake but real smile nothing evil pure genuine smile and dare to say he looks so good.

He ruffled her hair, "you did pretty good actually you were awesome, Lucy Heartfilia"

She just died the way her name rolled out of his mouth. Damnnnnnnnn.

Bloody teenage hormones.

Suddenly his smile was gone as Devil reappear again. Oh no!

"As I had said you will get mark for every fail set and you failed 12 out of 20. So you will get 20 hickeys"

"hic-hickeys"

"you cannot escape your punishment Luce"

And Natsu really did what he had promised his flower.

You are one perverted master.

X_X

She was in school basketball court as she tried to make aim.

Dammit I did so good yesterday what now. Not a single basket since last hour. I am trying to remember all the tips he gave me to improve my aim but all can remembering was his lips, kiss, touch. I am going to strangle his neck really hard in painful death.

She squeeze the ball so hard.

Suddenly she heard the footsteps behind her, she turned and saw none other than, " Sting"

(a/n: you guys thought that it was Natsu.)

"you are working quite hard in this heat, Lucy"

"why are you torturing yourself?"

She bit her lips, " well I can't be expelled and I don't wanna quit being flower."

And specially that smile which I saw yesterday. That's another reason I guess.

He puffed his cigarette as he looked at her, " why are you punishing yourself and tolerating all his torture. When you deserve so much better."

She was confused, "huh?"

"I know you don't wanna be flower but you also want the benefits of it, your family, tuition and all. "

He crushed the bud of cigarette under his feat," I know you want that money she knew he was right.

" but you know even if you work hard and take all his crap. Natsu just gonna treat you like a trash and gonna throw you away. "

She knew deep down he was right somewhere but her heart don't wanna believe it," Sting it's not imp-"

"you know Lucy even if you don't believe me ask anyone in St. Jude. Every student know what player he is. Why don't you let me help you and set you free and about being the flower.

You can be mine flower. I'll treat you as friend"
