I just wanted to thank everyone for giving me such kind reviews, follows, and favorites! Thank you silent readers too! I'm going to rant a bit, but I can't believe the Fairy Tail anime ended (for now). Mashima-Sama said, "Until the time comes, I cannot say something I've always wanted to say, even on Twitter. Please be patient and wait until the time comes for me to announce some good news." I think he's going to introduce NaLu, GruVia, or JerZa. I sure hope so, it feels like us Fairy Tail fans have waited for romance forever, ne? Well anyways, thank you for answering my questions! I decided upon a mix between dense Natsu, and perverted Natsu. Some people wanted him dense, mixed, or perverted so I'll just go with in between. He'll be dense like he usually is, but perverted when his dragon side comes out. Enjoy the chapter!
Lucy's P.o.v
After gathering our belongings such as my celestial keys, we began walking to the Cafe. Toeboe was leading the way with his "map" but I knew he was after the scent of the delicious pastries. I was nervous to be honest, Natsu is my best friend, my nakama.. It's going to be difficult to act all romantic with him, especially when he's dense as a brick. Well, used to be dense, he literally tried to seduce me earlier! I wonder if dragon slayers go through heat like real dragons, if so that explains a lot.
Glancing at my celestial keys, I started to ponder about my new-found powers.. Do I need my celestial keys anymore? Well, even though I have a new magic; I'm still going to use my keys. My celestial spirits are special to me, they're my friends and not shields of course. My wolf magic isn't developed either, so using my celestial magic would be the best option until Toeboe trains me more.
I wonder if I can requip my celestial keys? It would be a lot easier than keeping them on my damn belt, people always manage to snatch my belt away, and I have no access to my keys. I closed my eyes while walking in the street, which wasn't very smart; but if a car was about to hit me, I could easily dodge with my agility. I grasped my key pouch in my hand, and I concentrated about my armor, and weapon inventory. I successfully transferred my keys to wherever I requip my necessities from;I still kept my belt on though. I honestly don't want Natsu, or Wendy to find out. I don't want any of my nakama to find out.
I'm not sure why, but it seems right.. Right for me to keep my secret from them, just for a little while though. I don't want to reveal who I really am, until the time is right.
"Lucy-Nee, we're here!" Toeboe exclaimed, snapping me from my thoughts.
I nodded weakly, blushing slightly. "N-Natsu, are you ready?" I asked with a slight stammer.
He blushed a bit to my dismay, I blushed even worse. "Yeah! Let's go!" He yelled, gripping my hand softly, and pulling me inside.
Toeboe, and Wendy walked behind us, and as we entered the café; dozens of pink, and red roses were tossed in our faces. "Welcome," A silky voice said, and I turned my head to see.. A woman, no.. Man? Yes- It's a man, a feminine one at that. He has blond curly hair, that reached barely to his shoulders, and deep violet purple eyes. He had on a few earrings on one year, and he was wearing a butler's outfit. He looked to be in his late twenties.
"Hi.." Wendy shyly replied, and the butler kept glancing at Natsu, and I. He was evaluating us, to see if we were a real couple.
Blushing red, I managed the strength to throw my arm around Natsu's waist, and snuggle my head into his toned chest. Natsu lazily slugged his arm over my shoulder, and his head nuzzled on top of mine.
The butler no-joke, squealed, pulled out his camera, and took about a dozen pictures of me, and Natsu. My blush deepened, and he shoved the camera in between us, and started snapping pictures of Wendy, and Toeboe. They were blushing pretty bad, but I have entirely no room to talk.
The butler stopped taking photos, and he regained his posture, and cleared his throat with a quiet cough. "Excuse me.. Now, please follow me." He ordered, and he began walking us to a booth. I glanced around taking in my surroundings, and everything was coated in pink, purple, white, and black. The walls were painting light pink, and white trimmed the bottom. The floor was white, and black checkered title, and the place was pretty big. All the booths were colored black, and had white lace. The waitresses were even dressed up as maids, and butlers.
The butler led us past the last booth, and he kept leading us to the back. I was curious to why he was, but we kept following him. "Maybe there's some special seats in the back?" Natsu suggested quietly, in my ear. I shivered at the touch of his lips on my ear, and I stomped on my foot, to stop myself. Remember Lucy, Natsu is your partner, best friend, and nakama! There's no way he'd like me back anyway.. Not that it matters, he probably likes Lisanna. I mean they're childhood friends, and all.
"Oi weirdo, you're spacing out again." Natsu said, and I glanced up at his deep, onyx eyes. I adverted my gaze, and he cupped my face, and he stared into my eyes. I blushed, and I tried to escape from his gasp, and he leaned closer. His onyx eyes looked into my golden-yellow eyes, and he leaned forward again. He was close, to close for comfort. I closed my eyes slowly, and I puckered my lips. I leaned forward, ready. My brain wasn't functioning properly, not my human side anyway. My wolf side was taking over.
I felt a warm hand touch my forehead, and I snapped my eyes open. Natsu was inches away from my face, and his hand was burrowed in my hair. "N-Natsu, what are you doing?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.
Natsu scrunched his eyebrows in confusion, and he slid his hands out of my mid-thigh length hair. "You had a chunk of white fur in your hair?" Natsu said, but it game out more as a question.
Shi*, That must have been my wolf fur! "It's from Carla!" I lied lamely, and Natsu shrugged it off. Toeboe sent me a glance, and Wendy was staring at Toeboe. How kawaii~ Wendy, and Toeboe would have the cutest children! They'd have Wendy's indigo blue hair, and Toeboe's golden eyes! They'd be a hybrid of wolf, and dragon it would be so adorable! I wonder what me, and Natsu's children would look like. Natsu's salmon pink hair, and my golden eyes? They'd also be a dragon, and wolf hybrid! Oh Kami, I'm rambling again.
A loud slam echoed throughout the air, and my wolf ears popped from my head, along with my tail!. Natsu was busy staring at the butler, and thank Kami, Wendy didn't notice. Toeboe's wolf ears were out as well, and I cupped my hands over my ears. I crept over to Toeboe, and whispered so silent not even Natsu, nor Wendy could hear me.
"Why did our wolf ears, and tail come out?" I asked, and Toeboe glared at the butler menacingly.
"The butler guy, is loaded with wolfsbane. Wolfsbane is a magical herb that makes a wolf's true nature come out."Toeboe replied.
"We can't let Natsu, or Wendy see!" I panicked, and Toeboe glanced at the two dragon slayers. In a matter of seconds Wendy, and Natsu were laying unconscious on the floor, and Toeboe was whistling oh-so "innocently."
"Toeboe, what did you do?" I asked, and he kicked the ground with his foot.
"I knocked them unconscious by hitting their pressure point." Toeboe said nonchalantly, and the butler's voice interrupted us.
"Listen up wolves," He spat hatefully, "I'm an evil spirit mage, my name is Nico. I want to destroy wolves like you, you wolves killed my family!" He screamed.
"Well, Nico, there are evil wolves, and there are good wolves! We're obviously the good wolves, we're mages of Fairy Tail! We're here to help!" Toeboe yelled, and Nico scoffed.
"There's no such thing as good wolves, you damn brats. I'm the owner of the shop, and I resign my mission. Leave, before I kill you." Nico snarled, and a vein popped on my forehead. I grasped my fist, my hand turning white from lack of blood.
I requipped a dagger, and swiftly I ran over to Nico, and I jumped over him, doing one front flip. I landed behind him in three seconds flat, and I held the dagger to his throat. My eyes gleamed red, and my tail extended and wrapped around his leg, holding him down.
"Listen Nico," I snarled, "We're good wolves, and we took this mission for the good of the people. We've been excited to attend to your mission, and even if you dismiss us, your mission won't be completed. Us wolves, and our two dragon-slayer friends have the most exceptional sense of smell, and hearing. With us, we can find this culprit who is spiking the drinks quicker than any other mage. Not only that but we're the strongest types of mages in damn Fiore, so think a little before you dismiss us." I said, and I could feel my wolf canines poking my lips.
He was shaking, of course in fear. Sure, I feel a little bad, but intimidation is quick, and easy. Yes, I was bluffing by saying we're the strongest, but everything else was one hundred percent true.
"F-Fine, you damn wolves..." He muttered, and I requipped my dagger away. My wolf tail shrank to its normal size, and I felt my canines shrink back to my tiny wolf fangs. My red eyes gleamed back to their original golden-yellow, and Nico fell on the floor, panting. Toeboe picked the back of his shirt, and he pulled him off of the ground. Toeboe stared at Nico, dead in the eyes, and Nico trembled more.
"Thanks Jii-Chan!" Toeboe exclaimed, and he grinned largely revealing his small wolf fangs. Nico looked taken back, and he glared at my younger brother. "I'm only twenty-four!" He complained, and Toeboe shrugged, and walked beside me.
"Well get to work when your friends wake up, and I'll keep your secret." Nico said, and before he could walk out, Toeboe snatched his shirt and pulled him back in.
"Give us your wolfsbane first." Toeboe said, and Nico handed his herbs to Toeboe. He walked out of the room, and Toeboe glanced at the wolfsbane in distaste. Toeboe put some in my hand, and he sighed. "The only way to get rid of wolfsbane, is for a wolf to eat it." Toeboe said.
"Can't I burn it or something?" I questioned.
Toeboe shook his head, "Nope, there's a magical curse on it." Toeboe said, and I pouted slightly.
"What happens when we eat it?" I asked.
"We transform into our wolf form, and wait ten minutes for the effects to wear off. It's a bit crazy though." Toeboe said, trailing off at the end.
I shrugged, and I slowly brought the herbs to my slips. I shoved it down my throat, and I swallowed the herb without chewing. Colors blurred my vision, and all I could see was vibrant yellow, green, pink, and black. My mind felt numb, I had no control over my body whatsoever.
I fell down on the floor, and different colors that resembled ribbons were flowing everywhere. Different scents filled my nose, scents of pastries, girl's perfume, men's cologne, and even the nervousness of Nico. I desperately tried to stand, but my knees went weak, and I fell back down hitting my head as I did so.
Pictures embedded in my head, visions of arctic wolves. My body slowly locked in place, and my bones cracked and rearranged as I shifted into my wolf form. It was painless, but I'm numb anyways. I stood up shakily, and I shook my thick white coat out, and my head was pounding. I glanced all around the room, looking for something familiar, and my eyes were glued on a wondrous sight.
A boy with salmon pink, spiky hair, and onyx dragon-like eyes.
"My mate,"
Cliffhanger! Well, hope you enjoyed reading! I tried to update quickly, but I'm a pretty lazy person, and I've spent my days at the beach lately. I also want to thank everyone who reviewed, favored, and followed, and even the silent readers! :)
