Screw Prince Charming

A Fanfiction thought up by BlackLynx17

I do not own Fairy Tail

Little Lucy was walking through the halls of her home searching for her parents.

"I wonder where Mother and Father is? They were suppose to take me out today" she muttered to herself.

"I wonder if Mother was kidnapped and Father had to save her!... Nah silly me this isn't a fairy tale story" Lucy told herself and continued walking down the hall. She turned and corner and gasped, quickly running back behind it.

She peeked from it and saw her mother and father in each other's arms. "Just like a King and Queen" Lucy told herself. She quietly watched the scene unfolded before her. Her mother kissing her Father then staring at him with dreamy eyes and warming smile. Little Lucy couldn't contain herself after what she'd just seen, she had to act.

"HEY! I WANT A KISS TOO" Lucy yelled and ran towards her parents.

Chapter 4

All I could feel was warmth. That and someone arms wrapped around me. I was going to scream like any normal person would, but realized I'm not home anymore. I was at Fairy Tail, in the bed with my future husband, Natsu. I hoped to God he was still sleeping right now. I wouldn't have to explain why were entangled in each other's arms if he was still asleep. I slowly opened one of my eyes and saw that Natsu was in fact fully awake and was staring at me. I opened both eyes and looked at him, studying him. He looked deep in thought.

Very slowly I unwrapped my arms that were around his neck, how they got there I have no idea, and moved away from him. He released his hold on me while I got up and walked to the bathroom. I struggled to open the door but remembered I couldn't open it.

"Could you?" I asked.

It was the first words spoken between us this morning. Natsu stood up and opened the door.

"I'll have Jii-chan take the spell of the bathroom today" he said.

"Thanks" I said and entered.

As soon as I shut the door my legs gave out and I started hyperventilating. I quickly tried to catch my breath and replay what just happened in my head. I slept with Natsu, I had my arms around him, he had his arms around me, our legs were entangled, we probably looked like a real couple. My cheeks started burning. This was my first time sleeping with a man. I am very inexperienced when it comes to them. Why was he just silent? I would have thought he would have cracked a smile or made a joke or something! I jumped when I heard a knock on the door.

"Jii-chan's calling me, let me open the door so you can get out" Natsu said.

I looked at myself in the mirror real quick and tried to calm myself. Afterwards when my blush had gone down I let him open the door. Natsu stood there confused as before.

"I'll come back to take you to breakfast" he said then left the room.

The door opened again later after he had left and Mirajane walked in. She smiled brilliantly.

"How'd you sleep?" she asked.

I didn't bother to respond not knowing the words to describe what I had just experienced. Pony just continued talking like she hadn't ask me a question in the first place.

"Take a bath and I'll set out some clothes for you, Master wants you to look good today" she said.

Mirajane has treated me very humanely ever since I've gotten here. Even when I ran and was caught by her she still treated me with kindness while she brought back to this prison. Mother would be ashamed it I didn't return her kindness.

"Sorry about yesterday, with the salad... I know it's old news but it just kept bothering me" I said.

Mira smiled at me.

"No worries just consider yourself lucky, if you weren't Natsu's wife I would have beaten you to a bloody pulp" she giggled and went into another room, I think it was Natsu's closet. Mirajane had to be the scariest person I had ever met in my life. Only she could have pulled off threatening people while smiling the whole time. It just made her threats three times more scarier. Just imagine Natsu trying to do it... That would be plain creepy.

"Now tell me did you bring any dresses when you came over" Mira asked breaking me from my thoughts.

"I don't know they practically kicked me out the house, I'm not sure what they brought" I answered.

She pushed her lips together in a thin line.

"Go, take your bath while I look through your luggage for something to wear " Mira said.

I did as told leaving the bathroom door barely open. Didn't want to be locked in here and have Natsu come and help me out. I had completely forgotten about my luggage. I wonder if Red brought it up when I was escaping. My bath was quick, but Mira was quicker. She had already gotten an outfit out with matching shoes and accessories by the time I walked out the bathroom.

"Quickly get dressed so I can do your hair" she said.

I don't know why I was cooperating with her. Maybe because I was still dazed about the incident with Natsu this morning. I wish we both could forget it. Ten minutes later I was all dressed and pretty. Strange I can't remember the last time I dressed this nice other than on my birthday.

"Breakfast should be ready now let's go" Mira said and I followed her to the dining room. Like last time only Perverted Old Guy and Pinky were seated. I noticed they had started without me. I also noticed that Natsu looked as equally nicely dressed as me.

"Lucy welcome your looking lovely as always" Perverted Old Guy said.

"Thanks" I said dryly as I took my seat next to Natsu.

Perverted Old Guy then glared at Natsu who was stuffing his face with, you guessed it! More fire. I wonder if Natsu can even eat regular food.

"Natsu aren't you going to compliment your wife" Perverted Old Guy said. I'm getting tired of thinking Perverted Old Guy ever time Perverted Old Guy speaks, it makes me sound like the perverted one. I guess he'll go back to Gramps again, until he does something mean or perverted again.

Natsu stopped eating and looked a me. At least he didn't look lost in thought anymore. I was kind of anxious of hearing what he was going to say.

"You look beautiful" he said then went back to eating.

Wow Natsu I would have actually believed you if you hadn't been staring at your fire while you said it. Screw them both.

"Jii-chan when can I wear my regular clothes?" Natsu asked.

I see he wasn't the only one who got a make over. I grabbed the bowl of cereal that was on the table along with a spoon and started eating.

"After the interview Natsu" Gramps said.

"Interview?" I questioned.

"Yes a reporter coming over to post you two's wedding in the papers" Gramps said and smiled.

I dropped my spoon. It landed on the table with a big *CLINK* sound.

Gramps stared at me, I'm guessing he was thinking 'escaping is futile.'

If it wasn't worse enough that everyone here knew about my miserable marriage to Natsu now the whole town will know it! Natsu had stop eating and was staring at me seeing also, probably seeing if I was going to escape. I picked up my spoon and started eating again.

"When will he be here?" I asked.

So I can get the hell out of here.

"He's already here" Gramps said.

Shit.

"As soon as you two are done your meeting him in the study"

Double shit.

"Before you go Lucy can I have a word"

Let's just say it was raining shit.

Natsu left to meet the reporter while I stayed with Gramps.

"I know you may be planning to make it sound like your being held captive in the interview" Gramps said.

Because I am.

"So let's make a deal" he said and held up my key.

"You and Natsu are to be married. You and Natsu are deeply in love. Convince the reporter heck convince me and you will get one key back" Gramps said.

... no matter how badly I wanted to refuse... it was a good deal.

"Alright" I said.

There goes escape plan number four, at least I get a key back, hopefully it's something powerful. Besides I don't think even I could escape within a minute with Gramps right behind me.

"Let me remind you I'll be in the room with you two during interview listening to everything. Come on now let's go" Gramps said putting my key in his pocket. I followed him to the study room. When we entered Natsu was talking to a relatively short man with blonde hair that stook up in the middle. He was wearing a pink t-shirt, blue jeans, brown shoes and a pair of black sunglasses.

"Lucy this is-"

"Jason and it is so COOL to meet the future Mrs. Dragon" Jason screamed.

I could already tell he was a complete idiot.

"THE Natsu Dragneel, Dragon Slayer, getting married to THE Lucy Heartfilia, the daughter of the richest man in Fiore! I can't believe this!"

He acted like he was on crack.

"Why don't you and Natsu sit down so we can let Jason do his work" Gramps said sitting at a corner.

Natsu and I obeyed and we sat together on the sofa.

"Okay let's get this party rolling first question when did you two first meet" Jason said.

"On her 16th birthday party" Natsu answered.

"AWESOME! Tell me was it love at first sight?"

"It was love at second sight, so I've been told" I said looking at Natsu. He cracked a smile.

"BRILLIANT! There's never been a love like this told yet! Tell me Lucy what made you say yes?" Jason asked.

"Yes to what?" I said.

"To his proposal of course" he said.

"He was the highest bidder" I said.

"Huh?" Jason asked.

I saw Gramps shake his head, shit I made a mistake.

"In my heart! He was the highest bidder in my heart?" I said.

Everyone just stared. That did sound weird.

"I mean I met a lot of suitors at my party, but Natsu was the one who stood out the most and was the only one... I ... felt... connected too?" I quickly saved. It still sounded more like a question than a statement.

"The highest bidder of your heart... I LOVE IT!" Jason said.

Thank God this guy was an idiot.

Jason preceded to ask questions and I just let Natsu answer them all. When was the wedding? What was our most favorite thing about each other? Natsu said my eyes which shocked me while I blurted out his warm bloodedness. Natsu stiffed a laugh.

Are we having children? Any girlfriends or boyfriends in the past? I was a little surprised when Natsu had answered none.

Pretty soon he was done asking question then it was on to the pictures. No wonder Gramps made us dress up. He wanted us to look picture perfect for the press. I stood on the side lines while Jason took pictures of Natsu first. Natsu stared at me the entire time. When it was my turn I didn't return the gesture. I just stood there and smiled for the camera. I saw Natsu and Gramps frowning, they must have known my smiles were fakes. Since Jason didn't complain once though I guess I was still in the clear.

"Now a couple picture!" Jason yelled.

This was what I was dreading. Natsu walked over to me and stood beside me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and we both smiled. I took a glance at Jii-chan. He looked very unconvinced. Jason on the other hand was just moving around taking pictures. I would have to think of something quick or else I would be kissing my key good-bye.

Okay I'm going to have to pull out the big guns. Try and remember how Mother and Father used to act, do that, then finish it off with dreamy eyes and a great big smile. Think!

Step One - She wrapped her arms around Father's neck.

Natsu looked shocked at my sudden movement.

Step Two - She slowly closed her eyes and kissed Father.

I have never kissed anyone before so I hope I was doing it correctly. Natsu's eyes widened as I was slowly leaning towards him. My eyes slowly fell as I closed the distance between us. I couldn't believe I was kissing Natsu. It was just a regular kiss but still I think I felt something, maybe disgust. Honestly it was nothing like the romance novels, more like kissing a wall. Maybe it was because we were both just standing there, our lips on each other's not moving. It really must have been something though because I heard Jason's camera go off a hundred times.

Okay think Lucy think what mother do next?

Step Three - She looked dreamily at Father and smiled brilliantly.

Uh oh, I can't smile and look dreamily at Natsu, that was the impossible. To make things worse we were running out of oxygen. Come on Lucy go to your happy place, all you need is a happy memory and you'll be able to smile… I see my Mother and me when I was a little girl... I feel her fingertips run through my hair and her softly singing me to sleep.

Mother...

We parted and I looked at Natsu with half opened eyes and smiled a thousand suns at him. Natsu really was a good looking guy. I was mesmerized by his unique black colored eyes. Then the spell was broken. Jason camera started making weird noises and I was broken from my trance. I looked towards Jason. His faced looked red...

"...ran out of film..." he said quietly.

Gramps had his mouth open with a shocked looked on his face. I didn't get it. Was the kiss that convincing? I looked back to Natsu, other than the tint of blush on his cheeks I couldn't read his face. I did however notice when he pulled me closer to him.

"Are we done now Jason?" Natsu asked never taking his eyes off me.

"Yeah... I guess...thanks... be seeing ya'll" Jason said and I watched as he tried to head for the door, still staring at us. Once he hit the wall he snapped back into reality and opened the door. He left. It was then that I realized Mother's kissed was magic and had worked. I had them under my spell, I had them convinced we were in love with one kiss... it was time to collect my payment. I pushed Natsu away from me.

"Don't let that kiss go to your head" I told him and headed for the door.

As promised Gramps threw me my key as I left. As I walked down the halls, having no idea where I was going, I looked at which key it was...Cancer.

I'm starting to think Gramps is purposely giving me all my weak keys and saving the stronger ones for himself. Why else would he give me CANCER! What am I suppose to do make them all have a bad hair day!

I started to wonder the halls. I couldn't get that kiss out of my head. It was my first. I touched my lips wondering if I could still feel Natsu's warmth. I realized what I was doing and swiftly placed my hand on the hem of my skirt. Come on Lucy snapped out of it! You are escaping! You are leaving this place! Did you see the shocked face Natsu had when you told him that kiss was nothing?

He loves me. That was our first kiss and I... made him think it was nothing... Great now I feel like apologizing to the kid. I am sending him all the wrong signals today. Yesterday was better, me constantly trying to leave him was direct but today. Waking up to find I was snuggling next to him, kissing him like that... he probably thought I was getting to like him. I need to set things straight with Natsu. I need to tell him I don't love him and I never will. I tried looking for him but couldn't find him anywhere and pretty soon people started looking for me.

It was Gray who found me first and told me it was lunch. When I arrived there was no Natsu, not even Gramps. Just Gray, Mira, Cana, and Levy. They joined me for lunch. I was starting to think they were decent people. When I asked Gray where Natsu was he replied "he went to go train with Erza."

Erza? Whose Erza? Have I met her? Was she Red?

I spent the rest of the day with Levy, since they wanted someone with me since Natsu wasn't. She showed me her room. It was filthy, dust everywhere but the amazing part was there were books. There were books everywhere.

"Sorry for the mess Mistress Lucy" Levy said.

"No I don't mind, look at all these book" I said.

"Yeah kind of a book worm" she said scratching the back of her head.

"Me too you should have seen my room in my old house, I had more books than clothes" I confessed.

We laughed together.

"Here let me show you my favorite pile Mistress Lucy" she said.

"Just call me Lucy, Levy" I said.

"But that would be disrespectful" she said.

"How bout you call me Lucy when it's just the two of us then" I offered.

She smiled and agreed. I felt a connection with Levy. She became my first friend. Bookworms for life.

Dinner arrived and Natsu still was a no show. I was getting sleepy then I realized I couldn't get in the room without Natsu's help. Luckily, or not so luckily Gramps took off the spell off and let me in. He also took of the spell to the bathroom door but reapplied it to every other exit.

"Night Lucy" Gramps said and shut the door.

I laid on the bed and got under the cover. So maybe Gramps wasn't the perverted fool I thought he was. Maybe Fairy Tail wasn't as bad as I thought it was. There are nice people here. I hate to say it but maybe Fairy Tail will grow on me. This was the thought that woke me up in the middle of the night. I was getting used to Fairytail... I had to go!

Remembering there was no escape once that door was closed I decided to try and escape again tomorrow. I laid my head back down on the pillow and saw him. He was staring right at me.

"Bad dream?" he asked.

"Nightmare" I said.

"Tell me" he said.

"I stayed here" I told him. I turned around and faced the other direction. Slowly, I felt his arms creep up and surround me.

"You'll get used to it" he said.

Instead of loosing it like I thought I would if one more person told me that I relaxed against his embrace.

"So this morning when I woke up and found you next to me it was just because you were cold and needed my warmth right?"

"Yes"

"And during the photo shoot that kiss it was just to convince the reporter and Jii-chan to get one of your keys back?"

"Correct again"

"So you don't love me?"

...

"Also correct"

I heard Natsu sigh and was confused. I mean I would have understood if it sounded like a sigh of depression but it sounded more like a sigh of a relieve? It's late maybe I'm thinking too much into it.

"I love you" Natsu said.

Definitely a sigh of depression.

"I know" I said.

That night I felt like I owned him since I brought up his hopes only to crush them so I let him hold me all night long.
