"What is that?" Erza said, freezing at the bottom of the stairs. Natsu looked back at her, then at the little ball of blue fur that Erza was questioning. "Oh, that's Happy." Striding over, he scratched the little ball of fur, which mewled and uncurled, batting at his hands with its tiny front paws. Erza smiled, walking up behind Natsu and wrapping her arms around him, laying her head on his shoulder. "I'm so glad that you're okay." She said. Natsu turned around in her arms, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest. "I'm glad that you're here." He replied, burying his face in her scarlet hair. Erza smiled and buried her face in his chest. After a few moments, they pulled apart, and while Natsu went into the kitchen to finish prepping breakfast, Erza sat on the couch and looked around at the house.
Natsu's house was small, especially compared to her apartment in Crocus, but it had more of a feeling of home. There was a small fireplace over on the east wall opposite of her, with a small mantle filled with picture frames. There was a picture of Natsu with an older man with orange hair, a wide smile on both of their faces. Another one showed a group of young men, with Natsu in the center, his arm around another man with black hair, who Erza recognized as Natsu's partner from the fuel depot. Looking away from the pictures, she examined the rest of the house. The windows on the south wall faced the lake and the massive tree that she had seen upstairs. She jumped as she felt something nudge her hand, looking down and seeing the blue cat, Happy, rubbing his head against her hand. She scratched behind the small kitten's ears, causing it to purr and arch its back. She looked up as Natsu reentered the room, a tray of food in his hands. "You still like pancakes and eggs, right?" He said, setting the food down on the coffee table in front of them with a small smile. Erza's eyes widened as she saw the spread that Natsu had prepared. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, and to Erza's absolute delight, fresh strawberries.
Natsu's smile grew even larger as he saw Erza's reaction. Weekends used to be his favorite time of the week, when he would get up early and make breakfast for himself and Erza. They would spend the day together, just sitting and laughing and spending time together. Natsu smiled sadly as the memories caught up with him, but his mood changed when Erza wrapped her hand in his. "Thank you, Natsu." She said, looking up at him with a small smile on her face. Natsu beamed. "No problem, Red!" He said, and Erza laughed at his use of her old nickname. "So, what's the plan for today?" Erza asked, looking up at Natsu. Natsu's brow furrowed in thought. "We're still waiting for Porlyusica to get here and check up on you, but then…" His face brightened as an idea popped in. "I could introduce you to everybody! They're probably down at Kinana's place for drinks." Erza nodded, her eyes nervous. Natsu wrapped his arms around her, pulling her head into his chest. "Don't worry, Erza, they'll love you. Besides, Jellal and I will be there if things get out of hand, okay?" Erza smiled up at him, before burying her head in his chest again. Natsu patted her back, then groaned as three loud raps sounded on the door. Moving to answer it, he moved aside as Porlyusica entered, a medical bag in her right hand and a pair of glasses in the other.
"I hate doing house calls." The old healer grumbled, setting her bag on the table and motioning Erza over impatiently. "Come here, child, I haven't got all day!" She barked as Erza hurried over and sat down in the chair opposite Porlyusica. The healer pressed her hand against Erza's chest, examining where the wound had been and shaking her head. "As I suspected." She mumbled to herself, running her hand down where the scar was. "The wound has completely healed. Even the scar won't be there by tomorrow." The healer got up, grabbing her bag and muttering about wastes of time. "You're free to do whatever. The wound is completely healed, so go nuts. Although try to take care of yourself! That goes for you too, matchstick!" She snapped at Natsu, who nodded quickly. With that, the healer took her leave. "She seemed angry…" Erza said, but Natsu waved her off. "She's always like that. Doesn't really like other people. Don't worry, she wasn't mad at either of us." Erza smiled. "Now!" Natsu said, pounding his fist into his palm. "Let's go meet everybody!"
Mira looked around at the rest of her team as they stared at her. She had just got done explaining the situation to them in detail, and she was nervously awaiting their response. What she had just proposed was high treason of the most grievous kind. They would be actively opposing the Absolution regime, albeit in secret, and there was no guarantee that it would make a difference in the end. She started as Cana got up, striding around the table and to the window. "Let me get this straight," she said, staring out at the bustling city center. "The government has been lying to us about the so-called Anomaly threat, Erza and Juvia have BOTH manifested and are currently with the Anomalies, and you were approached by an Anomaly, who was working under Colonel Fernandes, who is allied with the Anomalies, to form a spy ring inside the Absolution military to save other Anomalies. Did I miss anything? Or is that the whole fucking keg?" Mira nodded, and Cana turned and resumed looking out of the window. It was quiet for a few minutes, before Kagura spoke up. "It does make sense, in a way. One, if the Anomalies are the monsters that Absolution paints them as, then why didn't the Dragons kill us when they had the chance? We were all unconscious, it would have been simple. Two, Colonel Fernandes was always a little secretive, and now it's obvious that he was hiding something." Standing, Kagura looked at Mira. "I say we give this Ultear the benefit of the doubt." Cana stared at her incredulously. "If there was ANYONE who I would think would refuse this hare-brained plan, it would be you, Kagura. You two do realize that we are going up against the most powerful military in the world, right? If they wanted to, they could easily take over the entire world and rule it. You do realize this, right?" Mira nodded. "It's not like we're fighting them outright, Cana. We would be doing this to save lives. To save innocent people-" "There's no need to guilt trip me into it." Cana said, cutting Mira off. "I was just making sure that you two realized the odds we're up against. I'm in. Sounds kinda fun, actually." Mira nodded. "In that case, we'll go tomorrow and give our answer to Ultear. She'll be waiting for us in the Colonel's office."
"Hey guys!" Natsu yelled as he walked into the spacious one-story pub. Everyone there turned and raised a glass to them, and Erza followed Natsu towards a booth in the corner, where the rest of his squad was sitting and nursing drinks. Laxus saw them first and waved to them, scooting in to allow the pair some room in the booth. Natsu sat, and Kinana walked up to take the newcomers' orders. Natsu ordered a beer, while Erza ordered water. "Alright, introduction time!" Natsu said, looking expectantly at his squad mates. Laxus cleared his throat. "Hello there, Miss Scarlet. My name is Laxus Dreyar, squad leader of the Dragons. I'm the one known as Thor." Erza nodded. Gajeel was the next to speak up. "The name's Gajeel Redfox, or Black Steel." "I'm Elfman, but I go by Beast." Elfman said, tilting his head in Erza's direction. "My name is Gray Fullbuster, and I go by the name Iceman." Gray said, and Juvia nodded from her position next to him. The group fell into conversation easily, first raising a toast to Natsu and Erza to celebrate their reunion, as the team all knew about Natsu's engagement. Next, they fell into a discussion about adding the two newcomers to the Dragons, seeing as they were already experienced fighters and had potent abilities for battle. After the business, it was easy banter, with the group laughing and chatting about anything and nothing at all. Erza smiled. This was a place she could finally feel at home.
Mira raised her hand and knocked, waiting for the voice to call her inside. When Ultear acknowledged her, Mira let herself in, shutting the door behind her. Ultear smiled as she turned around. "What may I help you with, Lieutenant?" She said, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Mira swallowed nervously. "I have the answer from yesterday." She began. Ultear nodded. "I figured as such." "We, as a squad, have decided to join you, Lieutenant Milkovich. We await our orders." Ultear smiled. "Excellent." Striding around the desk, the raven-haired woman embraced Mira, who stood there, surprised. "We'll need to find replacements for Captain Scarlet and Private Lockser. I have one person in mind, but we'll need to find another candidate soon. I want your squad to be at full strength, okay?" Mira nodded. "I have a friend that I can ask. She's military intelligence, so she could be really helpful." Ultear beamed. "That would be great!" She walked back around the desk, taking a seat. "Now, get going. Go home and grab some sleep, Lieutenant. I'll call you tomorrow." Mira nodded, walking out of the office and into the hallway.
"How about you guys go home?" Laxus asked, noticing the increasingly heated looks that Natsu and Erza shared. As the day had worn on, everyone tried to take it easy on the drinks, except for Natsu, who never did anything by half. Eventually, he had convinced Erza to join him, and they were both currently four beers deep and nursing their fifth. "Might as well." Natsu said. Gray and Juvia stood up from the table. "We'll go home as well. It is getting kind of late." Laxus nodded, glancing at Gajeel, who was nursing his third beer of the night. "I'll stay and help you pick up." The black-haired iron wielder said, noticing his comrade's eyes on him. Grinning, Laxus turned back to Natsu and Erza, who were currently in the midst of a kiss. Rolling his eyes, he cleared his throat. "Relax, ya party pooper." Natsu said, a small slur in his speech, as he separated from Erza. "We're going, keep your britches on." Laxus scoffed. "Hurry it up then, lover boy. I'm pretty sure Kinana wants to spend some time with Eric. And from the looks of it, you two could use some quality time to-how do I say this-celebrate your reunion?" Laxus winked at Natsu, who scowled good-naturedly. "Yeah, yeah, we're going," He said, grabbing Erza's hand and walking out of the pub, slightly buzzed. Laughing, Laxus and Gajeel helped Kinana pick up the empty beer bottles at their table and dispose of them, then wiped down the tables as Kinana stepped aside to get changed, reappearing a few minutes later in a green and white sundress. "What's the occasion?" Gajeel asked, glancing up from the table in the corner he was scrubbing. Kinana smiled shyly. "Eric and I are going to watch the stars from the Tenrou tree tonight, since it's supposed to be clear tonight." She said, nervously adjusting the straps of her dress. Laxus gave her a thumbs up. "Hope it goes well!" He said, and Kinana beamed as she walked out the door with a hurried "thank you." Gajeel guffawed as he went back to scrubbing the table. "Seems like everybody's in love now, huh, Laxus?" He asked, moving on to the table beside the door. "Everyone except us." Laxus replied, smiling wryly. "You ever think about slowing down?" Gajeel questioned. Laxus stood up, tossing the rag he used in the basket behind the bar. "Not enough time to right now. After all this? The fighting, the rescue missions, the hiding, the training? We'll see." Gajeel nodded, tossing his own rag into the basket. "I hear you. Even if I did have time, I don't even think that I would go for anybody here. I don't see anybody in that way." Gajeel said. Laxus nodded. "Same here." He said, locking the door to the pub as per Kinana's instructions. "Who knows?" Laxus continued, as Gajeel walked out. "Maybe we'll find somebody." Gajeel laughed. "Maybe we will."
"Interesting." The black-haired man said, looking at the book in his hands and resting his head on his open palm. "And you say this…weapon will track the Anomalies and kill them all?" "It should, Lord Geer. This could be the solution to the Anomaly threat once and for all." The engineer in front of him said, his head bowed. "In the meantime," A blonde haired man said, teeth bared in a feral smile, "we need to take care of the Dragons. Those thieving scoundrels have bothered us for too long." The black-haired man smiled, his eyes closed. "That is a good idea, Jackal. You and Tempester will set a trap for them and eliminate them. Then, we will set the weapon for a collision course with the destruction of the Anomalies once and for all."
Natsu laughed as he and Erza made their way back to the apartment, both giddily feeling the effects of the alcohol they had consumed over the three hours they spent at Kinana's. They both giggled as Natsu fumbled with the doorknob, before tumbling into the apartment. Somehow, in the confused pile of limbs falling through the doorway, Erza ended up pinned underneath Natsu, staring up into his eyes. "Sorry," Natsu said, climbing off of her and clambering to his feet. Erza gratefully accepted his hand, and pulled herself up to her feet. Stumbling slightly, she almost fell, only to be caught by Natsu's strong embrace. Looking up, she got lost in his eyes, the rich dark grey orbs capturing her total attention. Raising her head, she captured his lips in an intense kiss. Running her hands up the back of his shirt, her fingers explored the broad, muscled expanse of her lover's back. Pulling him backwards, she tried to lead him towards the couch in the living room, but Natsu pulled away with a mischievous smirk, grabbing her hand and pulling her up to the bed room. Stumbling through the door, they resumed the passionate kiss from downstairs, Erza's hands again finding their way underneath his shirt, while Natsu's hands cupped her ass and pulled her closer to him. Erza moaned a she felt Natsu's bulge rub against her, allowing his tongue to explore her mouth.
They both backed up, their lips still locked together, until Erza gasped as she felt her knees hit the edge of the bed. Natsu smirked as she lay underneath him, his fingers running up the side of her shirt, before returning to the hem and looking up into her eyes, silently asking permission. Erza nodded, and Natsu slowly removed her shirt, leaving Erza covered only in her shorts and a black bra. Natsu paused for a moment, taking a few seconds to look at the body of his fiancée, from the perfect curves to the small remnants of the scar on her chest. Leaning down, he kissed his way up the scar, from her left hip to her right shoulder. As Erza moaned softly, he kissed from her collarbone to the pulse point on her neck, causing her to arch her back in pleasure. Natsu smirked against her neck as his hands wrapped around her, unclipping her bra and tossing it on the floor to join her shirt. Erza gasped as Natsu flicked his thumb over her exposed nipple, causing a jolt of pleasure. Natsu kissed his way down to her right breast, taking it in his mouth and running his tongue around the pale pink nipple, causing Erza to arch her back and moan in pleasure. Natsu took the other nipple and rolled it between his fingers. Erza bucked her hips, practically begging for Natsu to remove the rest of her clothes, but Natsu was having none of it. He held her hips down with his left hand, while his mouth and his right hand continued their ministrations to her breasts. "Natsu…please!" Erza moaned. Natsu smiled, lifting his head from her chest. "Is the great Erza Scarlet begging?" he teased, looking at her. Erza glared at him, then smirked. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled his head in for a kiss, then flipped, them, so that Natsu was lying on his back, with Erza knelt astride him. She leaned over him, her arms on either side of his head. She bent down and kissed him, before moving her hands to the hem of his shirt, pulling it off and tossing it to join the rest of their clothes who-knows-where. Running her hands down his sculpted chest, she bent down and kissed his collarbone, kissing her way up his neck and to his ear. "I am so glad that I get to do this again." She whispered, nibbling on his ear. Natsu shuddered in pleasure. Erza bent down and nipped at his neck, right on his sensitive spot, causing him to gasp and moan in pleasure. She continued to kiss her way down his body, running her tongue over his sculpted abs. Natsu bucked his hips, causing Erza to gasp as their nether regions came into contact. Erza smirked. "Oh?" She asked, grinding her hips against his and causing Natsu to throw his head back in pleasure. "Is someone wanting something?" She ground her hips against his again, and Natsu let out a groan. "Erza, if you don't stop, I'm gonna-" Erza silenced her with a kiss, simultaneously reaching down and unbuttoning Natsu's jeans. She broke the kiss and slid is pants down, revealing his black boxers and the impressive tent that he was currently pitching. "Well, well, well." She said, sliding herself down his body and hooking her fingers around the waistband of his boxers. "Someone certainly is excited."
With that, she slid his boxers down his legs, tossing them over her shoulder and leaving Natsu naked on the bed. Erza crawled back up his body, planting a kiss on his lips. Natsu, however had other ideas, wrapping his arms around her neck and flipping her underneath him, much like she had done to him earlier. Natsu ran his hands down her sides, eliciting a shudder of pleasure from Erza. Natsu unbuttoned her shorts and slid them down her long legs, tossing them over his shoulder to join the rest of their clothes and leaving Erza in just a pair of black panties. Natsu ran two fingers over her panty-clad sex, causing Erza to arch her back and let out a gasp of pleasure. He lowered his head to her chest and took her nipple in his mouth, running his tongue over the pale pink skin. Erza squirmed and mewled as the pleasure reached new heights. She arched her back in pleasure as Natsu slid a hand down her panties and toyed with her entrance, sending burst of pleasure straight to her core. She gasped as Natsu pleasured her body, the feelings so intense after three years' absence. She gasped and moaned in pleasure as Natsu's long fingers toyed with her clit and entrance, bringing her to the edge. She let out a high-pitched moan as Natsu slid a finger inside, crooking it and hitting her sensitive spot, and very nearly lost it when he added a second and began pumping in and out of her, all the while stimulating her clit with his thumb. It didn't take long before she fell over the edge into orgasm, her back arching off of the bed as Natsu helped her to ride it out. After a few moments, she collapsed onto the bed, spent. Natsu removed his fingers and placed them in his mouth, licking them clean. After that, he climbed on top of Erza, helping her ease her panties off and tossing them on the floor next to the bed. Erza wrapped her arms around Natsu's neck as Natsu positioned himself, then gasped as she felt him enter her, his shaft sliding in effortlessly and filling her. Natsu paused for a moment, letting Erza readjust to the feeling. When she nodded, he pulled out so that only the tip remained inside of her, then eased forward slowly, drawing a long, low moan out of Erza. Natsu repeated the process several times, until Erza was nearly sobbing with want for him. "Please, Natsu!" She moaned, wrapping her legs around his waist. "I need you." Natsu smirked. "You have me." He said. "Now and forever." With that, he pulled out and rammed into Erza with primal lust, causing her to gasp with pleasure. Natsu pounded into Erza, the sound of skin slapping skin reverberating through the room, along with gasps and moans from the two lovers. Natsu paused, placing Erza's legs on his shoulders, and resumed his savage pounding, going deeper than before and causing Erza to scream with pleasure. "Oh God, Natsu!" She moaned. "Don't stop!" With that, Erza slipped over the edge for the second time that night, losing herself to another orgasm. Natsu grunted as Erza's core tightened around him, as he was close to his own release. Slowing the pace down a little, Natsu pumped in and out of Erza at a leisurely pace, placing her legs back on the bed and prolonging the feeling of togetherness for a little bit longer. When Erza wrapped her legs around him, though, it was all over. With a long groan, Natsu came, filling Erza and collapsing next to her, leaving both of them satisfied.
After a bit, the pair got up and went into the bathroom to get cleaned up. Natsu walked up behind Erza as she stood there, in all her glory, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his head on her shoulder. "I missed you, Red." He said, kissing her cheek. Erza nodded, turning and placing a kiss on the side of his mouth. "I missed you, too, Natsu." She said, trying not to cry. "Every day that I woke up, I wondered what we'd be doing if you had survived. I would take out the ring for no reason other than to daydream. It was…" Erza closed her eyes as the flood of memories poured in. Natsu tightened his arms around her waist. "It's alright, Red. I'm here.
I won't leave you again."
