Lucy Heartfilia stared right at Natsu Dragneel as he was sleeping with his top half of his body hanging off the bed. She lifted up her right hand carefully then... She poked him. Natsu swatted at her hand trying to make it stop. She kept poking him. She giggled as he turned his head away from her.
Erza watched Lucy mess with Natsu. What was the blond doing?
Lucy got bored after 10 pokes. She went over to Gray and started poking him. Gray grabbed her finger and started to freeze it. Lucy jumped back startled. Gray still didn't let go of her finger and it was so cold. Lucy tried to think of something but the only thing she could think of was to bite his hand.
She had done it once to Loke when she was younger because he had her nose. Lucy opened up her mouth and then bit down on Grays hand. The Ice Mage's eyes flew open. His dark eyes locked with Lucys brown ones. He stared at her shocked. She was biting him!
Erza smirked as she watched them. This was entertaining.
The two mage stared at each other. One was biting the other. Lucy let go. He tasted like sweat. Yuck. Gray let go of her finger and wiped off his hand on the bed sheets. Lucy blushed as it dawned on her normal people probably didn't do that.
Gray stared at the girl. SHE BIT HIM! He couldn't believe it! "Y-You bit me...?" His voice rang through the quite room. Lucy slowly nodded her head. Gray had to wonder how daring she was. Would she bite Natsu if he paid her?
"Bite Flame Brain." He demanded. Lucy looked at him as if he lost his mind. Which she was fairly sure all of Fairy Tail had lost theirs at some point. She wondered if she'd lose hers? Not the point. Gray had just asked her to bite Natsu.
"U-Um..." Was her intelligent reply. Gray hopped off the bed and started going through his pockets. He pulled out 50 jewels. "I'll pay you. Bite him. Hand, feet, I don't care. Make him feel pain."
Lucys eyes widened. What?! She didn't know what to do! It would be nice to have at least 50 jewels though... Lucy looked at Gray, then at Natsu, then at the money. She'd do it. "Okay."
Erza smirked as she watched Lucy craw over to Natsu. Although she didn't want her to make the bet she would let it be. For now.
Lucy looked right at Natsus up side down head. Where should she bite him? She didn't want to get anywhere near his feet and his hand were under the covers now so she couldn't get to them. Happy flew over to Lucy with a smirk on his devil kitten face. He landed on Lucys shoulder.
"Bite him on the nose." The kitten supplied happily. Lucy looked a him then nodded. She had no reason not to trust the sneaky cat and she didn't know where else to do it. Happy flew over to Erza who asked him what he said to the blond.
"She likkkkeees him." the blue feline replied. Erza gave him an odd look before turning her gaze back to Lucy. Gray was watching with Lucy with a smirk on his face. She was doing it!
Lucy opened her mouth and bit down on the Fire Dragon Slayers nose. A few moments passed before Natsus eyes flew open much like Grays did.
Natsus eyes were met with the blonds neck. Blond hair soon got in his way of seeing and her scent hit him. She smelled like vanilla and fire. He liked it. But if when Happy asked him later he would deny everything the cat said.
As Natsu was getting use to the sent a pain shot in his nose. What the hell?! His hands reached up to his nose. He felt the pain go away the minute his hands started moving.
"Pay up Gray." He heard Lucy voice. Pay? What was going on? He looked around the room Why was everything upside down? How could Lucy, Erza, Happy and Ice Princess stand upside down?! Did they get some kind of magic?! Why was his head hurting?
"You're upside down idiot." Gray stated after handing Lucy the money.
Natsu set up right as he wondered why Gray was paying Lucy. Why was he? What did sh- Wait. He PAID HER! He paid her to bite him! Natsu glared at him. "You paid her to bite me!" Natsu accused. Who does that?!
Gray smirked at the fire breather. "Yeah, so?" Natsu lunged at him with his fists aflame. Erza quickly and easily pulled Natsu back by his scarf. "No fighting." She stated, glaring at both boys.
"Let's go. I want to back at the guild by tomorrow morning." The red head commanded. Lucy was next to Erza in a flash. She didn't want to anger the armored woman. Natsu glared at Gray before turning and following Lucy and Erza. Gray quickly ran after them leaving the room a mess.
"We've been walking forever!" Lucy mumbled to Natsu. She and Natsu had been talking for the past hour to past time. It was fine in till the sky started to get dark.
Lucy felt like her legs were going to fall off. She glanced at the others and saw them still going like it was nothing. They were monsters! How could the not feel like their legs would fall off?
Lucy walked closer to Natsu. Maybe he could carry her. "Natsu?" She whispered. She nudged him with her shoulder. He looked over at her. "Yeah?"
"Carry me." Natsu stopped and looked at her. Did he want to carry her? No. Did he want to smell her scent again? Yes. Was he going to carry her in the end? "Fine." She climbed onto his back and wrapped her arms around hes neck. He grabbed onto her thighs to keep her from falling off.
He started walking again catching up with Gray and Erza. Erza glanced at t Lucy but other wise didn't comment. The red-head glanced up at the sky then at the other two that were walking. She knew Natsu was fine. He was just happy that they didn't take the train. Gray looked like he was okay but she knew both of them need rest. She would stop and make camp in about two more hours.
To past the time Lucy would count the different flowers and trees they passed. She could only name a few that Virgo had taught her. She felt her eyes get heavy so she rested her head on Natsus shoulder. He smelt like the tress were burning. Her whole body relaxed just by the smell. Why was she so comfortable around him? She didn't know why. She didn't want to think about it right now ether. Her eyes slid close. She fell into a wonderful dream.
Natsu kept walking when he felt Lucy go limp at first he didn't know what was a going on but once he heard her breathing even out he calmed down. He kept walking for awhile next to Erza. Gray was on the other side of her so they wouldn't start a fight.
Erza looked over at Gray and saw he was starting to slow down. She checked with Natsu and Lucy to find Lucy asleep and Natsu still going. It had been about an hour and a half so she guessed it was okay to stop.
"We'll make camp here." She stated. She stopped and looked around they were surrounded by trees and although it probably wasn't the best place to spend the night it would do. She walked over to Natsu and walked behind him and grabbed hold of Lucy. Lucy awoke with a jolt. She turned looked around and found a tree she remembered.
Erza let her go and watched her. What was the blond doing? Lucy walked over to the tree and started to trace her hand around it. She felt for the mark that she put on it.
Once she found the sign for Aquarius she smiled. She was near her lake. Her house wasn't far from here. "Come with me! I know where we are!" Lucy chirped happily.
Lucy toke off running. She was going to see her home. Lucy kept going for 10 minutes in till she came to a stop in front of her home. She smiled and started climbing the ladder.
Erza who was right behind her looked around. How did Lucy know this place? Did she know the person living here? Lucy had run right past a fence gate so she must know the person. Erza didn't take Lucy for one to break in.
Gray pretty much had the same thought as Erza. He had no clue what had just happened. One minute Erza had to said they were making camp the next they were running following Lucy.
Natsu looked around. This place looked awesome! He wondered what would happen if he burn started a fire. He remembered Igneel telling him not to burn down the trees. Would Lucy tell him the same thing? Only one way to find out.
Fire licked across his hand and danced in his palm as a smirk grew across the Fire Mages face. He jumped over to the closest tree and set it aflame. Fire started spreading through out the tree. Smoke filled the night air causing the other three to cough.
Lucy ran out from the small house looking a round for fire. She found Natsu standing there proudly staring at the fire.
"NATSU!"
Gray had put the fire out but before he did about 10 threes were burned down. Erza quite happily tied Natsu up and gagged him so she didn't have to hear him scream.
"This where I used to live." Lucy stated. She smiled at her tree house. She had missed it over the past few days. It had been about a week since she had spent a night in the house.
Lucy giggled from the top of the stairs, watching Erza drag Natsu up by ropes. Natsu was trying to scream out but the clothe between his teeth kept him quite. Gray was laughing at him while Happy was asleep on the Ice Mages shoulder.
Lucy swung open the door and smiled. She was just so happy! Nothing was in there since they had cleaned it out. Virgo was keeping everything with her in till Lucy had found a new home.
"Open! Gate of the maiden! Virgo!" Lucy said, holding the maidens key in front of her. The pink haired maid bowed to the girl. Her blue eyes glanced behind Lucy and met with the others quickly. She knew Erza. Aries had told her about the red-head. She didn't know the others. Was the pink haired boy an enemy? Did he attack the princess like the other girl had?
"Virgo I would like for you to meet Erza, Gray, Happy and Natsu." Lucy introduced. The maid looked them and nodded. She stood up and looked around. They were back home?
"Have you returned home?" Virgo asked. Lucy shook her head no. "No, just spending the night. We were out on a job. Tomorrow will be heading to Fairy Tail."
Virgo kept looking over at the tied up Natsu. Why was he tied up? What happen? She could see his Fairy Tail mark which means he belongs to the same guild that Lucys in. "I'll get your things Princess." Virgo disappeared in a flash of light. Lucy looked around the house with Gray and a sleeping Happy as Erza untied Natsu.
After Virgo came back with food and sleeping bags she left soon after telling them that Capricorn would be there at 8 am to wake them up. The minute she had returned with food Natsu was eating like a pig. Once Virgo had seen he ate all of the food she went to make more for the others. Hapyy had woken up just in time before she left to ask for fish.
Virgo reappeared with fish and stew. She handed larger bowls of stew to everyone then two fishes to Happy. Happy stuck them in his mouth and rolled on his back in Lucys lap purring happily.
After eating they all went to be with Lucy looked out her window watching the stars. A lot has happened over the last few days. She had joined Fairy Tail and she had friends and more family.
Lucy fell to sleep peacefuly.
"Lucy dear please calm down." Layla Heartfilia commanded lightly. Her daughter was pouting on her bed. After her father had told her to go to her room she had throw a fit.
It wasn't fair! It was her birthday! She want to go back down and talk to that boy again! He was weird and funny. Maybe her mother would allow him to talk to her.
"Mamma?" Layla patted Lucy head. "Yes, dear?" Lucy looked up at her mother with her lip trembling and her eyes filled with tears. She was trying to go for her best puppy dog face. "I want to talk to that boy again." Lucy mumbled her voice sounding heartbroken.
Layla took one look at her daughter and broke. "Okay. Who is it?" She asked. Lucys face was beaming with joy. "His name is Laxus!"
Lucy paced back and forth in her bed room. Her mother had left 10 minutes ago to get the boy. There was a knock on the door. Lucy ran to it and swung it open. Her mother was standing there with the boy. He was tall and had blue/gray eyes and bright blond hair. He had a scar on his right eye that looked like lightning.
Lucy smiled and pulled the older boy into her room letting her mother close the door. Lucy smiled up at him as he crossed his arms. "Yeah?" he asked. Lucy started giggling and plopped down on her floor. She grabbed his hand and pull him with all her might. He didn't move but when he took one look at her mother he was on the floor with the girl.
He knew his grandfather would have his head if he wasn't nice to the young girl. "Will you be my friend?" She asked her voice so full of joy and hope. He looked at her out of the corner of his eyes and sighed. 'Be nice' he reminded himself.
"Yeah, whatever."
Lucy woke up to the smell of eggs and toast. Her eyes fluttered open and she yawned.
"Miss Lucy? It's time to wake up." Lucy looked at Capricorn and nodded. "I'm up." She mumbled out.
Lucy looked around and found everyone eating. Capricorn handed Lucy a plate of food and she gladly took it.
After eating Virgo had taken the plates and sleeping bags back with her to the spirit world. Capricorn was waiting for Lucy and the new team at the bottom of the stairs.
Lucy was taking one last look at her house. This this time she was sure that she wouldn't see it again. Lucy patted the tree much like the first time then turned and started walking away following Team Natsu and Capricorn.
It was about 12 and Lucy was getting tired. Once again she looked over at Natsu. A wide smirk crossed over her face as she slowed her pace so she was now behind Natsu. She ran up and jumped on his back. Natsu stumbled a little bit quickly caught his self.
Lucy wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Natsu grabbed her legs to keep her from falling. What did she think he was? Some sort of transportation? He felt his stomach knot at the thought of being on something that moved.
Lucy rested her head on Natsu shoulder as she counted the trees. Natsu got over his motion sickness as he turned and looked at Lucy over his shoulder. Their cheeks were touching. Lucy started blushing bright red. Natsu quickly turned his head back so he was facing everyone else.
Natsu felt his face heat up slightly, it wasn't as hot as his fire though. Why was his face hot? Lucy. It must have been something Lucy did. She was weird after all.
They kept walking for another 3 and a half hours. Talking and joking with each other. When every Gray or Natsu would start to argue Erza would glare at them and point out that Lucy was sleeping on Natsus back. Which often lead to Happy calling the blond fat and Natsu commenting on how much she must like fatty food. Of course this lead to Erza having to say something. Often it was, "Lucy can like whatever food she wants. Even if it is mostly fat."
Lucy must have known they were talking about her because she woke up and glared at all of them but Capricorn and Gray. Gray had wisely chosen to stay out of this topic. And Capricorn because he had also done so.
"I don't like fatty food!" Lucy exclaimed. Why did they think that?! Did she really look like that's all she ate? Fatty food?
"I apologize Lucy. You may hit me." The armored woman stopped and knelt in front of Natsu and Lucy. Natsu turned his head ans whispered to Lucy, "Hit her while you have the chance."
Lucy let go with her right hand and hit him with it. "Natsu!" She snapped, turning to Erza she said, "I will not hit you." Erza nodded and stood back up. Everyone started walking again. Happy had flown down and into the arms of Capricorn . The feline soon went to sleep.
After another half an hour they reached the town of Magnolia. Lucy let go of Natsu and climbed down his back. He let go of her.
He threw her over his shoulders and started running to Fairy Tail. Lucy was screaming the whole way. Erza and Gray were soon to follow. All three of them breaking everything in there path.
Capricorn woke the cat up before disappearing. Happy went flying after Team Natsu it was easy to find them. All he had to do was follow the broken stuff and yelling people!
Lucy stood next to the bar in front of Mira and Lisanna. Her hair was wind blow and her clothes were all wrinkled. Natsu just had to go through the fan shop.
"Hi Lucy. Have fun?" Mirajane asked as she tried to hide her giggles. Lisanna didn't even try. She burst out laughing. Lucy glared at both of them.
"Oh I had sooo much fun." Lucy muttered as sarcastically. Well. She did have fun up in till Natsu had throw her over his shoulder carrying her like luggage.
The guild doors opened and in walked a large man. He had blue/gray eyes and bright blond hair and a scar on his right eye in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Lucy gasped. It was that boy! He was the first friend she had around her age! What was his name? She couldn't remember! No! She need to know his name! Lucy kept digging through her memories. What was his name? Oh!
"LAXUS!"
