Chapter 7: The Tale Begins

A week after defeating the Skull Ninja dark guild, it's a sunny autumn morning and Lucy is waking up in the warm arms of her boyfriend. She rolls over to face him and sees him still sleeping so she cuddles up with him. Then there is silence as Lucy slowly drifts off to sleep again as she cuddles up to Natsu and in the background there is a faint sound of a cat purring as he sleeps.


When Natsu, Lucy and Happy arrived at the guild, Lucy noticed Erza sitting with Gerard, which she had only started doing since that mission they went on together and both of them, were trying to hide their blushing faces from each other as Lucy pointed them out to Natsu quietly. Natsu smiled and wrapped his arm around Lucy's shoulder while pulling her to the bar and Happy flew beside them. The couple then noticed Gray talking with Juvia while they sat at the bar "well that's new" Natsu whispered to Lucy, pointing at Gray and Juvia. After Mirajane brought the couple a drink each and gave Happy a fish, Lucy commented on how bored she was "Natsu lets go on a mission! Please I'm really bored!" Lucy begged him as he chugged half of his drink down with one gulp.

As he put his mug down Natsu looked at Lucy "okay then, Happy wanna come?" Natsu asked as Lucy walked over to the request board after Natsu agreed to take a mission. Finishing his fish, Happy just shook his head "I'm going to stay here Natsu, have fun" Happy told him before he started eating another fish. Lucy then returns with a mission paper in her hand and shows it to Natsu. He read it and a smile grew across his face, the mission was to take out another dark guild and this one was called Black Ronva. After Natsu had read the paper he agreed and they left the guild, hand in hand.


Lucy and Natsu were on the train, on their way to their mission and surprisingly Natsu wasn't being affected by his motion-sickness as he cuddled up with Lucy. This made him realise that Lucy was the cure to his motion-sickness and Natsu smiled at this. Half way through the train ride, Natsu noticed that Lucy had fallen asleep on him making him smile and held her close towards him.

When they arrived at the Dark Guild, Black Ronva, Natsu and Lucy went to opposite sides of the guild and began to brawl with the dark wizards. Natsu burned up his side causing flashes of red light go everywhere and Lucy used her strength to break a lot of bones and spill blood everywhere as the dark wizards fought her. As the fight continued, Lucy heard a few of the wizards call her a warrior as she punched someone in the face, breaking their nose. This reminded Lucy of how the psycho who gave her that crazy strength of hers had controlled her. Remembering this infuriated Lucy so she took her anger out on the dark wizards around her.


Through the past couple of weeks, Lucy, Natsu and the others had together taken down twelve dark guilds and Lucy was only relying on her strength. She had lost count of how many wizards she had punched, kicked and smashed during this time.

It was now winter and the weather did show how cold it was outside, it was frosty and the ground had a small blanket of snow on top of it. Of course Gray wasn't affected by the weather, he loved the cold, and Natsu wasn't affected by the cold as he was his own personal heater but Lucy didn't really like the cold weather as she shivered while walking to the guild. As Lucy entered the guild, the wizards that were already gathered there noticed her heavy shivering while Lucy walked over to the bar. After she sat down, Lucy wrapped her arms around herself to try to warm up "hot chocolate Lucy? You look cold where's Natsu? He could fix that" Mirajane asked her as she held a steaming mug of hot chocolate with three small marshmallows floating on top. Lucy accepted the drink, holding it and smiled with the warmth it brought her "I have no idea where Natsu is, he wasn't home when I woke up" Lucy replied while taking a sip of her drink.

After a while, Natsu walked into the guild with a smile on his face. He then notices Lucy at the bar drinking her hot chocolate so he walks over to her and surprises her with a hug. Whilst placing the mug on the counter, Lucy tries not to choke on the marshmallow in her mouth "Luce you're really cold and you're shivering!" Natsu said to her as he sat down beside her. Recovering from the shock Natsu gave her, Lucy turned to face Natsu "well you should know that I'm not a fire wizard like you, so it's hard for me to keep warm!" she explained to him taking another swig of her hot chocolate. Then Natsu stood up and without saying anything, he embraced Lucy in a bear hug and when he did this he saw her smile from the heat.

While Natsu has Lucy in a bear hug, Levy walks over "hey Lucy, hey Natsu" she says to them as they turned around to face her "hey Levy" Lucy says as Natsu nods his head at Levy. Then Levy's expression turned serious "Lucy I've been hearing a rumour while out on missions" Levy explains to Lucy while she was embraced in Natsu's bear hug "what is it Levy?" Lucy asks with a slight bit of worry in her voice. Levy looks straight into Lucy's eyes "The Enemy Of Dark Guilds Is The Blonde Warrior" as Levy says this Lucy's eyes widen as she begins to think about the rumour.

"Blonde Warrior? I've heard dark wizards call me a warrior! This isn't good" she thought to herself with shock in her eyes.

Her expression was still serious as Levy went on to say something else "Lucy I think this rumour is about you" Levy told her as she looked at Natsu, who was shocked by this. Lucy looked slightly shocked by what Levy had said to her but shrugged her shoulders "I don't care if it is or not, but thanks for telling me Levy!" Lucy replied to her as her shocked expression turned into a smile "there's a good chance they could mean me seeing as I've only used my strength on my missions against dark guilds" Lucy explained as Natsu began to release his bear hug on her.

Natsu walks off and began talking with Gray while Levy sat down beside Lucy and the two began talking about random things. After a while of random subject talking, the subject turned to the fact that Levy and Gajeel had been going on missions together. When Lucy asked Levy about it, Levy began blushing "oh come on Levy you can tell me!" Lucy begged as she placed her hands together to form a begging sign. Levy looks at Lucy "it's nothing, we're just friends!" Levy told her while blushing and she lowered her head slightly to hide the blush. Lucy just looked at her "Levy, please tell me!" she continued to beg as she lifted her begging hands and lowered her head. Levy was surprised by what her friend was doing but eventually gave in "okay I guess I kind of like him" Levy started blushing more as she confessed to Lucy, who had lifted her head in shock.

Recovering from her shock, Lucy finished her hot chocolate "you should tell him Levy! You never know he might feel the same way" she explained to Levy as the blush on Levy's face darkened. As the blush began to fade Levy looked at Lucy "you're right Lucy! I think I'll go talk to him now" Levy exclaimed as she stood up and Lucy just waved to her with a smile as Levy walked towards the table where Gajeel was sitting with Pantherlily.

As Levy approached Gajeel, who was chugging half his mug down, Pantherlily noticed her "hey Levy" he greeted her as Gajeel placed his mug back onto the table "thought I told you to stop mocking me Lily!" Gajeel said to him with an angry look on his face as he glared at his cat. Levy blushed at what Gajeel had just said "u-umm Gajeel?" she asked while stuttering and when Gajeel turned to face her, she saw his eyes had become wide when he saw her "bookworm? What are you doing here?" Gajeel asked with a slight bit of shock in his voice.

Levy gulped before she continued "I-I wanted to t-tell y-you s-s-something" she explained as she struggled to hide her blushing face. Gajeel was unable to say anything as he looked at the small, blushing solid-script wizard "Gajeel, I-I-I l-love y-y-you!" she confessed as she started shaking slightly from embarrassment. Gajeel blushed extremely and could barely breathe after Levy confessed her feelings to him, but then he stood up and embraced her "I-I love you too!" Gajeel whispered to her as he held her against him tightly. Pantherlily smiled at the sight of the two wizards in their tight embrace.


While Levy was walking away, Lucy heard a crash near her and turned to face the source. She then sees Natsu and Gray fighting again, Lucy sighed and shouted "STOP FIGHTING!" after her outburst, Natsu and Gray immediately stopped and Natsu walked over to Lucy. Embracing Lucy in another hug, Natsu shivered "Luce! You're still really cold!" He explained in a very loud voice while Lucy just enjoyed the embracing heat. Just then Natsu takes off his scarf and wraps it around Lucy's neck "Natsu what are you doing? This is your scarf" Lucy asked him as he finished wrapping it around her neck. Natsu broke out his trade-mark toothy grin "I'm giving it to you that's why" he told her as her eyes widened in shock.
