Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, Natsu and myself hope you're enjoying Flames and Keys . We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.
thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.
We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
P.S: sorry for the delay guys, I(Lucy) don't have any internet at the moment so for the next month of so the number of chapters I upload isn't going to be as large and won't be as frequent
-The bell for second period goes-
Lucy: *packs her guitar away as well as the microphone. She packs her bag* I've got to get to English
Natsu: English with who?
Lucy: with someone called Miss Aries
Natsu: *smiles* I have English with her now too. *he walks over to his guitar case and locks it, grabbing his bag*
Lucy locks her guitar case smiling. She grabs her bag and heads for the door. Natsu walks up to Lucy and hesitantly grabs onto her hand, blushing and looking away. Lucy blushes and smiles.
-at Lunch-
Lisana: *to Gray* does anyone know if Natsu even came to school today?
Levy: I don't think he would have. But didn't Erza have English with him today?
Lisana: oh okay
Wendy: *looks around and sees Natsu approaching the table with Lucy and Erza* Natsu-san did come today
Lisana: *frowns when she see's Natsu and Lucy holding hands* why are they holding hands?
Levy: I don't know
Lisana sighs the rests her chin on her hands
Wendy: Something wrong Lisana-san?
Lisana: no it's nothing *stands up.* I'm going to get something to eat *walks away*
Levy: *sighs* Poor Lisana
Wendy: what's wrong with Lisana-san?
Levy looks at Gray
Gray: *sighs* It's nothing Wendy. Don't worry about it
Wendy: okay
-Erza, Natsu and Lucy arrive at the table-
Natsu: Hey guys
Lucy: hello
Gray: hey flame brain. Hey Lucy, hey Erza
Natsu: *looks at the table and sees Lisana isn't there* Where's Lisana?
Gray: she went to get something to eat
Natsu: Oh. Okay.
Levy: How are you feeling, Natsu? We figured you wouldn't be coming today
Natsu: *runs his fingers through his hair, the slight bruising on his right arm visible* I'm still a little sore. But it's not the first time I've come to school after something like that
Gray: at least you're up and walking flame brain
Natsu: True. Unlike that time I was out of school for a few months
Levy: *shocked* That was from a beating? You told us you were on vacation. We even went by your house and there was no one there
Natsu: *looks away ashamed* It's not exactly something that you want to bring up at lunch
Erza: Natsu you should have told us
Natsu: I didn't even wanna tell Gray. He only found out because he saw the end of one of my little 'family moments'
Levy: So if we hadn't found out?
Natsu: *looks down at the floor* I wouldn't have mentioned it
Erza sighs and shakes her head
Levy: *turns to Gray* You actually saw one of the beatings happen?
Gray: *nods sadly* yes I did
Natsu takes a shaky breath and lightly squeezes Lucy's hand
Lisana: *walks back to the table* Wh..what did you see?
Lucy lightly squeezes Natsu's hand
Gray: *looks down at the table* natsu getting beaten by his father
Levy: How long have you known this was happening?
Gray: a few years
Lisana: Y..you knew for th..that long?
Gray nods
Erza: *looks at Natsu* how long has this been happening for?
Natsu: *his eyes start watering slightly, shocking everyone* S..since I was a kid. They got worse after my mother died
Erza: *shocked* then why do you keep going to see your father if he's doing this
Natsu: Because I don't have a choice. The man fucking terrifies me
Erza: so you're going to keep seeing him when he requests to see you, even though he beats you?
Natsu: *looks away from Erza* You wouldn't understand
Lucy: Natsu?
Natsu looks up at Lucy. She smiles slightly and squeezes his hand lightly. Natsu smiles slightly, a small blush creeping across his cheeks. Lucy sits down next to Natsu. She opens her bag and pulls out a heart shaped bento box and starts eating. Natsu sits down opposite Gray, leaning his head on his arms being careful of his right one
Levy: *looks around-*Has anyone seen Gajeel?
Erza: he was in the gym last time I saw him.
Levy: That was where I saw him last, but that was an hour ago
Natsu: I'm sure Needles is fine, Levy
Gray: yeah levy, flame brains right
Levy: *still worried* alright...
Lucy: Levy-chan I'm sure Gajeel will be fine
Natsu: *looks at Gray* Should we go look for him?
Gray: *scratches his head* yeah, I guess
Natsu gets to his feet and starts walking towards the gym. Gray gets up and follows Natsu
Natsu: *sniffs the air* Shit. *he starts running*
Gray: *runs after Natsu* what is it?
Natsu: Guess who's scent I just picked up with Gajeel's
Gray: *frowns then groans* not them again
Natsu: *nods* I picked up the smell of blood too. I can't tell who's
Gray: crap
Natsu: We gotta hurry *picks up speed*
Gray: right *runs after Natsu*
-In the locker room of the gym-
Sting: Well, well. If it isn't black steel Gajeel
Gajeel: *glares at sting* fuck off, I don't have time for your crap
Sting: Oh, now that's just hurtful. Especially after all I did for you when you started at school here
Gajeel: I don't give a fuck what did for me. All you did was fuck my life up
Sting: Not very grateful is he boys?
Cobra: doesn't look it sting *Cubeleous hisses in agreement*
Rogue: That would appear to be the case
Sting: *turns to Gajeel* I'll give you two options. You either join us again or you give me another dragon slayer instead. That blonde girl will do *smirks*
Gajeel: that's not my choice to make, you have to take it up with bunny girl or salamander
Sting: Gajeel. This is a limited time offer. It's YOU or another dragon slayer
Gajeel: *sighs* fine have the bunny girl, she has nothing to do with me
Sting: Good. You can bring her to me and take care of Salamander if you have to. I don't care about him
Gajeel: hey you said nothing about me having to get bunny girl
Sting: *smirks* Are you saying you're too weak to do that much?
Gajeel: I never said that
Rogue: *hears Natsu and Gray approaching* Cobra. Company.
Sting: Then take care of it or I may just have to target that little shrimp you left for
Cobra: Cubeleous guard the door *Cubeleous slithers to the door blocking the entrance*
Gajeel: I'll get bunny girl, don't you lay a fucking hand on Levy
Natsu: *running up to the door, he pushes against it but it doesn't budge* rgh! this stupid door won't budge
*natsu hears hissing from behind the door*
Natsu: Gray. Cubeleous is keeping the door jammed
Gajeel: I'll get bunny girls just leave Levy alone
Gray: *groans* I hate that freakin snake
Natsu bends down to the floor and blows fire down the crack below it. Cubeleous hisses angrily
Sting: *to Gajeel* It would appear the salamander and ice mage have come looking for you. If you get me Lucy I promise to leave Levy unharmed
Gajeel: I'll get her on her own after school just wait at her car
Natsu: (This isn't working) *increases the heat of the fire, burning Cubeleous' scales*
Cubeleous hisses angrily the door opens and wraps itself around Gray and Natsu
Natsu: rgh!
Gray: nghhh
Natsu: *concentrates and envelops his body in fire* Let the fuck go!
Cubeleous slithers off hissing in pain. As the flames dissipate Natsu he walks in to the gym in time to see Cubeleous wrap around Cobra's arm
Cobra: *to sting* they're here
Sting: Well, well. If it isn't the salamander and ice mage
Natsu glares at Sting and starts snarling
Gray: what are you up to now Sting?
Sting: Me? Nothing. You're being paranoid
Gray: then why are you cornering Gajeel in the locker room
Sting: I was just having a friendly little chat. Weren't we Gajeel?
Gajeel: sure
Natsu: Gajeel. Levy's looking for you. She's worried
Gajeel: oh right . *walks out of the locker room*
Natsu: *walks up to sting and jabs him in the chest* If you ever come near him again so help me you'll be in hospital for over a month
Sting: oh you're so scary Natsu
Natsu: *starts snarling* Do NOT fucking mess with me right now Sting. I am nowhere near the mood for it
Sting: fine. Just get out of my face
Gray: *starts to pull Natsu away* Come on flame brain
Natsu turns and walks away, Gray still dragging him along
Sting: *brushes off his uniform* oh Natsu, that girl what was her name? *scratches his head in thought* oh yes Lucy. She really is quite a gorgeous young lady
Natsu stops and starts snarling again
Sting: *smirks* you should keep her close or one day I may take her as my girlfriend
Sting: maybe she'll even join us
Natsu starts trembling, his body heat increasing and singeing his uniform
-the bell for 4th period rings-
Gray: *pulls on Natsu's arm* Flame brain we've gotta go
Sting: I suggest you listen to Fullbuster, don't wanna be late for class
Gray: Natsu, lets go. We did what we came here to do
Lucy: *walks into the gym for fourth period. She see's Natsu in the doorway* Natsu is everything okay?
Natsu: *stops snarling and looks away* Y..yeah. Everything's fine
Lucy: *smiles* okay *walks off to the girls change rooms*
Natsu: *looks at Gray* Was I as bad as I feel like I was?
Gray: Considering you don't generally snarl at people, including Sting, what do you think?
Rogue: *whispers to Sting* It seems like we may have found Salamander's weakness
Natsu: *looks at his uniform, there are holes and scorch marks in certain areas* Shit. Dad's gonna kill me
Lucy walks out of the change room wearing a pair of short shorts and a pink tank top
-during fourth period-
Lucy is stretching getting ready for sport. Natsu is leaning against the wall, glancing over at Lucy every now and then. Lucy she pulls her hair back into a pony tail then stretches her arms up. Natsu closes his eyes and sighs, rubbing his forehead
Lucy: *see's natsu. She walks over to him* Natsu are you okay?
Natsu: *looks up at Lucy* Huh?
Lucy: are you okay?
Natsu: I guess... I just have this really weird feeling
Lucy: weird feeling?
Natsu: Yeah. *sighs* I don't know why though
Lucy: well maybe some sports will get your mind of it, we've got archery first half
Natsu: *smiles slightly* I guess it could help
As Natsu and Lucy are speaking the teacher walks in, he has black hair but unusually he is wearing a horse head and a green track suit
Lucy: looks like the teacher is here
Natsu: *looks at the teacher, but he's clearly still distracted* Yeah
Natsu: *takes a piece of paper out of his pocket and hands it to Sagittarius* Here
Sagittarius: *reads the note* since you will not be participating you will sit off on the sidelines
Natsu: Okay. *walks back to Lucy and sits leaning against the wall*
Lucy: I'll see you after class *goes to walks off*
Natsu: *grabs onto her wrist* Just be careful, okay?
Lucy: *looks at Natsu* o..okay
Natsu: *lets go of her wrist
-During class-
Sting: *stands next to Lucy* Well, well. Looks like you've had quite the effect on pinky. He's almost sulking right now'
Lucy: what are you talking about?
Sting points over at Natsu who's leaning against the wall clearly bored with his arms crossed
Lucy: okay I see your point
Sting: It's pathetic really. Someone with a lost magic shouldn't be sulking over missing gym
Lucy: if you're going to make fun of Natsu around me I may as well go somewhere else
Sting: Oh? So what I'm hearing is you like him?
Lucy: *blushes* I didn't say that
Sting: Then you wouldn't be opposed to going on a date with me?
Lucy: *blushes* u...um I..I
Gray: *stepping in between them* That's enough Sting
Lucy: *looks at gray* Gray?
Sting: One girl's not enough for you Fullbuster, you have to have two?
Gray: Leave Juvia out of this
Lucy blushes red
Sting: Then leave dragon slayer business between dragon slayers
Natsu: *suddenly appears between Sting and Gray* Leave them alone Sting
Lucy: Natsu?
Sting: I was only talking to Lucy. Aren't I allowed to talk to fellow class mates
Natsu: Not after what you did to Gajeel earlier. Or what you did to Wendy earlier in the week
Lucy: what?
Gray moves in front of Lucy protectively
Lucy: what's going on?
Natsu: I'm only gonna give you one more warning, Sting. Leave my nakama alone
Sting: and why would I do that? Lucy is my nakama as well
Natsu starts snarling, fire enveloping his fists
Gray: Just because she's also a dragon slayer it doesn't make her YOUR nakama
Lucy: c..cut it out
Natsu: *looks back at Lucy, the fire disappearing* L..Luce?
lucy: I want to be friends with everyone, and fighting isn't going to solve anything *sighs. she goes to walk over to the archery area*
Natsu: *sighs and runs his hand through his hair. He turns to Gray* I need some time on my own. Make sure nothing happens?
Gray: Sure
Natsu starts walking out of the gym. Sting follows Lucy as Natsu walks to the locker room and gets changed into his uniform before heading up to the music rooms. Gray walks to the archery area
Lucy stands about 10 meters from 6 targets. She forms a bow and arrow with her magic. She aims at the middle target and releases the arrow. It splits into 6 different arrow and hits each one on the bulls eye
Gray: Woah
Lucy: *looks at Gray* what?
Gray: Nothing. Just impressed
Lucy smiles, she aims again the arrow split each previous arrow down the middle
Gray: VERY impressed
Lucy smiles brightly
Sting: (That could be very useful. As long as Gajeel keeps his word things shall be fine)
As the first half of the period finishes. Students go to the change rooms to get ready for swimming.
Juvia: *to Lucy* Juvia did not see Natsu. Is he okay?
Lucy: *she comes out in a white bikini with pink cherry blossoms on them. she sits on a chair near the pool* he's recovering from some injuries, but he'll be okay
Juvia: Juvia is glad. Gray-sama would never admit it, but he is truly worried for Natsu
Lucy: I can see it too
Juvia: You can?
Lucy: yeah, I know they're always picking fights and calling each other names, but I guess that's they're way of saying they care
Juvia: *smiles* Juvia agrees
Lucy smiles and fixes up her bikini top
Sting: *walks up to the girls* If it isn't the two most beautiful mages in class
Lucy: *blushes* y..you're just saying that
Sting: On the contrary. *places his fingers on her arm* I am actually quite serious
Lucy blushes and shivers
Sting: Have you had a chance to think about my offer?
Lucy: *blushes* w..what w..would we do?
Sting: Movies. Dinner. Maybe something... else
Lucy: I...I'm n..not sure
Sting: Surely there would be a way I could persuade you
Lucy: m..maybe
-Sting leans in closer. He makes her face him and brings his lips closer to hers-
Lucy's breathing quickens. As Sting moves closer their lips briefly touch before he kisses her. Lucy's surprised by the sudden kiss. She kisses him back. Sting forces his tongue in her mouth and climbs onto the chair and on top of Lucy, holding her down. Lucy struggles against Stings grip. Sting keeps his grip, his nails digging into her skin. Lucy flinches and groans into his mouth
Gray: *forces Sting off her* What the fuck do you think you're doing, Sting!?
Sting: *stands up and licks his lips* I was merely having a bit of fun
Lucy is panting, her face flushed
Gray: Natsu told you to leave Lucy alone
Sting: Oh yeah. And pinky is sooo terrifying
Gray: I'm also saying leave Lucy alone
Sting: *smirks and crosses his arms* Oh really? And what are you going to do Fullbuster?
Gray: I could get Erza. She'll put you in your place
Sting: I'd like to see you try. *walks away*
Gray glares at Sting
Lucy sitting on the chair her face is still slightly red
Juvia: Lucy, are you okay?
Lucy: *blinks* oh uh yeah *smiles*
Gray: What are you smiling about?
Lucy: oh uh nothing *stands up and walks to the pool. She climbs up onto the diving board where she jumps and flips entering the pool flawlessly*
-after school-
Lucy climbs out of the poor and goes into the change rooms. She has a shower then dries herself off and gets dressed then walks outside.
Sting: Lucy! Wait up!
Lucy: *turns and looks at sting. She blushes pink* oh uh Sting, hi
Sting: *smiles* I'm glad I caught you. I was wondering if you'd thought about joining my gang of dragon slayers
Lucy: I've been thinking about it, but I'm not sure
Sting: Lucy. I need an answer
Lucy: I'm not sure
Sting: *his smile drops* You want to help pinky don't you?
Lucy: I do
Sting: Then make a decision
Lucy: o..okay
Sting: Well?
Lucy: *fiddling with her skirt* I'll do it
Sting: *grins* Excellent. Just so you know though you are not allowed to see him outside of classes anymore unless you are with Rogue, Cobra and myself. It is part of the requirements for helping him
Lucy: *looks down* o..okay
Sting: Good. Come and I shall take you to Cobra and Rogue.
Lucy: okay
Sting leads Lucy through the school and past the music rooms. As they pass the music room from the morning, Lucy can hear a guitar being played.
Lucy: (Natsu) *glances at the music when they pass by*
Natsu is sitting in the music room. He strums for a little bit, tweaking every now and then and then writes something down on a piece of sheet music. The door is partially open. The sounds of Lucy's heeled school shoes echo down the hallway and can be heard in the music room. Natsu stops strumming for a second before shaking his head and going back to what he was doing
Lucy: Sting where exactly are we going *her voice can be heard in from the music room*
Natsu: Lucy?
Sting: I told you. We're going to go see Cobra and Rogue
Natsu: *carefully places his guitar down and heads to the door, opening it and seeing Lucy with Sting* Luce?
Lucy: *looks back* Natsu?
Natsu: Wh...what's going on?
Sting: Lucy's coming with me to meet Rogue and Cobra
Natsu: *turns to Lucy* Why are you doing that?
Lucy looks down
Sting: *wraps an arm around Lucy's shoulders* she's meetin' the rest of the gang
Natsu: The rest of the gang? Luce... Did you really...?
Tears gather in Lucy's eyes. She looks away
Sting: yeah pinky, Lucy joined the gang. All to help 'you'
Natsu: To help me? But..
Sting: She told me that after she saw you all beaten up, she wanted to help you
Natsu: *ignores Sting and concentrates on Lucy, reaching for her hand* Lucy, you didn't have to do this. I told you it's a regular thing, I'm used to it
Lucy: I..I already see enough beatings at home. I didn't want any of my friends especially you natsu being treated badly. You're the first friend I've ever made
Natsu: *looks at her sadly, pulling his hand away* I'm sorry. But if you're a part of Sting's gang then chances are we won't see each other outside of class.
Lucy: *tears trickle down her face* I..I just wanted to help *she ignores Sting and Natsu and runs down the hallway crying*
Natsu looks at Sting and then runs after Lucy. Lucy runs outside in a small garden. She sits down amongst the roses and cries
Natsu: *finds her and stops, panting heavily from running* Lu...cy...
Lucy: *sniffs covering her eyes* w..what?
Natsu: *kneels down next to her and pulls her into a hug. She notices that parts of his uniform are singed and burnt, there are even small holes* I...I'm sorry. I never wanted to make you worry
Lucy: I..I just wanted to help you *sniffs* sting said If I joined them they would help you
Natsu: I know you did. But Sting isn't likely to help me. He just wants power and in his eyes having dragon slayers follow him is the way to get it.
Lucy: *sniffs* but he said that dragon slayers should stick together
Natsu: Luce. He and Rogue apparently killed their teachers, and Cobra got his magic through a lacrima.
Lucy's her eyes widen in shock
Lucy: I..I had no idea
Natsu: Not a lot of people do. Sting is only after power, he had a lacrima inserted in both him and Rogue to get more but that's not enough for him. *he reaches and wipes her tears away*
lucy: why do they want me. my magic isn't that great
Natsu: You're a life magic user. It's one of the rarest types of magic and the fact that you're a life dragon slayer makes it even rarer
Lucy: I don't see why though, I've only got two offensive techniques, the rest are all defensive *looks down*
Natsu: *makes her look at him and smiles slightly* Even if that's the case, I like you for you and not for your magic. So please... Don't join his gang. Gajeel still has nightmares about the stuff they made him do
Lucy: *blushes slightly* y..you like me?
Natsu: *blushes* Uh... y..yeah.
Lucy: *blushes darker* like as in friend or like as in like like?
Natsu: L..like l..like
Lucy: *blushes then smiles* I like like you too
Natsu: *smiles and blushes even deeper* Y..you do? R..really?
Lucy: *nods* y..yeah
Natsu swallows and then hesitantly brings his face closer to hers. Lucy blushes slightly as he pulls her into a kiss, his blush a VERY deep red. Lucy kisses him back before he pulls away, smiling. Lucy smiles
Natsu: *laughs slightly* I could get used to that
Lucy blushes then smiles
-Suddenly they hear the sound of glass smashing and a car alarm sounding from the school carpark-
Natsu: *gets to his feet* That can't be good
Lucy: *gets to her feet* I hope it's not my car
Natsu: We might as well check it out. *he heads towards the carpark*
Lucy follows natsu out to the carpark
Natsu: Hey Luce? That's not your car is it? *points to a pink convertible which has its windows smashed and tires slashed. Anything worth taking has been stolen from the car*
Lucy: *drops to her knees with tears in her eyes, she's shaking* o..oh no. m..my d..dads g..gonna kill me
Natsu: *walks up to the car and finds a small white dragon plush in the backseat, still intact but torn pretty badly. He walks back and hands it to her* We'll fix this. I'll come with you and explain it *he smiles slightly*
Lucy: *takes the plush dragon and hugs it* n..no amount o..of e..explaining is g..going to stop m..me dad *shaking with fear*
Natsu: Until this gets settled you can stay at my place if you want. My dad won't mind, he'll probably enjoy having a girl in the house again
Lucy: *smiles slightly* thank you Natsu
Natsu: *smiles* No problem. Why don't we go back up to the music room and get our guitars. Then I'll drive us back to my place
Lucy: *nods* okay
