"I hope you realize that I'm never leaving this room ever again." Lucy was spread eagle on her bed, surrounded by an assortment of foods that she was trying to shove in her mouth.
After being fed nothing but tasteless slop while being Midnight's captive, she wanted to remember what the good life tasted like again.
Cobra was sat on her bedroom floor with his back against the bed frame, a huge smile stretching his lips. Even with food smeared all over her face and in her hair, she was still the most beautiful woman in all of Fiore.
She was getting her shine back and boy was her soul singing. It made him happy knowing that nobody else could make her do that.
"Hey Erik, look at me." Lucy mumbled through a mouth of food. He turned his head and immediately regretted it. A glob of cream hit him square in the face, soon followed by Lucy's warm tongue licking it off.
"Mm, tastes even better." Cobra amethyst eye stared at her in shock as she licked his face clean and then wiped it with a napkin. She smiled innocently and stuck her tongue out at him.
"I just wanted to see if you could improve the taste of this cream puff and trust me, you did." She had a thoughtful look on her face as she stared at the jar of chocolate spread sitting on her bedside table. He shook his head violently from side to side and shuffled away from the crazy person who had possessed his girlfriend.
"No Luce, no way. Get the hell away from me, that shit is sticky as hell." She let out a loud cackle as she grabbed the jar and lunged for Cobra. His screams could be heard for miles.
"Okay I am very angry with you right now." After the chocolate spread war, the pair had to shower and get changed into new clothes before they went out.
Fairy Tail was holding a welcome home party for Lucy and Cobra had to practically drag the celestial mage from her apartment. Her time spent with the Oracion Seis was a distant memory, thanks to Wendy. She had used her magic to heal Lucy's wounds and bruises.
Cobra would have used that to his advantage and had a bit of fun with Lucy but her first and only priority since she had returned was food and sleep, while he had been left in the background, waiting patiently for his turn.
It had been three days and he was still being neglected. Trying to mix him with food was one of the worst ideas Lucy could've come up with but it seemed to sate her appetite and she was back to normal. Or so it seemed.
"Don't be angry Erik, you tasted very yummy." She linked her hand with his and pressed her body against his. His anger slowly started to disappear at the warm feeling of her skin pressed against his. She was his only weak spot and he would never allow her to be exploited ever again.
Midnight was going to pay for all of this. One thing hadn't made sense to Cobra, why would Midnight allow Lucy to escape?
There was no way that Gajeel and Laxus would have gotten into the building without his knowing and he definitely wouldn't of let them escape with Lucy if he actually needed her which meant one thing.
Cobra gritted his teeth as he thought about his ex guild mate.
'He only kidnapped Lucy to piss me off. Well he's fucking succeeded at that.'
"Hey Erik, stop thinking about things that make you angry. You're practically growling. Down boy." She slapped his bum playfully and burst out laughing at his expression. He was staring down at her, a very sad look on his face.
"Why are you acting like this when there isn't a bed around ready to use? Dammit Luce you tease."
"Yo love birds!" Cobra covered his ear with his free hand and cringed at the loud voice shouting through the silent night. Lucy scowled and pointed at the figure at the end of the path they were walking down with their conjoined hands, trying to look menacing and failing miserably.
She was dressed in an adorable pink frilly dress and her hair was in pigtails. She looked cute as fuck and not scary at all.
"Pipe down asshole, we're having a moment." The person's voice got louder as he laughed and a wave of feedback echoed around them.
'That explains it, the idiot's got a megaphone. Where the hell did he get a megaphone.'
"Natsu, where the hell did you get a megaphone from?" Lucy stomped forwards, dragging Cobra behind her as she stalked her prey. He could hear Natsu fumbling with the megaphone as he tried to escape Lucy's wrath but in the end, she always got her man.
She squeezed Cobra's hand once and let go so she could pummel some sense into the fire dragon slayer.
"You idiot." She spoke through gritted teeth as she landed a kick on his chest, successfully knocking the wind from his chest. Cobra reached out to hold the fluttering material of her dress down so nobody could see what was for his eyes only.
"I'm sorry Luce, I found it in the bin outside the guild. It works fine and-" She punched his face sending him into the floor. "I don't want your excuses, just get rid of it."
She pressed the palm of her hand against her forehead and let out a long sigh. "Now I have a headache, well that's too bad, c'mon Erik let's go back to bed and pick up where we left off." Natsu thought she meant something sexual and cringed but Cobra knew that she just meant finish what she hadn't finished eating.
No way was he going back to that apartment, not when there were so many spreadable foods that she could smother him with. He shuddered at the thought.
"No baby." Cobra said in a sickly sweet voice, gently pushing Lucy in the direction of the guild hall and past the dazed Natsu. "We're going to this party, you will socialize with your friends while I hide in the corner and you will enjoy yourself."
She groaned but allowed herself to be led to the open doors of the guild where all of Fairy Tail were waiting for her arrival.
Not that they noticed she was there. Cobra clocked onto two things. The guild was a shit hole and everybody was so drunk that they didn't even realize that their guest of honor had arrived.
"These people." Cobra mumbled as he shook his head in disbelief. Mira was rushing to get everyone's orders so she didn't see the pair arrive, nobody else had an excuse.
"Hey assholes, Lucy's here. Get off your asses." Cobra's voice shook everyone out of their drunken stupor, and they rushed towards her.
He tried to slip away before the hordes reached them but Lucy's hand held him in a death like grip. An evil glint twinkled in her eyes as she yanked him back to her side.
"Oh hell no baby, we're in this together. Where I go, you go." She pressed a quick kiss against his cheek and greeted all of her friends with a very displeased Cobra stuck to her side.
"It's so damn loud in here, I can't think. I can just hear other people thinking." Cobra had tried to escape many times but Lucy had pulled him back by the tip of his pointy ear.
"If you can make it another hour, I'll definitely make it worth your while." The sultry look in her eyes caught his attention, he was interested now.
"Oh yeah." He said gruffly, a small smile on his face. "Go on then, one more hour."
They were there for three and Lucy was too drunk to go through with any of the plans that she had promised. After saying goodbye to any of the mages that were still conscious, Cobra carried Lucy home as she sung for him. Not her soul but actually her. She was singing about snakes and some other bullshit.
"We're going back to mine Luce, your bed is full of crumbs and food. You know how dirt makes me feel."
That would definitely be the cherry on top of a shittastic night.
"We have to go back." Lucy mumbled against his chest. He rolled his eye and picked up the pace. "Hell no. We are not going back to the guild. Everyone's done for the night and so are you so we're going straight to bed. No sympathy for you in the morning when you're hugging the toilet."
"We have to go back for her." Cobra frowned in confusion. "What?" She clawed at his shirt and pulled her head up to gaze at him, her eyes were full of tears. He screeched to a stop and gently placed her back onto her feet.
"Lucy? What the hell is wrong? Don't cry, I'm sorry. We can go back if-"
"No!" Lucy shouted, shaking her head from side to side. "We have to save her, Angel. We can't leave her Erik, promise me. We'll go back for her."
'She's still thinking about that bitch?'
He wiped her hair out of her face and caressed her soft skin.
"Luce, let her rot. She'll get what she deserves, nothing less." A sharp slap across the face shut him up.
Looking fully sober now, Lucy stood tall in front of Cobra, her eyes burning holes through his. "We will return for her, she isn't the same as she once was Erik and she doesn't deserve to be dragged down with those putrid excuses for human beings. You changed, why can't she?"
He had her there. Picking her back up bridal style, he marched them towards his apartment. "Alright fine but not yet. I want to have a good night's sleep with my girlfriend, without being surrounded by half eaten food."
