Hello! Aiming to post longer chapters. They won't pop up as frequent but I want to write more and make corrections and changes. Thanks!

Lucy POV

"YOU IDOIT! Was that necessary???" I asked my rage fuming.

"Luce it wasn't my fault that guy he was-"

"I don't care what he was doing, we're on a mission stop drawing such unnecessary attention to us Natsu! First I'm worried you're going to all out brawl with Akio then you nearly broke that other man's arm.."

"You would have too if you... never mind yeah fine whatever I'm going to the hot spring." Natsu said, "if you're so worried about everyone go check on them. I'm sure Akio would love that" he said his tone sharp

Ouch... wait is he jealous??? Natsu doesn't get jealous or have those kinds of feelings .

"Natsu it's not like that and you know it. What's wrong with you? I hate to say this but you're acting jealous. Which I know is impossible because you don't feel like I-" covering my mouth I spun around and went the other way, not finishing my sentence for fear of the rejection that would follow confirming his Inability to harbor any emotion greater than loving his Nakama. Tears stung my eyes as I slammed the door.

No one POV

"Jealous??? I'm jealous??? The fuck I'm jealous. What is there to be jealous of? Some asshat? No, it's not jealousy. If I were jealous, that would mean I would have to feel threatened by these losers. Please. They all stink of arousal around her. Looking, gawking at her body. If anything she should wear more clothing. I'm not jealous of anything I'm just fucking pissed with their vulgar actions.." said the angry dragon slayer. Pondering on her last words he stopped pacing.

'Which is impossible because you don't feel like I-"

Natsu, though being dense was not blind to the blonde mages emotions. He had speculated for a while their bond had changed in her eyes. It's been changing. From the magic games, Tartaros , ENDand Zeref. Lucy had been with him through everything. As a kid sure, he and Lisanna played house, but he never saw her as being his actual wife. When he thought she had died any feels he may or may not have possessed went with her. When the celestial mage showed up, his goal was first and foremost most protecting her. Not having a repeat of what happened to Lisannaalways fueled his efforts. He's always saved her, found her when she needed him. So what is their bond now? Friends? Yes. Partners? Of course. Nakama? Absolutely.Why he hasn't reciprocatedher emotions isn't even a question because he has, even if he doesn't know it. He always thinks of her first. Losing Igneel was the hardest thing to go through, but he did it with her. Maybe he's known for awhile now that he's loved heror perhaps he just isn't aware of the type of love he possesses. It very well could go beyond the confines of friends and Nakama.

"Tch", clicking his tongue he took off his clothes and dipped in the hot spring, "Luce what are you doing to me. " he sighed leaning back against the stone.

Meanwhile...

"Baka Natsu..." she said as she sniffled from the cold night air and her own tears, clutching her legs closer to her chest. Loving him has grown to be painful these last few months. Loving someone who doesn't reciprocate can take a toll on even the most resilient heart. Most days she wishes she could see him just as Nakama, but then he does little things. Hugs her, smiles that toothy grin, or like today the kiss he placed on her forehead. Each instance throws her heart through a hurricane while it is enjoyable some days, others... well she tries to distance herself.

"Why are you crying?" A voice said.

Looking up Lucy saw a man dressed in a long dark cloak.His face covered but sinister dark aura seemed to radiate from him.

"Who are you? Show yourself" Lucy demanded.

"Now now, no need to be hasty, I'm just talking to you blondie.... " his grin becoming visible In the light of the moon.

Reaching for her keys, realization hit her, I left them In the room... Suddenly, Purple tendrils shot from the sand grasping her legs and arms hoisting her in the air as one slowly tightened around her neck.

Natsu...she thought.

"So you're the one taking people? What do you want?" She demanded.

"Taking people?? Oh dear no, I'm not the one doing that, well I am but not really." He grinned slipping his hood off. There standing before her was a tall man. His hair white and eyes blue looked surreal, "oh no no no. I'm simply the one who marks those deemed for the masters purpose. And You my dear," closing his eyes he breathed in deeply as he ran one finger down my cheek and neck then between my breasts, " you feel powerful indeed. The master will be pleased with you."

"Tell me who you are! Who is you master?" she said coughing trying to breathe.

"You'll know soon enough blondie, but before you sleep, why were you crying? Was it a boy? Perhaps that pink haired Oaf?" He grinned, "He doesn't love you back does he? Pity, seems a waste to not enjoy your body as he has you so close." He said as another tendril crept up her thigh

"Stop... please" she choked out.

"Stop???? Oh but why? You're life will be over soon enough anyway. Why not have a bit of fun with me first, you are so enticing..." he snarled tilting his head the moonlight making his eyes glow an ominous blue.

"Solid Script: Iron! Go Gajeel! Get Lucy!"

"Giihii, that's for the meal shrimp"

Levy and Gajeel were both running down the beach.

"Stop running shrimp I got this! Though I'm wondering where dumbass fire breath is." Gajeel said springing towards Lucy crunching on Levy's magic. "Iron Dragon Roar!!!!!!" He yelled, sending the black spiraling magic directly at the man serving the tendrils. Lucy fell to the ground unconscious.

"One moment blondie, this will only take a second." He said turning to Gajeel in a low dark voice, "Soul Render. Darkness Flame". In a flash of black, purple flames shot out towards Gajeel engulfing him.

"Gajeel!" Levy screamed.

Jumping up Gajeel freed himself from the flames, but tendrils shot out from them locking around his arms dragging the fire too him once more. "Iron Dragon...sword!" Using his other arm he slashed the tendrils.

"Oh Ho, fancy. Listen, I'd love to stay and play but my master is waiting.. besides however will you pry her away from me when your to busy saving her.. "He said putting his finger to is chin and grinning turning away from Gajeel.

"Ja nē" (meaning well then)

"Levy!"

"Gajeel"

Gajeel saw tendrils shoot from the ground grabbing her by the ankles and hoisting her way in the air over sharp rocks and the sea.

"Gajeel... the baby..." she pleaded holding her stomach.

"NATTTTTSUUUUUUUU" Gajeel yelled as he ran towards Levy.

"Iron Dragon scales!" He screamed, as metal plates formed over his body. He sprinted towards the rocks. The tendrils creaked and snapped releasing Levy.

"Solid Script: Wool!" She yelled, as the wool word landed on the rocks. But the ocean dampened it's fluffy form becoming wet no longer providing her with a cushion to land on. Clutching her stomach she fell into something cold and hard yet soft at the same time.

"I got you shrimp, both of you." He said as the rocks behind him crashed into his back.

"Gajeel...Lucy what do we do.." Levy said looking back at the shore line.

"We find Natsu... honeymoons over huh?" Gajeel said.

"Looks like it. Our friends need us." She said smiling.

Natsu POV

"NNNAAATTSUUUUUU" the sound of my name jolted me awake.

"Gajeel?" I said sitting up, "why is he here". Standing, I exited the hot spring got dressed and headed out of our suite. "She didn't take her keys..." I said looking at our dresser. Grabbing them, I put them in my pocket and headed to find Gajeel.

"I'm sorry Natsu we tried.." Levy said sniffling as Gajeel wrapped towels around her to keep her warm.

"Oiii flame brain, heat this room up would you? I'd rather not have her and my baby freeze to death." He barked.

"What do you mean you tried... wait wait, BABY?!?!" I said realizing his words. I walked over to Levy and let heat radiate off me. Her chattering stopped.

"Where is Lucy and what do you mean you tried..." I asked looking at him.

"We saw her on the beach, she was crying and a strange man approached her, he started talking about you then being deemed for the master. He trapped in in his magic, touched her face and chest. We ran to save her but...He took her Natsu.. I couldn't stop him. He went after Levy and the baby. I'm sorry." He said.

My magic roared. "You let him take her?" I asked.

"Natsu he was going to kill Levy and our child I had to go for Levy." Gajeel said, "more importantly where were you? Why was Lucy out here crying over your ass anyway?"

Crying? Over me?

"We had... I don't know To be honest. She got angry with me because all these men approached her smelling like arousal and booze and all I did was stop them. They stared at her like she was something to eat. This is a couples resort, she is MY wife, why are they even trying." I Seethed, "so what I almost beat Akio to a pulp, he touched her. So what I about broke another dudes arm. He trying to grab her ass. Fuck them for messing with my wife".

"Natsu, isn't this just a mission?" Levy asked with a small grin, "or do you truly see Lucy as your wife and love her?"

"Geehee, Salamander is in love" Gajeel said.

The shock of what she said shook me. The earth started to spin a little. I love her??? Now is not the time to figure this out. Clenching my fists and gaining my balance I spoke, "who took MY wife..." as flames engulfed my them, "I'm coming... Luce."

Suddenly a flash of gold light erupted from my pocket.

"REGULUS... IMPACT!"

Blinding gold light came flying in my direction.

"Loki" I said blocking his attack.

"Where is my master Natsu?" Loki said straightening his jacket. "You let someone take her from you??? And here I thought it'd be me to steal Lucy from you."

"Fuck off lion." I said crossing my arms, "if it's a fight you want, you'll get one."

"Gajeel... do something" Levy demanded still bundled in towels. "Ahhh-choo" she sneaked. All eyes then looked at her.

"Maybe you should go inside Levy on account of the baby and it's cold and all." I said.

"Baby??? You knocked up Levy??? Dumbass Lucy loves you and you knock up her friend?!?! I'll kill you-" Loki growled his fists lighting up.

"Can it sparkles" Gajeel said whacking Loki in the back of the head with his iron first, "the baby is mine not Salamanders, how dare insult my unborn child".

"Yeah! Wait how is that an insult-" WHACK!My head rang as his fist hit my head too. "Okay rust bucket let's go!"

"Shut it, if the two of you could calm down for two seconds we could come up with a plan to save bunny girl." He said closing his eyes and crossing his arms. "Go inside Levy. I'll return your friend. You can count on me" he said leaning over and giving her a kiss. "Keep the door locked I'll be up later."

Mine and Loki's eyes went wide. Gajeel... he's being sweet... Loki was first to break, "so you and the small Fry huh? Can't say I'm surprised. Since when?"

"Acnologia? Maybe even a little before.. not the point" Gajeel said. "We need to find buddy girl. The guy that took her said he only marks individuals for the master but he flat out took her. I feel like she's in more danger because of that. He said he wanted them to 'have fun first' ".

"If that fucker touches MY wife... I'll kill him." Natsu said in growl. "Show me where he was"

"Wife?" Loki said.

Gajeel glanced at him giving him a look, "don't ask just accept it."

Loki smiled, "About time..."

"Let's go... I'm all fired up now." I said.

I'm coming Luce...
