Chapter 14 – Staying awake

"I was spinning free (wha oh-oh-oh-oh), With a little sweet and simple numbing me"Jimmy eat wolrd– Sweetness

"You're going to be gone for a week? Fucking lucky!" Hibiki replies as he takes a sweet from Lucy.

"Just going on the R1 assault rifle course Zeref went on." Laxus replies with a huge smile on his face. "And it's like a 4 hours' drive away from here. I am counting on Natsu and Zeref to look after Lucy that week." I raise my brow. If only he knew how good I would take care of her.

"That is one long ass drive." I say as I also take a sweet from Lucy. It was something she carried with her frequently. And she would always feed us her sweets that she had an endless supply of.

"One you will be making twice." Laxus says as a matter of fact and I raise a brow.

"What?" I ask and at this Lucy giggles.

"Laxus is actually leaving his car for me and you are driving him to and fetching him from." Lucy replies with a smile on her face, eyeing me.

"Joking right?" I ask as I raise a brow.

"No you leave Monday morning at 4 AM. Mavis already approved that you and Jellal drive." Lucy replies and at this I sigh, I was not in the mood to drive that far.

"Well at least you're lucky enough to be sent on a course." Hibiki replies as he takes another sweet from Lucy. Just then, Zeref walks in to the office and he nods his greeting to us all.

"Guys do you think this COVID-19 shit is for real?" he asks taking a seat on Erza's seat. COVID-19 had become a worldwide pandemic and it was starting to hit home. It had basically gotten to the point where our President wanted to declare a National Lockdown.

"I mean it's as real as the black plague." Hibiki replies shaking his head from side to side. It had taken almost three months to fully circulate in our country and for the infection rate to rise to the point where a National Lockdown would be declared.

"I doubt they would still send me on the course if it was as serious." Laxus replies like he had no care in the world and this might all just be a myth because he was never one to get sick or book of sick. His immune system was as strong as you could get. But no one would know how serious things could get by a mere week.

"I think everything will be fine." Lucy replies as she casually combs through her hair and smiles to all of us. She just didn't know what was about to happen and how 'not' fine things were going to get not only here but all over the world.

"Tonight, Out on the street, out in the moonlight and, Damn it, this feels too right, It's just like dèja vu, Me stand' here with you"Nickel Back – Gotta Be Somebody

The President has declared that a national lockdown will start on Friday 27 March and will continue for 21 days. A level 5 lockdown will entail ever person to wear their personal protective gear, only emergency services will be seen as essential workers and inter Provincial travel will be banned and only persons with permits will be permitted to leave their homes if not for essential purposes.

It came as a shock when it was announced. I didn't believe at first but soon Lucy had separated all the operational members into shifts which would be standing roadblocks at the Provincial boarder to ensure no illegal traveling between Provinces. We would commence 18:00 on the Thursday.

Lucy ensure each person who needed to be at work received a permit to travel but there was another problem she soon faced. And we needed to sort it out before we couldn't do anything about it.

"I spoke to the instructor he said I can remain on and join the training for the Special Task Force." I overheard as Lucy spoke to Laxus over speakerphone.

"Don't be crazy, you need to come back." Lucy said as she stared at her phone in disbelief.

"This course finishes on Friday and if I don't stay I will fail." Laxus replies and to this Lucy shakes her head. He would actually stay just not to fail a course. That was pathetic. If he did stay he would remain there for the remainder of the lockdown.

"It's a National Lockdown, you won't be able to come home. Do you understand that?" she asks into the phone and then she types away on her computer.

"It's okay. It will only be 21 days." Laxus says like it doesn't even matter that he would be leaving his girlfriend behind for 21 days and there was full potential that the number of lockdown days would be increased. I could see she was upset, I would be an idiot to not see it and this was the first time I actually saw her show this much emotion toward Laxus

"If that's what you want then okay." Lucy replies, as she looks to me, a frown on her beautiful face.

"I will call you later?" he says into the phone and she just nods her head knowing he can't see her. She was visibly upset, something she never ever displayed towards Laxus. This actually made me believe she was in a relationship with him. She pushes her phone to the side and then looks at me as the call ends.

"It's like it doesn't matter to him." She states and she doesn't even look at me.

"I think he is only thinking this is the best option. If we go fetch him we would need to do it tomorrow." She looks up and narrows her eyes.

"I guess." I didn't know what to say to her because there was nothing left to be said because I couldn't comfort her. "I'll bring you some lunch a bit later?" I say and I rise to my feet as I give her one last glance and slowly leave.

I drove with Zeref for most of the day. It finally set in Lucy was dating Laxus and she did care for him in a romantic capacity. And when lunch time came I bought Lucy a burger and fries, hoping that she had calmed down. Which I highly doubted.

As I walked into her office, she smiles at me. I frown but smile back, she looked like a woman that just made a life altering decision. "You seem to be in a better mood." I say as I place the food in front of her.

"Natsu…." She says like a cat the just stole the cream. I raise a brow, what was this woman planning on doing.

"Yes?" I ask taking a seat and placing my food in front of me. As I was about to eat as well. I watch as she keeps her eyes trained on me as I move. "What?" I ask and she smiles again.

"I need you to come to work tomorrow early." She starts and I raise a brow motioning for her to continue. "At 4." She says and now she seems a bit shy. I raise a brow because what was she getting at.

"Why at 4?" I ask as I open the wrapper for my burger and take it into my hands just about to eat it. Just before taking the first bite my eyes meet hers. "Am I going to go fetch him?" I ask already thinking that would be the main reason why I was going to get out of bed that early.

"Something like that…" She continues to hold my stare as I patiently wait for her to continue with what she was saying. "You and Jellal will be driving from here at around 5:15 or 5:30." She states and at this I raise a brow again.

"So why should I come an hour earlier?" I ask now bringing the burger to my mouth and taking a bite from it. I watch as her cheeks go bright red and I continue to watch her because what was she getting at, and why would she let me come in a whole hour earlier.

"Cause I am asking you to." She continues and she looks so adorable as she continues to blush, but still I don't get it.

"Fine. You owe me for doing this." I say as I take another bite from my burger. But at least she was going to have Laxus back before the lockdown embarked. And that was all that mattered right?

I wait for the gate to open and I look around, even with all the lights on, the police station still looked super dark as I drove in. I drive to my normal parking spot and soon I see Laxus' car parked, and as soon as I park I watch as Lucy gets out of the car. She looks from side to side then she pulls her handbag closer as she nods towards me. She closes the door and soon she is walking into the office but she is going through the back door. For a moment I just sit in my car and frown, not too sure what the fuck was going on. Was she maybe going to drive with us to go and fetch her boyfriend? Was that why she was here so early?

I open my door and get out of my car. Adjusting my belt and firearm as I close the door and lock the car. I look from one side to the other and it was completely vacant as I look around. I take a deep breath and then I follow the blonde into her office building, the lights wasn't even switched on. But I knew my way around the office from working here way too long.

As soon as I get into the hallway to her office I see the light is on and I walk towards the doorway. "Luce?" I call out but there is no sound or indication that there is anyone in the office. I tilt my head to the side and move forward until I enter the office and there she stands in front of her desk almost leaning against it.

She was wearing a dress that was flattering to her form but dress code appropriate. With this dress she wore black boots and her hair was down her back. She looks up to me as I walk into the office and she smiles devilishly.

"Hey Lucy." I say a bit louder than I think I should and she narrows her eyes but she smiles. So as I stand in the door frame I keep my eyes on her, I am watching her every move, so when she pushes off of her desk, she takes a few steps towards me and then she places one hand on me and she slightly pulls me forward towards her. Her other hand reaching for her door behind me as she pushes it shut.

I don't think I understand or know what the fuck is currently happening but I move even though I feel stiff. As soon as the door is closed I hear a click and then I finally look away from the blonde and turn my head to look at the door which is now closed and she seemed to have locked it. I look back to her a bit surprised and she continues to smile towards me. I have so many questions that I want to ask. But I can't form the words.

"I suggest we don't make much noise." She slightly whispers and then her hand is no longer on me as she takes a step back and then she slightly bends down until she stands back up and then slowly takes a few steps back, in her hand is a small piece of red material she moves back to the desk and then she is leaning against it again.

"What?" I ask as I continue to look at her not sure what the fuck is going on, I think I might know but my mind does not want to comprehend what the hell is going on. She moves again and now she is half sitting on her desk, and she is still wearing that smile. She slightly opens her legs and then rises one booted foot to me…

"Don't just stand there Dragneel… I thought you wanted this…" She licks her lips as she says this, biting her lower lip and pulling it into her mouth lightly sucking at it. I look to her lips and then to her leg and it looks so smooth and soft. I reach forward, taking a few quick steps until I am in front of her, between her legs. Her arms soon wrap around me and then I feel her lips on mine. She tasted sweet as I kissed her, taking full advantage of this as I place an arm around her pulling her closer to me.

My other hand moves on it's own accord and I first place it on her knee and then it just touches higher, her skin seems to be on fire, each inch I touch feels like it's setting me alight. And soon her dress is moved up and my hand goes underneath it to her thigh and it stays there, because I can't get myself to move again, feeling her against me, kissing her has gotten me rock hard and it was almost painful as my cock is restrained within my uniform. I feel her tongue as it wages a war against my own, and I feel like I just can't get enough of her, her taste, her feel. God this was… This was happening.

I think she could feel my erection rubbing against her. When she lets me go for air she looks up to me, her eyes meet mine and I can't say I have ever seen a woman that had this must need and lust in her eyes, and it fuelled me on because I was the reason for that look in her eyes. I feel her hand on mine and soon she is moving my hand from her thigh higher and to the honeypot between her legs.

"Fuck…" Did I say that out loud? She was so smooth and wet, she was basically a dripping mess as I run my fingertip over her lips and then I dip a finger into those lips and she is soo soft and smooth. She was basically heaven. A dream come true. She presses against me again with her chest, there is this light pink hue on her cheeks, and a hungry look in her eyes. She nibbles at her bottom lip and I can't seem to take my eyes off her as I watch her face, I memorise it. How when I swipe over her bundle of nerves she closes her eyes and a wave of shivers run over her frame, her legs slightly quivering and clenching at the same time. I lean in again and kiss her but I keep my eyes open as she leans into the kiss, and she is so willing as she sweeps her tongue over my lips and then she pours her soul into her kiss. Like it is some kind of sweet surrender

A moan escapes her throat but I catch it in my mouth with the kiss. When she pushes me away and she almost gasps for air her eyes lock with mine. I am lost in those eyes as she stares into my soul. Her hands are swift and able as she reaches for my belt, and soon she has her fingers on my zipper pulling at it. She moves forward as she pushes herself off the table. Soon she is tugging at my pants and then my underwear and when that hits the floor with a hard thud, my erection is free from its constraints, she shyly reaches towards me, grasping my dick in her soft yet trembling hands. She strokes it up and down a few times and as she is about to get on her knees I stop her.

She looks up at me questionably, her eyes full of wonder. When I looked into her eyes, it was like seeing the galaxy within them. "You don't want me to suck?" she shyly asks and her voice is above a whisper and I can see that she is panting softly.

I smile but shake my head because if she was going to place her lips on my cock, I was going to blow in that sweet little mouth of hers. And I did not want that to happen so fast. "No." I say as I push her back against her table this time grabbing at her leg and hoisting it up over my hip, moving closer and closer to her. I push against her, my dick rubbing against those wet lips of her and God I was ready to dive deep into that pussy. "You want me to get a condom?" I half ask as I continue to rub against her wet lips. There is a small moan that leave her lips and then she looks up to me and smirks.

"That's up to you… But I do faintly remember you once mentioning in passing that if you take me, you were not going to wrap it up…" Her voice is husky and it rang in my ear. I might have mentioned this, or said this, but it had somehow gotten lost in my mind full of memories that were now being re-written with moment with Lucy. I wanted to feel her, and I wanted to feel every inch of her. The hue on her cheeks go from pink to red and then she looks down... "But that is up to you..." she trails off.

I grab her mouth with mine as I kiss her, my hand making its way in between us as I place my tip at her entrance. And I trust into that soft, smooth, wet pussy. I catch her moan or was it a groan, or was it a yelp… I kissed her so hard that I think her lips might be swollen by the end of this. I grip her by her hips making sure her one leg is still hooked over my hip as I savour the first few seconds that I am inside of her. God she was so fucking tight but so wet. I really didn't expect her to be this tight. She throws an arm around me and pulls me flush against her small frame.

I pull out slowly a small amount and then thrust into her harder than before. Another moan escapes her throat as I continue and soon set a fast pace of moving against her. Once both her legs are hooked over my hips I don't care anymore, I just keep on thrusting into her sweetness. She was so soft, and so slick and smooth. I was not going to last long and I know this as I continue to feel her lips move against mine. I was relentless in my movement but she met every and each thrust.

There would be no switching things up on this early morning, there would be no different positions as I continue to move within her, her legs almost like a vice grip as she keeps them wrapped around me. She kept me in bound.

And just as I think she is about to cum and her walls tighten around my hard cock I keep thrusting, even fasted, even harder. Maybe I was being too hard on her but it didn't matter. I remove my lips from her and then I look at her as she has this hazy look in her eyes. Like she was dazed. She moves slightly, it seems fast but it's slow, she moves some of the things on the table and soon her back is against the table with her ass on the edge of the table and I bury my cock deep within her. I see her twitch, I see her grip and I see how her eyes roll back into her skull as I continue to move against her.

She is fighting back the urge to make sounds that I am sure of. But as she laid there, it was a sight to see, she seemed defenceless as she laid there. I look to where I slide my think hard cock into her pussy and it seems like my movements have reached their peak as I push into her, seeing our bodies connect, this was surely heaven right?

She has me trapped between her thighs as she grips the table and it's like she locks into a vice grip as I feel the true and full potential of her orgasm hitting her. She moans softly as her eyes roll back into her skull once more. I would be a liar if I said I didn't want this, I would give everything up just to have this with her. I memorize how she is sprawled on the table, she is containing me in her vice grip as I thrust into her and I feel my balls are tensing and I just couldn't hold back, and even if I wanted to, this wasn't a choice. Her pussy tightens around my dick as I give another thrust into her warmth and God does it feel good. I feel joy and happiness and pleasure and God knows what else as I reach my peak and I cum in that glorious pussy that belongs to no one else but Lucy Heartfelia.

I almost slump over her small frame as I place my hand next to her head supporting my weight over her and I look down at her as she shyly smiles to me. Those eyes… those swollen lips, they told a tale that no one will ever know. I huff a breath and to be honest I didn't notice that I was actually panting this whole while. I guess the bliss and pleasure from this mind-blowing sex made me forget simple things. I huff another breath and then I see her reach her small hands up to her chest as she laid there on the table. I smirk as I somehow gather some power within myself to pull myself up and from the blonde beauty. I almost feel sad disconnecting from her as I take a step back and I did take a glance at that glorious little pussy as a small shiver runs down my spine.

"Wow…" that was the only thing I could say. The pink hue has been replaced by the red blush as she just continues to lay there, once I am out from between her legs she closes the gates to heaven but she continues to just lay there. "I'm going to freshen up…" I say as I don't know where to look, because if I looked at her I blushed. She just nods her head and I just lightly bend over, grabbing for my pants, and belt and my firearm, which had also fallen to the floor. I turn and move to the door opening the lock then opening the door an inch to look down the hall, when I am sure there is no one I leave and sneak into the females' bathroom.

I close the door as I move to the basin and I look to the mirror. I look back at myself and I seem, so happy, so carefree, I had a post sex glow for fuck sake. I was smiling at myself like a fucking moron and I almost fist pumped myself in the mirror. Today would go down in the books as the best day of my life. No offence to my son and wife. But I just couldn't explain how I felt, or what I felt. I just smiled like a foolish moron. Once I have freshened up and I am back to being fully dressed in my uniform I make my way back to Lucy's office. She is sitting on her chair, that red blush still on her cheeks.

I almost chuckle as I take a step closer to her and she looks to me, was she getting even redder? She was adorable. Her personality in itself was something else, completely something else. I loved it. "You ok?" I ask and she looks down to her lap. She reaches out her hand and I frown as I look to her but I take a step closer and take her hand, which she uses as support as she rises to her feet. I frown as I place a hand on her back keeping her upright.

"I am weak in my knees…" She whispers this and I want to burst out laughing because what did she just say? I fucked her so good that she is weak in the knees? I let a chuckle leave my lips because I know the feeling because that was how I felt after she gave me the best damn blowjob ever. I pull her closer to me as I try and help her from her chair to the bathroom which she shuts in my face, her face a bright red right now. I chuckle again as I step back into her office, looking around casually to see if something was out of place or was there evidence which was left anywhere?

I shift some pages on her table and pull it straight as I look to the floor and on the floor is her handbag and her red panties are spying at me from inside. I laugh as I bend down and I take the small article of clothing into my hands. I look at it from side to side, some lace red boy shorts; she definitely had good taste in underwear. I hear the door to the bathroom open and soon I see her stumbling somewhat into the office and I turn around to face her, and as soon as she sees what is in my hands her eyes go wide as she grabs at it and then she is out of the office and into the bathroom again. I chuckle again. How could she have been so tempting just now when she initiated sex and now she was as shy as a … I don't even know. I shake my head again and look from side to side, as I take a deep breath, this office actually smelled like sex now. I wait patiently for her to leave the bathroom, still a bit unstable on her feet and I smirk as I reach towards her but she denies me this time.

She walks into the office and looks around for her handbag and then she bends down and picks something from it before she turns to me. She doesn't meet my gaze but she looks at me, she was so shy right now, it made me wonder did I just fuck the same girl?

"Let's go get coffee…," she mumbles under her breath and then I frown as I look to her but nod my head. She turns and I motion for her to lead the way, she was still unstable on those feet so if she crumbled I wanted to be there to pick her up. Once she is out of the office, I close the door and lock it and then I follow her as she slowly walks in of me. And I just couldn't believe that it had finally happened. It was amazing, most likely, the best fucking sex I have ever had. I take a deep breath and smile, as I was a man at the highest point of his life. I was so happy.

As we get to the front office, I stop and look for the truck keys and I soon find them, Lucy was now outside waiting for me. Before I go to the truck I move to my car and I get my packet of cigarette which I left when I arrived and right now, after that round of sex I needed a smoke, like super bad.

I unlock the car and soon I am in the truck in the driver's side. Lucy takes her time as she open the door then her eyes meet mine and she blushes again as she tries to get into the truck, and she is so cute on how she struggles but soon she is in the passenger's seat and she closes the door. I look to her and give a goofy smile as I place the keys in the ignition and start the truck. I start to reverse and soon we are at the gate of the station and I put on my indicator.

"So…" I start as I smile to Lucy and she just shakes her head, she keeps on blushing.

"Soo?" she asks her eyes meeting mine and I chuckle.

"Was it ok?" I ask and at this she goes beet red again. It must have been good… or she is blushing because she feels sorry and she is disappointed. The smile falls from my lips as I look to her again.

"Better than I expected." She says and at this, the smile returns and I swear I was permanently beaming. "Well done Dragneel." She says and I just chuckle as I continue to drive.

"You were tighter than I expected. You sure you weren't a virgin?" I ask and her eyes go wide as she turns to slap me. "And you were so fucking wet." At this she just grows more red.

"Shut-up!" she almost yells, tilting her head as she gives me a look, which says, 'are you being serious right now?'

"It's a compliment. It was pretty good…" I say and she slaps me again.

"You were pretty good too." She mutters and she giggles as she looks down to her purse on her lap. "I really enjoyed it…," she says softly and then she looks to me, a smile on her face.

"So, something that might occur again?" I ask in hopes that she would agree, but I think she would. She nods her head and then turns from me and looks out of the window.

We picked up a quick coffee and went back to the station; she disappeared to the main building for a bit before she came back and drank her coffee. We eagerly waited for Jellal to arrive and strangely, he was there just on time. If I knew, what she had planned this morning I would have willingly gone with her and did it. But how she acted strange had me wondering. What was going through her head?

I could not wipe off the smile I had as we drove to Laxus, and nothing would take this stupid goofy grin from my face. Even as I sat listening to Jellal speak complete and utter bullshit for 04 hours I was un-phased. But as soon as we stopped at the training institution and I saw Laxus I toned down my smile and got out of the car to help him pack his shit into the truck. Jellal deciding to sit in the back and Laxus taking the seat that his girlfriend had sat on earlier.

"I can't believe a week went by so fast." Laxus says as I start the vehicle and make our trip back.

"At least you get to come back in time." Jellal states from the back and Laxus looks to him with a smile.

"Someone seriously had to pull some strings to make it happen, because we passed the course and we get to go home the day before, we were actually even a day out with training." Laxus states opening up the window as I place a cigarette to my lips, which feels sensitive… I am sure Lucy had swollen lips and other sensitive parts to her as well, I catch myself smirking at that but then I am brought back to the matter at hand. He was right someone had to pull some serious strings to get this done.

"Maybe they just saw what's going on and pre-planned." I say and at this Laxus laughs because the police, pre-plan? That is a joke.

"You're girl Lucy has some serious connections Lax." Jellal says and we both look to him in wonder. "She went out of her way to get you back home Lax. I hope you thank her." At this Laxus just chuckles because I can see he doesn't believe that for one second. But I had faith in Miss Heartfelia. She kept her promises and she came through. And I was pretty sure she would keep all her promises.

"I just want to get home right now. I am stupid tired." I hear Laxus say as he reclines in the truck seat.

"So you are not going to go over to Lucy?" I find myself asking and he just shakes his head from side to side. I half could not believe him and half wanted to believe him, I didn't want him anywhere near Lucy today after what we had done just this morning. I take a deep breath as then just continue to drive.

"The cycle repeated, As explosions broke in the sky, All that I needed, Was the one thing I couldn't find" Linkin Park – Burn it down

She was there when I reported for duty at 04:30 AM or 16:30 PM and she would be there when I reported off duty at 07:30 AM or 19:30 PM and she would greet me with open arms each time I would see her, she would hand me a chocolate every time I reported for duty. I think the best moments was reporting off duty and getting to just talk shit with Lucy for another hour or so. We were all split into five different groups and our shifts were strange. I would work my day shift and have two days off and then work my night shift to only be off for a day and work my next day shift.

I was on group 3, Laxus was with Zeref on group 4 and Jellal and Hibiki was on group 5. So we only saw each other when we relieved each other's shifts. It was effortless to be honest. At least we were getting more money for these shitty hours we were working. But I felt bad for Lucy, From 17 March up until the end of August she worked every day. And I meant every single day, she put in more overtime but wasn't compensated in cash if you understand what I mean. She did this because she was young and healthy and thought she kept her other co-workers out of risk. There was just three people working at the station right now, not including the detectives and the Client Service Centre. Those people proved that they could run a station without incident.

One of the most stupid decision that was made was the regulation that no liquor may be sold or transported. And shortly after that the sale of tobacco products was against the law, which I found completely unconstitutional. I found myself in a position where I didn't know what to do. The no drinking was not a problem, but the no smoking? What bullshit was this?

I look to my watch and sigh I still had another few minutes of this shift. We were already waiting for Laxus' team to relief us. Today was one of those busy days and standing on your feet for a full 12 hours really caught up to you. I pull of another driver and ask them to roll down their window.

"Hi sir, where are you travelling to today?" I ask as I look to the male in the driver side, the vehicle completely empty besides for him.

"Evening officer. I am actually on my way home from work." The man says as he pulls out his permit that permits him to travel in and out of the Province for business purposes. I take the piece of paper from the man and he also hands me his identification document, I look to the ID and then to the permit and nod my head as I scribe down his particulars on my note pad. "How long do you suspect this lockdown will be?" the man asks and I look to him sighing.

"I honestly don't know." I reply as I hand him back his permit and ID document. "It's been three weeks, and they already extended it." I reply and this time the man sighs as he nods his head and takes his documents.

"I admire you woman and men in blue for doing this. You guys must really be overworked." He says with a sympathetic smile and I just nod my head at him. I was tired and I just wanted this day done and over with.

"Thank you sir." I say.

"How long do you thing this tobacco and liquor ban will be?" he asks and at this I shake my head because I wasn't sure at all.

"Not sure." I reply looking down at my boots, they were dirty and collected a lot of dust today.

"It's pathetic to be honest. I can understand the liquor but why ban cigarettes? Is there proof that it's the cause of the COVID-19 cases rising." At this I just chuckle and shake my head from side to side. I took it he was also a smoker and he shared my frustration.

"I know. It's bullshit. But sir have a wonderful night and drive safe." I say as I give him the go-ahead to continue his journey and he gives me another smile as he starts his vehicle and starts to drive off.

"Natsu," I hear my name as I look to the spot where our tent was. Zeref calling to me. So our relief came, time to head home. I nod my head as I see Laxus waving to me and then Aries who smiles to me. I turn on my heel and start to make my way towards the tent where we kept our stuff and quickly hand Jellal my clipboard with my notebook and reach for my backpack.

"Busy day?" Aries asks as she takes a seat and she prepares to do handing over.

"Yeah. You can say that again." I say as I greet the Captains. "I just want to get home and sleep." I say and at this Aries smiles and nods her head. It was actually good to see her working outside.

"Did you guys sanitize the toilets yet?" I hear Laxus call and I turn to face him shaking my head. Today we had more than 5000 vehicles and trucks so no we didn't get time to do it.

"No, sorry Lax." I say as he moves into the tent and he takes the sanitizer. He just nods his head and then continues on his way. I move to the bus and open the side door and to my surprise I am met by the beautiful Lucy lounging on the front seat. "Hey Luce." I say as I place my stuff next to her and she just smiles nodding her head.

"Hey there." She greets as she looks to her phone, typing away at something. She was always on her phone as she was constantly busy. She was literally the Station Commanders right hand at the moment. "I will chat with you after I sent the deployment." She says as she glances to me and then she looks back down to her phone screen.

"Sure." I say as I open the passengers seats door and get in, making myself comfortable as I close the door. Once all the members of our relief is in the car and the ignition is started and we start our way home Lucy places her phone in her lap and she smiles to me.

I see her bend down and then she starts pulling stuff out of a bag. She starts handing out a cool drink to each person in the bus and then she hands me one with a smile before she continues to pull out a small bag of chips for each person and last but not least she pulls out a brown bag and she hands it to me.

"And this?" I ask as I take the bag from her and peak inside.

"I owe you jerky." She states and at this my eyes light up as I reach into the packet and take a piece of jerky, biting at it. I offer some to her and then to each person in the bus. "Besides you guys know I like to give you stuff." At this there is a chuckle in the bus but we all knew it was true.

"You might perhaps also have a packet of smokes in there?" I ask making a joke and at this she frowns and the rest of the bus laughs again.

Lucy narrows her eyes and she looks to me with wonder in those big beautiful eyes that belong to her. "Do you need?" she asks innocently to which I just nod because I was running low and I did not plan on them banning Tabaco so I didn't restock anything.

"Miss Lucy who doesn't need smokes and liquor?" the driver asks and at this we all laugh again. "And if you try and buy, they charge you triple the initial amount." He continues to which Lucy just nods her head because she knew all this.

"Lol, sorry I am just stocked on sweets and snacks." She says with a soft smile on her lips.

"You have sweets?" Someone from the back of the bus asks to which she reaches back into her bag and soon she hands each of us a chocolate. How the fuck this girl did it was beyond me.

"When does Lucy not have sweets?" I ask and again the bus roars with laugher. We all knew Lucy, and Lucy always had sweet on her. And she always shared, no matter the day or the person, she loved us each equally and was always giving. I turn half in my seat as I continue to eat the jerky she had given me, something that she was now doing every month, not sure why but at the end of each month she would buy me jerky because she knew I loved it. I scoots a seat closer and now we almost faced each other.

"How was your day?" she asks and I sigh,

"It's better now that I have my jerky." I say with a cheeky smile and she shakes her head from side to side rolling her eyes at me.

"Whatever Dragneel." She says with a playful smile. "I miss you all at the station. It is so quiet." she says and at this I look down, I missed her as well, but I couldn't just say that out loud, but I guess someone beat me too it.

"We miss you Miss Lucy." The driver chirps in and at this there is a hum in agreement. Seemingly I wasn't the only one missing her. I look from Lucy to the other four males in this bus, she had a way about herself, and she just found a way to crawl into each of our hearts. Sometimes I look back at the time before she came to the station and I can't even phantom it anymore that there once was a station without Lucy.

"We all miss you. Even if we see you every time we report on and off duty, whether night or day." I say and at this she smiles brightly but I catch the little wink that she sends me.

"You are one of the most committed people I know and you care for all of us so much." The Captain sitting in the back of the bus says and at this Lucy looks to the back and shakes her head.

"Nope I only care for 3 of the five groups." She says and there is a chuckle. When the groups were made there was something strange about them. So the first two groups where the police members working in the support environment, I would not say there is friction between the Support people and Lucy but even thought she was Support her heart has been at Visible Policing from the start. She loved Visible Policing and would do anything and everything she can for them. And I think that is why Mavis loved and trusted her so much.

When she spoke of her previous two deployments she would always talk about her teams, her members, she cared for them like no other, and most of those people when they are in a tight spot they turn to her. I have seen a few times people from her first station greet her with open arms always asking when she would be returning because they missed her. I chuckle at the thought. She had made the same impact here I guess because we wouldn't be able to function without her.

She took care of us, if we made shit she took the fall and stood back up better than before. When she spoke about her previous commander, she spoke of him like he was her biological father, and he made sure he taught her well when they worked together. I knew about a few times he would ring her up to help him with major events at his new station. No one could compete with Lucy.

"But this group is your favourite…" The Captain asks and I see Lucy smiling.

"Miss Lucy might prefer Group 4 because Laxus is in Group 4." The driver says and at this she shakes her head and chuckles.

"I love you all equally but sadly you guys are my favourite. Just don't tell the other groups." At this we roar with laughter again.
