Summary: One of the consequences of doing some underwear modelling is that somehow, one day, your kid is going to find out….
Pairings: Natsu/Lucy, parental Lucy/Nashi, parental Natsu/Nashi, and Nashi/Happy friendship.
Author's Note: This is for WaterDragonMaverick, who wanted Natsu to collect Lucy's underwear shots….
As punishment for Nashi breaking Ur's nose, again, Nashi was forced to clean out the attic which was something Nashi found incredibly unfair because it's not like she gave Ur permanent damage, Wendy-nee healed it straight away and he was fine enough to sprain Nashi's wrist by tackling her to the ground in retaliation!
Sadly though those arguments fell on deaf ears as Nashi's Mum firmly ordered her to go to the attic now.
And that was when Nashi found it, a little box with Lucy – Keep out! Scribbled onto it in her Dad's terrible handwriting, so of course, within seconds, Nashi opened it eagerly to see what her Dad was hiding.
She instantly wished she hadn't though.
The box had been filled with pictures of her mother…which would have been fine if her mother was actually wearing any clothes in them!
Each, and every single, photo was a faded, crinkled, slippery paper filled with images of her mother in various underwear. Lots of lacy, skimpy, little things as her mother posed weirdly. Hands on her hips, leaning forwards so her breasts stuck out, on her side, one her stomach with her legs up in the air, simply laying on a bed…..
And then it sunk in.
Her mother had been an underwear model.
Her mother had been an underwear model.
"OH MY GOD!" Nashi screamed as she threw the box away from her. "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!"
The attic door flew open and her mother flopped in on the floor, her father appeared seconds later by her mother's legs which suggested he pushed her in, and Happy flew in and hovered mid-air.
"What is it?" Her mother asked worriedly. "Is it a spider? Did you find something dangerous? Natsu what did I tell you about leaving those weapons lying round?"
"I didn't leave them lying around!" her father protested childishly. "I put them in the attic. You're the one that sent her up here to throw away my treasures!"
"There's nothing in here that is a treasure!" her mother snapped. "It's all junk, like those rocks, and that old dress, and the crown jewels….." her mother then face palmed. "You kept the King's crown," she muttered, "of course you did, it never occurred to you to give it back at all, oh I'm going to-"
"YOU WERE AN UNDERWEAR MODEL?!"
Nashi had been unable to keep in the horror and disgust that had been building up in her. Her scream made all three members of the original 'Team Natsu' jump and her Mum suddenly looked wide-eyed, terrified, and very nervous all of a sudden.
"W-w-what?" she stuttered. "Of course not sweetheart!" she lied. "Where did you get that silly idea from? Have you been listening to Uncle Macao and Uncle Wakaba again? You really shouldn't, they're just a pair of drunken perverts."
"Oh yeah?" Nashi snarled. "Then what's this!" she shoved one of the crinkled photos into her mother's face. "Just a bikini shot, yeah?"
"Where did you get this?!" her mother shrieked as she snatched the photo out of Nashi's hand. Nashi glared back at her, cross that she had been lied to, and instantly her mother deflated from her indignation and looked miserable. "Look honey," she said softly, "this is not something I have ever been proud of but I was very desperate for money at the time." Nashi's Dad suddenly shifted and looked down very guiltily at the floor. Nashi strongly suspected this was all his fault. It usually was…. "Do yourself a favour," her mother crumpled the photo up and threw it over her shoulder, "never do underwear shots. It attracts a lot of perverts."
"Like Natsu," Happy added cheerfully.
"Yes," her mother agreed, "like Na – wait, what?"
"That his Lucy collection," Happy pointed to the box in Nashi's hands. "It's full of your underwear modelling photos and-"
"Happy!" Nashi's Dad hissed. "Shut up! You're not helping!"
"You were collecting pictures of me?!" her mother cried asked in…..well a very weird tone. Nashi couldn't tell if this flattered her mother or horrified her. "I thought you were off in the woods or mountains training, not in towns picking up the latest underwear magazines!"
"I….well….you see….." her father stammered. "Happy you tell her!"
Nashi face-palmed. Her father was an idiot, everyone knew Happy was a little shit stirrer, even Tulia, who was a sweet, naïve, nine year old, knew Happy was a shit stirrer.
"Natsu found out you were underwear modelling when your first magazine came out," Happy informed Nashi's Mum, "we were in town getting supplies when we overheard some creepy teenage boys talk about hot you looked. Natsu caught a glimpse of your picture, went psycho-"
"I didn't go psycho!"
"He set their pants on fire," Happy said sagely. "We were chased out of town for being psychopaths, that's what the parents said."
"I-err…..have nothing to say."
"Since then," Happy continued, "Natsu got every magazine you were in, cut out all of your photos, and kept them in a box, and whenever he thought I was asleep he used to take them out to stare at them weirdly, and then he would slip his hand down his-"
Nashi didn't get to hear the rest, her mother instantly swooped in covered her ears. She had a vague sense that her Mum was yelling, and so was her Dad, and then Happy burst into tears, and then her Mum shouted at her Dad, and Nashi decided enough was enough as she elbowed her mother off of her and accidentally dropped the box.
"No!" her mother screeched. "Don't look at them!" she quickly moved to shove them in the box before Nashi's 'innocence' was ruined any more. "Hey…." She muttered quietly, "they're not just my photos," she then looked up at Nashi's father, her eyes sparkling with happy tears, "you kept my articles as well?"
"Well, of course," her father smiled sheepishly, "it's you. I always liked your writing. It's a big part of what makes you, Lucy. I read everything you wrote. Your short stories, your letters, your diary-"
Nashi face-palmed again. She wondered what it would be like to have an intelligent Dad…..probably very boring.
"You did what?!"
"Your articles!" her father backtracked quickly. "I read only your articles and whatever else you permitted me to read. I did not read about your fantasies involving me and whipped cream. Only your articles."
"Oh, Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!"
Nashi and Happy were ignored, as Nashi's Mum stepped closer to her Dad and cupped his face with her hand. "Natsu," she said gently, "that's so sweet and romantic of you."
Nashi grimaced as her mother went onto her tip toes and ever slowly took her father's bottom lip in between her own. Her Dad responded just as disgustingly and before Nashi knew it, her mother's hands were entwined in her father's hair while his hands were definitely somewhere inappropriate as he clutched her mother closer to him.
"Come on," Happy muttered in her ear as he lifted her up, "let's get out of here before it becomes less kid-friendly."
Nashi had no problem letting Happy fly her out of the house especially as they were just about to go through the front door a loud thump could be heard from the attic.
Oh well…..at least she got out of cleaning the attic.
(And even better, her parents were so busy being disgustingly romantic all night long, that Nashi had no choice but to stay with Uncle Gray and Aunt Juvia for the night, both Edward and Gilly were out of town with their parents, and Aunt Juvia made Ur give up his bed for her. Mwhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!)
