My first job
(Still the same day Lucy joined)
(Natsu's POV)
I can't wait anymore! I wanna go on an adventure with her right now! She was talking to Levy, her new best friend about a book that I don't really care about while eating her lunch.
I went up to her putting my arm around her shoulder as she starts coughing. I think she had a piece of her lunch in her mouth. Guess imma get yelled at soon.
"Hey Luce, wanna go on your first mission with us?" I tried my best to hide my laugh and it worked but I still had one big of a smile on my face. I can't wait to see her reaction- OKAY I DON'T WANNA SEE IT ANYMORE!
"DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT AGAIN PINKY!" That's the second scariest face I have ever seen! It could even compete with Erza's but she still needs a bit of training to do so... But she's still pretty scary... I guess I shouldn't anger her again!
But then I realized what she said. "HEY! It's not pink! It's salmon!!" I started pouting on the floor. Then I heard her laughing at my reaction. I don't know why but her laugh sounds like music to my ears "HEY! Don't laugh at me!" I said fake tearing up.
"Ok ok Natsu! It's not pink but salmon and I won't laugh at you again just stop fake crying." She reassured me sitting next to me and wiped my 'tears' from my eyes.
Then she kissed my cheek- wait... WHAT?! SHE-SHE K-KISSED MY CH-CHEEK?! I CAN FEEL MY FACE HEATING UP!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! WHAT DO I DO?! Wait... It's not the first time a girl kissed my cheek... So... Why am I panicking? Why do I feel like that only around her..? Luce... You're some big mystery...
"And I would love to do my first mission with you and Happy Natsu." As I turned my head to face her, my face heats up even more when I see her big bright and sweet smile. But I could notice that she had a tint of pink on her cheeks as well!
"Aawww how cute! This is it you 2 are my new OTP!!! AAH!! NALUUUU~ " As we heard the shipping queen fangirling I could feel myself blushing 50 shades of red and smoke flying from my head. At least I'm not the only one in that state, I can see that Lucy's in the same problem as me.
"H-Hey Luce let's go choose your f-first job." I proposed trying to change the subject and luckily it worked.
"Y-yeah." She was still blushing as she stood and helped me up to join her on the request board trying to find a job that could pay well and that wasn't too hard for her to handle but to my surprise, she chose a pretty hard one:
{The villagers are disappearing one by one each night. We need help finding who's behind this, defeating them and bringing back our lost friends.
Village: *
Reward: 200 000 J.}
"We will take that one!" She stated excitedly. I was shocked.
"You sure about that Luce? That mission was almost going to be an S-class one because many have tried to do it and no one could ever accomplish it! You still wanna do it?"
"That's one more reason for me to do it! So it's still a yes!" She answered with a grin.
I couldn't say 'no' so I accepted and went to Mira and told that we were going on that mission with Happy. After finding him, we said our goodbyes and went to the Magnolia station. Once on the train- WAIT TRAIN ?! I'm starting to feel sick... CRAP THE RIDE OF HELL STARTED!
"I... feel... sick...*gag*"
"Natsu you okay ?! Happy what's happening to him?!" Lucy asked my buddy scared of what's happening to me...
'Heh she's the first one to actually care for me without laughing, even Wendy laughed a bit when she saw me.'
"Don't worry Lushie, it's normal, every 14 years old and older dragon slayer has motion sickness."
"Poor Natsu... Thank you Happy."
"It aws wmo pwobwem at lowl (It was no problem at all)" Happy said eating one of his fishes.
"You should try to sleep Natsu, it will help a bit."
"Al... right...*gag*" And after that, I fell asleep on Lucy's shoulder.
(Lucy's POV)
As Natsu fell asleep on my shoulder, I noticed that he was taller than me and that his neck's gonna hurt for a while when he wakes up if he sleeps on my shoulder. Happy already fell asleep after finishing his fish so I was the only one left awake. I decided to lay Natsu on my lap but I didn't have any chance to do so because he actually fell on them himself.
(WARNING! MAY CONTAIN INAPPROPRIATE ACTIONS!)
I was playing with his hair for a short time until he wrapped his arms around my neck and lifted his head up to my shoulder laying it there, now he was sitting on me and I could feel his breath on my neck. I blushed so hard that you could see the smoke coming from my head when he kissed my neck and lowered his hands to my chest sliding his head after them as he stopped at the same place.
I couldn't move, I was too shocked and embarrassed to do so. And that's when I saw it... His eyes opening slowly revealing his onyx eyes. In that instant, my face became redder than it already was.
He looked at me confused.
"Hey, you okay Luce? Your face is all red! Do you have a fever or something?" He asked with concern evident in his voice but as if it wasn't enough he pushed his head up and kissed my forehead to make sure I had no fever and I swear my face was a big red tomato growing redder each second!
'Can't he at least take his hands away?!' I thought hoping he would do so but sadly he didn't even realize that he had his hands on me, and he was pretty close to me as well. Just 1 inch was between us but of course, the dense dragon slayer didn't notice that either.
"Hey! You're even redder now!! You sure you okay?!" He questioned again getting closer and closer to me until he...
(Natsu's POV)
I woke up my hands on something soft, I didn't know what it was so squeezed it still looking into Lucy's eyes getting closer and closer to her and I saw her face getting redder than it already was. I squeezed the soft thing more and more enjoying the feeling and at every squeeze, Lucy's face gets even redder. I was getting closer to her but I didn't realize what I was doing. Well, that was until my lips smashed into hers. Only then I looked down at what I was touching guessing that that was the reason behind her reddish face.
I didn't separate from her lips, neither from her breasts. I was really enjoying the feeling... I wanted to explore her mouth with my tongue but she wouldn't open her it for me so I had to squeeze her harder than earlier and play with her tits before penetrating my tongue in her mouth as she wanted to say something. My tongue danced with hers a bit until she melted in the kiss.
(END OF WARNING)
(A\N: sorry about that everyone but I had to do it for a coming part of the story. Believe me, it wasn't just to waste my time and yours. Sorry again. BUT! I warned you before it started so do not say I didn't!)
A minute later I separated from her sitting back in my spot. "S-sorry about that. It's just that I couldn't resist my dragon's instinct. I-I didn't mean to... Do that..." I apologized hiding my blush with my scarf looking out the window. 'Sh*t! I can't keep this up! I don't wanna hurt her! But... Why did my instinct tell me to do i- NO! She's can't be the next one! And to my luck the season is close! What do I do?!' I thought to myself. I should talk about this with the master.
"It-it's alright... I guess..." She said mumbling the last part but I clearly heard her...
Time Skip: After the train ride (Natsu fell asleep again on her lap but nothing happened this time)
(Still Natsu's POV)
As we arrived at the client's house, he opened the door and signaled us to come inside.
"Good afternoon Fairy Tail, my name's Mikael but you can call me Mike."
"Good afternoon Mr. Mike. I'm Lucy and this is Natsu, while the blue cat's Happy."
"We heard that the villagers are disappearing each night and you don't know who's behind this, right?" I started.
"Indeed you're right young man."
"Can you explain to us how this is happening and everything other than that that we need to know if you don't mind?" Luce asked looking at the old man in the eyes.
"Of course dear. So it all started 3 months ago, at 12 o'clock in the morning, everyone was asleep when we woke to the sound of screaming. Lights were surrounding my friend's house, Kelly. We all gathered around the lights but after 10 seconds they vanished along with her. We do not know how it happened or why they are doing that but the thing we know for sure is that they are after the girls! They take girls of all ages: old, young; any age. That's why I would like you to be on your guard young lady. Oh and I forgot to mention, after every kidnapping, we would find a paper on the place it happened. It would be either a quiz, game or other things. We never could solve them or even discover the reason why they were there. Here, these are all the papers we have found." As he said that he took at least 100 papers and handed them to Lucy.
"Thank you, Mr. Mike, we'll try our best, we promise, and Fairy Tail never breaks their word." She replied with a smile.
"We will get going now and think about what we should do about that. Thank you again and have a good night." I thanked him again as we stood up heading to the doors going to the hotel Happy reserved for us after we introduced him.
Yep Happy went to reserve our hotel while we were at the client's house. I hope everything's gonna be alright, especially for Lucy.
(Lucy's POV)
Natsu and I stepped into our hotel room and saw Happy asleep on the couch in the living room. This room is pretty big... It has a little living room where there's one big couch in front of the TV, and a bar in the back to separate the living room from the kitchen. In our room, there's one big king-sized bed with 2 nightstands on each side of the bed and one big bathroom.
I went to one of the nightstands and put the papers on it, jumped on the bed and when I say it's pretty comfortable you gotta believe me. Then Natsu joined me and we talked a bit, getting to know each other better.
"So Luce how old are you?"
"I'm 17 years old. What about you?"
"I'm 18! Ha! I'm older than you! *stands on the bed and starts jumping up and down repeating 'I'm older than you, I'm older than you'*"
"*Laughing* S-stop it Natsu, you're not a child a-anymore! And besides, we need to prepare a plan to save those girls!"
"Aww~ Come on~ You're no fun~"
"Sorry, Natsu but we have a job to do."
"*Sighs* Alright... So what do we have to do? *Sits back down*"
"I don't know but I think that we should solve these papers first so we have an idea of what they are about! But if one of these kidnappings is gonna happen at midnight than we should be awake to see how it's happening! So we better have some sleep now and rest... It's still 5 PM so you can sleep a bit until 11 to guard the villagers and protect tonight's victim if we can!"
"That's an awesome plan you've got here! Alright then let's do it!"
After that, he immediately fell asleep 'Guess he was really tired huh... Oh well, I should start working on those papers...' I thought as I stood up and took the papers to solve and sat at a table taking the latest one that was a pop quiz. God, help me. I don't think these are gonna end anytime soon...
Time Skip: 3 hours later (8 PM)
(Natsu's POV)
I woke up slowly and lifted my head up to see if Luce was still asleep but I didn't see her. In fact, her part of the bed isn't even touched. 'Don't tell me she didn't sleep! Why didn't she stick to the plan she made?!' As I questioned myself, I saw a light in the kitchen so I decided to check it out.
I tiptoed there so no one would hear me coming, Happy still asleep but then I saw Luce... 'She worked on these papers all along while I was asleep... It seems that she's gonna fall asleep any second now... And they call me stupid... Baka* Luce..'
I then noticed 2 piles of papers on each side of her, my guess is that she worked on them for the last 3 hours. I watched her as she put the paper she put to her left and took another from her right. She still had a long way to go but it seems like she has an idea.
"Wait... In every paper, once solved, there's always a name and it happens to be the victim of the second night, so, basically, the name on the first paper I solved is the name of tonight's victim!" She stood up and sighed and started whispering to herself but I still heard her because of my dragon hearing.
"I hope Natsu's still asleep... I don't want him to wast his energy on the things I can do alone... He must be fully recharged to be able to protect the villagers. But not tonight because this time we're gonna watch how the kidnapping is happening and explore the place in search of any hint that might tell us who or what is doing this or where we can find the kidnapped girls and with the hints I got from these papers to who they will be taking this time it's gonna get easier to protect them! All I need now is a list of all the girls in the village and where they live. I should get going but first, imma go check on Natsu."
(PS: On each paper, the name of the girl kidnapped when the paper was left is written, that's how she figured it out.)
As I heard the last part I quickly but quietly ran to the bed and pretended to be asleep still when she entered the room. I felt her coming across my bed and kissing my cheek before exiting the hotel room.
I sat up and looked at the hour "8:10 huh..." I start thinking about the secret plan she made... 'It's actually a pretty good one... I can't deny that...' And just then had I realized that she was alone, at night, going to our client's house... I took a last glance at Happy only to see him still asleep so I ran out of the hotel and followed her but was still, like, 5 minutes away from her.
Once there, I saw Lucy talking to him but I couldn't hear them. A window at the side of the building was seen and I stood next to it, listening to their conversation, hiding behind the wall separating us.
"-then we will search the place for any hint that might guide us to the kidnapper but to do that I would like to have a list of all the girls in the village and where they live please." She explained and asked the old man.
"Sure. Here you go, dear." He accepted handing her the list. "Also, thank you for helping us. Hopefully, you're going to be able to solve our problem soon."
"You don't need to worry, we'll try our best! *Smiles* After all this is our job to help the ones in need right?"
"Yeah, you're probably right *chuckles*"
"I will get going now, sir. Goodnight." Lucy finally said her farewell and left for the hotel and of course, I followed her but when I was sure that she was gonna be okay I ran to our room and again, pretended to be sleeping.
5 minutes later I smelled her enter the room and felt her stare at me 'sleeping' for a minute or 2 before leaving to what I guessed was the kitchen. I followed her and hid behind the bar and heard her talking to herself.
"Oh, it's already 20 to 9! Geez, time runs fast when you're having fun *giggles then yawns* I'm so sleepy- NO LUCY! Don't you dare think about it! *slaps herself* That's better! Now I will go see who's tonight's victim!" As she said that she pulled a paper and read it out loud "So the next one is Matilda. She lives at the end of the village. I will go talk to her and tell her what's gonna happen tonight! Here goes nothing!" As she stood up and left the room I followed her to her next stop.
She knocked at the door 3 times when it finally opened revealing a long woman with short brown hair that I assume to be Matilda. After 20 minutes of random chit-chat, Luce started the conversation I wanted to hear.
"So Matilda... I'm not here to talk but to work. I came to warn you that you're tonight's target and I would like you to do me a favor..."
"Oh... I see... Thank you for telling me, Lucy. And I will do whatever you have in mind if that helps you in your mission."
"Thank you. So, I would like you to take a video of the whole scene and let the lacrima you used fall on the floor before you disappear to help us figure out some things if you don't mind..."
"I see that you're one smart girl Lucy... I will do it."
"Thank you again and I promise we will bring you and your friends back soon." Lucy assured her smiling. "I will be going now. I have some more things to do. Goodnight."
And with that, she left for the hotel again. At least, that was what I thought until she stopped at the beginning of a forest and entered it. 'What the hell is she doing here?! It's like 9 PM and she needs to rest before the plan starts!' As I thought that, I saw her grasping one of her keys and opened it.
"OPEN GATE OF THE WATER BEARER! AQUARIUS!" As soon as she finished, a bright light blinded me for a second. When I opened my eyes, a mermaid was in front of her.
"YOU'RE LATE!" The spirit yelled and believe me that she is even scarier than Erza. 'I never thought I would ever meet someone scarier than Erza...*Shivers*'
"S-sorry Aquarius. I didn't notice the time and I had work to do *bows down and sweat drops*"
"*Sighs* I will let it slid this time, BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE ME! UNDERSTOOD?!"
"U-Understood! *Gets back up*"
"Now let's see what you've got! Last time you called 5 spirits at the same time. Today I want you to open 7 gates!"
"HAI!" She said with excitement in her eyes.
"OPEN! GATE OF THE LION, MAIDEN, ARCHER, SCORPION, TWINS, AND RAM! LEO, VIRGO, SAGITTARIUS, SCORPIO, GEMINI AND ARIES!" She called and all 6 of them appeared next to Aquarius. My eyes widened. SH-SHE JUST CALLED 7 SPIRITS AT THE SAME TIME! AND SHE DOESN'T SEEM TIRED AT ALL!!
"Great job princess! You called all 7 of us and you still aren't tired! That must mean that you were doing the exercises Capricorn told you about."
"Yes, I did Virgo."
"So can you call the 3 left?"
"I will try my best Loki. Here goes nothing *takes a deep breath* OPEN GATE OF THE GIANT CRAB, GOLDEN BULL AND GOAT! CANCER, TAURUS, AND CAPRICORN!" And the called 3 appeared.
I can't believe it... She... She actually called all her spirits!! She's really strong! I think that she's training... That would explain the spirits' reaction... I'll just watch her.
"That was amazing Lucy-Sama, you could call all 10 of us at once and you didn't even use 1% of your magic energy! I think we're all proud of you, right everyone?" The rest nodded their heads., smiling.
"Thank you, Capricorn, everyone..."
"Now let's focus on your star dresses!"
"Right! Which one should I do first and how do you want me to train?"
"Well, you see miss Lucy, we made you a new training where you will be using all of your star dresses." The ram said
"Really?! YAY! So what is it?"
"You will have to fight each one of us using your star dresses and to make it more difficult you will have to do it without your keys."
"I see... So you're most likely focusing on me using my magic without my magic source... Meaning a new challenge! I'm in!"
"Good to see that you're excited, Lucy." Scorpio said but as a reply, he got a nod from the girl.
"So let's begin! I will be your first opponent." The lion said taking Lucy's keys and again only got a nod as a reply. The 2 of them got in position and prepared themselves for the fight.
"STAR DRESS: LEO!" Luce started to glow and changed into a black dress. They fought like that for 10 minutes until Capricorn attacked Lucy along with Leo but Lucy jumped in the air changing her clothing again.
"STAR DRESS: CAPRICORN!" The fight kept on with Lucy changing from her Capricorn star dress to Loki's and again, someone joined in, catching her and tightening their grip on her throat until she changed again.
"STAR DRESS: TAURUS!" She changed into a... Bra and half leggings? Ok... This is just weird... "EARTH WAVE!" Once said, the earth started shacking making all 3 of the spirits lose their balance and fall to the ground.
"STAR DRESS: SCORPIO! SAND STORM!" I heard her yell as the mentioned spirit attacked but ended up crashing into a tree nearby.
"STAR DRESS: ARIES!" Again, she transformed and believe me she looks cute in that one! I was caught off my thoughts when a pink smoke surrounded Luce. But she didn't give up and kicked all of the smoke away.
"STAR DRESS: VIRGO!" Again she changed into... A maid outfit?... Well, it's not really important right now... Anyway, she jumped up revealing the maiden from underneath her. Back down, she digs in the floor making a hole where Gemini got stuck in while trying to get her by surprise but it seems that she's the one that got them by surprise. Whatever... Right now I wanna continue on watching!
"STAR DRESS: GEMINI!" Here we go again... This time the archer attacked but was blocked. Then I could hear Luce yell again.
"STAR DRESS: SAGITTARIUS!" But before that, she mumbled something under her breath I couldn't hear. Luce aimed her attack at the opponents that already joined sending all of them back to the celestial world. "STAR SHOT!" After they disappeared, 2 scissors made they're way to her but they were blocked by... Knives..?
From where did they co-"STAR DRESS: CANCER!" Oh okay but... HOW DID SHE CHANGE SO FAST?! Then a hole appeared underneath Cancer... WHERE THE HELL DID IT COME FROM ?! But then I saw another Lucy in Virgo's star dress... How did she- Is that so... Now I understand... So that was the spell she mumbled earlier in her Gemini star dress, a spell that doubled her. Clever. Then, when the smoke cleared a water tornado was aimed at Luce! Sh*t! She can't escape that one! When the smock cleared, I was preparing myself to kill that spirit until I saw her... Standing in the middle of the area with a water barrier surrounding her... No way, when did she have the time to change into another star dress?!
"STAR DRESS: AQUARIUS! WATER SHIELD!" She yelled after her barrier vanished... Wow... That was so good! After that I saw the mark above Lucy's chest starting to glow as Lucy started to cast a spell:
"Survey the Heavens,
Open the Heavens...
All the stars far and wide...
Show me thy appearance...
With such shine.
Oh, Tetrabiblos...
I am the ruler of the stars...
Aspect become complete...
Open thy malevolent gate.
Oh, 88 Stars of heaven...
Shine!
Urano Metria!"
With that said, every spirit who was still here was attacked by planets that appeared and went back to the celestial world. Luce was breathing heavily and when she stood up and went back to normal, she was gonna faint but I ran up to her and caught her before she could hit the ground.
"N-Natsu...?" She said faintly with a tint of confusion in her voice.
"Heh, heya, Luce! Just go to sleep... You need rest and we need to wake up at 11, right? You worked enough for today. Oh, and 1 more thing, you were awesome out here" I told and smiled at her as she returned the gesture then passed out. I guess I will have to carry her all the way back to the hotel. 'Sweet dreams Luce and have a good night... You deserve it...' I wonder what's gonna happen. Well, if I wanna know then I will have to wait and see what the future reserves for us...
[Edited: The 13th of July 2019]
Hi, there my NaLu fans! So how was the new chapter? I hope you liked it! As I said before I don't know if I will be able to update anything these 3 days!

Like right now it's 1:15 AM and I've been working since 9 AM! It will be like that until I start school because when I do so I don't know if I will be able to keep that up...
The first chapter was published on the 28th of August 2018 so I should have published the second chapter the 30th (today) and the third on Saturday so the fourth should be on Monday. So see ya there!
Thank you for reading :)
