I own nothing.
"Found it!" Lucy yelled, crashing into Levy's room across the hall.
Levy took a quick look at the spell that Lucy was pointing out. "Lunatism? As in sleep walking?"
"Yup. Well, kinda. It puts you in a sleep-like trance so that your subconscious can follow its instincts without the conscious mind. The mage that wrote this believed that our entire destinies are already written into our souls and that the subconscious has a link to it."
"Okay," Lexy said, sitting up. "Do you need my help?"
"Yes. Since neither Kaleb or Zen are here, I'll need someone to keep me from walking in front of a car."
"That's valid. What do we need?"
"Nothing. Just the incantation. There's a note saying that candles and incense are helpful but not required. Let's forgo it and see if it works without first."
They moved down to the living room in an attempt to minimize any potential injury. Lucy sat down on the floor and started chanting. It took a few minutes then suddenly, mid-word, she stopped.
"Lucy?" Levy questioned, waving her hand in front of Lucy's face but didn't get a reaction.
Lucy stood and started walking. As she'd warned, Levy had to stop her from walking into traffic. Whomever she was walking towards was getting around and Levy wished he'd stop moving. With them moving, Levy couldn't call Gajeel to help stop Lucy, so she was grateful that her friend wasn't that much taller.
Zen was stopped at the park. He was wearing workout clothes and Levy realized he must've been having an afternoon run and that was why he was constantly changing directions. Once she was certain that Lucy could get to him without danger, Levy stepped back and watched.
"Lucy?" Zen said, when he saw her approach.
Hearing him say her name, she stopped and blinked. When she saw him, she smiled.
"Of course."
"What's going on?"
"I did a spell for guidance."
"You needed a spell to tell you to come to me?" he asked and Lucy could hear a hint of hurt in his voice.
"The night of the ritual, you said you loved me. I was scared that I'd choose wrong. I couldn't remember who I was with."
Zen cupped her cheek. "If you'd have asked, I'd have told I loved you without the spell. I have since the dance. Since I stupidly asked you to share pleasure, forgetting that you weren't just a beautiful woman in my bed but a celestial mage. And you turned me down when you remembered."
"I- uh- Oh."
"Can I kiss you now?"
"Yes, please."
He chuckled, bent down, and kissed her.
