Author's Note: Ayy shorter Chapter this time around but I also released my new story today so I hope that makes up for this. This chapter is mainly to give some fluff while also setting up for future hooks with Romeo so I hope you enjoy.

The rays of sunlight found their way through the curtains, landing on the bed, specifically on Lucy's. Causing her to wake up, as she opened her eyes, she started to move to get out of bed, but stop when she felt something resting her movements. Looking under covers she saw a pair of hands warped around her bare waist, her own hands resting on top of them. But what really caught her attention was the breathing she felt on her back. Turning her head she saw black spiky hair right next to her back. It didn't take her long to remember what happened last night. She couldn't help the stupid smile on her face, he was good, way better than what would be expected, doing his best to make her feel as good as she tried for him.

But looking at the time it would seem like they'd probably be better getting ready, while this was their last day working here it, they had to help finish the last touches with their work. And they needed to be there by 12, and it was currently 10:20. So she reluctantly removed his hands and moved forward off the bed, giving a shiver as she felt Romeo's deflated shaft exit her passage, not realizing it was still there.

As she got out of the bed she made sure to give Romeo a quick peck on the forehead, making her way to the shower to clean off the night's activities.

Romeo could never recall waking up as he did, his body aching, muscles sore, but for a reason he couldn't think of at the moment, his mind felt content. And that reason was soon remembered when he heard the bathroom door open. Looking at that direction he saw an amazing sight, Lucy in just a towel which barely covered her up as it hung tightly to her body.

She was drying her hair when she noticed he was awake, giving him a smile she said: "Hey there cutie, finally up?"

Romeo could only look at her dumbfounded, despite the deed they had done yesterday he couldn't hold his hormones back, as his dick started to harden underneath the covers, with a tent forming due to it. And Lucy noticed it.

She couldn't help but giggle at him, her smile turning into a sultry one as she told him "My my, even though you saw much more last night it looks like you want more." She brought a hand to the knot she tied to keep the towel in place between her breast, making sure Romeo saw her movements "But as much as I would enjoy another round, we gotta get to work, and you need to clean up and get some breakfast. I know I'm peckish after last night." She told him as she moved to her bag, letting her towel become lose just enough to get him to look, but not show him anything. "You should get ready to, I'll bring breakfast, OK?" she finished, looking at him as he reluctantly got out, nervously covering his penis. She couldn't help but laugh inwardly as she tried to tell him with a reassuring smile "You don't have to be embarrassed you know, I'm happy you find me attractive, besides you should be proud with a tool like that. With the way you used it yesterday, I'm sure I'll get even more familiar with it soon." she assured him while giving him a wink.

Romeo could only smile back as he walked as fast he could to the bathroom. He knew he shouldn't be nervous, but Lucy excited him too much.

As Romeo finished his shower and put on his clothes, Lucy came in with breakfast. They ate in silence but neither minded, it felt comforting in a way, Romeo didn't know how much his relationship with Lucy would change, but the way they were just content to be like this made him worry about it less.

After they finished their meals they went to work, walking together but not touching, no holding hands or locking arms. They walked with smiles on their faces, and that was good enough for both of them. And their happiness showed as they finished the remainder of their work earlier than expected. It was mid-afternoon, giving them plenty of time of making it to the train station and back to Magnolia before it got late. Romeo went to the Inn to get their bags while Lucy collected the money for their job at the City Hall. They meet at the entrance of the town, giving it one last look as they left, holding hands, while they'd probably never come back, they were thankful for what happened there.

After around 40 minutes of walking the pair saw the hill where they both fell down, giving Romeo an idea, Romeo scooped up Lucy bridle style, causing her to give a surprise shrink. She looked up at him confused not minding how he held her but curious as to why.

Romeo just flashed her a smile, saying "Don't want to fall you to fall again and injure yourself."

Lucy couldn't help but smile at him as she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning her head on to his chest, his soft breathing soothing to her. He carried her like this until the edge of the town where the train station came into their sight. He gently set her down, with her giving him a peck on the lips as thanks as they walked to the station. Ordering their tickets when they arrived, proceeding to wait on the bench for the train to arrive.

As the train pulled up to the station they both got on and quickly found a seat in the back. It would take a while till they reached Magnolia so they decided to get some rest. Leaning on each other, they dozed off.

It was night as they awoke just before their stop came, finally at Magnolia they stretch a bit as the train pulled off, and with how Lucy stretched herself, Romeo couldn't help but stare as her body stretched around her outfit, helping to show off what he knew was underneath. As Lucy turned to him, she held out her hand while giving him a smile. Romeo took it, proceeding to walk back to her house. The walk back was pleasant but quiet, and both knew they couldn't get too close to each other or the townspeople that knew them could get suspicious. When they finally reached her apartment Romeo thought now was as good a time as any to ask the question he had in the back of his head.

"Lucy." He said, getting her attention, noticing the look on his face.

"Yes Romeo?" She replied.

"I've been wondering, ever since last night, what are we, cause I feel like we're not boyfriend and girlfriend?" He asked her, he wanted to know what she thought of this relationship before they went forward.

Lucy was a bit surprised by the question but knew what he meant. And he deserved an honest answer. "What are we?" She repeated to herself than proceeding to get on his level to look him in the eyes as she said "We're people who care about each other, people who love each other, but I don't think boyfriend and girlfriend. But that doesn't mean I don't think we don't love each other, just not exactly like that."

While it wasn't a bad answer Romeo wanted to keep asking. "Than what does it mean if we, you know, have sex again. Are we doing it just for fun?"

Lucy was surprised by how much Romeo wanted to know about the state of their relationship, most guys his age and heck her age would have been just fine if it was just sex. But Romeo wanted something more, and she couldn't help but admire that. So she gave him another answer "Sex to me Romeo is something you do with someone special, someone you care about and that's the way you want to express yourself. So if we do have sex again, while it would be fun, I would do it cause I want to show you how much I care about you." But even with that answer, Romeo looked a bit unsure, so she decided to add a bit else. "Romeo, if you want to take this relationship further, than I'll try with you, but I also know that at a stage of your life where you're still growing, still learning things about yourself. You might find what you saw in me at first was a crush and while you may care about me, you might not love me. I don't want you to feel trapped or obligated to me cause honestly, you might've guest I have feelings for Natsu. And while I have similar feelings for you, I don't want to choose one and lose the other. I want you and I to have the freedom to both care for each other, and do the same with others, but that doesn't mean we can't go on dates or just talk. It might not be dating, but with what we can do it'd definitely still be nice. So Romeo, can you accept that answer?"

Romeo could only look at Lucy as tear came out of his face, Lucy didn't know what to think at first, until he suddenly grabbed her and kiss her! She returned it of course, feeling lucky there was no one around to see the act. When he pulled away he shakily said to her "Thank you Lucy. You're too kind to me, I don't know how much father I want to take this relationship, but I do know you're an amazing Women. And I'm gonna make you feel special any time I can."

Lucy could only hug him in response, before asking him "Well, do you want to stay the night here? I won't mind."

"As much as I'd like to I'd better go home, I left a note to my mom about the mission but didn't tell her how long I'd be gone. So it'd probably be best to tell her I'm back as soon as I can." Romeo told her with a chuckle.

"Ohh how disappointed, I was hoping you could keep me warm, tonight." She said, feigning being disappointed "But I guess you'll just have to make it up to me another time. Now go on, your mom is waiting for you." She finished. But as Romeo turned to leave, she gave him a quick peck on the check "Goodnight Romeo." she told him

"Night Lucy. I love you" He responded before running off.

Lucy couldn't help but smile as he ran off, she really got lucky with this boy, and while they may not explicitly date each other, they'd definitely care for one other.

Lucy was currently walking towards Fairy Tail, having gotten up feeling great, it was around noon so the guild would be somewhat full. As she walked in she saw Mira and Lisanna and Mirajane serving at the bar, with Cana of course, drowning herself with a barrel. She walked over to the bar and sat down as Mira and Lisanna came up to her, finishing all the work they needed to do at the moment.

"Welcome back Lucy, I take it the mission went well?" Mira said

"There were a few complications, but it worked out in the end." Lucy responded

"Oh, like what?" Lisanna inquired

"I'll tell you over a drink." Lucy said

"One drink coming right up!" Mira said as she handed Lucy a cup of ice tea.

"Thanks Mira, now where should I begin?" Lucy asked as Mira and Lisanna leaned on the table in front of her. "I guess I'll start with our little accident. Romeo and I were walking on a trail near the top of the hill, but what we didn't know was that the ground was unstable. So as I was walking near the edge the ground underneath me gave way and I started to tumble down the hill. But than Romeo leaped towards me and graves me as we fell together, him shielding me from the rest of the tumble." Lucy told them

"Oh my, were you hurt?" Mira asked, a look of concern on her face.

"Unfortunately yes, I sprained my ankle a bit, but other than that came out fine. Romeo though got a bunch of cuts and hit his arm against a tree to stop us, nothing serious, but when I saw him I thought I'd get a panic attack." Lucy explained

Mira and Lisanna look at her closely, with faces of concern with how hurt the "Little Brother of Fairy Tail" was.

"But when he noticed I couldn't stand cause of my injury he picked me up and carried me on his back despite his injuries, it was a bit embarrassing but he had such a fire in his eyes, like Natsu's when he wants to protect his friend. He carried me all the way to the town and took me to a doctor. And when we were both checked out he made me go rest in the Inn while he went to inform the City Council of our arrival. And when I ended up passing out on the couch he carried me into bed, giving me the whole thing while he took the couch." Lucy explaining the rest of the first day with an embarrassed smile on her face.

"My my I'm impressed with Romeo, I hoped it'd be a good experience for you two but from how you told it he must have left quite the impression." Mira said

"I know, I can't believe our little Romeo is so mature, and he's still not our height yet. So did you pay him back somehow?" Lisanna added

'I took his virginity and gave him one hell of a night.' Lucy couldn't help but think ,but she knew she couldn't talk about that, opting to speak about their "dates".

"I took him out to dinner at this nice restaurant the next day." Lucy told them, causing both of them to giggle a bit

"You took him out on a date?" Lisanna teased,

"Kinda, I know you told me not to tease him too much Mira but I wanted to see how he would act in that situation."

"Well I don't know if I could blame you, so how'd he do?" Mira asked

"Pretty well, but even though I was repaying him he still felt the need to pay me back. So the next day at night he took me on this trail after getting us a bunch of snacks, and at the end of it there was this beautiful pond lit up by the moonlight, you should have seen it." Lucy said

"Oh my, maybe I should get him to take me out on a date." Mira couldn't help but laugh out "Despite being so young it seems like our little Romeo is quite the charmer, so how did you reward him for his efforts, it definitely sounded like he earned something?" She added

"Let's just say he got a memorable first kiss. He deserved it, besides might as well plant my flag while his still growing, if he's this good now just wait until he's our age." Lucy responded, causing all three of them to laugh together

But near the end of the bar, a certain brunette couldn't help but feel jealous as she heard every word of the conversation while holding a barrel to her mouth.

A little while later a certain boy entered the guild, wearing his usual attire, noticing Cana waving at him to come over.

"Hey Cana, what's up?" He asked

"What's up? You left without telling me where you were? Do you know how lonely I was without you or your father to drink with?" Cana told him

"Sorry about leaving without telling you Cana but I didn't know where you were, besides I don't drink with you, cause I'm not old enough to." He said

"You know my point, you're like a little brother to me, and not knowing where my little brother is makes me a bit anxious." Cana said, looking at him like a grumpy older sibling would scolding their younger sibling.

"Ok Ok, I'll try and make it up to you another time." Romeo responded while trying to apologizing

But Romeo didn't notice the eyes watching him, Mira couldn't help but notice something, after her conversation with Lucy she felt like she was hiding something. She had been aware of the reason for Romeo's shyness towards most of the ladies in the guild for the past couple of months. She knew he was a growing boy and tried not to tease him too much, but she knew the way he interacted with the members of the guild, and she knew he had a big problem communicating with the ladies who were gone for 7 years. So when she noticed how easily Romeo was talking with Cana she couldn't help but feel something was off. Out of all the ladies who were gone for 7 years Cana was by far the one Romeo had the least trouble talking too, though you could definitely tell he was shy and hesitant with her unless they got a bit too passionate during one of their "sibling" arguments. But now despite him still being a bit shy, she noticed he was much more confident and comfortable he was with Cana. So she decided to test him a bit.

"O Romeo! Could you come here for a bit, I need your help." She called out to him, starting her plan

Romeo turned her head to her, saying goodbye to Cana who looked a bit disappointed as he left to help Mira.

"What do you need help with Mira?" He asked, hands behind his head.

"Romeo do you think you could help me with some boxes in the back?" she asked him, giving him a smile

"Oh, sure Mira." Romeo respond, following her into the storage room

As they walked into the storage room Mira decided to bring out her trump card first, climbing up a ladder to get some supplies, she "accidentally" slip but luckily for her and just how she planned, Romeo caught her.

But Romeo went beet red when she fell into his arms, as her rounded butt felt through the fabric of her dress landed on his hand while her breasts were right in front of his face, the opening on the top of her dress presenting him with a generous view of the valley in front of him. While he was processing as best as he could the situation, he didn't realize that Mira had let herself land like that, using her advanced skills to reposition herself just before he caught her without him noticing. It took Romeo a couple of seconds before he let her down.

"Thanks for catching me Romeo." Mira said with a smile, testing him

"Uhh no problem Mira, just glad you weren't hurt" He said.

He hesitated, but he didn't stumble, she noted. While he was clearly embarrassed, it wasn't how he would usually react. The old Romeo would've just stayed silent, looking at the ground slightly ashamed. But Romeo just looked to the side with somewhat of a smile on his face, as they started to get the boxes Mira needed.

'Change like that doesn't just end in a couple of day from a kiss, looks like I'm gonna have to talk to Lucy later. I gotta feeling she rewarded him with more than a simple kiss.' Mira thought.

A/N: Well hoped you enjoyed the chapter, but if you were disappointing there was no lemon I got some good news. Should everything in my writing work out there should be a lemon in every chapter after this one for the remainder of this story so I hope you look forward to that!
