Hello.. Um, I hope you've all been well. I'm sorry for not updating in like 50 years, I haven't had my laptop for at least a month or two.

I did mention the reason to me not having my laptop in the last chapter, but just to go over it again,

My laptop's charger broke, and I had to wait to get a new one.

I hope you all enjoyed the previous chapter, and also, someone commented.. I can't remember who it was, but they commented asking if this couldn't be a NaLu story?

I apologise deeply, but from the start, I had an idea to have NaLu included. It's not hardcore NaLu, like, Lucy forgives Natsu and marries him.. like, they just interact with each other more.

I'm definitely making it a bit NaLu, though I might throw in StiLu/StiCy (If that is Sting x Lucy shipping name) and some RoLu, but I'm still unsure. I plan to have at least 30 parts to Think Once, Think again, anyway, so I have some time.

Um, so I'll just get into this part, and I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to comment your thoughts on this.. Enjoy! I honestly apologise for the really bad grammar in this, I can sense that this part is off target and not needed, also, I'm unsure on whether this should be NaLu, or MiLu (Minato x Lucy looool). If you could comment your decision, that would be perfect, please!

I'm going to warn everyone, this includes a lot of lemony stuff.. or Lime-ish. I added this because the next part is linked to the lemon, lol. If you dislike it, I'm sorry, you don't have to read it! It's why I'm putting "warning" in it, for those who want to read.


Unknown Feelings & True Facts.


(Lucy's POV):

I was meant to be meeting Jellal-san later on today, near Hargeon Port. We had been discussing about a plan for another return to Draconia once more, before we train Minato-san, and teach him Heavenly Body magic.

It could take at least up to a year for him to learn, but I am more than willing to give up that time.

If it weren't for Minato-san.. I probably would of done something to Fairy Tail, something that I'd regret. And I do not want to live with that Guilty feeling, screaming to get out of my heart, for the majority of my pitiful life.

I was so hurt by two acts of betrayal, I really did not know whether I would survive or not. Once or twice, I had thought about ending my life, but then I realised that it would not change anything. The son of Igneel would of stayed a disgrace, the Strauss girl would of stayed an abomination, and Fairy Tail would of treated me the same.

The sound of knocking at my door made me yelp in shock, my heart beat against my chest in a quick motion. I held my hand on my chest, calming down, yelling out a small "Come in".

Minato came in, dressed in a white shirt, black jeans, and smart shoes.

"Ohayo gozaimasu," I greeted, as he stepped further into my bedroom. "Why the smart attire, Minato-san?"

"Elvira-chan offered to take me out for a meal, and she forced me to wear this. I'm beginning to regret accepting her offer." Minato explained, sitting down on my queen-sized bed, sighing heavily.

"You don't have to go." I said. "You could send Waves-sama with her. They get along really well.

"Yeah, maybe. But then I wouldn't want to seem rude, considering all of the things she has done for me. After.. After Zeta-chan was killed.." He struggled to speak, exhaling in ragged breaths. "I didn't know how to cope with living. I was so distraught.. and I was disgusted with the fact that I couldn't even protect my own son.. I even thought about suicide! What's the point in making a promise.. living for my son.. if he isn't around for that?!"

I screamed out, and grabbed him, pushing him onto the bed. He seemed shocked, and placed his hands on the large mattress, staring up into my deep-black eyes.

"You had no idea that Zeta-chan was going to die!" I yelled. "If you had known, yes, you would of stopped that event from changing! But.. you didn't! And you're meant to live for Zeta-chan, not die! He is watching from Dorogana, the Draconian heaven, hoping that we have the best lives.. He is watching us, watching us so that we can live for him! Stop acting like an idiot.. and just realise it, already!"

I breathed heavily after my outburst, and released him immediately, soon realising our position. I was straddling his hips, and his hands were wrapped around my waist, a fierce blush spread across my face.

"G-Gomenasai.." I apologised, shrinking back into the corner of the room. "I.. didn't mean that.."

"No," He said, a light laugh erupting from his pale lips. "You're right. I should be living for my son, who meant everything to me. I should be continuing that light for him, no matter the situation, even if my life is on the line."

"Zeta-chan meant to much to everyone. I thought of him as my own.." I retorted. "I truly thought of him as my son."

"I can imagine you being a mother." He said, making my eyes widen in disbelief. Is he being honest? I thought. "You're very affectionate to your nakama, it is quite a cute sight."

"R-Really..?" I asked, my heart beginning to beat faster, things beginning to flutter in my stomach. W-Why am I feeling such things? I thought. "You must be lying! I.. I can't be a mother. Not until I find my mate.."

"Yes, really. Maybe you've already found your mate." He replied. "All of the Nymphs are at the Guild.." I knew what he was hinting.


[WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNING]


My eyes widened even more, when he neared me. He grabbed me by my hips, and placed me back down onto the bed, staring lustfully at me. He leaned in closer, and closer, his lips nearing my own. I shut my eyes, and pressed my lips against his.

He deepened the kiss, and began moving his hands up towards my thin top. I want more.. I thought. Changing sides, I sat on his lap, and made no sound.

"My Queen.." He groaned. "Don't.."

"I am so sorry," I whispered. "I don't know what has overcome me. I cannot surpress this.."

I drifted into a consoling darkness, and transformed, my mind sending my soul to another state. I was floating in an empty space, surrounded by stars, and instantly, my other personality replaced me. My hair grew, if it can grow any longer than it already is, and turned into a deep, midnight-black colour, and my ebony-black eyes had been renewed with ivory-white eyes.

I slowly lifted my head, and turned to Minato with a wide grin, steadily preparing myself for a wild day.


(Minato's POV):

When Lucielle first kissed me, I did not know how to react. But she had fuelled my Slayer instincts, and made me react, by deepening it. When she said she couldn't surpress something, I was confused, and was slightly disturbed to see her changing.

"Come on.." She purred, in a seductive tone. "I know you want to, Minato-san.."

"It is hard for me to say no when you're grinding on me," I said, through gritted teeth. "Are you sure you want this? I won't control the instincts."

"If it's hard for you to say no, just do me!" She chirped, removing her nightgown, leaving her bare stomach to be seen, and her midnight-blue bra. "Come on! We both want to, so let's go!"

She didn't need to tell me twice. I ripped off her bra, and pushed her rather aggressively back onto the bed, and began fondling her breasts. She groaned in satisfaction, making me grin. I burnt our clothes, destroying them with my chilling fire, and readied myself to enter her.

"W-Wait.." She whispered, moving her arm over the bed. Lucielle muttered a few words, and a bright purple glow covered the room. "Sound barrier runes.. door runes.."

My grin stretched. I pulled back, and slammed into her, making her shriek in pain. I began thrusting, in a fast motion, wrapping my arms around her thighs. She was moaning, and begging for more. I smiled, and flipped her onto her belly, entering from behind. This continued for a while, until she said stop, and began sucking on my hard member. I groaned in pleasure, and placed my hands on her head, pushing forward. I pulled out, and let free, cum covering her face. (A/N: I feel awkward including the rude words, but I don't feel awkward writing a lemon.. what the heck? xD). She looked up, and smiled.

"Tell me where," I said. "Tell me if you want more."

"No more, no more," She whispered, breathing heavily, licking the sticky white substance off of her face.

I rolled onto the bed, heaving. She rested on the bed, rolling over onto my chest, leaning on her chin. She stared at me for a while, simply observing my features. I copied, and watched as she slowly closed her eyes, clearly falling asleep, with a small smile on her face. I joined her, leaning my head back, and holding her in a tight hug, as the stars twinkled, and burned brighter in the late night sky.


(Normal POV):

When the two woke up, at ten o' clock in the morning, Lucielle groaned in tire, rubbing her eyes. She felt something below her, which didn't feel like her cloud-like bed, but a more.. ridged? object. Trailing her eyes away from the wall, she lowered them to a pale body, abs in her sight. Swallowing a squeal of shock, she sighed, and got up.

It was then, when she removed herself from the sleeping figure beneath her, that she realised she was naked.

I can't believe.. the stupidity of my actions.. She thought, taring sadly at the ground. Her eyes reverted back to black, and her changed into it's usual golden-blonde colour, with several highlights in it.

"Destruct." She mumbled, drawings signs in the air with her finger, indigo lines forming over the runes. A blinding light filled the room again, like last night, and the runes were removed.

She opened the door of her bedroom, and stumnled into the bathroom, running the hot water tap of her large Bath Tub.

She waited, sitting on the floor, and rolled over in pain. Something was happening, she just didn't know what. It was something that had been reacting inside of her, against..

"My queen?" Flames asked from outside the door, knocking lightly. "Are you in there?"

"H-Hai.. Flames-sama.." Lucy replied, holding her stomach.

"Are you okay? You sound like you're in pain." He asked, knocking on the door once more. "I can heal you, if you're in pain."

"N-No.. it's fine, I'll be okay. Could you prepare some breakfast, though?" She replied. "I'll be out in a minute, I just want to wash."

"Okay, and Of course, I'll prepare some breakfast. Should I wake up the others..?" Flames said.

"Oh.. a-ano.. if you want." Lucy retorted. "I'll be going to visit Gajeel-san, and jii-san for a while, later on today. You are welcome to come, if you want."

"Hai, I will contemplate on that offer, My queen." He said, his footsteps gently hitting against the floor, as he left.

Lucy sighed, and proceeded to get into her bath, shivering in pleasure as the warm water crashed against her dirty skin. Leaning back into the tub, she allowed the water to cleanse her, to wash away the filth on her body, that caused memories of the previous night, to wash up in her mind. She blushed furiously, mumbling incoherent words underneath her breath, and sighed, for the umpteenth time, this week. A flash in the bathroom, immediately made Lucy aware, that she was not alone, and her one of her most loyal spirits was by her side.

"You little brat.." Aquarius growled, her long, light-blue hair swishing behind her, as she floated above the bath. "What was you thinking?!"

"I don't know," Lucy admitted, lowering her head in shame. "I really do not know. I do believe that something overtook my mind, and sent me.. my soul..? to another place. I had no control over my actions!"

"Eh? What do you mean, brat?!" She growled, flapping her tail in the water, splashing Lucy with waves of water. "This will become a water war if you don't speak.. I'm warning ya', brat!"

"I felt like I had been replaced with a side of me that I never knew existed.." Lucy began, bringing her knees closer to her chest, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I felt as if I could not react to anything, and I felt this unnatural desire to.. touch Minato-san.." Finishing, she was now blushing again, which had Aquarius grinning, amused by her contracted owners embarrassment.

"Well if you felt like that.. then you clearly had some unknown feelings for the other brat. But," Aquarius said, her tone darkening at the thought of a long known fact. "He isn't your mate. He mated long ago, to Zianna, but broke that mating after she left Zeta-chan. You are only allowed to do that by death of either mate, or if it is forcefully broke by a dragon, who are really the true creators of mating."

"But if he isn't my mate.. then who is?" Lucy asked, looking up at her closest friend, her ebony-black eyes wide with shock. Aquarius sighed, and put her hand on her head, dragging it down her face. "Don't tell me.."

"Salamander is the most possible candidate for your mate." Aquarius replied. "The most eligible, because of the bond you had before, it hasn't left. And your strong grandfather like love for Igneel.. it really does increase the chances."

Lucy couldn't believe them words.. and allowed tears to slip from her eyes, screaming out in anger. Aquarius brought the girl into her arms, stroking Lucy's head in a motherly gesture.


(Lucy's POV):

Hearing what I most feared.. despised of.. it had shocked me.

Far more than I had expected, because of the hate I carry for him, for the absolute disgust I think of him.. I thought it was Minato-san who had captured my heart. After all.. we did have sex. And if that didn't mean anything, then it was a waste of time, which is rude to both Minato-san and I.

After ten minutes of crying, and washing my tear stained cheeks with water, I had recovered from my small breakdown, my third breakdown. I'm currently sitting in the bath, staring at the wall, with no emotion in my eyes. It isn't like I have any emotions, though, but.. it's almost as if I have no way to react. Maybe I had subconsciously prepared myself for this..?

"Brat, you'll get over it soon. Either way, you'll have to mate with him, because you'll die. And nobody wants that, in fact, we spirits have strictly prohibited you from participating in any highly, highly, highly dangerous things. You dying would cause the destruction of Draconia, and all links to the Celestial Realm, all links to Celestial Magic. You could cause the deaths of many others around you, closer than you think." Aquarius said, her tone bored, and tired. "Even if you hate Natsu Dragneel, sometimes, you need to come to term with whatever you are feeling."

"Aquarius-san, he attacked me! Not only did he attack me, but he talked bad about mother, and has brought nothing but heartache to me! Even if he was my mate, I'd rather die from not mating, rather than ending up with him!" I protested, gripping tightly onto the railing beside me, hearing light creaking noises.

"Just accept it," She finally snapped, and stared with sad eyes. "I don't want him to be your mate, but it's not like I can stop that. Once you know, you know, and once it's decided, there is no avoiding it, no convincing yourself that it is wrong."

"Fine!" I snapped, ripping my gaze away from her, looking towards the ground. "I'll accept it, but it doesn't mean I'll act upon it. Regardless whether it's true or not, I will never accept Natsu dragneel. He has wronged in so many ways.. I'm not sure if he can even repent for them! It's a true fact!"
