Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, Natsu and myself hope you're enjoying Flames and Keys . We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.

thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.

We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima

P.S: sorry for the delay guys, I(Lucy) don't have any internet at the moment so for the next month of so the number of chapters I upload isn't going to be as large and won't be as frequent

The songs mentioned in this chapter do not belong to us..

the songs in this chapter are:

- Guardian Angel by RED


*the next morning*

Natsu: *lying awake on the couch looking at the ceiling* This fucking sucks

Lucy gets up. Over night she spent 2 hours healing her arm now it's completely healed. She slips on her school dress which is cream in colour and form fitting. She slides on her shoes and socks then puts her hair back letting hair fall down the front. She walks out of the bedroom and into the dining room. Her dress almost reaches mid thigh length

Natsu: *sighs* Guess there's no going back to sleep. *he gets up and walks into the kitchen, in only a pair of loose fitting shorts*

Lucy: *looks up at Natsu and smiles* good morning

Natsu: Uh... morning *walks to the cupboard and pulls out some pain medication before pouring himself a glass of water*

Lucy: u...um a..are you okay?

Natsu: I'm fine, just a headache. (And everything else)

Lucy: o..okay. *sits at the table and rubs her forehead which has started aching*

Natsu: *sees this and puts the tablets and water in front of her* Here

Lucy: *looks up at Natsu* b..but you n..need them

Natsu: *smiles* I can deal with it

Lucy rubs her forehead again. When she looks at Natsu he can see a pink haze over her brown eyes. her eyes flicker

Natsu: *shakes her lightly* Lucy?

Lucy: N..Natsu?

Natsu: Are you okay?

Lucy: *is resisting the spell but is obviously struggling* I..I d..don't k..know

Natsu: H..hold on while I go get dad

Lucy: o..okay *grips her head*

Natsu runs to Igneel's room and bangs on the door

Igneel: *groans having been woken up* what is it Natsu?

Natsu: Something's up with Lucy

Igneel: okay give me a minute *gets up and opens the door*

Natsu grabs Igneel's arm and drags him to the kitchen

Lucy is clutching her head, tears trickling down her face

Natsu: S..see?

Igneel: I see *walks over to Lucy* Lucy?

Lucy: I..It h..hurts

Igneel: What do you think is happening right now?

Lucy: I..I d..don't k..know. I..I d..don't e..even k..know h..how I..I g..got h..her. L..last thing I..I c..could r..remember w..was b..being i..in t..the h..hospital

Igneel: *grabs Lucy's face and makes her look at him, noticing her eyes* Natsu. Go and get Layla

Natsu: R..right. *runs to Igneel's room to get Layla* Layla

Layla: *steps out of the room rubbing her eyes* good morning Natsu

Natsu grabs her arm and walks her to the kitchen

Layla: what's going on?

Natsu: There's something up with Lucy. Dad sent me to get you

Layla: o..okay *follows Natsu into the kitchen*

Lucy: *tears trickle down her face* w..what's h..appening t..to m..me?

Igneel: There's been a spell cast on you. *looks up at Layla* You need to come here and see this

Layla: o..okay *moves closer and looks at Lucy's eyes. Tears form in her eyes* y..you're right

Igneel: She's resisting it though.

Lucy: *shakes off Igneel's grip on her face* let go of me *grabs her bag and runs out the door*

Natsu: Is.. is there something we can do?

Layla: I.I'm not sure, but we need to do something

Igneel: We need to figure out what the spell is. But she said the last thing she remembered was being in the hospital

Layla: did something happen to Lucy while she was in the hospital?

Igneel: Sting probably did something to her

Layla: but why?

Igneel: You said last night that this may be Jude's doing

Layla: *nods* there's a possibility that he was partially responsible

Igneel: This... this reminds me of what happened to... *sighs and looks down at the ground, a single tear falling*

Natsu: (D..dad?)

Layla: we're not going to let that happen

Igneel: We should go after her. Natsu, you're going to school

Natsu: B..but.. What about Lucy?

Layla: she's probably heading for the school

Igneel: If she shows up at school call us.

Natsu: O..okay. *walks away to get ready for school*

*at fairy hills public academy*

Lucy has finally arrived at school. She walks through the front gate and looks around hoping to see sting

Levy: Lucy!

Lucy: o..oh hey Levy

Levy: How are you?

Lucy: much better *smiles*

Levy: That's good. How's Natsu?

Lucy: *slips off the cast and sling* this thing is so annoying. o..oh ah Natsu he's fine

Levy: A..are you sure you should be taking off the sling and cast?

Lucy: yeah I'm sure. I used my magic to heal myself

Sting is walking towards the school entrance with Cobra and Rogue

Cobra: hey Sting isn't that blondie with the bookworm

Sting: So it is. Lucy!

Lucy: *turns around, as she see's sting she smiles and goes up to him and hugs him* heySsting

Sting: *hugs Lucy* Nice to see your arm's healed

Lucy: *smiles* yeah I healed it with my magic

Sting: Come on, let's go to class

Lucy: okay

Sting wraps an arm around Lucy's shoulder and walks inside the building with her, leaving Levy standing there

Natsu: *walks up beside Levy* Well... looks like they're o..official now... huh?

Lisana: *walks up to Levy* what was that about?

Levy: *turns to Natsu* W..when did you get here?

Natsu: Long enough to see the hug...

Lisana: h..hi Natsu

Natsu: Hey, Lisana.

Lisana: what's up with Lucy?

Natsu: I don't know... *turns to head back inside*

Levy: N..Natsu, wait!

Natsu: I..I'll see you later, okay guys.

Lisana: o..okay

Natsu: *walks inside to his locker and leans against it with his eyes closed* This really fucking sucks

Erza: what sucks?

Natsu: *jumps* E..Erza...

Erza: yeah it's me. so what sucks?

Natsu: It's nothing important. *looks down the hallway as Sting and Lucy pass by*

Erza: you're worried about Lucy?

Natsu: Y..yeah

Erza: do you like Lucy?

Natsu: Well... *sniffs the air and covers his nose* Ugh.. w..what's that smell?

Erza: what smell? I don't smell anything?

*suddenly the fire alarm goes off*

Erza: what the hell

Mira: *runs up to Erza* There was a chemical spill in the science labs which caused a fire. Come on we've gotta head outside

Natsu: *gags* Ugh... I think I'm g..gonna be sick

Erza grabs Natsu and helps him outside

Natsu: Th..thanks..

Erza: no problem. I wonder what could have cause the chemical spill

Natsu: *gags* I... I dunno.. *gags* B..but I can't stop s..smelling it... *gags*

Erza: come with me *takes Natsu into a green house where Natsu can't smell the chemical spill or fire*

Natsu: Th..thanks E..Erza

Erza: no problem. Whoever caused the fire is going to get punished *cracks her knuckles then fixes up her glasses*

Natsu: W..well it wasn't me this time

Erza: *frowns* then who could it be?

Natsu weakly shrugs

Erza: are you going to be okay Natsu?

Natsu: I.. I dunno..

Erza: maybe you should go home

Natsu: *shakes his head* Dad won't let me. And I'm in no shape to walk home

Gray: *walks in with Gajeel* Hey. We thought we'd find you guys in here.

Gajeel: some moron knocked over a test tube in the chem lab and started a fire

Natsu: E..Erza..? C..can I sit down..?

Erza: sure *helps Natsu sit down*

Natsu starts taking slow deep breaths with his eyes closed

Gray: *to Erza* What's up with him?

Erza: he was able to smell the fire before the alarm went off, so I guess he's been affected by it

Gray: *confused* We were in the chem lab and Gajeel didn't smell it until it happened

Erza: hmm *scratches her head* that is odd

Natsu: *quietly* Ugh... this fucking sucks

Erza: Natsu can you explain to us what's wrong

Natsu: Y..you'll fucking laugh so no

Erza: who said I would laugh.

Natsu looks up at Erza, she can see that his pupils have changed

Erza: n..Natsu your eyes!?

Natsu: I... I know. They've been like this since last night

Erza: o..okay

Gray: The hell flame brain? This is something you tell your nakama

Gajeel: seriously what the fuck is wrong

Natsu: It's... dad said it was... my c..coming of age... *looks away from the others*

Gajeel: so you're going to fucking dragon puberty

Gray: Seriously? *turns to Gajeel* Has this happened to you?

Gajeel: *scratches the back of his* uh not yet

Natsu: Th..that's essentially what's happening...

Gajeel: so that's why you're acting all weird around bunny girl

Natsu nods

Erza: so basically you're acting on the instincts of a dragon

Natsu: That's how dad put it anyway...

Erza: do you know how long this will last?

Natsu shrugs

Gray: What aren't you telling us, Natsu? If this were normal for all dragon slayers then Gajeel should have gone through this too since he's older than you

Erza: Natsu you really need to tell us, so we can help

Natsu: You guys know how Igneel's a dragon?

Erza: *Nods* yeah

Gajeel: *nods* uh huh

Natsu: He.. He's also my biological father

Gray: W..wait... Y..you're half dragon?

Erza's mouth gapes open

Natsu: So I doubt Gajeel is gonna go through this... considering what I am and all...

Gajeel: yeah I guess so

Natsu gets to his feet and walks out of the greenhouse

Gray: Holy shit.

Erza: what is it Gray?

Gray: It's just.. If Natsu is really Igneel's son that would explain the beatings

Erza: yeah it does explain it

Gray: And considering what's happening to him, we probably shouldn't leave him on his own

Erza: right *heads off after Natsu*

Lucy: *standing outside with sting* I hope no one was caught in the fire

Sting: I'm sure they'll be fine, princess.

Lucy: *smiles* that's good

Gray: *walks up to Lucy and Sting* Luce, have you seen Natsu? He took off and we can't find him

Lucy: *looks at Gray* sorry Gray, but I haven't seen Natsu

Gray: Damn. If you see him can you let us know?

Lucy: o..okay

Gray: Thanks. *runs off*

Sting: What was that about?

Lucy: Natsu's run off

Sting: Why would pinky do that?

Lucy: his father said he was going through some changes

Sting: What kind of changes?

Lucy: well his hearing and sense of smell has become more sensitive. His father said it was like going through puberty was more intense

Sting: Let's go look for him. We may as well make sure he's okay

Lucy: *smiles* okay

Sting: Any idea where we could look?

Lucy: maybe the music room

Sting: Then let's go there

Lucy: okay *walks to the music room with Sting*

They get to the music room and the door is open slightly

Natsu: *strumming on his guitar and singing, halfway through a song*
And seasons are changing,
And waves are crashing,
And stars are falling all for us.
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter,
I can show you I'll be the one.

I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up for you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all.
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven.

'Cause you're my, you're my, my
My true love, my whole heart.
Please don't throw that away.
'Cause I'm here for you.
Please don't walk away and,
Please tell me you'll stay.
Stay.

Lucy listens to Natsu singing

Natsu: Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay,
Though my skies are turning Gray

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up for you forever
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven

I will never let you fall.
I'll stand up with you forever.
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to Heaven.

Natsu strums on the guitar for a little while longer and then stops playing

Lucy: *opens the door* n..Natsu?

Natsu: *keeps his back to the door* What?

Lucy: a..are you okay?

Natsu: *puts his guitar in the case and slams it shut* Why wouldn't I be?

Lucy: *tears form in her eyes* w..why are you mad? I..I was o..only asking

Natsu: I.. *sighs* I'm not mad

Lucy: o..okay *sniffs*

Natsu: *turns to Lucy and Sting* Can I help you two with something, or did you just come to flaunt your relationship?

Sting: on no, we just came to see if you're okay. Lucy was worried when Gray asked her where you were

Natsu: *picks up his guitar case and sheet music* Well that's nice, but I'm fine

Sting: you certainly don't look it, you're on edge.

Natsu: Why do you care anyway Sting?

Sting: I don't. But Lucy does

Natsu sighs and runs his fingers through his hair

Lucy: Natsu are you sure you're okay?

Natsu: I should be asking you that... but you seem fine as long as you're around Sting

Lucy: w..what? *her head starts aching, she clutches her head*

Natsu: *looks at Sting* You gonna tell me what you did?

Sting smirks

Natsu: Whatever. It's none of my business. As long as she's happy she can be with whoever she wants... even if it isn't me. *starts walking past them*

Lucy: *tears trickle down her face* w..what's happening to me?

Natsu: *looks at her sadly and then turns to Sting* You won. Congratulations. *he leaves the music room*

Lucy: *clutches her head* w..wait

Natsu: *stops and looks back at Lucy* Why?

Lucy: I..I'm s..sorry. I..I didn't w..want to u..upset you

Natsu: It's nothing you did. Goodbye... *quietly as he turns around and walks down the hallway* princess

Lucy: *looks at sting* w..what's h..happening t..to me?

Sting: It's just a headache, princess. You need to calm down

Natsu is standing at his locker, he pulls out his phone and calls Igneel

Igneel: hello

Natsu: D..*sniffs* dad?

Igneel: what's wrong Natsu?

Natsu: Wh..what happens when a dragon loses their mate?

Igneel: nothing good happens when a dragon loses their mate. What happened Natsu?

Natsu: I.. I l..let her go.

Igneel: even though you know something has happened to her?

Natsu: It's clear even with what's happening that I'm not what she wants.. I.. Dad, I d..don't know w..what to do

Igneel: don't worry Natsu, we'll figure this out

Natsu: C..can you come get me? I don't want to stay here

Igneel: okay. I'll be there soon

Natsu: Th..thanks

Igneel hangs up

*in the music room*

Lucy: *backs away from sting* t..this isn't j..just a..headache w..what d..did y..you do to me

Sting: I didn't do anything

Lucy: d..don't l..lie to me

Sting: You want the truth? There's a spell on you. Pinky put it on you

Lucy: w..what s..spell?

Sting: Something to make you listen to him

Lucy: l...listen to him?

Sting: Yeah.

Lucy: b..but w..why?

Sting: Probably something to do with why he caused that car accident

Lucy collapses to her knee's tears pouring down her face

Sting: Come on princess. I'll take you to the infirmary

Lucy: p..princess?

Sting: Yeah. *moves to help her up*

Lucy: *shakes him off and stands up* get away from me

Sting: Princess, what's wrong?

Lucy: don't call me princess

Sting: I've always called you that

Lucy: *frowns* no you haven't

Sting: *reaches for her arm* Come on. You need to go to the infirmary and lie down

Lucy: *moves back* get away from me

Sting: What's wrong?

Lucy: nothing's wrong *the pink haze in her eyes disappears*

Stings eyes widen slightly

Lucy: Natsu was right to be cautious around you

Sting: What are you talking about?

Lucy: *frowns* you know I absolutely hate being used

Sting: When was I using you?

Lucy: when you put that spell on me. You're using me to gain power and money

*The sound of a car approaching can be heard from the music room*

Lucy shoves past sting and runs out of the music room

Sting: *looks out to the window* Hmm... looks like she's more powerful than her father gave her credit for

-Outside-

Lucy: *runs outside just before Natsu gets in the car* Natsu wait

Natsu turns around

Lucy: *runs up to Natsu and hugs him, tears pouring down her face* I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Natsu: Wh..what are you apologising for?

Lucy: for upsetting you. I was weak, I let him control me

Natsu: It.. its okay, Lucy.

Lucy: h..he used me *tears pour down her face*

Natsu: *turns and looks at Igneel* A.. a little help here, dad?

Igneel: *gets out of the car and pulls Lucy gently away from Natsu* it's okay Lucy

Natsu looks away from Lucy so she can't see his eyes watering and moves to get in the car

Lucy: n..Natsu please don't go

Natsu: I... I don't want to..

Lucy: t..then w..why are you leaving?

Natsu: B..because I don't t..trust myself right now

Lucy: why?

Natsu: *turns to Igneel, a tear falling down his cheek* D..dad? C..can we go?

Igneel: sure

Lucy: Natsu please don't I..I l..love you

Gray: *runs out with Erza* Natsu, what the hell? Are you running away?

Erza: Natsu where are you going?

Natsu: I... I don't know...

Lucy: Natsu please don't go. *tears pour down her face*

Gray: Natsu, we don't care if you're half dragon. We're still nakama right? And nakama stand together

Lucy: w..what?

Gray: Geez, flame brain stop acting stupid and trust people to help you for a change

Lucy shakes Igneel off and runs out the front gate of the school

Natsu watches Lucy run out of the school

Erza: Natsu you need to stop her. I know you're still adjusting but imagine what Lucy is going through. As you said she was raped then beaten, then controlled by sting. I imagine she's terrified and confused right now

Natsu: And finding out what I am is gonna make it worse!

Erza: Natsu you were the first friend Lucy ever made. Wouldn't you think she'd want to be around you

Natsu: I.. I don't know

Erza: *slaps Natsu* get a hold of yourself Natsu

Natsu stares at Erza holding his cheek

Erza: now get a hold of yourself and find Lucy

Natsu: B..but...

Erza: no buts Natsu, go find Lucy

Natsu turns and runs out of the school

Lucy has run to the local garden. She hides behind a pink rose bush and cries. Her body shaking. Natsu runs into the garden, following his nose he finds Lucy easily. Lucy is curled up into a ball, tears run down her face and soak the ends of her hair

Natsu: L... Lucy?

Lucy: n..Natsu? *looks up tears stain her face*

Natsu: Yeah...

Lucy gets up and hugs Natsu. she sobs into his chest

Natsu hesitantly hugs returns her hug, rubbing her back to comfort her

Lucy: *sniffs* n..Natsu I..I n..never h..had a..any feelings f..for Sting. I..I love y..you

Natsu: I... I love you too

Lucy: *looks up at Natsu* y..you d..do?

Natsu: Y..yeah

Lucy: *smiles slightly* n..Natsu i..if it weren't for you I would never have been able to break out of Sting's spell

Natsu: Huh?

Lucy: the spell sting cast on me, the nickname you gave me. Princess, when sting called me that it snapped me out of his spell

Natsu: *smiles slightly* Guess I'm good for something after all

Lucy: *smiles* yeah *she moves closer and pulls Natsu into a kiss*

Natsu is shocked by the sudden kiss, he kisses her back

Lucy: *pulls back blushing red* I..I'm s..sorry

Natsu: F..for what?

Lucy: f..for y..you

Natsu: I..I kissed back remember?

Lucy: y..yeah

Natsu: So if you have to apologize for your kiss, I'd have to apologize for this then *pulls her into a kiss*

Lucy blushes then kisses him back. Natsu tries to pull away, but his instincts keep him there. Lucy grips his shirt as she kisses him as Natsu grips onto her dress. As Natsu grips her dress one of her buttons comes undone and shows more cleavage. His grip tightens, his nails pierce the fabric of her dress. His eyes turn more dragon like and a growl escapes his lips. Lucy gasps as his nails pierce her dress allowing access to her mouth. His tongue enters her mouth, exploring it. He pulls her closer into him. Lucy grips his back, letting Natsu explore her mouth. Natsu moves one hand from her back towards her chest, firmly gripping onto her breast. Lucy moans into Natsu's mouth as he grips her breast. Natsu is still holding her against him, he moves back until his back is pressed against a tree. Lucy moves her hands to the buttons on his shirt. Natsu's eyes are completely dragon*like by this point and his body heat is steadily rising. Lucy starts unbuttoning his shirt. Natsu moves his hand to the zipper of her dress. Lucy realises what Natsu is doing and goes to pull away. Natsu starts unzipping her dress

Lucy: n..Natsu?!

Natsu: *stops and looks at her, panting* L..Luce?

Lucy: *panting* w..we c..can't d..do t..this h..here

Natsu: *takes his hand away from her back* r..right..

Lucy: *blushes* b..but w..we c..can do i..it later i..if y..you want to

Natsu: *blushes* O..only if you w..want to. I'm n..not g..gonna f..force you

Lucy: *smiles her cheeks pink* I..I want to

Natsu smiles and moves a stray hair from over her eyes

Lucy smiles. She zips her dress back up

Natsu: *realises his back is against a tree and his shirt is unbuttoned* Uh... H..how close were we to actually doing something?

Lucy: p...pretty close *blushes*

Natsu: S..so... Does this make us o..official or?

Lucy: y..yeah

Natsu: *grins* Awesome

Lucy: *blushes and smiles* yeah

-Lucy's phone rings-

Lucy: hello, Lucy speaking

Layla: Hi, sweetie its mum

Lucy: hi mum

Layla: Are you okay? I got a call from Igneel and the principle saying you'd run away from school

Lucy: yeah I'm fine, Natsu found me and he calmed me down

Layla: Oh, that's good. How's Natsu doing?

Lucy: I'll ask him *to Natsu* how are you feeling?

Natsu: Umm... fine I guess. A little confused as to what just happened but fine

Lucy: *to Layla* he says he's fine

Layla: Okay. Igneel was worried and Natsu wasn't answering his phone

Natsu: *confused* I didn't even hear my phone ring

Lucy: okay. He says he never even heard his phone ring

Layla: Igneel called a few minutes ago... Hold on...

Lucy: okay

Layla: Okay, sorry sweetie I've got to go. Go back to Igneel's and I'll meet you there okay? And make sure to stay with Natsu, I don't want you getting hurt

Lucy: o..okay. Bye mum

Layla hangs up

Natsu: Everything okay?

Lucy: yeah everything's fine. They just wanted to know if we're okay. They also want us to go back to your place

Natsu: Really? I would've thought they wanted us going back to school

Lucy: they just said for us to go back to your place

Natsu: Okay. *takes her hand and starts walking out of the garden towards his house*

Lucy is holding Natsu's hand as she walks with him
