A/N: So, here we are with the next chapter and I hope you all have been enjoying it so far. Thank you so much to anyone whom has left a review…I love getting those~ Oh yeah, guys in this chapter things start moving along in the whole Midlu aspect and I would like to point out I don't see Midnight as a man with a lot of sexual experience. I mean, outside of spending most of his life locked up he never struck me as someone who gave two shits about getting laid. So, sorry if he seems a little more ooc than usual. Anyways, just to let you know that the theme for this day is "Copy", so without further ado let's get this show on the road. Warning: Crack pairings everywhere in this chapter because crack pairings is the best~
Disclaimer: I (unfortunately) still do not own Fairy Tail. So, that means that Colu still is not canon Q.Q The beautiful piece of amazingness belongs to Hiro Mashima and we should all beg him to make Colu canon. Seriously, everyone, go message him right now and demand that Colu. It would be nice if we could at least get one scene where they have a decent conversation with each other.
Chapter Four: Gemini just Spells the Word Trouble
Lucy stared up at the exposed chest in front of her while laying with her side against the bed. A whole week had already come and gone since she and Midnight arrived at Sabertooth. And somehow this sight was becoming something of a routine for her to see every morning. So far, the week had been pretty fun minus the fact that she had to at times explain why "Natsu" wasn't his usual self. This guild had so far been like a second home to her and she had to admit it was rather easy to get into, given the fact that that they acted a lot like her own guild. They weren't exactly amazing when it came to holding their alcohol, probably because they had no one like Cana, but it was fun out drinking people for a change. She and Yukino were able to hang out pretty often as well and Lucy was beginning to see the white haired mage more and more like a sister. Of course, as great as it was to see her there were a few downfalls…like how on more than one occasion she would just be casually walking down a hall and then suddenly hear the woman full on moan Sting's name. Safe to say that not only did she discover that those two had no problem having sex in the guild, but they were loud about it too. Lucy had nightmares of that noise now.
She also became rather friendly with Aya, but more often than not the little girl was too busy picking fights with Ogra to really have a decent conversation with. One of the most surprising things yet was actually the fact that she had become good friends with both Rufus and Rogue. The two of them were actually easy to make conversation with and were intelligent to some degree unlike a few other people she knew, but she wasn't going to name anyone just yet. She also discovered that Rufus and Ogra were actually an item. She remembered choking on her strawberry smoothie when she first found out. Apparently, only a few people knew about this little detail since the two of them were not quite ready to come out. As for Midnight, the two of them were getting along pretty decently and were more or less inseparable, but that was more so due to the fact that the narcoleptic mage stuck by her like a toddler stuck to his mother. He always kept an eye on her and if she was out of sight he quickly came to find her. The only time he didn't have an eye on her was when he got pulled into one of the Sabertooth guild brawls…something she had yet to experience herself…thankfully. And probably the most surprising thing that had happened to Lucy in this last week was the fact that she was…casually flirting with Midnight. She had even started entertaining the idea of what a relationship might be like with him. It would probably be a bit of a hassle since he was still a wanted man after all, but she was sure with enough effort they could make it work. And if she had to be honest with herself…he was worth the effort. Lucy mentally laughed at herself, mainly because of the fact that a little over a week ago she never would have considered the reflector mage as "boyfriend material". The man had definitely changed into someone more trustworthy, if the fact that he currently had his arm tightly wrapped around her waist wasn't proof enough. Speaking of which, Lucy really needed to get up and pee at the moment and his arm was doing nothing to help her predicament.
Lucy slowly tried to wiggle her way out of the man's embrace, but failed miserably. She wasn't sure when this whole cuddling thing had started, but if she had to guess than it would have had to have been the night after their first night here. She could clearly remember waking up to a bit of a shock that morning, but it wasn't as if she was actually opposed to the idea. The position was never something terribly intimate, no tangled limbs, no morning wood pressed to her rump, it was always just a firm arm wrapped around her waist. Lucy slowly raised a hand to poke into Midnight's side. The newly complicated morning routine was about to start a.k.a waking Midnight up before noon. The man was easy enough to wake up on days where they actually had a set schedule, but if nothing was planned prior…good luck getting him up before noon.
"Macbeth…seriously, I need to get up," she muttered while still poking him in the side. 'As much as I would love to stay here, I really can't,' she thought to herself and continued to poke harder into his side, but nothing was working. Seriously, the man slept like the dead. "If you don't wake up soon I will resort to drastic measures," she said while her pokes grew ever faster, but not even the change in pace woke up the man in front of her. She held her thighs tightly together in an attempt to stop her bladder from relieving itself all over the bed. She would sooner die than piss on the bed while sleeping with another person. 'Jeez, do I wish I had a bucket of ice or even Gray here with me right now,' she thought to herself, finally stopping her poking since it was proving to be completely ineffective. "Macbeth! Seriously man, wake the fuck up, I need to piss so bad right now!" Lucy practically screeched, but her words did little more than make him mumble a few unintelligent words and further tighten his grip. "Alright buddy, you fucking asked for this," she muttered before wiggling her other arm free and raising it to press against his mouth. She then used her other hand to pinch his nose. In the next few seconds his crimson eyes shot open and he pulled away from Lucy nearly falling out of the bed in the process. Once he had finally filled his lungs with air he went to yell at her only to discover that she had fled the room. He doubted he had ever or would ever see her move so fast in her life.
In the next few minutes, Lucy finally came back from the bathroom with her arms raised as she stretched out her muscles. A few inches of her abdomen revealing itself to the dark haired man in front of her. He eyed the exposed flesh for a moment before forcing his gaze upward and glaring slightly at her.
"Was that really necessary?" he asked while she moved across the room toward the dresser. She opened the top drawer and pulled out a pair of tight fitting jeans, a simple black shirt following after that.
"Yeah, it was, unless you wanted me to piss on the bed," she muttered while opening yet another drawer. This time pulling out a pair of black lacy undergarments that had him grabbing his pillow and placing it into his lap. It was bad enough that he couldn't escape morning wood, but now he had to deal with the mental image of her in those two little pieces of seduction. No way, this was far too much stimulation for one morning…and sadly most mornings were now like this. Or maybe it wasn't such a sad thought…he actually preferred this to waking up alone in some tent. He watched her for a moment longer as she disappeared out of the room to go take a shower as she had done every morning since they arrived here. And just like every other morning he fell back onto the plush bed, pulled the covers back over himself, and promptly passed the fuck back out.
It was about an hour later when Lucy had finally emerged from the bathroom. She was clean and ready for the day, the only thing left to do was wake up Midnight…again…and then make them some breakfast. She moved back into the room she shared with Midnight and found him bundled up under the covers…cuddling her pillow. She smiled softly at the sight before her, a piece of her wanting to let him sleep, but she wasn't about to just let the man sleep the day away either….maybe. The bed did look kind of tempting or rather taking the spot of her pillow looked rather tempting. She wasn't so much tired as she was interested in being wrapped up in his arms again. 'Oh god, Lucy, you've officially fucking lost it. You've obviously been far too depraved of a man's touch,' she thought to herself while taking a seat on the edge of the bed. She gently removed the covers from Midnight and quietly laughed when he pulled the pillow he was cuddling with closer to his chest. "Come on now Macbeth. You can't just sleep the day away," she spoke softly before gently taking the pillow away from the man and tossing it back to where it normally belonged, at the head of the bed, where she usually slept. She watched as he rolled onto his backside now that she had taken the pillow, but the man continued sleeping, his light snores being the only thing, outside of her breathing, making any noise in the room at the moment. She eyed the man's exposed chest, the pale flesh, the dips and curves of the muscle, and the way his sweats hung a low on his hips revealing the slender bone of his pelvis. She slowly peeked over at his sleeping face before turning her gaze back over toward his exposed abdomen. She felt her tongue slip out between her lips and gently run over the suddenly dried flesh. 'No, Lucy, don't you dare do it! It doesn't matter how tempting it is!' she thought to herself, but for some reason she couldn't bring herself to pull her gaze away from his exposed flesh. 'Well, one little touch won't hurt, right? I can just play it off, right? God, Lucy, what have you become…obviously a raging pervert,' she questioned to herself and sadly answered herself as well.
She slowly laid down on her side, beside him as she had been when she had woken up, slowly raising a hand. She gently and ever so slowly ran her fingers against the muscles of his abdomen while her heart pounded away at her chest. She wasn't going to lie, she felt like a pervert, but damn it all if this wasn't just about the best feeling she had ever experienced. Lucy took a small breath when her fingertips had finally finished following their path and her arm was gently draped over him. She curled up into his side, but pushed back away from him in shock when she felt the man shift. The only thing that stopped her from falling off of the bed was his arm that he had securely wrapped around her waist. She quietly laughed at herself once her shock of almost falling from the bed had worn off. She gently wrapped her arm around him once more, relishing in the way that he pulled her closer against him, her head tucking nicely beneath his chin. In this moment, Lucy decided that Midnight was the only man she wanted to spend her life with. The path ahead of her was going to be hard and she imagined she'd have to spend a lot of time away from him since he was on the run. But if she did manage to become his girlfriend she would make sure to never complain or regret her decision. Lucy smiled softly before finally deciding to try and take a small nap with her sleeping companion.
A small nap; however, turned into something far more than that because the next time she woke up it was to the sound of someone knocking on the front door. She groaned in annoyance, clutching tighter to Midnight and trying to further bury her face into his chest. The dark haired mage copied her movement, pulling her tighter into him and trying to bury his face into her blonde locks of hair. He mumbled a few incoherent words out, but neither he nor the half asleep Lucy could understand them. After about a minute passed by the banging finally stopped, but it was replaced by the sound of someone fumbling with the handle.
"I hope we didn't interrupt anything," Yukino spoke while looking over the group that had followed her in.
"Luce won't mind! We've broken into her house plenty of times before," came the voice of one of the companions as the group of five slowly made their way through the small living quarters. Of course, upon entering the bedroom all of them stopped and the looks on their faces were absolutely priceless. They're they stood, eyes wide, mouths hanging open, and the females blushing a light color or pink.
"What the hell is going on?!" the pink haired male spoke up, finally breaking free of his surprised stupor and accidently waking up Lucy with his voice.
"Natsu, if you don't stop yelling right now I'm going to spill the beans to Mirajane about your secret relationship," Lucy spoke in a tired voice, not even bothering to look at the man. Of course, it only took about a minute before she realized what she had not just heard, but said…Natsu was here. Lucy sprung up in the bed, sitting down and getting out of Midnight's protective hold in a record time. She spun her head around to look at Natsu and quickly noticed it wasn't only him, but rather the whole of Team Natsu and Yukino…standing in her and Midnight's temporary room. At first, she was ecstatic to see them, but then she remembered…they had just witnessed her and Midnight cuddling. She blushed a bright red color before grabbing her pillow and chucking it at the group. It hit Natsu square in the face just as she yelled at them all to get the hell out of her room.
"But Lucy…why are you-?" Erza started to speak, but was promptly meant with a pillow of her own.
"Go wait out in living room or something!" Lucy shouted and watched as the group scrambled out, dragging Yukino along with them, they didn't want to risk summoning "scary Lucy". The young blonde huffed in annoyance, but still made sure to make a mental note to apologize to them for her outbreak. She really had over reacted, but she hadn't been ready for them of all people to see her in that kind of situation with Midnight. She didn't want them knowing anything until she was sure that she had an actual chance with the narcoleptic mage. Not only that, but she wanted to do things her way and it was already hard enough with Yukino trying to offer her "advice". If the whole of Fairy Tail found out just what was happening in her love life…the meddling of those fuckers would never end. Of course, Lucy loved her guild, but when it came to a person's love life everyone in that guild was terrible.
Lucy took a small breath before looking next to man whom had surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) failed to wake up.
"Macbeth…we have guests. You should probably get up," she said softly before gently shaking him. Of course that didn't work though and she mentally scolded herself. "Macbeth if you don't wake up right now then you'll force me to go and get Erza," she said while grinning down at the man with the most terrifying smirk she could muster up, but still the man did not even so much as stir. Lucy sighed in defeat…she really didn't want to call Erza in here especially after having kicked her out, but she had no choice. "Hey Erza! Do you mind coming back in here and helping me out!?" Lucy shouted loud enough for the requip mage to hear. The young blonde laughed slightly when she heard the red head yell at the two men in their group to sit the hell back down since it wasn't them who was called.
"Is everything alright Lucy?" Erza said while peeking into the room where she found Lucy standing over the bed and staring down at a half nude Midnight.
"Yeah, sorry for kicking you out a second ago. I just wasn't prepared for you all to see something like that," Lucy muttered looking over toward the red head as she came up to stand beside her.
"It's alright. It was a pretty big surprise, but I suppose it's alright. You're unharmed and appear to trust him very much. I'm just going to have to trust your judgement," Erza spoke smiling brightly when she saw Lucy with a bright smile of her own. "And I hate to ruin this, but is he just going to sleep here the whole time?" Erza asked glaring down at the man on the bed as he shifted onto his belly for more comfort.
"Ah yeah, I was hoping you could wake him up for me? He's really hard to wake up," Lucy said sighing softly before shrugging her shoulders in a kind of defeat.
"No problem," Erza replied, but the look on her face as she said that slightly scared Lucy….even if just a little bit.
"Uh, so…I'm going to go ahead and join the others in the living room," Lucy responded before slowly exiting the room. She didn't want to stick around and find out what was going to happen to the poor man sleeping like a baby in their bed. However, before she even made it through the hall she heard two loud shrills, one male and the other female, these shrills were followed by a topless Midnight running out of the room with a shirt in his left hand. Lucy could do nothing more than mentally sweat drop before looking back and watching as a triumphant Erza slowly exited the room.
"So um…what are you guys doing here anyways?" Lucy asked once the lot of them had finally gathered downstairs in the main part of the guild. They were all crowded at one table, Sting and the others also having joined them, but this group sitting together wasn't even the weirdest sight. No, the weirdest sight so far was Midnight who was wearing gray sweats, a white shirt, and a pair of sneakers. She had never seem him dressed so casually unless in the confines of their "home away from home". Not to mention he kept looking over at Erza and oh boy, if looks could kill Lucy was sure Erza would have already dropped dead.
"Wendy had a mission nearby, so we decided to come and assist her in case something bad happened," Erza spoke up, but Lucy had a feeling the answer was closer to 'Wendy had a mission nearby and we all decided to tag along to come and see you'. The sad part was that Lucy knew that this was the right answer, but Wendy still just nodded her with a smile on her lips, going along with every lie that came out of Erza's mouth.
"Who cares about why we're here? What the hell is up with this!?" Natsu said almost simultaneously to Gray as they two boys pointed toward Lucy whom was currently sporting her newest accessory…a.k.a Midnight had taken to sleeping on her shoulder once again. Lucy was actually going to dignify the two of them with an answer, but then Sting actually had the balls to speak up first.
"The two of them have been inseparable since they first arrived; honestly, I'm amazed they've been able to keep their hands off of each other for this long," Sting spoke, a devilish grin flashing in the direction of Lucy whom was now sporting a death glare of her own. She quickly had to turn her gaze away though when she noticed her two brothers getting ready to attack the poor mage sleeping on her shoulder.
"You two sit the fuck back down before I make a call to the demon matchmaker herself! Yukino hit Sting for me," Lucy spoke while keeping her threatening gaze glued on the blond male.
"Pft! As if Yuki-," Sting started to speak, but was soon met with a swift punch to the back of his head, courtesy of his mate. The blond male soon looked toward Yukino with a look of shock and fake hurt.
"Speaking of matchmaking. I heard you mention something about Natsu earlier," Erza said while looking over toward Lucy with a curious gaze. Lucy of course met her with a somewhat scary grin. Natsu tried to jump up and stop Lucy from spilling anything to Erza, but he was met with a swift knock to the head by said red haired woman.
"I happen to know who almost everyone is with because almost everyone in the god damned guild just can't seem to keep their hands off of each other," Lucy said in a somewhat strained voice as every single memory, of every single couple she caught came flooding back to her mind. Yukino's laugh was the only thing that pulled her back to reality. "Actually, let's start with those two!" Lucy said before pointing accusingly over toward both Yukino and Sting. Erza and the other gasped aloud, before throwing out congratulations for them. Yukino sporting a nice color of pink on her cheeks, while Sting seemed like he could care less about the whole situation.
"Honestly, I thought Sting and Rogue were together. I mean, after everything that happened between Gray and Rogue after the games…," Natsu started speaking, but trailed off when he felt the eyes of two rather pissed off men fall onto him.
"Oh? Gray and Rogue? Please, do tell what happened," a woman Natsu had never seen spoke up, brown hair and bright orange eyes narrowed dangerously, but the smile on her face was probably scarier than Erza. Sadly for Natsu, by now all eyes were on him, some curious, others pissed, and then the one creepy chick who looked like she was going to stab someone…namely him if he didn't give her answers.
"Sorry guys, but you're drama ain't worth getting mauled by a demon. Rogue, you seriously should have rethought the whole mating a Tartarus demon. Rogue used Gray for a one night stand after giving up on getting into Sting's pants," Natsu said and watched as the small brown haired woman twitched, but thankfully she finally turned her gaze away from him. She instead turned to look at Rogue whom was now sporting a somewhat terrified face.
"Oh? You told me you had never been with a woman before, but I never thought that maybe you swung for both sides," Aya spoke, her voice dripping with venom before she promptly stood up from her seat. She said nothing more as she came over to Lucy and kindly asked Erza, of all people, to change seats with her. The red headed woman surprising agreed. "You're fucking sleeping on the couch tonight," Aya spoke before her attention was pulled to Ogra whom had begun violently laughing over the whole scene. Lucy counted down the seconds in her head and the moment she hit 'one' a verbal fight picked up between the two of them.
"I didn't think Gray got around that much…Lucy and Rogue," Midnight spoke up without opening his eyes, the two people's name trailing off as an afterthought. Lucy and Gray both blanched the sudden comment from the reflector mage.
"What the fuck!? Icicle dick got Luce too!?" Natsu spoke up rather loudly, earning a few chuckles from those around him. Erza who would have normally reprimanded Natsu at his sudden outburst was currently too far in a state of shock to even do such a thing. Not even she had known about Lucy and Gray.
"No! It was just a blowjob!" Lucy shouted back toward Natsu, but quickly regretted her words the moment they left her mouth. She turned about twenty different shades of red as all eyes fell on her and Gray. She was absolutely mortified.
"How the fuck did the drag queen even find out about that?! It was your idea not to tell anyone to begin with!" Gray asked, eyes looking over at Lucy which had narrowed into a glare, ignoring the glare from the pale skinned mage that was sleeping on Lucy just a moment ago.
"Gray! You're my best friend, but you're seriously asking for it. Apologize to Macbeth or else," Lucy said before gently pushing Midnight off of her shoulder and grabbing her keys. She jiggled them in the face of the ice mage before a sadistic grin spread across her lips.
"I'll apologize after you explain why you told him of all people about what happened back then," Gray spoke up in a calmer fashion, but for some reason this only seemed to upset Lucy even more…not only that but, she didn't want to admit to Gray that Midnight wasn't the only one who knew about what happened between the two of them.
"Fine then have it your way," Lucy said before grabbing one of her keys and summoning one of her well known spirits. Gemini. And much to everyone's surprise they came out as Lucy dressed in a towel. "Damn it! Why?! I thought Macbeth was the last person you transformed into!?" Lucy screeched before quickly getting up from her spot and attempted to cover more of the copy of herself. Gemini was far too concerned with a new bit of information on their master to even notice her struggling with their attire. "Just please, transform into Gray for me and reveal his secrets!" Lucy said louder than she had expected as she moved away from her copy and waited for the transformation to take place. The copy of herself soon disappeared though and was replaced with a copy Gray.
"Gray Fullbuster. Family deceased. Birth year X766. Fairy Tail mage. Currently dating Mirajane Strauss," the copy of Gray spoke and almost as soon as Gemini stopped speaking all eyes fell on him. It was apparent that no one knew about this relationship yet.
"What?" Erza spoke first, which was a surprise since everyone had been sure she had died of shock after discovering the previous relationship between Lucy and Gray.
"Lucy-sama! I have a question," the copy of Gray spoke up right before Lucy was about to say her good-byes.
"Sure," Lucy replied while slowly pulling her eyes away from Gray only too look at the copy of him.
"I received some new information. Is it true you're in love with Macbeth of Crime Sorciere?" Gemini spoke, but still in the copy of Gray which made this whole situation about ten time weirder for Lucy, but that wasn't even the biggest problem yet. The little shits (as much as she loved them) just purposely revealed her love for the man sitting behind her. It was just lucky for her that everyone at the table was too busy throwing questions at Gray to have heard the "confession". She chanced a glance over toward Midnight and found him "sleeping" on the table. She was sure he wasn't asleep, but it didn't seem like he had heard any part of what Gemini had said. She was thankful for that, but at the same time a small piece of her was disappointed.
"P-Please leave Gemini. Thank you for your help," she spoke and quickly forced their gate closed. She wasn't going to risk the two of them causing any more trouble. Lucy took a small breath before turning to take her seat beside Aya and Macbeth once more. The moment she sat down she gently moved Midnight's head into her lap and ignored the way Gray was looking over toward her with a frustrated expression.
"You had enough then Gray?" Lucy said before casting him a sweet smile as Erza shot yet another question over toward the dark haired ice mage. It seemed like she was becoming increasingly frustrated with Gray's lack of answering.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry Midnight, now do something about this please!" Gray said while looking over at her frantically since he knew that sweet smile meant she had something up her sleeve.
"Good job! Now, everyone onto my original point, don't think I forgot about why all this started to begin with Natsu. Remember you brought this on yourself when you decided to rudely wake me up earlier," Lucy said and watched as Erza went silent and focused her eyes on Natsu. It seemed that she and everyone else had forgotten about why this conversation had started in the first place. "Natsu and Cobra have recently started seeing each other. I even overheard talk of mating," Lucy spoke and this comment not only gained the attention of Erza and several others, but Midnight as well.
"Is that why Eric recently started disappearing with the communication Lacrima at night?" Midnight asked while focusing his crimson gaze onto the fire dragon slayer whom was currently sporting a light color of pink.
"Wait…is that also why you helped me convince master to find a way to get Crime Sorciere into the guild? When did this relationship even happen? How did it happen?!" Erza asked while keeping her eyes glued on Natsu, but for once in his life the poor boy had little to say. He just sat there blushing lightly and trying to avoid the stares of the others at the table.
"Yes, yes, and it happened after the attack from Tartarus when you wanted to see Jellal, so we all went on that mission near his location, and as for how it happened…I don't know. I got to the scene too late. All I saw that night was the two of them trying to rip each other's clothes off," Lucy said, finishing her statement with a light shudder as she remembered the somewhat violent scene. She honestly would have thought they had been trying to kill each other had it not been for the fact their mouths were glued together. Natsu looked over at Lucy for a moment before he quickly began looking for a way to get out of this situation. He found his getaway in Gray by tossing an "innocent" fireball at the man's head. Only Gray dodged it and the fireball instead hit a certain blond guild master. The fight that ensued from there could not even be stopped by Erza.
"Oh, I've been waiting for this shit! Let's go you meat head!" Aya spoke, which surprised the crap out of Erza because she swore that the little girl sounded exactly like Gray or Natsu at that exact moment.
"What the hell was that for flame brain?!" Gray yelled over toward Natsu and quickly stood to confront the pink haired boy, but Sting beat him to it by firing a beam of light at him. The attack unfortunately caught Rufus up in it as well.
"Hey now tiny tits, don't go blaming me because your little shadow didn't tell you about hi-," Ogra started to speak, but was met with a chair flying across the table and smacking him in the face. Courtesy of Aya.
It wasn't long before another guild fight broke out. The only people who remained sitting at the table was Erza, Lucy, Midnight, Wendy, and Yukino. The first three didn't stay seated for too long though because after a minute into the fight a projectile came flying at the back of Erza's head. It wouldn't have been so bad…had it not caused her to spill her drink right onto her strawberry cake. Lucy and the others of the table lightly shuddered as what could only be described as a demonic aura began to surround the red head. She then politely excused herself from the table and stood to join the fight. Midnight was the next to go muttering something about the idiots interrupting his sleep and not watching where they were throwing things.
"He's blocked quite a few…things from hitting you Lucy," Wendy spoke up, pausing once because it had been more than just a few mugs that had been thrown in her direction.
"He does that all the time. It's actually really sweet," Yukino chimed in before smiling at Lucy's blushing. The moment she turned to look at Lucy though, and almost as if in slow motion, a chair came hurtling in her direction…again. Only this time, she was thankfully saved by a certain Lion whom had opened his own gate. He had mostly received no damage, but there was a small cut on front of his hand and this sadly did not go unnoticed by Lucy.
"It you'll both excuse me. I have to teach these assholes what happens when you hurt one my spirits," Lucy spoke before taking the hand that Loki offered her. He helped her from her seat and gave her a friendly hello while she grabbed the handle of Fleuve d'étoiles. The moment the colorful water whip appeared she disappeared into the chaos with Loki at her side.
"So, would you like a tour of the guild?" Yukino asked while looking toward the small blue haired girl whom answered her question by nodding her head. The two of them slowly stood from the table and just in time to because the moment they departed a large man came flying into it.
Time skip
"Lucy, you know you don't have to stay here while we're in town, right? You can share a room with Wendy and Erza," Gray said before casting a slightly suspicious glance over toward a sleeping Midnight.
"Gray, its fine. I've been staying here for a week now," Lucy replied before smiling happy toward the man. She quickly gave him a hug, but the moment she pulled away from the hug and turned to the others she was met with Natsu. He unsurprisingly gave her the exact same spiel Gray had just given her. "Seriously, guys, it's okay, nothing's going to happen," Lucy said before hugging Natsu as well. She then said her good-bye's to Erza and Wendy both of whom she was silently thankful to since neither of them asked her to stay with them instead. They would be back in the morning and both of them trusted Midnight…or Lucy's judgment at the very least. She watched as the group of them headed into their carriage, Natsu complaining about Happy "betraying" him for Lector, Frosch, and Charle. The young blonde laughed quietly to herself as the carriage took off and she immediately saw Natsu try to throw himself out the window.
"Come on, we should head back inside," Lucy said while turning toward Midnight once the carriage had been pulled out of sight. She watched as the man opened his crimson eyes and nodded lightly before turning to leave back into the empty guild. It was already late at night so everyone had departed either to head back home or to the guild dorms, but either way it didn't change the fact that she was alone with Midnight. Not that that was something new, in fact that was becoming so common place she was beginning to wonder if she would be able to return to her apartment in Magnolia without feeling lonely. She had to admit for someone who didn't talk much and spent most of his day sleeping, well, she rather enjoyed his company. Lucy slowly followed behind him as he led the way back to their room. Opening the door and flipping on the light switch as soon as they entered.
"Say Macbeth, wanna watch a movie tonight?" she asked while closing the door behind her. She was aware that it was already rather late tonight, but after having slept almost all day with the man she wasn't feeling tired at all. 'Great…he fucked up my sleep schedule,' she thought to herself before smiling brightly when she saw the man give a nonchalant shrug. That as far as she was concerned was a 'yes' when it came to this man…honestly though she took almost everything as a yes when it came to him. Silence was a yes. Shrugging was a yes. The only time anything was a 'no' was when he lightly twitched though sometimes it also meant he was slightly uncomfortable with something going on. Lucy had yet to be able to tell his twitches apart, but the fact that she had already started easily reading his facial and body expressions was already creepy enough. She doubted she had ever watched another person so closely before.
Midnight took a seat on the couch while Lucy began looking around for Sting's collection of movies which thankfully wasn't too hard to find. They were located in the drawer under the television stand, but she unfortunately found more than just movies mixed in his stash.
"Well, I found out that Sting has a thing for light bondage," Lucy spoke while looking over one of the few pornos before placing it back into its place. Midnight didn't reply, but she was sure he had probably turned a light shade of pink at her statement…it would really surprise her if he hadn't. "Hm…wanna laugh at The Grudge together?" she asked holding up the video case for him to see. When he didn't response Lucy smiled slightly before closing the drawer and turning on the television. She then proceeded to turn on the television and get everything set up. "I'll be back before the movie starts," Lucy spoke up and threw the remote gently into Midnight's lap before she left the room. He figured she was going to go get changed into more comfortable clothes…something he didn't have to do since he hadn't properly dressed himself this morning a certain red haired demon had threatened to chop his dick off if he went back into the bedroom again. He frowned lightly at the memory, but quickly threw them to the back of his mind. He had other things to be worrying about…like how he was going to casually bring up the fact that he had heard everything Gemini confessed earlier that day. Then again he couldn't help, but think maybe he should just keep the information to himself since it might not have been something he was supposed to know. Who the hell was he kidding, of course he wasn't supposed to know about her…her…her love for him. Jeez, that word just didn't work for him, people weren't supposed to fall for him…much less people like Lucy who could probably have anyone she wanted. He was an ex-criminal, someone that tried to end the world, and a man that had tried to kill her…twice, he didn't deserve her forgiveness, let alone her love, but somehow he had snagged both. 'Maybe I can turn her down? I really don't deserve her and she doesn't deserve to go through the torture of dating someone on the run,' he thought to himself before the image of a tear filled Lucy came to mind, which was probably going to happen if he rejected her. Who the fuck was he kidding? There was no way he could turn her down.
"Hey, you okay Macbeth?" Lucy asked from her spot in the hallway. She had just finished changing and came out to find the man staring intently at the television which was a surprise. She had been sure he would have been half way into a coma by the time she had finished changing. Midnight slowly nodded his head, turning to look over at the female, but almost chocked on his spit when he saw her. There she was standing in the hallway, her hair a mess after being pulled free from the updo she had been wearing through the day, her short (if they could even be called shorts) were tight and rode low on her hips, and her pink tang-top rose above her navel revealing her slim waist and flat stomach. If that wasn't enough stimulation for the boner that was threatening to tent his pants any second then the fact that her breasts were only a few inches from spilling out her shirt, well, that definitely put the icing on the cake. She smiled brightly toward him before taking a running leap over the armrest of the couch, using her arms to support her, and then plopping into the spot beside him. There was no way he could turn her down if the topic ever came about. He'd have to be fucking crazy or gay to do something like that. He uncomfortably shifted himself and his pants in an attempt to hide his half way to hard dick before she noticed it. Of course though, the heavens must have hated him because almost as soon as he had solved his problems the movie started and Lucy made herself comfortable. And by comfortable he meant that she propped her legs up on his lap…inches away from his problem. Like literally if she moved even an inch higher her calf would be rubbing against the last thing Lucy probably wanted to deal with at the moment.
Midnight slowly turned his gaze over toward Lucy, she was laying on her side, her cleavage pressed together, her shirt rising a bit higher from her position, and her shorts riding low enough for him to see the start to the black lace thong he had seen earlier in the morning. And there went his imagination. She had her eyes focused on the television and she seemingly had no clue as to what she was putting him through. Or rather that's what he thought until he heard her speak.
"Did you find something you like?" she asked with a soft voice while she pulled her gaze from the television to lock eyes with him.
"S-Sorry," he said simply before forcefully pulling his gaze away from hers, but he couldn't help mentally cursing at himself as he did so. 'Why the fuck am I apologizing? If she didn't want people staring at her then she wouldn't have fucking dressed like that in the first -,' he thought to himself, intent on continuing with the mental argument until something far more important called for his immediate attention. One of her legs had just inched its way up and gently brushed against the aching muscle in his sweats. He inhaled sharply before quickly turning his crimson gaze over toward her. If she knew what she had done then she made no gesture to give away that she knew. He slowly turned away from her once more, looking down at the pair of smooth legs in his lap. He needed to either ask her to move them or move them himself because there was no way he was going to make it through this movie in this kind of position. 'Fuck the movie, I don't trust myself for another five minutes if she does something like that again,' he thought to himself before opening his mouth to speak up.
"Lucy, do you think you could move your legs?" he asked, mentally slapping himself at how strained his voice sounded.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sorry about that," she replied and then much to his horror and excitement she did indeed move her legs, only not in the way he had asked. She gently and ever so slowly moved the same leg against his now fully erect member once more. He bit back a small moan that threatened to escape his lips. "Hey, Macbeth, I was wondering…do you…like me?" she asked quietly, but never once pulled her gaze from the television, afraid of seeing his face at this moment. Midnight slowly looked over at her and honestly the first thing that came to mind was that she was one cunning bitch. It was pretty obvious now that she had done all this on purpose. Hell, he wouldn't put it past her if she had been planning this all out since this morning when she chose those little black panties. For a moment, he felt trapped, if he said 'yes' he was sure Lucy would offer to fix the problem in his pants, but if he said 'no' then she was probably just going to pretend she had never felt his boner in the first place. His answer was obviously going to be yes, but he couldn't help mentally cursing the cunning blonde beside him.
"Yes, but…I think it might be a little more than that," he muttered trying hard to ignore the heat in his face. He knew it was probably a bit much to say something like that to a woman he hadn't even officially started dating yet, but it also seemed a bit wrong to simply say 'I like you' in a situation such as this.
"Me…me too. So, you wouldn't be against going further than just…friendship with me?" she asked and slowly looked over at him for the first time since all this started. She noticed that his face was as bright as hers probably was. His expression appeared strained and she imagined he was probably holding himself back, but she wasn't sure for whose sake he was holding himself back for. For him because he didn't want to make a fool of himself on his first time or hers because he didn't want to scare the shit out of her by being too aggressive. She was honestly glad for that because she wasn't sure if she was quite ready to strip down and reveal herself completely naked to him just yet. Sadly though, it wouldn't be the first time a man saw her naked; after all, there had been that whole horrifying experience of rolling in a bell, naked as the day she was born…with Natsu. Oh god, she never wanted to have to relive that experience again.
She smiled softly when she saw him nod his head in agreement with her question. She slowly removed her legs from his lap, pressed herself flush against the back of the couch, and then gently patted the empty space in front of her. Midnight eyed the spot for a moment while contemplating if he should actually take her up on that offer. A few seconds ticked by as he tried to figure out if he should bolt from the room or not, but eventually he decided to lay down beside her. He faced her, but just as if they were sleeping she had her head neatly tucked under his chin with their arms wrapped around each other. The only difference being that Lucy was fully pressed against him. He could feel her breasts pressed against his chest and his own arousal pressing into her thighs. The sudden urge to apologize overtook him, but before he could even open his mouth the small girl in his arms scooted up slightly until she was almost eye level with him. His breath caught in his throat when he realized just how close she was to him. He could feel her breath dancing across his lips and see the small specs of gold in her normally chocolate brown eyes. She slowly closed the small gap between their lips, pressing a chaste kiss, and smiling softly against him when he returned her gentle kiss.
He probably could have died happy with just that; honestly, everything Lucy did after that was just overkill in his opinion, but god would he be lying if he said he didn't enjoy every second of it. The small blonde parted her lips, gently flicking her pink tongue against his own lips, and mentally laughing about how she could taste his darkly colored lipstick. That answered the question on if his lips were naturally dark like that or not, but she supposed it was always a rather silly thought. Who had lips that dark…naturally? Lucy quickly refocused her mind though when she felt him finally copy her movements and open his mouth ever so slightly to her. She quickly plunged her tongue into his wet caverns, exploring what she could, and letting him copy her movements. Macbeth tasted like lipstick and a deep red wine properly aged with time. 'Is that what he's always drinking in the guild hall?' she thought to herself before a soft moan escaped passed her lips when she felt his fingernails lightly scrape against the exposed flesh of her back. She wasn't sure if it was an accident or not, but damn him for discovering her sensitive back so quickly.
Macbeth was slightly taken aback by Lucy's sudden moan, surprised that the gentle scrape of his nails had elicited such an exciting sound from her. He did it once more, this time with more purpose, and he was rewarded with another one of her blissful moans, but this one was slightly louder. He was going to do it again, but then the daring blonde just had to stop him in his tracks. He groaned into the kiss, surprised by the sudden dainty hand that had wrapped itself around his pulsing cock through his sweats. Lucy slowly pulled away from the kiss and softly laughed at the way Midnight's lipstick had smudged. She imagined she was probably wearing some herself, but she doubted Midnight would notice, not with the way his eyes were currently knitted together in a look of pleasure. If this was enough to have him make a face like that then she really wanted to see what kind of face he'd make when she actually removed the layers of clothing between them…which actually didn't sound like such a bad idea.
Lucy stopped stroking him for a moment, listening to the way his breathing slowed for that second, but then stopped all together when he felt her hand slip into not only his sweats, but his boxers too. Her small little fingers wrapping around his length while her other hand moved awkwardly to pull his offended clothing down a few inches, successfully releasing him from the confides of his boxers and sweats. She slowly began pumping him, moving her hand along his arousal and using the moisture that formed at his tip to help her with the process.
"Macbeth…does that feel good?" she asked while her finger once more swiped along his tip and collected the bit of precum that had formed. She knew the question wasn't needed, his facial expressions and low groans gave him away, but she couldn't help teasing him just a little.
"Fuck yes," he groaned, his colorful language slightly surprising the both of them, but Lucy got over it rather quickly. A wicked grin forming on her lips, she had done this with other men before, but for some reason she hadn't felt so in control before. Maybe it was because for once she was in the role of the "teacher" rather than the "student".
"Hey, Macbeth…" Lucy said slowly before stopping her movements. She watched for a moment as Macbeth opened his eyes revealing the crimson colored orbs that were currently clouded with lust…an expression Lucy had never seen him make. It took her a moment to get over her shock; honestly, the only thing that reminded her about what she wanted to ask were her soaking wet panties. "Could you help me with this?" she asked grabbing his hand with her now free one. She guided him slowly to the space between her legs before pressing his hand gently against her clothed core. She shuddered under his touch and effectively missed the look of surprise on Midnight's face. Had she seen it she probably would have been able to get a good laugh, but she was far too focused on the way Midnight gently, almost experimentally, ran a finger against her folds. She wanted to feel his hand against her and his fingers inside her, but she wasn't going to very well just force his hand down her pants, so, she instead opted for raising her leg and gently placing it over his own, giving him more room to work with. "Please, Macbeth…?" she pleaded with him while her hand once more went to his pulsing cock. She gently ran a finger along the vein and stopped at his head where she gently let her fingertips dance across the smooth flesh.
Midnight slowly looked down at her pleading face before sucking in his lower lip when she began teasing his aching arousal. He had no fucking idea what to do, but going on instinct and learning what she liked and didn't like seemed better than simply turning her down. He slowly moved his hand to the waistband of her shorts, dancing along the exposed flesh for a moment before he slipped his hand in passed her panties. The first thing he noticed, outside of her heat, was how wet she was. How she hadn't soaked through her shorts was a question he was incapable of answering. He slowly slipped the pad of his thumb between her lips and gently started rubbing small circles against the little bundle of nerves he found there. He was completely unsure if he was doing anything right, but his uncertainty quickly melted away when he felt her hips push further into his hand and her voice moan out his name. That was definitely a sound he wanted to hear again. He doubted he could ever get tired of hearing her moan his name out. Not someone else, but his. He slowly leaned in to capture her lips again, but at the same time Lucy had stopped her teasing, wrapping her fingers against his shaft once more and pumping him with a bit more aggression than before. It wasn't painful, but the sudden increase in aggression had him moaning into her mouth. He knew that if she kept that pace up he was going to blow.
Lucy slowly pulled away from the kiss, but not before lightly nipping at Midnight's lower lip. She pressed her forehead to his and bit back a moan when she felt his thumb flick over her clit. She was so close, she just needed a little more of a push and she knew she'd get what she was looking for. "Macbeth, please…," she said, pleading again with him, but this time she didn't give him any direction or rather she had no need to. The man lying beside her did the work on his own, gently sliding a finger into her before removing it and then slipping back into her. He repeated the process, copying the pace she was using on his own arousal.
"Lucy, cum for me," he said before mentally questioning his choice in words. That was a sentence he had never expected to ever fucking say, but god did it just sound so right.
"Fuck yes, I will, just please don't stop that," she moaned out before dragging him into another kiss just before she felt the coil in her lower abdomen finally give. She felt herself clamp around Midnight's finger, pulling away from the kiss and more or less screaming his name out to the high heavens, but never stopping her own motions. The quick movements of her hands and the sound of her moaning his name out, without holding back, with no fear that someone might find out about what was going on, that was all it took to finally send him over. He attempted to bite back his moan, but was a bit too late, if he had known how much Lucy enjoyed hearing his moans he probably would never had attempted to hold them back in the first place. Lucy stilled her hand against him, knowing that people always became sensitive after cuming, but after a second she slowly removed her hand. Midnight did the same, finally slipping his hand out of her pants, copying her motions when she looked down at her now dirtied hand.
"That was a pretty big load," she teased, a small laugh slipping passed her lips as she looked back into Midnight's eyes. Midnight smiled with her before giving her a quiet apology, but both of them knew that he didn't mean a word of it. "Hey, Midnight, do you think you could let me go? I really need to clean my hand," she muttered while looking down at her sticky hand once more. She heard the mage beside her quietly chuckle, then felt him gently press his lips to her forehead before he finally sat up and allowed her to get up. She smiled brightly at him before immediately standing up and running toward the bathroom. He watched her disappear into the bathroom before he also stood up, moving into the kitchen to wash his own hands. He had never thought in his life that he would have been able to get a woman like Lucy Heartfilia; honestly, he felt like he was going to wake up from a dream at any moment now. The only thing that reminded him that this was reality was the fact that on the way out of the kitchen he stubbed his toe on the corner of the counter.
"Fuck…," he muttered under his breath before quickly walking back to the couch in an attempt to walk off the pain. Sure, he had gone through way worse than a simple stub to the toe, but that didn't mean it hurt any less. He took his original seat on the couch once more, glancing down at his toe just before Lucy came back from the bathroom. She gave him another bright smile before she hopped into the spot right beside him. She cuddled into his side and then reached across him to grab the remote he had discarded onto the armrest before their little escapade. She rewound the movie to the beginning while mentally laughing at the fact that she just got fingered while The Grudge had been playing the background. Once she reached the beginning of the movie she quickly hit play and then put the remote back where it came from. Only this time she noticed that Midnight had closed his eyes and gone to "sleep" with his arm draped lazily over her shoulders. She leaned over slightly and gently kissed his cheek, smiling when she saw his own lips tug into a small smile of his own. She didn't care what the future had in store for them, she'd endure anything if it meant she could continue having these kind of little moments with Midnight.
A/N: Well, hi again xD Anyways, just wanted to let you all know that this is where my updates start slowing down. Also, I've decided to participate in Bixlu week, but it probably won't be anything as long as this…maybe…I don't know. Just expect some Bixlu from me when that week comes along~ Also, after editing all this I decided that the couch they are on must have been one hell of a decent sized couch .
