Loke x Lucy drabbles for LoLu Week 2015.
Day 2: Comrade
Lucy found herself in a familiar stance. To her left, she felt the heat of Natsu's fire. To her right, she felt a cold chill from Gray's ice. Ahead, Erza charged and her sword clanged. Above them all, Happy flew with Carla holding onto Wendy, and they provided aerial support.
Lucy felt protected by her friends even in the midst of battle. She did not even have to worry about her back. She felt him there, firm against her, fighting beside her. The warm yellow glow assured her he was there, ever loyal and protective over her.
She glanced over her shoulder briefly and saw the dark suit coat and mane of orange hair. He must have sensed the change in her muscles, pressed back-to-back so closely, because he glanced over as well. Lucy saw those catlike eyes shine at her from behind blue-tinted glasses.
"Never fear, your prince is here," he promised, and although she could not see much, she heard the smile of confidence in his words.
She focused back on the battle, knowing she was safe. Her friends were all around her, and Loke would always have her back.
He was more than just her Celestial Spirit.
He was her comrade.
