Chapter 10: The Loved 2 – Lemon

Due to the comfortableness of the bed in that abandoned house, Zeref and Yuuki decided to stay another night. Currently, Yuuki was showering, taking the opportunity to properly wash, and shave. Damn the cold water felt good. Being an ice wizard, Yuuki thoroughly enjoyed cold showers. After washing her hair, Yuuki stepped out of the shower, and into a towel, before leaving the bathroom.

"Nice shower?" Zeref asked, still in his own set of towels, drinking some soup Yuuki had bought from the nearby town.

"Very, how come you're still in towels?" Yuuki asked, sitting next to him.

"I just haven't gone upstairs to get dressed yet, and I was hungry so made some soup" Zeref told her.

"I didn't know you cook!" Yuuki said surprised.

"Soup is simple. You merely heat it up, am I correct?"

"Yeah" Yuuki chuckled, resting her damp head on Zeref's dry shoulder. Zeref put the bowl of soup down on the floor by the couch, before pulling Yuuki into a hug.

"You're so…warm" Yuuki chuckled, nuzzling his shoulder.

"I am?"

"Yeah"

Zeref chuckled. "I love you, Yuuki"

"I love you too, Zeref" Yuuki said, moderately surprised at his sudden display of affection. Zeref kissed her forehead.

"Hey Zeref…we're still in towels" Yuuki chuckled.

"Indeed we are" Zeref said. "So?"

"Eh, nothin' come on, let's go get dressed" Yuuki said, hopping up off of the couch. Zeref allowed himself to be pulled up the stairs and into the couple's temporary room.

((LEMON START!))

Yuuki dropped his hand, and went to pick up some of clothes, but before she did, her towel fell off. Zeref stared at her fully naked body, his face going extremely red.

"Sorry!" Yuuki yelped, her face bright red as she picked the towel and covered herself up.

"I-I…It's..o-oka-ay" Zeref stammered, unable to talk, as he continued to stare at Yuuki, even though her towel mostly covered her naked body.

But Zeref could still see enough of it to be speechless.

"What?" she asked, as Zeref was still staring at her, his mouth open like a gold-fish.

"…" Wordlessly, Zeref tackled her to the bed. Yuuki went even redder, as she felt something hard poke her thigh, as Zeref kissed her neck, before biting it, making her yelp. Settling in between her legs, he began to caress her sides. Giving into temptation, Yuuki allowed herself to be touched and kissed by Zeref – the man she loved. Zeref threw the couple's towels onto the floor, and Yuuki blushed even more at Zeref's…thing. Zeref kissed her some more, gently rubbing her breasts. Yuuki gently ran her hands along his smooth back.

Was she actually about to lose her virginity? Her innocence? To the world's darkest and most feared Mage? She smiled. He wasn't that man to her. He was the man she loved.

The two lovers caressed each other; stroking each other's skin gently.

Zeref slowly and gently pushed himself inside of her.

She whimpered softly, as he soothed her, stroking her long hair. Yuuki's moans of slight pain soon became moans of pleasure, as Zeref thrusted in her, gently stroking her side, and kissing her neck softly. Yuuki stroked his face gently, smiling at him lovingly. He returned the smile, speeding up his thrusts. The couple panted, moaning alongside each other.

"Yuuki…" Zeref moaned, kissing her neck again.

"Zeref…!" Yuuki panted, wrapping her legs around Zeref's waist, feeling something build up inside of her. Zeref felt it withing himself as well, and sped up, thrusting as hard and fast as he started screaming his name, her hands pulling his hair, as she came, along with Zeref, whose seed filled her up.

Zeref collapsed next to her, sweaty, hot and exhausted.

"That was…" Zeref began, panting.

"Good" Yuuki finished for him, also panting.

"…Yep" Zeref chuckled, closing his eyes.

The first thing Yuuki was aware of, was that she was sore all over, especially in her torso, and that her head was pounding. The pounding was so heavy it made her feel sick. She slowly opened her eyes to find Natsu's staring at hers.

"N-Natsu…the fuck you doing?" she asked him, a bit disorientated still. He leant back and grinned at her.

"Just wanted to be the first thing you saw when you woke up" he grinned.

"Erm…thanks, I guess?" she chuckled, sitting up. "Ow my head…"

"So how are you feeling?" Natsu asked in a gentler voice, leaning closer to her, his hand idly brushing hers.

"Like shit" she told him. "How long have I been out for?"

"Two days, and where do you hurt? I can ask Wendy and Porlyusica to get rid of the pain?" Natsu asked.

"It's mainly my head, its pounding like hell" she groaned.

"Shall I get them?"

"Nah, they've probably done enough for me…where's Ryfar?" the young mother asked, frowning when she didn't see her baby in his cot.

"Don't worry, Lucy's been looking after him, he's safe and well" Natsu smiled.

"Ah ok, can I see him though please? I'm sure he's missed me, and it would be nice to hold him again" she asked Natsu.

"Do you have the energy to?"

"Of course I do!" Yuuki pouted.

"Ok then, I'll get him for you" Natsu smiled, kissing her forehead. Yuuki blushed.

"Thank you, Natsu, erm, please don't…injure or burn him" Yuuki fretted.

"I won't, promise" Natsu grinned, leaving the room. Yuuki sighed, taking in the surroundings of her room. She was lucky to see Natsu, and lucky to be able to hold her son.

Heck, she was lucky to be alive.

Zeref had gone postal, literally. He had gone berserk, and attacked Yuuki, knocking her through walls, ceilings, and then strangled her, and then started beating her again. Yuuki had lost all of the fight in her at that point; so much so she couldn't even scream anymore.

And then he took out her sword from her sheathe, and stabbed her with it. He had impaled her, and left her to die, soaked in her own blood.

Yuuki smiled devilishly; Zeref would have felt that too, from the link they shared.

Good, she thought, the bastard deserves it.

"I'm back!" Natsu sang, gently holding baby Ryfar.

"Oh! Hey Natsu! Can I have him please?" Yuuki smiled.

"'Course!" Natsu grinned, as he gently placed the baby in his mother's arms.

"Hello sweetie" Yuuki cooed to her son, glad to see him again. When Zeref had lost it that first time, months ago, it was the same sort of thing.

Although the last time Yuuki hadn't told him she didn't love him.

The last time, it was just completely out of the blue; Yuuki had taken a nap, and had just woken up, when she saw Zeref hovering over their- no, her son, his hands slowly wrapping around the new-born's throat. Yuuki had jumped off, and pried him off. He had then turned in her; slapping her across the face, and then jumping on her to attempt to strangle her as well. It had almost worked, if Yuuki had not kicked him in the balls, then thrown him off, and grabbed the baby and ran. He chased her, but was much too slow, despite her carrying a new-born baby, so being even slower than usual.

That was when Yuuki should have warned the Magic Council, and then she might have been able to stop the Ultimate Magic World's creation, and protect her precious friends from the wrath of Grimoire Heart.

But she was a mother now, and had to take care of her baby.

Ryfar, despite being an adorable baby, although he was almost a year old now, took a lot out of her, especially when he had first been born. She had originally planned to see the magic council the day that the Ultimate Magic World had been created – hours before, really, but then decided against it.

Her child was after all the son of Zeref.

"Yuuki?" Natsu repeated, as the young mother gazed at her son.

"Oh, sorry, what were you saying Natsu?" Yuuki asked, her train of thoughts being interrupted by him.

"I was just saying how cute you look when you hold Ryfar" Natsu smiled, sitting on the bed next to her.

"Thanks" Yuuki blushed.

"So, are you feeling any better yet?" Natsu asked.

"Not physically, but emotional I feel better knowing my baby is ok" Yuuki told him, nuzzling her baby's forehead. Natsu smiled.

"Good" he kissed her forehead again.

In his room, Zeref was cursing himself, throwing everything he belonged across his room, punching the walls…just venting out his anger at himself, ignoring the pain he had caused himself two days prior.

The pain he caused her.

The pain she had caused him.

All he wanted was for her to feel the pain she had caused him…but he had ended up nearly killing her. And she had gone back to that man, most likely.

The new man she loved?

Zeref knew her feelings for this mystery man were strong, and growing stronger.

But no more. Zeref would not allow it to go any further. He would not have his Yuuki make love with another man, he would not let his son call someone else 'Daddy' when he learned to speak.

He would not let Yuuki love anyone but him.
