The Stick Game Returns!
How her "punishment" went.
The nights had seemed to grow easier to sleep through as the month went along. She had grown quite used to this and dare I say quite fond of it too, though she would never admit it. She enjoyed waking up next to a warm heat source that had always been there every morning as she rose from her slumber. However, she had a plan for revenge. Though she may enjoy waking up next to Natsu every morning, she acted as if it was the worst thing that could ever happen to her, and she knew exactly what she was going to do to get revenge.
One Month Later
"Hey guys? How about we all go on a mission?" Lucy said while holding up a mission slip that had low reward but should take a full day.
"Sure, im up for a mission." Natsu looking at the others who nodded there heads in agreement.
"Alright, we leave in two hours. We will all meet at the train station and bring a change of clothes, I have a feeling we may be having to spend the night at a hotel." Erza said remembering that it was one month and a day ago that Lucy's punishment wore off. How it activated her that they still hadn't even said a word about how they felt to each other.
"Alright, see you in two hours." Lucy said as she ran out of the guild to go pack.
At The Train Station
"This should be fun, and luckily I paid my rent last week!" Lucy said as she remembered the low pay for this job.
"Yeah, I can't wait to put those jerks in jail then go and try some of the food!" Natsu said drooling at the thought.
"I wonder if there are any new types of fish!" Happy said drooling with Natsu.
"You guys do realize were not going very far away right?" Lucy said realizing they were ignoring her.
"Its alright let's just go!" Gray said as he boarded the train with the others following.
Back At The Hotel
"Same sleeping arrangements as before... That we had at the beginning I presume?" Erza said already in pajamas and standing in front of two similar rooms as before.
"Juvia thinks we should have the same sleeping arrangements that we had at the end of the night." Juvia said while grabbing on to Grays arm.
"Well how about we take a vote? All in favor of before the game raise your hand." Erza said as her, Wendy and Happy raised there hands.
"And all who want it the same as afterwards raise your hand." Natsu, Juvia, and Gray raised there hands. Poor Lucy had been to busy thinking of what she was going to do to them when or if they played The Stick Game tonight, that she missed the voting. As she cane to she saw some of her friends raising there hands, unknowingly she raised her hand too, thinking it was a vote for who wanted to play The Stick Game.
Erza looked a little shocked at Lucy's, late, vote. She thought for sure she would be the one to make it so they would have the sleeping arrangement that they had before the game. "Well u guess its settled then, Natsu and Lucy in one room, Gray and Juvia in the fold-out bed in the living room, Wendy and I in the beds in the normal room and Happy on the pillow bed again." Erza said as she entered the hotel room that she was in.
"Wait what?" Lucy said just realizing what she has voted on. 'Shit' she thought as she looked up to see Natsu grinning at her.
"So, you do like sharing a bed with me then? Wow Luce I didn't expect that out of you." Natsu whispered in Lucy's ear, then turned and walked into there room.
After Getting Settled
Natsu and Lucy walked into the other hotel room to find everyone just sitting around board.
"Hey, why are you guys all so glum?" Lucy said as she walked over and sat in a chair.
"Nothing to do." Wendy said looking at Lucy as if expecting an answer.
"Aye" Happy added trying to be a part of something.
"Well, why don't we play The Stick Game again?" Lucy said trying not to think of everything that she planned to do to the people who gave her "The Punishment".
Erza's head popped out of the bathroom, with conditioner still bubbling in her hair. "Did someone just recommend The Stick Game? Erza shouted, clearly very excited.
"Lucy did it!" Happy shouted, scared that Erza was pissed that someone wanted to play that game.
"I was hoping someone would want to play again!" Erza said as she quickly rinsed off and came out in pajamas again. She ran to one of her many suitcases and pulled out the bag containing the sticks.
"Does everyone remember the rules?"
Alow me to remind you of how the stick game works. Each person draws a stick. One of the sticks is enchanted though, giving the person that drew that stick complete control of the people around them. However, each person has one guess to guess who it is that has the power. If they guess correctly, then they get the power and the guesses respawn. You never know if the person has changed or not, making it so you don't want to guess too hastily and no one knows who you guess. After it changes, what the person before did remains until someone either changes it or the game is over. The game ends when someone gives up, and then they have to be given a punishment selected by the rest of the group.
"Yeah" they all said in unison, apparently okay with playing.
"Alright," Erza said as she laid all the sticks out on the ground. Everyone grabbed a stick.
"Let the game, begin!" They all said hoping that they would get the starting power. Soon, Gray felt pure energy course through him.
'Natsu, tell us what you were doing with Lucy when we split up into groups on the mission' Gray thought, hoping it was something embarrassing.
"Lucy got hurt when we split up and she passed out so I had to carry her around until she woke up. She was actually kinda cute and kept snuggling up to me while she was unconscious." Natsu started going on and on about where they went, how many turns they took, how Lucy almost fell out of his arms once and he had to put her so she was holding onto his neck. 'Alright, to draw attention away from myself, Gray start hugging Juvia like she was about to die.' Gray thought to himself, immediately he wrapped his arms around her and began to ball and blubber about how she couldn't leave him and how she was the love of his life. 'Alright Lu-' Wendy guessed it! She knew someone who affected Natsu and then Gray had to be someone drawing attention away from themselves.
'Lucy, tell us what you truly thought of your punishment.'
"I rather liked my punishment, it was nice being next to warmth every morning and night." Lucy said wanting to slap herself.
'Oh really,' Wendy thought, having her very small evil side come to play. 'Lucy, lie your head down in Natsu's lap and snuggle up to him'
Lucy lied down in the lap of the still blabbering Natsu, and pulled her knees up. She put one hand on top of his leg, and the other crossed underneath and layed along the side of his leg. He didn't mind much, in fact he didn't even flinch, he just kept talking and taking.
'Natsu shut up' Wendy's mean side had started to take over her mind while she had the power.
'Erza, take Happy, and act like your a five year old that loves cats more than anything in the world.' Wendy thought and slowly felt the power drain out of her, she was the only one not involved in anything, making it obvious that it was her. The one who had received the power, Lucy. It was payback time. 'Wendy, act like Cana. Juvia, say that Gray is the meanest person you ever met. Erza, requip into your seductive armor. Happy, go take a fish and throw it away without eating a bite.' And as that long list of orders went out all at once, Lucy felt satisfied now that she had her revenge. Natsu was sitting there stroking her hair as he took in the area around them. Gray had started to cry even harder after Juvia had said that, Erza was sitting on the table doing sexy poses. Happy seemed like he was about to cry as he walked to the trash can with a fish, and Wendy was screaming "Where's the Booze!"
Natsu leaned down and whispered in Lucy's ear. "Its you." He said quiet as possible and he felt the power drain into him. He knew it was her cause she had done something to everyone, besides the two of them who had been sitting there peacefully while utter chaos erupted around them.
"Lucy, no matter what orders you get don't leave my side. Natsu, no matter who takes your power, don't let them disturb Lucy.' He thought so they could stay like this for a long time. He was amazed Lucy hadn't taken the power back but he figured she was satisfied with what she had already done to there friends. Natsu, still stroking her hair, whispered, are you okay with that order?" Her only response was snuggling into his lap a little more, as if saying that she was happy like this. Right after he had whispered in her ear for the second time, he felt the power drain from him.
As he expected, someone had guessed it and was ready to reek havoc. Erza. She knew it was him cause she saw him lean down to Lucy twice, he normally would only say something to her once in a game like this. 'Gray, you can stop whatever your doing' She said looking very disturbed by the scene on the couch. 'Lucy, go get Wendy a beer' Erza thought. As she waited, nothing happened. 'Lucy, go get Wendy a beer!' She tried again. 'Nice going Natsu.' She had realized the order he had given her, whilst he had the power. 'Fine then, Erza requip into your every day armor and go drag Lucy off of Natsu's lap' she thought. She soon walked over there and right before she was about to reach for Lucy's arm, #Slap# Natsu slapped her across the face. She tried again with the same result. 'Retreat' she thought. She realized that he had thought this through and for the first time ever, was correct in his calculations.
By making it so Lucy wouldn't leave his side, he had made it so she couldn't accept any orders that would make her leave the main area of floor they were at, and by Natsu ordering himself to not let anyone disturb her, he made it so he would be able to protect her from anyone dragging her by force. 'Wendy, sober up and go get Gray a tissue' she said as she looked over at the boy who was puffy eyed and had a runny nose that slowly started to freeze.
She soon felt the power flow out of her. She had just been standing there taking in her surroundings. Gray felt the power flow through him again. 'Lucy, start playing with Natsu's hair.' Gray thought while thanking Wendy for a Tissue she had brought him. Lucy sat on Natsu's lap and began to run her fingers through his soft hair. He checked to see if she felt like this was to much for her and she just kept petting him. 'Now Natsu, lie your head on her shoulder and hug her.' Gray thought as he then directed his attention elsewhere. 'Erza, how often do you visit Jellal a week?' He thought and Erza soon said aloud. "Did you guys know that I visit Jellal 5 times a week?"
Soon someone else guessed it. Erza, yet again, had her detective skills on and guessed it cause Gray was glaring at Natsu instead of doing something. 'Lucy, start moving your bottom around on Natsu's lap.' She thought and soon saw Lucy begin to shake back and forth. Natsu whispered into her ear again. "Are you okay with this?" He said trying not to give in to her warmth against his legs.
"I-I..." Lucy said turning a bright red. That was all Natsu needed, he couldn't let them do this to her.
"I GIVE UP!" Natsu yelled as he picked up Lucy and set her on the floor beside him.
Yet again, everyone looked at him with evil eyes, even Wendy. But he didn't care. He did it for a reason that he was proud of. "Huddle up!" Erza yelled and they all gathered around her.
"Okay, so what sets the two of them off is when they mess with the other. So, what should we do?" Happy said, with an evil glare at his partner.
Yet again, the other one of the two of them had not joined the huddle. She was still sitting there bright red apologizing and thanking Natsu for making sure she was okay.
"I got it!" Wendy said, her evil side taking time to fade. "What if we made him have to be Lucy's man-servant for 3 weeks!"
Everyone looked at Wendy in amazement. They never thought her of all people could come up with something so diabolical yet so perfect.
They all looked over to Natsu and Lucy, only to see him giving her a hug and whispering into her ear.
A Couple Minutes Back
"I'm so sorry, if I would just learn to toughen-" Lucy was cut off by Natsu's lips meeting hers. He held her close, so close that he could feel her pajama shirt up against his exposed flesh in between his cloak like shirt. They broke the kiss and held each other close.
"Toughen up? Lucy, your one of the strongest girls I know! Not only are you smart and beautiful, but you stand up for your friends. Instead of having your spirits fight for you, you fight alongside them. When you walk into a room, people smile cause they see a girl who loves everyone and would never let someone down. Its one of the many reasons that I... That I love you!" Natsu whispered into her ear. She sat, shocked by his words. Had he ever been this much of a romantic?
"I love you too." She whispered back as she hugged him closer. "Please, don't ever leave my side." She said, as a few tears rolled down her face.
"I never will." Natsu said and then herd everyone turn to face them.
They paused for a second then Gray broke the silence. "You done over there?" He said with a snicker.
Natsu stood up ready for punishment, he had the most serious look on his face that anyone had ever seen. "What is my punishment?" He said as if he was in jail.
Everyone paused for a second. Then they all dropped laughing. "That face!" Wendy laughed, not able to stop, "just that face!"
Natsu shook out of it, here he was, trying to face this head on, only to find his friends laughing there butts off at him. Even Erza was laughing, but soon recovered.
"Ahhem" she said clearing her throat. "Your punishment will be..." she paused to stifle back a laugh as Natsu regained that face, "You have to be Lucy's man-servant for 3 weeks!" She said. Then fell on the ground laughing. 'Was that really the best they could come up with?" Natsu thought. 'I don't mind this at all.'
Later In There Rooms
Juvia & Gray
"I wonder why it always ends up with me blubbering like an idiot when it comes to that game?" Gray said aloud.
"Juvia dosnt mind, in fact, Juvia is quite touched that you would be that upset if Juvia was about to die." Juvia said making Gray turn 60 shades of red.
Erza & Wendy
"Do you think Natsu even minds the fact that he has to be Lucy's servant?" Wendy asked as she climbed under the covers.
"No but it should speed the process along of them confessing. Much like Lucy's punishment did." Erza said while lying down.
Natsu & Lucy
"Hey, are you okay with this punishment?" Lucy asked as she slid under the covers.
"Of course I am Miss. Heartfillia." Natsu said bowing and flashing his signature smile.
"Okay my first order then is to not change at all." She said smiling back. "That means, no making me breakfast in the morning unless I ask, no acting like im all high and mighty. Nothing like that. Just stay the normal, fun loving, energetic Natsu that I fell in love with okay?" She said sitting up a bit.
"Your wish is my command my lady." He said. Lucy shot him a faint evil eye and he raised his hands as if to say "Okay okay im done.".
Natsu climbed into bed next to Lucy and pulled her up next to him. She snuggled close to his warm chest and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Hey guys. So that ended up WAY longer than I expected it to be. Stupid imagination and romantics kicking in whenever I write something even the slightest bit Nalu. But either way I hope you enjoyed and please leave a review of weather you want another chapter and if so what I should incorporate in it. I'll hopefully be uploading the second chapter of "The Newcomer" tomorrow and hope those of you who haven't read it I would hope you do. Other than that, thanks for reading, please leave a review and tell me whether you want more "The Stick Game" or more of something else. Maby you want me to write a Fan Fiction about a different ship. I will never know unless you leave a review. Thanks and Chow!
