Chapter 2
Powerful
I'm powerful
There's so much strength in you and me
I matter
You matter
We matter
Powerful
Gray begrudgingly handed Laxus Dreyar 350 jewels. Laxus smirked and quickly passed Gray an assortment of drugs in a plastic bag. He hid the bag in his coat pocket and suddenly began to cough. Laxus lit a blunt and he blew the smoke in Gray's face.
"Want some?" Laxus asked. He held out the blunt.
Gray took the blunt and puffed it a few times before giving it back to Laxus.
God, how did he end up here? He was a A/B student, star of the basketball team, and a ladies man. Now, drug addict was added to that list. He needed the rush the drugs gave him to function at home and school. At first, he went to Laxus every few months. Gray now went to him every week. He hated Laxus with every fiber of his being, but he was the only person he could go to for drugs.
Laxus was the principal's grandson. He failed his senior year twice, but he planned to graduate this year. Gray had no idea what he would do without Laxus' drugs once he was gone. He wouldn't be able to go cold turkey - not a fucking chance. In a sick way, Gray needed Laxus.
The late bell rang and Gray cursed. He thought he still had a few more minutes of lunch left. Gray couldn't walk into class smelling like dope. Mirajane would notice and he couldn't be suspended. Too much was at risk.
"What's wrong? Got cold feet?" Laxus laughed and continued to smoke his blunt.
Gray gave him the middle finger and walked off. He didn't need Laxus' bullshit. As he walked down the hallway, he spotted Lucy Heartfilia standing by his locker. She was leaning up against it, one foot supporting her, arms crossed over chest, and her eyebrows creased in frustration. Gray admitted she looked really sexy standing like that.
"Were you waiting for me?" Gray asked in a teasing, flirtatious voice. He was thankful his stalker, Juvia Locksor, wasn't around to see this.
Suddenly, Gray felt a stinging slap across his left cheek and reeled backwards. Lucy was glaring at him. He did not need this shit. What the hell was her problem? Before he could ask any questions, Lucy began to speak in a menacing tone.
"You're a huge fucking idiot, Gray Fullbuster." Lucy began. "I can't let you keep doing drugs. You're going to get yourself killed."
"What?" Gray asked.
"Think about your adoptive mom, Ur. Think about your friend, Lyon. If you keep going to dealers, you will put your life and your loved ones lives in danger. I am only looking out for you, Gray." Lucy walked up to Gray and stroked his cheek where she smacked him. Sadness danced around in her brown eyes.
Gray felt a sudden sense of deja vu. He had this conversation before, but with who? No one else knew of his drug addiction and he just met Lucy today. Why was his heart tightening? "I should have listened to you…" Gray whispered.
Lucy stepped back. Her hands were clenched and shaking. She looked as if she had just seen a ghost. Another feeling of deja vu crept into Gray's mind. Why did this all look and sound familiar? A grainy image appeared in his mind. He could make out himself, Lucy, and - was that Laxus? - standing in the alley behind the school.
"Do I know you?" Gray asked.
Lucy faintly smiled. "Stay strong, Gray. Fight your demons. You're a powerful person." She turned away from Gray and walked out of the school.
" " " "
School was out and all Natsu wanted to do was go to bed. He felt tense and uneasy. Lucy wouldn't stop staring at him throughout the day, then she didn't show up after lunch. Mirajane didn't seem too concerned with Lucy's absence, but with Natsu and Gray's silence throughout class.
Natsu sighed and leaned up against his locker. He hated feeling irritated. What was worse was that Gajeel would annoy the living shit when he got home. Damn, he wished Gajeel wasn't staying with them.
"Natsu!" Lisanna ran up to him and smiled. Natsu began to relax. She always made him feel better.
"Hey, are you doing anything this weekend?" Lisanna asked.
"No, why?"
"Well, I got tickets to the aquarium. I was wondering if you wanted to go." Natsu blushed. Was she asking him on a date? Lisanna giggled and added, "it's not a date. I invited everyone else to come too. Even Lucy."
Natsu tensed again. "Why did you ask her?"
"Because she seems lonely." A plain and simple reason. Lisanna was an incredibly sweet person, just like her sister. "So, what do you say?"
"Sure, I'll go." Natsu said.
Natsu's stomach churned. He had a bad feeling about this.
" " " " " " " "
Natsu's tongue flicked across Lucy's chest. He circled his tongue around her nipple and bit down. Lucy moaned and dug her fingers into Natsu's back. She panted and squirmed against him.
Natsu was about to ask if she wanted to stop, but he stopped short when Lucy's soft hands pulled his pants down and cupped his length through his underwear. "Fuck…" Natsu breathed. Lucy gave a shy smile and continued squeezing his length. She was driving him absolutely crazy.
"Oh, Natsu, please" Lucy moaned. "I want you so bad"
As he kissed Lucy, he pulled down her underwear. Lucy wrapped her legs around Natsu's waist and pulled him closer to her. When there was nothing between them but skin, Natsu began to grow nervous. Lucy noticed and gave him a small peck on the cheek.
"I love you, Natsu" Lucy said.
"I love you, Lucy" Natsu said. It was all the encouragement he needed. He wanted to make love to the girl he loved, the girl he wanted to be with for the rest of his life.
Natsu slowly inserted his length inside of her and began to move. Lucy winced and encouraged Natsu to go on by kissing him and whispering sweet nothings into his ear. She moved her hips up to meet Natsu's and sprinkled love bites along his neck and chest. Their moans mingled together and Natsu began to move faster. In that final moment, when they both felt on the edge, Natsu held Lucy's hands and kissed her deeply.
He loved Lucy so much, it drove him crazy.
The first thing Natsu did when he woke up was take long, cold shower. His skin still felt scalding hot and he thought he saw a large, dark bruise on his chest, but when he looked again it was gone. He leaned his head on the wall and let the cold water run down his back in torrents.
He wasn't afraid to admit it: Lucy Heartfilia was absolutely beautiful.
Anyone would love to get her into bed. However, he wasn't that kind of guy. Romance wasn't always on his mind and he didn't have wet dreams about every single new student that transferred to his school. Lucy Heartfilia was different. Natsu saw no point in denying it any longer.
He and Lucy had a past together. He would uncover the truth no matter what.

8:30 p.m.
"Bye, everyone!" Erza called out to her coworkers. She put her apron on the hook near the door and walked out.
Erza had been working at the Magnolia Cake Shop for three months now. She originally got the job because she wanted to support her family and give her loved ones adequate Christmas presents. Now, she's found her niche in making sweets, especially strawberry shortcake, and the owner asked her to stay.
When she told her boyfriend, Jellal, about her working late, he made it his duty to meet her in front of the shop at closing time and walk her home. "It's too dangerous at night. I can't let you walk home by yourself, Erza" he said. It warmed Erza's heart to see him be overprotective of her.
Today was different however. Jellal wasn't outside waiting for her. She looked up and down the dark street for her boyfriend, but he was nowhere to be seen. Erza pouted a little bit. She needed to talk to him about something important. Maybe she could call him when she got home.
Erza began her walk home. She pulled her cellphone out of her bag and checked her messages. There was only one message from Lisanna. She sent out a group message reminding everyone that they were going to the aquarium this Saturday Erza decided that she would get to know Lucy better. The girl seemed distant...and sad. Erza hoped she could get along with the class alright.
As Erza stepped out onto the crosswalk, she began typing out a message to Jellal. "Where R U?" It read. She decided to add something else to the message and continued typing it out. Unfortunately, Erza would not be sending the message.
A car came barreling around the corner. Music blared from the car. The car's lights weren't on. Erza had no idea which direction the car was coming from. Erza looked up in surprise. The car had no intention of stopping. She was about to get hit. Erza dropped her cellphone to the ground and - she was pushed.
Lucy had pushed Erza out of the way. Where did she come from? Erza had been the only one out on the street. Lucy just saved her life. Unfortunately, the car still ended up hitting them. However, Erza was positive, if Lucy hadn't been there, she would have been gravely injured. The car speeded off into the night.
"Are you alright, Erza?" Lucy asked. She slowly sat up and grabbed her wrist. "Ow, ow, ow" she whined.
"Yes, but…" Erza trailed off. She was absolutely speechless. Lucy just saved her life.
"Well, let's go to the hospital. You're bleeding." Lucy pulled out a pink handkerchief out of her pocket and wiped the blood off the side of Erza's face. Erza blushed and looked away.
"T-Thank you…" Erza muttered. She picked up her shattered red glasses. "Those bastards are going to pay for this!"
Lucy didn't say anything as she dialed the number for the ambulance to pick them up.
10:00 p.m.
Natsu was in the middle of reading manga when his cellphone rang. Wendy was in his room again, playing with his 3DS. He decided to be nice and let her play. Before he could reach for his cellphone, Wendy picked it up first.
"Hi! This is Wendy. Who is this?" She answered in a overly done sweet voice.
"Oh, hi, Jellal."
…
"What? Are they alright?"
…
"Okay, we'll be there right away!"
Wendy hung up the cellphone and immediately bolted out of the room. Natsu was extremely confused. When Wendy came back to his room, she had on her scarf and hat. Wendy's face was red. "Erza and Lucy were in a hit and run accident. The people who did it drove off. They're in the hospital now. We have to go see them, c'mon!"
"What the fuck, Wendy? Why didn't you tell me any of this sooner?" Natsu growled. He quickly put on his shoes and scarf. Suddenly, he stumbled over his backpack and face planted into the floor. He had forgotten to put it in his closet earlier.
"Shut the fuck up, Salamander!" Gajeel yelled. He had come into his bedroom because of all the noise. "I'm trying to get some sleep."
"Nice to see you're feeling better, Gajeel." Wendy said. She smiled at him.
Gajeel ignored her and sauntered up to Natsu."Oi! Did ya hear what I said?"
Natsu leapt up and punched Gajeel in the face. His cousin was sent flying backwards into the wall. Natsu smirked and Wendy stood there in horror.
"Well, it looks like Gajeel will need to go to the hospital too" Wendy sighed.
A/N: Sorry, for the ending! It ended kind of abruptly. I wasn't sure where to end it. And that lemon was so embarrassing to write! There will probably be another later on, but I'm not sure when.
Next chapter a major secret will be revealed! And Gray and Laxus get into some major trouble. Also the aquarium outing!
Looks like things are getting interesting :)
