Chapter 14

Loke's POV

Lucy made her way into the waiting carriage in front of the mansion while I stood behind a bush, waiting for my chance to jump into the back. The Master sent word that she would be traveling to the Dragneel Plantation to discuss our love relationship. Break it to him personally. I don't know why, but she seemed guilty not doing it in person. She asked me not to go, but I can't just leave her. I have no idea how the young Master Dragneel would react. Who knows, maybe he's abusive and I couldn't see through his façade. Well, I'll find out soon enough.

The Master was talking to the driver now, so I took this chance to get into the trunk of the carriage. There was a hole for air. I had asked the driver personally to do this for me, in exchange for some of my portions of my meals for a week. He would let me stow away without the knowledge of the Master and Lucy and I had Levy covering my duties in the household. It was foolproof. I just had to go unnoticed at the Dragneel Plantation. That was the tricky part. But I'll wait for that to come later. For now, I pulled the trunk open and climbed in, waiting for the ride to start.

Natsu's POV

"Lucy Heartfilia is coming over for tea!" my dad screamed, barging into my room. Gray jerked up from on top of me and looked at my dad, wide-eyed, but he didn't even notice. He was too busy going into my closet and getting one of my suits. Gray rolled off of me and went to the other side of the room, onto the couch. Dad came out of the closet and threw the outfit at my face.

"Get dressed, she'll be here in about twenty minutes," he ordered before looking to Gray.

"You stay here. I'll send in Natsu's tutor and he'll begin teaching you to read."

"Since when do I have a tutor?" I asked, as Gray nodded, doing a bad job at hiding his excitement.

"Since yesterday. Your grades were sent to me a few days ago, so I decided to school you further during the summer," he replied, turning to the door. I groaned.

"He better not be boring." He chuckled.

"I can't promise anything," he replied, closing the door behind him. Gray turned to me and smiled brightly. I smiled back as I tugged on the suit. It wasn't the most formal, so it wasn't as uncomfortable as the others…..but I still hate suits.

"So what are you going to say?" he asked, as I walked over to him. He stood up and put his arms around my waist, pulling me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he gave me a kiss.

"The truth," I responded, pulling away. "She'll tell me who her slave is and all and she'll be the first outsider to know about our relationship." He pulled me down on the couch, having me straddle his waist as we kissed some more. He moaned, as the kiss deepened, tongues fighting for dominance. This was going to be a nice twenty minutes of waiting.

A few minutes later, he broke away. I tried to pull him back, but he pushed away. I groaned.

"What's wrong?" I asked. I didn't do anything wrong, did I? We were just making out.

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just wondering. Is learning to read hard?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. Damn he looked so cute. I gave him a kiss to the temple.

"Not unless the teacher sucks. If he does, just ignore him and I'll teach you," I told him, then bringing my voice down I continued. "And I got some special rewards when you do well." I brought my lips to his as he chuckled. We made out longer, ignoring everything else around us.

"Are you guys always going to do this?"

He and I jumped away from each other as Happy appeared in on the arm of the couch, blue fish in mouth, eyes taunting. My face heated up. I looked over to Gray, who looked like he was ready to explode.

"Happy! How did you get in here!?" I screamed.

"The door. You guys didn't hear me because you two were moaning so loud," he replied, shoving the fish in his mouth. My face grew hotter. This cat knows no privacy.

"Oh, and Igneel sent me to tell you to go to the parlor. He doesn't care how much free time you have left until she gets here," he continued. My blush along with Gray's disappeared.

"Oh. How much time has passed?" I glanced over to my clock. It's been fifteen minutes. I sighed. "Ok. I'll see you later." I leaned down to Gray and gave him a quick kiss before leaving.

Gray's POV

The kiss Natsu gave me left me smiling uncontrollably. Happy was staring at me, but I barely even saw him. I could only think of Natsu, his kisses and that I'm going to learn to read. Excitement filled me as I stood up and sat on the bed and waited.

A knock came on the door. Well that didn't take long. I got up and opened the door. What I saw, took me off guard completely.

In the doorway stood a beautiful woman. She had tanned skin, long blond, curled hair. Her eyes a piercing sky blue as she stared at me intently. But that wasn't what took me off guard.

What took me off guard was what she was freaking wearing! She wore a very short red sparkly dress and it had a low neck line, showing off a lot of cleavage. Her black heels were high, accenting her long tan legs. She was very beautiful.

"Are you Gray?" she asked, voice kind and sweet.

"Yeah, who are you?" I asked.

She gave me a surprised look. "I'm the tutor, of course. My name is Misaki Yagami. I was sent by Mr. Dragneel to teach you to read." She made her way to the bed and pulled out a book. "So, shall we begin?"

Natsu's POV

When I got to the parlor, Lucy was already waiting for me, wearing a guilty expression. I gave her a reassuring smile as I crossed the room to give her a hug. Reluctantly, she hugged me back. When I sat down, she had a bewildered expression which quickly turned serious, almost grave.

Awkward silenced passed between us, only to be broken by, "I hope you can forgive me."

Her head was down, so I couldn't look at her in the eye was I said, "I'm in a relationship with a slave too."

She jerked her head up, now looking me in the eye. Shock was the first expression to cross her lovely features, which then turned to confusion then to realization and then finally settling on relief. I saw her jaw unclench, her balled up fists were released and she sagged on the back of her chair. She closed her eyes, probably letting this all sink in. She put her hand up to her forehead and she sighed. She then straightened up, getting her composure back. She folded her hands on her lap and gave me a smile.

"So I guess I'm not the only one," she finally said. I grinned back.

"I would like to hear about that, if you don't mind, but maybe I should explain myself and my slave situation." I nodded and she sighed. She looked rather troubled.

"It's ok," I said reassuringly. "You don't have to be scared, or be guilty. We are in the same situation. Just take your time." She gave me a relieved smile.

"First off, I really am sorry. I know you're in the same situation, but still, it's been going on for a few weeks actually. Longer than the engagement and I felt as if I was leading you on. Again I'm sorry." She sighed. "Do you remember the slaves you met during your visit?" I nodded. "The one with the orange hair, Loke, is my lover." I raised my eyebrows at that, but she continued before I could speak. "For the past month, he and I have been meeting secretly. Levy, the blue haired slave from the visit, would be our lookout. Last night, my father had some free time that Levy wasn't aware of. She usually checks with my father's personal slave for his schedule. We were all careless, since it's been going on for so long, so when he stumbled in on us, it looked like he was ready to explode, but he soon calmed down and well, he called your dad and well, you know the rest." She gave me a shy smile as she finished.

"The media is coming this evening to ask questions about the relationship. Maybe you can come too and bring your lover." She then gave a devilish smile. "Speaking of which, now that I've told you about my situation, why don't you tell me about yours." I looked away, feeling a blush creep on my face.

"U-uh, yeah." I gave a nervous laugh. "W-well you see, my relationship is a bit different than yours. Ahem. Do you remember the slave who accompanied me on my visit to your Plantation?" I asked. Her mouth gaped open like a fish, eyes bugging out of her skull.

Then, "WHAAAAAAAT!" I gave another nervous laugh.

"Wow, I was expecting some yelling, you pissing off at me for leading you on. All the while you were also in a relationship, and with a guy. I seriously didn't see this coming. Not that I'm not happy for you!" she added quickly. "Just, wow, that's going to take time to sink in." She put her hands to her temples and rubbed her head, closing her eyes.

"Ok, let me get this straight," she said after a few minutes. "You and I are in relationships with slaves. And you are in a relationship with a guy slave?" I nodded.

"Ok, just making sure. And I thought my story was surprising. I mean, it's been years since someone tried to have a relationship with a slave. Hey, are you going to meet with the press about your relationship too?" she asked, tucking a strand of golden hair behind her ear, leaning closer. I shrugged.

"I don't know, my dad doesn't tell me about those kinds of things until the last minute. Although I could ask him to do that. I could bring Gray with me."

"So that's his name! I would really like to meet him!"

"Sure! Let's go now! I'll give you a quick tour and we'll go to my room and you can meet him!" I replied, standing up. She stood up with me and I held out my arm. She took it, smiling wide and we walked out of the parlor.

Loke's POV

I stared after them, mouth still wide open. I had to sneak in here quietly. It wasn't hard, but it was difficult to keep up with Lucy with the other slaves around. I had finally found a decent hiding spot. I didn't get to hear Lucy tell our little story but I did hear about young Master Dragneel's confession. That's what caused my mouth to drop open about three feet, eyes wide. So Gray started a relationship. Not just getting the Master Dragneel into the rebellion, but now starting a relationship as another tactic. Of course I didn't start a relationship with Lucy just as another rebellion tactic. I really do care for her; the rebellion part is just a perk, especially after the Master approved.

I followed after them quietly. So they're going to meet Gray? Good. I want to talk to him about all this.

SOOOOO

Too lazy to do the raise your hand thing so I'm just going to move on. I hope you guys liked it! I got some comments on how the last chapter was too short, so I tried making this on longer. Did it work? I hope so! So, I review, like and if there's anything I can do better, do tell! Until next chapter, Scarlet out! Love y'all
