Hello. So this is my first one shot shipping fic. it's not completely just about shipping, it's also a handful of funny moments and a few headcanons I have. while there are some certain sexual moments, they don't go to a lemony scale. like so, this is rated M due to one scene where it could get too far for a T rating. I hope you guys enjoy this garbage I created and will regret in the future.
Patroklos and Natsu were sitting by a beach on a large rug with a basket full of sandwiches and apples next to the two. This would be their first date after they've met a couple years ago, which was only due to Natsu being Leixia's friend and Patroklos needed the two artifacts Leixia and her half-brother Xiba owned to restore Soul Calibur's power. Natsu had some interest in Patroklos, fancying a man who could fight well.
"So, Patroklos, correct me if I'm wrong, but you were trained by a woman who hides a sword in her umbrella?" Natsu asked as she bit into her apple.
"Yeah. Her name is Neve. She's a very kind woman, if firm and strict whenever me and other students were practicing our horseplay." Patroklos laughed as he took a bite of his sandwich.
Natsu smiled, imagining this woman might've been like her teacher: being no-nonsense, but ultimately the greatest person anyone could think of. Although, Natsu imagined Patroklos's teacher and hers are not so much alike. Of course, Natsu scooted closer to her friend, maybe to tease him and see how he reacts. She touched his thigh with only one finger, thus making Patroklos blush and become a nervous wreck while scooting away from her..
"Woah! Easy. Guess my touch is too much for you?" She asked, half-amused and half-concerned.
"No, no. I'm just not good with women." Patroklos admitted, looking away with his face as red as Natsu's swimsuit.
"Oh, I see. Sorry. I figured you'd get an idea, but I got ahead instead. What I was thinking is we could get closer… like be able to see and whatever. Guessing you never had your Talk?" Natsu asked, keeping her hands closer to herself instead of risking anymore advancements.
"My father died before I even learned about man and woman things. Birds and bees, they call it? I never considered pursuing romance since my goal was to find my sister and atone for my crimes. Now I have the time to relax more, it occurred to me that I don't know how to talk to a woman or even be proper with them. Half of my interactions with women have been either insulting them or ignoring them if they are unimportant."
Natsu smiled before looking at Patroklos's red face. "Well, speaking of that. What led you to be on a date with me?"
"Pyrrha encouraged me to. She admitted she had a fiancé, and she wanted me to try a date with you. You've met her."
"Oh yeah. She has that arm, and she's conscious of it too. I can relate to that. Having something that makes you a freak to everyone else around you."
Patroklos nodded in agreement. He sighed and laid on the rug. "Unfortunately, it seems to be permanent. Siegfried said he had it, but after breaking free from Soul Edge it would go away. Apparently because of being born with the cursed power, for Pyrrha that arm will stay there. I sometimes wonder if our roles were reversed, would I be dead or cursed to be like Pyrrha. Honestly, I'm scared that maybe I am cursed as well, and I could've been a Plan B had Pyrrha been killed and I've fallen beyond saving."
Natsu: "At least it went well enough. I can't imagine what my situation would be if I lost control of a demonic monster sealed inside me. If that happens, then my teacher would be forced to kill me, and as serious she is, she would probably can't bring herself to do so."
Patroklos: "Why?"
Natsu: "Because I overheard my teacher and my mother talking about if that ever happens. I heard hesitation in my teacher's voice, she even mentioned how she said she tried to kill me as an infant, but she couldn't do it. Probably would've been easier to send a thousand mercenaries and hope one manages to kill me."
Patroklos: "I suppose I'm much more lucky than I thought. Then again, I have blood on my hands. My determination to avenge my mother, my desperation to find my sister, everything about me has been taken advantage of."
Natsu was quiet for a moment, before getting behind Patroklos and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Well, now you know better and you improved. Why not we stop talking about our struggles and focus on what we came here for. Don't be shy, I won't bite." Natsu teased, before she rubbed her breasts across Patroklos's back, daring to test him once more.
Patroklos blushed, but he didn't flee or make excuses. He sat there and feel her breasts on his back. Somehow for Patroklos, it was easier and less direct than when she touched his thigh.
"Speechless, huh? You must be liking it. I know I'm rushing here, but I like the idea of teasing an inexperienced man. You feel so strong and your muscles are amazing even if you're not as buff as other men." Natsu giggled before she stood back up and gets in front of Patroklos and sits with him.
"You did this before?" Patroklos asked.
"No, I have good ideas from reading some books here and there. I know they're not teaching materials, but since we're both inexperienced, I used those books as references. Do you have any ideas you'd like? As long we are not making children. I'm not ready to become a mother yet."
"Um… well. We haven't kissed yet."
"Oh, you're right. How did we miss that?" She smiled and then their lips made contact, kissing for the first time.
Patroklos overheated due to nervousness, uncertainly, and other reasons and fainted from kissing.
"Oh my god! Patroklos! Are you alright?" Natsu asked while shaking the unconscious Patroklos. "Natsu, you animal. You broke him." Natsu scolded herself before letting go of Patroklos.
Although it was a bright afternoon when their date started, Patroklos's nap lasted until sunset with Natsu sleeping next to him when he woke up, making him retreat from the ninja.
"What happened?" He asked himself, unable to remember kissing Natsu.
Natsu grumbled and woke up as well, she rubbed her eyes and smiled at Patroklos. "Good Mornin'. Or whenever."
"Natsu, what happened?" Patroklos asked as he quickly get off the ground.
"You fainted when we kissed. You are more nervous about this than we thought. You are adorable like that though."
Patroklos sighed and blushes. "Really, I fainted over a kiss? Even after you rubbed your breasts on my back?"
Natsu laughed and snorted at Patroklos's comment, and couldn't stop giggling. "Seems like it. You are so cute. A man who's atoning for his crimes can't handle a kiss from a woman close to his age. Haha!"
Patroklos was visibly flustered, nothing was more embarrassing than this and he would rather die before letting this be known to his surviving family and friends. Patroklos turned his back on Natsu while she continued to giggle.
"Why? Just why?" Patroklos commented as if he is speaking to God when he said that.
Natsu finally stopped, she leaned in to speak to her partner, she sighed with a hint of amusement and spoke to his ear: "Hey. It's okay. Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing is right or wrong way either. I've always wanted a boy to date with, but not many accept me for my looks and conditions, then there's you who is no stranger to oddities like me and your sister. I admitted that I am entertained by your shyness, but I understand there's a limit. If you want, we can stop this and just say we talked and kissed. Surely your sister didn't expect anything to happen on the first date."
Patroklos agreed with Natsu, then he gets up to stretch and ate another apple while Natsu sat by him admiring his rear end. Natsu got up after Patroklos took another bite of his apple and she headed to the water to soak for a few minutes. She called for Patroklos to invite him to be with her in the water with her. Of course this is was not with any intent with teasing or alike, just the two being in the water together. During the whole date, the two were being spied on by Pyrrha, who had concerns this date may end terribly. Fortunate for her, it was going well. Though like Natsu, Pyrrha was very amused by Patroklos's inability to be with a woman like that. She remembered how he was pretty rude to Viola and Ivy, but with nothing on his mind for now, this is a side of him she didn't know even being reunited with him for a couple of years. Pyrrha hid behind boulders and watched them, though she went to get some food when the two took a nap together. Pyrrha felt she has overstayed her welcome and would have left by now if not for her curiosity for how this date would end.
"Hey, Natsu?" Patroklos asked with a faint blush on his face.
Natsu gave him her attention, seeing how she was the one making advancements, it was only fair she listen and see what he has in store.
"For awhile, I had been thinking of you. I wasn't sure why, I thought it would've been because you guys helped me. Remember that?"
"Oh yeah. Leixia picked a fight with you because you need her amulet thing as well as Xiba's rod. I do admit I doubted her reasons because I assumed she is just crushing on you like she does on Maxi and other men clearly far older than her. I wonder how she is doing."
"Come to think of it, where are the others?" Patroklos ask, curious of Natsu's friends' whereabouts.
"Oh. Well, it's a very long story. Let's just say it escalated so much that I was practically ignored in the conversation or argument Leixia and her mother had. Turns out Leixia and Xiba are half-siblings, and she didn't take it very well. And oh boy… Maxi wasn't spared from that woman's wrath. Apparently he and Leixia's mother were friends." Natsu said, cringing at the event she witnessed. "After that, Leixia ran away from us and I tried to find her. We all did. But, she was nowhere to be found. I could tell you the whole story as far as I remember being there, but it'll probably bring down the mood we have right now."
"Probably. Although I didn't see that coming. I've figured Leixia and Xiba would kiss eventually."
Natsu coughed at that statement, remembering how that argument came to; Leixia kissed Xiba after he saved her life, but shortly after that Xianghua walked by and her horrified face was as clear as the sky during that day, and Xianghua told her children the truth. Obviously, Leixia didn't believe it at first, but further explanation made her realize what she did: she kissed her own brother.
(That memory is forever burned into their minds.) Natsu thought. "Well, let's not talk about that anymore. And it's getting very dark. Let's head back." Natsu suggested, getting out of the salt water, with her hair remained dry while her legs drip.
Patroklos got an idea to splash some of the water onto Natsu's head, she froze due to the sudden chill reaching her head, then she playfully retaliated by kicking some of the water back to Patroklos. They had a splash fight until the moon revealed itself fully. Their date ended with Patroklos kissing Natsu on a forehead. After they went their separate ways, Patroklos returned home where he was met with smoke plaguing the house, he coughed on the smoke and opened up windows to let it out. The reason? Pyrrha's cooking.
"Hey, Patroklos. I made dinner." Pyrrha announced by holding a plate of questionable food resembling a night terror a person could think of and would never eat.
Patroklos smiled unconvincingly and took the plate. He thanked Pyrrha for the food, when she turned around, Patroklos immediately tossed the food out the window with memories of catching illnesses from eating Pyrrha's cooking coming back to him.
"So, how was it?" Pyrrha asked, smiling and listening with intent.
"Food's good as always." Patroklos dodged the real question by praising Pyrrha's cooking.
"No. The date. Did anything… sparked?"
"NO! No, no, no. We didn't do anything like that. The Worse was simply Natsu rubbing her breasts on my back."
"And then kissed you and you fainted…" Pyrrha blurted out with a chuckle before realizing she implied she was spying on her brother.
"Wait… you spied on me? What else did you see?"
"Nothing! I certainly didn't see you two sleep and played in the water, and something about Leixia and Xiba? Who are they?" Pyrrha lied so poorly, not even the most gullible could buy her lie.
"Pyrrha. I cannot believe you would do that." Patroklos sighed before sitting down on a chair with a missing leg.
"I'm so sorry. I wanted to make sure I don't have to take matters into my hands."
"And what does that imply?"
"I thought I may have to pull a Patroklos." She said.
"Pull a— how did you come up with that? Was it Viola who told you that?"
"Sorry. I thought I may have to kill her if she turned out to be a horrible woman like the one about to barge in through our window."
Patroklos was left puzzled, then Tira broke through a window and announce her presence. One may expect Pyrrha and Patroklos to react appropriately to an intruder, but both Patroklos and Pyrrha were indifferent to her breaking into their house and more concerned about the window. Pyrrha even shoved her infamous cooking into Tira's mouth, making her vomit and suffering stomach pains. Before Tira could curse, Pyrrha just grabbed Tira by her braided pigtails and kicked her out of the house like an owner tossing their cat out. Pyrrha sighed and grabbed a chair.
"Okay. That was the 6th time this month. We need to do something about that bitch." Patroklos agreed.
Pyrrha nodded in agreement and looked to Patroklos. "So, when am I becoming an aunt?" She asked casually.
