Lucy quickly settled into a routine. Her morning coffee with Gray as they walked to University, classes, lunch, library, then more classes. On most evenings, she found herself with Gray having a drink at the pub, or eating dinner on Lucy's living room floor playing board games. She would occasionally grab an after-class beer with some of the other students, or go out with Wendy for a meal, but invariably, she'd run into Gray there too – inevitable in their small campus town. She managed to talk to Laxus on most days, and as the days apart turned to week, the couple would stretch each call as much as possible, desperate for more time with each other. Every call ended with a pained goodbye as both hearts broke just a little bit more. It had been over two months since Laxus had dropped Lucy off at University – two months since Lucy had last held him, touched him, kissed him. There were enough nights where she cried herself to sleep, her phone beside her head, aglow with a photo of Laxus.
Lucy missed Laxus so much that it physically hurt – a sharp pain in her stomach that shot up into her chest. But the pain wasn't the worst part. It was the intense, crushing, debilitating guilt that came with the realization that she wasn't always in pain. In fact, there were enough moments in the day when the pain faded into an almost indistinguishable throb, and a few times, very briefly, she even forgot that she was in pain. On the surface, Lucy knew this was a good thing. She knew Laxus wouldn't want her to always be sad. He'd want her to go out, make friends, and enjoy herself. She knew he'd want that for her, because it's what she wanted for him. The pain occasionally ebbing wasn't why she felt guilty.
There was a single reason why her pain would magically go away, and his name was Gray. Slowly, Lucy found herself beginning to crave his company. Whenever she was alone and missing Laxus, Gray would show up, and suddenly, Lucy would feel better. Slowly, Gray began taking up most of her day, and she didn't have a single complaint about it. Breakfast, dinner, assignments, drinking, movies, she did everything with Gray. Short of staying the night at one another's homes, they became nearly inseparable.

It was a Friday evening and Lucy and Gray were at the library, making headway on a paper they had due. As she researched theories of motivation and their efficacies, a message bubble popped up on her screen. Lucy grinned widely. Laxus had texted, asking what she was up to. Just seeing his name made butterflies erupt in her stomach. She shot back a message, saying she'd call him in a minute before pushing her chair back and grabbing her phone. Gray looked up at her inquisitively as she stepped away from the table. As he moved to take off his earphones, Lucy pointed at her phone and mouthed "Laxus". With a nod, Gray returned his attention to his laptop.
Lucy made her way out of the library and to a nearby bench before dialing Laxus's number. He answered on the first ring.
"Hey baby," he said, a smile tinging his voice.
Lucy's skin erupted in goosebumps. "Hi lover," she purred. "How are you?"
"I'd be better if you were here," he quipped.
"So soon, baby. Just another few weeks, and then it'll be winter break and I'll be with you and we will never leave bed!"
"That's my little sex freak," Laxus laughed, "I can't wait until winter break though, baby."
"I know," Lucy said sadly. "But I promise, the days will go by really fast and we'll be together before you know it."
"That's not what I meant, Heartfilia," Laxus's voice suddenly dropped, low and dangerous. "I can't wait until winter break to see that pretty pussy of yours. I need to see it sooner," he growled.
"Sooner?" Lucy choked out, heat quickly pooling between her legs. She squeezed her thighs together tightly.
"Tonight. 8PM. Wear something… skimpy."
"Yes sir," Lucy whispered, biting her lip.
"See you later, darling," Laxus breathed before hanging up.

Lucy had hurriedly left the library after her call with Laxus, telling Gray she had to go take care of something. She laughed quietly to herself at the possible double entendre. Rushing back home, she tore through her closet, rummaging in her drawers before she found what she was looking for. Slipping the soft satin over her head, Lucy admired herself in the mirror. A black negligee that stopped just below her butt, with a lacy balcony bra that did little to cover her breasts. Her pink nipples were clearly visible under the fabric, stiff and puckered in anticipation.
She poured herself a glass of wine before settling in bed. Her laptop sat open in front of her and after a shaky sip, she navigated to the email from Laxus with the meeting link. Strangely, Lucy was nervous. She realised that, despite being apart for long stretches at a time, they had only ever had phone sex. This was the first time they'd be doing it over a video call. Something about watching Laxus come all over his hand as he gritted out her name made her feel so naughty. She squirmed in bed, feeling herself grow wet. With a click, the meeting window opened, and two seconds later, Laxus's face appeared on the screen.
"Hey there sexy," she cooed. "Push your laptop back so I can see more of you." Obediently, Laxus followed her instruction. Once her laptop was also sufficiently adjusted, she took a minute to eye-fuck her boyfriend. He was shirtless, in loose basketball shorts. She could already see a slight swell in his crotch, and it seemed to get bigger the longer she looked at it.
"You're fucking stunning," Laxus rasped.
Lucy's eyes snapped up to meet his. "Me?" she asked incredulously. "Look at you! Fuck," she pushed her hair back with a sigh.
"You know what I realised?" Laxus asked with a chuckle.
"What?"
"We've never done this before. Like… this. Video," he said, almost as if he were shy.
"I know," Lucy smiled. "So… what do you want me to do first… sir?" she said coyly.
Instantly, Laxus's demeanor changed. Gone was the sweet, gentle man who made her heart flutter. Now, he was the sexy, domineering beast who made her pussy clench with need.
"Sir? I like that," he growled. "Slip the straps off your shoulders, but nothing more."
Heady with lust, Lucy slowly dropped one strap and then the other.
"Good girl," Laxus whispered, palming his growing bulge. "Get your arms out, and let the dress fall off you." His breath hitched as Lucy's tits came into view. His erection was almost uncomfortable in his shorts.
"Squeeze your tits for me baby, pull on those gorgeous nipples." His voice was strained as he reached into his shorts.
Lucy grabbed her breasts hungrily. Rolling her nipples between her fingers, she gyrated her hips. "I need to see you," she said desperately.
Happily obliging, Laxus pushed his shorts down his thighs, letting his sizeable cock spring free.
"Touch yourself," Lucy pleaded, one hand drifting down her taut stomach towards the edge of her panties.
"Sit back and spread your legs. I want to watch you finger yourself," Laxus instructed as he gently tugged his dick.
Lucy leaned against her pillows and slowly spread her knees, revealing a thin strip of damp cloth. A long, ragged inhale dragged through Laxus's lips.
"You're so beautiful, baby," he said reverentially.
"Tell me what you would do to me," Lucy whispered.
With a shaky inhale, Laxus dropped his gaze to Lucy's legs. "I'd kiss your legs. Starting at your ankle, up towards your knee, and down your thigh."
In response, Lucy slowly trailed her finger up her leg, tracing the path created by Laxus's words.
"I'd move up, kissing your neck, then your ear, your nose, your cheek, and finally, your lips."
Lucy's finger continued its journey over her body, following Laxus. The man was now pumping his manhood more firmly.
"I'd kiss my way down your chest, over your tits. I'd lick your tits, circling your nipples with my tongue. Then, slowly, I'd lick my way down your stomach and to your panties. Take your panties off, baby. Let me see you."
Lucy hooked two fingers into her underwear and pushed it down to her ankles before kicking it off. She spread her legs once more, showing off her glistening core.
"You're so wet, baby," Laxus groaned. "I bet you taste so good."
Teasingly, Lucy ran a finger along her slit, briefly dipping it inside her. She pulled it out, with a sheen coating the tip. With her gaze locked onto Laxus, she ran her tongue over her wet finger, tasting her arousal.
"I do taste good," she said with an appreciative moan.
"Fuck…" Laxus groaned, his eyes fluttering shut. He tipped his head back, moaning as he rapidly jerked his hand up and down his massive length.
"That's so fucking hot," Lucy breathed. Her fingers quickly found her clit and she began rubbing in earnest.
Laxus looked at Lucy, and immediately locked onto her fingers rapidly circling her clit. In turn, Lucy watched intently as Laxus stroked him.
"That's it baby, fuck your hand. Fuck it like you'd fuck me," Lucy gritted out. Spurned on by her words, Laxus picked up the pace, his hand a blur as he jacked his cock.
"Fuck Laxus, I love watching you fuck yourself," Lucy moaned. With one hand violently rubbing her clit, she reached her breasts with the other, pulling and pinching the soft flesh. She could feel an orgasm building in her stomach. Laxus's grunts and moans were sending her into a frenzy as he bucked his hips into his fist.
"Fuck Lucy, I miss your pussy so fucking much. I've fucked my hand every night, counting down the days until I can bury myself in you. I can't wait until your pussy is quivering around my cock and you're screaming my name."
"Please don't stop baby," Lucy cried, her legs trembling with the impending orgasm. "I want to watch you cum. Cum for me, baby," she pleaded as she pumped two fingers into her.
As if on cue, Laxus threw his hand back with a groan, his hand stilling at the base of his dick, gripping tightly. With a shaky moan of her name, jets of white cum exploded out of him, landing on his stomach and chest. It was the most erotic thing Lucy had seen, and just when she thought it couldn't get hotter, Laxus scooped his cum off his chest and used it to continue stroking his dick.
"That was fucking amazing, sweetheart," Laxus whispered. "You're so fucking sexy, baby. Watching you finger fuck yourself… fuck, I'm going to dream about it for years. Now be a good girl and cum. Close your eyes and pretend it's my fingers fucking you. Let me make you feel good baby. Fuck yourself faster… that's it. Moan, sweetheart. Let me hear you moan my name. You like feeling those fingers inside you? Yeah? Put another one in. No, baby, don't open your eyes. Keep them closed and do as I say. Fuck yourself faster. With your other hand, I want you to rub your clit. Go faster. Keep going faster until you're about to cum, but don't. You are not allowed to cum without my permission, understood?"
With her eyes still closed and both hands buried between her legs, Lucy nodded. Her face contorted beautifully as waves of pleasure crashed over her. She fucked herself, imagining it was Laxus's strong fingers plunging into her. He continued to whisper sexy nothings as she climbed towards her peak. Soon, she felt the familiar tightening of an orgasm and she choked out "Laxus, can I come?"
"Not yet, baby. Just a few more seconds, please. You look so beautiful," Laxus whispered.
Lucy let out a shaky exhale, continuing her rapid ministrations. Her orgasm was becoming harder to stave off.
"Laxus, now please?" she begged. He chuckled, but didn't respond. She needed to cum, desperately, and so she was about to beg again when he said the magic words.
"Cum, baby." And with that, Lucy arched off her pillows, and slammed her knees shut. A throaty, ecstatic moan left her as her toes curled and back bowed.
Several seconds later, Lucy fell back against the pillows, her body still trembling with the aftershocks of her orgasm.
"That was amazing," she gasped,
"It was, baby. It really was," Laxus replied with a gentle laugh.
"We should do that again," Lucy said, smiling wickedly at her boyfriend.
"Fuck yes, we will," came the enthusiastic reply.

Now satisfied and pleased, the couple leisurely pulled their respective clothing back on as the conversation veered to the latest happenings in their lives.
"How's Gray?" Laxus asked as he adjusted his shorts and settled back into bed, shifting his laptop onto his lap.
"He's good," Lucy said as she adjusted the straps of her negligee. "We have a paper coming up, so we were in the library for a lot of the day."
"Is he giving you special treatment and letting you off easy in the class where he's your TA?" Laxus joked.
Lucy laughed. "I wish! I mean really, what's the point of having your best friend as your TA if he won't cut you some slack! It's quite unfair," she joked, rolling her eyes.
"Best friend, huh?" Laxus asked casually. Lucy suddenly became very alert. While there was no change in Laxus's tone, it suddenly felt like something had shifted. An admission that she hadn't even made to herself yet. Her earlier guilt resurfaced. She took a second before replying.
"Uh, yeah, I guess… I don't know, it's been a while since I've had a best friend…"
"And we all know how that turned out," Laxus muttered.
Natsu, Lucy sighed.
"Laxus…" Lucy whispered.
The blond dropped his head, running a hand through his hair. "I'm sorry, that was a low blow," he said sincerely, looking up at his girlfriend. "I just… I guess I didn't realise how close you two were. It's only been a couple months, after all."
Lucy nodded comfortingly. "No, I know. You're right, I haven't known him that long, but he's my friend. He's definitely the best friend I have here. I was so scared I'd be lonely here, but with Gray I'm not. I feel like I have a support system here, and it's made this entire situation so much easier."
"Lucy," Laxus cut her off, "you do not have to justify your friendships to me, and I am so sorry that I made you feel like you needed to. I am glad you have Gray in your life. I'm glad you have a friend whom you trust and whom you can turn to. I trust you, and I love you."
Tears sprang to Lucy's eyes. The sting of guilt faded into pure love for her amazing boyfriend. "I love you so fucking much Laxus Dreyer. You're my whole world."
"And you are mine, darling," he smiled affectionately. "Listen, it's getting late here. I have an early shoot tomorrow. Apparently the models have a morning horse riding challenge."
"Horse riding? That sounds interesting," Lucy giggled.
"I'm praying that it'll just be the girls on horses, but given the way this competition is going, my money is on a challenge infinitely more absurd," Laxus groaned.
"Well, call me tomorrow and let me know how it went!"
"I will, sweetheart. Talk to you soon. Goodnight, I love you," Laxus said, a tinge of melancholy colouring his voice.
"I miss you too, baby," Lucy echoed. "I love you. Goodnight."
She smiled as her beautiful man winked at her before logging off. With a ding the screen went black. Sighing sadly, Lucy hit the end call button and shut her laptop. She was reaching for a hair tie when the doorbell rang.
Suddenly, the sadness was replaced by excitement.
Gray? she wondered expectantly.
Quickly tying her hair into a messy bun, she rushed to the door, opening it to reveal Gray and a takeout bag.
"Hey Lu– oh shit!"
A/N: This update is about three and a half years late. I don't even know if people still read this, or if the ones who did still care. Probably not. Oh, well, I cannot control my muse. Couple things I want to clarify - 1) I will try my level best to not abandon this again. I will try and give it its due, and do justice by these characters. That being said, life may get in the way. Which is why I will upload chapters as I write them. The next one will hopefully come quickly. 2) It has been a long time since I last watched Fairy Tail. Since this is AU and really, the only similarities my characters bear to the originals are the names and broadly the physical appearance. I may inadvertently stray rather far from the original when it comes to side characters, as I just don't remember all the more minor characters in Fairy Tail. I will do my best to cross check and ensure I am using characters from the original universe, but I may slip up and throw a random name like "Kevin" in there.
Finally, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I had fun getting back into this world!
