Coming back to campus after a week of doing nothing and lounging around was a bit depressing. Juvia was sad to part from everyone but of course she was promised to be reunited very quickly. Levy had been able to keep her punches to a minimum as she wished Gajeel a sweet goodbye, the towering pierced male giving her an affection ruffle to the hair.
Natsu was happy to be off the death mobile and was excited to be back. Mainly because he wanted to rub it in and brag about his bombshell of a girlfriend (he swears he won't get tired of calling her that) and that Lucy Heartfillia was officially off the market. Well officially in the books, now, because she was always his even without the title.
It was big news for everyone. Cheers of 'finally!' and 'about time!' coursing through everyone and Natsu couldn't be prouder of his accomplishment. He felt as if he was winning an academic award or a grammy as people patted him on the back and congratulated him. He got hammered at ten in the morning thanks to it and he had crawled back into his girlfriend's (Natsu wouldn't shut the fuck up about it) bed and he was happier than a fat kid who loves cake.
He showered Lucy in love, not afraid to express his love and affection for the blonde(not like he did before) but it was now free game because she was his girlfriend!
He was over the moon!
His first ever girlfriend who he knows for sure isn't gay! (He kept his eye on Levy)
He even called Lisanna to brag about it and the said woman just gushed about how she would love to meet her but Natsu made her promise she wouldn't steal her away and she just laughed obnoxiously over the phone.
Natsu still wasn't sure if this was love; Lucy was right. How can two whores who have never been in love be in love? It felt like love. Of course they've talked about it more (much to Lucy's dismay since Natsu liked to whine about it) and in conclusion they had decided they have really, really strong feelings towards each other. Maybe love. Maybe not.
They decided it was too complicated to pick at especially since they just became official and decided within the six month mark (Natsu had googled how long it takes to know when you're in love) that they would revisit the whole "i love you" portion.
Gray and Gajeel were of course happy for their bro. Not happy when he first announced it because he had busted in their room late at night only in his boxers screaming in their faces. After the wrestling match, they finally were able to celebrate the next day with a bunch of booze and a bunch of sex. Juvia and Levy had Lucy throwing up before noon and Natsu was practically blacked out drunk jumping in the pool naked by eleven.
Now Gajeel and Gray were sweating as they realized Natsu had made the first move and they were falling behind with their lady friends. They had whispered to one another when everyone was preoccupied with Natsu and Lucy and they had agreed they had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.
Gray had given Lucy a huge hug and congratulations the next morning. Juvia continued to call the blonde her love rival even with the title girlfriend and the duo got tired of it so they just waved her off. Levy was in tears holding the flustered blonde and Gajeel had given her a nice slap on the back (which she screamed at him for) but it was his own way of saying congratulations.
But now as they had returned back for the last couple weeks left before summer break, Gray and Gajeel were on edge.
Levy had been acting somewhat weird and Gajeel couldn't understand why. Every time he tried asking she kind of brushed him off or walked away and it irritated the hell out of him. He tried to corner bunny-girl but she fucking wasn't any help, claiming that's not her business to say and would shove him away. Natsu had warned him to fuck off and he just gave up cornering her. He had cornered Juvia at some point and she laughed at him so he walked off because nobody fucking laughs at Gajeel Redfox.
Soon, he found himself sitting with Gray and drinking with him at two in the afternoon because the said metal head had called him to the local bar for some serious talk.
Gray thought he was in trouble for a second and almost didn't come but he decided he wasn't a fucking pussy and Gajeel did not scare him. So as the two sat at the local bar and sipped straight whiskey, it was quiet and very awkward.
"So, are you breaking up with me?" Gray joked and Gajeel glared at him.
The said exhibitionist looked away, regretting his words as he took a long, loud sip from his drink.
"We need to talk about the girls." His gruff voice was masked behind his own drink. "Salamander made the first move and I know the girls are talkin'. I think that's why Levy is so snippy these days." His eyes narrow at the mention of his own girl.
"I—I don't know what you're talking about," Gray tried to hide his stutter by clearing his throat. "Juvia and I are fine."
"So, what? You're not going to make it official?"
"Why make it official? We're fine as we are." Gray muttered under his breath and he was pissed his drink had disappeared. He waved for the bartender for a refill and he let out a sigh. "Why don't you just ask Levy out?"
"It ain't that easy," Gajeel mumbled and his grip on his cup tightened. "I think she deserves better."
"I think anyone can easily say that," Gray said, which made the pierce male jab his elbow into his side. Gray yelped and gave him a rough shove, scowling. "I mean that everyone says that! They think their partner deserves better." He glared, rubbing his ribs. "Shit."
"I don't know any of this relationship bullshit." Gajeel downed his own glass to grab the one the bartender had passed to Gray. He shouted a protest but Gajeel didn't care as he downed that glass immediately to snap at the bartender to bring two more.
"I mean, does anybody?" Gray grumbled, still upset about his glass being taken while he fiddled with the basket of peanuts. "Flame-brain and I were whores who only fucked girls and you were some virgin pussy—" he ignored the warning that flew out of Gajeel's lips. "And we have women who are kicking our ass into shape. It's hard to process and understand but I think they're good for us. Lucy keeps that idiot in check and she can handle him. Levy sure as hell can handle you which is surprising because look at her and then look at you—" he also ignored Gajeel's aggressive question. "and I sure as hell don't deserve Juvia. She accepts every part of me and she can keep up which a lot of girls couldn't."
"But you never were looking for a relationship."
"Right. I never did and still wasn't. Juvia just came out of nowhere and kind of blindsided me. I wasn't even so sure I liked her like that but I had a conversation with Natsu about it," Gray groaned, rubbing his face with his hands as he remembered that night. "We drank a whole fuckin' bottle in thirty minutes and blacked out."
Gajeel gave him a wild look, cracking open peanuts to shove them in his mouth.
The two had become silent once more, finding it difficult to find words to express how they're feeling and what the hell this was. They still couldn't believe Natsu had beaten them to it (Gray felt betrayed since they had decided together they would ask out their lady friends by summer) and now they were left being the sore losers they were.
"Fuck Natsu."
"Yeah, fuck that dumbfuck." Gajeel sneered, angry and embarrassed. "Him and that stupid blonde bitch of his."
"Yeah, how dare they fuckin' humiliate us."
"Fuck them."
"Fuck them."
Gray and Gajeel held up their cups and clinked them together before downing them and ordering two more. It was safe to say those two stayed till they drowned themselves in self pity and alcohol that day.
Greek Week always fell on a day some time in spring. It was a weekend long party that started on Thursday and ended on Monday. Depending on the organization and depending on how many alumni came up but when it came to Fairy Tail, all hell breaks loose.
Greek Week was just a party that consisted of competitions (drinking, racing, sports, strength) and of course one massive party with everyone from Greek life attending. Everyone wears matching sweatshirts and takes a large photo and then they proceed to hand off the trophy to the (best) organization who wins at the majority of the games.
Saber Tau had won last year (Natsu argues that it was only because he and Gray were away) and so they were the ones to host the large celebration Saturday night.
So while alumni came trailing in and Greek life bloomed with life, everyone got ready for some not so friendly games with a bunch of sore losers.
The loud of the whistle being blown caught everyone's attention as they turned to see Erza Scarlet standing up on the bleachers. Being on the football field tailgating and awaiting direction, the scarlet president of Fairy Zeta stood proud and tall with her FZ hat and her matching sweatshirt where all of Greek life had their letters printed on with Greek Week 2023 on the corner.
"Alright, listen here! We will be beginning our five hundred meter dash shortly! We will be starting off with this and then going into our next match which will be an eating contest!" She shouted through the megaphone. Cheers came from the crowd in agreement and excitement. "Alright, now everyone will collect one person to represent you in the match!"
"Jet, that's you buddy!" Loke called out for his fellow ginger who was already stretching by the crowd.
"Leave it to me. This is a breeze." Jet smirked, craning his neck side to side.
Coming over to the starting line where he looked over to see Hibiki from Blue Phi (ignoring the obscenity Natsu was shouting his way), Wendy from Fairy Zeta, Lyon from Lambda Scale, Millianna from Mu Heel, and Dobengal from Saber Tau stood on either sides of him.
His smirk grew wider when he realized this would be a breeze just as it is every fucking year since he's been on the track team and cross country all four years of high school and even some of college before he dropped that shit. He's made it to states and even nationals at one point so there was no fucking way he was going to lose this one.
"Go Wendy!" FZ shouted from the bleachers as they hung over the railing for the young gal.
Wendy flushed crimson as she fidgeted in her spot, offering a wave to her sisters and to Romeo who was smiling wide.
"That girl is the size of a twelve year old!" Orga from Saber scoffed, pointing at the small girl. "What the hell does she know about winning a race?"
"Hey!" Lucy's voice echoed as she leaned over the railing to glare. "You watch your mouth, asshole! Wendy knows a lot about winning a race and her size doesn't define her!"
"Yeah!" Levy agreed, throwing her fist up. "Keep your mouth shut! Wendy is fast and amazing!"
"Couple of squirrely bitches," Orga leaned over to whisper to Rufus and he yelped when he got a can thrown at him. "Hey!"
"What did you say?!" Lucy screeched and it got the attention of many of those around, including her boyfriend who was already storming his way over as he shoved through the crowd on the bleachers. She was stomping over towards him, trying to part the crowd like the Red Sea. "Come over here and say it to my face!"
"Who the fuck is that loud ass bitch?" The green-haired frat turned to look over and Sting, chapter President, looked over in disinterest until he saw it was Lucy out of all people. And of course he could see the tuff of pink hair in the crowd that was approaching and he retracted slightly.
"Oh shit, you should run while you can, Orga."
"What? I ain't running from no fucking—" He turned around to have a fist come in contact with his face. Shouts of concern and anger flew around as he stumbled backwards, his palm pressed against his cheek. "What the fuck!"
"Don't talk to my girl like that!" Natsu roared with his fist up and a menacing glare on his face.
"Goddamn it, Natsu! You took my blow!" Lucy was groaning out loud and everyone could already tell how drunk the two were just by the flush on Lucy's face and the way Natsu slurred.
"Gotta be faster than that, baby," Natsu smirked, flexing his arm to show off his muscles. "Nobody is gonna talk to my girl like that and get away with it."
"Hey!" Orga shouted, anger washing through him. "Fuck you and your fucking bitch!"
"Oh, shit," Rogue whispered, grabbing onto Sting who slapped his hand against his face.
"Remind me to talk to Orga about this." He paused in between. "If he survives."
It was like a war where Lucy had come over to punch him right in the throat while Natsu had gone for yet another blow in the face. Saber Tau had now resorted to pushing them away and Cana was at Lucy's disposal, kicking a member between the legs while Orga was swinging right back at Natsu. Gray had come over to do some damage control but got clocked in the face making him let out a roar of his own before an all out brawl had come out on the bleachers.
Squeals and shrieks from the girls echoed and it was a madhouse as Lucy had grabbed a hold of Orga to knock him right on the face where he screamed like a little girl.
"That's enough!" Erza's voice echoed through the megaphone making the entire bleachers freeze. "This is supposed to be a weekend of fun and family and you guys are over here acting like animals!"
"He started it!" Lucy and Natsu shouted in unison, pointing at the green haired member who looked offended.
"You punched me first!"
"You were talking shit!"
"Enough!" Erza shouted again and it stopped. "Sting, I advise you to look after your members. The game is about the start." She had given him a glare and the blonde shivered.
Sting could only salute as he had Orga far away from the FZ girls along with Natsu who was trying to rile them back up for another match. He was thankful for Lucy since she had grabbed a hold of him to drag him back over, scolding him for his roughhousing before the two were attached by the mouth in a second.
He could only shake his head and sigh at the foolery that participated in.
Hoots and hollers echoed as everyone cheered for their respected candidate and Mirajane stood by the starting line, dressed in a black leather jumpsuit that had more frat boys hollering for her than any football game. Laxus could only burn holes in every motherfucker, his menacing glare sending shivers down their spines.
Mirajane waved a flag around, wishing everyone luck on the face and as she twirled. Erza had blown the whistle making the contestants start their race. Well, all besides Wendy as she had tripped over her foot the first second and fell flat on her face. Gasps erupted from the bleachers and some began to laugh making the young girl feel embarrassed, tears welling in her eyes.
"Get up, Wendy! You got this!" Faris shouted, supporting her pledge sister.
"It's okay, Wendy! Go!" Bisca shouted after her and one by one her fellow sisters were cheering her on, telling her to ignore the laughter. Wendy found encouragement and got on her feet, ignoring the way her knees pulsed and the way hot tears pricked her eyes as she even heard Romeo cheering her on.
"Hey! Shut the fuck up!" Natsu had shouted at the ones who continued to laugh. "Keep laughing and you're going to answer to Delta Tail!"
The laughter had died off and the focus was back on the game. With Wendy catching up pretty fast, Jet had been all the way up front right behind Dobengal from Saber. Hibiki was last place right behind Wendy who with years of experience in cross country, her tiny legs carried her far as she was now coming up behind Mu Heel. Of course though, with the circumstances given and Jet being the fastest as always, he had come in first place with Dobengal second and surprisingly Lyon in third. And for someone who had fallen on their face, Wendy had come in fourth kicking Hibiki last.
Cheers and screams came from the bleachers and FZ chanted Wendy over and over again as the small girl blushed red and finally bursted into tears from the overwhelming support. The sorority girls were rushing down to hug and embrace her, cheering her on.
"Delta Tail comes in first place!" Erza shouted, making the fraternity roar in excitement. They all pat Jet on the back and shoved beers in his face as grinned widely, smashing a beer can on his head as the carbonation fizzed and he chugged it as it got all over himself and those around.
Others just watched in disgust as the rambunctious boys all jumped around and shouted as if they won the Super Bowl.
"Next game is an eating contest!"
"Oh, I'm up for this one!" Droy shouted, making the crowd shout and slap him on the back.
"Get 'em, buddy!"
"All these years of you shoving your mouth better not fucking be for nothing!"
"Leave it to me!" The larger DT brother shouted as the others roared and shouted encouragements in the air.
"This one is on me," Erza had smiled proudly, handing over the microphone to Mirajane who giggled.
"Go knock 'em dead, Erza!" Lucy shouted, her voice amplified ten fold.
"We believe in you, President!" Laki shouted as Touka cheered right beside her.
Coming to a long table that had chairs placed on one side and a long table cloth draped out, Erza had come to take her seat while Droy sat beside her. Lyon from Lambda Scale sat to the right and then Risley from Mu Heel. Orga, with a red mark on his face, sat with a scowl as Lucy began to boo at him from above. The look of her with her thumbs pointing down and her lame insults made the green haired fraternity brother glare as she stuck her tongue out.
"Lucy, you need to relax!" Gray said as he tried to keep her from falling from over the edge, arm wrapped around her frame that hung over the bleachers. "Flame-head, get your girl!"
"No, Lucy is right," Natsu said as he looked down, cupping his hand over his mouth, while the other wrapped around his girl. "Fuck Saber Tau! DT and FZ for the win!"
"Goddamn it! Levy!" Gray shouted for some assistance but Levy was also booing along with her best friend. "Fuck it!" He groaned out, snatching a bottle from one of the newest recruits and he shouted out in protest. "Fuck you, I need it. All my friends are hammered and I'm not even close to their level."
So Gray Fullbuster chugged one fourth of the harsh liquor and let out a gag before a hearty burp bubbled out and he was pounding on his chest for some support. He felt the warmth that spread around his body and he was screaming and cheering along with his friends.
Erza looked up at her friends and sisters with a look of determination, thumb pointed upwards to show them her confidence but the moment her eyes landed on something, or rather someone, her eyes had turned round. The flash of blue was enough for her to know who it was and the horror of seeing him see her like this made her entire face flush crimson and she was red from her face to her hair, hands shaking.
"What's wrong with Erza?" Lucy asked, a frown on her face as concern laced between her words. "She looks red."
"She's not scared, is she?" Levy asked, also worried.
"Nah!" Natsu grinned wolfishly, waving his hands around. "That woman ain't afraid of anything!"
"Yeah, it's Erza. People fear Erza. Not the other way around." Gray scoffed, tipping the bottle to his lips.
"Then why does she look so horrified—?"
"She probably saw me."
Screams and squeals erupted as the group reeled away from the new voice that startled them to the bone, Lucy slamming into Natsu who stumbled back to elbow Levy who shrieked. Gray almost lost his bottle and he sputtered and choked, spitting his drink out everywhere.
"Ow, Natsu! What the hell!" Levy's squeak was heard but nobody responded as they all stared at their new friend.
"Yo, Jellal, a little warning would be nice!" Gray was first to recover, slapping a hand on his shoulder. The policeman barely moved, offering a warm smile towards the frat boy.
"Jellal, long time no see!" Natsu beamed, coming around his girlfriend to hold his hand up while Jellal caught it, the two bumping shoulders. "You here to cheer Fairy Tail on?"
"Only really Fairy Zeta," He smirked and Natsu's dropped.
"Hi, Jellal!" Lucy's voice caught Natsu's shouts, the blonde now rounding her boyfriend to step forward. "We never really got acquainted but I'm Lucy Heartfillia! Erza's little sister!" She stuck her hand out, all smiles and blush as the blue-haired man smiled right back.
"Also my girlfriend!" Natsu grinned widely, slugging his arm around her shoulder to brag. "Yeah, that's right," he nodded at the surprised looking male, eyebrow raised to his hairline. "My girl. Girlfriend. Mate. Partner. Soulmate. Fuck—"
"He gets it, Natsu," Lucy slapped her extended hand to swat at his chest before holding it back out to Jellal. "Sorry, he's a bit—"
"No need to apologize. I am well aware of how Natsu is." Jellal reached forward and grasped her small hand in his and Lucy felt a jolt, her eyes widening as she looked up at the handsome policeman. "Erza has told me a lot about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." He said and Lucy swallowed hard. "But we have met in person before. At New Years and my date with Erza."
"Huh?" Lucy blinked stupidly and she turned to look at her boyfriend who also looked stupid.
"My first date with Erza. You and Natsu were there." His smile traveled to Natsu who stuck his head out as his arms tangled across his chest. "You two were in that ridiculous costume with the wigs and stuff? Ordered a large pizza and Natsu spilled a cup on the ground? I think this was several months ago."
Lucy's face grew redder and redder the more Jellal spoke and she retracted her hand back, mouth gaping like a goldfish while Natsu tried to think back on such a day.
"I—I am so sorry—we—I—we weren't spying or anything—"
Jellal laughed out loud and Lucy wanted to die as she elbowed her boyfriend who was just muttering to himself and he made a grunt, whining about the pain.
"No worries. It's nice to know Erza has such a supportive friend group."
"You're that policeman!" Levy suddenly shouted, leaning across the bleachers railing to point. "You're Erza's!"
"Erza's, huh?" Jellal had a tint of pink on his cheeks, a sheepish smile on his face. "Is that what she said?"
"No," Levy offered an innocent smile before she went back to cheering.
Jellal could only raise a brow before he was being shoved a beer can from his left, Gray's wide grin coming a bit too close for comfort. "Here! You're off duty, right?"
"Well, technically," he chuckled as he took the cool can from his hands. "But I'm still supposed to be a law-abiding citizen and for my job I need to be on the lookout for any suspicious activities twenty-four-seven."
"Boring!" Natsu shouted, now coming over to slug his arm over the policeman's shoulder. "You're here for Greek week! Loosen up! Watch us get wasted and watch your girl win at this eating contest!" Natsu was shouting but he didn't know as he loudly sipped on his own drink.
Jellal only cracked open his drink before his eyes had trailed back down to find his scarlet princess, a smile lifting to his eyes as he locked eyes with her. He only chuckled as her face grew even redder than before, a small wave being lifted his way as he waved right back.
"Alright, are we ready for our eating contest?!" Mirajane's voice had echoed for the stadium to roar out in excitement. "Whoever can finish the most pies will be deemed the winner!"
Jellal was a quiet man. Reserved and personal but friendly nonetheless. He didn't grow up with much and that meant everything. Friends, family, money, and basic necessities. His mother was a mess after his father's sudden death. She stopped taking care of herself and stopped taking care of him and he was only seven so he had to grow up really fast because mommy was crying and mommy didn't eat but she had to.
He spent a lot of his adolescence in agony. Wondering if this was his fault. Wondering if this was what life had to offer.
All he knew was: Life fucking sucks.
His mother passed away when he was only ten. Died from a heartbreak they claimed. She barely ate, slept, or drank anyways so he knew better. It just sucked because now he actually was all alone. And they took him away from his actual home because he was only ten and they said he didn't have what it took to take care of himself but he's been doing it for years so why did it matter now?
But Jellal has always been a good boy. A good son. A good student. That's what his mom told him so he believed it. He never talked back. Never skipped school (only when he had to). Never stole. Never lied. He was a good boy.
But he soon realized that being a good boy meant that he would have to suffer because the new kids at the orphanage were mean and cruel. They were not good boys. They pushed him around, stole his belongings, trashed his bed, laughed at him, and called him a bunch of names.
Jellal believed them because why else would his mother and father leave him? Why else would he be forced into this home with bad kids?
It was because he was one.
So Jellal forced himself to be a bad boy. He realized that this was the only way to survive in the harsh world and he had become one the day he had shoved his long-time bully and snapped his arm in half. His screams and wails still echoed in his ear at night and it did for weeks and months but he was never messed with again. But the director told him that he won't go anywhere and nobody was going to adopt such a wild, aggressive kid and he had to change. But he thought he was full of shit because he's been a good boy for three years and took everyone's shit and nobody adopted him. Nobody looked in his direction and as one by one the bad kids got plucked, he lost hope.
Jellal ran away from the orphanage at age fifteen. He had enough of this shit place with shit people and shit food. He got this massive tattoo on his face so he wouldn't be recognizable to the people who were hunting him down and to show he was not someone to be fucked with. He learned enough on his own to know he could survive just fine and that's what he did.
Not in an ethical way though. He lied and stole and robbed but he was a lot happier outside than he was inside that rotten place where they whipped you if you said anything disrespectful and starved you if you misbehaved. At least here, he had choices and his own freedom to do what he wanted. What he was capable of.
By the time he was sixteen, he knew how to pick locks, charm anyone into giving him more than he deserved, how to run from the cops, and operate a gun at any moment. He was self taught fucking master and he was proud of his accomplishments because he fucking did that. Not anyone else. He did that.
Of course the police were always looking for him. Chasing him. Shooting at him. He was a wanted criminal, a nuisance to society and he's been on the run for years.
Until one day. He was caught lacking and he hated himself for being so stupid but that one mistake changed his life forever.
He made the mistake of robbing a police chief from a neighboring town and this man was much stronger (surprisingly since he was a short old man) and had much more experience under his belt. He was quick to grab hold of the teen and while Jellal was able to get away once, he was tracked down at his most vulnerable and forced into his vehicle. But the most shocking part of it all was that this man didn't want to bust him and force him into jail. Once he had found out that he was only sixteen, an orphan, and had been living out on the streets, the old man had found pity on him.
He offered him a job. Experience. A chance to get the hell away from this and Jellal was baffled, laughing in his face to call him a stupid fucking bastard that doesn't know shit. He didn't want his pity and he was angry that someone like him tried to sympathize with a criminal like him.
He got away and struggled to come to terms with why this random man would want to help him. Some homeless orphaned delinquent was a bad boy.
But that moment changed his life forever.
The next time he saw him again was when he was seventeen. He was hanging around some drug dealers, earning honest money (in his eyes) and doing what he thought was best. He was doing good for himself and made some friends in the gang until they were murdered right in front of his eyes at gunpoint. A war between drug lines and territory and slaughtered the only people he had trusted in his whole entire life.
The tragedy ruined him. He almost offed himself as he cried and screamed and cursed this cruel, cruel world.
Then he saw that policeman again.
This time in a diner in some sleazy area and Jellal didn't even care to run away because life wasn't fucking worth it and he was angry at the world. At himself.
He just simply sat across from him, ordered him a piece of pie, and slid his card across the table to offer him a chance at life.
"Join the police academy."
Jellal didn't even think twice before he had taken his offer. He was already numb to the world so he felt if he could become a cop he could get back to those motherfuckers who ruined his life. He worked hard for his position. His life. He trained every day, passed the courses with flying colors, and he was a policeman by the time his nineteenth birthday came around.
Life wasn't too bad anymore. He was still angry but less depressed as the police chief, Makarov, had taken him under his wing. This old man was able to teach him the gentle ways of the world and had even taken him in. Fed him. Gave him a warm place to stay and a warm place to be himself.
It scared the shit out of him and he wondered when the day would come that he was finally sick of his shit but it never did.
He started off at the bottom and built himself up, finding comfort into busting bad guys like he used to be. The ones who killed his friends. The ones who ruined his life before this one. It was hard to keep his emotions under control sometimes and he had gone a bit too far once or twice. He went to therapy and trained every day to get his anger out. Nothing really seemed to work for him and by the time he was twenty three, he was just a shell of a guy.
Still angry. Not as depressed. Alone.
But at that point he was used to it because he sure as hell didn't even think he'd make it to twenty. Then one day, while he was patrolling the university down the street because there was a complaint about a robbery, he was shocked to see some scarlet haired woman who practically stole his job from him.
She stood outside the place with a pen and paper, writing down notes and confessions from those who witnessed or may have seen anything. She was so professional and so level-headed that he was laughing by the time he had pulled up and she was gathering evidence for him. She showed him the broken window and kicked down door, handing him evidence in plastic bags, and even ripped out her notes to assist and even added her phone number if he needed any further information. He was honestly surprised that she wasn't a cop or anything concerning that field. She claimed she was just a concerned citizen and she was a big believer in doing what was right. And beside, she said she's seen enough crime show flicks to know what the hell she was doing.
They both didn't know it then but they had just changed their lives forever.
"Erza Scarlet, the winner!"
Roars of cheers and applause soared through the air and the other opponents were face down on the table, stuffed to the brim. Erza only seemed content with herself as she was still cleaning out the whipped cream from her empty pie container, easily stacking it on top of her insanely large pile that looked like it was going to tip over.
Lyon was puking in a trash bin besides the table and even Droy looked like he was out for the game as he gagged and burped.
"That's our Erza!"
"Our president is the best!"
"How could you fumble the bag so hard?!" Jet screamed at his best friend, barely hanging on the edge as he watched Droy dry-heave.
"Stuffin' your face everyday and can't even do it right when we need it!" Laxus shouted, arms tossed up in the air in defeat.
The bigger fraternity brother could only sulk and his brother rerated him for such a sad performance while everyone got into their new roles for the next competition.
"So, Jellal!" Levy hiccuped as she turned to look at their newest supporting member on the bleachers. Jellal raised an eyebrow of acknowledgement towards his fellow blunette as he sipped his beer. "Are you coming to the party tonight?"
It seemed as if everyone else wanted to know as they turned their head to look at the policeman and Jellal felt a bit nervous with all the eyes ogling him.
"Maybe," he cringed at the way some of them whined. "I don't think it's very wise to have a cop celebrating a large party."
"Nobody will ever know!" Natsu barked out, laughing and slurring and he almost toppled over if it wasn't Lucy holding him up by the scarf.
"Yeah, man, just stop by. Congratulate Erza on her big win." Gray slapped him on the back which made him jerk at the motion.
Jellal just hummed, his eyes wandering to find his scarlet warrior who was talking with Mirajane about something. Her eyes eventually found him on the bleacher, noticing how someone was staring and her cheeks flushed at the sight of him. He offered a wave and she waved back, both smiling stupidly as if Cupid had come and hit them with his arrows.
"Next we will be having our drinking contest that involves relay! We need two participants in each organization for this!"
"Oh, me! Me! I'm doing it!" Lucy gasped, shooting up her seat to bounce up and down. "Come on, Levy!"
"No way! I can't drink and relay!" The petite woman cried out, eyes wide as her best friend tugged on her arm. "That is all you and Cana!"
"Aw, you're so boring!" The blonde whined as Cana was already making her way down. "Come on, Natsu, let's go!" She now tugged on her boyfriend who was in the midst of chugging down some liquid from a bottle that was passed to him. "You're not going to be able to participate if you're too drunk!"
"Bullshit!" He waved his hand at her, a burp flying out of his lips for him to pound on his chest. "Come on, Luce. You versus me. Loser gives the other head."
"Gross," Gray sneered, snatching the bottle from his hands. "And you just put your mouth on this bottle?!"
"Relax popsicle," he burped once more. "I haven't had my mouth on that pretty pussy since yesterday."
Jellal looked uncomfortable with his lips pressed into a tight line as Levy looked like she was going to pop any moment with the steam coming out of her ears. Gray just had his face scrunched up in disgust, eyes darting from the couple with the bottle held against his naked chest.
"You two disgust me."
"Oh, shut it!" Lucy cried out, face red from alcohol and embarrassment as she dragged her favorite frat boy down. Natsu was just barking out in obnoxious laughter while he followed the FZ sister down the bleachers, a wide grin on his face as he came to slap his hand against her bottom and wrap his arm around her shoulder. "You are impossible, you know that?"
"You know, Luce," he leaned in, lips pressed against the shell of her ear as if he wanted to spill his dirtiest secret. It made Lucy shiver as his hot breath tickled her ear and she felt her face warm with the way his voice dropped an octave. "Win or lose, I wouldn't mind. If I win, I get to feel those soft lips around this cock," Lucy swallowed hard as she imagined Natsu's expression when she was on her knees taking him in just earlier that week. "And if I lose, I get to eat out of that sweet honeypot of yours. Your sweet pretty pink pussy," he stuck his tongue out to drag it across her ear and he relished in the fact she shivered and her breath hitched. "I don't know which one I would rather have."
Lucy had to stifle her moan as she felt her body tingle and her nipples pebble. "You better stop that or we just might not be able to participate in the relay."
"I rather not participate." His hand found her cheek and gave it a squeeze. "If you have other plans."
Lucy took a quick look around to see if anyone was watching or noticed them and she quickly grabbed him, yanking him behind the bleachers where the thunder of the student's feet echoed above them and the shouts blended their voice into nothing.
"You're bold, Miss Heartfillia," Natsu smirked as Lucy pushed him into the darker side, deep into the ends of the bleachers where they couldn't see anyone or anything. "You want someone to find us."
"Shut up," Lucy looked over her shoulder before she looked back at her boyfriend. "You love it."
"Fuck yeah," he grabbed the back of her neck to reel her into a sloppy kiss. "My naughty girl."
They kissed fiercely and hungrily as if this was going to be the last time they'd ever had one another. The alcohol in their system gave them a little more confidence as Lucy's hands found Natsu's belt buckle and his found purchase on her ass and one up her sweatshirt. In the sloppiness of it all, they could still undo what they needed and Natsu's belt and pants were undone and Lucy was on her knees before he could even utter another word.
He hissed out as she swallowed him whole, going all the way down without hesitation. His breath hitched as she began to go to town on his hard cock, a low groan rumbling from his chest. His hand fisted in her hair and he enjoyed the way her head bobbed back and forth while he tossed his head up. He could see the feet and bodies of the many students of Greek life above him and it excited him even more as if they were going to get caught in the act. Even with his moans and the loud slurps of her mouth on his cock, he knew nobody would ever hear because everyone was shouting and screaming.
They were all drunk and cheering and it only made it better as the bleachers vibrated around swallowing his rough pants and curses.
"Fuck, baby, you're so good with your mouth." Natsu groaned out and he didn't know if Lucy heard him or not but she quickened her pace which made him shudder. "Fuck—" he had to lean back to support himself and one of his hands found a metal bar to grab on to while his other helped her go up and down.
He looked down to see the sight and he could feel his heart pound against his rib cage, eyebrows pinched and mouth open as the caramel haze bore into his own. He almost busted right then and there as he watched her take him entirely into her mouth and her eyes locked with his. His knees shook with the way she hummed against his length and Natsu cursed as he pulled himself out of her mouth with a pop.
Lucy blinked up at him with glossy eyes, a line of drool leaking down her chin. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," he hooked his hands under her arms to hoist her up. He had her turned over and bent over before she could ask what was going on and Lucy shuddered at the way she felt the cool air nip at her naked behind as Natsu hiked up her skirt to slide down her panties. "Grab on tight 'cause I'm going to really fuck you." He whispered into her ear and Lucy gasped when she felt him rub his length against her folds. "And keep your voice down or someone might notice us." He smirked at the way her eyes trailed up to the feet of the audience.
"There's no way they'll hear us," Lucy argued while she curled her fingers against the metal bars.
"Knowing how loud you are," he positioned himself against her entrance that was throbbing with desire. "They might."
Shoving himself all the way inside of her wet pussy, Lucy did a sharp intake before crying out loud. He easily slid all the way in with how wet she had become and Natsu groaned into her ear as he stilled his motion. He had to adjust himself slightly and slowly recite the active brothers of the fraternity to not bust so quickly, his hands finding the metal bars right above them to grip it tightly. "Fuck, Lucy, you're so tight."
Lucy only whimpered out a response, her head turning slightly to look at him over her shoulder. "And you're so big, Natsu," she whined and Natsu groaned, using one of his hands to grip her around the hips. He started to rock his hips back and forth, relishing in the feeling of her wetness coating him.
Soon, he found his pace and his hips were slapping against her bare cheeks, hands finding both her bare hips to pull her back with every thrust. Lucy's voice was caught between a cry and a gasp as Natsu pounded into her, the cheers and echoing voices above them loud enough to mask their fucking.
It sounded like the competition was about to start with the way the crowd was going and the loud voice coming from the megaphone validated her thoughts as they announced the rules of the relay. Though, the two couldn't see anything through the cracks since there were so many students standing on it and the occasional drop of something would echo throughout the ends of the metal bleachers.
Feeling Natsu press his chest against her back, Lucy gasped as Natsu pulled her upright. His hand had slid down between her legs and started to rub at her nub making her legs tremble. "Keep yourself up," he muttered into her ear. "You're slipping."
"I—I can't," Lucy whined as her knees buckled at the sensations he was providing.
Natsu groaned out in half-annoyance and half-pleasure, grabbing her hands to peel them away from the bar above and have her readjust to the ones to their right. He hiked up one of her legs that made her squeak and he thrusted back into her cunt making her let out a high-pitched scream.
"What was that?" Someone above them said but it didn't stop Natsu from pounding into her as Lucy caught her moans in her hand.
"What was what?"
"It sounded like… screaming."
"You mean everyone around us?" The person scoffed and their feet shuffling echoed within the metal. "You're drunk."
"Yeah, I am," they laughed and went back to the game while Lucy was finding her own nirvana.
The new position had her legs buckling and the familiar heat pool in her lower stomach, Natsu's girth stretching her out like nothing before. She was barely able to breath, gasping for air and desperately needing something to grip on as her knuckles turned white from the way she held on so tightly.
"See? I told you you're loud," Natsu growled in her ear and she mewled in response. "Now be a good girl and cum for me."
It was as if she had been waiting for his permission this whole time as she had her mouth open in a silent cry, her legs trembling and her pussy squeezing so tight that Natsu was groaning out his own climax. Her womanhood pulsed around his cock and she was moaning out loud, dragging out her gasps. Natsu dropped her leg once more and grabbed her hips, jack-hammering into her as hard and fast as he could to reach his own high.
Natsu let out a grunt of his own as he pulled out at the last minute, spattering his seed all over her bare ass and cunt. He panted through it all, his heart pounding in his chest as he came down from his climax. The sight of seeing his milky white spunk drip down her womanhood made his cock twitch in excitement but the cheers and voices above was enough for him to grow soft from the moment.
"You really had to cum on me?" Her obvious annoyed whine came out.
"Would you prefer I came inside?"
"Always," her breathy tone made his head snap over to glare at her mischievous grin.
"Keep talkin' like that and I can make it happen." His eyes found her panties on the ground and decided this would be good enough to use. "I figured you'd rather have it on you than have it drip out of you." He started to wipe and Lucy turned to see what he was using, her mouth dropping in disbelief.
"Hey!" She cried out, standing up straighter. "What am I supposed to wear now?!"
"Nothing," he said as he pocketed the wet gardment, grabbing her by the waist to yank her to his chest. "So it'll be easy access for me." He purred, eyes hooded and boring into her wide ones.
"What if someone sees?"
"Then I'll just kick their ass." Natsu shrugged, pressing a light kiss to her lips. "Nobody else can see that pretty pussy of yours but me."
Lucy could only giggle as Natsu nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck, the familiar feeling of his hard on pressing against her stomach had his hands roaming and hot mouth on hers again and the crowd cheered once more.
With it being Friday night, Greek life had become accustomed to partying. Especially with Greek week and many alumni present, each organization had their own little things going on as they all prepared for Saturday night's bash.
Fairy Tail had decided to join together, celebrating in their own rambunctious way with booze, fights, and games. But with the activities from this morning, many were down for the count (pussyshit, Gray claimed) but he was down as well. With his naked bottom mooning the rest of the world, he was face down on the couch with everything they could find stacked on top of him like the eiffel tower.
"To think my boy would become a Delta one day!" Macao, Delta Tail alumni, slurred, thrusting his cup in the air where his other fellow brothers cheered. "Take that, Wakaba! Useless piece of shit."
"Hey, fuck you!" The older man shouted, a hiccup flying out of his lips as he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth to point. "It's not my fault I had all girls."
"How about we hook one of them up with Romeo over here, eh? Eh? What do you say son?" The male grinned at a red-faced brother, a scowl on his handsome face.
"You're drunk."
"I know what I am but what are you?" He teased and Romeo was rolling his eyes, looking around the crowded room in disinterest.
The rest of the place was filled with loud boisterous laughter and shouting, many failed to see the door open and a familiar platinum blonde trot right in. She had turned many heads with the way her hips swayed and looked like she fit right in, a slutry smile on her face.
Her icy blue eyes scanned the familiar grounds as she saw the deadweight of Gray Fullbuster on the couch along with Erza Scarlet in the corner doing another round of strip poker. She seemed to be the only one with clothes still on as brothers sat around the table, trembling and half-naked. Her eyes trailed across the many new faces she hadn't seen yet and then her eyes finally caught sight of pink and she was already making her way over as if his body was a magnet.
Sticky from sweat, alcohol, and bodily fluids that may or may not belong to his girlfriend, Natsu was one too many drinks in and tongue deep down the mouth of Lucy. His vision was hazy but his body knew one thing and that one thing was that he was going to get his dick wet (again) if this woman didn't stop groping him like he was made out of meat.
He loved the way Lucy responded to him and he especially loved how high her libido was because he would most definitely lock them in a room and fuck all day than do anything else.
Whenever Lucy got a drop of alcohol in her, she became sloppy and aggressively horny and he was not going to complain. Now that he could actually taste and stick his dick inside of her, he didn't have to push her away to control his junior and he sure as hell was going to make sure every motherfucker in the world knew that this girl was his and he was hers.
With his mind swirling and his tongue dancing, Natsu thought his mind was playing games with him when he felt his girl disappear and the cold air on his tongue nipped at him. He blinked lazily, his vision in the dark room getting to the best of him as he slurped his tongue back into his mouth.
He scrunched his face up in confusion, turning his head to look for the golden girl he was so desperately in love with and then his eyes widened to see her being pressed against the wall and cornered by a familiar face.
He had to blink away his drunk as he squinted, trying to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him or if there was some woman here that looked a little too similar to his ex-girlfriend.
And then he saw that tattoo on her left thigh and he instantly knew it was her and she was cornering his girl and if he didn't act fast, her tongue was going to be down her throat and not his.
"Lis?" He pratically squeaked, clamping his hand down on her shoulder as she whirled around. "What are you doing here?"
"Natsu!" She beamed, throwing her arms around his shoulders to press herself against his chest. The air escaped his lungs and he barely caught himself if it wasn't for his hand slammed against the wall to catch them two.
"Natsu, what's going on?" Lucy's voice brought him back and he was struggling to stand up straight at the said woman who had a death grip around him.
"Damn it, Lis," he barely groaned out, shoving the woman off him as he hacked up a lung. "You need to get that shit under control."
"I just missed you," She frowned, a small pout on her lips as her glossy eyes blinked up at him in a faux expression of sadness.
Natsu rolled his eyes, backing away from her to stand in front of his girl to try to keep her away from this she-devil 2.0. "And keep your paws off of my girl."
"But she's so pretty!"
"I know," he growled, arm extended to block her from her view. "She's mine."
"Natsu?" Lucy tugged at his shirt and he craned his neck to look over his shoulder. "What's going on?"
"Baby," he sounded more breathless than he should, turning around to wrap his arms around her to console her. "That's Lisanna. My ex-girlfriend and Mirajane's sister."
"Hi!" Her bright smile was radiant in the dark room and Lucy gawked, eyes darting from Natsu to his ex-girlfriend who was waving and smiling.
"That's her?"
"Yes?" He answered, confused on why she was looking like he just confessed to murder.
"She's hot!" Lucy sputtered, mouth ajar and eyes wide while pointing at the woman who giggled.
"Thank you," Lisanna winked, striking a pose for the blonde. "You're definitely eye-candy for sure. No wonder Natsu fell in love with you," she stepped forward and Natsu reactively tensed, his arms tightening around the woman as he tried his best to tuck her into his chest.
"No, no-uh, stay away." He hissed and Lucy scrunched her face up in confusion as Natsu's entire body swallowed her hole and Lisanna tried to pry him off.
"Just let me get a good look!"
"No! You're going to shove your tongue down her throat and touch her inappropriately!"
"No, I'm not!" She whined, trying to push Natsu away but he was much stronger and larger than she was. "I just want to get a good look!"
"Fuck off, Lis! She's mine!"
"You haven't even given her a chance to pick yet!"
"She is not picking!" He screeched and Lucy felt like some prized doll that was being yanked back and forth by two kids.
Eventually, Lisanna grabbed Natsu by his scarf and choked him out, making him gag and fall back, his entire body being tossed to the side as if he only weighed a couple of pounds. But knowing who her siblings were, Lucy didn't doubt that this woman was as strong and persuasive as they could be. She saw Mirajane in action and that woman was not someone to be messed with and with how Lisanna's eyes shimmered in that exact way as if someone challenged the oldest Strauss sibling, Lucy could only walk backwards till her back came in contact with the pulsing wall.
Her heart pounded as she stared up wide eyed at the woman who was looking her up and down as if she was going to be her next meal and she shivered, nipples perking as the beautiful woman who smelt even nicer leaned in close enough that if she turned her head just a bit, their lips would touch.
And Lucy strangely found herself wondering what that would be like if she did just make out with Natsu's ex-girlfriend.
"I heard so much about you," Lisanna's voice was seductive and sweet which coursed tingles all up and down her body. "You are even prettier in person."
"S—same," Lucy had no idea why she was stuttering or why her knees felt weak as she felt the warmth of this woman radiate off her body. She desperately wished Natsu would come save her before she was latching onto this vixen.
"I would love to get to know you better without the distruptance of a banger," Her icy eyes glinted mischievously and Lucy swallowed hard, eyes widening at her insinuation. "We can always go back to mine and watch a movie or grab some dinner," she trailed off, a sharp fingernail trailing up her generous chest and her cleavage. Lucy shivered, feeling goosebumps trailing behind her finger and she sucked in a breath as Lisanna tucked a hair behind her ear. "Or we can just skip all the formalities and just…" she leaned in close, breath tickling her ear where it made her whimper. "Fuck. I bet I'm a better time than Natsu ever will be."
Lucy had no idea what the hell she thought was going to happen when she met Natsu's ex-girlfriend but it definitely wasn't her feeling her up and tonguing her ear. Or the fact that she was incredibly turned on and her knees were pressed together, breath shuddering, and nipples perk.
She opened her mouth to respond but she was interrupted when Natsu had shoved Lisanna out the way once again, his body pressed against her but more in the way where he was like a wild animal and was protecting his freshly caught meal.
"Lis, I swear to fucking god!" He shouted over the music and laughter, teeth bared at the smirking Strauss sibling. "You are not fucking Lucy nor are you going to be doing anything to her!"
"Aw, come on, Natsu," her whine was dragged out and childish. "We used to share all the time. We used to do them together!"
"Not this one, no way," he was growling like an animal and Lucy was trying her best to blink away her bewilderment. "Mine. Mine only. You don't get to touch her in any way."
"Wait," Lucy tugged on his shirt to catch his attention as she looked between the smiling face of the woman and back to her boyfriend. "You two fucked people together?"
"Not people," Natsu corrected. "Girls."
"Yes, a lot of pretty girls," Lisanna purred, coming over to lean across Natsu to get back into Lucy's face. "But none of them are as pretty as you. So this would be different—"
Natsu shoved his hand in her face and pushed her back making her make some unintelligent sound. "Run, Lucy! Run while you can!"
And just because her boyfriend told her to, Lucy fled from the scene but she could only think about if Lisanna was true to her words about being a better time than Natsu. And now she was wondering how she and Natsu would be together.
"Fuck."
