Lucy walked confidently into the building of Fairy Tail, instantly declaring, "I wish to speak to the Master."
Many of the guild members looked at her like she was insane, until a young man who was about ten walked up to her. He had orange spiky hair, Hazel eyes, and was wearing fine clothes.
"Why do you want to talk to the Master?"
Lucy blinked with faint confusion, that this young boy, younger then her, was not only already a member of Fairy Tail, but had the audacity to act like her asking to see the Master of the guild was a criminal offense.
She crossed her arms over her chest, "Lucy "
~Now why did I say that? I told myself I would never use the name he gave me.~
The boy, not intimidated, crossed his arms as well, "You still haven't answered my other question."
Lucy felt her eyes twitch, "I just wish to speak to the Master.
Lucy rolled her eyes, and went off to find the Master.
She walked up behind him, and whispered in his ear with a smile,
Loke jumped up, and had only pulled on his underwear when his eyes widened and he looked over at her in excitement, "You're back!"
She smiled again, "Yeah."
Pulling on his pants, he looked at her curiously, "How did it go?"
"It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be," Lucy answered truthfully, "Everyone said that my first quest alone would be difficult, but it really wasn't. It was actually really simple."
Loke nodded jealously, "I wish the Master would let me go on a quest too."
Lucy patted his head, "Don't worry. Only a couple more years, and you'll be able to go on one by yourself. Until then, you can tag along with me!"
Loke looked up from the tie of his shirt in excitement, "Really!?"
Lucy nodded, "Yes."
.
Lucy looked over at him with pride, "Good job, Loke!"
Loke looked back at her with a grin, "Really? I think you did better."
Lucy smiled, "It doesn't matter. You still did great."
Lucy sat in the corner, staring at nothing.
I can't believe mira beat me to it… How did this happen? mira's been kissed, but I haven't? I'm older then her! And Laxus? Laxus is the one that kissed her? She was only fourteen! I'm fifteen, and I still haven't been kissed! How did mira beat me to it…?
"Lucy!"
She looked up in shock to see Loke standing in front of her with a look of faint annoyance on his face, "I've been trying to get your attention for the last few minutes. What's wrong?"
"Nothing," she said, forcing a smile, "Why were you trying to talk to me?"
"The Master says he's locking up for the night and we have to get out," Loke said. He looked down, a faint blush on his face, "C-Can I w-walk you to the G-Girl's Dorm?"
Lucy felt an answering blush grow on her face, "Y-Y-Yes."
Who told him? I haven't told anyone but mira, and she swore on the first Master's grave that she would never tell! Was it Mirajane, that evil jerk. But how would she have figured it out? Who told Loke I liked him?
Loke and Lucy stepped out of the guild, and Lucy looked up in surprised happiness, "It's snowing!"
"It is," Loke said happily.
Still staring at the sky with a smile, she was surprised when she felt a coat come around her shoulders. She looked over at Loke in surprise.
He toed the ground with a blush on his face, "Well, you know, I don't get cold, and it's snowing, and I don't want you to get sick or anything, so I… yeah."
Lucy grabbed his hand with a blush, causing him to look up in shock, "Thanks."
They walked toward the Girl's Dorm, neither looking at the other as both were blushing do to the fact that they were still holding hands.
They had walked most of the way to the Girl's Dorm when she heard Loke's voice, "So will you please tell me what you were thinking about so hard at the guild?"
Lucy sighed, "mira got her first kiss yesterday."
Loke stopped walking, tugging her to a stop, "Really? By who?"
"Laxus," Lucy replied, hiding her intense jealousy.
"Oh," Loke said with nonchalance, which eased the desire to kill her nakama, "But I don't understand why that made you stare into space for an hour."
Lucy blushed, "Because she got her first kiss before I got mine."
Once again, Loke stopped, "Seriously? You've never been kissed?"
Her blush deepened, "N-No. H-Have you?"
Loke shook his head as he started walking again, "Never."
They walked the rest of the way to Fairy Hills in silence, but when they got there, Loke stood in front of the gates for a minute before saying, "Lucy?"
"Yes?" she asked, unsure what he was so embarrassed about.
"C-C-Can I…" he started, blushing.
"Can you what?" she asked, still unsure.
He looked up into her eyes, and she saw how heavy his blush was, "I… I was wondering if you would let me kiss you."
Lucy felt her eyes go wide, and a blush nearly as heavy as his form on her face, "K-K-K-Kiss me?"
He nodded, and looked away, "You don't have to if you don't want to."
She looked the other direction, "Okay."
She felt his hesitant fingers touch her chin, and turn her to look at him. He stared in her eyes for a minute.
~Huh. He's slightly taller then me. When did that happen?~
Gently, slowly, he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. She felt her eyes flutter shut, and slowly, the kiss changed. They had started off embarrassed and nervous, but both lost those emotions as they realized that not only did they like the feeling, but so did the other.
She brought her arms around his neck slowly, and at the same pace, he wrapped his arms around her waist. Internally hearing mira's voice telling her that it was more fun with tongues, she opened her mouth slightly.
She felt Loke's tongue slowly, almost lazily enter her mouth. For a while she let his tongue explore, but soon, she decided that she wanted to explore his mouth.
She moved her tongue towards his mouth, but apparently he wasn't done in hers. Their tongues struggled with each other until finally, Loke let her explore his mouth. She ran her tongue along the sides of his mouth, the shape of his teeth, until she finally coaxed his tongue to play with hers. They moved from mouth to mouth for a few more minutes before she finally pulled away.
"Good… night, Loke," she said, panting slightly.
He smirked faintly at her, "Good night, Lucy."
Lucy walked into the guild, instantly searching out her boyfriend's eyes. As they met, she gave him a small smile, and his answering grin made her heart pound. She flicked her eyes toward the stairs to the roof, and once he nodded, she made her way to them. As she came out on the roof, she quickly made sure her hair looked all right.
"It looks great, Lucy. I really don't understand why you're messing with it," Loke's voice came from the stairwell.
She turned to the stairs with a smile, "Because I want to make sure I'm beautiful for you."
Loke stared at her for an instant before crossing the roof to her and hugging her, "You're always beautiful."
"Thanks," she said with a blush.
"So you won? You're S-Class?" he asked, still holding her in his arms.
She grinned excitedly, "Yes. I even beat Mirajane!"
"Good job!" Loke cheered for her excitedly, then sobered, "Although, this just shows how much stronger then me you are."
"I don't think I'm stronger then you," Lucy said staring into his eyes.
"But you are. I don't understand why someone as strong and amazing as you is with someone like me," Loke said, and Lucy knew it was the truth. She could see the pure belief shining from his eyes.
"You are strong and amazing and my best friend, Loke," Lucy said, "That's why I'm with you."
~And I love you…~
Loke smiled faintly at her before his face hardened with determination, "Lucy, I… I love you. And you are so much better then me. One day, I'll deserve you, but right now you are out of my reach. I don't deserve you."
"But… I don't understand," Lucy said. She was so confused. Hadn't he just said he loved her? So why did it sound like he was breaking up with her.
Slowly, his arms unwound from her, "I can't be with you. I'm not good enough."
"But you are!"Lucy said, tears starting to run down her face, "I… I love you, too."
"Lucy, I love you. I want to be with you.
