[i-write-fanfics-to-procrastinate]

Are you still taking requests in your inbox? If you are could you please do #29 “don’t ever do that again” for nalu I need some angst in my life lol

Hi! I hope the beginning is angsty enough for you! You know I can’t end on a sad note! I guess this is a kind of modern-ish FT City Hero sort of thing. I hope you like it! :)

Nalu: “Don’t Ever do that Again”

           “Lucy!!!!” How long had he been searching? He feltlike it had been hours, maybe even days, but he knew that the explosion hadgone off only minutes before. “LUCY!” The smoke and dust made it hard to see.The firemen had said that most everyone who was in the building probably wereburied under all the rubble. The way they had said it made Natsu nauseous. Theyhad said it without looking into his eyes. They had said it… like there was nochance they’d bring anyone back alive. But I’m not going to think like that!He knew Lucy wasn’t dead. She was fine. She was fine. She has to be…fine.

           Just on the other side of all the destruction, Natsu could make out volunteers andfirefighters carefully removing rubble. He had been searching, for any sign,that Lucy was alright, that there were survivors. Please. He paused,frozen, above a particularly large pile of bricks. There… He reacheddown and plucked out… her new hair clip. It was cracked now. He had just boughtit for her today—for their first anniversary. The design, the pearls and goldroses, were stained with blood.

           Natsu’s hands started shaking. N-no. No. He couldn’t breathe. Not… not Lucy!Not my Lucy! Tears welled up in his eyes. I should have stopped her! Shehad seen the fire from the street.

           “N-Natsu! That’s HQ! Oh my god! Everyone working today…!” She had run before he couldeven stop her. He had tried to go after her—tried to grab her—but the momentshe entered those doors the entire building rocked with an explosion, knockinghim off his feet.

           Seconds later, he was struggling to pull open the doors, blocked from the firstexplosion, when someone screamed. There had been another shuddering BANG, andthe entire building collapsed.

           Now,Natsu couldn’t contain himself, he collapsed to his knees, clutching the hairclip with both his hands. “LUCY!” Involuntary tears spilled over, rolling offhis eyelashes, and down his cheeks. “LUCY!” He was going to find out who didthis, find out who was responsible for this, and make them regret ever beingborn.

           “Natsu!” A familiar voice. Natsu glanced up. Gray was waving at him from the other sideof the site. “Natsu! We found them!”

***

           Natsu stayed with her. When they pulled Lucy’s battered body from the rubble. When theylifted her into the ambulance. When the rushed her out, into the hospital. Hestayed with her. Every breath he took was a prayer that somehow she would beokay, that somehow they would make it out of this together. He stayed with heruntil they took her away, to surgery. And even then, he didn’t dare leave thewaiting room. The whole time, clutching her new—now mangled—hair clip like itwas a good luck charm. A good luck charm. I should have given it to herbefore they took her away.

           What seemedlike hours later, he found himself sitting with her at last, clutching her bruisedhand, tears still stinging the corners of his eyes. “It’s gonna bealright, Lu. It’s gonna be alright.” But he didn’t know if she could hear himor not.

           “Natsu,” Erza was in the doorway. She looked exhausted—still in uniform. How long hadshe been helping the firefighters pull everyone else out?

           “Erza,” he frowned. “You look…”

           “Terrible, I know. So do you,” she paused, her eyes flicking over Lucy, “You should tryand get some rest.”

           “Youknow I can’t.” He shook his head.

           “Justtry and get some sleep, Natsu, okay?”

***

           Natsu woke to a familiar humming. He was sitting, his upper body draped across soft blankets.Someone was playing with his hair. He groaned, sitting up. He was sore all over,from what? Panicking yesterday? Lucy! He jumped, glancing over whereLucy was propped up in bed. She offered him a smile.

           “Goodmorning!”

           “G-goodmorning?!”

           “I’msorry, I woke you, didn’t I?”

           “Youalmost died!” She blinked, and then glanced down at the hairclip in her hand.Did she slip it out of my hand while I was sleeping.

           “I…know. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t leave the others in there…”

           “Whatwould I do without you?” He said, reaching out to touch her hairclip. “Ithought… I thought…”

           “Natsu,”Lucy smiled, leaning forward to clip the gold and pearls in his pink hair. “You’dbe you. Brave.”

           Hefelt his cheeks flush. “You were the one who was brave, Lu, you rushed into theburning building—not me.”

           “Iguess you’re right.” She smiled, poking his cheek. “You look cute.” Natsufrowned, and stood, leaning over to pull her into a tight hug.

           “Ow,careful, Natsu!”

           “Sorry…sorry… I just…” He pulled away, just barely, to look her in the eyes. “Don’tever do that again, okay?”

           Shesmiled a little, “Okay.” Then she burst into laughter, “I can’t take youseriously with that hair clip in your hair!”

           “Awcome on! Take it off. It’s yours not mine!”

           “Alright,alright.” Lucy gently unclipped it from his hair. “Hey, Natsu?”

           “Yeah?”

           “I’msorry I scared you. Do you forgive me?”

           “Youknow I love you too much to stay mad at you,” he grinned.

           Lucylaughed, resting back against her pillows, “I love you too, dragon.”

Thanks for reading!

This is a double review. Chapter 31 and 32 of Fairy Tail City heroes. In chapter 31 it was Levy’s birthday and she was looking forward to what Gajeel would do for her or get her only for her to think he bailed out on her since she couldn’t find him all day. But this was a cute chapter because it turns out his gift was a special song for her confirming the Gajevy ship in the City Hero universe. As for 32, it’s about a human Agcnologia where he is on his own quest for whatever reason running into Frosch, to meeting Natsu at a ramen stand both eating the spiciest ramen on the menu. Natsu surpassing him and well it was funny that’s Agcnologia has given him his respect and recognition for Natsu to be a worthy king. Both were nice slow paced chapters and each one gets a 9/10 from me. Looking forward what 33 will bring.

City Hero Laxus x Hisui Oneshot

Or is it?

This is something new. Since the three chapters of City Hero that centered around Princess Hisui and Laxus I’ve been thinking about writing something for them because they are soooo ridiculously adorable. I’ll always love LaKae Miraxus but I think City Hero Laxui stole my heart. :)

Would you call this a date?  

          After wishing her father goodnight, Hisui followed the familiar path to her room, and shut the door tightly, leaning against the solid wood with a sigh. Everything was so overwhelming. Being a princess… there are so many things I have to take care of… She wished she could just escape into the world… forge her own path ahead under open skies. Everything Laxus had shown her just last week. Her chest felt tight. Laxus… There was something about him that kept bringing him back to the forefront of her thoughts. Maybe it was how much he knew about the outside world, how much he had shown her.

          Hisui crossed her bedroom to her little balcony. Outside the stars were beginning to appear in the deep blue sky and fading purple sunset. She let out a deep sigh. The city lay before her—it didn’t seem fair that it was just out of reach. But if her father caught her sneaking out again… he would be so worried. She glanced back to her bedroom door, biting her lip. As long as I don’t get caught… She smiled, turning back towards the city. I think it’s time to say thank you to Laxus, properly.

***

          Evergreen leaned back in the seat of the patrol car with a groan. “I had a date, you know.”

          Laxus glanced over at her. She was sipping on a cheap, disposable cup of coffee, her hair pulled back in a bun. “With Elfman?” She spluttered, nearly spitting her coffee all over the dash of his car.

          “W-w-what?! No!” She laughed, waving her hand. “Why would you think that?”

          Laxus shook his head, but didn’t respond, glancing out the half-open window towards the bar they were staking out. It wasn’t a good part of town, and this place was supposed to be an area where all the good-for-nothings hung out. It was their job to get some evidence of that.

          “Anyways!” Evergreen gasped, her cheeks bright red, she was completely flustered, “We should talk about something else.”

          “You’ve been fogging up the car talking so much,” Laxus said, reaching back to grab the bag of chips behind the passenger seat.

          Evergreen glanced over at him with narrowed eyes, “Tsk! You’re the one who’s accusing me of… of… fraternizing with coworkers!”

          “I’m not accusing you. I know you are,” Laxus sighed.

          “Who told you?” Evergreen demanded.

          “Freed did,” Laxus said nonchalantly.

          “Freed?! How does he know anything about that?!” But Laxus wasn’t listening anymore. Someone was walking down the street towards the bar—a young woman. He recognized her almost immediately—the way she held herself, the way she walked. And that hat. He watched her pause at the bar, glance around as if she was lost, and then climb the three steps to the door and slip inside. This is bad. “Laxus? Are you even listening to me?!” Evergreen gasped. He wasn’t. He yanked the door of the patrol car open and stood, moving with purpose towards the bar. This is bad, very bad. “Where the hell are you going?!” Evergreen shouted after him, quickly opening her own door and standing up. “Laxus! You’re in uniform! You’re going to blow our whole operation!” Laxus ignored her. “I’m calling the chief!” But he was already climbing the stairs to the door to the bar, throwing the door open and stepping into the smoky atmosphere. There were definitely drugs here, that was the first thing he noticed. Some sort of old, twanging guitar solo was playing on an old jukebox in the corner. The bartender was serving several shots of whiskey. In one corner a game of pool was being argued over. The young woman he had noticed before was in the middle of the room, surrounded by leering strangers.

          “What’s wrong, pretty girl, are you lost?”

          “I’m… I’m looking for the police s-station!” There was a determined look in her eyes, but he could tell from her shaking hands that she was scared.

          “Aw, don’t worry about the boys in blue. We can protect you much better than they could—”

          That was right about the moment when people started noticing Laxus, his broad shoulders blocking the doorway, his badge proudly worn on his shoulder—police cap firm over his blond hair. Electricity was dancing between his fingers. “Hey, boys,” he said, glancing over the suddenly very quiet bar. “Magnolia Police.” He tapped his badge. A few of the men in the room took a couple steps back. But Laxus only had eyes for the girl in the middle of the room: Princess Hisui. Her face lit up with a smile the moment she saw him.

          “Laxus!”

          “You!” One of the men rasped, “You’re the thunder beast of the Magnolia Police Department!”

          “Yeah, I am.” Laxus growled, reaching out to take Hisui’s hand. She caught it, entwining her fingers with his, and he pulled her towards him. “And we’re leaving.”

          “Oh I don’t think so, Mr. Policeman.” One of the thugs sneered over at Hisui. “After all, what’s one policeman gonna do against all of us?” Laxus gritted his teeth, drawing on his magical power—sparks dancing across his skin. He couldn’t say her name. They’d recognize her instantly if he did, and then she’d be in trouble.

          “Hey, shortcake,” he pulled Hisui into a twirl towards the door, “I think it’s about time you make your exit.” He released her hand. She glanced up at him from under the brim of her hat with wide eyes. “I’m going to take care of these guys.” Laxus grinned. Hisui nodded, her cheeks flushed.

          “Please be careful,” she whispered.

          Laxus smirked, turning back to the rest of the bar as the door opened and swung closed behind him. Lightning traced down his arms and into his hands. “No promises.”

***

          “What the hell were you thinking?!” Evergreen screamed, jabbing her pointer finger at Laxus’ chest. “Are you insane?! Our job was to observe not storm the place!”

          Laxus glanced back at the burning building with a shrug. “I think we did a good job of clearing the place out… ah, I meant: ‘I think I did.’”

          “Why in the world did you go in there in the first place?!”

          “I thought I saw someone I recognized,” Laxus shrugged.

          “That’s it?! You thought?” Evergreen was fuming. Laxus could practically see flames in her eyes. “I can’t even look at you right now! I was supposed to go on a date tonight, you know?”

          “Yeah, I do,” Laxus shoved his hands in his pockets. “with Elfman.”

          “NO!” Evergreen snapped. “I’m riding with the firemen back. And guess what, you get to talk to the chief tomorrow and explain to him why we didn’t figure out who the supplier was. Got it?”

          “Yeah, yeah, I’ll cover it. You’re welcome.” Evergreen was already storming away, arms crossed. Laxus groaned, turning back to his patrol car, and slipping into the driver’s seat. He waited for a minute, the second police car pulled away, and then he adjusted his rear-view mirror and glanced through it to the back seat. “You still there, shortcake?”

          She popped up from where she was laying down, her hat askew, her hair disheveled, but a bright smile on her face. “Yes!” She clasped her hands together, smiling at him through the mirror. “I was scared I’d never be able to find you! I was going around trying to find someone to tell me where the police station was—”

          Laxus turned around in his seat to meet her eyes, putting on a deep-set frown, “What the hell were you doing sneaking out again?”

          Hisui dropped her gaze, glancing down at her hands. “I… I wanted to see… I mean,” she took a deep breath, meeting his eyes again, “I wanted to thank you.”

          “That’s it?” Laxus narrowed his eyes, resting his arm against the shoulder of his seat. “Couldn’t you have sent me a note or something? Don’t you royals usually throw a ball or send a gift basket?”

          She looked torn, or sick, or something. He wasn’t sure he couldn’t place it. Her face was so pale. “I couldn’t do that… for you.” She whispered. He frowned.

          “What are you talking about?”

          “I… I feel like I’m suffocating in the palace, Laxus. I just… I just wanted to see the city again. So I could breathe. And… I wanted to see you again.” Her words slipped away into the silence of the patrol car. The light of the bar on fire just outside lit up her face. He could see in her eyes that she was being earnest. He felt heat rush to his face. What the hell is wrong with me? He gritted his teeth. I’m an officer for the Magnolia Police Department. I should do my job—take her home… but for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He took in a deep breath, and turned back in his seat, twisting the key and bringing the old police car roaring to life.

          “Buckle up,” he said, adjusting his mirror again.

          “Where are we going?” Hisui asked.

          He grinned in the mirror, shifting into drive, “It’s a surprise.”

***

          “Can I open my eyes now?” Hisui huffed, her hand tucked safely in Laxus’s as he led her, somewhere…? She could hear chatting, and something smelled amazing.

          “Geez, you’re not impatient at all,” Laxus snorted.

          “Hey!” Hisui said, her free hand still placed firmly over her eyes.

          “There’s some steps here, hold on,” Laxus’s other hand gently took her elbow and led her safely up the steps. “Okay, are you ready?” He let go of her hand. “You can open your eyes.” She dropped her hand and blinked, glancing around at a softly-lit restaurant. There were very few people here at this hour, but it seemed to be a fancy place. The waiters and waitresses were dressed up and the tables looked set similar to the way they were usually set back at home. Hisui glanced up at Laxus with wide eyes.

          “I didn’t bring money,” she whispered.

          “That didn’t stop you last time,” he shrugged.

          “Hey! I told you I didn’t know how it all worked last time—”

          “Just two?” The host appeared suddenly.

          “Yes,” Laxus nodded.

          “Follow me.” Hisui followed closely behind Laxus. He didn’t seem fazed at all. His hands were in his pockets, he seemed emotionless—not distant, just nonchalant. On the other hand, she was a mess. She wasn’t sure why her face was all hot, or why her heart was pounding. Somehow he could tease her so well. She hated that.

          “Here we are!” The host gestured to a little table, just right for two. Laxus reached out and pulled out Hisui’s chair with one hand, before sitting down in his own. She felt her cheeks grow hot again as she took her seat across from him. The host gently set some papers in front of them. “Your waitress will be with you soon.” And then she was gone.

          Laxus glanced down at the papers briefly and leaned back in his seat. “Get whatever you want,” he said. Hisui glanced down at the papers. Menu…?

          “You mean… I can choose what food I want?”

          Laxus blinked, as if he absolutely hadn’t been expecting that question. “What? Of course you can. Get anything you want.”

          “R-really?!” Hisui glanced down again at the menu, in awe. Across from her Laxus laughed a little. “Anything…” The possibilities were endless.

          They spent dinner laughing, and talking, and Hisui tried as much food as she wanted. “Okay,” Laxus breathed, leaning back in his seat, taking a gulp of his cup of black coffee. “Which one was your favorite out of everything you tried?”

          Hisui glanced over the several plates in front of her, contemplating. “I think… the crab and artichoke dip with bread.” She pointed over to the half-finished dish. Laxus glanced over at it curiously and shrugged.

          “Alright I’ll bite. Let me try some.” Hisui beamed brightly, lifting the plate towards him with both hands.

          “I know you’ll like it! It’s so good!” He took a piece of bread, scooped up some dip and popped it in his mouth. Hisui waited expectantly.

          “Hmm.” Laxus nodded thoughtfully, “Pretty good.”

          “Pretty good!” Hisui gasped. “I thought it deserved at least very good!” Laxus laughed, for real this time, and it made Hisui’s heart flutter.

          Laxus paid for dinner and they left the restaurant to rain. They stood on the front step for a minute. The lightning mage let out a deep sigh, “Of course.” It was pouring, drops pounding on the pavement. The patrol car was parked across the street. “We’ll have to make a run for it,” Laxus said, glancing down at her, a crooked smile on his lips. She felt her face go hot again, her heart pounding.

          “Right!”

          “Ready? Run!” They dashed down the steps and into the downpour. Hisui was almost soaked to the skin the moment they stepped out into the rain. Her thoughts were going a mile a minute as her heels clacked on the pavement. Laxus was just reaching the car when she stopped in the street, forgetting about the rain.

          “Laxus,” she said, the rain soaking into her hair.

          “You’re going to get sick if you keep standing there!”

          “Tonight, with dinner, was that… was that what you would call a date?” She said. Laxus froze, his whole face turning bright red.

          “A what?” And then he shook his head, “How do you even know what a date is? Don’t Princesses have arranged marriages or something?”

          “Would you call it a date?”

          “W… what? No. I mean, I guess it wouldn’t have to be—”

          “What if I…” she bit her lip, “What I mean to say is what if I would like to call it a date?”

          Laxus stared at her, his uniform soaked through, water dripping from his hair. “You…?”

          “What I mean to ask is… would you like to go on another date… again? Sometime?” She breathed.

          Another moment passed before a grin touched Laxus’s lips. “You’re something else, shortcake, you know that? Now, get in the goddam car before you get sick.” He swung the passenger door open and Hisui smiled, slipping into her seat, dripping from the rain. Laxus slid into the driver’s seat next to her, and twisted the key bringing the car to life.

          They drove in silence until they reached the edge of the palace grounds. The rain had lightened a little. Hisui reached for the door handle but Laxus reached out and took her hand. “Hey, on our next date I’ll pick you up. ‘kay, Princess? Just send me a note with the time, and I’ll be here.”

          Hisui felt her face grow warm again, she hesitated and then leaned forward, pressing a soft kiss to his cheek. “I’ll see you then, Laxus!” She jumped out of the patrol car, wet clothing stuck to her skin, but not before she saw the bright red blush spread across Laxus’s cheeks. She dashed back through the gates of the palace, towards the doorway. The rain had turned into a mist. After she put on dry, warm clothes she collapsed backwards onto her bed, and let her heartbeat finally slow back to normal. She let out a sigh. She wasn’t sure how she’d survive until her next night out.

From the 14th chapter of Fairy Tail City Hero. This chapter was a bit of an improvement from chapter 13. We got to not only have a small slice of life but we got a better reason for why the princess of Fiore escaped and wanted to see the outside world. Laxus at this moment had a soft heart and we got to see him take her out to enjoy her last moments of freedom sort of like a small date. However this sweet moment was stopped due to the three mercenaries (if you remember the giant village arc from the main universe series) did something to Laxus and are after the princess as a ransom. But however we see her stand up to them willing to risk her life for Laxus. But sadly this chapter was too short and didn’t leave much satisfied but compared to chapter 13 it was a minor improvement. I give this chapter a 6.5/10
