Chapter 13 Excerpt:

The thunder crackled beyond the window, echoing through the glass panes as the dark rolling sky sparked with shards of lightning. The rain shattered on the banks of the canal, the water rocking the boats docked alongside it. It was oddly soothing, the steady drum matching the cadence of their heartbeats, punctured by an occasional deep rumble from the clouds above. Despite the weather, the weak light of morning filtered through, bathing the two figures as they remained curled into each other – their breathing soft as they were pulled from sleep.

Natsu sighed, eyes blinking blurrily as he inhaled – petrichor and jasmine swirling together as they flooded his senses. He stretched against the cotton sheets, blankets rumpled and half dangling off the edge of the bed. He was lying on his stomach, one arm propping up the pillow while the other was bound around the blonde tangled at his side.

He smiled, jade eyes fond as he took in the slope of her jaw and lips, hidden under her messy locks from where she was tucked into him. Lucy's hands were trapped between them, one leg lazy hooked over his – her cold toes brushing against his calves. Too comfortable to move, the dragon slayer snuggled further into her, his grip around her waist tightening to haul her closer – fingers catching on the oversized shirt she'd slipped on in the early hours of the morning. She'd pilfered it from him when he'd gotten up to change and had refused to return it.

Natsu breathed deeply, his smile stretching into something predatory. As much as he enjoyed the feel of her bare skin, there was just something about waking up to seeing her in his clothes, the smoky scent of him lingering on her.

He could get used to that.

His eyes flickered down when his partner squirmed, her nose burrowing into his chest when he rolled over to his side to face her. He chuckled, voice gruff from sleep as he caught a lock of her hair, curling the golden strands between his fingers – admiring the way it glinted in the hazy light. He gave it a slight tug, biting his lip in amusement when Lucy whined, pinching his bicep in retaliation.

"Morning sleepyhead." He crooned, the timber of his voice sending a shiver down the girl as the last vestiges of slumber fled from her. Lucy squeezed her eyes shut tight, her lashes tickling his flesh.

"Too tired." She mumbled. Though now that she was awake, it was harder to ignore the sounds of the storm outside – the air charged and sizzling.

Chapter 12 Excerpt:

Her eyes flickered to his face when he pulled up slightly, head canted to the side – his bright hair tousled and matted from a faint sweat despite the cool air around them. His pupils had sharpened, the darkness siphoning the colour from his irises as starlight glinted silver in their reflection. He glared down at the cobblestones below.

The sound of laughter floated up to them as two, no three – men stumbled drunkenly out into the road from the inn. The dragon-slayer forced back a snarl, his fingertips scraping against the grain of the shingles. His hands twitched, agitation goading his magic toward the surface of his skin.

"Would it bother you if I broiled them?" The pinkette grumbled, voice guttural as if he did indeed wish to inflict pain on the strangers that were now loitering in the street. He was still glowering below but turned when he heard a breathy chuckle by his ear.

Lucy was also looking down into the road. She was pink in the cheeks as she was laid out below him, her flush reaching down her bare chest, below the shirt bunched up to her neck. She squirmed a bit uncomfortably. Natsu exhaled sharply through his nose, his lips pressed closed when she rubbed her thighs together, the movement stirring against him. He resisted the desire to buck up into her – already missing her hand on him. Only a second more and she would have been—

He blinked. Lucy's brows were furrowed as deep butterscotch stared back up at him, waiting for his response.

He huffed.

"Sorry, I missed that. What did you say?" He asked, still distracted. A trace of a smile graced her lips, her blush darkening slightly at his attention on her.

"I said, as nice as that would be – we should probably not be doing…this up here." She managed to spit out, stumbling on her words towards the end as she fluttered her hand between them.

"Aye." He agreed reluctantly. Lucy squirmed again as he rolled his shoulders, trying not to stare as she fumbled to bring her shirt down. A twinge of disappoint rung through him as she covered herself.

"And Happy is in the room too, so…" she trailed off, seeming uncertain.

"Yeah." Natsu sighed, recognizing a dismissal when he heard one.

He shifted up to sit, leaving her personal space abruptly. He reached out a hand and Lucy took it gratefully as he tugged her up beside him. Seated, she swept her hair to the side. Seeing some still falling into her eyes, Natsu reached over to brush away the errant strands, tucking them neatly behind her ear – his touch lingering.

The heat that had been burning between them a few moments before had somewhat cooled, but this close, with the strain still tight within him – it was far from gone entirely. It was still there simmering in the undercurrent. He let his fingers trail down to follow the curve of her jaw, his thumb brushing against her cheek.

She bit her lip, eyes locked on his. The voices melted into the background as she scanned his face – tracing the line of his nose and the heavy fall of his lashes. Leaning into him, she pressed into his hand, nuzzling his palm.

"We should probably get to bed then," She whispered. He hummed in agreement but didn't move away. If anything, they had drifted closer until their lips were almost against each other. She let one of her hands rest on his bare shoulder, heat radiating from him and lulling her back into a false sense of calm as the tension coiling in her threatened to rekindle.

"We've got a long way ahead of us in the morning." She tried again. He nodded, his lips brushing against hers at the movement. Her heart skipped, rattling in her ribcage.

"Natsu." She breathed, the call of his name so soft that it was nearly lost in the breeze as her eyes fluttered shut. Her fingers tightened their grip on him, her breath catching as she waited for him to close the gap despite her instructions to the contrary.

Chapter 11 Excerpt:

"O'course weirdo," Natsu jibed, but the words were warm, soothing her in a gentle caress. He leaned back upon his forearms, his wild locks ruffled by the light spring breeze. They sat there in comfortable silence for a few moments, both allowing themselves to be enraptured by the stars above.

Or at least one of them was.

His eyes flickered over to his pretty blonde partner every few moments, drinking in the slope of her neck, and the gold strands that she'd folded over one shoulder. Her face was tipped up, bathing her features in white – the bow of her lips turned upward in contentment and the freckles dotting the bridge of her nose reminding him of the constellations above.

He'd come to crave moments like this. Of soft silence when the world faded away and left only the two of them. When there was no need for words and he could just soak in her presence – draw comfort from the shining light that was Lucy. Let her wash away the frigid dark that he kept hidden, the demon that once crawled under his skin.

That was, after all, what he was. What he had been made to be centuries ago by a brother he didn't remember. The man who had threatened to destroy the new family Natsu had come to care for – who had been responsible for Igneel's death, no matter how indirectly.

She kept them at bay – the black thoughts that threatened to drown him on his own. Lucy was the reason he could let his mask fall away – why he didn't have to pretend to be happy. She didn't mock him when he was at his worst, and she lifted him up at his best.

She was his best friend, his salvation. Words didn't do justice to how he felt for her. Love was too small a sentiment to describe the hope that crackled in his veins when he looked at her – when he could talk with her and laugh with her.

He wanted to be the reason she smiled – all straight white teeth and sparkling eyes – because Mavis, did she wreak havoc on his heart. He owed her the world, because she was his world.

Natsu chuckled quietly to himself at that, amused despite himself at the sappy direction his thoughts had veered. Gray would tear the mickey out of him if he found out.

"What's so funny?" Lucy's voice dripped in amusement, glancing down at him through her lashes.

"Nothing much." His grin widened, flashing sharp incisors as he let his head loll to his shoulder. Jade irises contracted as he took in the way her fingers buried into the fabric of her clothes, paler than they should have been.

His smirk became absolutely predatory as he watched the tremor crawl down her spine, the wind whipping colour into her cheeks. "Cold?"

A bark of wry laughter filled the air between them as she rolled her eyes.

"You're never going to let that go, are you?"

"Not a chance."

Chapter 1 Excerpt:

Natsu Dragneel was not an idiot.

Sure, he was hard headed and hyperactive to a fault. He could be childish, whiny, and brash. He was often oblivious to basic social norms - but he blamed that on his lack of human contact as a kid. There was a part of him that had always been a bit wild, and he saw no reason whatsoever to change that.

So when the waitress at lunch batted her lashes at him, and brought them a free fish for Happy, he knew exactly what was happening. Well… okay, it might have taken a little longer than that, but that was because he’d had his eyes glued to the menu as he salivated over the different options. Lisanna had recommended the small curry shop in the tiny coastal village where he and Lucy had finished their latest job.

The server gently placed the steaming bowl in front of him with a flirtatious smile.

“Let me know if you need anything else sugar.” She winked, jutting her hip out to rest her tray against it. As she walked away, her short skirt swished back and forth with a bit more zest than strictly necessary. His attention was brought back to his table when he heard someone clear their throat loudly in annoyance.

Chopsticks already in hand, he glanced curiously at the blonde sitting across from him. She had her arms crossed over her chest, fingers tapping against the skin of her forearm as she glared at him. Shoveling food into his mouth, he just raised his eyebrow at her.

Chapter 10 Excerpt:

The crash of explosions echoed through the air as they hurtled through the forest. They wove their way through the knobbled roots, the crunch of leaves audible under their boots. Breathing heavily, Lucy pushed past the low hanging branches, ignoring the sting of stray twigs as she followed closely behind the dragon slayer. Happy hovered above them as they neared the origin point of the scream, feeling the crisp edge to the air as it cooled. She ran faster, sensing the telltale frost of Gray’s magic.

A moment later, they entered a clearing, skidding across the dirt at the scene in front of them. The cliff wall before them was crumbling, chunks of the rock face splintered around the open space where nine wizards were facing off.

Her eyes first caught on the two closest to her, a vice grip clenching her heart as she gasped. Juvia Lockser stood by the tree line, her shoulders hunched as she favored her left leg. Her arms were braced before her, a watery dome glistened in the sunlight as it absorbed the consistent impact of stones ricocheting in her direction.

Her image was hard to focus on however, as it wavered between compact and fluid. Natsu growled at the scene, recognizing the waves emanating from the water woman. Her shield was evaporating under a maelstrom of flame accompanying the falling boulders. Her pale face streamed with sweat, though she didn’t rise from her protective posture even as her knees began to shake. Before she could fall, ice shot through her magic, solidifying it as the temperature dropped.

Juvia’s neck whipped back as a figure stepped up beside her, a hand reaching out to curl under her shoulders, holding her up. The water mage stuttered, her eyes shining in amazement.

“Gray-sama!” She breathed.

Their opponents across the field paused, shifting to a defensive stance as they eyed the new comers. Lucy and Natsu stood a few yards away, watching for any sudden movements even as a spark lit their memories. The celestial mage first glanced at the five standing furthest from them, dismissing them as she focused on the two who has been attacking her friend directly.

The shorter of the two was trim, his dark brown suit blending into the crags behind him. His lick of green hair stuck out like a weed, and a singular monocle covered his right eye. She gasped as she recognized him suddenly, though she hadn’t seen him years.

Chapter 2 Excerpt:

"You're my best friend Luce, I'd do anything for you." The sounds rumbled through him so that she could feel it down to her toes. Their faces were only a few inches away once more, but she tried not to let it affect her. It was rare to see Natsu like this, the green undertones in his irises visible once more. Besides, his grip was tight enough that she didn't think she could move back if she wanted to. She settled for moving her hands so they rested against the lapels of his jacket, twining her fingers into the fluffy white of his scarf.

"I promise I won't tell Happy you said that." She smiled, lightening the heaviness of the mood. His words had sent a thrill through her and she was precariously close to blushing again. Still, her joy was palpable, and he could see it brightening her eyes for the first time since they'd returned to Magnolia. He smirked at her, teasing. It was true, the exceed would have thrown a fit if he was here. Happy was his best friend, but he had still meant what he had said. He cared about them both, though he recognized that it wasn't in the same way.

He chuckled and leaned in to rest his forehead against hers, his throat contracting when he remembered doing the same thing once before with her future self. He shook off the thought, unwilling to go down that road, it surfaced in his mind often enough as it was. Not to mention when -

He shut that memory down hard.

"You wouldn't dare." He teased, one of his canines catching on his lip as he simpered. Lucy giggled at that, relishing in the cheerfulness.

"Wanna bet?" She pestered back, amused when he snorted at her. He began rubbing his thumb in slow circles against her spine, a glint in his eyes as he stared at her. Her heart thudded in ribcage, resonating in her ears loudly enough that she missed the quick beat of the fire mage's.

Chapter 3 Excerpt:

This mission was a disaster.

She and the team had set out from Magnolia a few days ago, though Wendy was unable to accompany them. Lucy shook her head. Looking down at the shallow gash on her arm, she wished they had waited for the younger girl to tag along. She was battered, bruised, and ninety-nine percent sure she had managed to cut open her bottom lip earlier on in her fight.

She had been separated from the rest of her team when they had come across the abandoned town where their mission originated. Finding a set of hastily drawn markings in the main square, Erza had suggested the blonde try and translate while the others began to explore. Unfortunately for Lucy, that left her wide open to attack.

She had considered calling out for her friends, but the sounds of shattering ice, gliding steel, and the telltale heat of Natsu's magic stopped her. They had problems of their own to worry about. An hour later, she had managed to overwhelm her opponent before running towards what she hoped were her guildmates. She had only made it a few blocks when a fireball smashed into the storefront next to her.

Smoke burned in her eyes as she scrambled up from the ground. Coughing, Lucy edged towards the blackened crater that had appeared where the building once stood. Frantically, she squinted through the black haze surrounding the now crumbling ruins around her to spot a familiar face.

"Oi, Lucy! You alright?" He called from atop his perch on a broken church spire. He peered down towards the celestial mage who had her hair tied high on her crown in two ponytails. The twin blades of her Cancer form were both held in her left hand while the other was curled up against her chest. He squinted, noticing the dark liquid blending into the black fabric of her shirt. Anyone else would have missed it, but the coppery tang of her blood was heavy in air as he followed the scent to her.

A crash sounded near by and Lucy ignored his question in favor of a scream.

"Natsu, watch out!"
