"Seriously Natsu? Again?! "
Lucy's exasperated voice echoed through the stairwell of the couple's duplex after returning home from a trip to the local physician's appointment and some errands. Can't believe we're having this conversation again. Little did the other nearby tenants and neighbors know that this wasn't the first time that the two disagreed over his sometimes -overprotective nature instincts or the level of " safety precautions" for the sake of his mate's well being.
Bloody Hell ...
"I'm not a porcelain doll, y' know!" The wizard grumbled, arms crossing over her chest. "I mean, really!"
"Mhmmm." Nastu merely hummed in response with a lazy smirk illuminating those sage eyes much to her chagrin.
"Are you even listening to me right now?"
"Course I am , beautiful" came his reply without missing a beat. "But damn." Difficult to miss the hint of a flirtatious purr in the fire wizard's voice or how his eyes swept over his mates form in apprecation that sent her pulse jumping into a frenzy . "Do you know what seeing ya' all flustered like this does to me? I mean you're even more adorable, gorgeous, and irresistible than you already are right now. Kissable too."
"Well, th-thank you" Lucy mumbled, heat rising and pooling in her cheeks. God knows how she couldn't but be a little subconscious over the effect of his natural charms despite being irritated. "But I don't think no's really a good time for flirting."
"Aw who says?" Natsu challenged with a throaty chuckle. Agree to disagree, princess ." Notto mention the gleam of mirth dancing in his eyes or the languidly smooth empathis on one of her beloved nicknames that he knew turned her knees to jellow .
Cocky bastard..
And damn were those supple hands currently settled on the curve of the summoner 's waist distracting in all the best possible ways.
"This couldn't be a more perfect time for flirting…"
One of the dragon slayer's hands was reaching to drag the blonde's locks through his fingertips. and Holy Hell did that blush deepen all thanks to that shit-eating of his and the way he continued to play with her hair .
Fuck ... there he goes again.
"Don't you think,Luce?" He finished, twirling, and tucking a stray tendril behind her ear as if to puncture his point further.
Damn it...
God damn did all those calculated ministrations kickstart the flustered girls heart into overdrive .
Again. So hard to focus right now. He 's that good…
As if that soft gasp tha wasn't t slipped out of her mouth wan't already enough. And pretty clear that noise undetected by Natsu if the way his sage eyes were glittering like coals was any indication.
"Someone' s flustered" His words came out as infuriatingly goading and yet velvety at the same time. " But I know you're into this as much as I am…. and you're falling prey to my charms." Natsu let his thumb lightly graze along the contour of her cheek. "Oh yeah. I can tell. Your heart's racing and everything." Now the fire dragon slayer wizard's forehead was mere inches from Lucy's. All that was needed for for her heart rate to skyrocket for the third time just as he so brazenly pointed out.
"Nastu..." the blonde started only for the words to die in her throat when her breath hitched from Natsu 's lips brushing against hers.
Shit...
"Are...you…trying…to…distract...me?" Was what she finally managed to force out, desperate longing seeping into her breathy tone.
"Me? Never." Natsu denied, the soft vibrations of his smoky timbre against her lips sending a tingle rippling across all those nerves. "Just having a little fun, is all."
"You are?"
"And I succeeded!"
Wait...what!?
Nastu was pulling back ever so slightly from Lucy without so much as a warning. God did that unwelcome disruption not fly so well with the mage who moaned in protest.
That pompous little...
"So that entailed luring your your mate in?" She eventually objected with a sour glare at her pompous -ass-of boyfriend." And then leaving her hanging? Pretty sure that classifies as some kind of entrapment! Just how much of a shameless flirt can you be?!"
"Opps.. guess you're not a happy camper right now," Natsu snickered, flashing her an awfully impish grin as if he were caught red-handed like a delinquent high school student drinking in class. "I mean I'm definitely a 'shameless flirt 'when it comes to you but I'm not going to leave you out to dry like some emotionally or romantically dead-beat loser. Knew exactly what I was doing and can't get over how cute my girl is when she's all flustered. No need to worry though." He gave a sly-yet-rougish wink that nearly left the summoner 'a heart stuttering.
Not that I'm going to tell him that.
"I promise to deliver on that promise of plenty of kisses and affection that we both crave so much. You'll see!"
"I... you ... y-you're such an ass!" Lucy stammered, entire face flushing an deeper shade of crimson. "Did you even hear what I said about... God damn it!"
"You mean about you not being made out porcelain?" Natsu was quick to supply, automatically clueing in. "Yes Luce, I did." His voice was all business now but more patient than cross. "And you're definitely right but that busted ankle of yours might as well be with how fragile it is right now. That's what having a sprained ankle means. A finger pointed down at Lucy 's sandal -clad foot with a tensure bandage .
"And why I need to carry ya'. Either way, you wanna get upstairs, right?"
"Well gee thank you for stating the obvious and what everyone already knows about sprained ankles." Lucy huffed, rolling her eyes. "And of course, I wanna get up upstairs but why is carrying me all the way up and down even necessary? You already gave me a piggyback to the clinic for God's sake! Not to mention pushing me around on a god damn platform cart while we were shopping for medicine and other supplies at the pharmacy without letting me set foot on the ground even once!
"Both were necessary to keep you from falling again." Natsu reasoned, still not budging on the matter; even when in the process of methodically removing the key holder's shoes. "Plus, I love having ya' in my arms and that cart had lots of room for you to comfortably stretch out on. Pretty practical if you ask me."
"More like total overkill!" Lucy tossed back, vein ticking above her eye. "Anyway, I might not be as fast, but can still definitely make my way up and down the stairs with a walking assist! Can't you just let me try at least?!"
"No can do, sweetheart," Natsu rebutted with a shake of his head. Good lord it was astounding how this extremely persistent man was able to unwittingly shoot down all of her ambitions for any kind of semi-independent mobility. and yet be so damn patient and even-tempered at the same time. "Can't risk you missing a step and taking another tumble down these stairs."
"Ugh...Oh My God- you're unbelievable!" Lucy couldn't help but yell; throwing her hands up in ggravation. which was met with an infuriating laugh of amusement from a certain pyro .
"The most unbelievable of them all.! Now quit complainin' relax and enjoy the ride up to our apartment!"
"Natsuuuu!"
Such a debate became a common occurrence in the Dragneel-Heartfilia household over the week with neither Natsu or visiting friends— Celestial spirits included- letting Lucy out of their sight or use stairs by herself. The extremely disgruntled mage would often gripe about her "stupid over-protective boyfriend and friends" even though ;despite secretly melting from being in the dragonslayer's arms all the time along with the rest of his "TLC." Not so much with Ezra, however, who'd often insist on personally escorting Lucy up and down the stairs herself ;when it wasn't by Natsu, Happy or anyone else.
My God is that woman overly cautious! It's beyond irritating!
Other than that, one minor pet peeve, Lucy supposed she couldn't really complain too much. Not when she was blessed with spending quality time with the love of her life and phomoneal comrades/friends who were all more than willing to keep her company. Well, okay save for that one time involving a nonsensical squabble about ailment remedies between Natsu and Gray one day.
"I'm telling you— these will help Lucy feel better!" Natsu insisted, dumping a paper bag of what could be described as god-awful-Scotch-covered-eye-sores-with-strings-attached on the counter. "See?" A hand patted the side of the misshapen bundle of items.
Uh...
Lucy meanwhile, couldn't help but steal a furtive glance of disbelief from her coral-haired soulmate; who was currently sniffing the unsightly abominations with an particularly intense focus for some inexplicable reason.
"The hell are ya' doing , charcoal-brains?!" Gray demanded, voice coming out in a mixture of incomprehension and disdain. "And what even are those things?"
"Inspecting these babies for germs," Natsu replied with an eye roll as if the answer was the most obvious in the world. "Duh! What else would I be doing'? Can't have em' infecting Lucy. And they're a supposed to be a special kind of talisman for health and good luck. Even an ice overrated snowcone like you should know that. Basically Scotch-taped covered piles of leaves and Vic patches wrapped in tissue paper. If I hang these around the apartment, then they should do wonders for Luce's health."
"You know by gradually sucking the virus toxins from her body until she's better," he tacked on with an 'exuberant grin. "Or so I heard from Nab, Maco, and Wakaba. Dudes bought entire boxes full for 20 jewel a piece from a pop-up vendor of some merchant in the market. The lady swears by them and everything. Either way, aren't they awesome?! Right, Luce? His head turned towards Lucy. "Bet you'll be better in no time!"
"I ...uh... " The blonde sputtered, still too bewildered for words." I don't…."
"Oh Good God," Erza muttered, smacking a palm against her forehead. "Of all the—-Natsu, I highly doubt those would be effective in treating Lucy's illness."
"Huh? Why wouldn't they be?"
"Well..."
"Oh jeez...How can anyone be this dense?"
Gray was shooting out of his seat at the table with an exasperated noise. "Step aside fire boy, I'll find Lucy something. Her fridge should have some suitable ingredients." A hand pulled opened the door of the fridge before rummaging around inside much to Lucy's confusion Course why a random assortment of food in the form of onions and ginger Along with some lemons were being cleared out was anyone's guess.
"Onions, lemons and ginger" The ice wizard announced, sounding tremendously pleased with himself. "Should be just what the doctor ordered for Lucy. I'm gonna chop these up and boil em' with some cinnamon in a tea for her."
Wha? Is he for real?!
"Wait….I'm sorry you want me to drink what now?"
Lucy 's brain short circuited with an owlish blink at the same time that some revolted noises could be heard from the rest of Team Natsu. More specifically Salamander 's gagging and Erza nearly vomiting in her mouth.
"Well at least Lucy gets it" Gray voiced aloud to no one in particular with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. "Now to find a knife and boil some water for the tea."
"Yo, you out of your mind, ice-dick?" Natsu demanded, more than a tad incredulous. "It's pretty obvious she doesn't want what you're selling and can't say I blame her." His eyes narrowed in revulsion with a flash of exposed canines poking through his lips. "That kind of 'tea 'sounds disgusting."
Just for Natsu's striking emerald eyes to immediately soften when landing on Lucy.
"Don't worry Luce," He soothed, his voice lifting to a sympathetic coo. "I'll protect ya' from that big meanie and his stupid ".
" Uh Yeah, please do," Lucy beseeched, words trembling slightly. Honest to God that the astral almost shuddered at the prospect of such a horrendous-tasting tea invading her tastebuds. "I don't even want a sip of that stuff."
"And Why would any sane person expect you to? Not me or Ezra. Can't say the same about droopy eyes here." Natsu tossed a pointed glare at Gray which was readily met with a raised middle finger. "You really that hell bent on brewing whatever nasty crap you call tea, buddy? Then be our guest and drink it yourself. But keep it away from Lucy and out of the kitchen. We don't need that shit stinking up the place."
"Tch— shows what you know" came Gray's disparaging scoff by way of a reply. "Pretty sure you wouldn't know a proper health remedy was if it hit you in the face."
Uh-oh ...
Gray's words really seemed to touch a nerve judging by Natsu's offended growl.
"The hell is that supposed to mean, stripper?" He sniped, vein throbbing in his forehead " What? Are ya really looking' to piss me off or somethin'?"
"Yeah, just maybe I am!" Gray countered with salty heat and matching his rival glare for glare. "You want to cry about it? And you heard what I said. God ... no wonder Lucy's still sick what with your clueless ass and all failing to take care of her.."
"You take that back asshole!" Natsu seethed, foaming rabidly at the mouth. Or rather smoke circumventing from his nose and mouth what with him being a fire dragon demon and "literal hothead "and all.
"Make Me—ow!"
The rest of whatever Gray was trying to say was cut off by a flying "talisman" that just struck him point blank in the face.
"Hey!" He snapped, grudgingly rubbing his temple with a hand." The hell was that for, ya damned fire hazard?!"
"What do ya think, dumbass ?" Natsu flung back without missing a beat. "You got some nerve….insultin 'a dragon's pride like that!"
"Yeah? So what?"
"Seriously?! You pretty much implied I don't know how to take care of my own mate!"
"Yes and?"
Uh-oh...
"And it was a total dick move, dingus! That's what! Where's your sense of common decency!?"
"Wasted on incompetent dipshits like you, apparently!"
"What was that, frosty?!"
"You heard me "
"That's it you, walking freezer burn! Them's fighting words!"
"Oh yeah? Bring it flame-bitch!"
"Take this!"
Oh god ….
The next thing anyone knew were that that the bickering rivals were launchimg projectiles—aka "Talismans" at each other much to her dismay.
No...
"No fighting in our kitchen!" Lucy squeaked; cadence raised to a higher pitch. " You could really break something! So stop!" The afflicted girl couldn't help but watch with alarmed eyes when her desperate pleas seemed to fall on deaf ears. Something always gets completely wrecked or destroyed when these two butt heads over anything!
Seriously, who could forget all the destruction those two left in their wake or millions of jewel racked in subsequent, property damage during their last scuffle? Like say the accidental beheading and subsequent toppling of that statue which also happened in Hargeon's beloved town founder for instance? Not to mention the scorched garden of the mayor's prized purple and white orchids. Not Lucy, that's for sure.
I really don't want them breaking anything….
Erza meanwhile. was practically frothing at the mouth from all that pent-up rage in a very-if-not-entirely-proverbial sense of the word.
"Good God—those two!" The re-equip mage ranted, vein pulsing right above her brow. "Always butting heads over one asinine matter or another! The hell is wrong with them anyways? Either way, enough is enough! I really should... no probably best not... Oh screw it!"
Erza was on the other wizards in a flash, banging their heads together with an audible crack. And good lord who could miss the stunned noises of pain that simultaneously cirumented their throats.
"OW!" Natsu and Gray whimpered in unison. "That really hurt ,Erza!"
"Yeah!?" Erza barked . "Well maybe you two dolts should've thought of that before you started acting juvenile and making a mess! I mean take you for instance, Gray! Disrespecting a dragonslayer's pride was a garbage move just as Natsu pointed out! Haven't both Master and UR taught you more sense than that? Oh, and let's not forget you doubting Natsu 's ability to effectively tend to care for Lucy despite doing more than a standup job so far for the most part! No wonder he's offended!"
"Hey, it's not my fault if the dude can't take a joke," Gray grumbled, defensive resentment leaking into his tone. "Or that he has a ridiculously overinflated and fragile ego."
"Neither helpful or okay, Gray!"
"Yeah, so there dickwad!" Natsu cut in with his tongue shooting out for good measure. "See?"
"Oh yeah... you really..."
"Oh no you don't!" Erza whirled on Natsu who shrank under the heat of her glare with another whimper. "And yes, I'm talking about you Natsu Ignatius Dragneel! Don't think for a minute that you're getting out of this scott- free!""
Oh shit ... Erza just used Natsu's full name…. She must mean business.
"What? Me, really?" Nastu spluttered, hands still raised in defense as if fend the intimating scarlet woman off. "What did I even do anyway?"
"Hmm, what did you do?" Erza questioned, rolling her eyes. Oh, and her words were just laced/ dripping/ trickling/ with just the right amount of pointed sarcasm. "Care to take a wild guess? How about those godawful abominations you call talismans for one? Look at them! Anyone can tell these are a sham! I mean really, Natsu! The hell were you thinking?! Normally, you're much better at sussing out onpossible scams and cons. How could you let yourself be duped out of your hard -earned money like that?"
"Aw- come on!" Natsu bleated "Didn't mean to, honest! All I wanted was to help Luce recover more quickly and honestly thought these things would help. That's all! I won't buy any more—swear to God! Just please don't bust my balls, Erza! I need those!
"Calm down. I'm not going to do that. It's easy to tell your intentions were pure regardless which is most important."
"Really? Thank you, you kind, merciful, woman!"
"Yes, yes,.. that's all fine and good," Erza chuckled in amusement with a light shake of her head as a response .
"Now about those talismans. They are a problem. " Erza's voice fell into a more sober tone with a hand cupping her chin in thought. "Word on the street is that Fiore is being targeted by a fraudulent band of thieves and con artists. Popping up in various towns and cities with those "vendors", posing as legitimate shop keepers and merchants —that sort of thing. and from what I've heard , these people are trying pass off bogus goods as authentic souvenirs."
"So, ya think there's some kind of link between those and what I bought?" Natsu quickly caught on matter-of-factly. "As in all that crappy stuff you mentioned ?"
"Yes, precisely that. I'm sure we can all agree that how poor unassuming customers are being ripped off by those criminals just isn't right. Something must be done."
"Okay—like what?"
"Helping folks of Magnolia getting their money back for one —yours included. And there's also the matter of filing a report with the magic reinforcement unit and other authorities . They'd want to be informed of the culprits' criminal activity ASAP. In fact, why don't the two of us go now?"
"What? Ya' mean that you actually want us to leave right now?!"
Natsu visibly balked at Erza's suggestion as if being ordered to watch Ichyia perform a strip tease in nothing but a pair of - sparkly -Leather, assless chaps.
"I.. don't…"
"Yes, I figured that would be the most efficient course of option" Erza reasoned, lifting a questioning brow at his response. "Why? Is there a problem?"
"Uh yeah..., a big one!" Natsu protested with a vigorous nod. " Going now would mean leaving Luce's side" His whole tone shifted into a whine. "Especially when she's still not feeling 100% or if it means being without her in my arms for too long. And right now, looking after Lucy and being able to spend time with her is what's most important. Not to mention what I want the most! Please… just let me take good care of my mate and queen and hold her! That too much ask?"
"No, and your feelings are understandable. That in mind, it would still be unethical to turn a blind eye to petty crimes at the expense of innocent civilians."
"Yeah, of course. But it's just…."
Sheesh… Natsu's being a bit of a drama king right now. I mean I love the guy and its always great having him around for the most part despite the fact that he sometimes gets on nerves. Completely normal for all couples even ones like us but that's besides the point. Anyways, he's being super sweet and everything but there's no need for him to blow a gasket when they would only be gone for a couple hours at most. Plus Erza's right about putting a stop to those jerks and getting those other people compensated. and it's not like I won't be okay without them or by myself a for little bit...
"Hey guys," Lucy finally spoke up after a few minutes, drawing their focus of everyone's eyes back on her. "Not that your efforts and spending time with me aren't appreciated, but pretty sure I'll be fine on my own for a little while if you want to report those people and get your money back." No real heat to her words though.
"Hmm... don't think that's a good idea, "sweetheart." Came Natsu's reply, his timbre pitched soft; though she didn't miss the pleading note in his words. "You're still not in the best shape right now. Like Mavis knows I don't really feel comfortable leaving you alone to fend for yourself right now, y' know? I mean what if ya' end up barfin' with your head over a toilet bowl or falling again?"
Not really that much of an nasty shock to say the least especially seeing how the couple were practically inseparable ever since that hazardous incident at the party.
"Don't be too surprised if Natsu's refuses to leave your side." Levy's kind voice from a recent lacrima video call echoed inside Lucy's head "or even let out of his sight-or sense range for that matter. You remember learning about how dragon slayers, demon's and hybrids are essentially hardwired to be extremely protective and territorial of their bonded, right? Well those already -fierce instincts are get an even bigger boost during certain times... like say when they're in heat . Not to mention when their soulmates are sick, injured or both in your case. In any case, Natsu's no exception especially with how you're one of the people he's been most protective of even before you two were officially an item node as we all know. Anyways, be prepared for him wanting to remain extra close to you and special attention. Think plenty of affection and physical contact like snuggling, kisses, doting on you —things like that which is always a bonus. And pretty sure he is going to hoard you. I mean the dude going isn't gonna take kindly to anyone he feels is trying to steal/snatch you away from him. Gajeels the same way. It's not so bad though."
Levy was right. Not that I'm complaining...
"We really should get going Natsu," Erza chimed in after a few minutes. The sooner these matters are sorted out the better. Either way, it shouldn't take us too long-a few hours tops."
"Yeah, I know..." Natsu replied , an unmistakable flicker of reluctance in his eyes. "But…I still don't want to leave Lucy right now…." Sage fully connected with honey-brown as a hand was reaching to gently caress Lucy's cheek. And Mavis knows she couldn't help but naturally lean into the warmth of his touch or the content smile forming on her lips.
"Pretty sure I made my reasons clear anyway."
"Yes, but…"
"Hey bro," Gray piped in —not unkindly this time."I can easily hold the fort down and keep Lucy company while you guys are out."
"Wow…Really?"
Natsu instantly seemed to perk up.
"Yeah, I'd be more than happy to. Plus, we can summon one of her spirits and Happy to help for a fun but chill time. That way, you can trust that your girl is in capable hands and won't be bored."
"Good point!" Natsu rhapsodized, bumping his fist with Gray's. "Thanks, bro!"
"Yes, I agree" Ezra concurred, an approving smile crossing her lips. "That's very gracious and cordial of you. Way to be a great friend."
"That's what I'm here for and my pleasure, Natsu."
"Guess you're not so bad after all"
"Course' not. I am pretty awesome, after all."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes... So, what about it, Luce?" Natsu went on to inquire, far more chipper now. " You gonna to be okay with Gray and some of the others taking over for a bit while Erza and me are out ?"
"Yeah Lucy, what he said," Gray followed up with a cordial smile of his own. . "You and me can kick it and chill for a little while. Maybe even break into the candy stash and watch movies with everyone."
"Sure!" Lucy chirped, heart leaping in excitement from the prospect of a low-key but fun kickback with splendid company. "And Natsu and Erza can, join when they get back from their errands, right?"
"Yup! Now here," Natsu instructed, pushing a glass of water on the table towards her." "Drink some more of your water. Anyways, Erza and I can bring back some goodies from the local bakery after too,. You good with that ,Erza?" He tossed a hopeful glance the armour- clad wizard's way.
"Sure—sounds good to me!" Erza jumped on board, eyes lighting up with delight. A trip to the bakery would be most excellent. All those delicious confections, yummy treats like gourmet cupcakes and strawberry shortcake. Ooooooh." The scarlet woman's hands clapped together in giddy enthusiasm.. "I can practically taste it now —so divine!"
"Yeah but think about lava- brains though" Gray quipped without missing a beat. "What are the odds he'll devour whatever he doesn't give or share with Lucy?"
"Ohhhh valid point" Erza echoed, lips pulling up into / a smirk. I wouldn't put it past him to cleanin out half of the bakery's front counter. Now why don't we get a friendly little wager started? Is 20 jewel acceptable?"
"Sure. I'm game."
"Ooh... why not make it ...30?" Lucy joined in with a light giggle. "I mean what's to say he won't clean out most of the shops and the other desert shops in town?"
"Hey! Not cool!" Natsu objected, though such sour words were belied by the glimmer of mirth in his shamrock eyes. "Makin' bets about whether or not I'll stockpile deserts and shit! I mean talk about takin' cheap shots at your leader! I am Salamander of Fairytail, damn it! Alpha drake of the dragon nest, and a Mighty and fierce dragonslayer -demon hybrid! I deserve your respect and praise!"
"Oh?" Erza spurred him on, clearly entertained by the salamander's theatrics. " Is that a fact?"
"Damn right it is!"
"And you, Luce!" Natsu bemoaned with extra melodramatic flair. "Even my own precious soulmate is betting against me and egging' the other two on?" Impossible not to notice how Natsu's hand clapped over the heart in a display of feigned offence. "How you' wound me, woman!"
"Opps," Lucy uttered, a teasing lilt to her words. "My bad. Are they really that wrong though?"
"Ooh, you got me there!" Natsu jibed s, lips breaking into a cheek into a cheeky grin agrin that set Lucy 's heart all pit-patter. "Touché and shit."
"Just as I suspected."
"Yeah, I figured!" Natsu laughed, mussing her hair with one hand. "Anyway, how about Erza and me pick up some dumplings on the way home? Maybe a Party pack with plenty for everyone to share? We can get some other things for dinner too— Our treat!"
"Ooh yes please!" Lucy crowed, mouth practically watering from the zesty-flavored-packed dumplings from one of many Magnolia's local fusion joints. "Can some be fried? And be filled with beef? Maybe tandoori chicken and cheese too? And could I have 3 or 4?"
"Yeah, sure." Natsu agreed, goodnaturedly as always. "Whatever you want. You really must be cravin that stuff today, huh?" And God she couldn't help how her heart stuttered at the way her grin morphed into a another kind of smile entirely; More subtle, tremendously fond, even. "Normally I'm the one askin' for all this different kind of food. Good to know that you have great taste and that I'm rubbing off on you more and more each day though."
" Uh, yeah… thanks. Though you don't think it's a bit much?" Lucy questioned, now glancing up at her boyfriend with a smidge of tentativeness. She couldn't help but second-guess her request especially seeing how it was partially driven by voracious craving for carbs. "Cuz I'm wondering if that many dumplings is a tad too many now."
Maybe something healthier would be better...
"What? Are you kidding?" Natsu refuted, bursting into stunned laughter . "Of course it isn't. Why would it be?"
"Well, when you put it that way" Lucy resounded in agreement, the corner of her lips twitching into a sheepish grin over how silly I'm being. "Guess I was overthinking it just a little."
"See?" The dragonslayer pointed out, punctuated by a light tap on the tip of the blonde's nose with his finger. "Now you're getting it! And hey, look at it this way! Whatever my princess and queen wants, she gets."
"Well, who am I argue to with that? Anyways, you guys heading out now?"
"Yeah," Natsu sighed, a touch of reluctance seeping back into his gravelly timbre. "Guess we oughtaa . Really don't like the idea of leaving your side though there are some things to take care of. And besides the sooner we leave, the sooner I can get back to you."
How the summoner's heart gave a little thump at those touching words that reached her ears!
"What you're saying is definitely true" Lucy breathed, finding herself adrift in those arresting eyes of his. Onyx with flecks of jade that always seemed to shine in just the right angle of sunlight on bright days. And did she mention the sensation of Natsu's fingertips brushing her cheek, the tucking a stray lock of blonde hair behind her ear? How it all sent sparks racing through her nerves! "And I can't wait for you to get home so that I can be in your arms again too."
"Mhmm yeah" Natsu hummed in agreement., stroking along the side of her temple now. "I'm definitely looking forward to all that too. Also cuddling with ya' on the couch of course. Should be great! Anyway, make sure to take it easy and stay hydrated, okay? And don't forget Erza and I are one just one call away if you need anything."
"Okay, Thanks Natsu."
"Anytime," he rumbled with that same affectionate smile that always melted her heart . "See you soon, Luce." Lips pressed a light kiss atop the celestial mage's crown with a hand palming the side of her head. God such a rush cozy seeping through her bones and warming her soul to the core.
I truly love him and that'll never change..
"Yeah, likewise.. Hurry back, okay?."
" You know I will."
"That I do".

A/N: All right that's Chapter: 5 ,folks! Apologies for the delay again! As stated previously, both my beta and I have been busy for different reasons related to differing schedules, life circumstances, responsibilities, appointments, hobbies and a somewhat more active social life among other things (with increasing vaccination rates unless everything goes south again). Not that this has necessarily prevented me from writing or working on my wips but there's also been days where I haven't been feeling well, a case of writers block or there simply just not being enough hours in a day to accomplish everything I want for whichever reason lol. In any case, this chapter is posted now and I'm trying to get back into working on writing projects more often. So that's that at least.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter! Once again, please don't hesitate to drop a comment/review and share. Check out the rest of my writing and stay tuned for new projects along with updates to my other WIPS too! ((Corresponding links are above in this post, bio and navigation bar if reading this on tumblr. Also in my FF and A03 profiles.) All right. that's all I have to say for now. Thanks to all my friends, mutals, followers and readings for their ongoing show of support over the years. You all rock! Take care until next time! Bye!
Relic of A Century Ago: 1
"Wake up, Link."
He awoke to the sound of...whatever that was. Moving his sight around, he saw things he linked to words he didn't know; colors, walls, floor.
The knowledge flooded his mind as he moved himself off the place where he'd been.
The sound was a voice, and it was different from his grunts of effort. Colors were how he could see the world, and these particular colors were blue and black.
To the side of the walls was the color orange.
He moved himself forward. His sight was drawn to the other thing in the place; a 'round' 'pedestal' holding a 'rectangle' thing.
Rectangle was a shape. A shape was how an item was. Round was also how something was shaped, but it wasn't a shape.
That was.. different. How was round different from rectangle?
It made sense only if he didn't think hard about it. So he didn't, and found himself in front of the 'pedestal' reaching for the rectangle thing.
"That is a Sheikah Slate. Take it. It will help guide you after your long slumber."
Slumber? He did just open his sight, (or his eyes, like the voice said?) so that's coming from slumber?
He heard more sound; not the voice, not what his feet had made when they'd hit the floor, but a sound he linked to stone, the thing the floor and walls were made of.
He moved to put the slate somewhere, moving his sight around the pedestal.
Next to the pedestal was a pile. He lifted the pile, seeing that it was many long strips of something not stone or him.
'Leather'.
He untangled the leather, wrapping it around himself with trial and error. He shifted it to the side, where the little shapes not made of stone or leather would rest, and he put the Sheikah Slate on those hooks.
He moved forward, towards where the sound linked to stone had come from; it was different from the walls.
The walls had grown; or maybe, they'd been like that anyway-into a 'hall' with larger shapes that were 'squares' and smaller shapes that were rectangles like the Sheikah Slate, but bigger.
He lowered himself, lifted his hands up to the shape in the middle of the not-large-not-small shape.
The top of the shape lifted, and he blinked in surprise. Reaching into the shape-it was 'hollow', he grabbed something that was new.
Lifting the new thing out of the hollow rectangle, he held it in both hands, pulling it out of the way it had been.
It turned to blue strips, and it went towards the slate by his side. He blinked, now knowing that this was not what items did when he picked them up.
He lifted the Slate, seeing the middle of it turn from back to blue.
There was the new thing in a little box on the slate, and he saw an image similar to it above it. There was a line of images, but only one was a different color.
[Old Shirt:]
[A thin shirt made long ago. It's coming apart at the seams, but it's better than nothing. The sleeves are a bit on the short side.]
He blinked, tapping the image of the Old Shirt.
Blue strips came from the slate an surrounded him for a moment.
He looked down, feeling the shirt. It's strange, but he knows it'll protect him at least a little bit, if the number next to the shirt's box had meant what he thought it did.
He turned towards the other hollow rectangle, lifting the top half like he did before.
Once again, the items were turned to blue strips and appeared next to the shirt.
[Well-Worn Trousers:]
[These old trousers are threadbare in spots, but they're surprisingly comfortable. The legs are a bit too short, though.]
He tapped the trousers. Like the slate had said, they're comfortable.
He lifts himself, moving along and passing the boxes.
The sound of his feet on the floor is different; is that because of the leather 'shoes' that had come with the trousers?
He stopped.
Something was in the corner, beside the wall.
He moved over, lowering himself.
It was small and blue, but not the blue of the walls, pedestal or where he was woken from. A dull blue.
He picked it up, seeing it in more detail; a hollow circle.
Thinking, he reached to touch his hair.
This was something for hair.
He gathered part of it, pulling the top hairs a bit.
Lifting the 'tie' with his other hand, he wrapped it around the hair he'd gathered.
After a bit of finagling, he got it right, with a good amount of hair still loose.
With that done, he moved along the hall, swishing his head from time to time.
He spotted another pedestal, this time orange.
"Hold the Sheikah Slate up to the pedestal. That will show you the way."
He lifted the slate, putting the side of it that had changed color downwards.
Was that fog in his head there before?
The pedestal moved the slate, the wall next to it moving upwards.
He closed his sight as the new thing-light, it was called light-appeared from the wall going into itself, wating a few moments before stepping into the light.
"Link... you are the light-our light-that must shine upon Hyrule once again."
Link? Who was Link? She was talking to him, was he Link?
"Now go."
He-Link, she could be talking to no one else-moved forward.
The stone floor changed. No longer was it smooth, but rough.
Just ahead, the floor was lifted-not the slight movement up or down nor the sharp steps, but a slightly curved taller step. He wouldn't be able to simply move over that.
Right before the high step was something else, and when he touched it he called it water.
He approached the high step. Reaching forward, he grabbed the rough stone, one hand higher than the other.
As if on instinct, his feet followed.
'Climbing' was easy, even as Link felt his stamina drain.
A new color: green was at where the walls and the steps ended.
When the ceiling ended and Link's feet met green, he heard a new sound.
Piano.
A song played as he continued to where the floor ended. First piano, then other sounds like trumpet, drums and another sound like a flute.
When it began to end, he looked to where the floor continued.
Well, no longer the floor. It was the ground now, because there was the green things that rustled under him.
Someone was there. Someone like him. Brown.
That would be his first focus.
✵ polaris. ch.1 - gone. [ MOVED ]
NOW MOVED AND REWRITTEN!! read on AO3, go to new blog for updates
characters. DPR Ian / Christian Yu / Mito, CL
a.n. I embarked on a new journey! I felt so inspired by dpr ian's single, "so beautiful" and I thought it was the perfect occasion for me to try and write something new. Let me know if you want to read more, my "author" twitter account is @darawonplease as always.
✵ ch.1 - gone.
「 ☽ Ian's POV」
"Pose for me Chae".
I hid a smile behind my beloved camera. I had captured countless breathtaking sights in every nook and cranny of the planet during my several trips with the DPR crew, but I perfectly knew, deep down, that Rin's beauty couldn't possibly be replicated by a still image. All her moves, little expressions. How perfect was the mole under her red lips?
Every view was unique, vivid with color, rich in sound and smells. Seeing her surrounded by the emerald colored sea strengthened my desire to just take her with me, make her hop on my motorcycle, and travel around the world. Just the two of us and our little adventures. Unfortunately, I had to suppress all of those fantasies for my own sake.
She leaned on an off-white wall, spreading her arms like an eagle ready to fly off, her usual bright smile printed on her lovely face. The Greek sun was kissing her golden skin. God sure had his favorites and Chae was one of them.
.
"Just like this?".
"Perfect".
.
I zoomed in on her face and noticed a rebellious lock of hair levitating in the warm breeze brought by the sea of Crete.
I took a few steps towards her and slowly brought my hand to the strand of hair covering her shiny eyes in the attempt of tucking it behind her ear.
.
"Here".
.
My heart sank. She avoided my hand, a slight hint of panic in her voice. I knew she did not want it to make it awkward for me. She was like that. Making people uneasy wasn't her thing.
"I-I got this!". She fixed her hair by herself.
That small episode perfectly mirrored the unrequited feelings I had been growing for a year and a half in her favor. I resented myself for not being able to keep those feelings from developing any further. That strong admiration slowly became a solid friendship and before I realized it, I was sucked into her world.
✵
She unknowingly became my muse, the source of my inspiration. I found myself clinging onto her way more than I was proud to admit. I couldn't lock up my feelings, even after knowing of Dabin's. Saying my friendship with him had inadvertently changed because of the sentiment we both had for Chae was an understatement.
Knowing her was both a blessing and a curse. If only I stayed home that day, the day of the networking party. I hated those events anyway. If only I didn't succumb to Dabin's insistences to attend that stupid event.
When it came to love, me and Chae were on the same page. It was during that trip to Santorini that she finally admitted to me, after a year of friendship, that she was in fact in love with someone, someone who didn't reciprocate her feelings.
Chae had always been very reserved, always averting the topic of love life and turning it into a joke. I hated myself for noticing. For noticing anytime her usual smile vanished when the topic was brought to the table. We were similar in a sense. I would look at her and see myself; hurting, perfectly knowing we had to let go but being unable to do so.
.
If I were you - 2NE1 ♪
I wish I could love you
I wish you would love me
I wish we could be together just for a day
So I can let you go without regrets
The only one to listen would be me
Along with the burning candle
There's not much left to my heart
This beautiful house feels like prison
The tactless night sky is so beautiful
Sometimes, I want to push everything back and go out like you
I want to wash down my pain with alcohol, my sadness with laughter
But I don't .
✵ .
"To the future!".
Our beers almost clinked when I pushed hers with the bottom of my bottle, making her beverage overflow in bubbles and ultimately wetting her denim jacket.
"CHRISTIAN!".
She called out my name with indignation – if video-making was my passion, pranking Chae was second in line.
"Sorry Chae, I couldn't help it".
"Idiot". She stood up from the deckchair and annoyed, removed her jacket, revealing the oversized graphic tee hidden under.
"Anyway, this place turns into something completely different at night".
"Right? It's incredible how the view changes when it's kissed by the moonlight". She sipped at what remained in the bottle.
"They're taking an awful lot". I whined.
"I thought they were just buying more booze, maybe they're drinking it by themselves". She chuckled, covering her mouth with one hand.
.
I tried to enjoy those few fleeting moments alone with her as much as I could. I couldn't let myself go any closer than that. I couldn't believe how well I could cover up my feelings for her. Those precious sentiments lied safe deep inside me, not even Dabin knew, that's why he left me with the woman of his dreams with no second thoughts.
What a terrible friend I was.
.
She suddenly crossed her arms, uselessly trying to endure the cold, her body shivered when the night breeze hit the hotel terrace where we decided to spend our last night in Santorini.
"Here". I placed my green jacket on her shoulders, I couldn't stand to see her suffer in silence. Not even cold.
"I can get another jacket from my room".
"Your room it's too far from here, just stay". I stopped her from standing up again.
"Thank you...". She held onto the jacket, closing it with her hands and smiled at me with gratitude.
The waves crashing on the beach in front of us made the perfect background for the conversation that slowly deepened as the night fell onto us, brightening Chae's face with a slight glow. It all looked too serene not to be a sweet dream.
"Will you ever talk about the person you're in love with? We've been friends for while, but that part of your life is still unknown to me" - I blurted out because of the extra shots I had. If only I didn't ask something so stupid...
She was clearly taken aback by my sudden question, she averted her eyes and reached for the glass shot she placed at the side of her deckchair.
"You know what? Nevermind". My stupid mouth started blabbering again.
She drank the shot, the alcohol in her glass glistening under the moonlight.
"The person I love. Jiyong. That bastard...".
"Chae...".
"If only he knew I'm still not over him after all these years, I'd make myself pathetic".
That fucker. I burned in envy at the thought of him choosing to reject Chae's love, when I couldn't even express my true feelings.
It was clear she was fighting hard to prevent her eyes to pour out all her pain. She looked up to the sky, avoiding my gaze.
"To be truthful, I accepted Dabin's invite to come to Greece with you all just because I wanted to flee from him. I couldn't stand to see Jiyong at the company anymore".
Witnessing the tears travel down her cheeks for the first time broke my heart. I couldn't forgive my stupid self for asking. I wanted to blame the alcohol, but I knew deep down - the toxic curiosity of knowing why she was hurting so bad was the true culprit. I felt weak. Unlike Chae, I just couldn't let go of the person I loved. I preferred to suffer in silence, loving her from afar. Never touching her, keeping my safe distance, but never letting her go - like a coward.
I caressed her back as she wept in silence. She then embraced me tightly, the sound of her sobbing truly agonizing.
"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner Ian, you're a real one", she whispered, destroying me. I couldn't help but hold her even closer to me, her body shuddering against mine made me feel all her pain. All of it.
Being a good friend to her was all I could do.
If only I knew that would be our last night together, I would've embraced her even more tightly. What a fool I was for expecting her to always be my side.
✵
"Man, she already took off with the plane to LA, she didn't want to interrupt your sleep".
Dabin placed his hands on my tense shoulders. I didn't even have the chance to say goodbye properly.
And just how unexpectedly she crashed into my life, she was gone.
.
.
ps. I embarked on a new journey! I felt so inspired by dpr ian's single, "so beautiful" and I thought it was the perfect occasion for me to try and write something new. Let me know if you want to read more, my "author" twitter account is @darawonplease as always.

UNDER THE CRIMSON SKY by sunshineflying/armltagehux
Peace between the Resistance and the First Order is precarious at best. The Royal Families of the galaxy strive daily to maintain the peace through diplomatic meetings and in especially desperate times, marriage. When a Force-sensitive girl arrives on Starkiller Base, everything changes. The race to find Luke Skywalker causes tension to escalate, until a disaster greater than anyone could have anticipated thrusts the two factions into war.
As our young royals come into power, will they rise above, or will they succumb to the manipulation and plots and meet their own end, just as the generation before them? And how does the Force-sensitive girl Rey from Nowhere factor into everything?
A political drama set in a slightly-altered canonverse, with an ensemble cast, meddling parents, familial conflict, and of course, the Force. Eventual Reylo, eventual smut, eventual murder. Rating and tags will update as necessary.
Chapters 1 & 2 now live on AO3.
NEW || About Last Night...
[Canon/AU] Set right after 13x16. The flight back, the discussion we all deserved. Can they make this work? APOV, probably three-shot.
With my gaze lost somewhere outside the airplane's small, round window, I finally allowed my mind to relax. Between Caroline -Jackson and I's patient- being awake and talking again, packing our things and all the paperwork we had to fill, I hadn't gotten a moment to myself today – a moment to sit back and force myself to realize that last night was not a dream.

Under Cover: Chapter 1
Crossposting some fics to Tumblr. WHO’S READY FOR A SOULMATE AU MOTHERTRUCKERS?
Summary: Everyone is born with their soulmate’s name tattooed on their back. Some people spend their lives looking for their other half; some people ignore it completely.
Amy believes in fate but wishes she didn’t. Jake doesn’t believe but desperately wishes he did.
It was four years into their partnership when Jake Peralta asked Amy Santiago about the name on her back. This line of inquiry is universally considered Very Rude.
A person’s tattoo is sacred. It’s place on the left side of the spine and over the heart is private and almost never seen. Some people cover themselves up with the flesh colored patches sold in every pharmacy. Amy is the sort of woman who is always prim, proper and buttoned up to her neck, so she never feels a need unless someone’s going to see her naked.
“So who’s the special guy? Is it a John or Mark?” Amy opens her mouth to reply but it promptly cut off. “Both equally boring.”
“Shut up Peralta,” she grits through her teeth. It’s a bit of a sore subject for her.
“If I tell you, will you tell me?”
Amy rolls her eyes and returns to filling out her case reports. “This is not information I need or want.”
“Come on, this is so juicy. Trust me, you want to know.”
Sensing that Jake will not give up unless she relents and feeling an urgency to end the conversation, Amy purposefully closes the file in front of her and gives him her full attention.
“Mine is in another language. So, they’re probably halfway around the world and I will never meet them so…yeah. Whatever. Are you happy now?”
“Bummer,” replies Jake, smile unwavering. “Totally called that you’d need someone from a totally different continent to put up with you.” He feels instantly a little bad about this comment. After all, the US is a melting pot or something; there are tons of people from other cultures here, especially in New York. Maybe she’s kidding and it was a Spanish name.
“Mine’s a guy’s name,” he tells her with a big stupid grin on his face.
Amy rolls her eyes at his blatant lie and pointedly reopens her file.
“No, really. I swear.”
“Stop.”
“Maybe she’s a trans woman? Or maybe in the future boys and girls names will flip! I’ll only meet her when I’m like super old and she’ll be 20 and smoking hot. I’ll be filthy rich and after my wife passes I hire her as a nanny to take care of my three adorable kids. Then she’ll teach me to love again and we’ll get married.”
Amy, having sensed that she has totally lost him to his delusions, gets up to get a cup of coffee. He accommodates by yelling his tale loudly so the whole precinct becomes privy to their conversation.
Soulmates are a sensitive talk for a lot of people, but not everyone.
Rosa Diaz, for example, has a name tattooed on her back. It’s a lame, super common name written in neat curlicues. She does not care to meet him, is missing nothing from her life. Her dating life is going just fine without the help. Rosa keeps her beige name covers right beside the condoms in the saddlebag of her motorcycle.
She’s not alone. Many people actively choose not to seek out their soulmate. They’re content with the people they’re with.
Charles Boyle’s back now bears a different name than it did ten years ago. Around that time the name Lula vanished, replaced by Genevieve. This happens from time to time, when someone dies. He went through a period of mourning that was more than suitable for a woman he never knew.
The squad will never learn this, but their future captain, Raymond Holt, does not have a name over his heart. Kevin does, but it is not his. They chose each other and in his vows Raymond said that their union was all the more beautiful for having the choice.
Fast-forward to 2015 and Jake’s arms are encircling Amy, pulling her close to him in the dimness of the evidence lockup. She kisses him the way she does everything, with precision, care and skill. His chest is on fire, in a good way, this thing that he feels is suddenly devouring him whole and he never wants to stop.
“Okay,” Amy whispers against his lips as he caresses her hip and shoulder.
“Okay!” he replies enthusiastically.
And suddenly nothing will ever be the same again.
