Through Thought and Chaos

Gray x Reader Soulmate AU Word Count: 4168 Fluff, implied inneundos, rescue mission

Steady Drip. Cold Water.

The noise was starting to drive you insane. Forming slowly from a stalacite overhead, clinging onto the point before succumbing to gravity, falling into the small pool of water below. It fell with a small plink, sending ripples through puddle. The rhythmatic continuation drilled itself into your brain. Each droplet sounded like a hammer to your head. You had tried to stop it once, sticking your boot under the trajectory of the divers. It was a futile attempt. The sound continued, this time with a much more hollow tone as it hit the side of the leather material, and the icy water had seeped through almost instantly, numbing your toes. You had pulled back with a hiss of discomfort and pulled your legs up to your chest, seeking to preserve any remaining heat you had left. Your lips moved with the droplets, meekly mumbling a 'plink' each time they hit the water. Every breath exhaled as a faint mist, dispersing into the heavy air. Your only light source was a very weak, flickering glow from the torches situatied outside your cell, the bars of your cell would glow as if taunting you. Everything blended into a symphony of discomfort, the chill, the maddening drip of water, the uneven surface of your cell poking you no matter what angle you sat at, and now your damp boots. How on earth did you ever end up in a place like this?

It was naive to assume you could do this alone, you realised that now, and as slowly as the drip fell, you were starting to realise that rules were in place for a reason. After the incident with Macao in the mountain, Makarov had implemented a strict rule that no one was allowed to leave on jobs without the accompaniment of at least one other person. The only exception pointed to the S-Class wizards who were permitted solo pursuits. The rule had been pinned to the job request board. Impossible to miss, possible to ignore. You had taken it upon yourself to exempt yourself from this rule, despite not going through any proper trials to become S-Class, in that moment you had deemed yourself on the same level, and had left without bothering to tell anyone where you were going. You had planned to just be gone for a day or two, the possibility of a dark guild being involved hadn't even crossed your mind.

The hours dragged painfully on, each one hazing into the next. With no sight of any sunlight, you couldn't even tell what time it was, or how long you had been kept in the cell. The members of the guild barely acknowledged you. It was confusing. You were expecting taunts, heckles, something laced with malice, but all they did would pass by to slide meagre plates of food to you, and to point at the puddle in the cell when you asked for some water. The purpose of your capture was still unknown. You had no idea if it was a hostage situation or if you were about to become a sacrificial lamb. The cold, hard truth was that you had no real solution to getting out of this cell. The shackles around your wrists prevented you from using magic and there was no way you could just strongarm your way out through the front. With no real useful ideas, you began to fill your head with useless ones instead. How does Gajeel not break his teeth on iron? I bet he could just eat his way out of this cell. You let out a soft snort at the visuals that followed. I hope I can shower again before I die. You grimaced at the thought of being found dead and smelly. Then, the forbidden final thought slipped in; Gray is pretty hot, I guess.

"You think I'm hot?"

Your eyes snapped open, heart pounding, you whipped your head around in the dark cell to try and locate the source of the voice but your search revealed nothing. Your breath hitched in your throat and you shuffled slightly on the ground, finding new angles to be poked from. The chill suddenly felt much sharper.

"Gray?" You questioned aloud, voice shaky and uncertain.

"Yeah, who else? You think I'm hot?"

You let out a shaky laugh, moreso in disbelief at yourself than amusement. Shaking your head slightly you muttered, "that water must've made me sick. I'm going insane in my final moments...great."

"Final moments? Where are you?" The voice was distinctly Gray's. Smooth and oddly comforting in the moment. You searched the cell some more, eyes tracing along the moss-covered walls, but the voice was still coming distinctively from within you. 'He' was insistent and steady, containing a level of concern that you hadn't encountered from 'him' before.

"Oh, and now I'm in denial. Fantasic." Your response was dry and drawn out. Rolling your eyes you added, "I'm going to die in here, me, just let it happen."

"Look, I don't know how I can hear you either but I'm not part of your conscience," he pressed. "Now where are you, dummy?"

You blinked slowly. The entire situation was absurd. It made your frustration bubble and boil. "In a cell," you gestured, shackles rattling as you made over the top movements. Might as well embrace the madness if it has come for you this early.

There was an audible sigh. Exasperated. "Well I know you're real because no one else can be this dense. Where did you go?"

"Cave."

"You are insufferable. What did you do to end up there?"

Brows furrowing together you mused over why the voice was asking you this question. It should know if it came from your head. Engaging in the question, if not to just enjoy some conversation with some aspect of yourself that may or may not liked Gray, you started to answer, "I went on a job alone. The job that was there for a few days."

"The one that was posted right next to the new rule? I know the one."

Your jaw clenched in frustration. "Don't get sarcastic with me," you snapped, tone sharp. "If you are real how the hell are you even speaking to me right now or did you plant some weird telepathy device on me you freaky little pervert?"

"Yeah because if I had something like that you're totally the first person I'd plant it on." Another sigh. "I already told you that I don't know how I can hear you, I just can." His tone softened slightly, "stay put. I'll come get you."

"As if I can go anywhere," you muttered in response, resting your head on the uneven wall behind you, jagged rock pressing into your scalp. The torchlight flickered faintly in the corner of your eye, the shadows on the walls dancing mockingly as if to remind you how utterly trapped you were.

"Or I'll just stay here I guess. I'm nice and comfortable."

"If I ever see you again, you're getting decked, Fullbuster."

He didn't humour you with any sort of response to your promise, "where did that job say to go?"

"Gazania," you responded bluntly, the irritation clear in your tone. You strain to recall the details of the job poster. "Six-thousand Jewel," you manage to add. The damp chill of the cell hinders the ability to think, the steady drip from the stalacite pin-pricking every single memory you try to recall.

"Of course you remember the money," the voice belonging to 'Gray' chimed in with a slight laugh.

You were quick to cut him off, "I mean it, Fullbuster. If I ever see you again then you're getting decked." The sharpness in your voice softened as you exhaled. "I think the job was requested by a...Mr Flynn?"

"Got it," the voice replied with a confidence. It carried a smirk. "Mr Flynn in Gazania. Sit tight, and don't worry your pretty little head about it."

"You are actually insufferable," you shot back.

The voice disapeared, leaving you alone once again in the oppressive quiet of the cave. It was a suffocating fog, only pierced by the drip of the water. The torches outside of your cell flickered weakly as they struggled to survive. Shadows danced on the walls outside, stretching and shrinking in an uneven sinister manner. You shuffled closer to the bars of your cell door, shackles clinking with every movement , and peered outside and into the hallway. The cell itself had been crudely built into the basement of what seemed to be a very old house. From where you could see, the bricks that made up the old basement were cracked and crumbling in places. Dust fell from the ceiling outside of your cell, trickling down to the stone floor. The house was unloved, and it groaned for every tiny piece of itself that it lost.

There was no sign of any other prisoner or hostage. As you strained to see as far down the hallway as possible, you never once heard another cough, another shuffle, another sniff. It was silent, bar the steady plink of that goddamn water. With a sigh, you retreated back into the corner of your cave, quietly resigning yourself to the thought that the voice was the first sign of madness, and no one was coming for you.

"So, essentially," Erza began, crossing her arms as she frowned.  Her gaze pierced Gray as she scrutinised his word, looking down at him from where she stood.. "You heard a voice that sounded like Y/N,  telling you that they had been kidnapped and you're going to save them based on that alone?"

Gray leaned back in his hair, classically topless. "That's exactly what I said." He was ironically playing with fire standing up to Erza.

Lucy let out a tired groan from beside them both, slumped over her own arms on the table. She didn't even lift her head as she mumbled under her breath, "the ice is freezing your braincells."

He ignored her. "We haven't actually seen them in five days," he pointed out.

Erza considered his words but tried to find a logical reasoning, "what if they're just sick?" She paused slightly, "they could be resting at home. Perhaps we should send over some cake."

"They went out on a job," he bluntly stated as if that statement alone should end the discussion. He stood up from his chair, meeting Erza's eyes.

"But the new rules state that no one is to go out on a job alone," Erza countered, trying to find a more logical reasoning as to why one member of their guild hadn't been seen in five days.

"When does anybody in this guild follow rules?" Gray retorted, raising his voice ever so slightly.

Lucy meekly chimed in, "he has a point." She raised her hand ever so slightly before letting it fall to the wooden surface with a soft thud. "Natsu destroyed two buildings only a day ago, Erza."

Erza's lips pressed into a thin line, "even so how do we trust this voice? How do we know it's not just a telepathic device implemented by someone trying to get ahold of Fairy Tail members?"

"If that's the case then they can take me hostage, I'm going to find Y/N." Gray stormed towards the heavy entry doors of the guild. "I'll even do it alone." The doors slammed behind him, drowning the rest of the hall in silence for a few seconds before the steady hum of chatter washed back in.

"Should we go after him?" Lucy asked, pulling herself upright to exchange a long and weary glance with Erza.

Erza remained quiet for a few seconds, moving her head back to stare at the doors. "We'll do the sensible thing and go check on their residence first...and prepare a cake just in case." Erza looked around, her crimson hair flowing down her back, "where have we lost Natsu?"

"The home intruder duo invaded my apartment last night, and they're still there."

Erza nodded with a sense of knowing. "Let's get going then."

________________________________________________________________________________

You awoke with a jolt. It wasn't a peaceful slumber by any means, nor was it a willing one. Constantly shivering and enduring the neverending drip, you had just intended to doze off to pass the time, but as the grim world you find yourself in greets your eyes, you see that it was just to delay the inevitable. A guild member stood at the cell door, blocking any of the weak light from entering, and casting a long shadow into your cave cell. No food. He was here for a different reason. A sinister grin plastered to his face. You decide not to say anything, as much as you want to clap back with witty remarks, you keep your lips strictly sealed.

"It's time," are the only words that leave his mouth, low and gutteral.

You could only assume that this was for your purpose of being captured. Cursing that stupid job flyer, and wishing you had never made your way to Mr Flynn, your brain and mouth disconnected. "No."

The dark guild member frowned, eyes growing dark, and his grin fell. They took one step closer towards the door, holding a set of keys in one hand. "You don't get a choice."

"No," you repeated again. Absolutely defenseless with no way to fight back, this was up there with one of the stupidest things you had ever done, but, by some miracle, the absurdity of your defiance had stopped the member from whisking you away as quickly as was intended.

"Are you dumb?" They questioned, shoving the correct key in the cell door. It jingled and clunked as he gripped it between thick fingers.

"Possibly," you responded quickly.

"They are," a new, very familiar, voice added. The addition of the voice caused the member to whip around on high defence, letting go of the key in the process. It hung from the lock procariaously.

The dark guild member wasted no time lunging at Gray with a startling speed, acting on instinct and fuelled by adrenaline at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. Gray's eyes widened at the sudden movement, but he quickly sidestepped the man's trajectory. Boots scraping across the rough surface of the stone floor, the attacker pivoted harshly, directing another fist at Gray. Taking a few steps back and reacting swiftly, Gray summoned a shield of ice, just in time to intercept the blow. As flesh met ice, a sharp crack reverberated throughout the hallway. The guild member pulled away, hissing in pain as frostbite crept across his bleeding knuckles.

With a growl, the member dropped low, aiming another attack at Gray's stomach. Gray went high, bringing his elbow down on the man's back with a practiced precision, sending him sprawling onto the ground.

Groaning and twitching, he attempted to lift himself up, but he wasn't given any such chance. In the blink of an eye, Gray had encased the attacker in a ball of ice, allowing only his head to remain untouched. Impressed with himself, and believing that you should be too, Gray turned to your cell. Stepping up towards the door, he gripped the bars and leaned in, leaving the key in the lock as if he had all the time in the world.

"So...you think I'm hot, huh?" He asked, voice low with amusement, with a dastardly cocky smirk creeping up his stupid face.

Prick.

"Who are you calling a prick?" He exclaimed, stepping back from the cell door, plucking the keys from the door. "I just saved you from a ritual sacrifice."

"I never called you a prick!" You yelled back, frustration evident in your voice.

"Well, I heard you call me a prick," he spun the keys around one finger as he leaned against the corridor wall directly opposite your cell door. The dim light flickered over his obviously shirtless chest.

You sighed, not wanting to get into any argument with him at the current moment, choosing to steer the interaction back into something productive. "have you done anything about the rest of the guild?"

He smirked again at the thought of you doubting him. As if on cue, Erza's unmistakable voice called down from the top of the stairs as a body toppled down into the basement. It landed with a groan.  "That's the last of them! Have you found Y/N?"

"I follow the rules," Gray whispered only loud enough for you to hear, clearly enjoying himself at your expense. He turned his head, calling back up the stairs to Erza, "I have them, they're fine!" He stepped forward again, sliding the key back into the lock. The metal groaned in frustration as he turned the key to open the door. His smile softened ever so slightly as he looked over your unfortunate form, "come on, dumbass."

Boots crunching on the soft ground of the cave, you shuffled over to him as he held a second key upright. The key to your shackles. Presenting your wrists to him, he slid the second key into that lock. The shackles clicked and fell to the ground. Bruises painted your wrists but the second that the shackles were free from your arms, you felt magic seep back into you like a breath of fresh air. You took a deep breath and rubbed your wrists slightly.

Gray hesitated, before tentatively reaching up. Cupping one of your hands in his he gently rubbed the bruises lightly. "Five days, huh?" He murmured, voice low.

"You can imagine how wiping went," you quipped softly, unable to resist injecting sarcasm even into the sweet moment.

His lips quirked up into a grin as he responded ever so casually, "still find you hot."

A frown formed on your face, and you blinked through the confusion, "huh?" But before you could process that sentence, the promise you made earlier crashed into your head. Lifting up a weak fist, you sent it into his shoulder.

Gray groaned, stepping back slightly and massaging his shoulder. "I call you hot and you punch me?"

"I promised it to you earlier!"

He paused, recalling the past telepathic conversation. "Fine. Okay, you did."

The two of you go silent for a brief moment, unable to really process Gray's confession. "So, how did you hear me earlier?" You ask, adding something in to at least attempt to ease the tension.

Gray rubbed the back of his neck slightly, "no idea. We'll ask Gramps when we get back." He moved closer, snaking one arm around your waist for support. Falling into place, you draped one of your arms over his shoulder and together you moved slowly through the dimly lit corridor, boots scuffing on the steps as you made your way towards sunlight.

________________________________________________________________________________

The moment of reckoning had arrived. Barely a step into the guildhall, and you had been summoned by the master.  The stern look in his eye made it painfully obvious that this was not going to be any form of appraisal. Closing the door softly, you slowly slid into the seat opposite the master.

"Hey, Gramps," you offered weakly. It wasn't a long journey back to Magnolia and so your bruises still throbbed with a fresh memory.

The master's gaze was sharp, and it cut through any excuse you had prepared. He didn't waste any time on checking how you were, he could tell from the state of you already, and as long as you were alive and breathing, you were well enough to receive a firm talking to. "Repeat to me the newly implemented rule of this guild."

"That no one, bar the exception of S-Class mages, are to undertake any job alone." You swallowed hard.

"If it's that ingrained into your head then why did you go alone?" His accusatory words hung heavy in the air.

Dropping your gaze to the floor, you hung your head in shame. "I thought I could handle it, I have before." It was a weak answer, given from a weak voice.

"But even if you have handled a hundred jobs before, something can always go wrong." He softened slightly, the pronounced wrinkles in his head fading as he sighed and leaned back in his chair. "You didn't account for the dark guild. I'm just thankful that you at least told someone where you were going." He rubbed his temples. "I don't know what I would do if I lost one of you," he muttered, almost to himself.

You kept your mouth shut, not wanting to let Gramps know that you did not in fact tell anyone where you were going. Drawing your lips into a thin line, you mused over your next choice in words, desperate to change the topic of conversation. "Can I ask you about a type of magic?"

He grumbled incoherently under his breath before muttering, "yes. Go on then."

"A type of telepathy, I think. When Gray-" you paused over your next few words, how to phrase them to stick to the story that he had woven himself that you had at least told someone before leaving. "When Gray came for me, we were able to talk telepathically. We've never done that before."

He raised an eyebrow at your statement. "And this has only happened between you two?" You nodded in response. A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he was quick to hide it. "It's a very rare form of magic, and so rare that people even call it a myth." Jumping down from his perch, he found an old dusty book from his shelf, handing it over to you. "Here. You can read this whilst you recover." You briefly glanced down at the dusty book before looking back up at the master but he was already waving a dismissive hand at you. "Now go. And don't make me regret not scolding you harder."

Holding the book with all the strength you could muster, you hobbled out of his office, legs stiff with every step.  Gray was waiting outside for you, leaning against a wall but he quickly straightened as soon as you emerged and  quickly falling into stride beside you as you made your way to an empty table.

"So how hard did Gramps wail on you?"

You pointed your head down to the bruises on your arms. "Fresh from Gramps," you joked.

"You're joking."

"Of course I am, idiot," you responded, rolling your eyes. You let the hefty book fall onto the table with a thump. "He gave me this though."

He slid across from you into an empty chair. "A book?"

The pages crinkled and groaned in protest as you slowly opened the book, releasing a small cloud of dust. "You're such a genius," you exclaimed in a monochromatic tone.

"Prick."

"Who are you calling a prick?" You exclaimed, frowning at him.

"It's just happening again," he sighed, "you're just hearing my thoughts."

You arched an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. "Your thoughts are mean to me."

"And your thoughts think I'm hot," he teased lightly. "What else do you think about I wonder."

You kicked him from under the table and chose to ignore his question, instead looking down at the title of the front page. Magics of the Soulmate. Your stomach churned at the implication and you fell silent. Without saying another word, you spun the book around and slid it across the table towards Gray.

"Soulmates?" He exclaimed. The surprise fully took him before he dropped his voice into a low hush. "Gramps thinks we're soulmates?" You attempted to open your mouth to answer but no words escaped. Gray ignored you and dropped his head down to read further, "Only in dire situations or moments where thoughts are really felt that they are then projected onto one's soulmate, if that individual has one." He stopped reading and looked up, smirk creeping across his face. You knew what was coming. "So you really think I'm hot, huh?"

You kick him again out of desperation, harder this time. "Shut up!" You whisper harshly, face flushing out of your control. "So what does this mean? You suddenly start loving me?"

"Well you are kinda hot," he shrugged a little. He then grew serious and leaned back in his chair, lazily flicking through the pages of the book. "This doesn't have any answers, it just kinda says what we experienced. It's all just vague."

Growing silent once more, you muse over the implications. There was one thing that you forget during the whole ordeal. Looking up, and into his eyes. They had grown softer, fully living in the seriousness of the situation. You softly speak; "thank you for saving me earlier."

Gray reaches out, thumb brushing over the back of your hand. The ironic warmth of his touch caused the hairs on the back of your neck to rise. His voice was low and steady as he spoke, just for you "Anytime."

Seven years, that was how long it had been since they got the dreaded news, the news that Tenrou Island and all that had gone there were gone. The guild had nearly fallen apart, with the master gone and all the s-class wizards with it jobs became rare, new members stopped coming and many even left unable to survive in the dying guild. But still it was hanging on by the slightest slivers of effort by those who remained. Twilight Ogre came in and took over being the top guild. Yet those who remained never gave up a slight sliver of hope that their missing guild mates would one day return.

The brunette was standing among the old guild hall helping Romeo and Kinana along with a few others who remained while others went looking for something that Blue Pegasus had mentioned. It was a slim hope, one that left a heavy weight on the shoulders of the guild members who stayed behind and waited. Romeo was reading some story, while the few others laundered around the small hall. Kinana was walking a plate of food over for the brunette when the door of the guild burst open and the small group of Twilight Ogre thugs walked in, only having been over the day before to trash the place and demand payment on the interest the guild owed them. It really should not have surprised anyone when the thugs showed back up but still Macao was quick to tell them that they had promised the guild another month to come up with the money.

Bullies the lot of them, that's all they were. And Romeo seemed in an extra sour mood as the young boy stood his ground appearing ready to try and take on the thugs. But the kid was still learning his magic untrained and against an adult stood no chance. And apparently the leader of the group saw no issues with beating up a kid. The man was raising the large spiked club in his hands prepared to bring it down on the boy before anyone could intervene.

Before he could swing it down, the man's body was suddenly being propelled up into the air, a strong kick from behind him sending him flying forwards into the guild hall where he hit the wall.

And in the blink of an eye the rest of the little gang were laid out on the floor, as the dust settled a large group of all too familiar faces was revealed. It was a sight no one would have truly believed even as an all too familiar voice range out.

"Look who's back," It was like hearing the voice of a ghost.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long," Happy called out standing beside the guild's fire dragon slayer.

To say the current guild members were shocked was probably an understatement. While seven years had passed every face that had been gone for that long had remained unchanged, everyone seemed the exact same as the day they parted from the guild to go hold the s-class trials. The same could not be said for those who had not been stuck on Tenrou Island.

Riza stood back staring wide eyed at the group, people who were once older than her still held their youthful looks. Natsu still looked like a teen rather than a man who should have been pushing his mid twenties. The same could be said for most of the younger members of Fairy Tail who had left. It almost felt odd looking at Erza and Mirajane who had once been a good few years older than her now looked younger. It was odd to remember that the last time she saw the group the young woman had only been fifteen was now at twenty two making her older than some of her friends. It was an odd concept to wrap one's head around. And she was not the only one surprised as she could hear her guild mates all questioning one another about what had happened before the story of Acnologia and how the guild had been able to use one of the three Fairy Law spells to keep themselves safe but the spell took seven years to wear off.

As people recalled the story of what happened, some branched out friends quickly got back together, Jet and Troy were all over poor Levy. Friends rejoiced to see each other and were quick to fall to tears before food and drink was quickly being passed around. And before long the guild felt like it had before. Noise filled the quiet hall, and once again life seemed to flow within the building's old walls.

The brunette's honey coloured eyes moved over the large filled room taking in all the warm faces. Though she was surprised to spot a face she did not expect to see among the group. Laxus had stood back a little watching the guild, one he had been kicked out of for his bad behavior all those years ago. It was hard to forget how he had nearly blown up Foire in an attempt to hold a coup d'etat and for Makarov to hand over his guild master title to Laxus. She had been a part of the Battle of Fairy Tale while trying to find Laxus. But the woman had never been the biggest fighter, she had always been too passive or she had been as a kid. But life has gotten hard over the last few years. She still was not exactly as brash as Erza and she did not go looking for a fight like Natsu always did, but she still stood back unable to help that shy past of herself. Even now as everyone mingled and chatted catching up she sat at a table along the edge of the rowdy crowd content to listen rather than engage. Natsu and Romeo were happily chatting off to one side with Panther Lily and Gajeel. It was easy to hear that loud mouth from across the small guild hall.

At some point a few of Lamia Scale members had stopped in to visit, seeing how the gossip about the return of the missing Fairy Tail members seemed to have quickly spread. It was nice to see the old comrades come to pay a visit but it held no interest to the young woman. Having ditched her seat she was standing up originally planning to go say hello to the members of Lamia Scale before a lanky arm draped over her shoulders.

"Well what do we have here? Is this little Riza?" The voice in her ear was one she knew well and hated.

"Bixlow. Can't say I have missed your tormenting," She growled as she looked over to glare at the man who was bending over her a little, his tall frame still towering over her even though she was taller since the last time he saw her.

"Awe don't say that. I was not that bad," The man said, that oddly long tongue of his rolling out of his mouth as he gave her a sheepish grin before his attention turned to his friends. "Freed, Laxus, look who's all grown up now?"

Oh great the last thing she wanted was the man who was now the same age as her to be calling attention to her. But the arm around her shoulders made it hard to just walk away from him. Even as she tried to pull away from him she could feel the arm locking her in place. So instead she was glaring at the man who prevented her from being allowed to run off.

"Bixlow I think you are making her uncomfortable," Freed said softly which earned him a thankful look from the woman. But still that did not let her get away from Bixlow.

"Awe I'm sure she's okay. Our little Riza is all grown up now. I am sure she can handle herself," It was hard to tell if Bixlow was teasing or taunting her.

"I see you're the same pain in my ass as always Bixlow," She growled at the man.

"Awe come on baby," The man said pouting as his puppets floating around him repeated the words baby. She could feel an eye twitch at the man's use of the nickname he always seemed to call woman.

"Don't call me that. Sounds weird from a guy that should be almost thirty," she said, batting his arm off of her shoulder finally. Though a seven year age gap was large it wasn't like it was exactly horrible. Still it felt odd somehow looking at a man who she knew was older than he looked but then again did those seven years truly count? For those on Tenrou Island life had paused. So in a sense she was roughly the same age as Bixlow, Freed, Laxus and Evergreen were. That also now made her older than Natus, Lucy, Grey and Erza. People who used to be older than her.

"To be fair nothing about us has aged. We are still physically the same age as the day we left for Tenrou," Freed was the one to remind her of that.

"And mentally," she mumbled, adding it on to Freed's comment. Though what may have surprised her the most was the fact that Laxus was being rather quiet during the entire ordeal just standing back watching and listening. Golden honey-colored eyes could not help but glance over at him and it felt like that was a great mistake as her eyes met his. He was staring at her with his lips firmly pressed together. He was not down right glaring or scowling but still with his arms pressed over his broad chest it still made him look intimidating. Yet she could not just force her eyes away. It wasn't till she noticed Bixlow laughing at her comment that she had finally forced her eyes away from the lightning dragon slayer.

"It's not that funny Bixlow," she mumbled simply as she watched the man laughing as Freed glared at him softly.

"I think that sharp tongue of yours is entertaining. You used to be such a meek kid. It's hard to believe you're that same kid," the taller man said once his laughter had died down some.

"A lot has changed in seven years. I am no longer a child so stop treating me like one," She scolded the taller man who quickly tossed his hands up into the air as if surrendering as he mumbled a simple half hearted apology.

"Whatever. I'm out of here. Some of us still have work to do tomorrow," Really it was just an excuse for her to run off. She wished to return to her dorm room and hide from the group. She had more than enough of people, and the need to get some fresh air drove her to quickly walk away from the men who had felt the need to torment her. The second she was out the front doors of the guild she could not help but take a deep breath. She always did struggle with crowds and that had not changed.

"I see you're still only a hair away from a panic attack," the voice that filled her ears had her suddenly jump physically into the air and turn on the man who had followed her out of the guild.

"Fuck Laxus," she hissed at the man as she tried to calm her racing heart. She watched the corner of his lips twitch before he simply crossed his arms over his chest and just stood there looking at her.

"What the hell do you want?" She asked him with as hard of a glare as she could master under his hard gaze.

"Chasing after you to make sure you were okay gave me a good reason to get away myself," the blonde said with a shrug of his shoulders as if he did not have any real cares.

Honestly she wasn't even sure why the man was sticking around. He had been kicked from the guild, there was nothing stopping him from leaving if he wanted to.

"Well I am fine so you can leave now," she snapped at him, not entirely sure where that bravery to speak to him like that came from. She watched his lips curl up slowly into a grin as he unfolded his arms and proceeded to take a few steps towards her. Which in turn had her backing away from him trying to maintain the distance between them. She backed away till she hit a tree trunk stopping her from being able to put any more distance between them.

"Well aren't we getting brave," he hummed teasingly as he loomed over her barely a foot of space between them. She was pretty sure she noticed his nostrils flare when he took a deep breath now that there was little space between them. She still had to tilt her head up to meet his eyes even after having the last seven years to grow more. But she had not really gained much more height since she was a young teen.

She may not have grown much in height but she had gained some new curves in the years he had been gone. She no longer had the body of a child. Sure she was not as lucky as say Lucy or Cana. But still her breasts were not tiny, her stomach flat as her hips seemed wider than he remembered. A fair bit of her had changed from what Laxus could remember of the shy and quiet girl. Then again she used to hide behind overly large and baggy clothes. Maybe she always had such a nice body. But still the last few years seemed to do her good.

She felt the bark of the tree digging into her arms as she pressed back against it. She did not like the way those grey eyes of his were roaming over her. Why did it suddenly feel like he could see through her clothes? She could not help as her left arm moved up to try and cover her chest as if she was standing there naked in front of him. That action seemed to entertain him as she watched the corner of his mouth twitch up.

"Yeah well you are not all that scary. Even if you're the lightning dragon slayer. I will not stand back and let you throw your weight around," she said, trying to keep her knees from growing weak under his hard gaze.

"Oh? So are you saying you're not scared of me?" He asked with an arch of a blonde eyebrow at her. If she said no she would be lying. But fear alone was not the only feeling coursing through her making her heart race in her chest. She did not recall the blonde being as attractive as he was now as he stood over her.

"No," she tried to make her voice sound strong but really it had barely been more than a squeak as she looked up at him looking more like a deer stuck in headlights. It was all she could do just to force the single word from her lips as she stood there pinned between the tree and him.

With that she felt his body lean in towards her. She could feel the heat from his body against hers. She tried desperately to glare at the man but the lump in her throat and the shaking of her knees made it hard to stand her ground. The sound of her racing heartbeat was filling her ears, nearly washing out all other noise. She did not even have to guess that he could hear her heart racing just as easily as she could. Dragon slayers all seemed to share heightened senses, she could remember Natsu being able to identify people based on their scent. It would not be hard to imagine that Laxus could hold similar abilities even if he was not a first generation dragon slayer.

"Do you want to try and say that again?" He asked, his voice dropping an octave as he looked down at her. She could not even bring herself to say a word scared about what other noise may be made as she looked up at the blonde man who was leaning into her body. Laxus had always been a good looking guy, hard not to be when he was tall, strong and well she always had a soft spot for blondes. The age gap before had always been enough for her to keep such thoughts mild and subdued. But now that they appeared the same age those thoughts reared its head and were very quick to have her cheeks growing warm.

All she could do was shake her head simply at the man's question. Unable to force herself to try and say anything. Her hands were digging into the bark of the tree as if she could somehow hold herself up with just the strength in her hands. Whether it was the setting sun or something else in his eyes but he almost looked entertained as he loomed over her. It was in a way exciting and terrifying knowing she did not have the power to compete with the man if he so much as wanted to harm her in some way. All she could do was stand as tall as her shaking legs would allow as she looked up at him even as a large hand raised up and she could do nothing more but watch as some of her long brown hair was pushed back behind her ear. The feeling of his skin against her cheek sent a shock through her body.

Was that his doing with his magic or just her body's own sudden reaction to the strange touch. Either way she could not help but jerk away and take a sharp inhale through her teeth as she watched him softly start to chuckle to himself. Whether it was his laughter or the little shock he gave her but she was finally able to snap out of her little shocked panic stricken pose. She moved to smack his hand away from her face only for his hand to grip her wrist with ease.

"Don't you have someone else you can go and torment?" She hissed softly at him as he smirked down at her as she glared up at him.

"Oh but you're so fun to torment," He said, smirking down at her as she glared up at him. She struggled not to shiver under his gaze. Her lips parted but she could not force her brain to work properly and so instead of looking like a fish out of water she quickly darted her tongue out to run it over her bottom lip before sticking the plump lip between her teeth. That quickly drew Laxus' gaze down to watch her chew at her own bottom lip.

The action seemed to almost hypnotize the blonde as she felt his eyes seem to be locked on her lips. Even once she had quickly let go of her lip his eyes still seemed enticed not to leave her lips. She felt like a bunny staring up at the mouth of a hungry dragon, his gaze seemed almost hungry. She contemplated running, her body struggling between the basic survival instincts on if she should run or fight, but she was not stupid enough to fight. No, she was stuck between being frozen in place and wanting to flee. Her body was tense, she was a bunny tense and ready to run for it. She felt wound up tighter than a spring and yet her body refused to move.

Then again it looked like it may be a good thing her body would not move as Laxus looked ready to strike if she was to move at all. Still she felt her left hand twitch her fingers digging harder into the bark of the tree behind her and that seemed to be more than enough to snap the blonde from his own stupor. He moved quickly almost like a striking snake. A large hand entangled among the hair at the nape of her neck as another grabbed a hip. She was pinned between the large body and the tree. His lips crashed against hers as he swallowed the squeak of surprise by the sudden action from her. Her hands shot out from their grip at the tree to grab at the shirt he was wearing, unsure if she wanted to try and push him away from her or pull him in closer towards her. Her hands held at his shirt as if she may crash to the ground if she were to let go.

Her brain seemed to just short circuit as she found herself returning the kiss. She knew better or should have. Kissing him was a bad idea, she should have pushed him away. But instead she found herself pulling him towards her as she melted into his wide chest. His tongue ran across her bottom lip and she did not even hesitate to let him in as her lips parted and his tongue wasted no time in exploring her mouth.

It felt far too fast that her body was screaming for more air than she was taking in thanks to her brain not working and her completely forgetting that she could have been breathing in through her nose. She gasped for air as their lips parted ever so slightly though that did not stop the blonde man from taking her bottom lip between his teeth tugging at her lip slightly before letting go.

She should have taken that moment to push him back, to tell him to stop, to do something other than allow this to continue. But she did not want to stop, she did not even care if they were simply just outside the guild hall where anyone could see them. She did not care one bit. No instead she was reaching up stretching up onto the tips of her toes to make herself tall enough so she could be the one to start the kiss this time.

This drew a low growl from deep within Laxus' chest. It was an almost animalistic sound and damn did it do things to her. Instantly her body reacted as her thighs clenched together as if that would suddenly help the near ache of her body. She had never felt so needy all of a sudden. She was ready to start stripping them both down when suddenly it was Laxus that pulled away, breaking the kiss this time. And she did not even try to stop or hide her whine and protest.

"So impatient. But not here," he said, taking a step back from her, putting a small bit of space between them.

"You're still in the dorms right?" He asked, waiting for her to nod before he suddenly scooped her up as if she weighed nothing and tossed her over his shoulders like some cave man taking his conquest back to his cave.

"Laxus," she cried out in surprise at the sudden movement that she had not been prepared for as she laid over his wide shoulder as he wasted no time in walking around the guild hall to head towards the dorm building where members could choose to live. His wide and fast stride made it quick for him to reach the dorms as she just let herself hang off of his shoulder with a slight pout and a little grumbling to himself about being handled like a bag of potatoes.

Which in term had earned her a sudden hand against her ass. The sudden assault on one of her clothed ass cheeks was a surprise. She could not help the strangled yelp that escaped her as she jerked on his shoulder.

"Laxus!" She hissed at him which just earned her a low chuckle from the man.

"Oh don't get your panties in a twist. You like it just admit it princess," he said as he walked through the dorm building before reaching the room number she had told him to head to. Though he didn't really need her to tell him the number if he had just followed his nose. It was easy to tell which room was giving off her scent of fresh air after a spring shower.

He did not even hesitate to just open the door and stroll on into the small single room barely even pausing in his step to kick his shoes off as his long legs carried him across the room before he was rather literally throwing her onto her bed. She had cried out in protest at the rough treatment but before she could say anything about his treatment she found his large body quickly crawling up her bed and across her.

"Laxus," she had cried out when tossed onto the bed as she started her protest. She was quickly pinned between the large blonde and her bed as her protest died quickly in her throat. His pupils were blown wide, nearly taking over the grey of his eyes. He looked almost more like a predator looming over his prey as he crawled across her pinning her to the bed. She watched the corner of his lips curling up as he looked down at her watching as she was stuck wordless as she looked up at him with her big wide eyes before his lips were on hers.

The kiss was a bit sloppy this time as there were a bit too many teeth and tongue but it seemed never cared enough to slow down and steady out the kiss more. Hands were now roaming one another. She could feel his large hands on her hips but they did not stay there long. Her own hands had started on his shoulders and had run down his chest to find the edge of his shirt and she was quick to start tugging the shirt up his chest. Not wasting any time in attempting to get the shirt off of him. Once his shirt was hitting her bedroom floor his own hands were now pulling at her own t-shirt as she lifted her hands up and let him pull the shirt up and over her head.

His lips found the edge of her jaw before leaving light kisses over her skin as he started to kiss along her neck. Feeling his lips against her neck had her moaning softly as her head rolled back as if to give him more skin to kiss. She could feel his teeth nibble playfully at the skin from time to time which only pulled louder moans from her. His fingers effortlessly unclipped her bra with what she could only assume was a practiced ease. But she did not think about that as she felt the material on her chest falling away from her to join their shirts on the floor.

Laxus had let go of her neck to lean back just far enough to take in the sight of her upper half exposed. Laxus had not recalled the woman beneath him being so well endowed when she was younger. But seven years had given her lots of time to mature and mature she had. Sure she may not have been as shapely as Lucy or Mirajane but the woman's body still had a lovely shape to it. His hands were already working to remove the jeans she had been wearing wanting to feel her soft thighs under his hands.

In a matter of seconds she was down to just her basic black panties. She watched his eyes rack over her body taking in the sight as her chest heaved trying to take the moment to catch her breath as if she had just run through Fiore. She had watched his eyes linger for a moment on her chest before they quickly started to take in the rest of her. The look in his eyes hungry as he seemed to almost be eating up the sight of her beneath him.

Feeling oddly brave, her right hand reached out and she smirked softly as she lightly slipped her hand between them to run her hand along the tent in his pants. She watched his eyes dart up to look into hers as she ran her hand along his hardened cock. She tried to keep the surprise hidden as she realized he felt bigger than she expected. Though it seemed she had not kept her surprise to herself as well as she thought as she heard him chuckle.

"Surprised are you?" He had nearly purred at her which just had her melting into her bed. A blush sprinkled her cheeks as she looked away not meeting his gaze even though her hand had not stopped palming him through his pants.

"Not at all," she said, simply struggling to not squeak out the words. But that only seemed to please him more. She watched him lean in towards her, his lips brushing her ear before he spoke again.

"You're a horrible liar," he said, giving his hips a buck into her hand as his teeth nipped at her ear gently.

She could not even help the little whimper that escaped her lips. She didn't even know what to say to that. It was true for one, and for two she did not want to argue with him about it. Though she was not going to admit it either. Her fingers moved as she pulled her palm off of him and started to work at undoing his pants, wanting the blonde man as naked as she was. Though surely the view could not get much better than that wide, broad chest of his bare for her to admire. Gods she wanted to run her tongue along every muscle and ridge. But maybe another time. She was growing too impatient as she started to push his pants down.

Though she was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with the sight of the man going commando. Seemed someone did not enjoy wearing boxers or anything. Watching him push his pants off of the bed like every other article of clothing it was now her turn to hungrily take in the view before her. And she could not even help it as her eyes lingered and paused on the sight of his cock sitting hard and tall. Well she never would have imagined that Laxus was hung like a horse. It was a very pleasant surprise.

But the moment did not last long as Laxus leaned down to engulf her body with his as his lips latched onto her left nipple. This brought a number of moans from her lips as her back arched off of the bed in pleasure as her fingers started to slip through his quickly growing wild blonde hair. His lips attacked one nipple, while his fingers of one hand started to tease the other. His spare hand had wasted no time in traveling down her stomach to slip under her pants.

She squirmed and wiggled her hips as she felt a rough finger run along her damp folds. He was teasing her and it had an audible whine escape her as her hips tried to move against the finger to get it where she wanted it. But all that earned her was a deep chuckle from the man above her.

"So impatient," was the hum that accompanied the chuckle from the blonde. Which just had her whine again as he teased her with both his body and words.

"Ass," She growled at him but still he only looked entertained as he smirked down at her as he slipped a finger into her body. The action had her back arch off of the bed as her head rolled back into the bed and she let out a loud moan. That was what she had wanted, though still his finger was not nearly as good as what she knew she could have. But voicing her desire at that exact moment was not possible as her mind seemed to just focus on the feeling of his finger slipping in and out of her. Her hips moved in time with his fingers as her hands gripped at the bedsheets that were beneath her. But just as the knot in her stomach started to form her pleasure was ripped from her as the finger pulled out of her. She did not even try to stop the audible whine that escaped her.

She felt her panties being nearly ripped off of her. She could hear the material stretching and protesting the rough treatment. But this time she did not complain. She had felt about ready to rip them off herself. She quickly moved her legs once the panties were off her angles as she wrapped her legs around Laxus' waist pulling their bodies closer together. Her hands had let go of the bed sheets she had not even noticed she had grabbed to grab a large bicep in her left hand and grip at the back of his neck with her right as she dragged him down to meet her as she smashed her lips against him. Laxus let her do as she pleased, allowing him to be pulled down as he just as happy met her eager and impatient kiss. Seemed he was not the only one feeling a little pent up and impatient.

His hands had moved to grab at the flesh of her hips as he teasingly shifted to run the length of his cock against her damp folds as he swallowed the mixture of whines and moans that came from the woman at his teasing action. She was already whining into the kiss almost inaudible words though he was pretty sure she was now begging him for more. Although he wanted to drag out this fun a little longer she was not the only one growing desperate as he felt her hips try to struggle against his grip so they could move.

Shifting his own hips ever so slightly was all it took to allow himself to slip past her folds as he slowly entered her. Her head ripped away from the sloppy kiss so that she could throw her head back and let out a completely sinful sounding cry of pleasure. Her nails digging into his skin as she felt Laxus slowly working his hips till finally his hips met hers as he was fully buried within her. Pausing for a second they both took the moment to try and catch their breaths. By the time Riza moved to look up at the blonde he was already moving again. His hips were fast to find their pace and rhythm as his hands held her hips exactly where he wanted them. She could do nothing but moan happily as her back arched off the bed and she clung to him.

The ball of her feet digging into the back of his wide upper thighs as if she could somehow force him closer to her with the action. They both knew he was by far much stronger than she was but still that did not stop her body from moving on its own as it clung to him. She tried to move her hips in time with his but his large hands seemed reluctant to allow her to move her own body. He had complete control over her body that laid beneath him. And a part of her loved it as she let him not even going to complain that she could not move her hips on her own.

In that moment nothing mattered any more other than the complete pleasure she felt with each thrust. She felt so pleasantly full and stretched as his cock worked along her tight walls. She could hear him hiss any time she tightened around him. His lips had started trailing kisses along her neck but she almost did not notice them. Not till the sudden feeling of his teeth digging into the flesh of one breast did she yelp softly more so out of surprise than pain. She tried to glare at him but she was pretty sure her face was too busy to show off the pleasure she felt rather than the mild annoyance.

The teeth did not last long before his lips were wrapped around a perky nipple instead. His tongue flicked at the little bud in his mouth and she could do nothing but cry out as the sensation. It was all so much. She could quickly feel that growing sensation, a knot starting to form in her stomach. Her body was quickly growing tense beneath him and Laxus did not need to be told why. His own pace was becoming quicker, chasing his own pleasure as she did hers.

She could not last much longer as she could not contain the loud moans, she was almost happy everyone was out in the guild hall and could not hear the noises that were coming from her at that moment. She could feel the vibration against her skin as Laxus groaned and moaned against her skin as he trailed kisses from one breast to the other trying to show them both some love before his brain no longer found the ability to be able to focus on anything but his own pleasure.

It felt like she had suddenly fallen off a cliff. Her body shook softly, her eyes seemed to roll into the back of her head. Her body felt weightless and numb as her pleasure pulsed through her as she cried out. Laxus let go of the skin of her breast he had been softly sucking on to lean back and watch Riza's reaction as her climax washed over her. His pace had never slowed, if anything it became more erratic as Laxus was now free to chase his own finish. A few more thrusts was all the blonde needed before his own body tenses and stilled and he let out a deep low moan of his before he nearly collapsed on top of her. His right arm moved to rest beside Riza as the two bodies tried to catch their breath before Laxus slowly rolled off of her to take up the rest of her small bed. Which in turn earned him a slap to the chest with the back of her hand.

"Move over you big lug you're pushing me off of the bed," She growled at him which just earned her a chuckle from the man as he told her to just deal with it.

Make Me (NaLu One Shot)

Summary: Fed up with his antics, Lucy plans to get Natsu to apologize. One way or another.

Rating: T

Word Count: 1057

A/N: This was originally meant to be posted on NaLu day but then my power with out. :) yay for me!

----------------------------------------------------------

Lucy took a deep breath as she closed her apartment door behind her. As much as she loved being a guild wizard, sometimes the work could get exhausting. She could really go for a warm, soothing bath and a day off.

As she made a beeline for her dresser so she could get her coziest pajamas ready, the sound of her bedside window opening almost went unnoticed.

Almost, had it not been for the noise of surprise she heard from the pink-haired intruder sliding in.

Lucy's eyes locked with Natsu's, and the blonde knew that scolding him would be futile at this point.

"Sure, Natsu, come on in. Thanks for asking politely and using the front door," She chirped sarcastically as she continued searching through her dresser, "You always impress me with your manners."

Natsu stretched nonchalantly as he settled on her bed, "Didn't know you were here already."

"What, so you planned to just break in while I was away?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

Lucy puffed out her cheeks and glared at him, to which a grin spread its way across his face. He couldn't help but to mess with her when she gave him cute reactions like that.

"You should really start locking your window," Kicking off his sandals, Natsu reclined on the bed and folded his arms behind his head, "'Might help."

"If I did that, you'd probably just end up breaking it open anyways," Lucy smiled to herself when she finally found the silk pajama set she'd been looking for, and turned to give him a pointed look, "Where's Happy? You normally commit your crimes with him with you."

"I think the job really wore him out. I didn't wanna wake him, but I'll be back at my place before he's up."

With an understanding hum, Lucy sat on the side of the bed and nodded, "Yeah, I'm tired too. I could imagine the toll it took on the little guy," She started to yawn, but choked halfway through when a thought struck her, "Wait, so you came to be alone with me..?"

Natsu's eyes widened, and he looked away. The color in his cheeks was a good indication of whatever was on his mind.

"You wanted to be alone? Together?" Lucy reiterated, shifting to face him and feigning innocence in the way her fingers grazed the side of his hip.

It looked like he had no intention of saying anything, but when Natsu's eyes flitted back to hers for a split second, he caved, "Obviously…"

Lucy could help the small laugh that escaped her. It was always so fascinating when he got like this, suddenly so coy. She never would have thought he could be so cute, and she definitely planned to milk this.

"Maybe I can forgive you for climbing through my window, then," Her hand came up to rest on his cheek, rendering him unable to look away. She glided her thumb along his lower lip, causing him to lean closer, his tongue poking out to swipe along where their skin met. The way her hand moved to grasp his jaw had him letting out a surprised whine. "Maybe. If you say you're sorry."

It took a second for Natsu to remember what she'd been talking about, and he glared at her, "What?"

"Apologize for breaking in unannounced! Then I will forgive you," Lucy smiled triumphantly as his frown depended, slowly caressing his jaw until he grabbed her by the wrist.

"No."

"No? Are you sure?" Ignoring his grip on her, Lucy squeezed his cheeks in her hand, giving him the cutest looking pout, "You're not gonna like it when I don't forgive you."

"Lushi," With his face smushed, Natsu's words came out slurred, "Lemme go."

"Apologize."

Her grasp tightened, but Natsu held his ground, "Make me."

Admittedly, Lucy was impressed by his ability to remain competitive in a position like this. It was to be expected, though.

She shifted so that she hovered over him, using her hold on his face to shove him down against her pillow. He had that surprised look on his face again, yet he made no move to overpower her. Perhaps this was what he wanted.

Planting her knee between his thighs and ducking her head so their noses were only centimeters apart, Lucy tried not to let the blush on her own face lower her resolve. "Last chance. Apologize."

Natsu's eyes flashed with something serious, like he wanted to challenge her. But with one look down at her lips, his eyebrows furrowed and he tried to turn his head away. "Okay, okay. Sorry."

Surprised that she actually got him to do as she said, Lucy slackened immediately and abruptly sat back in his lap, earning a strained hiss as she realized what she sat on a bit too late.

He looked positively annoyed, but was blushing brilliantly, and Lucy couldn't stop herself from leaning down and giving him a peck on his nose. "See? That wasn't so hard. I forgive you. This time," She winked, and squeaked in surprise when he grabbed her by the hips to lift her slightly off of him.

She bit her lip at the way his forehead creased as he slowly exhaled, and now it was her turn to avoid eye contact.

"I, um, was planning to take a bath…" She glanced at him for a second before turning to look at the wall, "Do you wanna… join me?"

"Yes," Suddenly, Natsu sat up, almost making her fall had it not been for his hold on her hips. He let go of her for long enough to slip his scarf off and hastily undo the first few buttons of his coat, earning a breathless laugh from the woman on top of him.

Lucy helped him with his buttons, and as she reached the last few, he grabbed onto one of her hands to get her to look at him.

Their eyes met in a silent stare-off, Natsu's eyes softening as they filled with desire. He raised an eyebrow, being clear enough about what he wanted for Lucy to be able to catch on.

With a humored roll of her eyes, she closed the distance between them to plant a kiss on his lips, his other hand at the base of her neck stopping her from pulling away too soon.

[e1ectricwords]

Hello Caitlin, I've heard that you take requests. Can I request a Fairy Tail fanfic, a "graylu" one? With "picnic date" or "valentine's day" as a prompt. Thank you.

Forgive me please this is actually my first time writing for Graylu, or any pairing that isn't an x reader omg.

Graylu Valentine's Day Word Count: 2517

Late-January. 

Late-January and he still hadn’t asked her. Lucy tried not to dwell on it but it wasn’t as if she had kept her desire to be asked to herself. She dropped more hints than she could count to Gray. Multiple comments about how beautifully the stores had arranged Valentines-Day displays, and reminiscing on all of the adorable displays of affection she had seen between other couples in the past. Gray always listened, but he was oblivious despite being intelligent. Late-January and he had made no plans, nor asked her if she wanted to do anything. 

Lucy knew she held unrealistic high-expectations but these had dropped dramatically since joining the guild. The unpredictability of the guild clashed horrendously with any expectations she held but this felt different and not something that she could just brush aside. She had always dreamed that the first Valentine’s Day with Gray would be special. Her first decent boyfriend who stayed long enough to make it to Valentine’s Day. She just wanted something memorable, even if it wasn’t extravagant. Last year she remembered watching Alzack surprise Bisca with a bouquet of flowers strangely situated in the barrel of a gun. Even that was romantic in its own way.

Her hope lingered, nagging and persistent. The wooden floorboards greeted her with a chill as she pulled herself out of bed. The sun was still rising and the orange beams filtered through her curtains. As Lucy walked across her apartment towards the bathroom, she stopped to give Plue a little pat. He danced a little as usual, helping brighten Lucy’s mood even for a split second. She laughed a little and pulled herself away from the little spirit, stepping into the bathroom. 

After a quick shower, Lucy made her way towards the front door, going to answer the knock. It was like clockwork. She didn’t even stop to greet him, just opened the door and walked back into her apartment, using a towel around her neck to dry the ends of her hair. 

“Is that how you answer the door now?” Gray questioned, stepping inside, shutting the door behind him. His question could be taken in the wrong way; accusatory rather than sarcastic. 

Lucy whipped back around to face him. She was just wearing a towel wrapped around herself, and a towel hung around her shoulders to dry her still damp hair. Toothbrush in her mouth, caught in the middle of getting dressed for the day. Lucy removed the toothbrush from her mouth, “you like it.”

Gray shrugged and moved past her to lounge on her sofa, completely laid back. “Yeah. You’re right.” Lucy rolled her eyes and continued to brush her teeth, but a small smirk tugged at her lips. 

Gray let his eyes follow her as she wandered around her apartment, collecting clothes and getting ready. This was their usual morning routine. Gray would turn up in the morning, wait for Lucy to get dressed, mention how beautiful she is (as there was no way he was ever going to do that in public), and walk to the guild-hall together. Of course they would also stop for breakfast along the way. It meant they had to work more to fund their morning lifestyle, but either one of them would state it was worth it. 

A little while later they both took a leisurely stroll through the streets of Magnolia, both holding a waffle in one hand. They had both tried multiple different flavours from their go-to place but time after time they would return to their favourite flavours. For Lucy it was a white chocolate and strawberry combination, and Gray preferred the tangier taste of a black forest waffle dupe. Despite the colder temperatures of the month, Gray still wandered around shirtless, leading to the other pedestrians giving him strange looks as they passed in coats and scarves. The sun was shining but it offered no warmth. Lucy’s breath twirled in front of her before dissipating into the air. They walked close together, not holding hands. Lucy would often change her trajectory a slight amount to bump into Gray as they walked, making him offer light smiles until he got the hint and intertwined his hand with her’s. 

Lucy stopped the momentum, pointing to a store display with the hand that held her waffle. “Hey, isn’t that so cute?” Her eyes twinkled as she gazed at the little fluffy bear in the store window; a generic brown bear holding a heart. 

Gray raised an eyebrow, stepping back a slight bit to gauge her reaction a little bit more. Not once did he let go of her hand. “Are you sure?”

She lost the twinkle in her eye but still smiled. “Yeah! It looks super soft.” She cocked her head to one side and took a bite of her waffle. A slight bit of white chocolate sauce dripped onto the exposed part of her chest, but she didn’t realise. “Do you not think so?”

He let out a half-hearted laugh. “It’s tacky, Luce. What’s so special about it?” He stepped closer and wiped the sauce from her skin, “you’re so clumsy sometimes.” He wiped his hand on his black jeans and took Lucy’s hand back in his. He gave it a little tug to start walking again.

“I don’t know why it’s special…” Lucy mused. Her voice was soft. “It’s just cute.” 

The rest of the walk to the guild hall was in relative silence with small stunted conversations about useless things. Lucy fell quiet within her own head. She responded on autopilot, answering automatically but she couldn’t find meaning in the words. Her mind was elsewhere, drifting through thoughts that she just couldn’t shake. There was a deep pit of almost disappointment in her stomach even if she tried to ignore it. The waffle didn’t taste as sweet as before but she still finished it, moreso out of habit. As they entered the guild hall, they parted with a brief kiss. It was the only level of public affection that Gray was comfortable with and Lucy wanted to make sure she never pushed him too far out of his comfort zone. Whilst Lucy went to check out some jobs pinned to the notice board, Gray slid into a table with the last of his waffle.

“You gonna finish that?” Natsu asked, pointing at the half-eaten waffle, eyes locked on the copious berries spilling over each other. 

Gray rolled his eyes, not even bothering to argue or protest. He tossed it over. “Hello to you too. Vulture.” 

“What’s wrong with Lucy this morning?” Erza asked. She parked her fork into her cake, pulling out the strawberry. Her eyes narrowed over towards Lucy, who was still gazing at the request board. Her eyes scanned over the jobs but she wasn’t truly reading anything. “She doesn’t look like herself.”

“I haven’t got a clue,” Gray muttered, leaning back in his seat. “She just went quiet on me after talking about that toy.” He ran a hand through his hair. Lucy was his first proper girlfriend, and admittedly he had no clue what he was doing. Half the time he felt uncomfortable in public, and it was hard to even let himself feel vulnerable around her. He had only just learnt not to freak out when holding her hand in public. 

There was a loud laugh from behind Gray. Cana leaned over the seat, mug in hand, and inserted herself into the conversation. How was it no one in the guild had any healthy eating or drinking habits this early in the morning? “What kinda toy?” Cana laughed, tone dripping with innuendo. Her cheeks painted a dusty pink. Gray was unsure if she had been up all night drinking or had only just started, and in this particular moment he didn’t exactly care.

He pushed her away by her forehead, forcing her back over to her table. “Not that kind of toy, disgusting.” 

Undeterred, Cana propped herself back up, once again leaning over the edge of the seats. The liquid in her mug threatened to spill over onto the edge of Gray’s seat. Happy perched between Natsu and Erza. All three of them were too clueless to pick up on the subtext to Cana’s comment, but still followed the conversation; Gray was at least thankful for that. “Is it some sort of cat toy?” Happy asked, perking up a little. “Is she getting me one?”

“No, she’s not getting you a cat toy,” Gray responded, exasperated. Most of the time he felt surrounded by idiots. “She just liked the look of some dumb Valentine’s teddy.”

“Did you get it for her?” Natsu chirped up. The waffle had disappeared down his gullet already. 

“It’s cheap and tacky, why would it be special?” Gray asked, his frustration grew with each passing second. 

Cana clapped him on the shoulder, shaking her head in mock disappointment. “It’s all she talks about, dude. Pay a little more attention.” She leaned in low close to his ear, “or else I might just have to steal your girl.”

Once again Gray pushed Cana away by the forehead, making her stay at her own table. She laughed about it to herself, but didn’t bother them again, finally deciding her interference was complete. 

“Cana might be right,” Erza agreed, causing Gray to groan. “Lucy wears heart shaped hair pins. Even you can figure out that she might want a special day.” 

Gray felt as if he was being lectured by everybody, all the voices blending into an irritating hum. He felt his frustration rise, he knew his girlfriend better than anyone, didn’t he? Without any word wasted, he quickly left the guild hall, feeling the need to calm down on his own.

He took a walk through the streets, passing all of their favourite spots on their morning walks. His eyes scanned the stores and all of their seasonal displays. Depictions of perfect couples with giant flower bouquets and boxes of heart-shaped chocolates. He came to a halt as the realisation dawned on him. He had never paid much attention to the displays around him, too busy being absorbed by her presence and losing himself enjoying her touch and energy, and yet Lucy had been pointing them out this entire time. She enjoyed the trinkets, and tacky things. She talked at length about her favourite flowers, her desires for dates, her dreams. And Gray, in all of his self-proclaimed wisdom, had been too dense to notice any of it. 

Just like clockwork, Lucy was summoned to her door by a knock. It was Valentine’s day. He still hadn’t asked her to be his Valentine, and she was sure that he had no clue that the day even existed. To him, this would be any other ordinary day and Lucy had resigned herself to that belief, it was much better than the belief that he just didn’t care. She tried to hide her underlying sadness, and opened the door. 

“Not even dressed yet?” Gray asked. He feigned annoyance at her, but she had already turned to walk back inside of her apartment.

She brushed him off, “woke up late.” Lucy shrugged off the shirt that she slept in - it was one of Gray’s and admittedly she had stolen it when he once stripped down in the guild hall. Of course, this was after they had started dating. If he wasn’t going to wear it then she would at least put it to good use. Lucy grabbed some clothes from a chair to begin changing. 

“Are you not even going to look at me today?” Gray asked, now no longer needing to feign annoyance. It was mostly fuelled by frustration at himself; he had caused this. He was also trying to fix this. “Come on, Luce.”

Lucy turned, finally looking over at him. The frown that was on her face melted, now replaced with a look of curiosity. “What’s behind your back?”

A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. “You don’t know how embarrassing it was for me to walk over with these.” He pulled his arm from behind his back, revealing a small bouquet of flowers. 

She remained stunned for a moment. It wasn’t a generic bouquet of red roses. A base of white baby’s breath and filled with pink roses and pale blue hydrangeas. Her expressions softened before she frowned again. “If it was embarrassing for you then you didn’t have to do it, y’know.” 

This wasn’t going the way that Gray had planned. He cursed but stepped closer to her. “Yeah it’s embarrassing but I still did it. I still did it because I love you. How could I not love you?” 

“You…love me?” Her words caught in her throat as her eyes widened and she stared at him. It was the first time she had heard it from him. Scrap that, it was the first time she had heard it from anyone. 

Gray placed the flowers on a small table beside the door. He cupped her face between his hands and leaned in close. His touch was firm but gentle, and his voice was low and soft. “Of course I love you.” He calmed himself by placing a kiss on her forehead. Lucy let her eyes flutter close and lean into the intimate moment. “Now would you please get dressed, we have more to do.”

“More?”

The walk didn’t take long but Gray kept painfully quiet about where he was taking her. Lucy had always been the more talkative one of the two, but he was giving her nothing and it was driving her absolutely insane. He forced her to walk up a hill, of which she complained about the entire way, and instead of quipping back with some quick and witty one-liner that would make her roll her eyes, he remained silent until they reached the very top. 

He turned to her, just slightly obscuring her view. “It’s not perfect,” he started. “I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. But it’s important to you, so it’s important to me.” He stepped to the side, revealing a small laid out picnic behind him. Anchoring the classic checkered blanket to the ground was a woven wicker basket. Besides it sat the bear, clutching onto a heart shaped box. A tree loomed overhead, and at its base were some stacked pillows. “Please say something.” 

“It is perfect,” Lucy exhaled. She dropped to her knees beside the basket and Gray slowly joined her.

“Are you sure?”

She beamed at him. There was no need to hide any sadness if none existed within her. Lucy nodded, reaching into the picnic basket. She pulled out a squished sandwich and let out a little laugh of amusement but quickly tucked in. “I’m very sure it’s perfect,” she said after swallowing. “So you do listen to me.”

“Sometimes.”

Lucy pushed at his arm playfully but planted a kiss on his cheek when he reeled back in. She repositioned herself to sit on her side and leaned in close. “I hope you know I love you too, right?”

i don't only reblog edible writing, i do some writing tooooo. i'm trying write some more but writers block is so seasonal😩

not to mention, school kicking my ass. i debate on dropping out every day but i need this psych degree🫠

ima try to write atleast a drabble or oneshot once a month. Probably either an angsty/emotional one or a silly goofy one.

no inbetween because that's my whole character.

i might write a story but anything i write never has a happy ending. Silly goofy or not. So, i'll just ease everyone into my writing♡

I can write for a bunch of fandoms. JJK, HQ, Fairytail, Demon Slayer, Promised Neverland, etc. My brain isn't braining.

I don't really write romantic 'x reader' love for minors because I usually imagined myself as the reader so i can fully get into it. And honestly, imagining myself inlove with a 12-18 year old is reeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy weird for me.

but i'll write cutesy love between two minors or like familial (is that how u spell it?) 'x reader' love ♡

n e ways, thank you for attending my tedtalk.

Summary:

"Someone once asked me what it felt like to love you. They might as well have asked me to describe the taste of water." -JL

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Natsu sat mesmerized at the girl resting underneath his shoulder. Lucy’s golden hair splayed across his arm and tentatively, with his free hand, reached over and grabbed a piece of it. He gently rubbed his fingers against the soft strands and let out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding. 

Twirling it around his fingers he softly muttered, “It should be impossible to love someone this much.”

Lucy nuzzled deeper into his neck and let out a small chuckle. Natsu, unaware that she was awake, abruptly stiffened, blushed, and let go of the strand of hair he was holding.

“I- uh- sorry, did I wake you?”

Lucy laughed and started rubbing her hand up and down Natsu’s chest, in her feeble attempt to soothe him. “Relax, I was only resting my eyes. I’ve been awake this whole time.”

“Oh,” he said awkwardly, the blush still present on his face.

She tilted her head up to look at the dragon slayer and softly smiled when she watched his face get redder under her stare. “Natsu,” she paused to see if he would look down at her and continued when his eyes still wouldn’t meet her own, “What are you so embarrassed about?”

He huffed, still not looking her way, “Nothing. I just thought you were asleep.”

“You didn’t want me to hear what you said. You’re embarrassed,” she teased.

Natsu finally looked down with a pout. “Am not,” he said defiantly.

He looked away again and muttered under his breath, “It’s just that I wouldn’t have said that if I knew you were awake. Don’t want to freak you out or anything.”

Lucy leaned up and turned to face him. Her hands came up to turn his face towards her. She didn’t remove her hands from his cheeks once he was looking down at her, instead opting to rub her thumbs gently back and forth against his jaw.

“Oh, sweet boy,” she cooed, “you could never scare me away. Especially, never by talking about how much you love me.”

She softly smiled, still gazing deeply into his eyes. “If it brings you any comfort, I think it should be impossible to love you as much as I do too.”

He grinned and gently tilted his face down to lay a soft kiss upon the palm caressing his jaw. “I take it back,” placing one of his hands on top of the one she kept on his right cheek and the other on top of her knee, “It must be possible, because I feel it for you, an impossible love.”

She giggled, “That doesn’t really make sense, Natsu.”

He groaned, “Luce come on, I’m tryna be romantic and shit, could you just work with me.”

Lucy belched out a full laugh while he smiled down at her. “Okay, okay,” she spoke as she settled down. She looked back up at him, staring so deeply into his eyes like she could see his soul, and she smiled so bright, he swore he thought that the night had already faded into the day.

“I love you too, impossibly.”

He grinned, “Impossibly possible, I hope.”

Rolling her eyes, she giggled and repeated, “Impossibly possible.”

He paused. Eyebrows scrunching while she tilted her head in confusion.

“I’m not going to lie this impossible, possible, whatever stuff is kinda messing with my head now. Low-key, I don’t know what I’m saying anymore.”

“Natsu!” She removed her hands from his face and glared up at him. “Now, you just ruined the moment!”

He cackled and grabbed her hands, placing a kiss on the back of each hand before pulling them to his chest, right next to his heart. 

“I’m sorry pretty girl, it doesn’t matter though. I love you, simple enough.”

Her glare softened as her cheeks dusted in pink. “I love you too.”

Her eyes flickered with a mischievous glint, and before Natsu could point it out, she pounced on him, straddling his hips and pushing him back into the couch and began to pepper kisses all over his face. 

“Luce,” he chuckled, “what is this for?”

“Just because,” she said in between her kisses.

Once she was satisfied and she covered the entirety of his face with splotches of sparkly pink lipgloss, she placed one last kiss to his lips before leaning her forehead against his.

“What I feel for you transcends time and space. The word ‘love’ is not enough to encapsulate what I feel for you.”

Natsu tilted his head back against the couch and let out a groan. “Jeez, this is what I was trying to say. God, why are you so much better with words than I am.”

She laughed, “It’s okay angel. I can feel it.”

He smiled, bringing his head back up to look back at her. He lifted one hand to tuck a fallen strand of hair behind her ear before leaning up further to gently press his lips to her temple. He  let his lips rest there for a moment before removing them in favor of smiling and looking into her eyes once more.

“I can feel it too.”

Oversaturated with heroes and oversaturated with characters

There were several instances in the MHA verse where the oversaturated cast of characters could have been cut off. Some have no plot relevance and they're just a waste of space, ink, time, voice acting, manga panels and everything in general. Mineta should be the first to die. he has no agency in the story whatsoever besides being a pervert. more than half of the female characters of the show should have just been killed either onscreen or off screen. Seriously, i wouldnt have even batted my eyes. it would've been good for the show actually. they simply exist for fap bait contents. i don't like mina, but her powers are so underutilized. if only she had been giving an inkling of a thought, she would've been a good match against dabi coz her quirk can withstand flames. i'm not saying she oneshots dabi, but atleast she could've been a prima support while stronger characters could have gone up against dabi. shigaraki dacayed an entire city but it killed only one hero that most people dont even know of, thereby making him look incompetent. Gran torino was the prime candidate for unsubscribing from life but for some reason, he is alive and kicking well. What type of hospital exist in MHA, where it has beef with mortality and life threatening injuries? at this point, i have more respect for the author of fairytail and how he treated deaths in Fairyfail, i mean Fairytail. I complain so much coz i loved MHA and what it stood for, at some point. i loved how Hori went out of his way and had the balls to humanize the villains in the MVA arc and actually make us see the storyline from their perspective and why they are the way a=they are. there were so many things to be delved into within the confounds of the manga. now the plot is going nowhere, it's all over the place, uninteresting cliffhangers, and just utter nonsense and pure garbage plotline. I cant wait to clap with my feet once the manga ends. bakugou should've died. There, i said it!

I am now also taking commissions for art pieces if you ever want yourself drawn in manga style or your OC drawn!

So I’m now taking Fairytail, Eden’s Zero, and My Hero Academia oneshots and imagines requests. If your interested send me an ask or DM and I’ll do my best to write you a great oneshot/imagine!

Rules:

I’ll take anything except SMUT and Lemons. Fluff and Angst are ok.

I can do character x character, character x reader or character x OC. If it’s OC I will need a little background information.

You can give me a prompt, otherwise I’ll make one up.

I can do AU’s just please give me a little context to what it is.

I can do pronouns if you want otherwise I’ll choose.

Please be patient with me. I’ll update as soon as I can.

You can request at any time and I will always respond when I see your request.

Enjoy your day everyday!!!❤️❤️❤️ That’s my motto and I will always remind everybody! So love yourself always and go out there and enjoy the day!!!❤️❤️
