Little Devils

A/N: @exhaustedpotat0 I hope I exceeded your expectations 🤗. Fun fact about me; I get story ideas at the most random times during the day, like for example when I’m making chocolate milk, poof there is an idea I’ve been trying to come up with for days (yes I am 20, yes I still prefer chocolate milk above coffee, fight me 🥊). ANyWaz thank you for the request and support!

Warnings: near death experience I guess? Bribing if that’s a warning

Genre: fluff? Crack? Idk tbh

"It is time for the annual girls-day!" Cana announced as soon as she walked into the guild.

The Fairy Tail girls had picked a date and proclaimed it as the Fairy Queens off day. That day no girl of the guild would work a job or work at the guild itself. They'd all go out of town and enjoy a peaceful day at a resort.

It would be your first time since you had only recently joined the guild because Laxus had requested it. He proposed the idea since you were a bartender at a bar a couple of streets away. He didn't see the point when you could just work here in the guild alongside Mira-Jane. Everyone knew that the real reason was actually, so he could keep a close eye on you and making sure you were okay, but God forbid he'd ever say that out loud.

"I can't," you said as you separated your boys from fighting. Aidan and Keishi were the spitting images of their father. Both having the same blonde locks paired with two soft eyes matching yours.

"Why not?" Erza asked as she helped you.

"I can't leave the boys unattended" you explained as you picked up the crying child and placed him on your hip while Erza scolded the other.

"Let Laxus do it" Bisca shrugged her shoulder as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "Alzack did so with Romeo when he was still a child"

You bit the inside of your cheek as you let the suggestion sink in. Laxus had never cared for the children alone. You were always around, and if for some reason you had to go do something, one of the girls was always there to assist him.

"I don't know" you mumbled as your eyes landed on Laxus that was unbothered chatting with Freed and Bickslow.

"Come on, (Y/N). He'll be fine. He's their dad after all" Levy tried to persuade you.

"Oi! You girls still here? Shouldn't you be leaving for your annual girls day?" Natsu asked, ditching the argument he had with Gray just moments ago.

"That's the plan, but (Y/N) doesn't want to go because she isn't sure if she should leave the kids alone" Lucy explained.

Upon hearing the explanation, Laxus decided to stand up and join the conversation as well "they wouldn't be alone, they'll have me"

"Are you sure you'll be able to handle them?" You asked as you looked up at your significant other.

"Is that a challenge?" He shot back while raising an eyebrow in amusement.

"No! No, of course not. It's just... They can be a lot sometimes" you hurriedly explained at which a soft chuckle left his lips, followed by a kiss pressed against your head "I'll be fine"

"Then it's settled! Let's go!" Lisanna yelled as she linked her arm with her sister, basically dragging the older girl with her as she left the guild.

Erza grabbed your arm, refraining you from turning back "Call me if something happens! I'll be back as soon as I can! I love you!"

And with that all the women of Fairy Tail had left the guild, leaving only the men and children behind.

The first few hours flew by as if nothing had changed, the biggest adjustment being Mira-Jane or you not filling their cups when they were empty.

"I really don't understand what (Y/N) was making a big deal out of. This day has passed by swimmingly" Bickslow chuckled as he placed his foot on the table while leaning back in the chair. Normally you or Mira would've scolded him, but with neither of you being there, he thought he'd take advantage of it.

Karma was lurking around the corner, cause as soon as the words rolled off Bickslow's tongue, everything went South.

Your children started a competition to see who could climb the highest point in the guild. They were both a couple of feet in the air when the youngest slipped, losing all flooring underneath his feet.

Had it not been for Jet's speed, the fall would have been catastrophic. "Not a word to (Y/N) about this"

Laxus was desperately comforting Keishi who was inconsolable as he just saw his short life flash before his very own eyes. Meanwhile, Gray and Natsu were trying their hardest to get the eldest down.

"Aiden! Get down here!" Natsu ordered as he started climbing up as well. The child didn't listen, only climbing higher as he took notice of the struggling adult.

His laughter filled the guild, but that soon turned into screams as the Fire Dragon Slayer got hold of his leg. "No! Let go of me!"

Natsu succeeded in getting down safely along with Aiden that was now also crying uncontrollably, leaving Laxus with two very upset children.

"Mommy!" "I want mommy!" The two cried out for their mother that was unbeknownst to the situation, relaxing in a hot spring a couple of cities away.

Laxus held Keishi close, rocking him softly as his hand softly rubbed circles on his back. He had seen you do this countless times, so why did it seem so hard when he did it? Elfman held the oldest, copying Laxus as good as he could.

"Shouldn't we call (Y/N)?" Gray sighed, annoyance evident on his face as every attempt at trying to calm the boys down seemed to fail.

"No!" Laxus exclaimed, earning him even louder sobs from the young child in his arms. He shushed him before returning to Gray in a lower voice "(Y/N) doesn't think I can handle our children"

"I can see why" Natsu snickered, resulting in a murderous look from the father.

"Freed, can't you put them in like a soundproof box or something with your magic" Gajeel groaned at the loud wails that kept coming from your children.

"You will not do such a thing" Laxus snapped at Gajeel in a hushed tone, already learning from his previous mistakes "I will prove to (Y/N) that I'm perfectly capable of taking care of my boys. Otherwise, she'll never trust me with them again"

"We still have a couple of hours left until the girls come back. We could try bribing them with sweet, perhaps?" Freed suggested.

Everyone turned to look at the green-haired mage as if he was an angel that was sent from up above. "Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Aidan, Keishi, if you stop crying we'll go get ice cream" Laxus tried and at the sound of the cold deliciousness, their crocodile tears slowly came to a halt.

"Can we have two flavors, daddy?" Keishi asked as he looked at his father with puppy dog eyes.

"No- yes, fine, you can have two flavors" Laxus quickly changed his answer as he saw tears forming back in the corner of his eyes. He knew you'd have his head if you found out. The two boys really turned into little nightmares if they had too much sugar.

"Yay! Let's go" Aidan exclaimed happily, wriggling in Elfman's arms, signalling that he wanted to be put on the ground.

Laxus let both his sons grab a hand as they guided him out of the guild and to the ice cream shop.

"Please don't come back!" Gajeel called after them as they stepped outside the guild, sighing happily at the thought of some peace and quietness.

"Alright, now boys, I need you to listen to daddy for a second" the dragon slayer crouched down to look at them on eye-level while the two carelessly licked away at the sweet dessert in their hands. "Mommy can't find out about today. It was a normal relaxing day without any problems, alright?"

"What's in it for us?" Aidan asked as he looked at his father, still eating the ice cream that had slightly melted on his hand.

"What the- there's nothing in it for you. I am your father" Laxus started but stopped when the boys shared an unimpressed look. For being only 3 and 4, the two definitely had an attitude. "Fine I'll each give you 5 bucks that you can spend in the candy shop"

"10" Keishi chimed in.

Laxus stood perplexed. Was he really negotiating with his own children? More importantly, how was he the one losing the negotiation? "Fine"

The elder mage did as promised, handing both boys their money to which they high-fived. "Let's go back, the girls are about to return home"

Not even 5 minutes later as the three arrived back at Fairy Tail, the girls had returned.

"Mommy!" The two children ran up to you once they caught a glimpse of your face "boys!"

Laxus walked up as well, giving you a soft peck on your lips, earnings fake gagging from Aidan and Keishi "boys that's enough. How did it go, baby?"

"Normal, not much out of the ordinary, right boys?" As on cue, your children nodded their head in agreement.

"Really? So I could leave you more often with the boys?" You eyed him suspiciously, already picking up on his small habit of twirling a strand of your hair between his fingers when he was nervous or lying.

"No! I mean, I think I should help you take care of them more regularly. I'm sorry for ditching you so often to sit with the guys" he apologized at which a small chuckle escape your lips.

You wondered what happened today, but decided not to press it. It will be a secret between all the men at Fairy Tail and you respected it, knowing very well one would slip up when they had a couple of beers too much "it's alright, and I would love that"

Be My Valentine? (Nalu)

Masterlist

Warnings: None, this is just fluff.

Relationships: Nalu, with a background love triangle between Touka, Happy, and Carla, and some background gruvia.

Summary: Set after the Wood God Dragon Aldron Arc. While Happy is debating on whether or not he should accept chocolates from Touka or Carla, Lucy is debating on whether or not she should give Natsu the ones she bought for him. Will Lucy finally be able to tell Natsu how she feels, and will he be able to understand and tell her that he feels the same?

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

“Oh wow! This is quite a Valentine’s Day surprise!” Happy exclaims. 

Both Touka and Carla were currently standing in front of him, each one of them holding a box of chocolates in a heart shaped box, traditional for the Holiday. 

“No one’s ever given me chocolates for Valentine’s Day before, and now this year, the first time I’m getting chocolate it’s not just from one beautiful cat but two!” Happy exclaims and little hearts float around his head. 

“I must be the luckiest Exceed alive!” He cheers. 

“I wasn’t sure what kind you like, so I got you an assortment of a bunch of different flavors” Carla says. “But knowing what gluttons you and Natsu are, I’m sure you’re not too particular about flavor anyway.” 

“How rude of you Carla!” Touka exclaims. “I only just got separated from the White Wizard yesterday thanks to your Dragon Slayer’s magic, and I was still able to muster up enough energy to make homemade chocolates for my Savior on this day of love!” Touka opened up her heart shaped box and presented the treats to Happy. “Do you like them Happy-sama? Natsu told me how much you like fish so I cut up some pieces of a raw fish and put them inside each chocolate just for you.” 

“That sounds disgusting!” Carla huffs. 

“That sounds delicious!” Happy exclaims and his tail wags excitedly behind him. “How ever will I choose which one of you will be my Valentine!” 

“Valentine?” Natsu asks. 

He had been standing behind Happy and was very confused by what his Exceed partner was currently experiencing with these two. 

“What the heck is a Valentine?” He asks. 

“I would love to try to explain it to you but I doubt you’d understand.” Carla sighs. 

“I can explain it!” Happy says. “It’s a Holiday where if a cute girl gives you chocolates it means that she likes you and wants you to be her Valentine!” 

“Okay so now I understand the candy part, sort of, but I still don’t know what the heck a Valentine is!” Natsu groans. “What does it mean when a girl wants you to be her Valentine?” 

“You’re a smart guy Natsu!” Touka encourages. “Just look at what’s going on with the townspeople and your guild mates around you, I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it out.” 

Natsu frowns and looks around to observe what was going on with his friends and the other people in town. He noticed the women going to different stores and meeting up with people and giving them boxes of chocolates, all of them with the same heart shape box. Then he noticed Gajeel and Levy walking together, holding hands and Gajeel was carrying a box too while Levy’s free hand was resting over her womb. 

On the other side of the street, Juvia was squealing Gray’s name and he turned to see her holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates in front of his face. Gray scoffs and looks away from her, seemingly rejecting the gift and a look of disappointment came across her face. Gray looks back and blushes when he notices how sad she looks so he quickly takes the box out of her hands and hides it behind him while leaning down to whisper something in her ear that makes her squeal before covering her mouth with her hands while her face turns bright red. Gray’s face was just as red and he quickly took her hand and led her away somewhere while Juvia’s eyes had turned into two pink hearts and more were floating around her head. 

“Okay I’m still confused.” Natsu huffs. 

“Really?” Touka asks in disbelief. “I thought it was so obvious.” 

“You would think so but Natsu is a special kind of oblivious” Carla explains to Touka. “He doesn't even realize it when someone literally has feelings for him!”

To prove her point, Carla points her paw towards Lucy who was standing on the sidewalk a few feet behind Natsu, holding a heart-shaped box of chocolates in her hands and blushing. 

The poor girl was anxious enough as it is. She was originally not going to even bother with getting Natsu chocolates because she knew he wasn’t interested in romance. But after that close call with Touka, and everyone thinking she had feelings for him even if it turned out to be Happy instead, it still got her a bit worried and kind of jealous. That along with the encouragement of the other girls, had pushed her to give this a try. She had been harboring this crush on him for awhile now and Cana was right. If Natsu doesn’t know how she feels about him, there was a chance, albeit a small one, that another girl could come along and steal him. But more importantly, Natsu was her closest friend and she loved him. He deserved to know the truth. So with a deep breath, she walks towards him and taps her shoulder. 

“Hey there Natsu.” She says softly. 

Natsu turns and smiles when he sees her. She couldn’t help but give him a small smile in return. She loved that goofy grin of his. 

“Hey there Luce! What’s up?” He asks. 

“Nothing much. I just wanted to give you something to celebrate the Holiday today.” Lucy says and presents the box of chocolates to him. 

Natsu looks surprised and the three Exceeds hold their breath in anticipation. 

“So you want me to be your Valentine?” Natsu asks. 

Lucy’s blush grows darker and she casts her eyes to the ground as she nods slowly. 

“Yeah, I do. Do you want to be mine?” She asks. 

“Of course!” He exclaims happily. 

She gasps and looks up at him, hope shimmering in her eyes, only to have it shatter as she watches him hungrily wolf down the chocolates. 

“I’d never turn someone down when they’re offering me food! These chocolates taste really good! It’s awesome that there’s another Holiday aside from Halloween dedicated to giving candy to your best friends!” Natsu says. 

The three Exceeds facepalmed. 

Lucy looks disappointed and sad as she lets out a melancholy sigh. 

Natsu immediately halts his chocolate feast when he sees how upset Lucy looks. 

“Hey Luce, is something wrong?” He asks. 

She puts on a fake smile for him. 

“No. Nothing’s wrong, this went pretty much how I expected it too. I’ll just be going now. Enjoy your chocolates.” Lucy says with feigned happiness as she turns and briskly walks away from him. 

Natsu watches her leave, not entirely convinced that she was telling the truth, but he wasn’t sure what else could be bothering her so he decides to continue eating his chocolates instead. That was the plan anyway, until Touka grabs the box out of his hands. 

“Hey Touka what gives! Lucy gave those to me because I’m her Valentine!” Natsu shouts angrily. 

“Exactly! You’re supposed to be her Valentine, but you didn’t even acknowledge her feelings!” Touka retorts. 

“I agree with Touka. It took Lucy a lot of courage to confess to you, and you don’t even have the sense to recognize it! If you can’t do that then you certainly don’t deserve her chocolates!” Carla agrees. 

“Hey it’s not my fault no one ever told me what a Valentine is!” Natsu argues. “I didn’t mean to make her upset, I just don’t understand what any of this means!” 

“It means that she looovvveeesss you.” Happy says and holds his paws and bats his eyelashes at Natsu. 

Suddenly, Natsu felt his heart drop to his stomach. 

“Lucy loves me?” He asks. 

“Yes Natsu! That’s what a Valentine is! It’s the person that you love! Do you love Lucy back?” Touka asks him. 

Natsu turned away from her to look down the path that Lucy had left on. After a few moments he jogs down the sidewalk and the three Exceeds smile, knowing that means he knows what his answer is. 

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

He spent all day looking for Lucy. He tried to track her scent but that was hard to do with five different cities she could be in to choose from. When Natsu finally found Lucy it was nighttime and she was sitting under a tree in a park. He smiles to portray an air of confidence even though on the inside his heart was pounding as he approaches her.

Lucy looks up and sees him standing in front of her and frowns.

“Hmph! Let me guess, you’re here to ask Virgo to dig another hole for you or something?” Lucy huffs.

Natsu couldn’t help but grin, remembering that night he had asked Lucy to meet him in Magnolia Park and she had gotten upset. He hadn’t understood what made her so mad then, but he definitely knew now.

“You know, I never told you that night but I thought you looked beautiful.” He says on the fly.

That causes Lucy to gasp and blush as she suddenly looked up at him, eyes shining with tears that threatened to spill at any moment from his unexpected endearment.

Natsu knelt down in front of her, and took a strand of her hair and stroked it between his fingers. 

“You look beautiful tonight too. You always have. You’re so radiant Lucy, and I’ve been a fool not to notice it.” Natsu admits. 

Lucy was too stunned to speak. The tears that were forming in her eyes now spilled down her cheeks as her brain tried to process what exactly Natsu was saying to her. 

“Natsu...” She whispers. 

This couldn’t be happening right? This wasn’t real. Natsu never says anything romantic ever. He’s as dense as a rock when it came to romance, surely him telling her he thinks she’s beautiful has to be some sort of tee-up for a prank or nasty joke! Well if it was, she wasn’t going to stick around to have her heart broken again. 

Lucy got up to run away and that’s when Natsu grabbed her in his arms and the next thing she knew his lips were pressed against hers. She immediately went limp in his hold and accepted the kiss as his strong arms tightened around her waist and his hands rested on the small of her back. Her heart was pounding faster than it ever had before, and she knew that was because of him. She couldn’t believe he was actually kissing her right now, she had wanted this to happen for so long, and now his lips were finally on hers and she couldn’t help but kiss him back as tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. 

Natsu was surprised by how warm and happy he felt when he kissed Lucy. Her lips were soft just like the rest of her, but when he had his lips against hers something inside of him clicked. A feeling had awakened that he had never felt before, and it felt like a new kind of fire was burning in his heart, and he loved how it felt. 

When their lips parted he looked into Lucy’s eyes with that soft look that he only ever looked at her and Happy with. 

“So is this your way of saying you’ll be my Valentine?” Lucy asks. 

“Yeah but I don’t want to just be your Valentine Luce. I don’t want this to last for just one day. It took me a long time to figure it out, but I love you Lucy.” Natsu admits. 

Lucy gasps and tears up at his confession as a small smile spreads across her face. 

“I’ve felt this way for awhile now. I was going to tell you before we went on the 100 Year Quest but I got cold feet and decided that I should just tell you afterwards. I’m sorry for all of the mixed signals and keeping you in the dark for so long, I didn’t think it would make you so upset and that’s the last thing I would ever want to do to you. I’m not good at this whole romance thing. I’ve never paid it any mind for my entire life until I met you, and then I realized what it was all about, but I still had no idea how to show you and I still don’t. I’m not like Loke or those guys you read about in those romance books who could sweep you off of your feet or come up with cheesy poetry about how pretty your are or something sappy like that like Gajeel does for Levy” Lucy laughs. “So I’m telling you right now that I love you, and I’ll never feel this way about anyone else. I want to spend my whole life with you at my side going on adventures together with Happy and hey maybe even a couple of kids along the way” they both chuckled at that. “That is, if you’ll have me?” 

“Oh Natsu, of course I will! I love you you big dummy!” Lucy exclaims and throws her arms around him and hugs him tight. 

Natsu nuzzles his cheek against hers and brings one of his hands up to the nape of her neck and pulls her back to gently wipe a few tears from her cheek while kissing away the ones on the other. 

“I don’t care that you’re not a suave romantic like the characters in my books. I fell in love with you because of the person you are, you don’t ever have to change. Just knowing that you feel the same as I do is enough for me, honestly. We’ll be together forever, and not just for today, I promise.” Lucy says. 

Natsu nods and then they both lean in and kiss each other again.

Lucy lifted one of her legs off of the ground and bent her knee, popping her foot behind her as she and Natsu kissed, and as if it was something straight out of a fairy tale, a bunch of shooting stars streaked across the night sky above them, a good omen for this new step in their lifelong relationship with each other.

Nalu Halloween Oneshot

I wrote this a while back but I'm bringing it to Tumblr even though it ain't Halloween just have it.

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

It was the night before Halloween, decorations were being put up by all the guild members in Fairy Tail. Everyone had gotten assigned roles. Lucy darted her eyes up and down the list she had been given. She was in charge of buying all the candy.

"Lucyyyy..." Natsu Pleaded.

"Hm, what's up Natsu?" She responded.

"Let me come with you...! He cried into her back.

She looked up at him, confused.

She sighed, "Don't you have your own job to be doing?"

"Well," He started,

"It won't be nearly as fun without you..." He pouted, looking downwards.

Lucy looked downwards at the salmon-haired boy, blushing tints on pink across her cheeks.

"W-well.." She started, "We can go get Candy for the trick-or-treaters who visit my place later, okay?"

"Alright..." He states and flashes his grin.

"Also... Luce?" He continues,

Lucy turned back to face him, tilting her head.

"You look pretty cute today..." He finishes.

Lucy wandered aisles of the stores and browsed through the market stalls, mumbling after herself.

"Natsu... called me cute?" She mumbled.

Lucy slapped her cheeks with both of her hands, calling her list to fall and she quickly picked it back up.

She sighed to herself.

"I mean... I guess he has always cared about me... he is the densest idiot I've ever met." She chuckled.

Lucy continued to stroll through the different stalls and markets, Halloween themed items sprawled across most.

She walked through buying different candies and ticking all the candy one by one off the list.

Fairy Tail was holding a Halloween themed event/party and it would be starting in 2 hours time.

"Okay... I think that does it!" Lucy smiled happily and ticked the last option off the list.

Lucy struggled, stumbling towards the guild, bags of candy in her hands. She was obviously struggling with the weight of the bags, the list was pretty extreme. Lucy finally made her way to the guild doors, moving very slowly but going as fast as she could. As soon as she arrived, she tripped on a mini pumpkin and fell face-first into the floor. People nearly to entrance chuckled at her actions. She scratched the back of her head nervously and stood up to pick the bags back up, but ho have it snatched out of her hands.

"Luce, ya really gotta be looking where you're going" The familiar Salmon-haired boy laughed.

He carried the bags in and set them on the table with other decorations.

"Didn't hurt your self at all... did ya?" Natsu asked, his face inching closer to hers.

"N-no I'm totally fine..." She stuttered, giving him a reassuring smile.

"Alright then Luce, I'm glad."

Lucy smiled and then looked at the clock, one and a half hours till the event huh? She wondered if Natsu had even remembered to buy an outfit. Master said they must dress for the event. She'd need to be getting herself ready sooner or later. Lucy decided to head back home to ready for the upcoming event. She waved a farewell to her guildmates and made her way home, accompanied by her spirit companion.

Lucy had a long bath, scrubbing thoroughly through her hair and rising back out. She was wearing a towel wrapped around her head and a towel covering her body. She dried her hair and then made a few curls at the ends while adding a bit of makeup to her face.

"Hm, I wonder where I put it..." Lucy spoke to herself while darting her eyes around the room.

"Oh! here it is"

She held out the outfit in front of her,  it was a witch costume. The top part of the dress was white and buttoned with frills going up the torso, complemented with a frilly skirt part of the dress. Her witches hat was tall and toppled over the side of her head. Thigh-high socks that showed exposure to the top of her thigh and red-laced heels. A cape flew a bit above her waist and she held a wizard-like staff to herself.

"That's perfect" She grinned.

Lucy scanned the apartment and eventually peered over the window, taken aback to not see the salmon-haired boy climbing up her building wall to intrude in her space. The blonde celestial mage was kind of disappointed since she still had about 15 minutes till the event, she might've enjoyed some company until then. She sat up and walked in front of the mirror, giving herself a little twirl and a giggle.

"Finally!" She threw her arms in the air.

It was about time for the event. There was still no sign of the Rowdy Firehead she had been hoping to spot. As soon as she closed the door behind her, a cold breeze of air flew by, making Lucy rub her arms for warmth. Even with the cape and the full outfit, it was still a very cold night out. Clutching the fake staff in both hands, she slowly made her way to the guild in the cold air of the night.

"Woah... cool outfit Lucy!"

"Looking good Lu-chan!"

"Cute outfit Lucy!"

"T-thanks"

Lucy suddenly felt weird... no one had gone to the extreme with their outfits like she did. Everyone had only been wearing Halloween themed onesies, jumpers or subtle outfits, unlike her who had gone mostly full out on her attire. She scanned the guild for the familiar pink-haired boy again, still no sign of him. The blonde walked over to her bluenette friend how was standing next to the well-known iron dragon slayer.

"Hey Levy... Or Gajeel for that matter, have you seen Natsu anywhere?"

"Sorry, Lu-chan I haven't..."

"Nope, sorry Lucy I ain't seen him from up here either..."

Gajeel earned a smack for that one.

"Alright, thanks for telling me!" Lucy waved.

It was about an hour into the event and Lucy still hadn't seen Natsu anywhere at all. She sighed, the Halloween show was about to start which means the event would be over by the time the show finishes.

"I wonder what the show will be about..."

"Probably something over the top, I mean its Fairy Tail after all!"

The guilds lights darkened.

"Hello all!" Spoke a familiar voice.

Master had appeared on stage.

"This year, we have a very special guest for our show!"

He took the mic and ran off stage.

"Of course we have a performance for us today, so, welcome... Mi-" Master had been cut off.

"MWAHAHAHAHAHA...!"

"I know that voice all too well" Lucy sighed.

Natsu jumped in from the roof, wearing a Vampire/Dracula type outfit with fangs bearing out.

"It is I... Count Natsdruca!" He cackled.

Master appeared and kicked Natsu off the stage, landing in front of Lucy.

"As I was saying..." Master's voice trailed off.

"Oh, Heya Luce." He grinned.

"I'm guessing you'd HAVE to make an entrance like that..." She smiled.

"Of course I would've."

"It also looks like you went over the top yourself..." He added.

"I thought everyone else would've..." She frowned.

"Not everyone." He denied.

Lucy looked up at him, confused.

"There's me." He stated happily.

"Of course it would be you, it would always be you..." She faintly trailed off.

"So you wouldn't mind me doing this...?" He smirked.

Lucy looked at him in concern, furrowing her eyebrows.

"What do you me-"

Lucy was cut off by Natsu's lips connecting with hers. They shared a sweet kiss under the guild's dim lights.

"Hehe," Natsu chuckled.

Lucy pouted and turned away.

"HEY! you liked it too y'know?" He reasoned.

"I did you, idiot..."

"But I can be your idiot now since we'll always be together."  

[nextgensquad]

hey pearl, so i just finished reputation and i loved it!! i really wish there was more of it, so i’ll just ask about the story arc i was most interested in - what happens to abby after the events that have elapsed? does she get together with james? what does her child end up being like? where does her life go from this point?

(companion piece to this)

one.

AbigailLongbottom has had a plan for her life as long as she can remember.

It’sthe third time she goes to see her grandparents, when she’s seven years old,and the first time she’s old enough to have a memory of the visit. Her brotherJake goes in first, and then Neville takes her hand and lets her clutch ittight before leading her into the quiet room where his parents are. Abby hidesbehind her father and peers out at the two strangers, their glassy eyes andgreying hair, the way they don’t recognize their grandson.

“Daddy,”she whispers, tugging on his arm, “I’m scared.”

Nevilledraws his arm around her and takes her to the side of the room. “There’snothing to be scared of, Abby. They’re your grandparents, remember?”

“Iknow.” Abby wrings her hands together. “But I’m scared for them. They don’tknow me. They might think I’m an evil witch like Bella—Bellatrix Lechange.”

Neville’slips quirk. “Honey, nobody on Earth could ever think that. You’re theirgranddaughter. They’ll know it deep down, okay?”

Abbylooks over at her grandmother, talking with Hannah about an incomprehensiblesubject. Jake is trying to show his grandfather an easy, colorful game on hisnew smartphone. The room feels so small, to have two whole lives containedhere. Their jug of water is half-empty on the dresser. She knows if she looksinto the fridge, there’ll be barely anything there. A deep, irrepressiblesadness takes place inside her chest until she feels like she can’t breathe.

“Daddy,”she cries. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry I wanna—”

Nevillescoops her into his arms and takes her out of the room before the panic attacksets in. Abby cries in his arms that whole afternoon, for her father, for hergrandparents, for herself. She’s too young to comprehend that sort of pain, tooyoung to understand where it comes from.

Thatnight, when she gets home, she decides she’s going to save them.

two.

Whenshe’s seventeen, she gets an early acceptance to St. Mungo’s apprenticeshipprogram under Healer Robbins and the first place she goes is straight to herfather’s office to tell him; the second place is the garage in downtown Londonwhere she knows her best friend has snuck out to that weekend to get hermotorcycle fixed up.

“Abby!”Lucy Weasley says in delight, swooping her up in a hug. “That’s amazing! You’rereally gonna go save the world, aren’t you?”

“Justthe people who need it,” Abby says with an embarrassed laugh, disentanglingherself from her best friend. “Like you, if you aren’t careful at your racethis weekend.”

Lucyflashes her a smile, all teeth like a shark. “I’m always careful.”

‘Careful’is not the first word that comes to mind when one thinks of Lucy Weasley. Sharpand wicked and ferocious, maybe. Always with a hand on the wheel and a foot onthe gas pedal, pushing further and faster and higher and better. Reckless andrestless. Running from something, running from everything.

Abbyloves her, but she worries. If she doesn’t have the hands that heal, the magicof a medic, will Lucy be okay? Will Lucy come back?

Sucha Gryffindor instinct, her mother hadtold her once, smiling fondly, brushing Abby’s blonde hair back into a braid, towant to save everyone else from themselves.

It’shard to feel like she belongs in Gryffindor, surrounded by Potters and Weasleysso full of fire and rage and glory, but sometimes the word bravery fitsinto her heart just right. Just good enough to make her smile.

three.

She’snot going to tell anyone about the baby. She’s not. She’s going to wake uptomorrow and go to the clinic and get rid of it. That’s what she’s going to do.

It’sthe only thing to do. The only course of action that makes sense.

Shehas a plan. She’s not going to be pregnant at nineteen. She’s going to graduatefrom the St. Mungo’s apprenticeship, she’s going to become a Healer, she’sgoing to save her grandparents and Lucy and everyone else in the world.

That’swhat she’s going to do.

She’ssitting at her kitchen table when Fred finds her.

“Hey,”he says softly. “I was looking for Lucy, is she… are you okay?”

Abbyswallows. Shakes her head.

He’sthe first person she tells.

IfAbby is a healer, then Fred is a fixer. He repairs Lucy’s motorcycles with thesame care he takes with his cousins, firm and gentle and easy. Fixes cars withthe delicate determination of someone capable of reaching into something’s gutsand pulling them all out one by one and rearranging them into something thatmakes it all worthwhile. Takes science and turns it into magic.

Heasks her if she wants the baby.

She’sgoing to say no.

Theword “yes” comes out of her instead, small and terrified, a fluttering birdtrying to take flight.

four.

Hergrandmother offers her a candy wrapper.

Abbyturns it over in her hands, smoothing out the wrinkles and then twisting itback up again. Beneath it, her stomach is round with the shape of her child,and her grandmother smiles at her, with no comprehension of the new lifegrowing in there.

“Itold him the child would be a Longbottom,” she says conversationally. As if hergrandmother can understand. As if the words won’t just slide through Alice’smind like water down a pipe. “The gossip blogs all think it should be a Potter,obviously, but…”

Shecurls her free hand around her stomach, protective already. “It’s important tome. That this is a Longbottom child. That this is—that you’re—”

Alicereaches over and presses her hand over Abby’s, against her belly. It’s such astrange and startling gesture that the tears disappear from her eyes as shestares at her grandmother.

“Doyou understand?” Abby whispers, desperate and hoping. “This is yourgreat-grandchild. This is—this is proof, you know. That you survived. Thateverything you went through, everything you did—it was worth it. Because Dadexists. Because Jake and I exist. Because…”

Alicesmiles at her. It’s a vacant smile. A faraway smile. But she doesn’t pull backlike she always does. Doesn’t spook away from her granddaughter’s touch, whenAbby places her other hand, candy wrapper clutched between her fingers, on topof Alice’s. Doesn’t move at all, the two of them sitting in the quiet, coldhospital room, listening to the child inside her.

five.

Lucycurls up in the hospital bed with her. “Am I the godmother?”

Abbylaughs, interlacing their fingers. Her daughter sleeps in the crib just nearby.Every bone in her body aches from exhaustion. “Of course you are. You and Al.”

“Don’tyou need a third?”

“No.”Abby leans her head on Lucy’s and glances up to the doorway, her gaze seekingout the familiar figure situated in the chair just outside her room. “She’s gota lot of people who love her around here.”

Lucyfollows her gaze to where Fred is sitting, half-asleep with his head in hishands, still wearing the clothes he had been in when he’d taken Abby to thehospital. She shoots her best friend a fond smile.

“It’strue. Potter, Weasley, Abbott, Longbottom. Killer combo right there. Nothingbut love.”

“Yeah,”agrees Abby, her voice softened with tiredness and peace all at once. “If there’sone thing our families do right, it’s love.”

six.

Eleanorhas her grandfather’s green eyes.

Shecan tell it shakes James, just a little, when he comes over to her house.Bright, bright green, the same shade as his brother’s, set in a Weasley-roundface, framed by tufts of Abby’s blonde hair. The Longbottom nose and the Abbottlips and the Potter spirit all wound up in one little girl.

“Ifeel like I should be jealous,” he tells Abby, as Eleanor bats at his face withtiny fists, giggling with a baby’s delight for finding new objects of attention.“That those green eyes skipped me entirely.”

“Alsays we should start telling people he’s the father,” Abby says, looking upfrom her papers to smile at them. “Just to confuse the tabloids.”

Jamessnorts. “It would work, too. Do you know that fake baby rumor is still goingaround? That she’s some sort of fucking—sorry, sorry—a magic doll.”

“Shecan’t understand you yet, you know.”

“I’mtrying to cut down the cursing in advance.” James flashes her a sheepish grin. “Justso I’m prepared.”

Abbywatches him thoughtfully for a moment, as he leans in to make faces at hisdaughter, adoring and generous with the love he’s always tried so hard to keepcrushed inside him. Pulling it all out from deep within his heart to lay itbare at Eleanor’s tiny feet.

It’snot perfect, not now, not ever, but it’s not what it was nine months ago. Jamesisn’t who he was nine months ago.

She’snot sure she was ever supposed to be a mother. She knows James was never meantto be a father. Parenthood sits awkward around the both of them, a fragilething they keep grasping at with both hands, trying desperately to be good atit. To be good for her.

It’snot what she thought it would be, but it’s theirs.

seven.

Freddoesn’t kiss her for the first time until Eleanor is three years old, potteringaround the garden under her grandfather’s watchful eye, the two of them standingin the shade of the gazebo and laughing about old jokes, times before thefuture had taken a hold of them.

“Whattook you so long?” Abby asks him, breathing soft, when he pulls back.

Hehesitates, trails his fingers down her bare arm. The cool metal of hisprosthetic glints under the afternoon sunlight. Abby catches his hand and holdsit tight.

“Ididn’t want you to think—that this was because of Eleanor—or James,” heexplains, halting and nervous where he’s always been so steady, so gentle. “Becauseit’s not. It’s you.”

Abbyslides her free hand into his dark curls, pushes herself up to kiss him again. It’ssweeter now than it would have been if he’d done it three years ago, or whenthey were teenagers. Before they knew the places they were meant to be, thespaces they were meant to take, the people they were meant to love.

Sweeternow that they’ve made it here, past the pain and the heartache and the mess.She smiles into the kiss, thinks—This was worth it. This was worth all ofit.

Oneday, her grandparents will open their eyes and see it, too.

Loudtale Chapter 1, RUINS

A long time ago, there lived two races, humans and monsters. One day, war broke out, but because there were humans that have befriended the monsters for a long amount of time, so a few of the humans joined the monsters as their allies during the war. After a long battle, the humans were victorious, and with the best sorcerers, they created a magical barrier to seal the monsters underground, along with the humans whom sided with them were casted deep underground together and never to be seen again.

201X, Mount Ebbot

Legand say that people who climbs this mountain never returns.

AN:the humans whom sided with the monsters had gain their trust and were granted with some magic abilities, and some humans even lived as long as the monsters, which the scientists had claimed the humans had evolved into half like monsters ,(for instance, Rita has toriels horns, Lisa has alphas tail and Lynn has blue skin) in which case, they shared the ability to stay alive for a long time.

A small figure with a red cap fell into the cave of mount Ebbot, she landed on a patch of white flowers,it was dark, the only source of light was from where she had fallen, "Well, guess there's no turning back now. "Lana thought. She was wearing a dark blue sweater with sappy green stripes, with her hair in two pigtails tied down and missing front teeth. She saw only one way and went through the door, in front of her was a patch of grass, and among the patch was a single white flower ,the flower had a baby-ish face, and greeted Lana with mostly baby gibberish, but somehow Lana understood the white flower, the lilian said, "Poo poo" (Howdy, I'm lily, lily the lilian, you're a human aren't cha? Hehe ,you must be so confused, somebody ought to teach ya how things work around here). "The room got dark, a red heart formed in front of Lana, "poopoo(that's your soul, the culmination of your being, your soul starts off weak, but you can get stronger by gaining exp, which would increase your lv, what does lv stands for? Why LOVE of course! You want some love don't cha, here have some friendliness pellets). "Five white pellets appear in front of her, " poo poo(Move your soul to catch them, ready? Here we go). "Lana thought, "this is unexpected, but this cute flower couldn't want to hurt me ,could it?? "

Just as the pellets gained a closer distance, a voice whisper in her head ,"MOVE YOU IDIOT!! "But it was too late, Lana was struck and pain coursed through her whole body, her hp went down to 1.When she was able to see, she saw lily laughing menacingly and said more baby gibberish, "Hehehe poopoo(YOU IDIOT! WHY WOULD ANYONE PASS UP A CHANCE LIKE THIS?!? AFTER ALL ,IN THIS WORLD ,IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED!! )"With that lily threw more pellets surrounding the red soul, as they inched closer, lily laughed with a maniacal smile, just as Lana thought she was a goner, the pellets vanished, she felt a sudden surge of relief, and was healed back to full hp, Lily the lilian was astonished and suddenly a fire ball flew and hit the flower out of sight. Just then , a blonde women in her mid forties wearing a-pink robe and white sleeves, she grumbled,"Dang it, this weird flower has been nothing but trouble. ",she turned and saw Lana confused and scared. "Hello there sweetie,don't be scared, I'm Rita, the caretaker of the ruins, I come through the ruins in case anyone is need of help, looks like you fell down from the surface aren't you honey? Come on, I'll guide you through the catatombs. "

As Rita lead Lana through the gateways and puzzles, she explained that one must solve each puzzles in order to enter the next room. Rita also explained that monsters in the ruin would attack and would be in a FIGHT,she said she can choose to FIGHT or ACT so that Rita would be able to solve the conflict. After a few rooms and a battle with a froggit (in which Lana was handling just fine by talking to it and bringing up her pet frog, but Rita got worry some and ask her to keep up), Rita intentionally fasten her pace to test Lana's independence. Fortunately for Lana, she was a fast one, and caught up to Rita with ease. While Rita was fixing her hair, she noticed a set of small horns on her head, but decided it was an underground thing and put the question aside. Just as Rita finished explaining the reason, Lana received a cell phone from her , in which looked very ancient and can only be used for calling. When Lana was asked to stay in the room she obliged, and off left Rita. After five minutes, Lana received a phone call from Rita, as she was concerned of Lana being alone, Lana told her she was doing just fine, but then she heard barking from the other side of the phone, "No Charles, come back here with my phone!!, "Lana was determined on helping Rita, (plus she wanted to check out that dog )so she entered the next room.

Just as Lana entered the room, a froggit from before showed up and talked to Lana. "Ribbit ribbit(Excuse me human, I have some important information on fighting monsters. When you encounter a monster, you can FIGHT them or ACT in a certain way to wear them out, but when they do not want to FIGHT, please human, use MERCY, and spare them.) "Lana deeply considered the options, as she was an animal lover on the surface, she nodded and went into a room with only a bowl of candy and a note that said"Take a piece ",so she took the monster candy and continued her journey.

Just as her journey begun, she encountered a whimsun, it was a small creature with wings behind, before she could say anything, whinsun flee in terror and disappeared. After another few encounters with some monsters and puzzles, Lana arrived in a room where a ghost was blocking the way, and from the unusual snoring, she realized the ghost was faking it. "Zzzzzzzsigh......aretheygoneyet?zzzzzzzzzzzz"Lana was tempted to walk pass it as it was misty and gloomy but decided it would be rude, so she gave a gentle push, and was encountered. NAPSTALUCE blocks the way. Napstaluce starts to sigh, the dread air slowly intercepts Lana while she dodged them. "Oh........... I'm sorry................ ".Lana decided to cheer her up, "that felt......a little better........ "Bats flew in and were all over the room, "Fangs, please ...............ask your friends............... to be nice............. "Lana dodged the little critters and cheered Napstaluce again, "Hey.......... do you......... want to hear........ my poems.....? "Lana agreed and so the ghost recited her poem.

I came to the ruins alone,

Never to be heard of a moan.

But just then somebody came,

And put all my misery away.

Napstaluce awaited patiently for Lana's response, Lana simply cheered and the ghost blushed"Oh gee......... "And the fight was over. Lucy the ghost have never felt this happy, she almost suppressed a smile"Sigh............I'm just a dark and gloomy ghost, never was I praised of anything but being dim, overlooked, but today I met someone who enjoys my poems and my presence being, and that's what I'll do." Napstaluce went through the wall and dissapeared.

After Napstaluce left, Lana continued her journey through the ruins. A bunch of other monsters were encountered, monsters like mouldsmol the pudding like monster, Vegetoid the carrot monster insisting Lana to eat her greens, Migosp, a beetle like monster that just wants to chill, three normal size froggits and an ant-size froggit who waved at Lana. Loox, who wanted Lana to pick on him.

In one room, the puzzle consisted of six trap doors, and only one of them had a button, so Lana decided to try her luck but ended up battling another Vegetoid. "Eat your greens.. "said Vegetoid, with a lot of concentration and avoidance Lana ate the green vegetables, just enough for Vegetoid to be satisfied. After the battle, she found a pink ribbon, and used it for her loosen blond hair ,which increased her defence. Lana came out of the chute and decided to try again,though in the next room, she saw nothing until Lucy the ghost materialized right behind her and scared the heck out of Lana , "Sigh...........,I was too focused on my poems that I stumbled in , sigh.............. now I'm stuck down here, sigh............"Lana questioned Napstaluce about her ghostly abilities,then it dawn to Napstaluce,"Oh right.......... I'm a ghost .............,sigh..........I can just levitate out of here............"And with that, the gloomy ghost left the room, but faintyet distanced sighs can be heard. Lana looked around, but saw no switches for the obstacle, and went back up. At the next room, she finally found the switch, and proceeded with her adventure.

After another series of puzzles, Lana went inside another room, and in a corner were spider webs and other little critters, there was a stand that said"Bug smooties, by bug critters, for bug critters. "Lana went through her inventory, and found it empty ,but she received a lot of gold from the battles, so she bought three bug smooties, and kept them just in case she would be at low hp. Next, she went forward and a foggit said to her "Hello human,not to be a bother, but I saw Rita passed by."Lana realized it was the same froggit from before and said"Okay, thanks for the tip. "wondering if she was on her way to the groceries, and decided to ask about it later .

In another room, a breathtaking view of a big city was shown, but from Lana's point of view, the city looked abandoned and hollow, not much life going on anywhere. On the left side of the floor, there laid a toy knife, Lana had a piece of stick as a weapon, she rarely used it in FIGHTS, but kept it anyway. So the toy knife was left behind, and Lana continued forth.

Lana reached a lifeless tree in the middle of the room,orange leaves we're scattered all around the tree bark, she felt sorrow for the old tree. Suddenly her phone rang, she heard someone from the other side of the tree saying"Oh dear, what's taking her so long? "And was startled as Lana appeared right in front of her ,"Oh, sweetie you made it, you must be tired from the whole journey, come, let's go inside ,I'm making a chocolate cake for you. "Lana followed Rita inside the house. The house looked small but cozy, in front of the doorway was a staircase down, Lana thought this must be the way to the basement or something. Rita said, "Welcome to your new home sweetie "She led Lana to the right and entered a hallway, but stopped in front of a room, "So this is your room, "she explained, and patted Lana's head in a sweet motherly way. A burning scent came in, "Is something burning? Ermm I'd better go check, you just make yourself comfortable okay? "With that, she paced off anxiously to the way they came in. Lana decided to look around and adjust herself in to the new territory and went down the hall. There were white flowers decorated all over the place, Lana stopped at Rita's room, trying to debate to herself whether to explore the rooms or just get into her own, her final decision was thinking, it couldn't hurt to peek around a bit right?

And so she did.In Rita's room, more lilians were in various corners, a single bed was placed at the left side of the room, a desk at the doorway, a huge closet, and some reading materials. There was a book laid on the desk, a paragraph was circled red , it said"What did the sea do to say goodbye? Nothing, they just waved "Lana snickered a bit, but doesn't intended to read anymore personal business of Rita.

At the end of the hallway, there was a locked door, but it said, "Closed for renovations ".A mirror was beside the door, Lana looked at herself, the reflection was just as before, blond hair, empty front teeth, but with a ribbon tied in her hair. As energetic as Lana was,she decided to take a break in her room, the room was small enough for two children, in front of her was a toy box, which doesn't interest her at all, in a closet hung different colours of striped clothing, and below was different shoes in various sizes.

Lana yawned, tired from a day's adventure, got in the bed and slept. In her dream, there was froggit in a corner, the froggit stared at Lana as if she was someone familiar, her vision blurred, in front of Lana was a mirror, but instead of her own reflection, she saw someone else,different yet so alike, the reflection was wearing a tiara and a pink dress, which Lana would rather not wear in any occasion .The girl in the reflection was smiling, her face glowing red ,"Hello there mirror, "the pink girl said in a sadistic way. Lana wanted to protest that she looked nothing like her, but seeing that they were both blonds and at the approximately the same height, she decided to listen what this princess has to say. The girl continued "You know how these monsters treat you like a friend, like family, Well, your being too much of an idiot to realize that they are not what they seem".Lana gave her the silent treatment, but the pink girl refuse to take it, "oh, so this is what I get for telling you the truth? Well then, hear me out this one time. You'll never get home with your current attitude of kindness and friendship and whatnot, it's all about getting what you want, and now all you want is to get back up there, right? "Lana gave her a -_- face, the pink girl ignores her state and said"Never mind, you'll see what I mean by the end of your journey. "With that, she vanished.

When Lana woke up, she smelled a delicious sensation of chocolate cake, and saw a piece laid on the desk and a small fork beside, she took a small bite , but decided it would be best to save the rest for later. She decided to look for Rita, and thank her for the pie. She went out of the room, walked past the basement stairs, and into another room, in front of her was where there's a fireplace and an armchair on the left side, and a dinner table at the other corner. She went straight to the kitchen, and there laid normal equipments refrigerator to stove. The kitchen sink shone as if it was newly scrubbed, the stove looked untouched, Rita must've used fire magic for the baking. On the counter laid the pie, it's too intimidating for you to eat ?The comment was bit excessive, but she decided to be reasonable and leave it be.

Lana went back to the living room, and saw Rita on the armchair, she went to the fireplace, and felt pleasant warmth.Rita noticed Lana and explained that she was delighted to have her around ,wanted to show her favourite spot in the ruins, and admitted that she wanted to be a novelist, to write about the life of a caretaker in the ruins, but with small population and uninterested behaviour of reading nor writing in the ruins, she needed to put that dream aside for a while.

"Oh, did you want to ask something? "she questioned, Lana thought about living here in the ruins for the rest of her life, the idea bores her, but not to hurt Rita, she didn't complained and asked if she could read her something, "Anything for you child, "she responded, "How does 109 milk facts? Did you know that milk also reproduced cheese other than cream? Fascinating! "Lana turned from interested to slightly less interested ."Yeah, it is. "She replied.

Lana went back to her room, she tried to entertain herself by checking out the toys in the chest. But sadly, still nothing interest her at all. A few days passed, Rita was happy with Lana's company, they read books together,(Rita read them to Lana as she listened) ,they went to her favourite bug hunting spot ,in which was fine with Lana as she rolls in the mud full of worms and tried to eat them (and the dirt covering the insects) only to get stopped by Rita, "I know they are full of protein and nutrition, but it is safer for them to be properly boiled or cooked, all right? "Lana shrugged and said, "Yeah sure. "But took a sip of a worm anyways without Rita noticing.

More days passed, or maybe weeks, Lana lost count and there wasn't a calendar in the house. She was so bored she ventured the ruins multiple times and was getting pretty sick of the same scenario all over again. Finally, She mustured up her courage on asking Rita to let her go home, "What? "She replied with concern and a hint of fear, "Oh no sweetie, this is your home, you can't leave, it's dangerous out there ."she answered with hints of sadness. Lana refused to stay much longer ,being mundane was never her lifestyle, but she also doesn't want to have a collision with her, so she requested with much patience. With hours of pleading, Lana stayed determined ,but Rita was determined of Lana staying as well. "Wait here, there's something I need to do first ,"she fast paced to the entrance and down to the basement, leaving Lana confused yet it was clear what has to be done.

Lana followed her down, they were in a dark corridor, but bright enough to see. "Every kid who comes down here is met with the exact fate ,they come, they leave, they die. You naive little youngster, if you leave the ruins, you can never come back, so please, "she said deliberately, "GO TO YOUR ROOM , this is an order, do not even try to rebel against me. "Lana's head wanted to obliged the order, but her heart was reluctant, and her heart lead her deeper into the corridor. At a turn to the left, Rita warned her in a serious tone, " This is your last warning, if you go out there, they.... "She paused, "King Lynn senior... "She shuddered at the name, "will kill you. "Before Lana processed this whole scenario, The blond mother continued, "don't you see I'm just trying to protect you?Saving you from all those pain and misery in your way? so please, go back upstairs. "The mother continued forth, with Lana on her tail, feeling hesitant and determined at the same time. At last, they've reached a huge door as tall as the wall, and with the same symbol on Rita's dress.The blond mother was still facing the door, "Behind this door lies the way to the outside world, I will destroy it, so you can be safe ,so I can watch you grow up, .......so I would be lonely no more. "She said with tears filling up her eyes. Silence was everywhere, Lana could not comprehend the situation she was in, she only issue she understood was that Rita has been alone in the ruins for so long, and she would rather destroy the exit of the ruins than be alone for a few hundred more years.

Rita stayed calm in her position, understood that Lana would not be as easily convinced as thought, in so, another way had to be done. "If you want to leave so badly, there is only one way for you to do"Rita's expression darkens, "Prove yourself, prove to me that you are strong enough to survive the inevitable outcome ."Lana thought of ways to overcome this situation, but all her ideas were useless, and decided that the situation must be handed head on.

The room blackened, Lana's soul appeared in front of her chest, Rita blocked the way, flames were everywhere ,her stance was fixed yet fierce, and with that, the battle began. Rita started forming balls of fire around her and threw them at the soul while Lana sidesteped the attacks. When it's lana turn she uses ACT and tried to reason with her, but she doesn't listen nor took interest on what she said. The blond mother attacked again by using a tactic of an hourglass while Lana dodged them, but was struck with a fireball and was down to 14 hp. Despite the pain, Lana decided to use MERCY and spared toriel, "What are you doing?! "She exclaimed, "Fight me or leave! "Lana was surprised by her anger and anguish voice, but proceeded to do the same. Rita prepared a magical attack, the speed of the flames was getting ridiculously fast even for Lana, and her hp went down to 1."Attack or run away! "Rita ordered, but also looked aloof, when it's her turn to attack, the fire balls missed the soul intentionally, so Lana decided to take the chance, and spared her again. In the next turn, Rita was looking through Lana while aiming the fireballs at the wrong route, while Lana was still using MERCY to spare Rita, this scenario went on for so much time, and Rita was getting tired of using so much of her magic."Stop looking at me like that! "Rita said in distress, but Lana did nothing but proceed more MERCY. Rita looked more drained than before, and with Lana's last strength she drank the bug smoothie and her up was healed to 15. With Lana alleviated and Rita being so drained out of energy, Lana explained her reason of wanting to leave, not because of the hostility that was given nor was it because of the tedious scenario given over and over, but because she shouldn't stay so long for the people who worry for her so much. "I have to go, not because I don't want to stay, it's because I miss the outdoors, and there's NO MUD IN HERE! "Rita got pretty startled at the last part, "my point is, there are something we have to let go sometime, and even if I got back, I'll always come visit you mom. "The blond mother was stunned of Lana calling her mother, but was glad as well that she wouldn't forget her nor abandon her. "Well, if this is really what you want, "Rita said, "then, I won't stop you, I know we don't have much, but we could have a good life here, and maybe..... "She paused, "Ha... Ha....woeful, isn't it, I can't save even one of you, but...... "Lana felt a little guilt tripped,and Rita continued, "I understand, you would be unhappy trapped down here the Ruins is kinda small once you get to used to it, my expectation, fear, loneliness, for you sweetie, I'll put them aside for now. "The battle concluded.

The room was dark no more, Lana saw some tears clinging on Rita's eye, but above her chin was a great motherly smile. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry for what I've done, I never wanted this to happen again, but I can let you go and know that you will be safe the whole journey. "Lana started to smile, but when she was asked to never return, the smile faded. "You have to understand, this is for your own good, and so I won't have to look back and regret everything I have done to you. "She explained. Rita bend down on her knees and hugged Lana tightly as their last goodbye, when she was done, she went back the way they came, looking at Lana one last time, and left without a word.

Lana sent through the door, into a long corridor, went through another door and reached a patch of grass with a certain devil waiting outside.Lilian started smirking,and said,"He he he.. Poo poo(well well well lookie here, it's seems that you were able to go through your own rules afterall, but hear this, my little monarch. Don't you think you've won yet, you haven't kill anyone and spared the life of a single person, but what if you encounter a relentless killer? You'll die again and again! Would you kill them out of frustration? Or give up entirely on this world? And let ME have the power to control? I AM THIS WORLD'S FUTURE! So don't worry mud girl, my plan isn't regicide, this is much more interesting he he.) With that, the flower made an evil crackling laugh with an expression with the force of nature and disappeared under the earth.

Lana took no interest in the Lillian's plan and kept moving forward, when the door was opened, a bright light blinded her sight and a sudden cold air went through her, when her vision cleared, there was a forest and a snowny path in front, and her adventure was no even half done.

Just A Show

Characters: Jensen Ackles, Reader, Jared Padalecki, Kim Rhodes, Briana Buckmaster, Richard Speight Word Count: 3,460 Warnings: Smut adjacent, some language A/N: I wrote this for my Galentine’s Day gal, @babypieandwhiskey! This is the first time I’ve ever written RPF and I hope I did all of them justice! In this scenario, Jensen just never met Danneel. I love her dearly, so no hate towards that sweet lady. Thank you @spnfanficpond and @mrswhozeewhatsis for putting on a lovely day!

Beta’d by my sweet name twins, @pinknerdpanda and @amanda-teaches. I was so nervous and was second guessing everything, and it literally took until last minute to get it right, and it wouldn’t have happened without their encouragement. Also @wheresthekillswitch, because she was the first one that saw any of it and also pushed me the right way. I’d be lost. <3

As always, tags are at the bottom. If you’d like to be added, please let me know. Feedback is always appreciated!

“I thought I told you to stay here! What the hell was that, Lucy?”

“I was following a lead! Just because I’m new at this doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m doing. You never listen to me!”

He takes a step forward, his hands balled into fists at his side. “You’ve got it backwards, sweetheart, you never listen to me. I let Sam talk me into letting you tag along because we needed help with the trials. That was a bust, and you’re still around. If you plan on staying that way, quit ignoring my orders.”

She matches his step forward and glares up at him, “Your orders? Who the hell do you think you are, Winchester? You aren’t in charge of me. I don’t have to listen to you, and I don’t have to stay here. I don’t need you.”

“Fine! Leave! But when things go to hell and you’re alone and need help, don’t bother calling me!”

“Fine!” She shoves past him and throws the door open, only for it to be slammed back into place. A rough grip spins her around and she’s eye to eye with him. He leans forward, his lips barely grazing hers.

“Cut! That was great, you guys. For a second, I thought you might actually be mad at each other. Let’s take a break, we’ll pick up right after that, and then we’ll be done until the big scene this afternoon.”

Jensen nods, “Sounds good, Rich.” He takes a step back from Y/N and clears his throat, “He’s right, I really thought you might be mad at me for a second.”

“I guess having someone tell me what to do, fake or not, gets me a little heated,” she laughs, hoping he doesn’t notice how flushed she is from his earlier close proximity.

“Ha, heated is right. Thought you might punch me instead of kiss me. Glad it was the latter.” He looks at his watch, “We’ve got about fifteen minutes, I’m going to run to my trailer. See you back here?”

“Yep. Sure thing.”

He smiles, then walks away, leaving her standing alone. She watches him disappear around the corner, and then lets out a frustrated sigh.

“Lucy’s feelings for Dean turning into Y/N’s feelings for Jensen, huh?”

Y/N jumps at the sudden voice and turns around, glaring at the owner. “Jared, that’s ridiculous. He’s my friend, that’s all. It’s called acting.”

“Yea, okay,” he scoffs, “acting. That blush you got going on there,” he waves a hand towards her neck, “that’s not acting. And if it is, I’m just gonna go pick up your Oscar, have it ready for you by the time we all go out tonight.”

“Listen here, Padalecki, there’s nothing there. I just...got into it. That’s it. I’m sure he felt the same way about it.”

Jared laughs and rolls his eyes, “Yea, I’m sure he did. On that note, I’m heading to my trailer, I think I’m just about done for the day. Y’all have that big scene this afternoon, right?”

“You know we do. Quit looking at me like that.”

He grins as he turns to walk away, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. See you tonight.” He pulls his phone out as he walks away and begins quickly typing.

Dude. Where are you?

My trailer. Now.

He rolls his eyes and shoves his phone back in his pocket. The afternoon is about to get way more interesting.

Jensen paces back and forth in his trailer as Jared watches him, absentmindedly eating sour gummies as his friend frets.

“What happened today?”

“What do you mean?”

“I barely touched her, man, and it felt like...I don’t know. It felt different somehow. It didn’t feel like Dean and Lucy...it felt like us.”

“Well, Dean and Lucy don’t generally touch each other, Jay. I mean, up until this point, the characters don’t really get along all that well.” “Yea, and?”

“Aaaaand, what I’m saying is that you and Y/N do get along. So maybe instead of Dean kissing Lucy, it was you...kissing Y/N.”

“Oh, come on! That’s not...there’s no way...it’s Y/N. She’s one of my best friends, I don’t feel like that with her.”

“Then there’s not a problem. You go back, finish filming that scene, and get ready for this afternoon.”

“Shit, I forgot about this afternoon.” He stops pacing and runs his hands over his face, “What am I going to do?”

“Listen,” Jared leans forward and drops the container of candy on the table, brushing the sugar crystals from his hands on his jeans, “if you don’t feel that way about her, this afternoon will be fine, nothing to be worried about. And hell, even if you did feel that way about her, just use it to your advantage. It’ll look even more convincing.” Jensen glares at him and he throws his hands up, “I’m just saying. You do you. And maybe Y/N.”

“I might actually kill you.”

Jared stands up and shrugs, “You asked for my advice. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna take a nap in my trailer while you guys figure out your lives.”

“Thanks for not helping, asswipe.”

“You’re welcome, buttmunch.” He winks and leaves Jensen’s trailer, shutting the door behind him.

“What the hell am I supposed to do now?” Jensen groans, as he slumps into his chair. He glances at his watch and curses under his breath. “I guess I’m about to find out.”

“Alright, let’s pick it up from where we left off! I’d like to see that scene again. It was pretty convincing earlier, but that kiss needs more spark, more umph. Ready?”

Y/N and Jensen take their places and she can’t help but wonder how she’s supposed to look at him after her conversation with Jared. Could he be right?

“Action!”

“I thought I told you to stay here! What the hell was that, Lucy?”

“I was following a lead! Just because I’m new at this doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m doing. You never listen to me!”

He takes a step forward, his hands balled into fists at his side. “You’ve got it backwards, sweetheart, you never listen to me. I let Sam talk me into letting you tag along because we needed help with the trials. That was a bust, and you’re still around. If you plan on staying that way, quit ignoring my orders.”

She moves forward and glares up at him, “Your orders? Who the hell do you think you are, Winchester? You aren’t in charge of me. I don’t have to listen to you, and I don’t have to stay here. I don’t need you.”

“Fine! Leave! But when things go to hell and you’re alone and need help, don’t bother calling me!”

“Fine!” She shoves past him and throws the door open, and just like before, it’s slammed shut.  He spins her around to face him and their eyes lock, and she can’t help but notice how blown out his pupils are, the way he draws his bottom lip between his teeth. Suddenly Jensen’s hand is tangled in her hair and his lips are molded to hers. His free hand drifts down to her hip, and grips her hard, his fingertips grazing her bare midriff and sending chills down her spine.

Her arms go around his neck as he pushes her against the door, his teeth grazing her bottom lip. She has just enough time to trace his lip with her tongue before Rich interrupts.

“Cut! Wow, that was...well, a little more than I was asking for, but convincing! Nicely done, guys. Try to keep it in your pants this afternoon, though, it is just a scene in a show.” He winks and a low wave of laughter travels through the crew.

Jensen pulls back slowly and clears his throat, “Right, just a show.” He pulls his gaze away from Y/N and looks towards Rich. “It’s why they pay me the big bucks,” he says with a laugh before his gaze falls back on her. “Right, Y/N?”

She pushes away from him, her heart racing as she turns to leave the stage, “Yep, that’s it. Sign of a true actor, Jay. See you this afternoon.” This time, she leaves him alone, hurrying across the set. She turns the corner to go towards her trailer and runs straight into someone, nearly knocking both of them down.  

“Hey, where you hurrying off to?”

“Oh, hey Kim. Just going to my trailer, we’re done until this afternoon. What are you doing here? I didn’t think you were filming today.”

“Oh, I’m not. I swung by early to hang out until dinner tonight, met up with Briana for lunch. Done until this afternoon, huh? Ready for the big-”

“I know, I know, love scene. I’m ready. I’ve been ready. It’s just a scene, for Chrissakes, it’s not a big deal.”

Kim throws her hands up and raises her eyebrows, “Whoa, what crawled into your panties today, huh?”

Y/N sighs, “No one...nothing, it’s just everyone keeps bringing it up, like it’s a big deal. It’s not.”

“Methinks you doth protest too much.” She holds her arm out and loops it through Y/N’s. “This calls for girl time, no boys allowed. I’ll escort you to to your trailer, and maybe we can sort some shit out.”

Y/N smiles, “That sounds good to me.”

“Places, everyone!”

The set is mostly quiet, with only the necessary people standing at their stations. Y/N is standing quietly off to the side, her robe pulled tight against her as they put the finishing touches on the hotel room set.

“You ready?” She jumps at the sudden voice, smacking Jensen in the arm.

“Yea, I guess. You?”

He nods, “Yea, sure…listen, if any of this makes you uncomfortable, just let me know. These scenes can get weird, and I don’t want you having to do something you don’t want to do.”

Y/N laughs, “I’ve done sex scenes before, I think I’ll be fine. And who says I don’t want to do it?”

He shrugs, “I’m just letting you know. It can be awkward for friends to be put in these situations.”

“I think I can handle being in bed with you, Jensen.” The words are out of her mouth before she can stop them and he laughs.

“Oh, can you? We’ll see.” He winks as he walks towards the bed, handing his robe off to a PA. She can feel the heat blossoming across her chest and up her neck, and hopes that it’s not noticeable as she follows him.

She pulls hers off, too, and lays down, watching Jensen out of the corner of her eye. His eyes widen as he takes in her mostly naked form, and she stretches, settling into place as the last of the crew hustle to their stations. Jensen walks to the edge of the bed and pauses.

“What?”

“Nothing, just, you know…”

“I don’t know. What are you talking about?”

“You-“

“Alright, everyone set! Last big scene for the day, let’s make it a good one!”

“It’s just a show, remember?” she gently prods, watching as he frowns.

“Yea. Just a show.” He climbs into bed and positions himself over her, his hands on either side of her head. One of the assistants arranges the sheets to where it rests just at Jensen’s hips.

“Alright, you know what to do. We’ll do a few takes for different angles, and then we’ll call it quits for the day.” Rich takes a seat behind the monitor. “Action!”

Jensen dips down, brushing his lips against hers as he begins to move, his body rolling above hers. She lifts her head to meet him, crushing her lips to his, one hand gripping the short hairs at the nape of his neck.

He shifts his arms so that they are under her and lifts up, shifting so that he is on his haunches and she is balanced on his thighs. Deepening the kiss, he moves one hand up and cradles her neck, holding her tight against him. She rocks into him, dropping her head to the shoulder opposite of the camera.

“Jensen…”

It is a whisper, not loud enough to pick up anywhere, and he isn’t sure she even said it until she jerks back and looks at him, her eyes wide.

“Cut! Wow, you guys are...you’re really going for authentic today. Let’s reset and go again, try to keep your face on this side, Y/N. Otherwise, nailing it! No pun intended, ha!”

They reset, only this time Jensen slips in behind Y/N so that they’re both facing the camera. He props himself up on one elbow and lets his hand slip under her hair. Rich yells action, and Y/N’s eyes close as he brushes it from her neck, his lips trailing from just behind her ear and downward. His breath is warm against her cool skin, and she can feel the goosebumps popping up along her arms. She leans back, her head resting on his shoulder as he moves against her.

Suddenly he flips her onto her stomach, and she has to remember that they’re filming, that none of this is real. One hand smooths along her back and over her shoulder, then rests on her throat, just barely pulling back. She groans involuntarily, and he leans over her back, his lips brushing her ear, “It’s just a scene, remember?”

“Cut! You guys really delivered on that, I think we’ve got enough. Maybe go take some cold showers after that, I think most of the crew needs to.” A ripple of laughter echoes through the mostly empty sound stage and Jensen throws off the sheet, jumping off the bed a little faster than necessary. Y/N sits up and stares at him as he puts his robe back on, and he raises his eyebrows.

“What?”

“What was that?”

“What was what?”

She waves at the bed, agitation written on her face, “This?”

He shrugs, “I was acting, you said you could handle it.”

She opens her mouth to reply, then drops her gaze and grins, “Yea, well, I think I handled it a little better than you.” His eyes follow hers down and he yanks his robe shut. “I’ll see you at dinner, Ackles. Maybe you should take Rich’s advice and get that cold shower.” She hops off the bed and grabs her robe from one of the PAs, then disappears around the corner towards her trailer.

“Yea, well...you take a cold shower.” He grimaces at the bad comeback, blaming his time as Dean for ruining his good retorts. He heads towards his trailer, hoping to get this afternoon off his mind before the gathering tonight.

“You should sit next to Y/N.” Jared leans against the wall of the large party room at the restaurant while Jensen fixes himself a drink at the bar.

“We aren’t in high school. Leave it alone.”

“No, we aren’t, which is why you should be an adult and sit next to her.”

Jensen rolls his eyes as he takes a sip of beer, “You’re one to talk. Why are you pushing this so hard, anyway?”

“I heard about this afternoon. You can’t fake something like that. Look at me and Gen. You know I’m right.”

“There was something with you and Gen, though. This is totally different.”

“Oh, okay. Sure. Meeting on set, the sexual tension, totally different.”

“Shut up.”

“What are you boys whispering about over here?” Jared looks over to see Kim walking towards them, Briana in tow.

“Oh, just how Jensen likes Y/N and won’t admit it to himself.” He looks back to Jensen, “Was that an accurate answer?”

“I’m going to show you an accurate answer-”

“Oh, Jared, leave him alone. This isn’t high school, he doesn’t need someone to fight his battles. Right, Bri?”

“Right! We’re all adults here, and as an adult, Jay knows when to confront his emotions and be honest with himself and those he loves.”

“I hate all of you.”

“Why do you hate everyone?”

“Y/N! Oh, we’re just picking on him. He can dish it, but he sure can’t take it. Come on, love, let’s go sit down.” Kim grabs Y/N’s arm and pulls her away, and she looks back over her shoulder in confusion.

“Dude, talk to her,” Jared says as he claps him on the shoulder. “You’ll be better off if you do.”

He walks off to join the group and Jensen watches from a distance as Kim shuffles everyone around, leaving the only open seat next to Y/N.

“Seriously…” he mutters under his breath, slipping into the seat just as the waitress begins walking around the table to take orders.

“What’s wrong?” Y/N asks under her breath, taking a sip of water as she watches him from the corner of her eye.

“Nothing, just tired.”

“Hmm...right.” She puts in her drink order, then starts flipping through the menu, occasionally eyeing Jensen as he looks through his own. She feels a nudge from the left and looks over to see Kim raising her eyebrows at her, waggling them absurdly. “Stop it,” she hisses, eliciting a giggle from her friend.

“Stop what?” Jensen asks, looking at her quizzically.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I heard you say stop.”

She shakes her head, feigning innocence, “I didn’t say a word.”

“Huh, weird.” He goes back to looking at his menu and she sighs. She feels another nudge but opts to ignore it. Instead, she drops her hand under the table, takes a deep breath, and lets it land on Jensen’s knee.

He clears his throat and she can see him trying not to react to her hand as it slips past his knee and stops at his thigh. Another inch and his leg jerks, his knee slamming into the table, nearly knocking over the glasses and splashing water on the table. “Oh, God, sorry. Sorry.” He picks up his napkin and dabs at the offending puddles, then shoots a glare at Y/N. “I’ll be right back. Gonna run to the restroom.” He leaves the table, and Kim elbows Y/N.

“I don’t know what you did, kid, but good job.” Y/N turns and winks at her, then slowly stands up and pushes her chair in, her phone in hand.

“I’ll be right back, I just need to take this call.” Kim and Jared exchange a knowing look as Y/N slips out of the party room and down the hall to the main restaurant. Suddenly, she feels someone grab her arm, and she’s yanked into an adjoining hallway.

“What the hell was that?” Jensen almost looks mad, but she can’t tell how much of it is anger, and how much of it is whatever pent up feeling they both had.

“Someone had to make a move.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I know you heard me this afternoon.”

He thinks back to her whispered declaration, his name not Dean’s, “Yea, I did.”

“I didn’t want it to just be a scene...you know that, right?” He’s silent as he contemplates her, and she’s worried she should have left it alone. “If you don’t feel the same…”

She doesn’t get a chance to finish. His lips crash into hers and he presses her against the wall. This time, no one else is watching, there’s no camera rolling, it is just them and he takes advantage of it. He lets his fingers roam up the soft fabric of her dress, trace along the edge where cloth meets skin, then cups her breast gently as he runs his thumb over her nipple. She grinds against him, gasping when she feels his hardened length against her thigh.

“I don’t want it to just be a scene, either,” he says quietly, pushing hair from her face as he looks down at her.

“I’m...I’m glad. That’s good.” She is flustered, and he smiles as he takes in her flushed cheeks and how her chest moves as she tries to catch her breath.

“Do you still want to do dinner, or should we maybe leave? Because I’m not sure I can sit there next to you knowing what else we could be doing.”

“We can always order in,” she says with a twinkle in her eye, and he grabs her hand.

“I knew there was more than one reason I liked you.”

“What are the other reasons?”

“If we hurry, I can show you at least three reasons before the entree even arrives.”

Trick or Treat!

It's Halloween night, and Lucy is having fun passing candy out to trick-or-treaters, while Natsu is having fun teasing her! Naluween Week 2018 Day 3: Trick or Treat?, although it works for Day 2: Candy, too. Also on my ff.net account at https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13103808/1/Trick-or-Treat

Rating: K+ Genre: Humor/Romance Nalu

"Natsu, bring that back right now!"

Lucy watched with dismay as her boyfriend darted away from her with the bowl of candy he'd just snatched from the table. It was Halloween, and Lucy was trying to hand candy out to trick-or-treaters. This was probably the last year she could do it, as she would be moving into Natsu's house by the end of the month. It was so far out of Magnolia that it would hardly get any trick-or-treaters, so she was making this year count. She had bought whole king sized chocolate bars, popcorn balls, the big swirly lollipops, and so much more! She'd always loved Halloween, dressing up, seeing the children's costumes and the smiles on their faces when they received their prize. Of course, she'd always made kids do a trick for her, first. Whether they wanted to sing, show off some of the magic they might be learning, or dance, it was always good fun. She'd certainly miss it, but she and Natsu would find other ways to celebrate, she was certain.

Except Natsu was being just as troublesome as he'd always been on Halloween. He made it a habit to try and steal any candy she'd bought to give out on Halloween. He wanted all of the treats, and he was willing to resort to tricks to steal them.

"Natsu, those are for the kids! I told you, you can have whatever's left! Come on, do we have to do this every single year!?" She shouted to him, wherever he might've been hiding.

"But Lucy, you're always out by the end of the night and the only reason I ever get any of it is because I steal it! I want candy, too! Why do kids have to get it all!?"

"Because we can buy our own!" she told him, urging the conversation on and following his voice through the house.

"Yeah, but you won't let me!"

Ah-ha! Lucy thought as she spied Natsu hiding under the table, peeking out of it to watch for her, but facing the wrong way to see her. He'd made the mistake of putting the candy down behind him.

Praying to God that Natsu's dragon senses wouldn't hear her, Lucy snuck under and snatched the bowl before quickly darting back out at the last second.

"Ack! Lucy! Damn, how'd I not hear you!?" he laughed, getting up to chase after her again.

"Sorry, Natsu," Lucy laughed right back. "But this is for the children! The actual children, not the adult children like you! “C'mon, why don't you help me pass out candy?" As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Lucy opened the door to reveal three kids who couldn't have been more than ten.

"Trick or treat!" they shouted.

"Hello, everyone! So you've decided to visit the abode of the witch, yeah?" Lucy asked them in a fake scary voice followed by a witch's cackle. "Luckily for you," she told the giggling children, "I'm the sweet candy witch! Woooh! I've got lots of candy to give out, but first! You must do a trick!"

She looked at the first child, only just now paying attention to their costumes. "A ballerina, eh? Can I see a pirouette?" The girl grinned, stood on her tiptoes, and twirled proudly, even if she did nearly fall at the end of it. Lucy clapped and rewarded her with a popcorn ball.

"A pirate, now? Argh! Why don't ya show me some of the booty ye've collected tonight, Matey?" The kids all giggled at Lucy's terrible pirate accent, and she could hear Natsu laugh, as well, as he came up behind her to watch. He really did like kids and Halloween both. He could see why Lucy loved handing candy out, especially when he saw the third child's costume that Lucy hadn't seemed to notice yet. It put a grin of pride on Natsu's face.

Lucy finished placing a candy bar in the pirate's bucket and looked at the last kid in the bunch. She burst out laughing, although the kid was too busy staring at Natsu in awe to notice.

"Someone's got an admirer," Lucy commented to her boyfriend, gesturing towards the boy obviously dressed up as Natsu. It reminded her a bit of Romeo when he'd been a little boy.

"Hey there!" Natsu greeted, kneeling down next to the boy. "Can I see a trick, now? Know any magic?" The boy blushed bashfully before holding up his hand and forming a tiny ball of fire that could've barely lit a candle on a birthday cake. "Wow, great job!" Natsu told him, making the child grin with glee and the flame grow just a bit in both size and brightness. "Just keep practicing, okay? You've gotta practice magic lots if you wanna be a powerful wizard!" Natsu reached towards Lucy, who handed him another chocolate bar. "Hey, I'll give you a treat, but I want one, too! Make another fireball, I wanna try it!" The boy's eyes lit up with excitement, just as Natsu predicted they would. Up close and personal, this kid was gonna get to see his hero eat a fireball that he himself had made! The boy made another bit of fire and reached it up towards Natsu, who ate it right out of the kid's hand, causing them all to giggle and shriek once again. "Mmm... tastes good! Nice and sweet, with just a tang of spice!"

"Hey, are you kids coming?" a mom-ish voice called from down the hall.

"Mommy, Mommy! Natsu the Salamander was there!" the boy shouted eagerly, running towards his mother with his candy bucket and his friends in tow. "He said my fire tasted good!"

Natsu and Lucy laughed again before closing the door.

"Well there's something to inflate your ego," Lucy commented with a smirk.

"Me? Never."

"Oh, yeah right, Natsu. You have that huge smirk on your face. I know you're thinking about how great you are."

"So you admit it, I am great!" Natsu said with a snicker. Lucy rolled her eyes. "Yes, I'm great! I'm sweet, and awesome, and cool, and I'm a hero!" Lucy just slapped his shoulder playfully before turning towards the kitchen to get some water. Natsu snuck up behind her and hugged her. "But I think something else is even sweeter than me..."

"Oh yeah?" Lucy asked as he goaded her lips into a kiss. Lucy melted into it. She didn't know how Natsu did it, but every time he kissed her made her feel dizzy and overwhelmingly in love.

"Yeah," Natsu whispered against her lips. He reached towards her stomach...

...which is where I’m holding the bowl of candy, she realized too late.

Natsu grabbed several of the chocolate bars in one swipe while he had her distracted and suddenly darted away from her again, snickering and grinning all the way.

"NATSU!"

Family Reunion

Summary: Jacinda's thoughts on Henry going missing and extended scene of Henry's reunion with Jacinda and Lucy at Jacinda's/Sabine's apartment. Glass Believer fluff. Family fluff. Light Believer fluff. Sabine/Jacinda friendship.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jacinda's P.O.V

Today was one of the longest days of my life. It started out simple enough; working with Sabine to make breakfast for Lucy and getting ready for the day, but normal took a turn after I spoke with Detective Rogers. Finding out that Henry was missing terrified me more than I could have imagined. It took all of my will power to not imagine the worst possible scenario. Which was easier said than done. Thoughts of Henry hurt or, God forbid, worse, kept coming to mind. If it hadn't been for Sabine the worry alone would have torn me apart. I spent the afternoon in the apartment with Lucy and Sabine. I was relieved that Lucy was close to me. Knowing that Nick was somehow involved in Henry's disappearance was unsettling. How could I not have known that something was off about Nick?

"J. Can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Sabine pulled me off the couch and into the kitchen. "Alright. Spill."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Uh uh. Nice try. I know you and I know that you're stressing about something. So come on. Spill."

Damnit. Sabine knew me too well. I lowered my voice. "I spoke to Detective Rogers this morning. He told me Henry never got on the flight to New York."

"What?"

"They found Henry's car abandoned with a flat tire. The airline said he never boarded the plane."

"But Henry texted you this morning. I was right next to you. I saw the text myself."

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and handed it to Sabine. "Read the text again. Have you ever known Henry to call me 'J'?"

"No. The only people who call you that are me and... Nick. Wait? Is Nick somehow involved in all this?"

"I don't know what to think, Sabine," I said. "Henry is missing and Nick is sending fake texts from Henry's phone. What if Henry is...? What if he...?" I could feel the panic starting to set in. The room blurred out of focus and thoughts of Henry wounded clouded my mind. Sabine took hold of my hands and got me to look at her.

"Hey. Hey. Breathe. There's no need to imagine the worst case scenario. This is what we're going to do. You're going to go back to the living room and sit on that couch with Lucy. I am going to put some hot cocoa on the stove and we're going to listen to Lucy talk about her latest school project. We're going to wait for Rogers to call. Okay?"

My breathing evened out and the room came back into focus. "Yeah. Okay. That sounds good."

And thats how I spent the next hour. Sitting on the couch with Sabine and Lucy sitting between us. I drank cocoa and tried to not let my anxiety take over. Finally, my phone rang. Detective Rogers' name and number flashed on my phone screen. I stepped into the take the call. When it ended, I called Sabine into the kitchen.

"Was that Detective Rogers?" She asked what did he say?"

"Rogers found Henry," I took a deep breath. "He was tied up in Nick's apartment."

"Oh my god. Is Henry alright?"

"Detective Rogers said that Henry is fine. They have Nick in custody."

"Thank god," Sabine sighed in relief. "Did Rogers say why Nick kidnapped Henry?"

"Nick is...the Candy Killer and Henry found out."

"Hold on. Are you telling me that Writer Boy was held hostage by a serial killer who also happens to be your ex?"

"Yeah. Oh my God! I didn't even think about that. I brought Nick back into our lives."

"Stop," Sabine said. "I know that you're about to start blaming yourself. You couldn't have known. Come on. Let's go sit back down. I've got a feeling we'll be hearing from Henry soon."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sabine was right. About half an hour later there was a knock at the door. I nearly ran to the door to answer it.

"Henry." I was beyond relieved to see him. I pulled Henry into the apartment, closed the door behind him, and hugged him. Thank goodness he was here and safe. I never wanted to let him go.

"You're okay?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Listen..."

"I knew you would be back!" Lucy charged in from the living room and ran straight into Henry's arms. Henry let me go to return Lucy's hug. They smiled at each other with such ease. I couldn't explain it, but it was as if Lucy had known Henry her whole life. There was a bond between them.

"Looks like I'm putting another cup of cocoa on the stove," Sabine said. "Unless you're still trying to make that interview?"

I held my breathe and hoped with all my heart that Henry would choose us.

"You know," Henry said."I don't think that job's for me."

Henry pulled Lucy and I in for a group hug. Something in my heart told me that this was the way it was supposed to be. Lucy, Henry, and I together as a family. Lucy dragged Henry to the couch and talked his ear off about a short story that she wrote for school.

"I'm going to be a writer. Just like you, Henry."

"Lucy, you will be a better writer than I ever was."

For the next few hours, the four of us sat together, drinking cocoa with cinnamon, and listening to the stories of adventure and magic that Lucy would someday write. Eventually, the late hour took its toll on Lucy and the little girl fell asleep against Henry.

"Jacinda," Henry said. "Would you mind if I put Lucy to bed."

"Not at all. I'll show you to her room."

Henry carried Lucy and followed me to her room. I pulled back the sheets and Henry set Lucy down on the bed. He pulled the sheets up after I Lucy's shoes off. I marvelled at how easily Henry and I worked together. It was as if tucking Lucy into bed was something we had done a hundred times before. I kissed Lucy's forehead goodnight and Henry did, as well. I left the room, but Henry didn't follow me out. Instead, he leaned against the door frame and looked at Lucy as if she were his whole world.

"Henry? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, uh, it's just," Henry trailed off. "Lucy is an incredible kid."

"She really is." I sighed.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's nothing."

"You know that you can talk to me, right? About anything."

"I do." It was so easy to say those two words to Henry. "I don't know how to tell Lucy about Nick. I thought having her father in her life would be good for Lucy, but I never expected Nick to be..."

"None of us did. And hey, Lucy is going to be just fine. She's got the most incredible mom in the world. She has Sabine, who would rather tear her eyes out than see anything bad happen to Lucy. That little girl is going to be fine."

"And she has you? Henry, I don't know where we stand or where we go from here, but I know that you're important to Lucy. She loves you and I want you to always be a part of her life."

"I love Lucy, too. And nothing would make me happier than to be part of her life."

I smiled up at Henry and he smiled back at me. Why did his eyes look so familiar? I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his waist. My head fell against his chest and I felt his arms wrap around me. I felt at home here in Henry's embrace. I didn't understand why, but I know that I never wanted to be apart from Henry.

29 Neibolt ST (Monster Roommate AU)

Alright I’m just going to start posting this anyway since I have so much of it already written. This is my first venture into writing so go easy on me. Im normally an artist not a writer. I’ll intro my OC too she’s a grungey stoner girl going through some big changes. Those changes being that she’s slowly turning into a nosferatu style vampire. She “Dropped out” of bartending school, dumped her abusive ex and moved to Maine where she found out that every monster in the world had the same idea. Eventually she moves in with everyones favorite clown and feelings start to happen. This chapter is just intros really smut and romance is coming. Mostly a parody humor fic with horror and romance thrown in. There is lots of gore, NSFW, drug use, alcohol, death, swearing, and violence. So you’ve been warned. Chapter 1 The Contract She had been there for a month now. Somehow she was still alive, and living amongst monsters. “You know…It’s not that bad mom, the house is a bit old but it’s charming you get used to it after awhile.” as she says this a chunk of the Old Well House’s ceiling falls onto the ancient dining room table. She flinches a natural reaction left over from humanity’s days as a prey animal but she recovers quickly mostly unfazed. “Visit? Oooooh no, no, thats not a great idea. Roommates are a bit quirky you wouldn't like them.” she said into the phone. Quirky was a massive understatement. She opened the fridge and let out a groan of frustration at the severed head and arm sitting on top of her tupperware. “that son of a bitch” she whispered “Hey mom call you back, kitchen trouble. Love ya.” she hung up the phone and shouted “ALRIGHT WHO’S IS THIS?!” her voice echoed through out the old decaying house. She was met by heavy breathing and guttural grunting the kind you would hear in a horror movie sound clip. She turned to the doorway towards the owner of the sound, a hulking behemoth donning a butchers apron. He’s covered in old blood soaked handprints and his signature mask made of the leather from a human face. “What the hell Leatherface you have your own fucking fridge for this shit” she stated unafraid. Now one would be wondering at this point why is this girl so relaxed? Why has she not died of a heart attack or been murdered by these horrible housemates. This clearly wasn't your average college drop out living situation, not by a long shot. No my friend, this is the story of a human who literally lived with her monsters and in the process became one herself. But the only thing you need to know right now dear reader, is that Lucy Smith never turned down a good deal.  It all started when she wanted to get out of the city. Adam and our dear Lucy had just broken up after being her high school sweetheart and boyfriend for 5 long years. It happened at the end her second to last year of college, he had become an absolute monster and she was done with his shit. Lucy wanted to get away. Away from everything that reminded her of him and the life they had shared together. “I’ll go to the other side of the country,” she thought “as far as possible I’ll go to fucking Maine.”   When she found the house it looked abandoned. “Fucking hell this must be a fake ad or something. No way this place is inhabitable.” she groaned but there was a small sign in the window of the house on Neibolt Street that read “Room for Rent” in badly drawn red ink. “Wellp I got nothing to lose anyway, either I die via whatever serial killer is squatting here or the drinking will get me later.” She had next to nothing other than a car, her belongings and enough money for three months worth of rent. This really was her only option. As she walked by the sun flowers haphazardly planted in the front yard in some sad attempt to make the house look pleasant, the front door creaked open on its own. “Yeah I’m definitely going to get murdered.” she mumbled. Lucy stepped cautiously in the doorway “Um hello? I’m here about the room?” something scuttled on the floor above her, it sounded like the pitter patter of children’s feet. Lucy’s heart began to pound her blue eyes wide now and her senses heightened. “Anyone?” she called out into the decrepit house. Lucy made her way to the window and picked up the for rent sign clutching it tightly to her chest. She was an avid horror fan, and she was no idiot. This house screamed ghost murderer she began to step further into the house when suddenly the door slammed shut. “FUCK” she shouted trying to pry it back open but it wouldn't budge “ALRIGHT ASSHOLE” she yelled “I’m fucking done with this game! You going to discuss the room with me or not?!” a door in a different room had creaked open and Lucy could have sworn she heard the faint sound of bells. “This isn't funny bitch” she yelled nervously searching for an exit “be brave be brave be brave” she whispered to herself. Down the hall she heard footsteps from something large they seemed to be dragging across the floor. Fucking hide you idiot her brain told her she quickly and silently bolted to the kitchen, almost on the verge of tears now cursing herself for even getting into this situation. She frantically searched the room for something to hide in and a half open cabinet caught her eye. She made a dash for it when she hear the jingle again this time louder and coming form the basement of the Well-house. She reached for the rotting door and screamed when something grey and furry leapt out at her. It smelled almost dead and its eyes were lifeless and faded. The creature was a very pissed off dirty grey cat. “Holy shit little guy” she managed to say. The cat darted off into the house and Lucy let her guard down slightly breathing a sigh of relief, only to turn around to meet a twisted smile with long fangs and glowing yellow eyes. Suddenly the demon clown shot a gloved claw out around her throat. Lucy passed out from sheer terror, dropping the for rent sign on the ground next to her.  ___________ Lucy awoke to voices, they were twisted and clearly agitated. Their tones were enough to make someones skin crawl. Her thoughts were foggy and her head ached from hitting it on her way down. She moved to rub it but she found she was tied to a chair, she thrashed a bit in a sad attempt to escape. the girl knew knew it wouldn't work. She was frail and malnourished looking, a text book punk kid in flannel and a stupid t-shirt that had a skeleton hand holding up the cliche devil horns. She wasn't getting out of this. The voices began to sound clearer now she had yet to open her eyes but she could hear what the owners were saying. “We can’t just kill her we need the money.” “She’s fucking human Tiff, just let the clown and the big guy fight over her meat!” “We’re about to lose the house babe! This is the best place we've had in years!”   “You know the rules no regular humans allowed in our society.” “Leatherface is human!” “PFF barely,” “Will you two PLEASE stop bickering for 5 seconds!” “Oh you wanna finally join us Jingles? Because you've been sitting there drooling for the past five minutes while we've been trying to figure out what to do about YOUR house.” “DO NOT CALL ME JINGLES, DOLL!!!” Lucy opened her eyes, light stung them at first and her vision adjusted. She gurgled out a moan of pain and the room suddenly went silent. Across from her were two dolls one a pretty blonde girl doll with dark makeup the other a boy haphazardly stitched together in a terrifying way. “What the fuck” she mumbled turning to look behind her, she heard heavy breathing that coming out so deep they almost sounded like moans. The monster towered over her and most horrifying of all he wore the skinned face of a dead woman. Lucy quickly turned away to finally find the other inhabitant pouting in the corner, the evil clown from earlier. He was tall, lanky and had a giant forehead with fluffy orange hair twisting around like cotton candy. The clown was staring right at her with a terrifying hunger in his eyes, like he could smell her fear from across the room. She tried to soak it all in. This isn't happening this isn't real. Oh god I'm going to die here she thought. Then, something deep within Lucy’s mind snapped. She began to laugh. Her laughter was a mix of hysteria and horror it was insane and manic. “Wellp I’ve finally lost it.” she thought to herself as her cackling died down. The monstrous flatmates stared at her slightly confused by her reaction.  “Well that the first time I’ve made that kind of impression. Thought makin' them laugh was your thing jingles.” the boy doll mused The clown let off an inhuman warning growl and the doll grinned wickedly. “Y-youre all r-real.” Lucy stuttered starting to slip into insanity. “Careful who you say isn't real around here toots, Jingles over there tends to get real triggered about that subject” the male doll quipped “Are you done insulting me yet? You disgusting excuse for a child’s toy.” the clown hissed “Not on your life chucklefuck.” “Chucky! Can we please focus on the girl!” the dolls female counterpart snapped “Sorry pumpkin, they've been having a bit of a dispute ever since the clown left a huge pile of drool outside the fridge yesterday morning” she turned to Lucy who now was a mix of terrified and utterly confused. “I was very hungry and couldn't decide what to eat!” the clown pouted “YOU HAVE AN ENTIRE PANTRY FULL OF DEAD CHILDREN IN THE SEWER DO YOU EVEN NEED TO EAT ANYTHING ELSE?” Chucky shouted back at him. “Wow that hurt. I don't just eat children you know” the clown mocked being struck in the heart followed by a sharp glare. The silent behemoth behind Lucy had decided enough was enough and banged on the counter next to him. All in the room went quiet. The female doll sighed “Well if you two are going to be children about this I’ll make the decision for us. Alright look hun. We’re in a bit of a pickle and we need an extra roommate or Penny here is going to lose the house. Then well all be shit outta luck, especially you sweetheart. So I’m givin ya two options” she looked at the grumpy killer clown who huffed and finally nodded giving the female doll permission “One, you take the room. You will live here as the fake owner so the town doesn't try to reclaim the house and tear it down. Or two…. you die.”  “And if I don’t want either?” Lucy questioned giving in completely to this new terrifying situation she was in. All the inhabitants in the room smiled wickedly. The clown stepped forward and grabbed Lucy’s chin forcing her to look into his golden predatory eyes, they were slightly out of alignment as if he was barely managing to keep control of himself  “You can try to run kitten, but in a house full of monsters” he grinned his smile sadistic with a sprinkling of insanity “I promise you wont get far.” he inhaled sharply as if sniffing a freshly cooked meal before taking a bite. Lucy swallowed her fear and insanity pushing it down deep within her. “I’m a fucking survivor and I’m not going to die in some rotting haunted house.” She thought to herself. The clown growled and shoved her face back roughly as if offended by her sudden burst of bravery. “How much is rent?” she stated cool and suddenly collected.She wasn't really but the girl was no stranger to putting on a brave face. The group turned to the clown who was suddenly put on the spot “….$450” “Fuck that. Does this crackhouse even have running water?” she spat. “Watch your filthy little mouth!” the clown growled. She had obviously hit a very sore spot. A weakness she smirked. “$300” she haggled.  “Just for that remark, five” the clown sneered in her face again, he was so close she could feel his breath on her nose. “You cant go up you fucker” “How much is your life worth to you little human” “About 300 bucks a month, clown.” “Four.. not including utilities” he smiled like the devil himself. She broke. “Look if you don’t kill me then my ex probably will. Im dead either way. Probably safer with a bunch of monsters than with that psycho, so $350 with utilities and I wont call the cops and make sure people stay away from your place. You all obviously want to remain here in secret so I keep my mouth shut about what you are and you give me a cheap place to live and start over. I honestly don't give a shit if I'm living with demon dolls and cannibals. I just want freedom from my old shitty life and my old shitty ex.” she stared back into the clowns eyes in pure defiance. Blue and gold bore into each other in some unseen battle. Few have ever done this to him before and were allowed to live. Finally the clown broke the stare he was a bit thrown off. “I’m not a cannibal I'm not even human you disgusting Leech.” he mumbled. Clearly the demon clown had a pride issue. “Wait call the cops? Ah shit Chucky you forgot to take her phone???” the Tiffany yelled at the male doll. “You didn't fucking tell me too! I thought we were going to kill her like we do with all the humans that wander in here!! Didn't see the fucking need but apparently were all going soft because Buck Tooth McForehead over here is worried about foreclosure!” “You idiot! You never listen to me!!!!” she screamed and lunged at him.  The clown rolled his eyes at them, apparently this happened a lot. “Can you guys please take this to the bedroom, since I know where this is going and I really don't want walk in to find you making up on my sofa again.” Leatherface who had been mostly silent had moaned and covered his eyes clearly grossed out at the thought. “FINE were leaving! Tell us when you two kids make a damn deal instead of eye fucking each other for hours” Chucky shouted from the floor his wife’s hands around his neck. “Ew what the hell man we weren’t…” Lucy began but was cut off by an eruption of anger from the clown. “GET OUT.” the clown roared.They stood up and Chucky took his wife’s hand in his and Tiffany gave Lucy a wink as she left. “what the hell was that-“ Lucy started. “Ignore them” the clown interrupted once again. “Ok but like what did he mean by-“ “Ignore them” She turned her attention again to the tall murderous, inhuman apparently, clown. Who was clearly extremely annoyed with the whole situation. “So we have a deal clown?” “Pennywise” the clown said. “PennyWhat?” “I have a name and its Pennywise… The dancing clown.” “You dance?” “Not the point.” “Can I see?” “No.” “I thought clowns liked to preform.” “Are you finished?” “Maybe.” Lucy fired back at him.  The clown was not used to this amount of sass from such a small frail looking thing. She could certainly run her mouth. It reminded him of a very specific boy that had smacked him in the head with a baseball bat all those years ago. He knew he was going to hate this human, but he had little to no choice in this. The Well-house was apart of him and desperate times call for desperate measures. He decided to wait to kill her when she tries to move out. It'll happen eventually anyway, after all this human will be living amongst monsters, horrible abominations true living nightmares! No normal sane human would be able to last long in this situation. And then he will enjoy feasting on this small thing’s flesh. Biting into her pale skin hearing her cry out in fear when he turns on her. Oh yes her sweet, delicious, beautiful fear. He'd inhale her scent and burry his nose into her bleeding flesh licking the wound in her neck. Those big blue eyes wide in terror as the filthy leech rose up finally floating. Her short platinum hair swirling around her frozen face. Beautiful, intoxicating, delicious, alluring, all mine, mine, mine, MINE- he woke himself from his trance his eyes had drifted apart and he was drooling immensely. She was staring at him waiting for him to say something. He mentally cursed himself for those strange thoughts that had just drifted through his head. “You uh…. you ok there? It looks like you left earth there for a bit”   The clown sighed and growled more turning to his giant flatmate. “Untie her and bring me some ink Leatherface, lets just get this over with” Pennywise said exhausted. The giant equally concerned and confused grabbed a knife off the kitchen wall and cut her free. Lucy’s first instinct was to run but she glued herself into the reality of her situation. The behemoth walked over to her still holding the knife and she suddenly felt the fear come back. What if the clown had lied? The giant grabbed her hand roughly. Shit she began to panic as he pressed the blade into her hand and cut. Pennywise was now sporting a devilish grin seeing his flatmate to be squirm and whimper under the blade. He suddenly had an old looking contract and a quill in his hand which he laid out on the table in front of her “Read it and sign it Leech” he sneered “Really? Im signing it in blood? Really?” “You’re being difficult and childish just sign the damn paper.” “Why do you keep calling me Leech anyway?” “Because you're sucking me dry with this $350 a month deal, sign the paper.” “Do I get to at least remodel my room?” “SIGN THE PAPER” “Bite me clown. I want to know the fine details.” “Careful what you wish for little Leech it just might come true.” he muttered. “That a threat Penny?” she fired backThe clown glared at the nickname. “You know, you’re cute when you're mad” she chuckled reading the document. “Interesting requirements you got here. Don’t know what the hell this whole community council thing is and all these weird secrets but eh its cheap living can’t complain.” she dabbed the pen on her open wound and scribbled her name on the line.  “Congratulations were flatmates.” the clown growled snatching the paper and walked off towards the basement. Lucy turned to Leatherface and chuckled. “I like him, he’s fun. So you guys gonna take me on the grand tour?” the giant still very confused with the whole situation nodded silently and Lucy followed him out. She didn't quite know what she just agreed to and this definitely wasn't the change she had in mind. All she knew was that she had wished for a new start and she sure as hell was getting one.

Please please please tell me your thoughts and ideas :)

It was Saturday, and according to to the discussion she had with Maya, Riley was allowed to arrive a bit later because of her date with Lucas and Lucy. So she walks inside the café just half an hour later than usual because she didn't want to feel like she was less responsible for just one date, and because she was sure that Maya had only told her to get to work late in hopes that something would happen on the date.

Riley looks around and sees Maya behind the counter working like usual and not giving her even a glance but placing her customary cup of coffee on the counter. In front of the blonde woman, there was Josh sipping coffee from a mug and at Maya's side was Tom. 

This was too suspicious.

"Hi," Riley greets the three of them and smiles at Mrs. Smith as she passes her. Mrs. Smith was one old lady that was part of their faithful clientele.

"Oh, hi," Maya smiles and ignores her after that, returning to work. Josh and Tom do the same thing.

"Um," Riley mumbles a little surprised. She was expecting the Inquisition this morning, all kinds of questions, proper or not, about her date, but nothing.

"Hey, Josh, how's work?" She asks her uncle. 

Josh shrugs his shoulders “it’s good, I am currently working on a novel, though.” 

"Well hopefully it takes off," Riley responds and soon she moves towards her safe place in the kitchen.

She walks inside her pristine workplace and grins. She loves the smell of sugar, cream, vanilla, chocolate and everything else combined with the warmth from the ovens. 

She quickly ties her apron around her waist, and she prepares to bake a coffee cake, but something was bothering her. In reality, she couldn't believe that her friends weren't curious about the date. They were always nosy and she complained sometimes, but did this mean that they didn't care? What if they thought she wasn't interesting? Or that nothing exciting had happened? Worse, what if they forgot she had a date with Lucas? Could that be possible?

"Okay, what's going on? Aren't you going to ask me about last night?" Riley blurts out as soon as she steps out of the kitchen and her friends look at her with wide eyes. "Because if you were my friends, you'd be interested in what happened, at least I ask about your dates Tom or the fact that Josh and Maya both like each other, but you two won’t admit it.” Maya smiles wickedly ignoring the thing about Josh, and so does Tom and Josh.

"I knew it!" Maya squeals. "You liked it, didn't you? You're dying for us to ask you because you want to tell us how good it was. You want to rub your date in our noses."

"Oh, if he took off his shirt, it was a late Christmas present and I want details," Tom chips in and Riley gapes at them.

"Did you kiss? Did you wear that sexy black dress?” Maya teases her and Riley’s eyes travel from face to face and she sighs.

"That's more like it," she grins. "Maya, I don't want to rub my date in your face, but I need to talk about it and you know how I work. I always talk about everything," Maya snickers. "Tom, no, he didn't take his shirt off, but he looked great and he was wonderful with the dinner and everything and Lucy is just a sweetheart that comes as a bonus with him." Tom and Josh smile sweetly at her. "And No!" Riley screeches. "His daughter was also present, and nothing was going to happen.” 

"Oh, come on, tell the truth, he's smoking," Tom prods and Maya nods while chuckling, while Josh just sighs but listens in as well.  Riley hesitates and exhales heavily, "He's not smoking," all of them frown, because really? The man is built like a Greek god. "He's so hot; he could melt snow with his gaze. He's eye candy and yes, Tom, I wanted to unwrap him," she giggles and covers her face with embarrassment while her friends burst into a fit of laughter. Riley can't believe what has come over her. 

"Wow, so you really like this Lucas guy, huh?" Tom smirks. "We definitely need more details now."

"No, no." Riley shakes her head. "It was only to inform you that it had gone well and he and his daughter were lovely and perfect. She's such a sweet little girl, just adorable."

"But?" Maya arches an eyebrow.

"No, buts," Riley bites her lower lip and Maya sighs.

"Riley Marie Matthews, you better tell me what's going on and why you look like you're hiding something from us,” the blonde woman demands with her hand on her hips and gives her friend her a menacing look.

"I – is it wrong that… that I want a date just with him now? Just the two of us? I mean, I love Lucy and I had a very good time, but there are things that you can't say or do around a child. I don't want to traumatize her if I say something wrong and I don't want to seem rude and tell Lucas that I want to go out with him alone." Riley looks down at her feet and pauses for a few seconds. "What if he doesn't want to go out with me alone? What if he asked me out just because Lucy likes me and not because he does? I don't want to ruin this, but I need to know him better, and I think we need a date, one that's just about the two of us, but I don't want to hurt Lucy’s feelings or feel his rejection." Riley takes a shaky breath.

"Riles, he likes you, believe me," Josh smiles. "He thought a lot about the date and he was pretty nervous about it, and no man goes through so much trouble just because he wants a new babysitter. You should ask him on a date." He finishes, and Riley widens her eyes.

"I should—No! What? No! He's going to think that I'm desperate or that I'm needy. Besides, it doesn't fit into my new philosophy," Riley replies, going from nervousness to a fake calm.

"Ugh! That thing that destiny will send you a man? Riles, Lucas came here, twice! What do you want? That destiny knocks on your head and tells you:  Hey, dummy! This is the guy, do something?" Maya bellows and Riley just stares at her.

"You can't say that to me. I haven't dated in a long time, almost two years, and I don't feel comfortable about it." Riley takes a mouthful of air, feeling a bit like a coward and defeated about this particular weakness. She is an independent woman, but she was insecure about dating now. "Please. Just understand. I need time." She murmurs and walks back inside the kitchen.

Maya sighs and Josh and Tom stare at her. All of them were wearing soft looks now. Riley was nervous about this man, Lucas, and that only proves how much she likes him, how badly she wanted a second date, alone. They had to do something.

"What are we going to do with her?" Tom asks with an amused expression on his face. 

“ I don’t know, but we need to make sure that Lucas’s intentions are right.” Maya looks at Josh, and he stands up grinning. 

“I got this.” He quickly kisses Maya on the cheek before walking out the door leaving a blushing Maya and a grinning Tom. 

“Maybe it’s not only Riley with romance going on at the moment.”  Maya glares at him before walking into the art gallery section leaving a chuckling Tom.

Zay rubs his eyes with his fists and struts towards the door of his apartment, hearing the knock on the door again.

"Shit," he mutters under his breath. It was too early for a Saturday morning, and he knew that Josh was coming to talk about Lucas’s date and how they'd play it to meddle (because they did, no matter what they said). He flings the door open, and Josh smirks.

"Howdy," Josh snickers and Zay glares at him.

"Dude," he drawls and scratches his belly lazily. He was wearing just pajama bottoms, and his face looked like the pillow was still attached to his head. Then he looks at Josh and takes in his clothes. "Are you wearing the same clothes that you wore yesterday?"

"I had no clean clothes.” Josh invites himself in and walks past Zay, who shut the door and rolled his eyes. 

“Dude.”

“Fine, I slept at Maya’s last night.” 

Zay’s eyes nearly fall out of his head “WHAT?”

“Maya found a big spider in her kitchen, and she needed someone to kill it, and then we watched a movie and fell asleep.” 

Zay smirks as they walk into the lounge “Dude you didn’t have to stay.” 

"Whatever, So, do you want to know about Lucas and Riley?" Josh asks as he sits down on an armchair and Zay sprawls on the couch.

“Riles is completely smitten with them both, and by how much Lucas was freaking out at work he was smitten with Riley.” 

Zay claps his hand gleefully “Did they kiss?” 

“Dude no! Lucy was there remember.” 

Zay looks disappointed “Oh yeah. Well, are the going on another date?” Josh hesitates, and Zay narrows his eyes “What?” 

“Riley is freaking out that it was only a one-time thing, and that it was because of Lucy. She wants to go on another date with just Lucas, but she doesn’t know how.” 

“Well, Lucas does think she is only going to date him because of Lucy,” Zay admits. 

“We need to get those two on a single date without Lucy; those two need to take a chance,” Josh muses and Zay nods in agreement. After discussing it for a while, they had a plan and quickly set off to Lucas’s. 

Josh and Maya would work on Riley while Zay would take care of Lucas and it was a relief, because despite Josh knowing Lucas well, Zay and Lucas had known each other since middle school, so there was a lot of baggage between them and some inside jokes that he still didn't get. He was aware that he was more naïve than they were, a bit sweeter, and that was why Lucas trusted him with Lucy when he had dates.

He just hoped things kept going smoothly because both Lucas and Riley needed this.

Lucy wakes up and makes her way to the kitchen. She hears those familiar deep voices coming from there and the corners of her mouth turns up. She gives one quick peck to Zay’s cheek and a hug to Josh’s legs before she was scooped up by the strong arms of her father, who drops a kiss on her forehead. She rests her head against his shoulder and smells his aftershave and the soft scent of his soap; it was soothing.

"Luc, Josh cooked pancakes," Lucas tells her, and she grins at him and then at Zay.

"Really? May I have some? With syrup!" She squeals and motions for Lucas to put her down.

The men chuckle at the sight of the little girl walking around in her purple pajamas and her blue slippers looking for the syrup in the kitchen cabinets. She finds the bottle and sits down at the table, waiting for the huge stack of pancakes that Lucas disapproved of but had to admit it was funny the way in which Lucy’s eyes widened and how she smiled wickedly as she took the first bite.

"Good?" Zay asks from her side, and Lucy nods happily. "Great, then later you should tell me everything about Riley okay, Luc?" He whispers to her, and she looks at her dad before smiling at Zay.

'Kay," she replies. "But uncle Zay you have to talk to Daddy and tell him that I like her, Riley because I don't know how to do it and I think he likes her."

"I will, baby girl," Zay responds and Lucy grins at him while she takes another bite.

Lucas looked at them suspiciously and glares at Zay and Josh. He knew that his daughter was planning something and his friends were being pretty sneaky so that the combination could be disastrous, but he also thought that he loved the look on Lucy’s face and he blamed it on the previous night, on Riley and how good she was with her.

A while later, when Lucy was full of pancakes and milk, Zay offers to play and mostly talk. She knew what because Uncle Zay was curious about Riley.

"She helped me to do my hair, and she sings!" She squeals while Zay gave her his undivided attention. "She was a dancer. She said she was famous. And her dads like the Knicks but I don't mind because she's nice and I think I could get her to like the Mavericks better, right? And Daddy looked at her like this," Lucy stares at Zay in a funny way, and he chuckles. "Is it good? I think it is good because he never looks at anyone like that and he was smiling. Oh, and she looked at him like this," she glances at Zay through her eyelashes in a sheepish way, trying to simulate the flirty looks that Riley had given to Lucas.

She tells Zay everything about their evening. He made some mental notes on the finer details so that he could compare notes with Josh, Maya, and Tom later.

Damn! Now he was thinking about Tom.

After Josh has gone home to shower and Lucy had fallen asleep on the couch, Zay was now trying to get information from Lucas, which was a hard task considering how quiet Lucas regarded his personal life. He wouldn't say anything that he didn't want and Zay was lucky he was Lucas's best friend, but even then Zay knew Lucas still kept some things from him. 

"So, what happened?" Zay asks and Lucas arches an eyebrow “You are telling me that Lucy hasn’t already told you?” 

Zay chuckles “I got her version, but I want your version.” 

Lucas smiles, showing amusement, "It was great, she's amazing, and we had fun with Lucy. She's amazing with her."

"But?"

"What if she thinks that I invited her just because of Lucy?" Lucas sighs heavily, and Zay knew it.

Lucas likes Riley. Badly. The way he talks about her, the concern, the insecurity in the man that never flinched, it would've been scary if he didn't know him so well. Zay had only seen that worry once, about Lucy.

"Why would she think that?" Zay asks.

"Because it wasn't a date. I mean – Shit!" Lucas mutters in an angry tone.

"She's gorgeous; she's smart and cute, so sexy. Man!" Lucas growls frustrated.

"I wanted to kiss her, so fucking badly and I couldn't, because of Lucy."

"D'you think she would've let you?" Zay smiles a little, already knowing the answer from Josh. 

"Yeah," Lucas mumbles and smirks again, softly. "I think so, I mean we nearly did when Riley’s kisses me on the cheek goodbye, but dude I need to get to know her better.” 

"You need a date, a date-date," Zay snickers when Lucas glares at him. “One where you might get the kiss.” 

"I don't want her to hate me if it doesn't work because Lucy likes her. It's different and complicated. Even if she's not right for me, Riley is great for Lucy. I don't want to mess that up."

"Dude, you like her, and she seems to like you, just ask her out. Just the two of you, alone." Zay advises, and Lucas exhales deeply.

"I dunno," Lucas babbles “Did Riley say anything, Josh?”

“Josh says that Riley pretty much feels the same as you.” Lucas just bites his lip in concern. 

"Just take it slow." Zay smiles and shakes his head. He couldn't believe he was giving relationship advice to Lucas. He couldn’t remember the last time he had a real relationship. "Ask her out and just don't think about what might happen."

Lucas nods, but Zay didn't actually know if his friend was going to follow his advice. He hoped so, and by the look on Lucas’s face, he really wanted to have another chance of getting to know Riley

After Josh and Zay receive all their information, they decided to head to the bakery to discuss the next step with Maya and Tom. Zay wasn’t sure when the four of them had become a little group of cupids, but he couldn’t deny that he was quite excited at the thought of seeing Tom again. Ever since they had swapped numbers, they had been texting non-stop. 

Josh walks into the bakery first and makes a beeline straight for Maya in the gallery while Zay follows in and looks around. Zay's face drops thinking that Tom maybe went home, when Tom walks out from the back, his own face breaking out into a grin when he sees Zay. 

“Hi," Zay mutters sheepishly, and Tom had to purse his lips to contain the growl in the back of his throat. He wants Zay, and it was kind of shocking how fast his need (feelings) for him had grown.

"Would you like something?" Tom offers.

"Sure," Zay replies and Tom begins to prepare him a cappuccino, already knowing what Zay likes. 

They start to chat, and it went out smooth. Tom was beginning to flirt a bit more, but Zay didn’t mind. 

Zay was funny and good looking. Tom was cute and mysteriously seductive without knowing he was. 

“Do you think this thing with Riley and Lucas will work?” Zay asks as Tom places his coffee in front of him. Tom shrugs cleaning the bench as he does. 

“I don’t know; I think Riley needs not to think about it and just go with her feelings. I haven’t known her for very long, but she is a very open person except when it comes to love.” 

Zay sighs “Lucas is a very closed off person, maybe it won’t work.” 

Tom places his hand on top of Zay’s, and Zay feels a spark go through his whole body. “I have a feeling things will work out just fine.” 

“Really?” 

Tom nods “Now how about you and I discuss what are going to do on our date instead?” 

Zay can’t help but grin.

Zay hates to bail on Lucy.

Sundays were his favorite day because Zay, Lucas and sometimes Josh were free to hang out with Lucy, have a nice time with the little girl and spoil her. 

"Uncle Zay?" Lucy calls when he was saying goodbye to her before his date with Tom. "Did you talk to Daddy?"

"What about, Lucy?" Zay asks and squats down in front of her.

"About Riley," she whispers while looking around to make sure that her dad wasn't around. "I think he likes her and I like her too. What happens after that? What should they do?"

It was so amazingly cute the way she cares about Lucas that Zay couldn't help but smile at her and smooth her hair.

"Josh, and I will try to help, okay? I promise, and I'm gonna do it, since now," Zay says.

"Where are you going? Daddy said you had a date.” 

“I do Luce.” 

“How could that help Daddy and Riley?" Lucy asks curiously, and Zay sighs. She had this weird power over them. He couldn't hide anything from her.

"I'm going out with Tom," he speaks and sees the huge grin spreading across her face, "but you can't tell anyone, 'kay?"

"Okay," she nods happily. "I like Tom too. He’s nice and funny." She rose on tiptoes and presses a kiss on his cheek. "Good luck, Uncle Zay." She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick and tight hug.

After he said goodbye and left Lucas's place, he wishes that every girl was like Lucy, that things were simple like that.

And then he decided that he was going to be him, naïve, sweet and quirky Zay. He only hopes that Tom likes that.

Lucas was checking the games on TV when Lucy climbs on his lap and cuddles against him.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, princess," he smiles sweetly at her.

"Do you want a mom? I mean, for us?" She asks with her big green eyes and he gulps. She wants a mum, and it hurt in his heart that she didn't have one. She was so good; she deserved one.

"For us?" She nods and Lucas sighs and pauses the game. "Lucy, you know I love you, right?" She nods again.

"I love you too, Daddy," she smiles, and he feels that warmth in his heart.

"Do you want a mum?" He asks bluntly.

"Umm…" She frowns in that cute gesture of her. "Yes, I want a mommy for us. Not just for me, because you should have one, I mean, not a mum, duh!" She giggles. "You have one, Nana, but you should have a wife? Or a girlfriend? I dunno," she sighs softly, and Lucas feels a bit sad for her. "A family! That's it; we should have that."

"Princess," he drawls.

"I like Riley, Daddy," she blurts out. "She does mommy things." She looks at him in the eye. "Do you like her?" He couldn't lie to her. He had never done so. He wouldn't start now."Yeah, Luce, I like her too."

Ayesha Liveblogs Fairy Tail S5

“A silent but deadly force waiting to erupt” I think there are ways to introduce villains that sound less like you’re talking about a fart

Oh it was intentional

Wendy heals the thieves that are holding her hostage what a girl <3 

“If you hurt that little girl, I will go straight for your throats” same Carla same

“It’s supposed to leave your skin super clear” I see what you did there

Lucy can no longer call Gray out for walking around naked lmao

I love that Freed and Levy are science bros 

“And we do guarantee satisfaction” said Gray, shirtless and smirking 

Laxus has become a hermit of the woods of Magnolia because he misses Fairy Tail 

I want someone to love me like the Thunder Legion loves Laxus

How is Gray still so awkward being alone with Erza they’ve been friends for like ten years 

“What’s wrong? You’re not stripping.” ERZA PLS

Laxus keeps his hands in his pockets before a battle for the aesthetic

“Gajeel ghosted” me too Gajeel

So the opposite of Sugarboy, Hughes and Coco is Slimy Elvis, a lady, and a violent little girl

“The truth is, you’ve been Lucy this entire time” well that’s one way to defeat an enemy 

Logically just based on level of skill and experience Natsu should probably be able to beat these guys but I guess this is what happens when you win all your battles based on pure Balls

“This is the weirdest fight ever” clearly you weren’t there for the S-Class trial sex and cotton candy fight

Why does Hughes keep saying “totes” this episode first aired in 2012

Loving this recurring trope of Gray showing up late to a battle like ‘bitch you thought’

“You shouldn’t be so hard on yourself, Michelle,” said Lucy before being extremely hard on herself 

Gray is so happy about chaos he’s a closet anarchist 

“Are you the one behind these attacks” What kind of an investigator is Lahar who else would it be christ

Gildarts is trying to make up for ten years of dad-ing

Natsu and Gray are being so ridiculous during this arc just dirty-minded anarchy bros running around arm in arm

Lucy following in Gray’s footsteps by stopping enemy attacks by Being Hot

“I know whose key will unlock my happiness” is that a dick joke Juvia

Ffdkgjfdgkdgj Lyon crashing this forced date I’m crying 

“You mean we’re still not done with this thing?” Gray sums up my feelings about this entire arc

If Lucy has seen many adventure movies then why does she not realie that touching the thing on the pedestal will spring a trap

“My heart can’t seem to stop pounding” Ggdfuiygdiyhfgi GRAY GIVES ALL HIS ENEMIES THEIR SEXUAL AWAKENING

“Grab something with your magic” since when is that a thing you can do they’re really being liberal with the rules of magic in this filler

“Apparently your heart is as frosty as your biceps are bulgy” fhkghfkjghkfgkjfhgk I’M LOSING IT

Gray doesn’t have the emotional energy to deal with multiple people being attracted to him

If there’s anything I’ve learned from Fairy Tail it’s that Gray and Lucy are too hot to live 

“You should really learn how to use that thing before you go whipping it out you moron” That was definitely a dick joke

My aesthetic is tiny Levy threatening to kill Gajeel 

Lucy’s kindness always gets to me she doesn’t only want to protect Coco’s life she wants to be her friend 

“I will conduct a test of your scoundreldom” Erza Scarlet is a gift

All the members of Fairy Tail are really sensitive about the fact they are seven years behind all their peers

“Let’s consummate our marriage in the presence of God” I can’t believe Dan just asked Lucy to fuck in a church

That is definitely not church-appropriate attire Lucy

I was not expecting the pale green cat to grow six feet taller but sure why not

“Next time talk faster!” “Next time listen to me!” Gajeel and Levy are #married

Is the fact that Dan passes on Michelle for a girl with ‘more life in her’ mean that she’s secretly dead or something

This is really playing with the rules of magic like not only did Hughes extract Mirajane’s power now she has another form

Take a shot every time an anime character starts talking about bonds

“Titania!” “Do not speak my name!” I love Erza

Midnight’s character design has gotten 10x more ridiculous they gave him Gajeel’s haircut and white thigh high boots

Lmao @ Natsu and his friends being referred to as ‘the old problems’

“Natsu could use a lesson in flirting” is Gray offering to teach Natsu to flirt 

Everyone in Fairy Tail: Blame the dead guy for being cryptic

Filler Freed loves to cook almost as much as he loves Laxus

It’s funny that Cobra has some kind of romantic history with Kinana because in canon they did say his only friend was a snake

Sure. Why not. Giant fuckin box man. My expectations are already so low

“I’ve often wondered if our magic styles might complement each other” “I got to admit I’ve wondered that myself” I can’t believe Gray and Freed are flirting with each other

Mest has had a rough seven years cripes I guess it makes sense if he thought the little girl and nice people he was betraying were all blasted into nothingness

You’d think that Wendy would be the perfect person to face a wind user

Gildarts just tried to flirt with a nun 

“I’ll have you know my loyalty lies with Laxus” Freed just compared his feelings for Laxus to Dan’s crush on Angel

Poor Mest he’s running around still a little drunk 

Why is Lahar not telling Doranbalt the people he is mourning are alive

My money is on Fake Michelle being the girl from the book

“I was lost, until I heard your voice calling to me” Why does Erigor sound like the protagonist of a romance novel

Natsu has a lot more overt feelings towards Lucy in the filler

I suppose the Michelle reveal means that we are wrapping up this irrelevant arc thank goodness I want to know what happened to Jellal 

I hope the Time Spiral means that one of the Fairy Tail team is going to be turned into a baby

I was right and it was Gray and he was adorable

“Fine, we don’t expect sacrifices to participate” Klodoa gets a little too real

“Lucy belongs to me and you can’t have her” Imitatia’s dialogue has gotten much more gay since her reveal

“You and Erza really need to work as a team” “You’re one to talk” Gray raises a good point Natsu always wants to fight people alone

“I want you to impale me” I mean... same Angel same 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

Gray’s speech on morality was far more intimate than others because he was half-naked and top of his enemy

Amazing Erza just batted Cobra straight in the direction of his snake girlfriend

You gotta wonder what the Oracion Seis was doing for that seven years

So Michelle wasn’t the book girl she was a doll but I was close enough I think still a character from Lucy’s childhood

“Now you will become a traveler of The Void” Me too tbh

“I assumed that’s why you stopped talking to me” And also because you’re a doll and she’s an adult woman

“Get your dirty hands off me” Cobra doesn’t want a girlfriend he only wants a snake

What a long and eventually pointless journey to get back to point
