Chapter 13
Salamander's Gullibility
Natsu Dragneel sat on a cliff overlooking a sea of clouds. Behind him, Edolas' Fairy Tail was in the midst of a noisy party, having just escaped from the Knightwalker's Fairy hunters again and landed in this place of mists and clouds. Living another day was a damn good reason to celebrate, so despite a shortage on food, there was music and wild dancing. At least that was the same about this guild: they partied with vigor. He did not think he could handle it if they were prim and proper. Edo-Cana's teetotaling and that annoyingly blunt schoolboy Edo-Romeo were bad enough.
He heard footsteps approaching and looked around to see Edo-Wendy creeping up. She gave him a sweet smile, then settled down beside him, close enough so their legs were touching.
"Hey, Salamander. Are you still feeling sick from the jump?" she asked.
"I'm better," he muttered, staring off at the clouds. "It was just a bit rough."
"Sorry. I didn't have my web up."
"That's my fault," Natsu acknowledged. "Ashley pounded me because of it. Knightwalker got so close, I could see her red hair." His face looked uncharacteristically pensive. "She looks exactly like Erza Scarlet. I didn't think I could miss that scary woman, but I guess I miss all of them … even Gray," he reluctantly admitted with a soft grunt. "I wonder what everyone is up to back home. I hope Happy is okay."
"Your Exceed, huh?" Edo-Wendy said softly, smoothing the short skirt that showed off her shapely thighs. "Sometimes you talk about him like he's your best friend, sometimes like he's your own son."
Natsu wondered about that complex relationship. "Well, he is my best friend," he agreed, "and I raised him since he hatched from an egg. I guess … maybe he's like a son."
The blue-haired woman tittered softly. "That's sort of sweet. I imagine you'd make a wonderful father."
He blushed and scratched the back of his head with embarrassment. "Aww, it's nothing. Happy's easy to care for. I'm just worried for him. We've never been apart for this long."
Edo-Wendy hummed as she examined him. "You miss your guild a lot, don't you?"
"Well, yeah! They're my family. I'm getting used to the others in this guild, at least. Cana is really smart, although she likes to use big words I don't understand. Gray Surge isn't half bad, although he's annoying. Lucy Ashley is still scary."
Edo-Wendy giggled. "That's true."
"I don't mind being with you guys, but seeing Erza reminded me of how much I miss home." Natsu sighed and sank his chin onto propped fists, staring out as the setting sun changed the sea of clouds into many colors, from flaming red to royal purple. "I wonder if I'll ever get to see them again."
The blue-haired beauty wrapped an arm around him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Sure you will. You can't give up hope. It might take a while, but we won't stop searching for a way. In the meantime, you're happy here, right?" she asked hopefully.
"I guess," he muttered, ignoring that she was hugging him so intimately. "At least you're fun to hang around. Wendy back home is too young."
"But she's cute in a way, right?" the older Wendy prodded.
"Yeah, maybe. Way different from you, though."
"Oh?" she smirked, scooting closer. "Different how? Is she cuter?"
"Nah, just … different. She's like … kid-cute and you're … you're…" He glanced over, and although this was Natsu, he was still a healthy teen. This older, more mature woman had breasts that were impressive, and looking at them made Natsu feel strange inside, especially since she had those soft mounds pressed right up against his arm with her head resting on his shoulder. "You're … mature-cute."
Edo-Wendy giggled at that. "Mature-cute? I'm sure there's a better term for that."
"Maybe," he muttered, forcing his eyes away from that soft, squishy chest. "I'm no good with words."
Edo-Wendy sighed silently. She really wanted to hear him say she was beautiful, but she supposed Natsu in both dimensions was the type of boy who did not really understand his own emotions well enough to articulate them.
Natsu went on, "Wendy Marvell is just a kid. Since she's also a Dragon Slayer, she's more like a cute little sister." His answer displeased the flirtatious woman. "But with you, it's different."
"Not like a little sister, I hope."
"No, more like … I dunno…"
"Big sister?" she asked, hoping he did not agree to that. Sister was not the sort of relationship she was after.
"Nah, just different. But a good different. You're the easiest person to talk to around here. At least with you, I don't expect you to act like my Wendy, because you don't look as little and sweet."
"I don't look sweet?" This flame-brain was started to really annoy her. Was he complimenting her or insulting her?
"Nah, it's more like … well…" His face crunched up as he tried to think of a way to say such a complicated thing. "Okay, way back when I was a kid, there was this lady in the guild. She was older, about how old we are now, but I was just a kid back then. I…" He tucked his head down into his scarf. "She … made me feel funny. I told Gildarts about it. He said it's called a crush. I didn't get what crushing things had to do with it, but I just knew she looked different from the others. She wasn't scary like Erza, or drunk all the time like Cana, or a foul-mouthed demon like Mira was back then, and she wasn't little and adorable like Lisanna. She was … older … mature … had eyes that made my stomach do flips. I know what a crush is now, but I didn't figure it out until long after she left the guild."
"A first crush, huh? Sounds cute."
"Nah, it was just a pain, distracted me from training," he said dismissively. "Still, something about you makes me remember her. You're … mature-cute … like she was."
Wendy wondered if that was Natsu's way of saying he was starting to form a crush on her. She sincerely hoped so. This boy was infuriatingly dense, but such a baffling personality only piqued her interest more.
Lightly, she pointed out, "Hey, you never really talk about your personal life back in Earthland. You know, like did you have a girlfriend?"
"Nah, I wasn't interested in girls," he said with a shrug.
"Oh," she whispered, looking worried. "A … a boyfriend, then?"
"Huh? No!" he cried out, jolting slightly. "No, I … I mean … I like girls," he assured. "It's just … I…" He sighed and gave up with a pout and sputtering sigh. "I've always been awkward around girls. I never know what to say to them, how to act, or what they're thinking. Maybe because, growing up, it was just me and Igneel. Then in Fairy Tail, there were so many different types of girls. I either just thought of them the same as boys, like with Erza, or they made my tummy feel weird, like that older lady. Then there was Lisanna. I used to like her. Like, really liked her. Some people teased us that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, but I never asked her out. Still, she would get dreamy about marrying me one day, although we weren't actually dating or anything. Then we all thought she died. I didn't let myself fall in love after that."
"That's so sad, Natsu," Edo-Wendy sighed, tucking her purplish-blue hair back and leaning in a little more, wishing she could caress the grief out of his face. It looked so misplaced on this fiery-hearted man. "When she returned to you guys, didn't having her back get you interested in love again?"
"I dunno," he mumbled. "Not really, I guess. I just … wasn't interested. Not in that way anymore. Maybe I blocked my heart for so long, I forgot how to think of girls in that way."
"That's too bad." She curled up so close to him, she was practically reclined in his lap. "My story isn't quite like that, but … do you want to hear it?"
"Sure," he said with a shrug. "You don't talk about yourself much."
"I like my privacy, but I like you, so I want you to know. My parents and sister were killed in a windstorm when I was just a toddler. I vaguely remember them. I was raised in a tribe in the far south of Edolas. They were anthro-spiders, a simple group of natives; I was a human they found in their webs after the storm. The tribe shaman, Robaul, decided to raise me rather than kill me. The tribe was my new family. However, anthro-spiders are hated amongst humans. A group of hunters came. I was still a child, but I tried to fight. Robaul asked me to guard the path while my tribe escaped. They left me there, knowing the hunters would not kill a human child. I thought I was doing it for the tribe, to save my brothers and sisters. The hunters kidnapped me, raised me, tried to civilize me, and taught me to hate anthro-spiders like they did. They said the spiders left me to die while they scurried away because I was now big enough to hunt them. After a few years, I began to believe them. I didn't trust the idea of family, not when family abandons you to die. Then on my first hunt, we came across my old tribe. Instead of killing them, I turned on the hunters. I let my tribe go, but I ran away from them, fearing them, hating them, just as the hunters taught me to do. That's when I found Fairy Tail. I resisted this new family for a long time, but eventually I saw the same joy I had with my parents and with the anthro-spiders. I came to love Fairy Tail like I loved my tribe. Finally, I wrote back home and helped negotiate peace between the anthro-spider tribes and the groups of humans down south."
She looked over to Natsu with a gentle smile. "My point is, I thought I could never again think of someone as family, but I grew up and cast away those barriers around my heart. With time, I'm sure you'll learn to love again."
"I dunno," Natsu mumbled. "I wouldn't even know whom to love."
She got a gleam in her eyes. "Is there no girl waiting back home for you?"
"Not really. None I know about, anyway."
"Is that so?" Edo-Wendy smirked privately, thinking up a new way to weave her web around this dense boy. "Hey, I know some magic that will unfreeze the coldest heart."
"You do?" Natsu asked in excitement.
Edo-Wendy licked her lips slightly. "Oh yes! Do you want to try it?"
"Yeah, of course," he said eagerly.
"Okay, but you have to close your eyes."
A pink eyebrow shot up. "Huh? Why?"
"Silly," Edo-Wendy tittered. "Magic isn't supposed to exist here. I can't let anyone see it, and that includes you."
"Oh, okay," he said, and Natsu shut his eyes tightly.
"No peeking," she said playfully. Edo-Wendy rose onto her knees and gazed down at Natsu's waiting face. She gave her lips another small lick. "You're keeping them closed, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, just hurry up," he said squirming with impatience.
"My, so eager," she chuckled. Then she took his cheeks and held them up. "Now, don't move."
"Is this gonna be like Troia?" Natsu asked, keeping his eyes closed. "That's a spell Wendy Marvell uses to help with my motion sickness."
"Oh, I think you'll see it's much more pleasurable than anything Earthland has to offer," she purred, and slowly she leaned in to his face.
"Oh, is it like spider magic, since you were raised by those spider people?"
"Well, it does weave a web around a person," she said craftily. "Now, don't pull away," she ordered in a sultry whisper, loosening her lips and leaning in closer. She could feel his warm breath on her mouth, each exhale tickling her moist lips. She closed her eyes, ready for the kiss. "Just … relax…"
"Wendy!"
The young woman jolted at the shout. Not far behind them, Lucy Ashley stood with a hand on her hip and a murderous glare in her eyes.
"You have patrol duty," Edo-Lucy told her sharply.
Edo-Wendy stiffened stubbornly. "My watch isn't until—"
"Now!" she barked.
Natsu opened his eyes and looked back to the blonde, then to the buxomly woman in front of him, confused by the stares from each of them. "Are you two gonna fight again?" he asked, purely curious, knowing that when two people challenged one another, others should not get involved. He was ready to step aside and let them duel.
Edo-Wendy finally gave in and pulled back until she was sitting on her heels. "Maybe another time, Natsu."
"No, wait!" he shouted. "What about the spider magic?"
She sighed and shook her head as she rose to her feet. "If you're as thick-headed elsewhere as you are in the brain, this challenge will actually be worth the frustration. Later." Then she ran off.
"Hey, wait! Wendy!" he hollered. Edo-Lucy walked up and flopped right where Wendy had been. "Why'd you interrupt her? She was going to cure me."
"No, she wasn't," the blonde said frigidly. "You're a really gullible kid, Salamander."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Natsu asked in confusion. "Are you saying Wendy doesn't know spider magic?"
"Of course she doesn't!" she shouted, and Edo-Lucy pounded him on the top of his head. "For one, the anthro-spiders have never used magic. Two, no one in this entire planet can work magic anymore. You were there that day, Natsu. You saw what King Jellal did, sucking all the planet's magic away. There is no magic at all in this stupid world." She tackled him down and pinned his arms.
"Hey, wait! What are you doing?" he yelled.
She punched him in the forehead. "Knocking some brains into that flame-filled head of yours. God, I really can't stand how much of an idiot you are. You're really a total…" Punch! "…fucking…" Slap! "…moron."
"Will you stop it?" he roared.
Natsu grabbed her hard. With a quick jerk, he flipped her and landed on top. Edo-Lucy's legs wrapped around him, crushing his ribcage. Natsu cried out, but in a fast move he had his arms around the back of her knees, folded her legs up to her chest, and pinned down her arms as well. The blonde thrashed violently under him, but he had her well secured.
"That hurts!" Natsu shouted.
Edo-Lucy gazed up at him in shock. Natsu stopped, seeing the timid look on her face for just a brief moment. He realized what this looked like, with her in such a revealing position, her legs spread and folded up, her body pinned under his greater weight and bigger muscles. Slowly, Lucy's face began to blush.
"S-Sorry," he muttered, and Natsu began to pull back.
"No, stay," she requested. "You … do you want me to do the same magic Wendy was about to try?"
Natsu looked amazed. "You know magic too? But you said there was no magic."
"Magic to cure a frigid heart, right?" she said, smiling coyly. "I can do that much. Just release my arms and close your eyes."
He laughed and shut his lids. "What's with you guys and closing eyes?"
"The magic works better that way." One hand slipped behind his head, pulling him down closer to her. The other caressed his cheek. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, yeah!" he said eagerly.
She leaned up and pressed her lips against his. Natsu held still for five whole seconds before realizing something was wrong. He opened his eyes, and it took him two more seconds to realize he was being kissed. He tried to draw back, but Edo-Lucy's hand caught into his hair and held him in place. He balked against her, but her legs wrapped around him again, forcing him to stay close to her body.
"Just enjoy it," she whispered between their lips.
Natsu tried to speak, but slowly he stopped fighting. Her taste was surprisingly sweet for such a caustic girl, and her smell was the same as Lucy Heartfilia, that smell he loved, the smell that relaxed him enough so that whenever he could not sleep, he knew he only needed her bed. Now her smell was everywhere, slowly growing stronger. Her fingers ran through his hair, making him hum. Then her other hand trailed down slowly over his cheek, back to his ear, around the shell, and down his neck. It scraped over the tender scar, sending a jolt of pleasure through Natsu's body.
"Lucy," he gasped.
She smiled at finding his weak point. "Natsu," she sighed.
He looked down at her, breathless, confused, but slowly instincts began to take control. His eyes narrowed with desire. This time, it was he who attacked, conquering her lips, pressing down on her body. As he felt his pants getting uncomfortably tight, his hips moved on their own, giving a slight thrust against her. Edo-Lucy moaned as she felt how aroused he was. She reached down to his hips to pull him in tightly again.
"Lucy," he warned, feeling foggy in the head, unable to think clearly. Some instinct deep within him was warning him that they were heading toward a cliff, and once he fell over the edge, he would not be able to stop tumbling downward.
"I hate how you make me feel so vulnerable, Natsu," she confessed between kisses. "I hate it … and I love it. I want to pound you to the ground … and I want you to pound me into a bed!"
His body was reacting on its own now. He slid his groin against her, feeling her heat through his clothes, inhaling as her scent changed, got stronger, so overwhelming it made him more dizzy than the day he and Happy painted their house. His stomach was coiling, and his head rang with warning bells that he ignored, lost in her taste, her smell, and the soft moans she made between their kissing lips. He had wanted to hear Lucy like this many times, and now … now she was…
"She's not here! This isn't my Lucy!"
Just as his mind was about to dive over that cliff and be completely lost, the internal warning alarm jolted him. He sharply pulled up, sat back on his heels, and wiped his mouth with his scarf. Lucy Ashley looked up in concern and saw the horrified look in his face.
"Natsu," she pleaded, arching her back slightly as her body craved his warm touches.
"I can't," he panted breathlessly.
"Because we're in the open? We'll get a room and—"
"No!" he shouted. Natsu swallowed hard as his heart felt like it might leap out of his throat. "I … I just can't. If I let myself fall in love while in Edolas, it's like I'm resigning myself to never making it back home."
"It could be just for now," she said, pleading with her eyes and caressing his chest to entice him back. "Just something for fun, let off some steam." Her hand slid down and stroked his erection again. "I can tell you want it."
He sternly pushed her hand away. "I don't do things like that just for fun. A dragon only takes one mate."
"You're not a dragon, Natsu. You're a man, and men need a little pleasure from time to time."
Still, the Dragon Slayer shook his head. "I'm not that sort of man, Ashley. I'll wait until I find the right girl, and that girl will be someone from Earthland, someone I can stay with for the rest of my life."
She flopped back against the dirt and sighed as her hormones crashed and burned. "Well that's just fucking inconvenient."
"I'm sorry," he whispered in genuine regret.
"No … no, I'm sorry," she grumbled as she sat up, straightened her short hair, and pulled her clothes back in order. "I wasn't thinking about mates and lifelong commitment. I need a quick fuck, and you're really hot. I also didn't want Wendy to ensnare you. That girl is damn good at weaving her web of lust around men, but I can't let her get her fangs into you. You should watch out for her too." She looked over him again, especially at the hardness straining his pants. "You sure you don't want something? It doesn't have to be sex. I could suck you off."
"Huh? Suck? What do you…? Oh, you mean…" Natsu felt like flames might shoot out his ears at the blunt offer. "N-no, that's okay. You don't have to."
"Ya sure? I don't mind. I'm pretty good at deep-throating."
"Shut up! No!" Natsu yelled, grimacing that her offer was more than just tempting; it was torturous to turn her down.
"Have it your way. Remember our rule. Work it off outside, not in the guild bathroom." She swung her arms to get up to her feet. "Well, guess I should head back. Damn, my panties are drenched!" She adjusted her thighs with a grimace.
Natsu watched her walk away. He had to confess, he was tempted to call her back. He nearly did, but something in the back of his mind stopped him. He looked back out at the sea of clouds, but the sun was gone now. The ache in his pants hurt. He could probably just rub it out, but he felt conflicted by so many things.
Mostly, why had he kissed Edo-Lucy back, and so passionately at that? As he sat there staring at the fading sunlight, he realized that for a moment, he had imagined her as Lucy Heartfilia. But what did that mean?
He frowned as he tried to sort it out in his head. Such deep emotions were not the sort of things he could deal with alone. In the past with Lisanna, he would go to Gildarts, they would go on a fishing trip together, and the older man would hear the mixed-up feelings from the young teenager with an understanding smile and occasional laugh. He always had advice, and Natsu trusted Gildarts' experience. Now, he was alone in this world with feelings that troubled him, just like back then, and no one to talk to who could help him to sort out this problem.
"Lucy," he whispered. "If Ashley fell for me because I'm the opposite to her Natsu, does that mean you'd fall for Dragion, since he's the opposite of me? But if I turned her down, would Fireball also turn you down, or would he react opposite to me? Would he … fall in love?"
Natsu frowned at thinking about it. It was not that he felt jealous. If Lucy was happy with another man, that was good. Still, he did not like the thought of how heartbroken Lucy would be if she really did fall in love, only to be separated from Fireball when he had to go home. It would be similar to how Natsu had to close off his heart after Lisanna apparently died.
He didn't want Lucy to be sad like that.
"Whatever you choose, I just hope you're happy, Lucy," he whispered. "And if he breaks your heart, I'll kick his ass, whether if he's me or not!"
