Chapter 2: Without Regret
Cana was Lucy's source for advice regarding men. After the dismissal from Natsu, Lucy told Cana all about it the next day. Cana, in turn, gave Lucy a sympathetic hug and said it was tough having feelings for the world's worst boyfriend prospect in all of Fiore. Cana suggested that the two of them go to a club to try and forget all of Lucy's troubles. There was bound to be plenty of men who'd be interested in taking Lucy out for the night.
And so they went off into the perilous world of the club scene. They drank, they danced, they beckoned to the hungry eyes of the males around them. Mages from all over Fiore were there, though not many Fairy Tail people were around. Most of the Fairy Tail mages preferred the bar scene.
It was a long night and Lucy was having a ton fun. She had nearly forgotten about Natsu. Cana also had a productive night. Lucy saw the card mage leave the room with a cute guy. Cana threw a thumb up at Lucy before disappearing through the doors.
Lucy smiled and Lucy grabbed another drink. She was more than tipsy, but she could hold her liquor. She was feeling good and loose, which meant she needed to get back on the dance floor. By then the place was crowded with tightly packed bodies gyrating against each other in unison. Smoke, alcohol, and sweat swirled in the musty air of the dark space. It was both uncomfortable and intoxicating at the same time.
She moved her way into the heart of the crowd and started dancing. Her body moved to the rhythm of the music instinctually She lifted her hands up in the air as she moved her hips, swaying from side to side. She didn't dance with anyone in particular, but it didn't seem to matter. She was feeling the music.
"I like the way you dance," said a male voice from behind her.
"This is my song," she said turning to face him, but not really looking. She was too into the dancing.
He started dancing with her, uninvited. Lucy didn't stop him, though. He wasn't a bad dancer. He knew how to use his body, knew how to move with the music. She liked the strength of his hands when he touched her. They must have danced five songs together, though Lucy wasn't really care. The night was becoming a blur to her. Who she danced with, how many songs she danced to were all minor details to her. She was trying her best to enjoy the moment.
As the night approached closing time, a slower song played. Lucy was about to walk off the dance floor, but her dance partner snatched at her arm and pulled her close to him.
"Aren't you aggressive?" she said playfully.
"I like what I see," he said in a low voice.
Did he just growl? Lucy found herself somewhat enticed. Because she had spent so much time being interested in Natsu, she hadn't received thiskind of attention from another guy in a long time. She had to admit she liked it. She loved having her physical attractiveness and desirability confirmed. That was something painfully missing in her interactions with Natsu. This man was doing well to cater to her more carnal urges.
They continued to dance until the club closed its doors.
"Oh man," Lucy groaned as she woke up.
She was feeling extremely groggy and her head hurt a little. She tried to look around for a clock. It was still dark in the room and her vision was blurry. Sure, she'd been drinking, but she hadn't had thatmuch alcohol. Her body felt tired and really sore! Her hips especially felt like she'd used them all night. Was it all the dancing? She tried to get up, but was stopped by something heavy resting across her rib cage below her chest. Lucy made a silent gasp as she realized it was someone's arm!
Details slowly filtered in as her mind came out of its foggy state. She wasn't in the room at the inn. In fact she wasn't at Honeybone at all. There was someone sleeping next to her... This person was definitely a man. She could feel him against her. Lucy gulped as she lifted up the sheet to look down at her body. They were both naked!
"Figured it out, blondie?" said an annoyingly self-assured voice.
Lucy turned around only to face Sting Eucliffe. She screamed and pushed his face away from her. As he fell back onto the bed, she pulled off the bed sheet, wrapping it around her as she scrambled to the floor.
"Wh-what happened last night?" she said confused.
"You got a little drunk, danced, and had sex with me." Sting said simply.
"I did what?!"
Lucy turned away from Sting, trying to remember the events from the night before. Yes, she went out with Cana and they had some drinks. Cana left with some cute guy, but afterwards... Afterwards she started dancing with someone. She wasn't even sure at what point she realized it was Sting, but eventually she agreed to go back with him to his room... How did they get to the sex part?
"You're such a bad girl," Sting said rubbing his face. "Cheating on Natsu like that. I didn't think you had it in you."
"We're not even together, how can I be cheating?" she snapped back at him."
"Oh, so you were a virgin, then? I'm honored."
"That's a perverted thing to say," Lucy said. "Besides I'm not-" Lucy stopped abruptly. Why was she even bothering to divulge this information to this guy?!
"I didn't think you were a virgin. You sure didn't act like one."
Lucy blushed as the details of their encounter returned to her memory. It wasn't a bad experience, she remembered. Lucy shook her head. She needed to get herself together! So she got a little drunk and had sex with Sting. It was a mistake. She stood up and with as much dignity as she could muster and grabbed her clothing from off the ground and headed for the bathroom. She needed to change and get out of here.
"You don't want to go one more time?" Sting called out to her as she shut the door.
"NO!"
Lucy snuck into Honeybone while everyone had gone to the stadium. She really wanted to take a bath, change, and head to the venue to cheer her team on...
Or maybe she'll go back to library to hide out. Thinking it over, she may not be able to face Natsu, Sting, or anyone for that matter. Yeah, maybe she will hide out for at least a day.
When Lucy entered the room she shared with Natsu, Erza, and Gray, she was surprised to see Erza sitting by the window polishing a sword.
"Hey Lucy," Erza said casually.
"G-good morning." Lucy said stumbling. She walked over to her luggage to get a change of clothing.
"I noticed you and Cana were gone last night," Erza said. "The club?"
Lucy hesitated unsure of how much she wanted to reveal "Yeah."
"Any luck?"
Lucy guessed Erza had heard from Cana about what happened with Natsu, otherwise she wouldn't have made that last comment. For some reason, the sympathy in Erza's voice got to Lucy and made her feel guilty. Last night, Lucy had forgotten about Natsu, but perhaps she wasn't ready to let go of her feelings for Natsu. Not entirely, anyways. Tears began to well in her eyes. Erza took notice of this.
"Lucy?" she said gently.
"I... I made a mistake," Lucy whispered. "I went to the club and slept with a guy."
"But that was the reason why you went out in the first place, right?"
"I went with someone from Sabertooth. I don't even like the guy."
Now this was a shock to Erza. "Sabertooth?" the red headed mage said, startled. "Who?"
Lucy winced just thinking about it. The tears began to overflow. "Sting Eucliffe," she said burying her face in her palms in embarrassment.
Lucy cried steadily. Erza stood up to sit next to her friend and wrap a concerned arm around the blonde's shoulders.
"Just a few days ago we all vowed to kill him for laughing at you," Erza said. "That offer is still available."
Lucy laughed weakly. "It was my mistake. He didn't do anything wrong, necessarily..."
"What do you mean?"
"It was my choice," Lucy said. "In fact, I don't regret it at all." Lucy paused for a second. "Does that mean my feelings for Natsu meant nothing?"
Erza couldn't answer that, of course. She's seen plenty of girls develop feelings for Natsu, also to no avail. Even Lisanna could be considered one of his casualties. That it happened to Lucy was no real surprise. Secretly, though, Erza had hoped that Lucy would be the one to get lucky. It was unfortunate that it didn't happen.
"Will you go see him again?"
Lucy sniffled a bit and then scoffed. "It was just a one night stand."
Erza thought about Lucy's words carefully. That wasn't exactly a no answer. "But if he did ever approach you again, would you go see him?"
Lucy hesitated a little. "I… I don't know. I'm upset about Natsu..." Lucy started blushing. "But to be honest I enjoyed having sex with Sting."
Lucy's blunt words made Erza blush. On principle, Erza didn't like that Lucy had shacked up with Sabertooth, much less the biggest asshole of said guild. But she also doesn't blame Lucy for what she did. Lucy was disappointed and sought comfort somewhere else. It was a poor choice to do it while a little drunk, but it sounds like it wasn't a mistake Lucy regrets... Still, Sting Eucliffe?
Erza decided she wasn't going to hate Lucy for it, though. Erza just couldn't bring herself to do that. She gave her friend a big hug.
"Please, don't tell Natsu..." Lucy whispered.
Erza didn't like that idea. "I won't tell Natsu, for your sake. Nor will I stop you if you go see that guy again," Erza said pulling back to look Lucy in the eye. "Just be careful. I wouldn't go on expecting some kind of beautiful romance with him."
"I won't."
Erza watched Lucy head to the bathroom to clean up and get changed. The scarlet haired mage decided to offer just a little damage control by requesting that she and Lucy get separate rooms from Natsu and Gray.
Lucy was walking into complicated territory now.
