Chapter 26
A Question of Carrots
It was dark when Lucy arrived at the guild. She felt much better after a long bath and a nap. Some clean clothes, hair that did not feel oily, and lotion on her skin...she felt human again! Although many people in the guild wanted to talk to her about her adventure hunting down Natsu, there was only one person she wanted to see. Mira came to rescue her from the mob of curious mages.
"Lucy, it's time for Natsu's dinner," the bartender said sweetly. "Why don't you deliver it to him?" Then Mira leaned over and whispered into her ear, "I'll make sure you two get some privacy."
Lucy blushed, but she took the tray of food. Mira showed her the way down.
"This is the key to unlock the prison," Mira said, handing a magic key over. "If you need help, if anything happens, take this." It was one of Cana's cards. "Each of us who come down here carries this...just in case. It'll warn Erza and Makarov, and they'll come to help."
"I don't think this will be necessary," Lucy assured her, "but thanks."
"And Lucy," Mira frowned, "if there is any way you can think of to keep him from changing into that creature, please do what you can. Master said if he changes one more time, we might lose him."
Lucy's brow tightened with worry as she looked at the dungeon entrance. "I'll do what I can."
She entered the dungeon alone. It was gloomy down there, and she heard the sound of urinating. She stayed back, giving Natsu privacy, but hearing him made her blush with naughty thoughts. She had seen that penis. She had felt it, tasted it...experienced all the pleasure it could give her. Memories of their tender time in the cave returned to her, and she felt her lower stomach coil as her face went hot. Then she heard his belt rattle and realized Natsu must be done. She waited a little longer, hoping he would not realize she was there.
"I can smell you," Natsu said. "Thanks for the privacy, though."
He walked forward and looked at her through the prison bars. Natsu smiled, but Lucy saw just how weak he was. That was not the same exuberant grin he usually had.
"I really wanted to see you, Lucy," he said softly.
She bit her lip as she came forward. The ordeal that morning—first fighting Sting, then holding Natsu as he transformed—had seemed like some nightmare, but now, seeing Natsu in prison, she realized how real it all was.
"I have your food."
He began to back up, retreating deeper into the cell.
"What are you doing?"
"You need to open the door," Natsu stated.
"You can stay there." In all honesty, she was hoping to open the door and touch him, maybe even kiss him.
"No," Natsu said, shaking his head. "I'll want to escape. I...want freedom. And you. But...but those are the feral's wants, not mine. But they're also mine. I want to stay, because I want to be cured, but I don't want to stay alone, locked up. I'm...confused." He backed up to the far end of the prison cell. "I'm not stable, Lucy. I don't know what I'll do to you. So just open the door, put the food in, then shut it."
Lucy frowned. She heard from Erza that Natsu was slipping fast, and that Gajeel was not even certain if he had a week left to him for the cure to kick in. At least he knew what he wanted still. He was not totally lost to them.
Lucy used the magical key to open to sealed prison door. She slid the tray in, then hesitated, looking at Natsu. She really wanted a kiss, but she could see he was holding himself back. Probably, he was afraid of hurting her. She sadly closed the door again and locked it. Only then did Natsu come forward.
"You smell really good. It must've been a nice shower," he said, sounding as casual as always. He grabbed the food and began to eat with a hearty appetite. "Mmm! Mira's food is as awesome as ever. I really missed her cooking."
Lucy watched him sadly. Was he acting this way just for her sake, to keep her from worrying? Natsu looked happy as he stuffed his face until his cheeks puffed out.
Hesitantly, she said, "Can I ask some...personal questions?"
"Shoot," Natsu encouraged with a full mouth.
"There's something I'm curious about. Back then, you were also a virgin, right?"
He stopped eating and looked up in surprise. With a loud gulp, he swallowed everything in his mouth. "Do you mean that time at the party? I...well...uh, yeah," he confessed, turning bright red.
She nodded with a troubled expression on her face. "It just dawned on me while I was taking a bath. In a sense, the beast took your virginity as well."
Natsu blinked in shock. "I never thought about it that way," he admitted.
"Except, you don't even remember that time."
He gave her a mournful look. "I...sort of was awake at the end. Enough to...you know...to feel it."
"So," she mumbled awkwardly, "you've never had sex with anyone else, right?"
Again he looked uncomfortable. "I'm not really sure. I mean, me personally, no. Only you. But with the beast...once it...um..."
Lucy suddenly covered her mouth in horror. "The beast raped another girl?"
"No...I don't think so," he added. "I told it not to, but there was one time...it wasn't a girl..."
"Oh God, it raped a boy?" she shouted, remembering what the beast had tried to do to Gray.
"No! But...well..." His stomach twisted sickly. "I'm not a hundred percent sure, since I wasn't conscious. I only sensed what it wanted to do before blacking out, so I don't know if it did it or not, but...I think it was a...a sheep."
Lucy retreated a few steps. "It said something about that. I didn't think it'd really...oh...oh God." She turned away and covered her mouth before she could vomit. She had not meant to react so drastically, but that really disgusted her.
Natsu...and a sheep!
"I don't know!" Natsu shouted in defense. "That's what it wanted to do, so maybe it did. I honestly don't know."
Lucy swallowed hard with her hand covering her mouth. "Oh...okay." She swallowed again, still tasting bile in the back of her throat. "Well, that wouldn't count since it wasn't you in control. Still..." She could hardly help it; she glanced down to his pants. "You bathed since then, right?"
"Oh, hell yes!" he nodded vigorously. "I washed myself over and over, because I just didn't know if it did or didn't, and I didn't want anything disgusting on me. I can't even look at farm animals anymore. Seriously, I would never do that, no matter how desperate I was. I don't blame you if you don't want to touch me again. I feel sick just worrying that the beast might have actually done that, and maybe worse. Maybe that wasn't the only time. Maybe it did attack girls. Or even boys." He cringed, remembering what Gray hinted about the beast's attempt to rape the ice mage. "Maybe it killed someone, although it insists it never outright murdered anyone, just...sorta left them bloody, whatever that means. I...I really don't know. It's so frustrating!" He grabbed at his pink hair in anguish.
Lucy felt sorry for him. "It's okay."
"Obviously, it's not! You look ready to vomit."
"I have to realize that even if it was your body, it wasn't you...not completely you, anyway."
"Oh, trust me, I am definitely not interested in sheep, or anything else but you. The beast just really wanted sex, but I didn't want that, so I said it most definitely could not do it with any girls, but it still wanted to, but... W-why are you laughing?" he shouted.
Lucy had her mouth covered to hide her giggles. "You didn't want anyone but me, huh?"
"Of course not!" he insisted.
"Natsu, at that time, you hadn't actually made love to me yet. Not you, at least."
He blinked in confusion. He had! Or...the beast had. He merely woke up in the middle of it. He realized that in Lucy's mind, that time did not count. She did not blame him for that at all.
"Yeah, but...but I still knew. Even before all this happened, I knew that I only wanted you." He blushed and hid down into his muffler. "That's one thing that still separates me from the beast. It'd rape anything, but I only want you. So long as I know you're the only person I want as my mate, I know I'm not feral. I can't be feral! If that happened, I couldn't be with you, and more than anything..." He paused and looked up to her fervently. "I want to be with you, Lucy. I want to kiss you again and hold you. I want to go on adventures and have fun together. I can't lose to this, because then I'd lose you, and I can't lose you. That's what's keeping me strong right now. You...are keeping me strong."
She knelt beside the prison and placed her hand against the protective runes. Woefully, she whispered, "Natsu..." It broke her heart to be separated from him. Then she firmed up with determination, pulled out the prison key, and unlocked the door.
Natsu's eyes bugged, and he began to scamper back. "Are you crazy?"
"I'm staying in here with you." She stubbornly stood inside the prison cell. "Do you still want to escape?"
"Of course I do," he shouted. "Lucy, this is insane. I'm unstable. You could get hurt. I could escape. I could snatch you away, do horrible things to you..."
"The beast would do those things. I trust you."
"I don't trust myself," he screamed in fear.
"Then trust your emotions."
He stared silently in confusion.
She walked forward, but he scampered back in terror. "Trust that you won't lose me so long as you stay human. If you change once more, you probably won't come back to me. If I can keep you human by staying right here, then it's worth the danger."
"It's not..."
"Because this way, you will realize you can't change. If you change, that beast will hurt me. You won't let it hurt me. I trust that part of you, Natsu. So if I stay here, the potential danger to me will keep you safe."
He shook his head with tears in his eyes. "Don't risk yourself, Lucy."
"It's worth the risk," she said firmly. "How much would you risk for me? How much have you risked in the past to save my life, over and over again? It's only fair that, this time, I risk just as much to save your life."
He was cornered against the stone wall now, nowhere else to escape. He still looked scared, uncertain of his own restraint. Lucy straddled over him, sitting on his lap to hold him in place. She took Natsu's pale, weak face in her hands, caressing the fear out of his brow.
"I trust you, Natsu...because I love you."
Then she leaned in and gave him a kiss. His eyes widened as he felt a surge of desire within him, yet with Lucy's warmth against his skin, he slowly calmed down. Those desires were not the beast's. They were his own. The beast only desired Lucy because he desired her. If he lost his humanity, the beast would still want her, but it would move on, craving any girl as its mate.
He didn't want just any girl, only Lucy!
Fiercely, he grabbed her around the waist and yanked her to him. Lucy opened her eyes briefly, but Natsu looked the same. This was not the beast clinging to her. It was Natsu himself. She relaxed into the kiss.
"Lucy," he hummed against his lips. "I can't hold back."
She stretched her neck up for him to kiss along the pulse. "I think this is one time when you can let your instincts guide you."
Those narrow sage-green eyes looked up at her, simmering with ardent passion. In a low, lusty voice, Natsu asked, "Can I mark you?"
She gulped hard. The very first attack, the beast had marked her by biting her breast so hard, she would have had horrific scars if not for Wendy's healing. She did not want to believe that the beast that night was Natsu. It had to have been the feral for it to attack so viciously. That was what everyone else theorized, too. Still, she could hardly help but shudder at the painful memory, and she gazed at the sharp canine teeth.
"Do you mean...biting?" she asked in a trembling whisper.
Natsu knew he could have just given her a hickey, but...that wasn't what he really wanted. "Yes," he confessed. "I...want to bite you. I'll try to be gentle," Natsu promised, "but...it'll hurt."
Gulping away her fear, she acquiesced. "Just don't let it show."
He nodded with understanding. Although he wanted his mark to show for the whole world, he would be respectful. He was already asking quite a bit from her, seeking permission for him to mark her.
He loosened Lucy's blouse, pulled the collar to the side, and exposed the curve of her shoulder. He sniffed her skin, and he felt tightness in his pants from just that. He kissed her shoulder, licked it, and listened to her humming with pleasure. Then suddenly his lips pulled back, his teeth bared, and a bit down hard.
Upstairs, amidst the mild roar of a guild brawl, Mira heard Lucy scream. Worried, she slipped away from the bar and trotted down the stairs toward the dungeon. However, as she drew near, she heard more noises.
"N-Natsu..."
"You're mine now, Lucy."
"Please, m-more."
"Can I bite you here?"
"Yes...ahhhhhn."
"What about here?"
"No! That's my breast, idiot."
"Then can I suck up a hickey on your tit?"
"Mmh, yeah...ah. Ahhh! Natsu! Wait, stop...that's too hard."
"I can't stop myself. You taste too good."
"Ah...ooooh...kyaaaa!"
"Does that hurt?"
"No, don't stop. M-more."
"Dammit, don't say that. I'll do something worse."
"It's okay. I need it, Natsu."
"Need it? In a prison?"
"Anywhere. A cave, a prison, anywhere is fine with you. Please, Natsu."
"Oh God, Lucy. You're the animal here."
"Then maybe I should be the one to ravage you."
"W-whoa, hey. Lucy, sheesh, warn me before...ah...oooh! Oh yeah, that's...ahhh! Slow down or I'm gonna...oh wow, yes! L-Lucy!"
Mira blushed and backed away slowly as she heard Natsu moan louder. She put up a little magic barrier that blocked noises, that way they could have some privacy and not alert the whole guild to their play. Then with a titter, Mira raced back upstairs.
Lucy kept glancing at Natsu, just to make sure. When his hands began to wander, they were still soft fingers with short nails. As they pulled each other's clothes off, it was Natsu's body, and she kissed every inch of his hot skin. When she climbed on top of him, shocking him, and gently made love to him right there on the prison floor, never once did his eyes turn red. It was just the two of them.
He did growl when he grabbed her, suddenly flipped them to switch positions, and slammed hard into her, plunging inside roughly, fast, forceful with desperation and high-strung emotions that were ready to snap. He drove her through three shrieking orgasms, one after another, until she felt ready to pass out. Yet never did she see a hint of the beast in his eyes. He was simply wild and aggressive by nature, yet also gentle and attentive.
At the end, when there was the biggest chance that the primal instincts of mating might make Natsu lose control, he pulled out in time and began to frantically rub himself. Lucy realized the issue, sat up, and used her mouth to finish him off. He stroked her hair lovingly, even in the midst of ecstasy.
"L-Lucy! Oh God, Lucy...is it...o-okay?"
She hummed her response, and the vibrations of her mouth sent him over the edge.
She was...amazing! She was the only person in the world who could make him feel like his soul was on fire.
He gazed down at her messy lips, and to thank her, he kissed her firmly. Then Natsu pulled Lucy into his arms and curled his body around her in a possessive hug. They laid on old blankets, their clothes for pillows, the chill of the dungeon around them, but the two of them were too happy to care.
Simply making love like this felt like a victory.
Eventually, they drifted into a weary nap, still naked, still a bit messy, but Lucy never felt cold in Natsu's arms. She had no clue how long they slept together, but when she woke up, he was propped up on an elbow, watching her with a gentle smile of utter happiness. She could wake up to that face for the rest of her life!
"Are you okay?" He tenderly caressed the bruise on her naked shoulder where he had bit, along with other smaller bites and pink ovals where he had sucked her skin.
Lucy nodded in a sleepy post-coital daze and mumbled, "Thanks for being considerate this time."
Natsu chuckled softly as his fingers drifted over her skin. "I might like the idea of having kids, but if you're not ready, I'll be careful."
"See, just by saying that, I know you're still fully Natsu."
He sighed, feeling confidence again. Yes, he was human. The beast was somewhere in the back of his head, purring happily that they got to enjoy Lucy, but it was also upset that the mating got interrupted for such a silly thing as being responsible toward Lucy. So long as he put Lucy's desires before his own, that also made him human.
"Hey Lucy," he said softly, playing with her golden hair. "I know Freed said not to ask this while in prison, and he said there was a proper way to do it. He gave me lots of advice, actually, but...I don't know if I'll even survive through that ceremony."
She rolled around and stroked his cheek. "Don't talk like that, Natsu."
"Plus the ceremony takes a week. I don't wanna wait that long," he whined. "So although he told me not to do this while in prison...Lucy," he said seriously, looking down at her flushed face. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
She laughed bashfully. Asking that while naked and still with his taste in her mouth! What an idiot. "It's a bit late to ask that."
Natsu flinched and shouted, "Aw man, did I mess up again?"
She leaned over his torso to gaze down into his eyes. "Yep, you messed up the order...because I already think of you as my boyfriend."
Natsu paused, confused, but then his face brightened up. "You do? Really?"
She nodded happily.
"Then that means we've been courting this whole week, right?" he wondered.
"Courting?" she laughed. What an old-fashion way of putting it! She guessed it was Freed who called it that. "Sure, I guess so."
"Awesome! So, as soon as I'm out of here, I'm taking you to a fancy restaurant. Oh, but I need one of your rings. Freed said to take one, but I'd feel bad stealing from you, so I just wanna borrow it."
"A...a ring?" she asked, feeling flushed and dizzy.
"Yeah. Oh, and which do you like better: sapphire or diamond? I don't wanna get it messed up."
Lucy turned her head aside. "You're talking about...about an engagement ring, aren't you?"
"Uhh...no! No, of course not, it's...umm...it's...a toe ring, yeah! But...but for your finger and...and carrots. Lots of carrots."
"Natsu," she sighed. Did he really mean carats?
"It's a carrot ring...yeah, that's it."
She chuckled and felt her face burning hot. "Lot of carrots, huh? Was that Freed's advice, too?"
"Yep! He said to make it with as many carrots as I can afford, so...lots of carrots for your...um...toe ring. Because the carrots show how big your love is, so...huge carrots! Lots of them."
"Natsu, you're a really horrible liar," she exclaimed in laughing astonishment. Seriously...a carrot ring? She blushed as she peeked at him. "It's for an engagement ring, isn't it?"
Natsu looked away with a devastated expression, but with just the two of them in the prison, there was nothing else to distract him. "Freed said there are steps I have to take. He taught me the right things to do. He also said I shouldn't hint about the ring, but I wanted to have it ready in case the perfect time came to give it to you. I wanted to be ready and surprise you. I mean, I'm not gonna give it to you as soon as I'm released from here. I need to court you properly," he said decisively. "I just wanna make sure I'm ready. He said I'd know when the time was right. I don't wanna miss that perfect moment just because I don't have a ring with me. So I was gonna buy one and keep it with me all the time until...until...we're both ready and the right moment arrives."
Tears came to her eyes. "You are a real idiot, you know that?" She dived down and kissed him passionately. "I love you!"
Natsu was confused. He thought Lucy would be angry, but instead she looked as happy as if he had already asked her.
So...why not!
"Lucy," he said, holding her cheeks. "I'm messing everything up, but I don't care. You're already my mate," he said, lightly touching the bite mark on her shoulder, where his teeth broke a little bit of the skin, "and I don't want anyone else. You can forgive me, no matter how annoying I get. You laugh even when I do stupid things. I can always fall asleep in your bed, because it smells so good. I'm not going to formally ask you, because...well, because Gajeel said he thinks I might go fully feral before this ceremony thing is over. I don't want to leave you with a lot of expectations. Still, think about it. If I live through this...would you want to marry me? Don't answer yet!" he insisted seriously. "But...just think about it. I'll ask when it's the right time."
"Natsu..."
He put a finger against her lips. "I said don't answer. Just think about it."
"I don't even have to," she whispered with joyful tears in her eyes. "I already know my answer."
"Don't say it! I don't want to mess up asking you."
She giggled. "Then I won't answer yes or no," she agreed, giving in to this game of his.
"Okay," he sighed in relief, but then Natsu pouted. "You're not gonna say no, are you?"
Lucy tittered and shook her head while singing tauntingly, "Not saying!"
"Because really, that would be too mean."
"Then it depends on how you ask me. You're really building this up to be something spectacular, so I expect the best proposal ever."
"Shoot, I just know I'm gonna mess it up."
She laughed and hugged him, cuddling into him despite their dismal surroundings. A life with Natsu, huh? She could imagine it. She had considered things like that before. It would be wild, crazy, never a boring moment with him around. However, she knew Natsu was good around kids. She had seen how well he got along with Romeo when he was a child, and even more now that Romeo was a teenager. He would make a protective father and a loving husband.
She could imagine it...and she liked what she saw in her fantasies.
She rolled around and raised herself onto an elbow to peer down into his face. He still had a pacified smile, and the satisfaction on his face made her want to blush.
"I love you, Natsu," she declared.
He laughed softly, reached up, and stroked her face. "I love you, too, Lucy. Can you stay the night?"
She wanted that, more than anything. To sleep in his arms again, to wake up together...but not in a prison. "I should let you get some rest. If I stay, you probably won't sleep."
He hummed in agreement. "True. I already wanna do it again."
Her eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed. "Already?" she cried out.
He nodded. "But I think I'm too weak. It's been a long day."
"Then I should go. I'll come back in the morning, I promise."
She rose and pulled her slightly wrinkled clothes back on. Natsu rolled onto his side to watch her. Dressed or naked, she was gorgeous, and he wanted her either way. As he pulled his own clothes back on, he kept glancing at Lucy. He imagined her in a wedding dress. She would make the most angelic bride in all of Fiore. He imagined her pregnant, her belly huge with his child. Then he imagined the two of them with many children around, little pink and blond sons and daughters. He wanted that life.
Which meant he had to survive this ordeal. He had begun to lose hope, but now Natsu felt renewed determination. He had to survive, which meant he had to fight the beast within himself.
"Is there anything you want before I go?" asked Lucy.
"Well...it's stupid."
"Oh? What?" she asked in amusement.
He shifted a few times. "Could you...maybe...let me keep your underwear?"
She stared, dumbfounded for a moment, before shrieking, "What?"
"I know, I know, it's weird," he shouted, cringing under the volume of her scream. "It's just...your smell keeps the beast away. When you're with me, he stops clawing to break free. Just your smell is enough to help. Your panties have the strongest smell."
"How do you know what my panties smell like?"
Natsu flinched back, then blushed. "I...sorta...stole a pair from you."
"You...you stole my...panties? When?"
"A few months ago."
"Panty thief!"
"I know, it's perverted, and I always meant to give them back," he yelled. "I just...I...they were..." He sighed and shrank into a ball. "I liked having something that smelled like you."
"Did you jerk off to smelling my underwear?" she asked angrily.
Natsu's pout twisted. "M-maybe...once or twice."
"Sheesh!" she cried out, rubbing the tension in her head. "You're a real pervert."
"I know," he muttered. "Just...never mind. Sorry I asked. It's wrong and stupid and totally gross. Sorry."
She looked back down at him. He sounded so contrite. After half a minute of debate, she reached up under her skirt, deftly rubbed herself to get more smell on, then shimmied the panties down her legs. Natsu jolted up as he watched Lucy carefully tug the underwear down and step out of them. Then she walked over and held them out for him. Natsu gleefully took the panties and snuffled his nose into them.
"Don't do that while I'm still here," she shouted, feeling hot by the idea of Natsu sniffing her underwear. She threatened viciously, "If anyone sees that you have that, I'll throttle you."
"No one will see it," he promised. "I wouldn't want anyone to know you have such cute panties."
"Shut up!"
"With an adorable Kawaii Kitty printed on it. Very fashionable."
"I said shut it!"
He hid the panties in his scarf. "I'll treasure it always."
"No, you'll give it back to me later, along with whichever other one you stole."
"I will, I will," he laughed happily.
She sighed at seeing his face so relaxed again. Then she leaned over and kissed him. Natsu's fingers brushed through her hair, and he inhaled her aroma. When she leaned back, his eyes gleamed and danced with joy.
"Be safe, Natsu."
"I will. Don't let your skirt flip up on your way home."
"I'll pound you in the head if it does."
"That's no fair."
"You're the one who wants my underwear."
"I want all of you."
Those words made her cheeks burn. "I'll be back tomorrow. Hopefully I can see you before this ceremony thing starts up. Will I be able to see you during it?"
"I don't know. I don't really understand it myself, but from what Gajeel told me...no. He can't be disturbed, so we'll be locked away somewhere. Believe me, the thought of being stuck in a room with that metal-head for a whole week is not fun at all."
"Then one more before I go." She leaned over and gave him a final, passionate kiss, committing his taste and the heat of his tongue to memory. Natsu looked overwhelmed. He grabbed her and gave her a deeper kiss, making her moan. Then he pulled away in sexual frustration.
"You better get out of here or I'll ravage you again."
"Maybe I want that," she teased.
"Definitely, I do! But it's getting late. Have someone walk you home."
"I will. Goodnight."
Then she pulled away, locked the jail door behind her, and forced herself to leave without looking back, knowing that if she saw Natsu's sad eyes as she left the dungeon, she would rush back to him.
Mira was still upstairs wiping glasses. There were only a few drunk mages around. The bartender's eyes lit up when she saw Lucy.
"Well, that was a long visit. Erza thought you'd stay the night. She already left. So, how was it?"
Lucy looked at the people passed out on tables. There was no way she could get into any juicy details, even if she had half a mind to tell Mira anything. "I'm going to be really lonely this coming week."
She sighed wistfully. "So cute! Be safe going home. That monster is still out there."
"I know. I'm not taking any chances. I'll go with my strongest guardian." Lucy pulled out her keys. "Open the Gate of the Lion! Leo!"
In a burst of golden light, the celestial Lion appeared with a debonair smile. "Lucy! It's been a long time. I've been worried. Sagittarius said you were out, and something about Natsu being that beast that attacked you."
"No, we think that beast was someone else, but Natsu is affected. I guess a lot has happened since I last saw you."
"Night of the gala," he purred. "Best tango dance of my existence."
That made her smile. "We'll have to catch up. I have a whole week to waste."
They left together. Loke opened the guild door for her, and as she walked past him, he inhaled. A frowned tugged on his face.
"You and Natsu, huh?"
She froze as Loke stepped out and let the door shut.
"You smell like Draco the Dragon when it's his mating season. I'm a Lion, I can smell these things."
"Sheesh, what is up with men sniffing me?" She looked aside bashfully. "Yeah...me and Natsu. It happened a week ago."
"Obviously, it happened again tonight. You're missing your underwear."
She reached down and pulled her skirt closer against her thighs.
"I doubt any normal man would notice, although they might if you hold yourself like that. I'm an expert at seeing panties under clothing, and by the smooth lines, plus the way you're walking, I can tell you're not wearing any."
"Pervert."
"Lucy." He took her chin and tilted it up.
"Kiss me and Natsu will burn you," she warned sternly.
"Nope. I just want you to know I'll still be your Lion and your knight. It's more romantic when the knight's lady is unattainable, right?" he said with a sad, wistful smile. "However, if he does anything to hurt you, it's a knight's duty to slay dragons."
"You'd slay a dragon slayer?" she asked ironically.
"I don't plan on seeing the end result of when a Lion and a Dragon fight, but I will if he hurts you. You're still my master and my friend, and I will forever be your knight admiring you from afar and praying for your happiness."
Lucy smiled, hugged Loke's arm, and let him guide her down the street.
"Can I treat you to dinner?"
"No, Loke."
"Just drinks?"
"You're not getting me drunk again."
"You were sexy the last time you were drunk."
"Shut up, Loke."
"You sound worn out. He must have really..."
"I will send you back!"
"Okay, okay, shutting up." He smiled down as Lucy yawned. "Damn lucky dragon!"
End of Chapter 26
A/N: I've done this with other fanfics, so why not here? When I write chapters, I often record the dialog parts because it's easier to act them out, then write down what I ad-lib. It makes the dialog feel more "real." So this is the proposal scene. I'm just making it up as I go, but it all ended up in the story.

Panties and Kitties: References to "Panty Possession," my prequel about when Natsu stole Lucy's panties. It's also the return of Kawaii Kitty, a fictional clothes brand I made up that competes with Mashima's Heart Kreuz. I've mentioned Kawaii Kitty in many of my fanfics. Sort of a running gag.
Sapphires and Diamonds: Sapphire used to be traditional for engagement rings. The idea that engagement rings must be diamonds began in the 1930s, thanks to the De Beers diamond monopoly's aggressive commercialization. "Diamonds are forever. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. A girl is not engaged unless she has a diamond engagement ring." Just google about diamond alternatives and you'll find blogs filled with mindless sheep insisting "fake diamonds are for fake brides." Ugh, brainwashed idiots! As for me, my wedding ring is a 1.5 carat Moissanite surrounded by ten small diamonds amidst a 14-carat band, five on each side set to an ocean wave pattern, since my husband and I love to go sailing and I'm not that impressed with diamonds. Honestly, I hinted to him that I wanted a sapphire, my favorite gemstone, yet he realized people saw diamonds as "traditional" engagement rings. He wanted to give me a huge stone that'd keep flirting guys away, a sparkling sign that said "Hands off, she's taken!" Moissanites are "meteorite diamonds," more sparkly and cheaper, so with the large "fake diamond" stone and the 10 smaller real diamonds, this ring really shines! And it holds special meaning for me, which is more important than whatever stone you use. (You can see my ring here: http://fav.me/d6o9h4t)
Quotes and Quips: Loke is referencing a famous quote by Tadashi Adachi, "If the lion and dragon fight, they will both die." This quote was featured in my fanfic "Lion's Pride."
Last time Lucy was drunk: see chapter 3.
Last time Lucy saw Loke: see chapter 7.
