Chapter 5: The Breaking Point

Following the end of the Grand Magic Games, all the guilds returned home. Everyone continued on exactly has they had before the competition. Everyone, Mirajane Strauss noticed, except Lucy and Natsu. The takeover mage had an eye for relationship troubles. While Lucy and Natsu were never officially together, they might as well have been given how much time they spent with each other. Though, it didn't take a good eye to notice that Lucy and Natsu were hardly together at all these days.

It was an early morning and Lucy sat by herself at the bar. The guild was usually pretty empty at this hour, save for Lucy and a handful of other early birds. Natsu was noticeably missing. Mirajane had been watching Lucy all morning. Lucy didn't tell her, but Mira could tell something was going on with Lucy and that guy from Sabertooth. Mira happened to have spotted the two blonds together this morning while she was getting some supplies. She's kept it to herself since then, but she really wanted to confirm what she saw. It's been a few days since the guild returned to Magnolia, but Mira noted the change in Lucy's behavior around Natsu well before they got back home. It wasn't until today that she happened to spot clear evidence why Lucy was avoiding Natsu so much. The juiciness of all this was killing her!

"Hey Lucy," Mira said, grinning from ear to ear. "Am I correct in thinking that you're involved with someone from another guild?"

Lucy spat out her drink into Mira's face, but the transformation mage was just too excited to care. "H-how did you know?" the blonde asked.

"I saw you two around town today," Mira said with a sly smile. "He's here to visit you, isn't he?"

Lucy blushed and looked away. She was still a little ashamed even though Mira was giving her a huge smile. "…You're not going to say something?" Lucy asked quietly.

"Why should I?"

"Everyone else who knows said something."

"Sting hasn't exactly been kind to Fairy Tail."

Lucy let out a defeated sigh in response.

Mira only chuckled. "Now, now, Lucy. Sting is a cocky bastard and Fairy Tail hates Sabertooth, but that's just rivalry stuff. You're free to be with whomever you like. If you being with Sting were a real issue, then someone would have stopped you by now, right?"

"I guess so."

"Where is the man in question now?" Mira asked curiously.

"He's checking in at a nearby inn."

"I thought you had your own apartment," Mira said. "He's not going to be staying with you?"

"N-no!" Lucy said quickly. "He said he's tired (nauseous) from the trip here, so I won't be seeing him until tomorrow."

Mira nodded happily and continued her work at the bar. Lucy wasn't sure if Mirajane was really encouraging her or if it the takeover mage simply wanted Lucy to be in a relationship regardless of who it was with. It was then that Lucy realized something.

"We're not in a relationship," Lucy said out loud.

Mirajane turned to Lucy. "Hmmm?"

"We're not boyfriend and girlfriend. We just…" Lucy blushed.

Mirajane knew exactly what Lucy meant, but her smile didn't change.

"Don't worry about something like that," Mira said cheerfully.

Lucy turned around coughing on her drink again. Mira doesn't even care if we're in a real relationship!

It was true that Lucy herself didn't mind that she and Sting weren't really in a relationship. It was just easier to deal with: less work, less baggage. When she first started seeing him she imagined their little fling would come and go just as the Grand Magic Games would come and go. When Sting said he was coming to Magnolia to see her (note: he wasn't asking for her permission), she was a little surprised.

Well… the sex was pretty good, so maybe she wasn't too surprised. She had to admit she really enjoys sleeping with Sting. He just knew exactly what to do, where to do it, when to start, when to stop. Was it because he was experienced with women in general or was it because they had a connection on a physical level? Lucy feltlike the latter was the case, though she knew it didn't matter either way.

Lucy decided to she would try talking to Natsu another time, pushing it off for a little longer. She wasn't sure what she would say to him when they did talk, but she's knew they needed to. For now, though, she had Sting to entertain.

Since she and Natsu were not together, so she wasn't obligated to let Natsu know Sting was coming to see her. It wasn't any of his business. That was Lucy's thought process anyway. Whether she realized it or not, she was still trying to keep Sting a secret from Natsu. Even though Natsu must have some kind of idea of what's going on with between Lucy and Sting, Lucy found herself wanting avoid her and Sting's liaison from getting out into the open.

She and Sting weren't even in a real relationship, after all.

That evening, Lucy went home to take a bath and then go to bed. She planned to go see Sting tomorrow after the easy mission she had lined up. She stepped out of the tub, wrapped a towel around her body and walked into her bedroom. She noticed the silhouette of a man sitting on the window to her bedroom. Lucy held her breath in anticipation of discovering who it was. It was entirely possible that it was Natsu. And if it was…

"Oh, it's just you," she said after realizing it was Sting. "Breaking and entering is illegal, you know."

Sting laughed. "If you're worried about prowlers, you shouldn't leave your window open at night."

Lucy walked over to her vanity and sat down to brush her hair.

"I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow because you were feeling sick," she said.

"There's medicine for that kind of thing," Sting replied casually. "Besides, why should I waste time waiting to see you?"

"So that we can take a break, for instance? Don't you ever get tired of constantly having sex?"

Sting could tell by the tone of her voice that her words were partly her trying to reason with him and partly a challenge. Sometimes it seemed like she was testing him on how much sex he could have with her, a challenge he loved to take her up on. Sting walked over to Lucy and picked up her, causing her to squeal with surprise. He sat her up on the table of her vanity while taking a seat on the vanity's chair.

"Can't even wait?" Lucy said with a daring smile on her lips.

Sting tugged on the edge of Lucy's towel, causing it to fall down to her waist. He trailed kisses from the top of her breast, to the crook of her neck, and to the space just below her ear. The smell of burning embers was only faint now. A few weeks ago, Natsu's scent on Lucy had been fairly strong. A satisfied smile donned Sting's lips. "I can never wait," he said to her in a forceful whisper.

Natsu was thankful for the possibility that he wouldn't be seeing Sting anymore now that they were back in magnolia. Natsu imagined that without Sting in the picture, things would return back to normal. Lucy would be around more often and they'd be out going on missions together as they always had.

Unfortunately for Natsu, things did not change in the first few days since they returned. Lucy came around, but not as often as she used to. She was there for missions, but only if Erza and Gray were also there, and only if the missions were short. Otherwise Lucy was gone. She continued to keep secrets from Natsu, which he hated. She continued to avoid him altogether, which he hated even more. What really confused him was that she didn't act as though she hated him or was mad at him. If that had been the case, then he would have done whatever he could to make it up to her. But that wasn't the case. Whenever Natsu was able to speak with Lucy, she acted as though everything were the same. The only difference Natsu could detect was her nervous laugh and how quickly she tried to excuse herself from him.

God, he missed being around her. He felt like a part of himself was missing when she wasn't nearby. That feeling only seemed to get worse as the between seeing her started stretching from hours apart into days apart. It was just weird!

Natsu couldn't take it anymore. He was beginning to feel desperate for her company. He needed to see Lucy soon. He just missed her so much. He decided to go to her apartment. It would be just like old times, right?

By then it was already nighttime. The lights were out in Lucy's bedroom, but the window was still open. Natsu jumped up to the window frame, cautious about the quiet of her room. The smell that wafted from inside the room was distinctly different. The smell of fruit mixed with rum and something else. Something slightly more intoxicating. Natsu's desire to see Lucy became stronger even though a part of him knew what all this might mean.

Inside were the quiet sounds of Lucy's heavy breathing. She was sitting up in bed, her body moving up and down in a rhythmic fashion. She was naked, her body covered in sweat, shimmering against the moonlight. Lucy leaned backwards, moaning in pleasure, body continuing to move. Natsu stared at her large breasts for just a moment. His eyes were captivated by the look of pleasure on her face and the moans that escaped her lips.

She is so beautiful…

Natsu wasn't keeping track of how long he was there at the window watching Lucy. He was in a trance. He'd never seen Lucy like this.

His reverie was broken at the sound of a distinctly male grunt. Sting seemed to emerge out of the mess of sheets that surrounded Lucy. The blond dragon mage pushed Lucy onto her back and-

Natsu decided leave.

The next morning, Natsu tracked Sting down. He followed the scent of spiced rum that invaded Lucy's room the night before to the 8-Island restaurant, which was owned by Master Makarov's old friend, Yajima. Sting was sitting at the bar, possibly waiting for Lucy to be done with her mission for the day.

"Ah, Natsu," Yajima said. "Welc-"

Yajima stopped abruptly upon feeling the menacing air surrounding Natsu as he entered. Natsu walked over to Sting and shoved him off his chair.

Sting didn't have to ask why Natsu was there. Sting could smell Natsu's approach from a mile away. The smell of burning embers was certainly at Lucy's apartment last night.

"What, are you going to fight me?" Sting said mockingly.

Yes, Natsu was going to fight him. He was going to kill Sting as long as no one stopped him. Yajima quietly lead the other patrons out of the restaurant. The old man knew immediately that this was a dangerous situation.

Natsu's body burst into flames as he dashed forward to punch Sting. Sting, caught slightly off guard, jumped out of the way, but only barely. The feathers of his vest were burned off.

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu wailed, sending fire in Sting's direction.

Every muscle in Natsu's body was tense, his mind clouded with rage. God, he wanted to kill him. He was going to kill him. It was the only thought circling in Natsu's mind.

"What's the matter, Natsu?" Sting said. "Why are you so angry?"

Natsu didn't respond to Sting. Instead, he focused on trying to kill that man. Natsu leapt into the air. "FIRE DRAGON'S CLAW!" Natsu's feet ignited with fire as he came down towards Sting with as much force he could muster. Natsu's powerful kick instantly destroyed the floor below him, the flames surrounding his kick began to engulf the walls and ceiling. Again, Sting was able to get out of the way for the most part, but he did get hit fairly hard by some of the debris.

"Are you angry because of what you saw?" Sting questioned again. "I know you were watching us."

Natsu only spat on the ground.

"You're a real pervert, you know that?" Sting continued. "You could have left the second you realized what was happening, but you stuck around to watch. I wonder why that is?"

Natsu threw himself at Sting again. Sting remained on defense, but he did not look overwhelmed.

"Do you need to be near Lucy that much?" Sting asked Natsu, surprised by the anger that was building inside of him. Sting felt the desire to fight Natsu back. Without exactly lingering on why, Sting felt he had something to prove to Natsu. "Remember that I was the one who was with her. Me." Sting jumped back a few paces, ready to attack. "White dragon's roar!"

A white beam was sent Natsu's way. Natsu was grazed in the shoulder, but had otherwise dodged it. The rest of the beam sliced through the columns of the restaurant, causing the wall to crumble. The two charged at each other again, exchanging blows. Sting was beginning to get serious. The intensity of their attacks was becoming more severe, the damage to the surrounding area was beginning to increase. The sounds of screams from outside could be heard, possibly collateral damage, though neither dragon slayer was willing to back down.

"Fight me all you want, Natsu," Sting said looking straight at him. "I'm not the bad guy!"

Natsu was beyond reasoning. He stopped listening to what Sting had to say the second he walked into that building. Natsu didn't care. He was going to kill Sting and anything that got in his way.
