Storm And Luna (Fanfiction)

Wanna Go On A Mission?

"Ohoya Minna!" My voice rang out into the guild amongst the other shouts and yells of the fighting or laughter from my guild mates, I grinned widely as I dashed inside my scarf fluttering behind me along with my Sakura hair. Some of the guild members turned to look at me only to smile and shout a welcome or wave to greet me. My name was Luna Dragneel, daughter of the famous Dragon Slayer; Natsu Dragneel, and the Celestial Mage whom collected all 12 keys (and STILL has them I might add) Lucy Heartfilia. I got my Papa's powers though, a true hot head at heart but also a novelist too- I got that from my Mama. I waved excitedly towards the bar where Asuka Cornell was washing out mugs whistling happily, she was one of my closest friends around the guild, she was a few years older than I was but she was a kid at heart and always would be! She looked up from the glass and waved back grinning like she'd just finished a mission and got 1,000,000 Jewels. "Ohoya Luna! Move your butt over here, I gotta talk to ya!" I rolled my eyes at her blunt statement and hurried over, she never was one to skirt around getting to the point. "Whatcha got for me Asuka-chan?" Plopping down on a bar stool in front of her, I watched as she set down the mug and towel before bending over to search through the cabinet below "I know I put it here somewhere..." She muttered to herself before popping back up excitedly, her cowboy hat bouncing on her head as she did so, shoving a piece of paper into my hand she folded her arms and leaned them on the counter pressing her body weight onto them watching me expectantly. Taking the paper I looked down at it reading the scribbled print along it, a grin growing wide across my face with every word "...In need of two strong mages capable of endurance for long hours and willingness to get dirty... Reward... 7,000 jewels?!" My eyes nearly popped out of my head, that was the most I had been offered yet! I mean the request wasn't EXACTLY for me but... 7,000 jewels! Do you know how much food that could buy me?! "Yes yes I'll take it! Sign me up I can handle whatever these assholes throw at me-!" "Ah-ah-aaaah" she had a cocky smirk lacing her pale lips as she wiggled her index finger at me before pointing out something on the sheet, I looked down at the designated point and frowned annoyed seeing the words she indicated "Says right here darlin' you need TWO mages, and you know what that means, Stooorm will come with yooou~" she gushed at me her smirk widening, it was no secret that she had taken over Mira-chan's job of playing match maker in the guild, and currently her target was Storm and I. True, Storm and I do have very good chemistry together, but that doesn't mean we'll date! No way he's my partner, practically a BROTHER to me! I scrunched up my nose and stuck my tongue out at her in a very childish manner "Don't you start up again Asuka! We're STRICTLY partners!" She sighed dramatically and rolled her eyes "I dunno how y'all two can be so damned blind..." She shook her head and plucked the sheet out of my hand "Go and grab your little partner and get back here so I can sign the mission off to ya, I'll hold onto it till y'all get back here" I nodded and stood up pumping my fist into the air "One step closer to S-class!" I cheered and turned running off out of the guild, it was Friday which was family day for the Fullbuster's, they always invited me but I felt more like an intruder on their family moments- plus Storm would get so flustered and embarrassed whenever his mom brought up how my mom used to be her "love rival" for Storm's dad. Though don't get me wrong I absolutely love the Fullbuster's! They're like my second family, I've known them ever since I was born, they helped train me and practically raise me. A toothy grim appeared on my lips as I slipped out of the guild, people calling after me but I was already disappearing down the road.

After about 10 minutes of running I jogged up the pathway to the Fullbuster's house, it was resting on a hill over looking a River that I think Papa and Uncle Gray used to play at. It used to not be running for awhile but with the help of Aunty Juvia they got it flowing nicely again. I smiled and walked up the steps letting my knuckles rap against the oak door; once, twice, and finally a third time before letting it fall to my side. I turned to look back at the mid after noon sun and closed my eyes letting it's heat envelope me. After a few seconds the door opened and I turned around to look for whom opened it. I found the person,but they only reached about my mid calf- actually both the people did. "Hey you two, mind if I come in?" I looked down at Storm's twin brother and sister, Rin and Sylvia, suddenly their blue stormy eyes lit up and they threw open the door running out towards me. In unison they cried out "Luna-sama!" Sylvia ran into my legs hugging the tightly and Rin took a leap off the ground into my arms, I wrapped one around him holding him close and ruffled Sylvia's hair with the other. My laughter rang through the air "I think you two have gotten taller!" Sylvia looked up at me blushing lightly her eyes shining "Really Luna-sama?" Rin on the other hand pouted and folded his arms "Don't make fun of our height Luna-sama!" I grinned at the polar opposites and set Rin onto the ground. Yes he was a boy, but he had a girly name because it's so rare for it to be a boy AND girl twin- they knew one was to be a girl so they planned on two of them. "C'mon Storm-kun will want to see you Luna-sama" Sylvia grabbed my hand and begun pulling me forward- Rin watched her curiously then did the same taking my other hand as they pulled me inside. Moving my leg out I kicked the door close knowing they would forget and smiled letting them lead me down the hall into the living room where I heard familiar laughter filling the air. My heart sped up at seeing my friend, even if I see him every day he was my best friend. Sylvia pulled me into opening as I stood up straight and quite bluntly she pointed towards me and spoke over their voices "Luna-sama is here Storm-nee" he turned around eyes lighting up as they met mine and our smiles couldn't have been more insync. "Ah, welcome Luna-san! We were not expecting to see you" his mother commented and my eyes moved to hers and her kind hearted smile sitting next to her husband who nodded to me with a smile. "Gomen to barge in Juvia-chan, Gray-chan, I had to come and get Storm for the guild. We have a mission lined up for us-" before I could say anymore storm was on his feet and grabbing his jacket. "Let's get moving then, can I go...?" He glanced back at his parents though we both knew they wouldn't be upset. As if immediately they both nodded, though his dad was the first to speak "Take your time, and oy grab some jewels off my dresser and take Luna out for some lunch." If it wasn't for my heightened awareness of Storm- or if I didn't know him as well as I did- I would have missed the brief blush and slight movement of the corner of his lip. It was gone in an instant though, the Fullbuster's- save for Juvia-chan and Rin-kun- we're amazing at keeping a cool attitude and laid back demeanor. It drove me crazy. "Alright, we'll be back later" he was walking towards me waving a hand in a salute gesture slightly above his head, he took my hand and used the other to ruffle his kid brothers hair leading me out. "Bye! I'll see you all later on, and Arigato for the Jewels!" I yelled over my shoulder following my partner without resistance. We moved out the front door with the chorus of their goodbyes following behind us, Storm ignored his fathers offer of money as he was too proud to take it. He'd use his own jewels before taking his fathers. I grabbed the door handle shutting the door behind us and jogged down the steps beside him. "Anxious to leave?" I raised an eyebrow at him and he seemed to snap out of his thoughts looking down at me, shrugging her turned his head back to the front but I saw his smile. "I guess, they were talking about a girl they think I like in the guild." His smile slipped away and I frowned, "Why is that a bad thing? All the girls love you Ice Boy." I poked his side and he smirked slightly "Sure sure.. Now what's this mission you came all this way to save me from family day for?" I blinked at the change of subject and begun thinking about just what it was. "Some rich guy heard about a legend of specials gems that rest at the bottom of some mines... He wants two experienced Mage to go all the way to the bottom of the mines and find them for him, and bring em back. But get this... The jewels reward... Is 7,000 jewels!" I was almost jumping up and down with excitement but he seemed to be analyzing it " "Two experienced Mages"? I'm not too sure Luna... Those mines might be more dangerous than they seem." "Oh c'mon Storm! It's just some dust and rubble- nothing we cant handle! And don't worry, if anything big and scary comes out I'll protect you." I gave him a cocky smirk and he snorted lightly shoving her arm, "Yeah yeah ok I get it hot shot" laughing I moved back next to him "Don't get cold feet" I mocked him but stayed close by him as we neared the guild.

Going inside was a familiar safe haven feeling, Asuka was waiting for us and chatting with Mira-San. She spotted us in a second and grinned waving directing the snow-haired mages attention towards us. "I got him Asuka-chan!" I yelled over the chaos and took his hand dragging him towards the bar "Hi Guild Master Mira-San" I beamed at her and she merely giggled waving her hand "I told you about formalities you two, it's just Mira! Now I understand you two want this job?" She lifted the paper and we both nodded "Yes m'am that's the one" Storm spoke his voice level and kind smiling lightly, not to big to give off utter happiness- but not slight enough to be awkward and forced. "Wonderful! You two can head out first thing tomorrow, I think there's a train at 8 up towards the mountains." She thought over it curiously as if wanting to confirm it to herself "Arigatō Mira, we'll take it!" I grabbed the paper and folded it neatly before handing it to Storm, he gave a soft scoff taking it from my hand. What? He was better at keeping track of things than I was! "Well make sure to catch that train tomorrow!" "We won't miss is Mira" Storm helped comfort her worry with reassuring words, I merely nodded grinning out of pure excitement.

Soon after we were walking towards my house, he always walked me home at the end of the day. My family still lived in the apartment building my mother used to rent from, but they ended up buying the full house from the women whenever she was passing. To say the least she was very thankful to them. I smiled to myself at the old story they told me about our house, my boots scuffed against the cobble stones of the edge of the River walk. Storm held my outstretched hand out of both habit and his own paranoia. I laced our fingers together, one would say they fit perfectly together; "You really need to get out of that habit Luna" he mentioned lightly keeping his gaze fixed on the water watching it shine in the setting suns rays, "What habit? The one of me waking on the edge, or signing us up for things first and asking you later?" I glanced his way and caught a glimpse of his grin and a small laugh at my comment, "Now that you mention it, both you Baka." He let go of my hand and moved it into his pocket continuing forward, I lost balance at the unexpected loss of his hand and threw my arms wildly before regaining it and sighed out in relief, before what he said registered... "HEY!" I dashed after him and shoved him with my shoulder "I am not a Baka! That was rude." I huffed sticking my nose into the air with a brief purse of my lips, he laughed at me and laid his arm around my shoulders "You're right... That just doesn't pinpoint your annoyingness well enough." He winked at me as we walked to the front door before letting his arm fall from around me. I quickly stepped up on the front porch step so we were almost eye level "Yeah yeah say what you will! But you love me despite all that annoyingness!" I stuck my tongue out at him and he rolled his eyes smiling before turning and walking off down the road "Whatever helps you sleep better at night Pinky" "Don't let the frost bite ya watery snowman!" I yelled after him, grinning to himself and he gave me his famous one handed salute goodbye and I slipped inside of the house stretching from my day, tomorrow I had a mission! I silently jumped up and down in the hallway shrieking- with no sound- in happiness.
I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
