Uncharted Territory (Nalu)

🇯🇵30

It was one of those days where Lucy felt lightweight and she did whatever she pleased. She ate whatever she wanted—and had to convince her idiot fiance she is not pregnant for the second time—slept as long as she wanted, and just didn't do anything but stay home all day. And since she didn't have to pay for a new dorm to stay for the year, she had extra money lying around for her own desire. But it didn't interest her like it did any other day.

Natsu was out of the house attending classes leaving her all lonely and alone in the large house. He was supposed to be home soon but how long will she have to wait till he gets home? It was his birthday today, too. He was finally twenty-four and Lucy even had a huge surprise birthday party planned out for him at Fairy Tail tonight which she was excited for.

Natsu hated being noticed on his birthday but how could she let the guy silently celebrate it by himself and a couple of friends?

All he asked for was birthday sex but she can also give him other things along with that.

Other than that, she was completely beat and bored out of her mind. It was worse enough she was home alone—she had to wait a while for the birthday party to even start!

The blonde groaned loudly as she plopped herself against the soft sofa, dangling her limbs as she felt softness brush against her hand. She looked down to see Happy, their adoptive cat slash son, purring and asking for attention. She merely scooped him up, put him on her stomach and went back to groaning.

She stayed groaning and moaning for a good ten minutes until she heard her front door open and shut with an urgent slam.

"God, finally! Natsu I've been waiting for you—Gray? What the—? How'd you get in my house? Why are you half-naked?!" She practically screeched as the half-naked male panted and whipped the sweat off his forehead. "N—no time... No time to explain... I—I need you..."

"Whoa there," Lucy said as she took a step back. "You're attractive and all but sorry, I'm going to stick with Natsu."

"What the—? No! Lucy, I need your help..."

"Help? Help with what?" She asked before millions of bad thoughts rushed through her head. Her face paled and her eyes widened in fear. "I—Is it Natsu? Where's Natsu?! Is he hurt?!"

"No! It's... More urgent than that dumbass."

"More urgent..? What is it then?"

"I need you go to the airport with me, please."

"Why? Is Lisanna coming?!" Her eyes started to light up making Gray pale and shake his head. "N—no... It's worse."

"Then what is it?!"

"My... My brother... Is coming to town."

Firstly, Lucy never knew Gray had a brother and secondly, she didn't know why he was freaking out so badly when he had someone to come and see him all the way from wherever he lived. But those questions were all ignored since he took her and Natsu, since he came in right before they left, to the airport. It was weird seeing Gray so caught-up in something and Lucy had to wonder what was the big idea.

Now there they were, sitting in the waiting area as Gray practically sweat buckets of sweat.

"Can someone please explain to me what's going on? I've been abducted from my house to the airport to meet Gray's brother for what reason? Am I emotional support or something?" The blonde cried out as Natsu snickered. "Don't forget physical support too."

"What—?"

"Gray's brother is a big pain in the ass. They're not related by blood—he was adopted when we were just seven and he was four and we grew up together." Natsu explained as he wrapped his arm around Gray's shoulder who seemed too stressed out to notice the physical contact between the boys.
