One Night

Chapter 8

"Ok," Mrs Hood said, "That's all. Make sure you do your homework." I groaned and she shot me a scathing look, which quickly turned into a smile when she glanced at Levy beside me. I rolled my eyes. Doesn't hate me my arse.

"Are you doing anything tonight?" Levy asked.

"Not sure yet, not much is going on right now. I don't really want to go to the club at full price, and the pub will be a bit dead." I thought out loud, "I'll probably just go home and have a night in, why?"

"Gajeels coming over tonight so I can help him with homework."

"Oh," I thought for a moment, "Have fun."

"Hey small fry," Levy squealed when Gajeel suddenly appeared behind her, and settled his arms on her head. "You ready to go?"

"Can you wait a bit, I need to get a book out of the library."

"I'm going now, I'll see you tomorrow." I announced, walking ahead of them.

"Ok, see you tomorrow, Gajeel get off!" I turned around to see that Gajeel had now wrapped his arms around Levy, effectively trapping her in place.

I hummed as I walked, feeling happy about the day. And good about Natsu, although he hadn't said anything about me calling him my boyfriend.

"Lucy." A figure stepped in front of me, outside my apartment.

"Laxus?" I asked. He took a few steps closer to me. He towered over me, at least two heads taller.

"Lucy." He offered me a small smile, "I see you kept your hair long." Mr Dreyar reached out a hand to touch the ends that just kissed my hips.

"Yeah, well, it's like you say, it suits me better." I tucked a piece behind my ear. His eyes travelled down it and I realised that it was the piece that Natsu had cut. "Why are you here?" I asked him.

"I came to see you." He scratched his head awkwardly. "Mainly to apologise for everything."

"It's fine. You don't need to do that." I smiled faintly.

"And also.." He trailed off slightly before continuing, "I can't get you out of my head. You're all I can think about, and now that I'm no longer your teacher, perhaps we can have a relationship again." He cupped my cheek with his hand, tilting my head so that he could look into my eyes. A couple of months ago that would've made me putty in his hands. The way he looked directly at me and took complete possession of my body would give me more pleasure than I could imagine.

But now...

"I'm sorry." I removed his hand from my face, touching it gently and holding it for a moment. "I've moved on." Mr Dreyar nodded.

"I thought so." He smiled. He stroked the back of my hand with his finger. "Can I have one last kiss? For old times sake?"

"I do-" He didn't give me time to reply. His mouth pressed against mine and I remembered why our bodies were so compatible. But good sex wasn't the only reason I should like someone, even if it helped. I could feel him pressing further, wanting more, and I knew how easy it would be, to submit myself to him. My apartment was right behind us, we could go inside and-

I pulled away from Mr Dreyar, stopping all contact between us, steadying myself on the wall behind me, my breathing heavy. Unconsciously I wiped my lips.

"It was my fault too," I managed to say.

"Thank you for seeing me," Laxus turned away, almost bumping into Natsu, who had suddenly appeared.

"Sorry, mate," He said. Natsu nodded, turning his head to watch him go. When Laxus was out of sight he looked at me.

"Natsu."

"Lucy, I didn't meant to interrupt you." He said monotonously.

"You didn't." I told him, "Can we talk inside?"

"Fine." I opened the door for him and followed him inside.

"That was Mr Dreyar. The teacher you replaced. He came to apologise and then he kissed me without me letting him." I burst out as soon as the door closed behind me, "I promise I did nothing."

"It didn't look like nothing to me."

"Please, Natsu, believe me. It was nothing." I reached out to him. Natsu stared at my hand for a few seconds, before sighing and taking it.

"I believe you." He smiled faintly.

"You do?"

"Yeah." Natsu tugged on my hand to pull me closer to him and cupped my cheek with his remaining hand, "Why shouldn't I?"

"I don't know, I don't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to this type of thing..."

"Well I haven't heard about that." He rested his forehead on mine, "So it doesn't matter." We stayed still for a while, before I broke the silence.

"Why did you come," I asked.

"Because," He moved his hands to my hips and lifted me up, "Because a certain someone called me their boyfriend today."

"Oh, who?" I giggled, kissing his neck.

"I wonder." He started walking towards my bedroom, "But I wasn't aware that I had a girlfriend, so I thought I should come to clear things up." Gently, he placed me down on the bed. I stared up at him, my face starting to become worried.

"Did you not like it?" I asked.

"I did." He started kissing me, "So much for not seeing eachother."

"It's your fault..." I started unbuttoning his shirt.

"I know." Natsu kissed me again, "Forgive me?"

"Of course."

"You did that wrong." Natsu was sat in my bed, peering over my shoulder.

"Well, don't tell me how to fix it." I looked at him, "You can't be giving me any special treatment."

"I should go," He checked the time, "I shouldn't stay over." I rolled over from my stomach and onto my back to look at him. Natsu leaned down to kiss me.

"This is the last time," He said, "No more contact after today." I sat up to look at him.

"Ok," I wrapped my arms around his neck, "Once more before you go?"

"If I do I'll never leave."

"Alright," I sighed, "I don't think I'll be able to stand it."

"It's only a couple of months." He laughed.

"Exactly." I kissed him again, "It's too long."

"Lucy," He pulled away.

"What?" I pouted. Natsu let out a small groan as I pressed myself against him.

"You need to do your work, and I need to go." He moved away from me, "Three months." He kissed me on the forehead.

"Only three months."

I've had that Laxus part written for ages, it was originally going to be in chapter 3, but I decided it would be too early. This update came out pretty soon after the last one, so I'm feeling good about that (mainly because half of it was already written!).

Please vote and comment, I love hearing what you think about the story.

Stay safe and have a good day!
