Chapter Eight: Mine

Authors Note: Adult content below.

Lucy's lips felt puffy and warm. Everytime she looked in her refection on the way home she would concentrate on her bottom lip. Gajeel was definitely a good kisser. He knew exactly where to touch her, to make her body feel like it was on fire. Her legs still felt numb and she felt heat between her thighs.

Reaching her apartment she opened the door and brought her luggage to her bed. She put all her clothes in the laundry and started to prepare a bath since she hadn't had one since she started the mission. She wondered briefly if Gajeel thought she smelled bad, not that he gave any indication of it.

Stepping into her bathtub, she let the water relax her sore muscles. Overall it hadn't been a bad mission, she had gotten paid quite a bit, got to know Gajeel A LOT better, and had her somewhat alone time from Gray. She didn't know how she felt about him or Gajeel. But she knew that Levy was right about Gray.

She didn't know if she wanted to clear up the misunderstanding or to just pretend she never saw it. Thinking back on it, it didn't make her heart hurt as much. Seeing that her skin was starting to wrinkle, Lucy got out of the tub and started to dry herself with a towel. Putting on lotion and combing her hair out, Lucy entered back into her bedroom to find Gray sitting on his favorite chair.

"Gray!" She squeaked in surprise. She didn't expect to see him so soon.

"Hey Lucy," Gray said, with a huge grin on his face. "How did the mission go?"

Lucy, feeling a bit awkward in only a towel, headed to her bedroom to put some comfortable clothes on. "How did you know about the mission?" she asked. She quickly put on some black yoga pants and a pink t-shirt.

"Levy told me," Gray said, standing in her bedroom doorway. His grin was friendly but his eyes weren't. Uh oh.

"Hmmm… what else did she tell you?" Lucy hung her towel up and went back to her living room, Gray following her.

"That you saw Juvia kiss me," Gray told her, his smile left his face and he had a rather serious expression on. "I need to explain that"

Lucy nodded for him to go on. She expected her heart to start racing but it didn't.

"She caught me off guard. Honestly it only last two seconds, but I'm glad she did it, do you want to know why?" Gray was standing in front of her, looking down into her eyes.

"Why?" Lucy asked, her throat dry.

"Because I felt absolutely nothing" Gray bend over and quickly placed his lips on top of Lucy's.

Lucy's eyes went wide open and she pushed Gray away. He looked surprised and somewhat hurt.

"I… what do you mean?" Lucy asked, flustered.

"It means, I realized that I'm in loved with you" Gray confessed to her, smiling.

"Gray, I want to ask you something" Lucy looked down at the ground. She wanted to see if Gray was willing to be honest with her, and honestly, her heart felt like it was going to explode.

"Anything"

"That day I was chatting with Gajeel, he said something to me that I didn't catch, but before I could get him to repeat it, you came in and punched him. What did he say Gray? I know you know" Lucy asked looking up into Gray's eyes.

Gray tisked and then sat down in his favorite chair, sitting across from her. He put one of his hands though his hair, as if thinking.

"He said he was in love with you" Gray answered with a shaky laugh. "Can you believe that? The man you tortured you, confessed his disgusting feelings to you"

Lucy was quiet. She didn't know what to say to Gray. Lucy didn't find Gajeel's feelings disgusting, and if anything…

"The mission I went on…" Gray's eyes leveled with hers again as he lifted his head up. "I ran into Gajeel… and we… sort of… kissed" Lucy told him, blushing.

Gray stood up, knocking the chair over. "What?"

"He kissed me," Lucy told him again.

"Did you hit him?"

"no"

"Did you resist him?"

"…no"

"Did… did you kiss him back?"

Lucy looked up at Gray, and felt her heart breaking all over again. He didn't show disgust on his face like she thought she would see. He looked like his own heart was breaking.

Suddenly Gray's hands were on either side of Lucy's chair. His forehead was met with hers and he forced his lips on Lucy's. They stayed like that for a couple of seconds. Lucy didn't resist Gray. She was waiting for the warm butterfly's to come into her stomach. She was waiting for the wetness to start between her thighs, and most of all she was waiting for her body to fire up. But none of that was happening. When Gray pulled his lips away from Lucy's, he refused to make eye contact.

"I'm sorry Lucy… I'm going to need some time away from you" and with that Gray left her house, out of her door and not her window.

Lucy got up the next day feeling lighter. She was a bit upset that her friendship with Gray was currently strained, but she was happy to no longer be confused about where their relationship was going.

Getting dressed, Lucy headed over to Fairy Tail, to tell Mira and Natsu about the mission she had just gone on. She knew they loved hearing about that kind of stuff. She also wanted to tell Mira to keep her mouth shut about her asking about Gajeel's bank statements. She felt anxiety at the thought of running into Gajeel.

Not that Gajeel was anywhere to be found. It was already nighttime and Lucy had finished telling everyone about the mission she had done all by herself. It was nearing midnight and Lucy still hadn't seen Gajeel. She saw peeks of Gray ever so often, but he seemed to be avoiding eye contact with her. Giving up, Lucy went back home, to bed.

The next day was similar, still no sight of Gajeel. It was nearing nighttime and Lucy was leaving the guild to meet up with Levy. She got to the café before Levy did, sat down and read an interesting book until Levy showed up twenty minutes later.

"I'm so sorry Lucy! I got caught up in something" Levy told Lucy when she finally arrived at the café.

"Its alright, come sit down"

The girls talked about books for a while, until Lucy brought up the topic she wanted to really talk about.

"Did you tell Gray I caught him kissing Juvia" Lucy asked.

Levy looked up from the menu, looking embarrassed. "I… was it bad that I did that?"

"Not really, but I'm curious why you did. Its not something you would usually do"

Levy looked around at her surrounding before replying. "It's a bit complicated. I just thought you and Gray looked so good together. I felt upset… that you were upset"

"Is that all?" Lucy asked, feeling that there was more to it.

"I suppose… I was jealous" Levy looked down, letting her hair fall to her face.

"Why would you be jealous?" Lucy was officially confused.

"I guess I realized it a while ago… that I… have a crush on Gajeel" Levy admitted closing her eyes.

Lucy looked away, unexpectedly feeling guilty. She didn't know what her feelings were for Gajeel, but she knew he made her feel amazing with his touch. "I think I like him," Lucy admitted.

"I'm not surprised, Gajeel has changed a lot for the better since joining Fairy Tail. He's actually a really great guy, but an asshole though," Levy laughed nervously.

"I don't know what's going to happen between me and Gajeel, I'm not asking for your blessing, but…" Lucy didn't know what she was actually asking for. She didn't want to lose one of her best girl friends over a guy.

"It's okay Lucy, follow your heart" Levy told her before she changed the subject. Lucy didn't know if she was imagining it or not, but Levy looked like she was almost about to cry.

It had been officially a week since their train station kiss and Lucy still had not seen Gajeel anywhere. She knew a week was a short period of time, but she was getting fed up of always thinking of him. Though she wouldn't admit it to anyone, she was also dreaming of him.

Heading over to Fairy Tail she felt a tug at her wrist and before she knew it, a large hand was covering her mouth. Her back was pressing against a strong chest. Lucy felt butterfly's in her stomach the minute she realized who it was. She didn't struggle as he pulled her away from the crowd.

"What are you doing" She asked after they were deep in the alley way and the man took his hand off her mouth.

"Trying to scare you, it didn't work huh?" Gajeel asked, arching his eyebrows and grinning.

"Hmpt" Lucy replied, crossing her arms.

"Miss me?" Gajeel said grinning and looking out into the peek of the alley.

"Yes"

Gajeel whipped his head in her direction. "Seriously?" Gajeel asked, looking dumbfounded this time.

Lucy nodded her head. Gajeel scratched the back of his neck looking embarrassed. Lucy swore she could see some color coming to his cheeks.

"Did you find the leader of the dark guild?" Lucy asked, not really meaning to change the subject.

"Nope" Gajeel said while he tisked.

"Eh? I thought you were the type of guy that wouldn't come back until his mission was finished?" Lucy asked, fishing for the answer.

"Well yeah I am…" Gajeel's red eyes met up with Lucy's brunette ones. "Your eyes are so innocent" he said in a whisper.

Lucy started blushing, ignoring his unintentional complement. "Then why did you come back early?" She then decided to use the same line that Gajeel had used. "Miss me?"

Gajeel looked at her for a while before he answered. "Yeah" he then stepped towards her, backing her into the wall. He tilted his head down till his lips were almost touching her own, but made no actual contact.

Lucy's, whose cheeks were now a deep shade of pink, felt her heart racing, butterfly's in her stomach, and her entire body felt like it was on fire. She tilted her head up till her lips were touching Gajeel's. She then wrapped her arms around Gajeel's neck. Their kiss was chase, but the fire in Gajeel's eyes told her they were anything but done. He then attacked her neck, sucking and biting softly.

Gajeel lifted Lucy's hips up and she wrapped her legs around his waist while he held her against the wall. She could feel his erection press against her small tummy, but that only made her more excited. Gajeel grabbed and teased her breasts. Before she knew it, her top was ripped off along with her bra. She should have been upset, but instead she was happy to be free of anything that restricted Gajeel's kisses on her body.

She felt the need to have Gajeel's skin on her own, so she took the helm of his shirt and lifted it over his head. At long last, his rough muscular chest brushed against her own. Gajeel was sucking on her bottom lip while also gentle biting it. Her legs tightened around his hips and she brushed her own hips against his roughly. He let out a rough sound and pushed her more against him.

Gajeel made eye contact with Lucy's, his eyes expressed the need to enter her. Lucy nodded wanting him to send her over the edge.

"If we do this, you're mine, got it?" Gajeel asked with complete dominance in his voice. Lucy blushed and nodded.

She felt her panties and skirt fall to the ground, along with the sound of a zipper. Next thing she knew Gajeel was kissing her aggressively, and she knew her bottom lip was going to be bruised up, but dammed, it felt amazing.

She felt his hips connect with her own and she let out noises she didn't even know belonged to her. She always expected her first time to be gentle, with someone whom she knew well and had a healthy balance relationship with. She wasn't surprised that Gajeel was anything but gentle, and she didn't care, he was Gajeel Redfox and he made her reach places of pleasure she didn't even know existed.

Panting, she felt him enter her roughly a few more times and he began to rub her clit. She felt herself orgasm to his touch and she bit down on his neck. Gajeel in return let out an animal noise before he himself came.

They both slide down the wall. Gajeel turned them around so he was leaning on the brick wall and Lucy was against his chest. She looked up to find him staring at her. His eyes were a light red, and there was a small smile on his face, he then kissed her lips.

Authors Note:

Woah. This story started out while I was watching the anime for the first time. It was originally Lucy x Gray because thats who I was shipping at the time. But the minute i saw Gajeel, during the Phantom Arc, I fell in love. I'm really a shipper of Lexy x Gajeel, but after reading some Lucy x Gajeel's stories, i fell in love with them too.

I kind of liked the fact that no one knew who she was going to end up with, not even myself. I hope you are not disappointed.

Reviews: I don't like asking for them, it seems kind of desperate. The best thing you can do for me, is to tell me you liked this story and it was worth your time. That's kind of the best complement a writer can receive. Next is to comment if you can see where there could be any improvements to this story. Thats the whole reason I post these fanficions up, so I can learn and become a better writer.

I left a couple of stuff unresolved on purpose, in case I felt like making an epilogue or continuing this story. But for now, this is it.

The End.
