Lucy Heartfilia.

Name of a Pure.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

H-He hugged me!?

I'm so confused and my heart keeps pounding.

What is this feeling?

It must be because he is my new master. He is also the son of the most powerful man in the world. Any Pure would feel this way.

Fear.

No fear isn't the right word, I'd say more...

Anticipation...

I'm not sure. It was wrong and uncomfortable. Pures and Impures could never be married or in a relationship like that. But raping and affairs are another matter altogether.

Somewhere, dark and buried into the back corners of my mind...

Wishes that he would've leaned in.

What would have happened if he had leaned in? Would I have kissed back? Would he confess? Would we become exiled or Removed? Or would he deny knowing me at all?

I'm thinking way to complicatedly about this, my head is in a swarm and my body feels light.

Without realizing it, I practically bounce giddily to the Servants Quarters and meet a purple-haired maid. She met my eyes and bowed.

"You must be the new Pure servant; Lucy-sama. I am Virgo." She spoke with kindness but her face was completely neutral. No clear emotions except for tone. "Excuse me." She walked off in the opposite direction and came back with a Cute Maid outfit. I looked at it in horror as she handed it to me without hesitation.

"H-How... W-Why.." I blushed madly and looked between Virgo and the outfit.

"You probably should dress yourself in time for the Banquet..."

I thanked her, grabbed the shoulder areas of the dress, pinched lightly between my fingers.

I was blushing uncomfortably as I stripped down to my underwear and slid the dress on. Stepping in one foot at a time, I pulled the dress to my chest and adjusted it slightly. Then Virgo held up a mirror and I stared at my reflection.

I looked...

Skimpy!

Was I a maid or his personal slut!?

I groaned and diverted my eyes away from the mirror. Virgo took the hint and walked out the door, a final glance of sympathy from her.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

I walked outside and met in the Grand Hall with Natsu. I watched as his eyes scanned my body up and down multiple times before gulping. I saw something flash in his eyes. Then he leaned in - just like before - and slimmed his arms around my waist. He whispered directly into my ears,

"That outfit suits you, Princess..."

My heart went crazy. I pulled away.

"W-What y-you idiot! W-What do you th-think I a-am...?"

He smirked and replied, "A sexy maid."

Ok my face is on fire and it's all thanks to him.

Sheesh what a pervert! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!

Natsu let go of me and turned to face a green-haired man in a suit.

He eyed me quickly and turned back to Natsu.

"Freed Justine at your service. Also, who is this, may I ask?"

He eyed me with disgust.

"This is my new Pure Servant."

"Isn't this the one who...?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it, she won't be a bad girl; now will you Luce?"

I gulped and shook my head quickly.

"N-No Master Natsu."

"Very well. Now that this is out of the way, would you prefer pink tablecloth with white napkins, or white tablecloth with pink napkins?"

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

I spent the rest of the day silently standing next to Natsu as he "planned" with the Mr. Freed. He would ask things like;

"Gold or silver?"

Real gold!? Real Silver!? And there is master Natsu over there shrugging his shoulders, replying;

"Whatever pleases Igneel."

Dense Baka! He doesn't seem to know what he has or how lucky he is compared to our kind.

BUT

There was something sad about his tone. The words pleases and Igneel...

They sounded sad and monotone, like as if it was rehearsed. I knew that by shrugging his shoulders, he wanted to ease his discomfort. It was a small gesture, most would see it as him not caring.

But under careful observation, I saw right through his little act.

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

After the planning it was time to relax for a half-hour break and then it would be the Dragneel's lunchtime. Natsu should be in his Study Room by now, I think I might want to ask him about something...

I approached the doors to his Study Room and knocked lightly. Then I peeked my head in. Natsu was up and staring out the large windows in the back.

"Master Natsu?" I walked in and tilted my head. He whirled around looking shocked. I watched jaw-dropped as tears fell down his face. He rubbed his tears away quickly and violently until there was only his red face. He was breathing unsteadily and his dark eyes were locked onto mine.

Uncomfortable silence.

Then I did something I would never imagine I would do in a million years...

I flung myself into his arms and hugged him tightly, causing him to stumble. He hesitated but then hugged me back.

He was warm and sturdily built. Very muscular.

I wanted to stay in his arms forever.

It's cliche but how could you possibly label a beautiful feeling as something so stereotypical?

I felt warm and safe in his arms and I was disappointed and cold when he pulled back.

He leaned closer to my face and I anticipatingly closed my eyes. I could feel the heat of his lips inching closer and closer to mine.

Suddenly Natsu caught his breath and inhaled;

"What are we doing?"

•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

I have grand news my love. My child was born. It's a girl and she is beautiful. Her deep brown eyes, so brilliantly portrayed on her soft face. Her little hands are gentle and fair. I love her. She means everything to me...

I carefully read your letter, every word had many meanings. So answer me this Mr. CEO. Am I your property or your love?
