Chapter One: The Water Bearer

"How dare you summon me when you aren't in trouble!" Aquarius screeched. In her rage, her tail flopped against the porcelain of the bathtub and the water splashed out on Lucy who was sitting by the edge. "You're taking away my time with Scorpio!"

Lucy coughed several times, wiping away the water that'd been splashed on her face, before getting a grip on her as Aquarius was reaching for her water jug, "No! Aquarius please! I wanted to talk to you about something!"

The spirit paused. She examined Lucy for a minute before drawling, "I'll give you a minute. If it's not worth my time, I'm going back." When Lucy didn't say anything, simply stared at the floor and fidgeted with the edge of her soaked tee-shirt, she snapped, "Thirty seconds!"

"How did you know you liked Scorpio?" Lucy blurted. Her face turned a bright tomato red immediately.

"Eh?" Aquarius leaned forward, crossing her arms and leaning against the edge of the tub. "Are you still such a little girl that you don't even know what a crush feels like?"

"Of course I do!" Lucy went silent. She pulled her knees up to her chest, her hair falling into her eyes. "I mean, I think I do. I was so focused on getting into Fairy Tail that I never considered relationships before and then I was always going on jobs with Natsu. I've never had the time to think about boys besides registering that some of them were cute and now I just..." Her fingers curled tighter around her legs. "I don't know if what I'm feeling is like like or if I'm jut mistaking it for that."

Aquarius leaned her head against her arms and clicked her tongue, "You're such a child." She was quiet for a minute before saying, "It's been a long time since Scorpio and I weren't together so I don't remember much but...I started getting butterflies in my stomach when he was around and talking to him always left me feeling happy. I would feel lonely when he was called away by one of his masters because I wanted to be around him more and if he came back looking hurt I would get angry even though I knew his wounds would heal quickly." She glanced over at Lucy. "Does that help any?"

"A little bit." Lucy gave her a small smile, "You can go back now. I don't want to be the reason you're late for a date with Scorpio."

Aquarius was about to leave when a question popped in her head. "Is it the pink haired kid?"

"What? Natsu?" A laugh bubbled out of Lucy's mouth as she shook her head. "No. I care for Natsu, and Gray, the same way I care for Loke or Levy or you. He's my family."

Something warm settled in Aquarius chest at being called family. For all she argued with her, she didn't really hate the girl.

"Good," Aquarius decided, "he's too reckless for you."

She left before Lucy could get another word in.

As she arrived back in her home in the Spirit World, Aquarius remembered a conversation she'd heard Loke and Virgo having the other day.

The two had been watching Lucy, something that wasn't new for either of them since they were well known for caring the most about their mistress, when Loke had suddenly started screaming. They had been things like 'get away from my princess you lightning bastard!' and 'But Virgo, what if he falls for her! He's bad news, you know!'

Both comments had earned the Zodiac leader a swift kick in the rear from the maiden.

Aquarius wondered Loke hadn't gotten it wrong – if it was Lucy who had fallen in love with the 'lightning bastard' and not the other way around.

E/n: Despite how much I love it, I haven't gotten the chance to write any Fairy Tail fic yet and after rereading the GMG arc, I really, really wanted to write some. Hence came this story.

The story will be relatively short - ten drabbles (one for each of Luce's zodiacs) - and they'll focus on the Zodiacs helping Lucy progress in her relationship with Laxus.

Anyway, in chapter notes: even tho I do ship LoLu a lot, Loke's comments in the end were made more for the sake of a brother worrying about his sisters new big bad boyfriend then jealousy.
