Whats up! I got lots of followers because of the last chapter, so that's good :) I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY FEEDBACK THOUGH! Lol. So im just gonna continue what I'm doing. If you actually like what I'm doing, please leave a review. It helps a lot :D Anyway, sit back and enjoy!
Natsuki woke up to the smell of delicious egg.
"About time you got up!" Cobra yelled from the kitchen.
Was Cobra making omelettes for her?
"How'd you guess?"
Natsu got up from her bed and walked towards the kitchen, rubbing her eyes.
"Good morning, Cobra." she muttered.
"Good morning Natsuki Dragneel."
"Is Happy home yet?" She asked.
"Right there." He said, pointing to the carpet. Happy was rolled up in a ball, with a barely audible snore.
Natsu made her way to the restroom and brushed her teeth.
Happy got up. He flew towards Natsu, getting ready to brush his teeth as well.
"Good morning Cobra..." Happy muttered, still half asleep.
"Good morning Happy." Cobra replied.
The fire dragon and blue cat came back to the dinner table.
"Thanks for cooking breakfast, Cobra." Natsu said.
They all sat down at the couch and chowed down into Cobra's omelette.
Their eyes widened. Cobra covered his ears, getting ready for the reaction.
"OH MY GOD COBRA! YOU'RE AN AMAZING COOK!" Natsu and Happy screamed in unison. They both started shoving food vigorously into their mouth.
"Thanks, but can you both at least try to act civilized?" He muttered.
After they spent half an hour cleaning up after Natsu's mess on the couch, Natsu changed back into her regular black coat and white shorts.
"Cobra! Me and Happy are going to the guild hall!" Natsu yelled.
"Yeah. I'll be there in a bit." Cobra replied. He needed to visit Raven Tail, since Master replaced Gajeel's double agent job and gave it to Cobra. The master thought Cobra's hearing and time with the Oracion Seis would make him a better spy. The Raven Tail guild hall, according to Gajeel, was all the way across the continent.
He walked to the train station and waited. Good thing I don't have motion sickness anymore.
Cobra was on his way to the Fairy Tail guild after he left Raven Tail. He entered to realize Natsu wasn't there. He walked to the table Team Natsu usually always sat at. Only Lucy and Erza were there.
"Hey guys." Cobra waved.
"Oh, hi Cobra!" Lucy said, smiling.
Erza smirked. "Hello, E-"
Cobra shot a glare at Erza, making her stop talking instantly.
Lucy looked puzzled at what happened, and then just shrugged.
Lucy remembered something. "Oh, there's something you should kno-"
"Earlier today, Erza was taking a stroll outside, but got attacked by someone or something. Now you guys are being very vigilant and trying to protect the guild hall." Cobra finished with a smirk.
"Y-yeah..." Lucy's jaw slightly dropped.
"Thanks for the warning, Lucy." He said, smiling.
"Sure... don't mention it."
"Anyway, do you know where Natsu went?" Cobra asked.
"I actually don't know." Lucy said.
"Me neither..." Erza muttered.
"I know." Gajeel scoffed. "Oh yeah snake boy, thanks for replacing me at the double agent thing. It was really starting to get really annoying."
"Uh... you're welcome...?" Cobra said confused.
"Gajeel, where's Natsu?" Erza asked abruptly.
"Salamander and that little girl went with Gray. Their cats went with them too."
"What?" Lucy asked. "Where?"
Gajeel explained the situation to them.
"What!? A real dragon!?" Lucy screamed.
"I don't buy any of it." Gajeel snorted.
"When did they leave?"
"Well, salamander and the others left about 8 hours ago, and Gray left shortly after."
"I'm starting to get worried about them..." Erza muttered. "First the attacker this morning and now this..."
"Well, I should go looking for them. It's almost turning night." Cobra muttered.
"We'll come too." Erza stated, grabbing Lucy by the back of her shirt.
"I am too!?" Lucy squeaked. Erza glared at Lucy.
"Yes ma'am!"
The three were getting ready to leave. "Hey Gajeel?" Cobra muttered. "What did you say her name was?"
"Daphne"
They reached a deserted area.
"What the heck?" Cobra muttered.
"Uhh Cobra? Are you sure this is even the right place?" Lucy asked.
"A dragon slayer's nose is never wrong." Erza said.
"That's weird..."
"What happened?" Erza asked.
"Their scent doesn't go any further than this. It's like they just vanished and this is the last place they were." Cobra explained.
Then out of nowhere, 3 lizard-like men popped up.
"Look out!" Erza yelled.
"Aaaah!" Lucy screamed in fear.
The lizard men were almost robot-like. They were headed towards the girls and the dragon slayer.
"Those were the same things that attacked me!" Erza yelled.
Lucy was flailing around in fear.
"Lucy!" Cobra yelled. "Snap out of it! We need to each take one of the lizards!"
Cobra was fighting his lizard, when he realized they could copy their magic, because it was fighting with poison too. Why weren't they copying his hearing magic, then?
All three defeated their opponents, including Lucy, who apparently summoned Plue to beat her's.
"Don't get your hopes up." Cobra said. "I hear something coming."
Out of nowhere, a giant gray dragon popped up. It had gigantic wings, and had a big red orb in the center. Gray was standing on it's shoulder. Erza and Lucy were gawking at the huge monster. Cobra didn't have time to look stupid. He leaped 20 feet high and landed next to Gray.
"It's about time we settled out differences..." Gray muttered. Cobra went through all his memories in a second understood what to do.
"What are you staring at!?" Gray yelled. "Fight me!"
Cobra shook his head. "If you want this to end well, you have to act unconscious."
Gray looked confused.
"Elfman, Macao, and Wakaba are on their way. Tell them to take you to the guild hall and then explain everything to Master. He'll know what to do."
Gray had no idea why Cobra was trying to help him. "You don't... think I'm a traitor...?"
"Of course not. I know you're doing this because you think it's right. Now hurry, the City of No Sound is counting on us."
Gray smiled softly. "Thanks, man"
Gray went with Elfman, Macao, and Wakaba, and explained what to do.
Cobra landed. Erza and Lucy were still gaping at the gigantic artificial dragon.
"Yes, yes!" A metallic voice yelled from the Dragonoid came. "Alas, the mighty Erza Scarlet shows up! Oh, and what do we have here! Cobra!? From the Oracion Seis!? You would make a fine test subject!"
Erza scowled. She pulled out her sword, getting ready to attack the Dragonoid, but Cobra held his arm out.
"Don't." Cobra muttered. "Natsu's inside that thing. If you attack it, she gets hurt too.
Erza nodded, still glaring at the beast. She sheathed her sword.
Lucy looked frightened. "Then... How do we stop it..?"
"I wish I knew..." Cobra muttered. "She's planning on destroying Magnolia."
"Yes, Yes!" The girl inside yelled through the dragon again. "It was entertaining to hear your plots of stopping me, but I will have to be going now! I have a city to destroy! Dragonoid wings, Activate!"
The Dragonoid's wings released, and was getting ready to fly in the air.
"Damn it... What do we do?" Cobra asked at the other two.
Erza looked at the ground, her eyes meeting each other. "I don't know..." she muttered.
Wendy got up from the rubble, bruised everywhere.
"That's Wendy!" Lucy yelled, dashing towards the little girl.
"G-Guys... you have to..." Wendy passed out.
"Wendy!" Lucy laid the unconscious sky dragon on the floor.
Cobra searched through her memories. He knew what to do.
"First Natsu, now Wendy..." Erza muttered.
"I know how to stop Daphne." Cobra muttered. The other two looked at him with a curious look.
"Erza, you distract the Dragonoid as much as you can. Try to slow it down." Erza nodded, requipping to 'Heaven's Wield' and getting on the Dragonoid before it took off.
"Lucy, you and I are gonna go to the guild hall. We need to warn master of what's coming." Lucy nodded.
"It seems we have a plan of action!" Erza yelled.
Lucy and Cobra started towards Magnolia, while Erza was distracting the Dragonoid.
Lucy and Cobra were walking in the guild hall's direction, thanks to Cobra's nose.
"Uh, Cobra?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah?" Cobra replied.
"Um, I guess you and I haven't really gotten to, you know, get to know each other well. I know you're really close with Natsu and Erza, but that's not really the case with me."
Cobra cocked an eyebrow.
"Look, I know it's weird, but I want to get to know more people, and want people to get to know me."
Cobra shook his head. "So basically, you want friends."
"Well, yeah."
Cobra smiled. "Okay. So, if it's not too personal, where were you born?"
"The Heartfilia mansion." She smiled.
"Cool story, I would've been sold into the Heartfilia Mansion when I was a kid in the Tower of Heaven. You're father obviously thought I was way to weak and useless to do anything."
Lucy's eyes widened. "Wait... you mean..."
"Yup, I've met your father before." Cobra smirked.
"What about my... mom?"
"I'm the same age as you, bright eyes. I think when your father and I met, he was still recovering from the loss."
Lucy nodded.
"Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened to your mother..." Cobra muttered.
She smiled "Oh, it's fine. I've gotten over that a long time ago."
They were getting closer to the guild hall, even though they still couldn't see it.
Lucy's eyes got thin "What's your name?"
Cobra smirked. "Cobra."
"You're real name."
"Sorry, but my real name is Cobra."
Lucy crossed her arms. "I'm not an idiot, okay? I know everyone in the Oracion Seis uses a code name."
"Well, they're code names for a reason. We don't reveal our real names for our own safety."
She clasped her hands together. "C'mon! Pretty pleeeaase?"
Cobra sighed. "Look, if you tell anyone, I will torture you for at least 3 decades."
Lucy nodded. "Yes sir!"
He whispered in her ear. "Erik." They continued walking.
Lucy smiled softly. "Hi Erik."
"Don't call me that in front of everyone. Seriously."
"So that's what Erza was calling you then..." Lucy muttered.
They saw the Dragonoid, but for some reason, it was going the other direction of the guild hall. Apparently Daphne wasn't as bright as he thought.
"So Lucy."
"Yeah?"
"About your book."
Lucy blushed in anger. She put her mouth over Cobra. "I know it's bad, okay!? You don't have to rub it in!"
Cobra removed her hand effortlessly.
"Jeez, calm down blonde. I was gonna tell you that it's actually pretty good."
"R-Really...?"Lucy blushed, smiling. "Thanks, Erik."
Cobra chuckled. "I mean if you want, I could tell everyone what happens to the protagonist at the end."
Lucy glared at him. "If you do, you won't live to see tomorrow!"
"I'm just kidding, you moron."
The wind was starting to get really cold. Lucy starting shivering.
Cobra noticed and took off his jacket.
"Here, use this." He handed her his jacket. "It should keep you warm."
"W-What!? No, I'm okay! It's yours! I'm fine! Really!"
"Relax, you celestial mage, I'm a dragon slayer. The weather doesn't effect me."
Lucy nodded and wore it. "Thanks Erik."
"No worries."
They continued walking, with the city almost visible. The wind stopped, and it was back to normal.
"Hey, Uh, Cobra?"
"What is it?" Cobra asked.
"If it's okay with you, could you, um, come over tonight?"
Cobra glanced at her suspiciously.
Lucy's eyes widened, realizing what she just said. "No! It's not what you think! I was getting bored just living by myself and I promise I won't try anything funny!"
Cobra laughed. "Sure, blonde. If Natsu and Master are fine with it, then sure."
Lucy's eyes filled with joy. "Awesome!"
Cobra shook his head, smiling to himself. Then, he remembered something.
"Hey Lucy? Can I ask you a favor?"
"Yeah."
"Could you summon Aries for me?"
Lucy was confused. "W-Why...?"
"I have some apologizing to do..."
"Um... okay." Lucy pulled out a golden key. "Open! Gate of the Ram! Aries!"
A pink cloud of fluff popped up and Ares emerged.
"Hi Miss Lucy." She said in a super high voice. "How can I help you today?" She noticed Cobra standing next to him, and her face immediately filled
with fear. "No... If he's here, then she must be here too..." Aries rushes to Lucy's side.
"Please don't let me go Lucy! I beg you, please!" Aries whimpered.
"It's okay Aries. I won't let anyone hurt you." Lucy muttered.
Aries nodded. Her fear slightly went away, but she was still very frightened.
Cobra stepped forward, tilting his head down in shame. "Look, I'm sorry for all the stuff Sorano did to you. I know she would abuse you whenever she had the chance, so on her behalf, I apologize."
Aries's eyes met with Cobra's. She gave a small smile.
"I know the scars are still really fresh, but please forgive me. I'm honestly sorry, I could've done something to stop her. I guess I'm sorry for being so... blind..." Cobra muttered
Aries smiled at Cobra. "It's okay Sir Erik. You've done nothing. "
Cobra smirked. "It's just Erik. And tell that to Gemini and Scorpio as well, okay?"
Ares nodded. "I forgive you Erik!" she yelled, leaving to the celestial world.
Cobra turned to Lucy. She was just smiling at him the entire time. "Thanks Erik. My spirits mean a lot to me, so thanks." she said.
"Yeah. Erza's still distracting Daphne. If you haven't forgotten, we have a city to save.
Fairy Tail stops Daphne and her Dragonoid. Later that day, Cobra asked Master and Natsu if he could stay at Lucy's house, and they both agreed.
Outside Lucy's house:
Her apartment was actually pretty big. It was definitely worth it for 70 K jewel a month. He knocked on the door and she came almost immediately. She wore really short jeans with a casual top.
"Hey Cobra." she muttered.
"Salutations, my dear friend and teammate and ally in battle known by the name Lucy Heartfilia."
She blushed slightly and chuckled. "Stop it..." She opened the door all the way, and he walked in.
"Whoa! That smells amazing!" Cobra exclaimed.
"Thanks, I try to keep it clean every now and then."
Cobra walked upstairs and sat on the bed, and Lucy sat next to him.
"So." Cobra said.
"So...?" Lucy muttered.
"What did you call me over for?"
"Well, I'm just bored, to be honest."
"So you're...bored...?"
"Yeah..."
Cobra thought for a while. "Okay, I have an idea. I'll tell you my life story, but whenever you think something's out of place, say false. But every time you say false but it's actually true, you have to tell me a deep secret. And if you don't catch the mistake, you need to tell a secret."
"Sounds fun." Lucy said excited.
"It is. Midnight and I used to play this a lot when we were kids."
"Okay! I'm ready!"
"Oh yeah, one more thing. If you can correct my false statements, I have to tell you a secret, so yeah."
"Got it!"
"Okay. I was born in a forest and was raised by Venomica. Then, Venomica left on July 7th, 777, and I was taken by a farmer, who sold be into the Tower of Heaven."
"False!"
Cobra smirked. "Well done, but can you correct it?"
"You were never taken by a farmer, just taken to the Tower, right?"
"Nope. I was actually taken by a Dark guild. That's where I learned my hearing magic."
"Oh... So... do I need to tell you a secret...?"
Cobra shrugged. "It's okay since you caught that it was false."
Lucy sighed in relief.
"Anyway, while I was in the Tower, Racer was my best friend. He even used to teach me his magic."
Lucy kept listening intently.
"I'm sorry, Heartfilia, but you didn't catch that one."
"Wait, what?"
"Racer never taught me how to use his magic."
"Ohhh. Damn it..."
"Sorry, but rules are rules."
"Fine. My favorite spirit is Plue.."
"You actually have favorites...?"
"Hey, c'mon... It's not like I a full on thing... he just spends a lot of time with me."
"Don't worry, bright eyes, I won't tell a soul."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Lucy smiled in satisfaction.
"Okay, after Brain saved me, I was forced to join the Oracion Seis."
"False. You were kidnapped, not saved."
Cobra gaped. "Wow... You got that one surprisingly fast..."
"C'mon snake boy. Secrets up."
"Fine..." Cobra stared at the carpet beneath his feet. "I know where my dragon went..."
Lucy's eyes widened. "S-Seriously...?"
"Yeah... Also Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy's..." Cobra stared at the ground.
"Then why don't you te-".
"I can't tell anyone. It puts the whole plan awry."
"W-what do you mean...?"
"This is more important than just meeting our parents."
"Well... is it really that big?"
"If I told them, the fate of Fiore would change."
Lucy's eyes widened. "Oh... then why are you telling me...?"
"I guess... I couldn't keep it in me anymore... and I trust you, Lucy."
"Y-you really trust me that much...?"
Cobra smiled softly. "Of course."
Lucy smiled "Well thanks, snake boy." Lucy giggled. They continued in this manner for an hour, occasionally laughing. Once the game was finished, they just talked to each other,
"Hey Cobra?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for, you know, sticking around and stuff. I guess you're a truly gentle soul.."
Cobra's eyes widened temporarily. "It's fine, Lucy. You don't need to thank me."
"Okay. I'm getting tired." Lucy muttered.
Cobra stood up. "I'm sleeping on the couch."
"No! You think I'd let you!?"
"Well, where do you want to sleep?" Cobra said, crossing his arms.
"The bed." Lucy responded.
"Then what about me?" He asked.
Lucy blushed slightly. "The bed. There's space for, uhh, two, so we can both sleep on it. Natsu does it all the time when ever she barges in."
"Oh. Okay." Cobra before taking his spot on the bed.
Lucy blushed even more "The blanket is, uhh, big enough for two people too."
Cobra chuckled to himself. "You don't need to be embarrassed about telling me that. Do you honestly think I'm the rapist type?"
"No! No! Of course not! It's not that!"
Cobra smirked. "Okay then, Heartfilia."
"It's not that... it's just like... a natural response right?"
"I guess." he shrugged
They both got comfy under the super large blanket.
Cobra reflected on his time with Fairy Tail. In two days, he had already saved the city once. He had a crush, a best friend, well, two, of you count both Lucy and Erza, and an entire family of a guild. He was satisfied with his new life. His eyes got tucked himself under the blanket, and drifted off into sleep
Then out of nowhere, Lucy rolled on top of Cobra, putting her full body weight on him, and hugged him with all strength, breaking atleast 5 bones.
Cobra's eyes shot up in response. "What the hell!?Hey! I c-can't breathe! S-Seriously!"
Lucy giggled. "Oh come on! You were a member of the Oracion Seis!. I know you've dealt with worse" Lucy rolled back to her spot after Cobra was actually struggling to breathe.
"What the hell were you thinking!?" Cobra yelled, still recovering from the attack.
"You thought that was unbearable? Then you're done for with this. Kuchukuchukuchu" She started tickling Cobra.
Cobra started laughing insanely. "H-hey! W-what's gotten into you! Haha! S-S-stop!"
Lucy stopped after a while. "Sorry about that. I've always wanted to try that out on someone, but never really got the chance. I guess I had to let out my inner demon for a while."
Cobra smiled devilishly towards Lucy. "So... what were all the things you did to me again?"
Lucy's eyes widened in fear.
'Holy crap... I'm dead aren't I!?'
Cobra placed his entire body weight on the celestial mage and started tickling her at the same time.
"W-wait! Stop! T-this is too mu- HAHA"
Cobra kept going, laughing at her demise.
"P-please! I'm s-sorry! HAHAHA!"
Cobra stopped, still smirking at her.
"Next time you decide to let out you inner demon, just remember that I was a member of the Six Demons for half my life."
Lucy regained her composure. "Yeah no kidding!"
After a couple minutes. "Okay Erik, I think my drowsiness is starting to take over, so don't wake me up unless you need something."
"Will do, Bright Eyes."
The night was starting to take him as well, so he let himself pass out.
Chapter 3 has finished. I know it looked like I was trying to do a lot of CoLu, but I'll make sure that the story is Cotsu. This chapter was more of a way for Lucy and Cobra to become more acquainted with each other(Unless you guys do actually want CoLu, in that case I can write a separate similar-styled fanfic that's pure CoLu.).
Anyways, next chapter is EDOLAS! So stay tuned.
