Lucy and Jason

(Jason's POV)

"What happened?" Lucy asked, "You two were doing great, having sex and all, but why'd the Celestial Spirit King take her back?" 

I shook my head, "I don't know." I said, "It's all weird to me too, Lucy." 

She sighed, "I could try to summon her again, but if she did something wrong and angered him....I doubt it'll work." She said, "It's worth a try." 

She pulled out a golden key, Aries's key, and raised it up in the air. 

"Open, gate of the White Lamb." 

Nothing happened. 

"Hm.." I said

"What happened?" Lucy asked me again, "Did she do something wrong?" 

I shrugged, "I wouldn't know." I said

Something fishy was up. As soon as Aries saw the blue screen, she was taken back to the Celestial Spirit world. And what had me confused was how she of all people was capable of seeing the screen. It was definitely odd, I've pulled the screen out in front of so many people and nobody ever noticed it because they weren't able to see it. 

But Aries saw it, how?

Lucy looked at me, "I guess we won't find out until I can summon her again." She said

I nodded, "Yea, I suppose." I said

She then looked down at my crotch, "So..." She said, "You're getting dressed?" 

I looked down at my cock which was still erected. 

"Yea, I guess I should." I said

Lucy nodded, "Okay." She said walking towards the door, "I'll see you later then." 

**********************

"So Aries was taken by the Celestial Spirit King?" Yukino asked me

We were at a restaurant, sitting on one of the tables, eating. Yukino was eating her dessert, a piece of cake while I sat in front of her, still eating my steak. I was too buys thinking of what had happened that I couldn't focus on eating. Lucy wasn't with us, she said she had something to take care of first. 

Something was also up with her, I had to find out what. 

I nodded, "Yea." I said

"That's surprising." She said

I looked at Yukino, "What do you know about him?" I asked

She shook her head, "Not much." She said, "From what my spirits tell me, he's a fair and gentle king." She said, "But I suppose that if a spirit breaks a law, he'll take them back to the world. Celestial Spirits aren't meant to harm the balance of this world. Or at least that's what Ophiucus tells me." 

I raised an eyebrow, "Ophiucus?" 

"Yes." She said, "The 13th Gate Spirit." 

"That giant snake speaks?" I asked

"When she feels like it." Yukino said taking a bit of her cake

I nodded, "I see." 

"What do you think Aries did that made the Celestial King take her back?" Yukino asked me

I couldn't just tell her about the Screen. If it's made itself invisible to others, there must be a reason for that. But even if I tell her, I doubt she'll even believe me. It'll be very hard to explain it or hard for her to understand it. I can't just tell her anything relating to the screen. 

Nobody has ever questioned why I've become so much stronger in such a short amount of time, I'd like to keep it that way. 

"Jason." I heard a voice call out

I turned to see Lucy standing behind me. She had a serious look on her face. 

"Yea?" I said

"Can we talk?" She asked

I nodded, "Sure." 

"Alone." She said 

That does not sound good. 

"Okay." I said

I stood up and walked towards her. Lucy looked past me and at Yukino. 

"Sorry, Yukino, I'll borrow him for a bit." She told her

"It's okay," Yukino said

A couple of minutes later, Lucy and I sat on a bench on the side of the street. 

I looked at her, she had a very serious look on her face. I could tell she has been doing a lot of thinking and there are a lot of things on her mind. I just wanted to know what it was that bothered her. 

"What's wrong?" I asked

"I can't do this, Jason." She said

I raised an eyebrow, "Do what?" I asked, "What're you talking about?" 

She looked at me with a sad frown, "Our relationship." She said, "I can't do it." 

"I see." I said

I knew sooner or later, someone might bring it up. I don't really mind having sex with many women and keeping a sexual relationship with them. But the issue lay in them if they were okay with it. I figured all of them were okay with it.

I mean, I had just made up with Kagura who already said she was okay with it. But I was delusional to think that all of them felt the same. I should've seen this coming with Lucy, I noticed that she had doubts many times. 

This was my fault, my doing. 

"Sorry, Jason." She said, "You're a good person, I'd love to be your friend. But this whole thing....it feels wrong." 

"How so?" I asked

"You....." She said, "You've had sex with many women so far and I doubt you'll stop. I've had sex with you so many times....but....I've never felt anything else than sexual pleasure..." 

I sighed and looked up at the sky, "I see.." I said, "I understand..." 

"There's no emotional connection...." She said, "And ever since Kagura's incident...you've changed....I mean, right now, you seem fine...but I fear there might come a moment where that anger you've repressed....it might just erupt...." 

I looked at her, she had a very worried look on her face. 

"So..." I said, "This is it?" 

She nodded, "I'm sorry." 

I stood up and rubbed my head, "Okay." I said, "I respect your decision." 

There was a brief moment of silence while I stood there, not looking at her. 

"Okay.." She said softly, "I'm sorry, Jason...our times together....I enjoyed them.."

I nodded, "Yea...." I said, "Me too..." 

Suddenly, before either of us said anything. I saw two figures crash in front of us, in the middle of the street. They were two people, covered in dark cloaks. 

"W-What?" Lucy exclaimed

I felt a decent amount of magic power coming from them. 

"Is this him?" one of the hooded figures said

"Yep." the other said, 

"He's the one."
