Hey guys! It's your girl YukiMC, back with another fic (after like five years)! It's taken me so long to actually post a new fic for Nalu because I really wanted to focus on WIW, but over the recent years my love and creativity for Nalu could not be contained and I finally thought 'to heck with it' and created something new (actually a couple more things new)! However, in order not to effect my focus on WIW I promised myself only to post new stories when I had them mostly done, and to help with that, I made this fic only two parts and this is the first one.
Don't worry guys, I will be updating WIW soon (actually it's already done, just need to get it edited).
Hope you enjoy!
Warning: This story will contain, violence, angst, and explicit lemons. Reader discretion advised.

Darkness.
A coldness seeping into one's bones like gnarled hands grasping tight to flesh.
Void.
The only light peeking through the balmy room came from the rafters, where large tinted windows sat high on the walls, the glass turned gray from decades of soot and dust, impossible to see through even if one squinted.
Rough cement and the shivering biting cold was all that Natsu knew since his life started. He hated it.
His world was only known to him within these four walls, the unfriendly chill in the air, and the hard cement that pressed into his cheek every night as he laid in his cell. A dusty creaky cage that swallowed his small figure was all he knew to call home.
Every night he slept, he'd wake up to a plate of food, gray and lifeless like everything else in that room, and a cup of water. Desperate for another being's contact, he'd stay up for as long as his young body could, whimpering tiredly when his heavy eyelids threatened to close for good, just so he could meet the person delivering his food. He didn't know of the people or person who kept him there, his young mind not caring if they were good or bad, only needing to see another. Unfortunately, despite his numerous attempts, he was never able to win the battle against sleep and just as always, food and water were waiting for him when he woke up.
Everything changed when she came.
It had been five years after the day he was brought to this place when she arrived.
Five years in a cage with no contact from another life would have made the strongest man crazy, and since he was just a ten year old boy, maybe he was. He had never known a life outside of these walls, or at least no memory of before he was brought to it, but he knew what people looked like, what words sounded like and how human interactions were dealt. After his meal, the only other thing in the room besides his cage and himself sat an aged television that clicked on automatically. A woman with a gentle smile and what he assumed to be a plain face, taught him language, math, human interaction, and customs. The times that the woman brought a colleague onto the screen as an example on how to interact, Natsu would grasp the cold bars of his cell in a similar manner to mimic them.
On the night of his birth, remembering the words from the lady on the screen saying that it was a celebrated day for the human species that resulted with cakes that had candles on them being blown out, Natsu had noted this was the only day of the year that his regular plain food was changed to a cake with the same number of candles for his age that year, did something different happen than usual.
The first sight of what the lady on the screen called 'his master' was shown to him. He had learned about the word, 'deception' the week before and wanted to try it out and see if it would work. His magnificent plan was to act like he was asleep and see if anyone would come out. To the biggest surprise of his young life it did.
His master was tall, taller than he had imagined a human being, if that was what his master was. From what Natsu could tell by just peeking through the tiniest slits of his eyes in the darkness, he could tell his master was a man. His eyesight was better than expected, if only thanks to living his whole life in the darkness and getting used to it. The intruding man had chin length black hair, square rimmed glasses and cold gray eyes, the same color as everything else in the room.
Despite wanting to spring up and call out to his master, beg him… beg him for something… for warmth! Warmth outside of this damned cold. Despite wanting to do just that, his instincts, something deep and hard within his stomach told him to not move a muscle.
It told him that despite this person undoubtedly being his master, and that the woman on the screen told him he should always obey his master, he had a feeling that this person wasn't someone he should like, that they were his enemy instead.
The man moved closer and closer, pace brisk and precise until he reached Natsu's cage. Fear so strong he couldn't stop himself from shivering embraced the young boy, he watched on as the man opened the door to his cage—closed with a heavy pad lock—and knelt down next to him.
The next moment was surreal for Natsu, for his eyes landed on what the man was holding in his arms for the first time. A sleeping girl, or at least what Natsu thought was a girl from the bundle of blonde locks and the sweet decadent smell she gave off that was different from his own and his master's. She was the tiniest thing he'd ever seen in his life, which wasn't in comparison to much, and as his master placed her down on the cold cement ground next to him, he noticed how his unremarkable cage seemed to increase in size and swallow her diminutive form whole.
A heavy slam of the door was all Natsu heard as confirmation that his master was gone once again, the first and only chance he got to meeting him came and went.
Natsu didn't know how he should have felt looking at the peacefully sleeping girl. She was wearing gray rags like he was, her short cropped blonde hair curled loosely around her cherub face. Hidden between her locks, lied snow white floppy ears, and just from the sight of those Natsu knew she was like him. By the looks of her size she had to be half his age. Staring at her, Natsu felt a mix of emotions that he only understood from word of mouth. Experiencing the feelings, surprise, fear, interest, confusion, and anger because this person seemingly had a closer relationship with his master than he ever did, rattled him. The rapid influx of feelings helped him focus less on the cold in the air, for that his was grateful, but being so young, he still didn't know how to process them.
An instinct inside of himself told him to go to the girl and force her to tell him everything she knew about his master to understand why his instincts told him to not speak up when the man made himself known. Crawling over to her until he was completely hovered over her form, Natsu raised his hand, a glare properly in place that he'd seen from his teacher, ready to shake her awake when she did the work for him herself.
Large doe eyes slowly blinked open until the brownest, warmest orbs shone back at him. His heartbeat quickened so fast that he felt short of breath, and a tingling started at his fingertips and zipped straight up his neck to the back of his ears, startling Natsu into a stupor.
The tiny girl yawned, unsurprised by his presence as she blinked at him blearily. "Who are you?"
"N-Natsu." He answered, his young voice suddenly hoarse, the boy bewildered as he lowered his raised hand. At least that was what was written on his rags for clothes. No one had ever called out his name before.
Young Natsu felt like he was drowning in her tawny pools as they dragged his thoughts down like molasses. They widened minutely until they simmered knowingly into a warm hue that heated Natsu's face up with a flush. A small chubby pale hand sprang up from the girl's body. She didn't hesitate when Natsu flinched unknowingly from her, and she grasped tightly to the ratted quality of his shirt.
"Nice to meet you Natsu, I'm Lucy. You're my mate and I'm yours." The girl smiled at him then. Tiny teeth with a few missing lit up the darkness in the room, and Natsu finally discovered a brilliant light, befitting her name. The deep-rooted warmth he felt not only from the smile on Lucy's face but also in the next minute when she pulled him down into a hug and their body heat intertwined, was something he never felt in his entire existence.
Finally, he was no longer cold.
Small hands grabbed onto the fluffy ears at the top of his head and drew a visceral reaction from him. His face flushed against her neck and a contented purr that seemed to resound within his soul left his lips, "Just like me." She whispered before going back to sleep and dragging his complete conscious with her.
From that day forward, Natsu vowed to protect his light and warmth from anything and everything. She was the first thing in this bleak existence to be his and only his. Even at Natsu's young age, that was not something he took lightly. And as the years passed, he found himself progressively more and more possessive of his most prized possession, for she was all he had, and all he would ever need.
The years passed by a little quicker with Lucy by his side. He had found out the day after she was placed in his cell that she was only seven years old, a few years younger than him as he expected, and she used to live in a cell similar to his, all alone until the night she was moved. She told him all that she knew outside of her teachings, the same as he received. The only thing different that she was told, was that a boy with pink hair named Natsu was her intended mate. They had learned that they were hybrid people, part animal and human based purely on the observation of each other. He adored the fluffy bunny ears on her head while also noticing the fluffy dot of a tail on her tailbone. While she recounted the tufts of fur that blended on his head to make amusingly pink fox ears. He'd always noticed his tail, which was long and fluffy, so she didn't have to embellish much about it. But he did notice how she loved to play with it whenever she could. The sensations that she evoked from that were deep and unusual, but he found that he didn't mind them.
Natsu hadn't learned what that word 'mate' meant yet and Lucy only knew that that was what she should call him. They both decided that it meant something similar to 'best friend' or 'family' and decided to roll with it as something they would call each other on occasion.
In that small cell between the two of them, they played, ate, and slept, cuddling together for warmth. There wasn't much to do during the days besides learn, eat, and play so when they had no words to speak, they would just lie next to each other side by side and stare in the other's eyes smiling. Natsu enjoyed this and he could tell Lucy did as well. The activity ignited foreign feelings within each other, most commonly happiness, but sometimes deeper emotions he could not yet name. The two would burst out in laughter if the other made a funny face in between their staring, which led to a lot of goofy face contests.
Bathing came twice a week. A bucket at the side of their cell was filled with tepid sudsy water from a pipe connected down from the ceiling into their cage. They had been taught how to bathe themselves as one of their earliest memories after being able to take care of themselves, so they took turns or washed each other if they were feeling particularly needy for affection on that day, until the water grew cold and Natsu knew to dump it.
The days continued to pass, into weeks, months, and years until Natsu was fifthteen and Lucy twelve. Their monotonous life had changed into something a little more dangerous over the years. The biggest change was that their master no longer stayed hidden in the shadows. He would come with two other large men, sometimes three, to pin them down and take blood samples, cuts of hair, and mouth swabs. A couple of times he'd put them to sleep and transferred them to a bigger cell for their growing bodies. However, the change in size never abated the feeling of it being too small or too big depending on the situation. Then, once a year he would come and take them one by one to get a painful and gut wrenching physical full of tests, including taking bone marrow samples. Sometimes they were separated for days or weeks during these examinations.
After spending every day with each other, being forced to be alone once again, not knowing what happened to the other, brought Natsu to his darkest moments.
After this started happening, Natsu became more and more protective of Lucy. He fought tooth and nail against the men that tried to separate them until he was sedated. The dosage given to him was high to combat his quick metabolism, forcing him to wake up days later in the middle of the night sweating and shaking like crazy as his body tried to get rid of the toxins. Natsu would find Lucy crying over him, shaken from the procedure but still desiring nothing more than to comfort him over herself. He would hold the girl tight in his arms at night, vowing to keep her safe as she whimpered from the pain. No time towards the end of the year was safe, knowing their master would stoop so low as to try and take them at night when they least expected it. He finally understood why his instincts told him to stay away from the man, so he just growled when he entered the room instead.
"Please Natsu, let's get away from here." Lucy cried in his arms one night. The day had been particularly tough. Lucy was growing into a woman and their master said she would have to endure even more tests starting next year. Their master called her their 'Queen,' and insisted that Lucy would give birth to a new species like them and that it was important for Lucy to be as fertile as possible when the time came. She said he had stuck her with a needle that made her joints ache terribly and had a deep pain that sprouted from her abdomen continue for hours afterward.
"Let's go to that place called 'paradise' that teacher said." The blonde girl lifted her head to look at her companion, bleary carob eyes taking in his angry bottle green hues, both of their souls peering into each other in the darkness. Seeing her so distraught and in obvious pain made him squeeze her small body to himself tighter. Just feeling her in this position, he could tell she was developing, as was he. Their master didn't say he had to do any extra tests, only giving him an extra shot than usual that made his stomach hot, and Lucy's sweet smell more potent, but he would take anything Lucy had to do ten times over if just to keep her from crying.
Finding himself relaxing as he stared into her eyes, Natsu snuggled his face into her neck, breathing in the scent of her hair, the effects of his shot making her smell even more alluring than usual. Natsu released a deep rumble from his throat at the familiar warming scent, squeezing the girl tighter when she shivered and mewled pleasantly from it. He could taste the scent of her on his tongue, a flavor more delicious than he was sure of anything he could ever eat. Her bared neck was just begging for him to take a bite, so it was a wonder why he constantly put his face there as some sort of masochistic ritual.
Wiping those disconcerting thoughts away, Natsu knew he couldn't stay angry around her even if it wasn't directed at her. Paired with the unique scent of what he imagined stars smelled like, he felt himself drifting into a whole 'nother world. He imagined himself and Lucy running happily in a meadow with no cages or gray walls in sight.
"I promise to you, Lucy. I will get us out of here." He growled, a promise so earnest he knew he would die if that was the cost to make it come true.
From that day on Natsu trained and exercised in ways their teacher taught them humans did to become strong. Any spare free time they had, Natsu was working out to become stronger, deciding the only time they could get free was when they were being checked by their master. Natsu believed that if he could catch the man and his guards by surprise, he could carry Lucy and hightail it out of there.
Lucy was sad the first month that Natsu spent less time cuddling up to her, but decided later on that she should play her part in getting them out as well. She used the ends of the plastic spoons they were given for their meals to scratch into the cement the exact days until the next checkup as they had never known the exact time before, but surmised there was a pattern. She also watched dutifully to their lessons, taking notes on things she found useful for their escape on the patch of cement covered by their bath bucket. She was able to piece together that there was a city called Magnolia five miles west of the facility, and that was the first place they should go. The last few times she was taken out of the room with Natsu, she was complacent enough that the handlers lowered her sedative dose, so she was able to fight through the sleep meds long enough to mentally route their way out of the building.
The days passed and Natsu and Lucy prepared themselves. As the time grew closer, Lucy felt her unease become greater and greater and Natsu found a harder time keeping her calm.
Then the fire happened.
Having already done procedures to practice their escape, Lucy and Natsu found this to be the opportune chance. Ten minutes after the alarm went off their master alone ran into their room. Peering through the door and into the hall, they could tell the fire was raging. "My experiments, my precious experiments! I have to save them!" Natsu had never seen the man so distraught before; gone was his cold indifference, replaced with messy, stringy hair, cracked glasses, and burnt sleeves.
"Everyone, the rest, they're dead. Had no time…my queen." Their master mumbled, obviously crazed as he struggled to unlock the door to their cage. Natsu had huddled Lucy to the edge of the cage as he always did when the man came, his claws extended and tail straight in the air as he glared at him. When he heard Lucy whimper from behind him a guttural growl escaped the boy as their master finally opened the door.
As they had planned, small fingers placed a hard object in his hand. He felt the sides of it with his thumb, knowing the girl shaved it against the cement on the ground to make a sharp point.
"Come here you, beastly things!" Their master called, clawing at them to get closer to the door of the cage, fed up with them as usual for hiding away when he came. But this time there was an obvious urgency in his voice as the flames raged.
Natsu glared hatefully at the man, tightening his fist around the object in his hand, before sprinting suddenly towards him.
The surprise in his gray eyes filled his vision, until everything was black.
Natsu couldn't remember much from their escape. Either the shock of it all forced amnesia upon him, or he'd shut it away into his memories. All he knew was that their master was gone and that they had escaped the building right before it collapsed.
Standing on the outskirts of the deserted area, they were able to tell that it was a facility of some sort in the middle of nowhere. Later they would find out in the news, that their master had been a rogue scientist on the run from the police, known for doing unethical experiments on human DNA. The one Lucy and Natsu were a part of was found to be his biggest, wherein the man stole dozens of frozen embryos then went into hiding. The police had written his mad experimentations off as completely destroyed with the fire, along with the master himself. Little did they know, Natsu and Lucy were still alive.
With only the teachings of their cell to support them, they turned away from it all, vowing to never look back. Natsu remembered how Lucy crushed her body to him that day. She had cried desperately, thanking him in between her sobs.
Because of her hard work, when they finally reached Magnolia, they had been able to blend into society well enough. It seemed that their master wanted them to go outside eventually as their two-dimensional teacher had taught them how to hide their identity as hybrid humans. Wearing hats and covering their tails became essential to everyday life. Before they had access to those, they had torn their clothes and made them into headbands, and if they ever found clothes hanging on clotheslines in the backyards of houses, they stole those as well.
The first house they came across after weeks of wandering from town to town, was a small colorful cottage deep in a welcoming forest—reminiscent of fables from fairy tales, it held a sweet old lady that allowed them refuge and an overfilled abundance of warm clothes and food. "Is this paradise?" Lucy had questioned that day, gazing up at the warm and happy decorations in the home after they were allowed in, the soft glittering of the open fireplace, and the equally as mystified yet awe stricken look on Natsu's face as they ate from a plate of cookies fresh on the table. The older woman had just chuckled down at the little girl's innocence, noting Natsu's blushing cheeks but just as amazed verdurous eyes. "I sure hope it is." She beamed down at them.
The woman had been living the rest of her days in her family home, finding peace after her husband had died the year before. She quickly grew attached to her runaways, as she was never able to have children of her own. That refuge turned into their home for the next four years. The old woman even made a sign out by the front spiraling trail that lead to the door that said, 'Natsu, Lucy and Granny's House.' When their secret inevitably came out, she only embraced their hybrid qualities with a bemused chuckle. She took care of them and taught them further on how to live life in the real world.
When Natsu turned sixteen, he was able to get a job and support them. Although the woman had enough money left over to take care of all of them on her own, Natsu felt it was the least he could do after she took them in. He worked in a fire department as a helper until they promoted him when he was eighteen to a real on-site job. Even though it was his job to put them out, he enjoyed the warmth from the fire that raged on. His life before had been cold and lifeless beyond Lucy, and it was a fire that started it anew. He felt himself like a phoenix-no a salamander growing from the ashes.
As for Lucy, the old woman had been a writer and passed her love of the craft onto the yellow-haired girl. They spent hours together while Natsu was gone. They would write or read for days as Granny taught her the beauty of their language and ways of communicating the stories from the stars. Granny often times showed Lucy that simply going outside at night and laying underneath the sky to read the effervescent particles of dust could arouse inspiration.
But just like most tales, they come to an end. Granny peacefully passed on like she wanted, four years after their arrival at the sanctuary. It was a sad time for Natsu and Lucy whom had grown to love her like their mother, but it made the pair closer than ever as they experienced a human relationship. They realized how desperately they cared for one another and how they would never want to lose the other.
.oOo.
Lucy looked up from her desk, pausing mid-sentence in the story she was writing when she heard the front door closing from the front hall. Knowing exactly who it was from the smell in the air, the blonde felt her heart speed up and a warmth flutter in her stomach. She jumped out of her seat and sprinted out of the small office to meet the intruder.
At the sight of a pink tuft of hair peeking out of a green beanie, Lucy jumped in the air catching her prey unawares as he was bending over pulling off his boots. "Natsu!"
"Oof!" The intruder groaned, falling with his back against the door as the blonde eighteen year old girl landed on top of him. Seeing nothing but a mess of long marigold hair and snow white bunny ears, Natsu couldn't help but chuckle at her exuberance as she nuzzled into him. "Oi! Can't ya at least wait for me to take my shoes off before you pounce on me?"
"Natsu, Natsu, Natsu! I missed you so much!" She whispered into his neck, soft lips brushing his warm tan skin and the man in question had to hold back a shiver. Feeling her warmth surround him sent a shock to his system that he was home. Getting over the adrenaline rush, he started to realize the weight she pressed onto his lower half and darted his hands to her hips to grasp her firmly.
"Lucy, I'm happy to hear that but get off of me." The pink haired man groaned.
The blonde whimpered, holding him even tighter than before and pressing kisses into his neck.
She felt him tense and grasp her shorts covered hips tighter. The feelings rushing into her from just that one touch, taking her over and sending her careening off a cliff and into a sea of Natsu. His touch was bliss. She knew she was pushing it, but of all people she knew Natsu knew she couldn't help it.
Ever since they had left the facility all those years ago, every year around this time she would get overly affectionate with Natsu and desire nothing more than to be up, under, and around him 24/7, even more so than usual considering they cuddled with each other constantly. Whatever their, habitually named, 'master' had put into her system had made her act like this from then on, the symptoms only growing stronger and stronger as the years passed. Before, when they had lived with Granny, she would help sublimate Lucy with stuffed animals to cuddle and teach her how to write stories and poems to get her mind off the feelings.
Once Lucy turned sixteen, substitutes just didn't cut it anymore. The emotional rollercoaster that resulted from Granny passing away had Natsu lowering his guard when the time of the year came around. He hadn't found the harm in cuddling with Lucy when she became needy and didn't think anything of it when she dragged him into her room to sleep for the night, considering it only as a gesture of comfort for their mourning. He also didn't think much of her begging for him to kiss her on the lips that night. They had kissed there before, only innocently enough when they were in the research facility and their teacher taught them that was how people who 'loved each other showed affection.' They knew they loved each other, so it wasn't a problem. They even continued to do it after they left until Granny had told them it was inappropriate.
Natsu couldn't find it in himself to turn her down that time, and as he thought, that kiss was no more than a lingering peck. He wouldn't see the error in his ways until the middle of the night when he awoke overcome by a raucous heat bathing him in sweat as her tongue was reaching down his throat and she was moaning wantonly as she rubbed her body against him. She was completely naked, and he was without his shirt. Snatching her away from him all he could see was that her matured body had been out and open for his feasting eyes to devour. She had cried out as he detached his lips from her own, body flushed to a healthy glow as she rubbed the sopping slit of her pink puffy folds against his already hardened cock covered in sweat pants. The look on her face wild, the heat in her gaze stoking his own fire to the point he felt like he would combust.
The pink haired boy was panting harshly, overwhelmed by the flood of debauched emotions that distracted him from alarm. Something inside Natsu called for him to claim his mate and 'take her,' but he didn't understand the sudden new feelings and they scared him. With the image of her knees next to her ears and her silken folds spread wide for his angry cock to bulldoze bruisingly into, as he held tightly to the backs of her knees while forcing her to take all of him until she was filled to the brim with his kits, Natsu had thrown her off him and cleared himself out of the room, sprinting out of the house. It was early spring with snow still covering the ground as pretty flowers tried to push through the frost and the dead of night, but Natsu didn't care. He had never been that close to losing himself in his life. The only other time even close to that feeling had been when Lucy's wellbeing was in question at that factory, but compared to the feelings that consumed him to 'mate' with her, that was nothing. A dark voice he assumed to be his baser instincts was screaming in his ears, and he shook his head to clear it.
He had long learned what the word 'mate' meant and what it meant to be each other's mates. That man, their master, had wanted them to create a new race of beings, seeing himself as a God. He wanted Natsu to impregnate Lucy over and over, possibly to the point that she died in childbirth. As they were hybrids it was easier for Lucy to give birth to twins or triplets compared to humans, but her human chromosomes kept her from having a true litter. He figured their master had wanted Lucy to do more tests than Natsu to see if he could up the ante on Lucy's birthing capabilities and truly allow her to give birth to that size.
Since that time, Natsu had been feeling effects of whatever he was shot up with as well. Whenever Lucy had gone through her week of exaggerated affection, Natsu would notice his senses becoming stronger, usually towards her. He would find himself hyper focusing on Lucy in ways he had done innocently before. The sway of her hips, her luscious thighs and how they became fuller at the rise of her skirt, the tint to her cheeks when he smiled his characteristic grin or if he stared intensely into her gaze for too long, the heaviness of her breasts against his chest, or the dip in her back that he loved to touch just at the swell of her rear, the provoking moue at her lips when he teased her, and how she could just sit there, under the light of the sun writing away in her journal as the spindled gold of her hair became burnished under its rays, he noticed everything. It was maddening! When Lucy only suffered for a week and went back to normal afterwards—a few tears of anger from her crazy behavior and overflowing apologies, Natsu's feelings continued to grow and grow without any break in between.
His dreams became filled with Lucy—Lucy, Lucy, Lucy-turning from something normal like seeing her smile when she turned from her cooking enough food to feed an army, towards him, to her standing in front of him peeking under her lashes with that same petulant pout after another jeering thing he'd said, until finally his dreams were filled with nothing but him bending her over furniture or twisting her around to his benefit as he ravaged her until she was moaning and begging for more as he filled her with more and more of his seed. Just constant images of him filling her with his essence and impregnating her with his pups over and over. Over and over again.
Just like their 'master' wanted.
Natsu sighed as he looked down at Lucy, turning her over on top of him until she was laying on the ground with her wrists shackled by one of his hands above her head and he was hovering over her. Despite the heaviness of the moment, when he noticed the disgruntled look on her face, he couldn't help the amused chuckle that shook his form.
Lucy growled at that, "It's not funny Natsu, you know how I get." Her chocolate orbs were serious, a fire burning in them that Natsu was familiar with, enjoying that warmth that filled his heart, but he couldn't help but notice the smell of arousal in the air nor the way the blonde twisted her hips against the ground and rubbed her legs together, completely juxtaposing her angered expression.
"Right." Natsu growled, the amusement was still at his lips, the smirk that flicked the edge of them flashed his impressive canines making him almost look predatory and turning Lucy's insides into mush. The sudden rush of heightened arousal flooded Natsu's precise senses and he pulled back quickly as if Lucy burned him. The overwhelming reaction made his palate go dry, skin tingling sharply and length becoming rigid, parallel to taking a shot of absinthe.
"Nat—!" before Lucy could call out to him, he had already turned his back to her and was walking down the hall to his room.
"Gotta take a shower." Was the last thing he said, his voice a deep guttural rumble before he turned tail and got away from her.
Lucy laid on the floor feeling a sob build at her throat. The burning need at her crotch wouldn't desist despite her sobering emotions. It had been getting worse and worse every year. It was only two days after the start of this terrible week and she was already close to the end stage from last year. She couldn't imagine desire any worse than this! That was, until another memory of last year popped into her mind, remembering that she almost forced Natsu to make love to her while he was sleeping. That desire, need, whatever it was, making her crazed enough that she had unknowingly taken advantage of Natsu's mourning to get him to lower his guard. She had hated herself for that since then.
Lucy sighed, getting up herself and straightening out her clothes. She knew better than to get that close to Natsu during this time but realized she couldn't help it after smelling Natsu had come home after such a long day without him. She had missed him terribly and her excitement had gotten the best of her. Lucy climbed the stairs directly in front of the front door towards her room. Knowing Natsu was probably already in the shower after a long day of work, Lucy decided to change clothes and start dinner for the two of them.
What do you guys think? The next part will be out soon, maybe around next week! As the title states, this fic is about heat. The mood shifts a little dramatically but I really wanted to focus on that theme. Also, there are so many Natsu going through heat fics, why not Lucy? Haha, trust me I got really excited with that premise and it gets even better next chapter. They are hybrids here as well, truly only because I haven't seen much of that besides Natsu being half-dragon (hello, Lucy is always being called a bunny-girl) and I thought it would be an interesting take on the Mating/Heat theme. I was contemplating having Natsu be a dragon here as well, but felt that fox was a little more believable in this world.
Anyways, tell me your thoughts and follow me on Tumblr: YukiMCFFblog if you want more updates on both of my stories or want to bask in Nalu together, I'm a little bit more active there than anywhere else.
