When Lucy walked up that morning, she did just the same as any other day: starting with her yoga with Plue, eating her breakfast and then taking a bath and getting ready. She knew it would not be exactly the same though, today was the final of the Grand Magic Games of the year x792. However, she had no idea how radically different it would be.

She was late, and she had to run to the arena. She had to do a lot of work to get the position as a reporter for the Sorcerer magazine and she did not want to waste all that because she had overslept. The truth is, she had dreamt of the previous Magic Games, how her team had won against Sabertooth and made an amazing come back to the world seven years after their disappearance. Now, they had disappeared again and they had all left her behind as if she did not mean anything. How could they do that to her? After all they had went through, they had just left! The worst of them was Natsu who did not even say goodbye properly, he had just left a letter on her desk and she had not seen him since then.

She arrived at the arena but was stopped by the two guards who did not want to let her through. She went through her stuff but her pass was nowhere to be found and she had to use different tricks to get through. First, she tried to seduce them. Although she did not practice magic anymore, she had worked as a model for the Sorcerer and she had had to train her body to make it look even nicer than it was. She had continued this training after becoming a reporter, she had discovered that these exercises actually helped her get a hold and understanding on her body. Plus, her breast and bottom were now more supported with the gain of muscle and who did not want to look nicer?
Her bag fell and the pass fell off it, the guards stopped immediately and she pulled her tongue at them:

'I told you I was allowed!'

She heard them complain about her but she was already too far ton understand it. She rushed through the stairs and climbed the steps three by three, allowing herself a break only when she saw Jason. He turned around and exclaims:

'Lucy! There you are!'
'So sorry! I had some troubles…'

They looked at the games in silence. Lucy was so bored; these games were so lame. All of it was so obvious and there was no powerful mage. Fairy Tail was absent, obviously, but somehow none of the other interesting guilds had decided to participate. She breathed out heavily when the last fight was about to start and Jason turned to her. He was completely oblivious to the masquerade and exclaimed:

'Cool! Cool! Cool! That will make an interesting article! Right, Lucy!?'

She looked at him, still bored, and decided to explain:

'It is true that Crexerc is strong. But according to my notes and observation, the members of Skull Milione are stronger. Each of them has at least twice Crexerc's magical power. They just hid it.'

And surely, Skull Milione won easily, surprising everybody except Lucy who had seen better.

But then, the crowd went silent and Lucy straightened herself. This magical power… she knew it.

'No way… this can't be…'

Just as she said it, an incredible heat starting the exhale from a person entering the arena. He was drapped in a black cloth and no one could see him. He was talking to the team down in the area and they did not seem to like it. Lucy bent forward, putting her hands on the burning wall in front of her. She could not believe it, it was just impossible!

But then, just at that moment, the new comer was surrounded by fire and set the whole arena into flames, burning and melting adversaries, walls, and even her clothes!

'Natsu!'

She screamed as she put her arms in front of her to protect her breast. Happy popped out of behind her and flew to her to greet her. She just ignored him and put her right foot on the melting wall in front of her. She had to see him up close, to touch him to know it was him. Screaming his name again to catch his attention, she jumped from the wall, falling in the arena, aiming at Natsu. She spread her arms around her, not caring about her bare breast, so that she could catch Natsu in her arm. She fell with all her weight on him but he was ready and stronger than before. He did not even stumble and caught her in his arms, grinning as she was rubbing her head against his. He could feel her chest against his and blushed when he noticed she was not wearing everything: he had almost forgotten how comfortable she was with her body. She never cared too much about him seeing her. She kept screaming his name in his ear but it just made him smile even more. He put his hand on her head and said happily:

'I'm back!'

She pulled away from him and he quickly pressed on her back to prevent her from going away.

'You don't want the whole arena to see your breast, do you?'

He smiled when she blushed and he undid his cape to tie it around her. She pulled it close tight on her while trying to move away from him but he kept her there, his hand on her hips. She blushed again but this time not out of embarrassment but pleasure. She had been angry at him for leaving like this, terribly angry, but it seemed as if he missed her as well. She put her hands in his long hair and caressed it gently. He reeked of sweat and was burning hot, but she could still not push him away, she was too afraid he would disappear just as easily as he had walked back into her life.

Lucy pushed the door of her home and let Natsu and Happy come in first.

'So, this is where I live. You're welcome to stay here. Just don't make a mess and don't go in my room.'

As soon as she said that they opened the closest in her kitchen and started making a mess, putting food wrapping everywhere.

'Stop that!'

They messed around for a while and Lucy smiled fondly before catching Happy and pulling him in her arms for a hug.

'Lucy! Let me!'

She laughed and was about to tinkle him when she noticed that Natsu was not the only one stinking. She threw him away and he hit the floor.

'Hey Lucy! That hurts! Why did you do that!'
'You stinky! Both of you! Go take a bath right now!'

Natsu was laughing his ass off while Happy kept on complaining about the bad treatment. The blond woman went to her bathroom and bent near the bathtub, turning the taps open. She put her hand under the stream of water, checking the temperature. She could hear the laughter behind her and Natsu's deep and gravelly voice seemed to penetrate her and surround her heart, pressing it in a tight embrace. She put her free hand on her heart. She was getting hot and uncomfortable and she knew it was not the fault of the water. She had felt it before in the arena when her body had pressed again his. She sighted heavily and stood up, embarrassed of feeling like this. She left the bathroom and when to the living room. She knew they probably made a mess and that would probably calm her down. But when she saw them fighting with the pillow in the transformed apartment, even though knew she was supposed to be pissed, all she could feel was joice. Her flat had seemed so empty up until now. She crossed her arms on her chest and tried to look pissed at them.

'I told you not to make a mess!'
'Haha! Sorry sorry!'
'And Natsu, what with the hairstyle?'
'Uhh?'

He put his hand in his hair, as if he were surprised by what she said. So, as expected, nothing was wrong for him. She smiled as she let out a sight and when to her desk to grab a pair of scissors.

'Take a seat, I'm going to cut them for you.' She said as she pointed at a chair nearby.
'What? You? Why not the crab?'
'He won't cut your hair, their too dirty and repulsive.'
'What? You're so mean Lucy!'

She pushed him down on the chair and started cutting the longest parts, putting regularly her hand through her hair to try to make it even. They were soft, and the truth was she wanted to cut them herself because she wanted to touch him again.

'But seriously, since when didn't you take a bath?'

He laughted and she smiled. She could smell him and she knew it was a bad smell. But the truth was, it aroused her. It was a manly smell, slightly musky and sweet. She felt something happening in her and she understood with horror that she was becoming wet. She wanted more of him. She put down the scissors and put both her hands in Natsu's head, putting her head next to his, burying her nose in his hair, she was soaked wet. Happy turned from blue to red, wondering what it was witnessing, while Natsu bent back his head to be nose to nose with Lucy.

'Lucy, what are you doing?'

She blushed just as much as Happy and slapped Natsu with all her strength.

'Natsu you're too closed!'
'Hey you started it! Don't slap me!' he screamed with indignation.

She turned her back on him and went to the bathroom without looking back. He knew she was embarrassed, although he did not know why. He looked at Happy and shrug. The celestial spirit mage came back from the bathroom and told them that the bath was ready. Natsu went there with Happy and jumped in it, throwing his clothes on the floor with no care. It just felt so good to be in a bath after such a long time spent leaving outside. He sank in it completely, wetting his newly cut hair. Happy was telling him a story but he was not listening. All he could think of was the breast of Lucy against his in the arena. And what was that before? Their faces had been so close. Her hands on his head had feel so good.

'Natsu! Don't forget I'm here!' Happy screamed.

He flicked his eyes open, wondering why Happy was uncomfortable. His friend was looking down on him and the pink haired mage did the same understanding why Happy felt he should remind him of his presence. He put both his hand in his crotch, hiding his hard on from his friend. When he looked up, Happy was smiling maliciously.

'Well Natsu… I know we're close but there's a limit.'
'Happy! Please forget it!'
'gngnhhehe…De dekiteiru'*

Natsu send a wave of water to his friend and looked away.

'Shut up, you don't get it!'

After all, he had not seen a woman for so long… and Lucy was attractive. He had noticed right away, her butt and boobs had changed since last year. They were bigger! And firm! He felt a light tinkle in the lower part of his belly and turned red. This time it was Happy who sent him a wave in his face.
They played a bit in the water before Happy turned serious:

'Natsu, I am going to help you.'

*De dekiteiru = our dear Happy used to say that a lot didn't he? if you don't remember, it means 'love is in the air', often translated as 'she/he like her'

So! This is it for my first story published ever! I mean, the first chapter at least! The truth is, I already have the second one there and smut is coming!
