Author's Notes:
HELLO ALL! Been a looooooong time since I wrote any fanfiction but lately I have been itching to write again. PLUS, Fairy Tail is my fandom crack right now and if I could write every epic saga I have swimming around in my head for Mashima's characters, I would.
BUT, this one will have to do for now...be gentle! It has been a long long while since I posted anything. Also, I am NaLu TRASH so fluff awaits all ye who enter here. Mildly citrusy...if I get enough interest I'll post more juicy bits. :)
Please enjoy! Reviews = updates!
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS! Hiro Mashima does, the lucky dog.

Chapter 1: A Spark
Lucy was on fire.
Her skin felt hot, so hot, burning beneath his hands as they explored every inch of her body. She writhed beneath him, mewling pathetically for more as he growled in response. He was on top of her, his weight between her spread thighs driving her wild. Her breath hitched suddenly as he dropped his head to kiss her neck, trailing down her collarbone towards her heaving chest.
He paused, flicking his olive green eyes up to meet her deep brown gaze. Lucy was panting, blonde hair spread out behind her head like a frazzled halo. She was lying beneath the slender muscled form of the pink haired dragon slayer, the one man she would ever let touch her like this. His slanted eyes asked a silent question, and Lucy licked her lips excitedly, nodding slowly.
He lowered his head to tease her right breast, which was barely concealed by her lacy white and pink bra. He trailed searing kisses along the top, rolling his knuckles across her sensitive nipple. Lucy cried out, her whole body bucking in response. A fanged grin spread across his face, mischievous and undeniably seductive.
"Natsu..." Lucy breathed, spreading her arms to beckon him closer.
He stared at her for a long moment, eyes roving across her body hungrily before he dove in to kiss her hard. Lucy moaned against his lips, hands tangling in his pink hair to pull him closer. She felt a familiar tight coil of pleasure gathering in her belly, matching the heat between her legs. She was close, so close.
"Please Natsu-ah!" Lucy's voice was strained with frustration; he was teasing the edge of her lacy panties now, fingers dancing lower towards the place where her legs met. She hissed in a sharp breath as he twitched the fabric aside.
"Lucy..."
His face was pressed against her neck as he breathed her name, sending shivers down her spine.
She wanted him. She had always wanted him like this. Now he was here, hot and ready for her, hands and mouth and tongue bringing her to the edge of ecstasy. Lucy bucked her hips up to meet his hand to coax him onwards even as a loud crash tore through her thoughts, shattering her fantasy.
Lucy screamed, sitting straight up in her bed, gathering her sheets around her nearly-naked form. Someone had crashed in through her window and landed sprawled out across the foot of her bed. In the shadows of late night, she could barely make out who it was as the figure's head had landed on the floor next to her bed. However, she didn't need too many guesses to figure it out. Not many people leapt through her window in the middle of the night.
Actually, only one specific scarf-wearing idiot did that.
"Natsuuuuu! What are you doing?" Lucy gathered her nerves and yelled at the prone form laying half on her bed and half off of it.
He groaned in response, clearly still recovering from his clumsy landing. Despite her shock, the blonde felt a lance of embarrassment suddenly. She was mortified that Natsu himself had interrupted her steamy fantasy! Lucy felt her cheeks blush furiously and she shook her head, clearing her thoughts of a nude Natsu caressing her.
Natsu still hadn't moved but groaned again, mumbling something Lucy couldn't quite make out.
"What?" She snapped, prodding his leg with her foot, effectively shoving him off of her bed entirely.
He rolled over as he slumped farther down, groaning again as he did so. Lucy studied his face for a too-long second, her heart pounding in her chest. His eyes fluttered slightly but stayed closed, mouth slack but quirked up in a half smile. He was adorable. And Lucy hated herself for thinking so.
Wait, was he asleep? Lucy leaned forward slightly to get a better look at the dragon slayer sprawled on her bedroom floor.
"Seriously? Who breaks into a girl's apartment in the middle of the night and falls asleep on her floor?" Lucy screeched this as she leapt up, launching herself out of her bed to stand over the allegedly slumbering Natsu. She was vaguely aware of how scantily clad she was, only dressed in a white tank top and pink pajama shorts.
Lucy crossed her arms over her ample chest and huffed, glaring at him with all her might. Grappling with her concern for his wellbeing as it warred with her overwhelming rage, Lucy chewed on her lip for a moment. Then, despite her anger, Lucy's soft spot for Natsu's antics had her kneeling next to his head to check his pulse out of sheer habit.
As she reached to press her two fingers to his neck, Natsu's slanted eyes flew open and he grabbed her wrist. Lucy gasped, startled by his sudden movement. She was even more surprised when he sniffed the air much like an animal who has caught the scent of some prey.
He inhaled deeply and jerked his head to gape at Lucy. It was then that she noticed something glassy and too bright about his gaze. He pulled her close, pawing his other hand at her tank top, sniffing all the while.
Lucy's body reacted to the closeness of Natsu's automatically. The heat between her legs leapt up again, her breath hitched and she bit the inside of her lip again with the effort to keep it together. Natsu was acting strangely and Lucy guessed it had a lot to do with the party at the guild hall that night and the scent of alcohol on his breath.
Before she could say anything or snatch her hand away, a deep guttural growl escaped Natsu's lips. His eyes were locked on Lucy and she trembled at the animalistic hunger within those olive orbs. She wanted to pull away, to push him back, but her body had other plans. Natsu yanked on her arm and she fell awkwardly against his chest, breasts pressed firmly against his chiseled pectorals.
"Luuuushy..." Natsu murmured her name, slurring it horribly which served to confirm her suspicion that he was indeed drunk. Drunk Natsu was new, Lucy had no clue what to expect from the already unpredictable dragon slayer. Distracted from her thoughts, Lucy swallowed hard and tried to keep herself from exploding.
Natsu's fingers were lazily tugging at the bottom of her tank top as if he was debating pulling it off of her. Lucy felt dizzy, suddenly very aware of the heat emanating off Natsu's body. He grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled it to his face, inhaling deeply again, eyes fluttering closed as he did.
"Lushy, you smell delicious." His voice was laced with a dark need that spoke to something deep within her. Lucy squirmed against his body, wishing she could be bold like she was in her dreams.
Dream Lucy always knew what to do or say to get things going with Dream Natsu. There was never a second thought, just unabashed passionate dream sex. But this was the real world and the real Natsu and Lucy felt like a deer in headlights. She had real feelings for him, but they were best friends and teammates. How could she let this go on without complicating what they had?
Natsu slowly opened his eyes and bit his lower lip, something Lucy found incredibly sexy. Her panting breaths caused her breasts to heave against Natsu's body and he seemed to notice them suddenly, eyes dropping from her face without even a modicum of shame.
Lucy gasped but didn't move to hide herself, she enjoyed his appreciative stare. It made her skin tingle. She liked when he paid her this kind of attention. In fact, she recalled from earlier in the evening how livid she had been with him for all but ignoring her at the party.
She had been mad, so mad, but now she felt nothing but raw excitement at her proximity to Natsu. The place where his hand was locked around her wrist felt so hot it almost hurt, but Lucy didn't care. She wanted to feel his scorching touch all over her body. His eyes wandered back up to her face, his cheeks adorably flushed, lips parted slightly as he sucked in a shaky breath.
"Why'd you leave the party hmmm?" Natsu leaned forward slightly as he asked this, words still jumbled and clumsy.
Wow, he was much more drunk than Lucy had ever seen him. He must have gotten a little carried away in honor of a certain someone's return from Edolas. Jealousy lashed up inside Lucy suddenly at the memory of why she had left the party.
Natsu had left her alone to go talk to Lisanna, laugh with her, he had even danced with her! Lucy had looked on in thinly veiled horror. She felt so betrayed and ashamed simultaneously. She knew she had no right to be jealous.
After all, Lisanna was Natsu's special childhood friend. He had been devastated along with the rest of the guild when they thought she was dead. Then when they returned from Edolas and Lisanna managed to come too, everything had changed.
Tears stung Lucy's chocolate brown eyes suddenly as she let her emotions wash over her. She wanted to tell Natsu the truth of why she had stormed out of the party. That she was cruelly jealous of Lisanna and had left to go sulk herself to sleep. When that had failed she had attempted to relieve some of her angst-fueled sexual frustration.
And that's where Natsu had tumbled in.
He seemed to sense her sudden change in mood, heck he probably smelled it for all she knew. He dropped her wrist and put both his hands on her smooth shoulders.
"Lushy...don't cry." His drunkenly slurred words couldn't hide that sweet Natsu concern. Lucy sobbed and leaned closer towards him, her body squarely on his torso now. She lowered her eyes to study his chest so as to not meet his intense gaze. Insodoing, she missed the greenish tinge that suddenly spread across Natsu's face.
"Oh Natsu...I'm sorry I ran out. I just..." The blonde trailed off, trying to find the right words. She knew Natsu was drunk and may not remember much tomorrow but she still needed to tell him.
He grunted in response, gripping her shoulders tightly. Lucy took this as encouragement, again missing the way he lurched forward, mouth clenched shut.
"Natsu, I've been wanting to tell you for so long. I just never found the right time. And I know you may not-"
"Lucy! I think I might-" Natsu cut her off with his choked exclamation, gagging on what may have been a sob.
Lucy felt herself get flustered. Could Natsu really be getting so emotional too? Was he going to confess? Her thoughts were going crazy, her heart beating wildly out of her chest. She finally gathered up the courage to slowly raise her eyes to his face.
And barely got out of the way in time as Natsu vomited all over. Lucy's outraged screech echoed into the night followed by the wet sound of Natsu getting sick again.
