"We're finally home!" the pink haired dragon slayer exclaimed as he pumped his fists in the air. The winged, blue coloured cat behind him joined in on his rejoicing with a happy "Aye!" as they walked into the familiar streets of Magnolia. Natsu had refused to take any mode of transportation back to the town, so the journey on foot had resulted in them arriving home late in the evening.

The mage had taken a job a couple towns over and, seeing as her rent had been paid for the month, Lucy waved them off when she had been asked to come along. "I'm sure you can handle it without me," she'd said to the duo. "Just come back safe and sound okay? And don't go too crazy over there!"

Chuckling to himself, he shook his head as he walked through the neighbourhood close to where the stellar mage lived. He'd succeeded in fulfilling one out of her two requests and knew that the moment she'd hear about it, she'd groan in disapproval and blame herself for not tagging along to make sure things went by smoothly. The numerous expressions she might give him then danced around in his mind, causing him to laugh out loud. She's so darn cute, he thought to himself, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"Natsu," groaned his feline companion. "I'm hungry... and sleepy... can't we just go to Lucy's in the morning?" The cat rubbed his eyes, his pace slowing and causing him to fall behind Natsu.

"But I want to see her! She probably missed us a lot," he replied, turning back to scoop up the small cat, images of Lucy sulking about in the guild, slumped over at the bar. "Tell you what," he said, petting his friend's head. "How about you head home first? I'll tell her you were too tired to come and that you'll see her tomorrow. Unless you're not able to go home by yourself..."

Happy quickly flew out of the mage's grasp and hovered near his face. "I'll be okay!" he said happily. Natsu gave a toothy smile as he waved the flying cat off. As he soared further away from his friend, Happy shook his head, a grin plastered on his small face. "He lllliiiiikes her."

Nearing the blonde mage's home, Natsu noticed that there were no lights shining from her window. As he observed, he tilted his head, a small frown appearing on face. "Damn," he hissed, looking around him. He'd forgotten that she'd probably be asleep by now, alongside the rest of her neighbourhood.

He paced for several moments and smiled to himself after deciding it would be a great idea to sleep on her couch and surprise her when she woke up. Sure she'd be upset but he knew she'd be happy to see him in the end. And witnessing Lucy wake up was something he wanted to see.

As he scaled her wall to reach her windowsill, soft noises sounding from her room coupled with an unfamiliar and intoxicatingly sweet scent hit his senses like a speeding train. Taken aback, the dragon slayer's foot slipped, causing him to cuss under his breath.

What was that? Becoming drawn to it, he was determined to figure out what sort of magic Lucy was casting that attracted him so. Hurrying the rest of the way up, he noticed that the noises were in fact Lucy herself. She was... moaning, by the sounds of it. Raising a brow, he propped his elbows up on her windowsill, careful not to make any noise or open up her window to let himself in. He knew if he did either, the spell would be broken.

Natsu's eyes bulged out as his onyx eyes met the bare skin of his partner. Her chest heaved as her swollen lips parted to exhale, her eyes screwed shut and her cheeks burning. The Heartfilia princess's hair flared out around her flushed face on her pillow in a golden halo. The Salamander felt his own cheeks begin to burn as he absorbed the image. He noticed how she wriggled around, panting, soft moans escaping her. Hot and bothered now, the mage's eyes followed her arm down her figure, her hand disappearing between her creamy thighs.

"D-Damn..." he hissed under his breath, he could feel his body heat rise, his nether region twitching with want. Fighting to keep his place on the side of her home, he shut his eyes, forcing himself to concentrate on something less distracting so that he could avoid causing a ruckus. Unfortunately for him, his heightened hearing now focused in on her voice, causing the mage's mouth to hang open. Hearing her was definitely just as distracting as seeing her.

"N-Natsu..." she moaned softly, her sweet voice dripping with ecstasy. "T-Touch... me... yes... mmm..." Her breathing came out uneven and heavy accompanied by numerous sighs of pleasure. The dragon slayer bit his lip as he continued to listen in, hearing his name drip from her plump lips several times as she moved. Her pleasurable noises paused for a moment, the noises made by her bed frame indicating movement.

He opened an eye to peek at her and see what she was doing. Natsu gasped as his eyes met her figure which had flipped around. Her round rump pushed up into the air while her face was buried in her pillow, her hand hidden under her body. He watched, stunned, as she ground her hips into what he guessed were her own fingers.

Her breathing came out quicker now, the volume of her voice rising significantly. The sound of his name rushing from her lips alongside the sound of her fluids sloshing against her digits rang in his ears. His nails ground into the wood of the windowsill as he watched her turn her head to the side and scream out his name, her body quivering from her climax. A few silent moments passed before she collapsed back into her mattress, nuzzling her pillow before sleep encased her.

The now aroused dragon slayer released himself from the ledge and dropped down onto the street below him. He glanced up at the blonde's window then back down to the tent in his trousers. He groaned. Lucy is going to pay for this...

"It's been three days," Lucy groaned, her face hidden between her arms as she sat slumped over the bar. Mirajane gave a sympathetic smile. She almost never saw Lucy like this, but when she did, it was almost always because the guild's fire dragon slayer was absent. The white haired beauty gave her friend a pat on her head, comforting her with phrases like, "He'll be home soon" and "He probably misses you just as much". Lucy lifted a hand to wave away her attempts.

As she let out a long sigh, the guild's doors burst open, a blue cat soaring through and receiving several sounds of joy from the guild members. Following him, the well known pink haired Salamander walked in, giving a wave and greeting to his comrades. "Yo!" he called towards the blonde princess.

Lucy's head shot up at the sound of his voice, excitement and annoyance bubbling in her. Pushing herself up off the stool, she stomped towards her partner, her brow furrowed as she stopped in close proximity of his shirtless body. She noticed now that he only sported his usual pants and his sacred scarf, his bare torso practically calling out to her. The celestial mage blushed as she lifted her brown orbs to meet his. Grabbing his scarf to pull him closer, she let out a huff.

"Where've you been?! A job like that should have taken a day or two at most!" her words came out radiating with annoyance and anger, but even so, the young man before her ignored her words and simply gazed into her chocolate brown eyes. "W-What are you staring at me for?!" she stammered, her gaze lowering to the ground. "You're so... so weird..."

"Didya miss me, Lucy?" His voice game out soft and sweet, though the grin on his face was all but innocent. Lucy's eyes darted up back to his, noticing the mischievous expression he held. What the hell...

Her grip on his scarf tightened. "O-Of course I did, idiot... It gets lonely when you and Happy aren't around..." Natsu made clicking noises as he shook his head. Lucy tilted her own, giving a quizzical look to the mage.

"I meant, did you miss me, Lucy?" Instantly, she felt intense warmth on either side of her waist. Her eyes glanced down and noticed his hands were now pressed to her. What the hell was is idiot doing?! She glanced back up and shook her head slowly, her hands sweating as she held onto the fabric of his scarf.

Not caring that the whole guild was watching and listening in on their exchange, Natsu lowered his head, his lips parallel to her flushed ear. "Are you sure?" he whispered huskily. "Sure sounded like you did last night."

Lucy felt herself freeze under him, her eyes widening as her mouth hung agape. Finally letting go of him, she backed away, holding up a shaky finger at him. "Y-You...!" Letting out a shriek, the blonde mage dashed around his laughing figure and made a run for it out the guild doors. Sprinting home, Lucy felt herself tear up from embarrassment, her whole face redder than a tomato. "I can't believe him!" she yelled as she reached her home.

Back at the guild, Natsu dismissed himself from his questioning peers and made his way out, leaving Happy behind to catch up with the other members, especially Carla. With a smug smile on his face, he made his way back to last night's destination.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Hey guys! I know it's been a while and I'm supposed to be updating that Maid Sama! fic but I'm really caught up with a lot of art related things and I've submerged myself into Fairy Tail quite a lot. I promise to post a new chapter for the other fic, but I'm having a hard time writing it. Looking back to previous chapters, it isn't really going the way I planned.

Will update this fic soon though!
