"So, Lu-chan. Did anything...fun...happen when you were at Natsu's house the other day?" Levy cast her friend a sidelong glance after Lucy walked into the guild with Natsu by her side. Everyone within hearing distance tuned in and waited for the reply.
"Yeah, but nothing that would interest you," Natsu answered for Lucy. The girls looked away in disappointment. Lucy guessed they were all hoping for a juicy story, but all they had done was reminisce about old times and laugh. Lucy glanced over at the framed picture high up on the wall. She giggled, remembering her reaction when she had walked into the guild that day. Now, it just seemed like a faded memory.
Natsu led Lucy over to the bar to order some breakfast. Mirajane understood their silent request and went back into the kitchen to fix them some eggs and bacon. On the walk across the guild hall, guild members were shooting them strange glances and exchanging hushed whispers.
"Don't you guys have work to do?" Natsu shouted irately at their nosy friends. Some blushed and turned away, but they kept stealing glances at the couple.
Mira smiled and placed two plates in front of them. "They're just surprised. Give them time to get used to the idea of our little Natsu having a girlfriend," Mira sighed and covered her face. "God only knows that if it didn't happen eventually, they all would have started to think you were gay, considering how long everyone's been trying to get you two together." She turned and went to work on the dishes in the sink.
Several people at the bar snickered, only to receive a death glare from Natsu. Lucy looked down at her eggs and tried not to laugh. Natsu, gay? Even she wouldn't say that. He was just...extremely oblivious. After taking a few bites of her food and fake coughing, she glanced at her boyfriend. His arms were folded and his face was set in a pout. Lucy laughed and rolled her eyes. It was obvious to her that he wasn't gay, so why was he so upset?
Looking around, Lucy noticed that people were still staring at them and pointing to the picture on the wall. She tried to ignore them, but to her dismay, the whispers and looks continued. Lucy glanced over at Natsu.
"If they won't stop staring, then maybe we should give them something to look at," she muttered under her breath. Natsu's face lit in a mischievous grin. A second before Lucy realized what she had said, Natsu had pulled her into his lap, grabbed her face, and kissed her fiercely.
Lucy heard a collective gasp around them and she felt more stares as she wrapped her arms around his neck. What the hell Natsu? you are way too into this, she thought.
After several of minutes of intense lip lock, Natsu finally pulled away. "Now will you guys please stop staring?" Natsu directed his question across the guild hall. Nobody looked away, and Natsu sighed. "Should we start taking off clothes, Luce?"
Lucy turned red. Was he serious? His words did the trick, though. Everyone turned away scarlet.
…
"Natsu, why didn't you smell Lisanna when she took the picture of us kissing?"
"Well, I was kinda preoccupied." Natsu said, placing a box up on a shelf in the Fairy Tail attic. He shot her a glance. "Don't you think?" Lucy smiled. She guessed that made sense.
That night, Natsu and Lucy had decided to stay at the guild late to look for a potion for Freed. He needed it for one of the jobs he was taking and he had asked them to look for it because he was too busy to go through the attic. Lucy pulled down another box and sifted through it. Hopefully it's in here, Lucy thought. I'm so sick of looking through random boxes.
"Luce, the potion is s'posed to be red, right?" Natsu held up a huge bottle of a reddish potion. She walked over to him and grabbed the bottle.
Anti- Love potion: good for turning off any unwanted girls.
Warning: Do not spray in eyes, mouth, nose, or in any place that may burn or sting. Do not use on males. If spilled, burn all objects within a 10 foot radius immediately.
"Yep, this is the one." She handed the potion back to Natsu. "Hmm. I wonder if Freed has any girl problems."
"I thought the potion was for a job?" Natsu asked with a weird expression as he read the bottle.
Lucy shrugged her shoulders. "He might have just said that."
"I don't know Luce. He doesn't seem like that type of guy."
Lucy stood up and tried grab the potion from Natsu's hands. He smiled mischievously and held it out of her reach. "Natsu," she chided. "If that potion spills, the results could be dangerous." Lucy jumped up and tried to reach the bottle, but Natsu held it behind his back.
"Don't worry Luce. I can burn anything within a ten feet radius." Natsu smiled cockily.
Lucy pouted and attempted to grab it again by jumping. Failing, she tried again and again, but the asshole would not budge. And if that wasn't infuriating enough, he was laughing the entire time.
"Natsu!" She shouted, getting up from the ground after her sixth attempt. "I'm going to get that potion if it's the last thing I do."
"Somehow, I doubt that's going be the last thing you do." Natsu turned the bottle in his hands. Lucy glared up at him. He was so dead when she was done with him. He grinned, accepting her silent challenge. He spread his arms wide, as if to say 'come at me, if you dare'.
Lucy moved forward and tried to disarm with her hands. Natsu was prepared, and grabbed her hand with his free arm and turned her so she was facing him. But then he realized he had just made them extremely close. Close enough to feel her breath on his neck. Shifting forward slightly, he slid his hand into her blonde hair. Lucy saw her window of opportunity. She leaned forward, as if to kiss him, then just before their lips touched she slid her fingers around the bottle and jerked away.
"Ha! I won!" Lucy carelessly swung the bottle in front of his face.
"Using a distraction," Natsu huffed. "So not fair."
Lucy walked over to her purse and slid the bottle inside. "Well, you're the one who got caught off guard." Natsu folded his arms in disgust and turned away. "Natsu, come on. It was fair and square." Lucy looked away for a moment to secure the flap of her bag, only to look back at the saddest baby dragon eyes she had ever seen. She knew then that whenever he used those eyes on her she would be putty in his hands. Who would have thought Natsu Dragneel could make that face? He always seemed so...intense and serious. He must have looked so cute when he was five. Lucy melted and slowly dropped her purse.
Outside, thunder cracked and rain started to drizzle down the sides of Fairy Tail. Natsu's adorable face disappeared and reformed into his devilish grin as he slowly walked up to Lucy. "Now can we kiss?"
Lucy held her breath. His voice sounded so sexy all of a sudden, she thought as he approached her. His finger quickly brushed away a couple of her blonde strands before he tilted her head and kissed her. This kiss was different from the rest, more heated and intimate. Natsu pressed further into her mouth by running his tongue against her lips. Gaining entrance, their tongues battled and twisted with each other.
The temperature in the room shot up as Natsu picked Lucy up off the ground. She wrapped her legs around his waist and gripped his shoulders. Natsu held her as he stumbled over to the wall and pressed her firmly against it. Lucy's hands clutched Natsu's soft hair as she quietly moaned into his mouth. Natsu's lips slowly curved into a grin when he realized that he was starting to turn her on. Switching paces he decided to kiss her slowly, with more passion rather than intensity.
Lucy loved every second. She never wanted him to stop. Pulling, back she parted from the long kiss and gasped for breath, resting her head against Natsu's forehead. "Natsu…I…I think love you."
Natsu smiled at her words. "That's funny Luce. I was about to say the same thing."
Lucy giggled. "You were going to say that you love yourself."
"Shhhhh. You're ruining the moment." Natsu chuckled slightly.
The rain continued to run down the side of the building as they held each other for another long moment. Lucy took her hand off Natsu's neck only to feel for the light switch. Switching it off, she turned back to Natsu, who had his mischievous smile on again.
"Are you sure you want to go that far, sweetheart?" He nipped playfully at her lips.
Lucy looked into Natsu's eyes and saw something she didn't recognize. Something warm and caring, yet sort of dangerous. She smiled warmly. "Of course."
With that, Natsu spun her around and gently lowered her to the floor. Moving on top of her, he lowered himself down until his hot lips were very close to Lucy's ear. "You will remember tonight, and you will be mine always."
"That's what I intended," Lucy whispered back.
"No it wasn't, it was my plan," he huffed. Lucy rolled her eyes. Are we really getting into a fight right now? What the hell is wrong with us?
Natsu gazed down at his girlfriend and mate to-be. She was so beautiful it took his breath away. Her soft hair framed her face and her brown eyes shone into his. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He had always known that they were meant for each other, and ever since he first met her he had been drawn to her in so many different ways. To protect her, to sleep with her, and to tease her. The time was right to fulfill their destiny as soul mates.
"You're so gorgeous," he whispered before he leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.
The golden-haired girl smiled inwardly and fervently kissed him back. A week ago they were just best friends and co-workers, and now they were about to have sex. Normally, she would have thought that this was too soon, to early in their relationship to be doing something like this, but in this moment it felt so right. Looking back at all they had been through, the good and the bad, she felt that they could not have been closer, but the impossible became a reality when they first kissed in that alley way.
Natsu shifted from over Lucy so his full weight wasn't resting on her, then proceeded to trail kisses down her jaw and neck. He started to stroke her side gently, tracing his warm fingers across her ribs. He heard another soft moan when his kisses began to circulate her cleavage. Pulling his hand down, he stopped just before he got to her belt and he started to pull up her tank top. Before removing it he glanced at her for permission. Getting a nod from the Celestial mage, he took it off and threw it above his head.
Looking back down at her he noticed that she was wearing a bra that was a dark shade of red with black trim. "You should wear red more often," he hummed in approval.
"I guess I'll keep that-" Lucy started but finished in a moan when she felt him blaze a trail of heat in the valley between her breasts.
Grinning evilly at her reaction, Natsu decided to just touch her there. Let's see her reaction to that, he thought. He leaned up a bit and rubbed his finger over her nipple. Lucy moaned and blushed red at the action. Smiling, Natsu continued and started to pick her up slightly to get her bra off, but the thing wouldn't budge. Lucy took notice of his dilemma and sat up, taking off the piece of fabric for him. Setting the bra down, Lucy cautiously looked back to Natsu and put her arms at her sides.
It's not that Natsu hadn't seen Lucy topless before, but it was different this time. Natsu went from looking at her breasts to her face. She was red all over. Someone could have poured a bucket of lava on her and it still would not have compared.
"Don't be so embarrassed, Luce," Natsu laughed. Lucy turned even more red, crossing her arms across her chest and looking away.
Natsu shook his head. "Lucy, you're perfect." Rubbing her arm teasingly, he grabbed both her wrists. "I love you so much sweetheart." Natsu held her eyes as he placed her arms back at her sides. "Do you trust me?" He asked, still looking at her face.
"Y-es." Lucy answered, her voice cracking with emotion. Natsu smiled slightly and looked at her. Taking one of the soft round mounds in his hands, he grabbed the other and pressed his face against her skin, drinking in her scent.
"Luce, you smell so good…like cinnamon." He had just barely noticed that scent on her last week. Seems weird, but I like it.
"I overheard - you saying - that you - liked cinnamon." Lucy moaned and gasped as he skimmed his nose across her collarbone.
Natsu grinned and brought his face to hers. "Don't ever change it Luce."
Grabbing her gently, he set her back down of the floor. Skimming over her stomach, his hands flew to her belt buckle. He quickly unbuckled it and put her celestial keys to the side.
Lucy turned and followed along, but something tugged on her memory. Once, when she was walking through the guild hall on a quiet day several weeks ago, she had heard Erza and Mira talking about something interesting behind a closed door. She hadn't meant to eavesdrop, but she couldn't resist pressing her ear to the hardwood door.
"I thought you said Dragon Slayers do sex differently," Erza's stern voice rang out.
"Only the ones that were raised by a dragon." Mira replied softly. Lucy pushed up against the door to hear more clearly.
"But how do you know that?"
"Because Lisanna told me that Laxus does everything normally."
"Lisanna had sex with him?" Erza's voice was astonished.
"Yea, but please don't tell anyone, it's a secret. They don't want anyone to know yet, since Lisanna being so much younger might cause issues in the guild."
Lucy had stepped back from the door. Lisanna and Laxus. That certainly wasn't a pairing she had considered before. Come to think of it though, they were kind of cute together. Smiling, she went back to the door only to find that they stopped talking about the secret relationship.
Now, looking at Natsu she wondered if it was true, that Dragon Slayers have sex differently. If so what did they do? It couldn't be that drastic, could it?
"Natsu, do Dragon Slayers have sex differently?" Lucy asked Natsu abruptly.
The pink haired man stopped what he was doing for a second and looked away, like he was thinking of what to say next. "Lucy, I guess I should have told you sooner, but yeah, in a way we do." Natsu sat up, and Lucy soon followed.
"Well, what's different?" She couldn't hold back her curiosity for more than a moment.
Natsu smiled and looked back at her. "Dragon Slayers have a way of know who their mate is. We are immediately attracted to him or her and we always want to be around them. During the first coupling the Dragon Slayer marks their mate as theirs, so other dragon slayers won't mess with them. Also, the mark means the Slayer and the mate are bonded for life."
Lucy sat back and listened to Natsu talk. In the background she could the rain start to die away. The sound was rather peaceful. "Wait, so you knew that I was your match?" Lucy asked as soon as he finished.
"Yes, but I needed to wait for the right time to tell you. In the mean time I was your best friend and partner. I got to know you, and you got to know me."
Thinking about Natsu's explanation, Lucy realized that he always have been very protective of her. When she was sad he was depressed, and he was always ecstatic when she was happy. When his annoying habits and his cocky attitude became something she depended on, she would never know. But what she did know was that he was the man she loved.
Lucy crossed her arms over her chest and shivered. She was starting to get cold and was debating on whether or not to put her tank top back on. Before she could make up her mind, or even locate her shirt, she looked at Natsu, who was giving her his devilish smile again. Well…she wasn't going to put her shirt back on now. Natsu would probably just rip it off again.
"Doesn't this remind you of the closet incident? You're cold, and I'm bound to warm you up again," Natsu said with his sexy voice. Natsu scooped his mate back into his arms and bit her left ear softly. "I hope what I just told you didn't turn you away," he whispered seductively.
Lucy shivered again but this time it wasn't from the cold. Oh boy. "Of course not, why would it?" She sighed as his lips moved down her jaw.
"I didn't know if you wanted to be with just one guy for the rest of your life," he answered after he bit the corner of her lips.
"You're the one I love. I want to be with you forever." Lucy moaned as Natsu stroked her inner thigh.
Natsu smiled. "Good."
Lucy wiggled in Natsu's grasp, as he started to slip the mini skirt down her legs. She was done with all this teasing. Why was he stalling? All she could really do was lay down and moan while pleasure coursed through her.
Once Lucy's skirt was off, Natsus fingers skimmed her beautiful body. Damn, she really has no idea what she does to me, does she? Natsu marveled as he gripped her breast. But then, again by the way she's acting it's probably the same for her. He loved the fact that it was so easy to get her going. He had always thought it would be harder. Sliding his hands from her breasts to her black thong, he hooked the side string with his index finger and pulled it off in one swift motion.
All my clothes were off and he hasn't even started on his, Lucy thought. Time to fix that little problem. She slid her hands over his chest and eagerly pulled off his vest. His pants soon followed, his notably large length straining against his orange boxers.
…
Elfman strode through to two doors of the Fairy Tail guild. Putting the key back in his pocket, he shut the door securely behind him and continued to walk to the bar with manly steps. He was there to find a book Mirajane had so kindly left for him at the guild. Walking by the counter, he spotted the book. However, just as he was picking it put he heard sounds coming from up stairs.
He stopped for a moment to listen better, and sure enough, there was another odd sound. Sighing, he set the book back down on the counter and made his way up stairs. If someone was in Fairy Tail to steal stuff, they are going to get a beating, Elfman thought darkly as he cracked his knuckles. Getting to the attic door, he kicked it open.
"THE MIGHTY ELFMAN WILL DISTROY ANY…AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Elfman yelled. What he saw in the dim in the room was two of his guild mates. Lucy was completely naked. And it looked like she was about to take off Natsu's boxers. "KEEP THEM ON! KEEP THEM ON! He begged. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?"
"Well, what does it look like we were doing?" Natsu asked dryly after several seconds.
"Get dressed!" Elfman shouted, turning around.
Natsu sighed and looked over at Lucy. Throughout the entire night she hadn't been redder. Natsu guessed he looked the same. Getting up, he quickly found his pants and vest and pulled them on. Looking back at Lucy, he saw that she was having difficulties finding her tank top. They looked all over, but couldn't find it.
"Are you guys dressed?" Elfman asked cautiously after several minutes.
Lucy shrugged. "I can't find my shirt."
A couple of more minutes Natsu located the missing article of clothing up in the rafters of the ceiling. There was no way they were going to get that down, Lucy thought. Natsu shrugged off his vest and wrapped it around her shoulders. It didn't cover much, but at least it was better than walking around in just a bra.
"Ok, you can look." Natsu called.
Elfman turned around and looked at the couple. His eyes drifted toward the ceiling and found Lucy's shirt. "How did that…Never mind. I don't want to know."
After saying awkward good byes and Natsu grabbing Lucy's purse and the potion, Lucy found herself walking hand in hand with Natsu to her house. "Ahhhh, are we going to…" Lucy trailed off.
"No, I'm sorry, but that ruined my night." Natsu shook his head.
Lucy laughed. "I know. I couldn't be more turned off right know. That was just….. horrible."
Natsu laughed along with her. "Poor Elfman."
