I'M BACK! Oh my word... it's been forever since I've updated anything.. I'm so sorry guys.. Life has been hectic this last month, even thought this particular chapter has been completed I just didn't have the want to actually type it.. You've all been there I'm sure.. BUT! I'm hoping this will get me back to it since I have so much to work on and so many new ideas ^^

This chapter takes place after Letters from War, chapter 3 (the epilogue). It's the day after the wedding. Just some NaLU fluff for you all :) Hope you enjoy!

Fairy Tail and it's characters belong to Hiro Mashima

The sun landed on Natsu's closed eyes. He turned his face into the pillow, not wanting to leave the blissful escape sleep granted him.

But it was really just the dream he was having about a certain blonde writer he didn't want to end.

He ran his hand over the back of his neck, only to flinch when he felt cold metal graze his skin.

Flipping over, he gazed at the silver band on his finger. A grin spread slowly over his face. That's right, he was a married man now.

Looking to his side to find his beautiful bride, he frowned when she wasn't there.

"Good morning," a sweet voice giggled from the door way, Natsu smiled when he saw her.

Lucy's hair was in a mess and flowing down her back. Holding two cups of coffee, she sat next to him on the rumpled sheets that made up their bed.

"Morning," he took the mug from her, smirked when he read the cup. "His" and "Hers".

She kissed his cheek before snuggling into the pillows, the only thing she wore was a pair of silky white panties and a gray v-neck shirt that said "wifey".

"Did you sleep good?" she asked.

"Better than good," he sat up and leaned against the headboard, bringing the sheets with him to cover his still nude body, "I slept incredible."

"Did you," she traced her free hand down his chest, flicking his nipple.

"Hey!" he covered the pink nub, "That's not nice, unless you let me do the same to you."

"I don't think so," she laughed as he wiggled his eyebrows, failing miserably.

"Well," he wrapped his arm around her, running his fingers down her arm, "you liked what I did last night."

"Well, uh," she raised her mug to cover her face, "yeah. I did.."

Natsu laughed, kissing her forehead, "Man you're cute. I love you."

Sighing in content, she told him, "I love you too, dork."

Natsu took another sip of his coffee, pulling Lucy into his chest, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the peaceful moment.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Lucy looked at the clock on her nightstand, only 10:30. They didn't sleep in too late.

"Whatever you make, I'll eat," Natsu jumped up, giving Lucy an excellent view of his round buttocks.

Lucy felt like she should turn away and not stare, but he was her husband! She could look at his perfect body all she wanted!

"Ok.. so sleep pants are... here!" Natsu had spent the last few days in such a blur getting ready for the wedding and moving in with Lucy that he completely forgot where all his clothes had ended up.

While he slipped on the black sweats over his hips, Lucy asked, "You're not putting on underwear?"

"No?" he opened the closet and found the house slippers Lucy bought him.

"Why?"

"Comfier this way," he stood next to her side of the bed and picked her up, princess style.

"What are you doing?!" she latched onto him, laughing as he made his way into the kitchen.

"Treating my wife the way she deserves," he set her down on the fluffy mat by the sink before grabbing her cheeks and kissing her. Lucy fought a smile, sliding her arms down his warm chest.

He pulled away and gazed into her eyes. He had spent everyday overseas making fun of the men who gushed over their wives, and here he was, wanting to do the exact same thing. Probably even more than that. He knew Lucy was worth every breath it took to talk about her, and if he could he'd do it every day.

Lucy's cheeks darkened the longer he stared, "How about some waffles and bacon?"

"Bacon? Why didn't you say so! he kissed her again before letting her go.

She giggled, "Can you go get me some socks? My feet are cold."

"Sure!" Natsu smacked her butt cheek before making a hasty retreat, laughing at the squeak she made.

"Oh.. Kay.." he stared at the chest full of her clothing, not too sure where to begin.

"This one!" he yanked open the bottom drawer, "No.." it was full of work out clothes.

"How about.. this one!" it was overflowing with t-shirts.

"If I were Lucy's socks where would I be.." he pointed to a different drawer with every word and finally pointed to the top one.

"You win!" and it felt like he had instead. No socks, it was her panty drawer.

"What is.." he picked up blue strings, he couldn't tell what was what. He wondered what it would look like on..

She had all kinds of lace and silk and cotton panties, more than he imagined. At the back of the drawer was a little pink bag. On the tag it said "DO NOT USE UNTIL THE HONEYMOON!"

"Geez, they're just panties," that word felt weird on his tongue. He opened the bag and went red.

"Natsu? Can you not find them? The second drawer on the left!"

He stuffed the bag back in the drawer, shutting it closed. His face red with imaged of her in that.. that.

Opening the drawer underneath the lacy heaven he found them. Pulling out a fuzzy pair of purple socks, he ran back to the kitchen where the smell of batter and grease assaulted him.

Lucy was standing on her toes to avoid touching the floor, "Thank you," she took them and slid them up her legs. They stopped just under her knees.

Natsu leaned against the table as she cooked. She looked so cute with her bed head, t-shirt, long socks.. her thighs bare.

He closed his eyes when she stood on her toes to get plates.. he t-shirt rode up.

"Why can't I look? She's my wife! I can look all I want now!" he peeked with one eye, but she was already back down.

His mind jumped back to that piece of lace and strings. Whatever it was was a dark crimson, covered in lace and had a bow that would sit right about her cheeks. He couldn't wait until their honeymoon.. He cleared his head of those thoughts when she turned around with two plates and a smile.

"That looks good.." his mouth watered at the smell.

Lucy giggled, "Well it's ready," she leaned up to kiss his cheek then sat down.

"Yosh!" he dragged a chair over to sit next to her. She gave him a funny look, "What? I can't sit next to you?"

"Of course you can," she took a bit of her waffle right when Natsu put a chocolate covered Strawberry in her face, "What?"

"Eat it," he winked at her, "they are your favorite, ya know."

Lucy blushed a little before opening her moth and let him feed her.

"Good?" he smirked, she still had some chocolate on her lips.

"Very. Wh-" Natsu leaned in to lick the chocolate off her, "Oh, gross! Quit!"

He licked every part of her face he could reach.

"This is so gross! Stop! Eat your food- Natsu!" she laughed, he was just like a big puppy.

With a kiss on her nose he said, "Yes ma'am!"

Lucy watched him inhale his food like he hadn't eater in days, which was kind of true since they didn't get to eat yesterday. He was probably starving.

"That was great," Natsu leaned back in his chair, patting his full belly, "You're the best cook, Lucy!"

Lucy finished her own breakfast smiling, but before she could stand Natsu had taken her plate to the sink.

"Well that's nice of you," she sighed, wondering for how long her would play the helpful husband. Her friends said it lasted about 3 months.

"Now," Natsu stood next to her chair, grinning quite... evilly..

"Natsu?" Lucy had all of 0.03 seconds before he picked her up like a sack of potatoes and dashed to their bedroom. He then kicked open the door to their private bathroom.

"How about a shower, my beautiful wife?" he wiggled his eyebrows, trying to be smooth but just looking silly.

"Shower?" her face flushed brightly, "I mean- yes- well- what about your leg? I don't know how to take care of it yet."

"Just gotta dry it off real good, it can get wet Lucy," he furrowed his brows, "I'd have to take it off if I took a bath though."

"OK," she poked his nose and knelt by the tub. Turning on the water so it would warm up quickly, she slipped off her socks. Turning her head, she winked at him as she slipped off her shirt, leaving her in her silky panties that read "bride".

"Damn, I'm glad I'm not wearing underwear," his hands twitched to touch her, she was in the shower about to close the curtain when she said, "Well come on, hott stuff."

His pants were off the next instant, he jumped in closing the yellow and white shower curtain.

"Woah!" his left leg slid on the floor.

"Easy," Lucy helped him stay up right, "I'll have to get one of those shower mats, can't have you falling every time you bathe."

He sighed happily and pressed his forehead against hers and pulled her into his chest. The hot water ran down her back, leaving a tingling sensation.

"I'll have you to take care of me, so it won't be so bad."

Lucy smiled and hugged him a little tighter, "I love you."

Humming into her hair he told her, "Love you too, Lucy. I really love you."

hope you enjoyed :) and I really hope this gets me in the mood to write! I miss you guys and seeing all your lovely comments. Until next time!
