"N-Natsu!" the celestial mage gasped loudly as her partner shifted underneath her.
"Lucy, you gotta stay still if this is gonna work!" the pink haired boy panted as pearls of sweat glistened on his forehead.
"It's not my fault that you're not strong enough..." the blond muttered in annoyance.
"Hey!" the dragon slayer countered angrily. "I'm way stronger than this!"
"Then maybe we should try another position?" Lucy suggested as her knees began to tremble underneath her, almost causing her to fall off of the pink haired boy who was currently her only support.
"No!" the dragon slayer shouted just a bit too loud. "Let's do this!"
"But Natsu-"
"No!" the young man protested. "We said we'd do this, so let's do this!"
"Fine!" Lucy agreed despite the anger building inside of her.

"Ngh-" Natsu huffed as he pushed the celestial mage even further. "Come on!"
"Almost there!" the blond panted as she reached for her goal. "Just a little more!"
Trembling, Lucy fumbled awkwardly on top of the dragon slayer's wide frame.
"Lucy, you look really great from down here!" the pink haired boy smiled as he watched his partner squirming to reach that high.
"Natsu, don't look!" the celestial mage squealed self consciously.
"Why not?"
"Because it's weird!"
"Not as weird as you tryin' to screw that thing-"
"Hey!" Lucy cried in exasperation. "We agreed to never talk about that again!"
"It's just funny that you go from a screwdriver to a hammer..."
"What?!"
"I mean," the dragon slayer paused to exhale before continuing. "It's sweet..."
"What...?" Lucy repeated with a pink blush to her cheeks.
"I've never seen anyone change a lightbulb using a hammer before."
"No...?" Lucy questioned as all of her movements stopped.
"No."
"Oh."
"Yep."
"Natsu, what the-!" Lucy yelled just as she lost her balance, falling off of the dragon slayer's shoulders and tumbling towards the floor, preparing herself for the inevitable crash just as two strong arms scooped her up, saving her from a horrible faith.
A loud noise echoed through the apartment as the hammer fell to the floor.
"Natsu, you're an idiot!"
"An idiot who's always there to catch you though..."
"Yeah," Lucy smiled affectionately at her partner. "You always do..."

I'm sooooo sorry that this is not an actual chapter! I'm challenging myself to write a 5k+ words chapter of smut (only!) so please look forward to that!
I have been really busy with school, work, cons and working on cosplays lately, which is why I haven't updated in quite a while. However, if you want to keep in touch during my off-periods, I'm 'Meringueshell' on pretty much every social media that there is!
Love to hear from you! xo
