His strengthened roar had just finished echoing in the canyon as he delivered the last fiery punch and her whip cracked one final time to take down their last opponent.
Lucy's body heaved with the force of her sheer exhilaration and adrenaline rush.
Natsu whooped, thrusting his fist into the air. His call tangled with one her of own breathy laughs, sealing the end of the battle and endless stream of baddies.
Her eyes flew open as he beelined for her, his scarf slipping from his neck and drifting forgotten to the settling dust. Natsu scooped her up and held her close and shouted to the skies again.
"We did it, Luce! We're unstoppable!"
She wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging tightly to her partner in victory. Her laughter picked up and hitched with her loss of breath, her fingers tangling in his wild hair. Before she could check herself, Lucy ducked down and pressed her mouth to the crown of his head, his hair and familiar scent tickling her nose.
"I knew you could do it."
In the time it took her breath to rush past her teeth, he had pressed his own mouth up to her jawline.
Natsu loosened his hold, allowing her to slip back to the ground and following her movement to trail kisses up her hairline and over her brow.
His own, rough and excited, hands caught in her mussed up hair. Lucy placed her mouth by his ear and traced his cheekbones and the one side of his nose. Natsu ducked away from her touches and found a particularly ticklish spot on her neck that revived her giggles. She squirmed in his hold as he devilishly smirked against the spot before moving on to a spot just under her ear.
Natsu pulled back, eyes bright and grin stretched clear across his face, and breathed. His chest heaved just as heavy as hers, taking the moment to catch a semblance of a breath as he watched her. He closed his eyes in relief, sighing heavily and shaking his head.
"We pulled it off, Luce." The dragon slayer opened his eyes tiredly and laid his forehead against hers. "You're amazing."
Her response was barely a whisper, the 'you too' kept between them as Natsu closed the minuscule space between them. His happiness poured into her veins as hers tripped up his overzealous movements, causing them both to laugh into the kiss.
