FEVER AND HEAT
A week later after the couple went on their mission that was more of a romantic getaway.
Lucy was feeling sick today so she Stayed in, Natsu was really holding back himself, he was drawn to her for some reason probably beacause she smelled different, she was in heat and she was sick how was he going to deal with it he can't stay to close to her in that state.
Her smell turned him the hell on! She kept on asking if he was okay, he just told her he was a little bit under the weather himself. Happy was with them too, he was the one who was actually taking care of Lucy.
Several hours later with a moping Natsu and a gloating Happy, the bell to her apartment rang. It couldn't surely be anyone from team Natsu cause they'd just barge in. It must be someone else she thought.
"Happy could you help me get the door please?" Lucy called "Aye sir!". Happy went for the door and opened it, it was Levy and Cana. "Hey happy what's up, where's Lucy?" levy asked "she's in her room resting, she isn't feeling too good" happy said nibbling on a fish. "I told you. the cards are always right" cana said.
They walked into Lucy's room to find her on her bed and Natsu on the floor beside her looking like a starved puppy. "Hey Natsu are you alright" levy asked forgetting Lucy is the sick one. "Levy, nice of you to come by, what brings you here?" Lucy asked sitting up and rubbing Natsu's head. "Hey Lucy good to see you are okay I have a job to go on now so I'll see you when I get back, I'm taking the booze in the fridge on my way out…see ya" Cana said before she disappeared.
"Luce I think I'm gonna head out too" he finally got off the floor and leaned over to kiss Lucy, it was supposed to be a quick kiss. But Natsu kept on kissing and kissing and nibbling, she pushed him away when she felt him start fondling her breast "what's gotten into you! We have levy and happy right here" she almost screamed.
"I'm sorry, I'll see you later on then" he said scratching the back of his head and avoiding eye contact. He left quickly with happy to avoid further questions. "You know he doesn't look so good are you sure he's fine?" levy asked her worried looking friend. "I'm sure he just ate some bad fruit or something. So what brings you here, certainly not cause of my little fever?" Lucy said questioningly.
"Hahaha, nothing gets past you, I was on my way here when I saw Cana she said her cards saw someone sick in your house, apparently it was Natsu" levy said.
"Wow, I never knew cana cared so much, I'm sure she was here for the new bottle of sake I got" Lucy said laughing
"Anyway I came to tell you that when you and Natsu left for your job, gajeel sorta proposed to me" levy said out of the blue.
"He did what?! How did that happen?" Lucy asked
"Yes, he asked me to be his mate, we were already sorta… you know… together… but we didn't want it public" levy explained
"you should have told me, I wouldn't have told anyone. And what is mate? Why use that word?" Lucy asked again
"Apparently dragon slayers mate with the people they want to spend their life with. Its just like a wedding ceremony with just the couples in a bedroom" she said blushing.
"Wow levy I'm so happy for you. I wish Natsu will ask me to mate with him" don't worry lu-chan I'm sure he will. The two girls talked more about the whole thing. Levy explained what the mating ritual was all about and how gajeel was going to fuck her brain screws loose, this made both girls red, it wasn't exactly a comfortable topic. "That sounds intense, I hope you can handle it and there's a 90% chance you'll get pregnant?" Lucy asked
"Gageel said since we have to do it when I'm in heat and no protection there's a high chance I'll get pregnant so he said he'll wait for me until I'm sure I want to be a mother" levy told her friend. "Awww that's so sensitive and sweet you are so lucky, I for one don't mind to be a mother as long as it's with Natsu". "Don't worry lu-chan I have a feeling that will happen soon enough".
"see you later lu-chan, Gajeel and I have to meet up soon, take care of yourself. Make sure you rest, don't stay up with Natsu all night okay?" she laughed "okay levy, I'll be fine, see you".
Natsu's POV:
I had to get away from Lucy before I fucked her senseless in levy and happy's presence. She was so damn cute , she smelled so good I could Barely resist. I'm going to mate with her. I would have done it if she didn't have the stupid flu. I just hope she wants it too. Goshh I can't wait to fuck her while she's in heat.
Natsu went to a jewelry store to look for something nice and fit for a proposal present to Lucy he had to ask her properly first before he does anything.
He saw a beautiful necklace with a heart locket pendant, "it keeps 5 of the your favorite memories. Just think about the one you'd love to keep. The memory pictures will show one at a time and start all over again." The shop attendant explained to Natsu.
Thats perfect I'll take it he said. It was wrapped and packaged for him, with that he went back to Lucy's apartment. In hopes she would love his gift.
Natsu went into her apartment through the window as usual. Lucy wasn't in the room probably in the bathroom, "this is perfect" he thought. Natsu quickly looked for Lucy's candles "Natsu are you there?" Lucy called out unsure. "Yes babe I'm here" "do you want to join me in the bath?" She asked. "I'll be fine. Ill just wait for you out here. "Okay. I'll be out in a bit"
When Lucy came out of the bath she was shocked as hell. The room was dark the only thing that illuminated the room were candles. She just gaped at the whole scene. Natsu guided Lucy to sit on the bed with him. Lucy...he started "you know I love you, and I'll do anything for you, will you do anything for me?" Yes Natsu anything she said with her heart beating a thousands beat per minute. "Will you do me the honor of being my other half, my companion and my mate?".
