CHAPTER 11: The Diary
"You already know what it is." Lucy spoke quietly.
"Your diary." Natsu stated, his face blank. The blonde mage nodded, feeling both relieved and nervous at the same time.
"Mmhmmm…"
"You wrote about me." His voice level, unreadable.
"Yes." Lucy cringed, knowing there was no way she could explain away the incriminating words in her journal.
"I'm sorry,'" Natsu frowned, 'for reading it."
"No, I'm sorry!'" Lucy blurted out. 'Reading it must have been really weird and confusing for you." She blushed. Natsu tilted his head, cocking an eyebrow, grinning.
"It wasn't weird." The fire mage smirked. Lucy stared, open-mouthed at the man.
"It wasn't?" The celestial mage managed to whisper, her face reddening. Maybe he didn't get that far.
"Nope.'" He leaned in closer to the girl, his arms winding around her middle. 'I thought it was interesting."
"Natsu,'" Lucy cautioned, feeling the fire-dragon slayer's hands roam under her tank top, settling over the clasp of her bra. 'You don't have to do this."
"Does it look like you're forcing me?" He grinned widely before prying the the metal clasps of Lucy's bra apart.
"Natsu." Lucy breathed, feeling his lips on her neck; his hands pulling her shirt over her head in one swift motion. How did he get so good at this?
"Wow Luce, I've seen these before, but…" The fire mage's voice trailed off as he stared down at the stellar spirit mage's bare chest, causing her to blush fiercely.
"Natsu!" Lucy yelled, throwing her hands over her chest, scowling.
"Don't.'" He frowned, pulling her arms away, revealing her body to him once again. 'Let me look at you."
"This is totally unfair." Lucy mumbled, looking away.
"You're right.'" He agreed, languidly removing his vest. 'Now we're even." She placed a hand shyly against his chest, watching his expression for any signs of hesitation.
"Are we really going to do this?" Lucy whispered, eyes locked onto his.
"…" Natsu smiled in response as he undid his pants.
"This is so sudden." Lucy gasped, unable to look away.
"Not according to your book." He smirked, watching the colour drain from his partner's face.
"You're evil."
"If you say so."
