"You'll see!"

"Come on Shorty," the raven-haired man groaned. "You know I don't like surprises!" He could hear his girlfriend from the kitchen chuckling. "You never seem to complain when I surprise you," she flirtatiously yelled. He could hear the grin in her voice.

"Why're you goin' to change now? You'll just be back in the water again in a few hours," Gajeel heard a masculine voice coming from the back door. He snarled. Natsu..

"Well.. I don't know. I guess you're right." He could hear Lucy's voice slowly become louder. He turned around, and nodded at Lucy as she walked by. She gave a small smile in return before disappearing down the hallway, with Natsu hot on her heels.

"Don't ya think Natsu's being... clingy?" The large man asked Levy once he walked into the kitchen. The bluenette popped her head up from the veggie plate she was preparing, and pursed her lips before arranging celery in a slot. "I guess you're right, but who could blame him? You know how attractive Lu-chan is." Gajeel rolled his eyes as a very light blush crossed his cheeks. He moved so he was behind his girlfriend, and planted a single kiss on her neck while resting his hands on her hips. "You're more beautiful to me," said Gajeel, and Levy smiled warmly.

The blonde walked into her room, and unwrapped the towel that was around her body. She then used to it wring out her dripping hair, and sighed while doing so. Natsu, whose swim trunks were moderately dry, leaned up against the door frame. "What did you get Gajeel, Lucy?" Natsu asked, watching cautiously, so she didn't notice, as Lucy's breasts bounced as she rubbed the towel back and fourth on her butt.

"Just a card and giftcard to Dick's. Nothin' big," the blonde stated, proceeding to pull a hoodie over herself. The pinkette nodded his head, not actually caring what the hell she got him. He traveled less than halfway across the room, and sat down on her bed. Lucy copied Natsu's actions, and sat beside him, resting her head on his bare shoulder.

After a few calm seconds, she spoke. "You never talk about your parents either, Natsu," she whispered softly, and he looked down. She began to swirl circles around her hair-free thigh with her index finger, and Natsu had the urge to hold her hand, but decided against it. "I know," he flatly stated. Lucy sighed quietly. She didn't want Natsu to know that she was disappointed he wouldn't tell her, but Natsu could feel her chest rise and fall that indicated a sigh.

"My father left when I was young, and my mother isn't really around," Natsu blurted all of a sudden. Lucy's head snapped up to look at him, and her finger movements halted. Her wide eyes slowly relaxed and a frown formed on her pink lips. She hung her head down a bit, and chewed on her lip. "I'm sorry," she said. "It must be hard not having your parents around."

Natsu shrugged his shoulders, then a small smile played on his lips. "If I actually had some sort of parent in my life then I probably wouldn't have had so much time to talk to you online," he said. Lucy smiled and released a giggle. She bumped into him playfully, and looked in his eyes. "Yeah, you're right."

They stared at each other for a few moments, and Natsu noticed how she had two freckles on the left side of her nose. She must've gotten them recently, because the last time he checked, her skin was completely clear.

Lucy's parents had created a beauty. Her hair had turned into an almost brown―because it was still damp―and a few strands clung to the side of her face. Her plump lips were slightly parted, and damn, what did they taste like? He wanted to find out.

Natsu removed a strand of hair off of Lucy's cheek, and that caused her to blush. Instead of moving his hand back to the bed, he cupped the blonde's cheek, and she happily leaned into his touch. He stared at her lips, and Lucy's heartbeat increased. Once he began leaning in closer, she began to freak out internally.

Oh man, is he going to kiss me?! Do I kiss him back, oh my god. I want this, yes, please, kiss me.

The blonde turned so she was facing Natsu a bit more, and closed her eyes, waiting for his lips to touch hers. Her breast was lightly pressed up against his arm from the way she was turned, and Natsu took the liberty of noting how her nipple had become hard.

Natsu's own heart was beating extremely fast, but he could feel hers beating at the same rate so it calmed him down a tad.

She felt his hot breath on her bottom lip, and took a sharp intake of breath before his lips were gently pressed up against hers. Natsu's free hand rested on her thigh, and she could've sworn that he was made of fire.

After a few seconds, neither pulled away. The blonde placed her hand flat on Natsu's bare chest, right over his heart. But he wasn't paying attention to that. The way her chest kept slowly rubbing up against him made him want to push her down on top of the bed and get on top of her. The thigh he now began to slowly run the pad of his thumb over was incredibly smooth, and he pondered for a moment if she shaves or waxes her legs. Her lips collided with Natsu's over and over again―he couldn't get enough.

Lucy couldn't focus on anything but the ringing in her ears, the way Natsu's hand rubbed her thigh which sent tingles up it, and the way her lips perfectly met with his.

"Lu―"

Natsu and Lucy pulled away from each other lightning fast, and the blonde's attention snapped to the doorway. There stood the small bookworm with blue hair, eyes wide and lips pursed. "L-Levy! W-we were just-"

"―No, no I understand, Lu-chan! I-I'm sorry for interrupting!" Levy began backing out of the room slowly, shaking her hands back and fourth. Lucy was incredibly embarrassed. "I just, Ijustwantedtotellyouthattheguestsarehere!" And with that, the small girl ran out of the room.

"N-no, Levy!" Lucy yelled after her, then burying her face in her hands. Natsu rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, while letting out a chuckle. "H-ah.. That was, uh, awkward."

"Yeah," Lucy agreed.

"Well!" Natsu stood up, causing the blonde to take her hands down. "The guests are here, right? Let's go out there."

"Okay."

The tall pink-haired male walked out first, and Lucy trailed shortly behind, and then placed her index finger on her lip while staring at the ground. There's definitely something familiar with that kiss, but I just can't put my finger on it, Lucy thought.

"Ah, hey, Laxus!" Natsu shouted once they reached the living room. Lucy was pulled from her thoughts, and she looked out from behind him. There stood: Laxus, Mira, that Loki guy, and a few others she didn't know the name of..

"Hey Mira, Loki," he also greeted. The trio said their hellos, and the others were then introduced. How did Natsu know them? They were in college.

"This is Sol," Gajeel announced, standing next to a skinny man with a monocle over his right eye. Next, he introduced a black couple. "And this is Sue and Boze," he said while nodding his head towards the duo. The three said hello to everyone, and thanked Levy for inviting them.

Lucy greeted Laxus, Mira, and Loki with a warm smile and wave.

One hour later

"Cake everyone!" Levy yelled out the back door, surprisingly loud enough to be heard over the music. It was a good thing that they weren't any neighbors nearby, because I Like It by Enrique Iglesias was blaring. Lucy, Erza, and Mira stepped out of the hot tub, while Natsu, Gray, Laxus, and Loki got out of the pool. As Lucy was walking inside, she stopped to let a few people she didn't even notice were at the party, in first.

After the bluenette said a few encouraging words regarding the raven-haired man's future, cake was cut and distributed. Many of the guests gave Gajeel a pat on the back, while Levy stood a few feet away, smiling at his accomplishment of graduating.

"Cake is good," Natsu pointed out, shoving a large piece of the chocolate sweet into his mouth. Lucy nodded her head, not exactly wanting to make eye contact. It was just so awkward for her, and she wondered how it had not affected him in the slightest.

"Say, Lucy?" he asked after he finished his cake. The blonde didn't really want to finish hers, so she tossed it away along with his empty plate. "Yeah?" she responded, licking her lips free of any frosting. "Do you want to go get a drink or something?"

"...Sure."

Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and dragged her through the crowd, startling Lucy, and before she knew it, they were outside by the pool. Laxus gave her a small wave before indulging into the conversation he was having with Mira. Loki was behind the bar, and he gave Lucy a devilish grin which made Natsu narrow his eyes. "Why hello Lucy, Natsu," he greeted, leaning on the bar on his elbows.

The pinkette released his hand from Lucy's, and she found herself frowning. Her skin seemed to go cold, even with the night being so warm. "Make us somethin' would you, Loki?" Natsu asked loudly, leaning against the glass surface. "Gotcha," he replied, rummaging under the counter and pulling out two bottles of which he didn't know the content of. He turned back to the blonde, and smiled warmly at her.

"Havin' fun?" he asked, looking around at the party. Natsu thought he was gonna go deaf with how loud the music was. She nodded her head, and soon reached out past him to get her drink.

It hadn't taken her long to get drunk, as usual. The pinkette was getting there, but not quite yet. The duo was resting in the hot tub, while the remaining guests danced and swam in the pool. It was pretty surprising how many drunkards didn't drown yet.

"Natsu," Lucy slurred, taking another sip of her drink before placing it down on the side of the tub. Natsu looked over to the blonde and blinked a few times before replying, "Yeah, Luce?" She titled her head to the side, and a heartfelt closed smile quirked her lips. The teen watched her lips as she spoke softly. "I really love you, you'mknow." She closed her eyes and grinned brightly, which made his heart melt. Natsu's eyes widened at her confession, but they shortly softened and he smiled warmly at her.

Before he knew it, the blonde was sliding over to him and pressed up against his chest with an innocent look on her face. "Do you love me too?" she asked, pursing her lips. Natsu blushed furiously and ran a hand through his damp hair. He glanced down at Lucy, whose breasts were squashed against his hard chest. "O-of course I love you. Now g-get offa me.."

She squeaked with joy before she sat down next to him, allowing the jet to blow into her back, making her hum contently.

"Do you w'nt ta get out?" Lucy slurred, rolling her head to look at him. Natsu looked down at her, and followed a water droplet sliding down her face. He closed his eyes for a heavy second, but then nodded his head. "Sure."

The blonde stepped out first, and almost slipped but Natsu caught her arm before she fell back. She giggled a thank you before grabbing her towel and staggering back into the house.

Once she was inside, Lucy frowned. She could hardly see straight; could the room please stop spinning? "Damn," she muttered under her breath, taking a shaky step forward, only to bump into some guy. When did he even get there? "Sorry," she slurred, looking around for a way to her room.

Next, she felt two warm hands on her arms and she was being lead towards the hallway she knew well. The people went by in a blur, and the blonde tripped over herself more than once, which caused the person behind her to almost trip.

Once in the safety of her room, Lucy was released and she happily, but clumsily, walked over to her bed and plopped down on her back. What happened to her towel? "This feeling is so great!" she yelled out in joy, followed by a few soft giggles. Natsu closed the door behind him, and sighed, while looking over to the blonde. He walked over, a little bit dizzy himself, and sat next to her.

"You should get some sleep," he said, leaning back on his hands. "But Natsuu~! I don't want to sleep, I want to spend time with you!" she slurred, sitting up. Natsu ran a hand through his pink locks. "Lucy you are spending time with me," he grumbled because of her stubbornness.

"But Natsu," she whispered in his ear, "I don't want to sleep.." He could smell the alcohol on her hot breath that tickled his neck. Her wet, cold hair sent goosebumps down his arm. When did she get so close? And when did she wrap her arms around his neck?

Heat rushed up to the pinkette's cheeks once she rested her head in the depression of his shoulder and began kissing his neck. "L-Lucy... wh-what are you doing.." The blonde smiled against his skin and moved her hand down Natsu's chest, to rest on his abs. His muscles twitched beneath her touch, and Natsu bit his lip.

"Lucy, please get off of me," he finally said, wiggling out of the blonde's grasp. She recoiled, a look of confusion written all over her face. She sat back on her butt, and watched as a water droplet rolled off of a strand of hair with a frown on her face. Natsu turned so he was looking at her, and grabbed her chin between his fingers.

"Natsu..?" she questioned, releasing a breath she was holding. Her eyes darted back and forth to his, trying to find an answer to his actions. Was he going to reject her? Was he going to put her in the friendzone? Was he going to go home?! No, she didn't want that. She wanted him to kiss her. She wanted him to have all of her. God, what was she even thinking.

"I want you to kiss me," she whispered, a pleading look on her slightly tan face. Natsu stared into her chocolate brown eyes while dealing with his inner turmoil. She was drunk. Lucy was intoxicated. Hopelessly befuddled. Irrational. Unaware of what she was actually doing. Could he just take advantage of her in a time like this? It wasn't like he was very sober himself, so he didn't think... that it was all that wrong.

He leaned in, allowing his eyes to be half-lidded. "Are you sure you want this, Lucy?" he huskily whispered, and he heard her take a sharp intake of breath. "Kiss me.."

Their lips molded together, and Lucy felt the warmth of alcohol in her stomach, as well as the warmth of Natsu's hands on her body. Natsu was the first to part his lips, and Lucy's soon followed. The two wet muscles swayed past each other once they met, and Natsu's left hand moved from her hip down to her ass. Should he stop? But man, she tasted so good. Or maybe that's just the alcohol.

Lucy pulled away for a second, and Natsu took his chance to softly push her down on the bed. Her heart was beating incredibly fast, partly because of the alcohol, and partly because of the boy that was now above her.

Vision swimming, she didn't realize he was kissing her again until seconds later. Kissing him back, she then wrapped her hands around his neck. Lucy pulled away seconds later, a dark blush covering her cheeks. Her thoughts trailed away to things like: Why were the lights so bright? Or even turned on. And that music! Her ears were ringing.

"C-could you touch me, Natsu?" she then whispered, avoiding eye contact. Natsu gulped. He was a little rusty, but he still knew how to please a woman. His right hand left her waist, and his palm dragged painfully slow across her flat stomach, and then traveled south. Her skin was like ice, but he was sure to warm it up. Lucy bit her lip as her breathing quickened.

Once his finger tips reached the top of her bikini bottoms, the pinkette shakily looked down at Lucy. Face red and core burning for attention, she eagerly nodded her head yes. Natsu's hot hands slipped past the thin fabric, and made contact with her pink folds. A soft moan emitted from the blonde's sweet mouth, and Natsu found the blood rushing to his forming erection. Oh man, oh man. Oh man.

His middle finger teased her bundle of nerves, and he watched lustfully as her face contorted with pleasure. "Already so wet," he whispered. "Natsu..." she moaned. He leaned down and captured her lips with his, while pressing down softly on her clit. Natsu then added his index finger to work on building up her orgasm. His erection was now painfully pressing against the rough fabric of his trunks, and all he wished right now was to be relieved. All he wanted was to be inside her, deep inside her, pounding into her. But he couldn't. He wouldn't do that. Not like this.

Natsu ground softly against the side of Lucy's thigh after parting from the hot kiss. His fast three-sixty degree movements caused the blonde to writhe and moan and curl her toes beneath him.

Her arms were tightly wrapped around his neck as he began kissing and biting her neck, while his motions continued. "Na-atsu, I'm almost..!" she moaned in his ear, slightly arching her back.

With added pressure, a few more swirls, and a rough bite onto her earlobe, Lucy came. Natsu watched as her lips parted and eyes squeeze shut; he left his fingers resting on her folds for a moment, and felt her pounding heartbeat. Her ragged breathing began to settle down, and the pink-haired teen removed his hands from her bottoms.

She felt so good. Just thinking about his calloused fingers working against her most intimate parts almost made her want to go again. But, on the other hand, Lucy had become extremely dizzy.

"N-Natsu," the blonde breathed. He looked down at her with caution. Did he do something wrong? Should he not have done that? "I don't feel very good." Oh.

Booze mixed with ecstasy just didn't sit right with her. The pounding in her head had intensified after climaxing, and overall, Lucy felt uneasy. Feeling that this was all too much for her, she rolled her head to the side of her pillow and closed her eyes.

Natsu gaped at her, shocked. "You're joking right." he whispered, disbelieved that she would just... fall asleep. No 'thanks'... nothin'. But, he thought it was a good thing also. That meant they didn't have to go any farther.

Getting off of the blonde, he placed a blanket on top of her half-naked body after wiping his fingers off. Next, he'd go take a long, cold shower.

Regardless of what his body wanted, Natsu decided he would wait until Lucy was in her right mind to continue any actions she desired. Besides, he liked Sober Lucy better.
