Natsu had his eyes glued to his phone all day, for multiple reasons. He kept updating his twitter to make sure there were no new photos of Lucy added with a view of the panties she was wearing. Like seriously… Natsu doesn't know how he feels about it. It's hot that she's wearing that to school while thinking about him, but his possessive nature is much stronger because the thought of some other guy seeing the absolute beauty that lies between her legs made Natsu extremely angry and territorial of her body. He should have marked her thighs. He wasn't thinking clearly and Natsu was pissed that he didn't leave any marks anywhere besides her neck and collar bone. He made that one on the top of her breast, but he should have left more. He should have made marks even under her clothes so if anyone happens to see her, they would know she's already taken.

His hand couldn't help slip under his scarf at the thought of it to touch the bite mark Lucy made on his neck. After they had finished, Lucy immediately teased him about not pulling out, but he just rolled off her and held Lucy to his chest tightly. Lucy didn't mention anything about the bite mark she made, and it seems she forgot about it by the way she didn't freak out and tell him to cover it up like it he has been. Natsu was actually really proud of it. It felt like some sort of battle scar to him. Something he could be proud of and brag to his friends about his experience on the "battle field", and it made him upset that he couldn't show it off or talk about it, but it made him even more upset that Lucy seemed to forget about it.

He was honestly feeling a little lonely. He knew Lucy cared about him, but… he would be lying if he said he was content like this. He was regretting what he told Lucy this morning, about punishing her. He was upset that Lucy seemed to only think about sex. He was concerned about her sadness when he took away her lollipop, but Lucy went and acted all sexual and seductive instead of taking comfort in him like he hoped she would when he extended his arms out for her to leach of his energy like she said on the phone. He shouldn't have been swept away like that, and he knew his thoughts weren't normal. Most guys would be thrilled with how Lucy acts and seduces him all the time, but… but Natsu wished they had more moments like they did when she called him, and he didn't really realize that until it happened. Because Natsu wasn't a normal guy. He thought he was asexual his whole life and never enjoyed jerking himself off. Yeah, sex with Lucy was more amazing than he ever could have dreamed of, but he wasn't content with just sex. He wanted more. He wanted all of her, and he wanted things she's never given anyone before. He told Lucy he'd take away her firsts too. Sex wasn't important to her like it was to Natsu. Having lost his virginity to Lucy was something extremely special to him, but Lucy wasn't like that. Sex wasn't something she gave to only that special person.

No, he'll take something from her that's just as embarrassing as Lucy does for him. He's taking Lucy's emotional first times, and he wants her to be the one who's truly out in the open and emotionally open. He wants to see her cry. Natsu knows that's an odd desire, but it's what he felt. It didn't matter if they were happy tears or sad tears, either would be fine because he wants to see both. He wants to see her so happy that she can't help but cry, and he wants to see her sad and breakdown in front of him. He wants to hold her, listen to why she's so emotionally closed off and wipe her tears away. He wants to be there as her boyfriend, and not how those other guys treated her. It made Natsu sick thinking about.

What happened with her parents? He knew something was very wrong with her father. The way she avoided the subject that one time was very obvious, and he wanted to know why Mavis was her parental figure and not her father. Natsu wasn't stupid. He knew something wasn't right with her family, and he couldn't help but wonder if that has to do with Lucy's closed off personality.

He didn't go see her at Lunch. Natsu was upset with her, and he didn't think he was being childish for feeling so. Instead, he ate with his friends for once. Cana, Lisanna, Gray and Loke. The others had a different lunch, Levy and juvia being A, and Gajeel and Elfmen having C. He can't imagine what those two talk about… the two biggest students in school probably looked intimidating, but Gajeel was rather soft, at least that's what Levy always says, and Elfmen sometimes changes his morals about being manly because he actually cries a lot, despite how big and muscular he is.

"What's with the long face?"

Natsu knew it was Lisanna asking because nobody else at the table right now would care enough to ask about his mood. They were too busy discussing things that just made Natsu angry, like the photos taken of Lucy this morning. It wasn't fair. He sometimes hated how attractive Lucy was because she looked good from every angle possible and every photo he sees of her is beautiful and she looks breathtaking. She's extremely photogenic and Natsu couldn't help but wonder what she looks like as a child. He'd love to see some baby pictures or ones in elementary or middle school when she wouldn't be perfect all the time. But Natsu knows she not perfect, everyone in this school just thinks she is.

"'M fine." He mumbled, fingers scrolling through his and Lucy's texts from yesterday night and this morning. He liked reading them. It made him happy for some reason, and that was the other reason he's been looking at his phone. Natsu was just lonely and sad… but reading their messages only left a bitter sweet feeling on his tongue. He just wished they could act like a normal couple without having to sneak around. Then maybe they could do couple things and not be stuck inside.

"Natsu, you're not listening!" Cana smacked her hand down on the grey lunch table and looked up at him with her chest slumped down on table. It didn't affect him. Nobody affected him except Lucy. When Natsu didn't even look up at her, the brunette furrowed her brows in worry and nudged Loke's side next to her. "You think he's already heard the news? He does like Miss. Heartfilia."

That caught Natsu's attention, so he locked his phone and finally looked up at his four friends. "What're you talking about?"

"Gray and Loke are already heartbroken about it." He looked between his two male friends, Gray seeming to have a rather sad expression, but Loke looked more interested in him, for some reason.

"Spit it out. What about her." He swears to god if it really is about her panties then he really will go back to his previous statement and punish the shit out of her.

"Sensitive, huh?" Cana's smirk only widened as she took a long gulp of whatever alcohol she had in her opaque, plastic water bottle, but she released the straw with an over exaggerated 'ahh' and leaned forward over the table again. "I happened to have a shitty night with a guy and needed some booze afterwards. Miss. Heartfilia was at the pharmacy buying condoms, lube, and plan b."

All his friends watched him with interest as his eyes widened, and he shifted a bit nervously in his seat.

"So you really do like her?" Lisanna asked, before her hand playfully hit his arm and she smiled knowingly at him. "Natsu, you finally have a crush on a girl! This is amazing! I do wish it could be with someone a little more realistic though."

Yeah, Natsu likes her, and yeah he wished Lucy wasn't his teacher, but it was definitely realistic and she was definitely in his grasp because Lucy bought those things for his sake and because he came inside her. His eyes only widened because they forgot about the pill. He was so focused on the lollipop thing and Lucy's thigh high boots that he completely forgot she had to take it. Well fuck, he's not entirely sure how plan b works. How long until its ineffective? Is it too late for her to take it?

Natsu suddenly stood up off the bench and grabbed his phone off the table. "I-I'll see you guys later."

Natsu caught the look of pity her got from Cana and Lisanna, but the look Loke sent him completely flew right over his head. He hopped off the bench and ran out of the cafeteria towards Lucy's room. People looked at him oddly, but he's done far more strange things in this school, so he ignored them and just made his way up the stairs and around the corner. Natsu didn't know what this odd feeling was. It wasn't that he didn't want Lucy to have his baby because for the first time in his life, he thought about being a dad. Natsu always assumed he would grow up single, but he wanted Lucy to have his kid. He knew it wasn't the right time though, things were already complicated enough, and despite how he would feel somewhat grounded and more at ease if Lucy was pregnant, he knew his thinking was crazy and obsessive, and that he can't be a dad while Lucy is still his teacher. But he also had something he needed to do before Lucy took the pill so he was afraid she already took it.

He slammed her classroom door open without checking to see if someone was already inside, but luckily it was only Lucy. She looked up at him a bit worried as he shut the door behind him and approached her slowly.

"W-where were you? Lunch is almost over."

Once he got to her desk, Natsu spun her chair towards him, and dropped on his knees to place both his hands on her stomach. Lucy's brows furrowed in confusion when he looked up at her, and he felt his heart beating hard in worry. He really hopes he's not too late. "Did you take the pill yet?"

"No…" Lucy looked at him oddly. "You said to wait for you."

Oh thank the gods.

Sighing in relief, Natsu wrapped his arms around Lucy's hips and rested his head on her lap. He was so close to what he was so concerned about before, but that didn't mean anything to him this second. "I thought you would have already killed it."

"Natsu..." she whispered, hands settling on his head and neck. "That's not how plan b works. I can't kill a baby if it hasn't even formed." Natsu peeked up at her a bit hesitantly as Lucy ran her fingers through his hair so tenderly with that look of fondness across her expression again. "I wouldn't kill our child Natsu. I don't believe in abortion… I don't think a baby should have to pay for the consequences of our mistake… The only time I think it would be okay is if a girl was sexually assaulted, but that obviously didn't happen with us, right?"

Natsu nodded a bit. "How does it work then?"

"Well you see, right now your little sperm is swimming through me to try and find my egg. Most of them are getting there maybe a few hours ago. What plan b does is it stops the sperm from fertilizing my egg. But if it's already happened, then it won't allow the egg to attach itself to my uterus wall. It's not a baby." Lucy smiled down at him, and pushed the hair back off of his forehead. "Besides, this is just a precautionary. My period starts in five days so I'm not even fertile right now."

"Oh," Natsu wasn't sure if he was happy or not, but he figured it was for the best.

"Why did you want me to wait for you anyways?"

"I just…" Natsu blushed a bit and buried his face in her tummy as he squeezed Lucy tight. "I-I wanted to say goodbye before you took it."

Lucy's hand on his head froze, but when he pulled back to look up at her nervously, she was looking down at him with that fond look again. He's seeing it more and more often as the days go by, and he liked her looking at him liked that. "You'll make a good dad Natsu."

"Really?" He brightened at her praise and smiled big. "Do you wanna have kids?"

She scratched her cheek in thought and averted her gaze from him. "I do, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm cut out for it."

"Why?"

Lucy seems like she'd be a very good mom so he didn't understand why she thought that. She was a teacher and teachers have more of an influence on kids than people think. Natsu always hated the teachers who seemed to hate them. Why were they teachers if they didn't enjoy teaching or them? But Lucy wasn't like that. He can tell how eager she is finally being about to begin the actual lessons. Before, class was mostly boring and review of things everybody knew with a little bit of added information, but Lucy said she was assigning their first project on Monday and Natsu could tell how excited she was about it. Lucy never tells him anything, she seems to keep a tight lip, but how excited and how much she seemed to almost explode was really cute and he was looking forward to Monday and seeing how hyper she is to tell the class about the project. He knew she was a good teacher and he knew she loved them and she loved that she was doing, and that rubs off on them, the students, more than Lucy could ever know. She got the class involved, and even made people laugh at her dorky jokes. Well, Natsu thinks they're really laughing at Lucy because she finds herself hilarious. She really is cute, and he knew she'd be a good mom. If only Lucy knew that herself.

She fidgeted a bit nervously as she looked down at him and fumbled with his hair. "I just— I never…" Lucy sighed and looked away from him. "N-never mind. You can say your goodbyes before the bell rings and I'll take the—"

Natsu cut her off with a firm squeeze to her middle. "Tell me. I wanna know."

Lucy very uncomfortable, but nodded and continued to avoid his gaze. Whatever she was saying obviously made her nervous so if not looking at him helped then he was okay with it. He could still stare at her, after all.

"M-my mom died from sickness when I was seven and my father treated me different afterwards. I just… I don't have the confidence to have a kid because I don't want what happened to them to happen to me. What if something happens and I leave them all alone. I would be terrified who they're left with would treat them like my father did with me. I know how it feels to be abandoned, and I know how it feels to lose someone you love with all your heart. I… couldn't stand it if something happened to my child like what happened to me."

Natsu has so many questions, like how did her father treat her, and if she was okay now, but he knew she was done talking about it by her stern expression and hard eyes. It made Natsu sigh and he had no idea what to say. But isn't that something every one who's having a kid feels? Having to leave them and not doing a good job?

"I'm sure your mom was worried about that too, Luce. If she was sick, then she must have known it was coming. Maybe nobody else did, but I'm sure she did, and I'm sure she was worried about you. But that didn't stop her from loving you and caring for you. You can't let that stop you when everyone who has a kid is scared to leave them. And I'll be with ya, so even if ya are gone, I would never treat our kid different. I wouldn't leave them or be mean. I could never do that."

For the third time today, Lucy looked at him with that fond look and it made him happy. He's guilty for wishing Lucy cried so he could comfort her, but she didn't. She only smiled at him and leaned down to hug his head a bit awkwardly. Natsu could feel her breasts on his head and her silky hair slid down her shoulders and on to his. He liked how it felt. He liked her. He liked Lucy a lot. And he wished he could find a way to support her more. But he was just a child, just a high school student who couldn't do much, and it was frustrating.

"Natsu?"

"Hmm?"

"I should probably take the pill now."

"O-oh, just gimme a minute."

Lucy didn't move away from him and just continued to hug him. He could feel her smile against his back, and he liked the way she kissed him along his spine tenderly. It honestly tickled a little, but he liked it. Natsu just wishes he didn't have a shirt on so he could feel her lips on his skin directly.

Natsu was too embarrassed to say anything out loud, so he just nuzzled into her tummy and whispered a quiet goodbye. Once he pulled back, Lucy smiled at him then slightly turned her chair to search her bag for the cardboard box and her water bottle. After she gulped it down, Natsu slowly stood up, but leaned one hand on the armrest of her chair and bent over to kiss her on the lips. "I have a new rule I came up with, Lucy."

She smiled against him and looped her arms around his neck with her spin arched so she was sitting straight up. "What's that."

"We're only allowed to have sex once a week."

"W-what?" She pulled away from him slightly, but kept her hands on his shoulder. "Why? Did you not like it?"

"No, I loved it. I'd just rather be spending time with you and learning about you than having sex. We are in a real relationship, after all."

Lucy slowly nodded and dropped her hands off him all the way. "Only once?"

"Only once."

"Are we allowed to do other things?"

Natsu thought about for a moment, but shook his head. "Not as often as we have been. Don't get me wrong, Luce. I love touching you and kissing you, but I just wanna do nothing with you too."

He could tell she was confused by the way her brows furrowed. "Nothing?"

"Yeah, like I just wanna chill in your apartment and watch ya grade papers. Or talk about deep stuff like… like your favorite animal…?"

"Mines a bunny." Lucy laughed at him, but quirked a curious brow. "Yours?"

"A dragon." Lucy made a very unladylike snort, but it was cute in its own way. He couldn't help his amused chuckle and fond smile. There was just a lot of fondness going around today.

"You're cute." Lucy teased, and smiled at him as she stood up off her chair, then walked him over to the door. "I'll see you in sixth hour."

"What're we doing today?"

"More practice work. Just a few more days till Monday though!"

"Mhmm,"

His hand slid on the small of her back and he cupped her cheek to run a thumb under her eye. "Don't forget our date though."

"I would never." Lucy laughed a bit cutely as her hands slid to rest on his chest. Lucy stared up at him with an adorable pout on her lips and leaned up on her tip toes with a grumpy expression. "Kiss me already so you can leave, Natsu. The bell is about to ring."

"Mmm, maybe I'll wait a minute the—" Lucy slapped his chest hard and glared up at him. "Kidding…" He finally leaned down to press his lips to hers and melted at the feel of her soft, plump lips against his rough ones. Natsu was in a teasing mood so he quickly pulled back and grabbed the door handle. "By the way, I found out who saw you at the pharmacy." Lucy's mouth dropped open, but Natsu just smirked at her and quickly left with the door slamming shut behind him. He new he was fucked, but was also looking forward to being scolded. Anything that makes it feel like they're in a real relationship made him happy. So being yelled at by the girl he likes had a surprising appeal to it. He was excited to see her livid face and cute, grumpy eyes.
