The days fell into an easy routine. They talked about journeys past, eagerly waiting for the day they could go on a job once again. They sparred, not wanting to let their skills go to waste during the quarantine. They also made good on Lucy's request that first morning, making love often and learning more about one another as a result.

Each kiss seemed sweeter than the last. Both were starting to realize just how enjoyable it was to spend time learning, bonding, and letting love grow.

On the day before the quarantine was over, Lucy woke up first. Every other morning Natsu had woken her up with soft kisses and wandering hands that inevitably led to rather steamy sex.

That morning, she wanted to return the favor. She wasn't about to let lack of experience interfere, either.

She started slow. She kissed his collarbone then let her hands and mouth travel downward, feathering soft touches on his skin.

He's so warm...not like that's a big surprise or anything…

She brushed her fingers over his nipples, watched with no small amount of curiosity as they perked up with her touch.
Curious, cautions, she flicked her tongue around the bud. He exhaled and she felt him pull her closer even as he snored.

He's not awake yet...soon… She explored his body with kisses, licks, and strokes. For the first time she truly noticed his form, the pale scars that stood out on his tan skin, toned muscles, the faint pink trail that darkened further down. Her hand found his package as her mouth ventured near his navel.

When she kissed the cross shaped scar on his lower torso she felt his cock twitch, heard him exhale.

So she did what anyone would do in this situation. She tugged his pants off, exposing her boyfriend in all his glory.

He's definitely glorious… Lucy thought as she feathered her fingers down his length.

"Lucy…" Purr. She took that as encouragement and flicked her tongue over his tip.

His eyes flew open.

"Morning, Natsu."

"Mornin' Luce. Damn what a wakeup call…"

"Glad you like it." She giggled, coy but a little bit shy.

"I love it. Go on, babygirl."

He curled his hands through her hair and let his eyes close. Lucy took that as encouragement. She swirled her tongue around his tip then engulfed him with her mouth.

Slow, careful, she took as much of his length in as she could.

No, no, too much...I don't want to overdo this… she thought as she shifted, minimizing her focus for now. She flattened her tongue, felt him twitch, heard his growl.

Then she scraped her teeth against him, thinking it would have a similar effect.

Wrong.

He exhaled, eyes now wide.

"Luce. Stop."

She obliged and released him.

"What's wrong?"

"No teeth."

"Oh...sorry. I...I've never done this before. The whole blowjob thing, I mean. I didn't mean to hurt you."

She blushed and bit her lip.

"Ya didn't hurt me, just startled me, that's all." He smiled at her as he stroked her hair.

"So can we still…?"

"Hell yeah. I'll even give you tips on what I like."

"Okayyyy, let's do this." They shifted positions. Natsu sat up, leaning against the headboard. Lucy was on her knees, fidgeting with her hair. He reached over then unbuttoned the first few buttons of her pajama top, exposed her generous cleavage.

She blushed but made no move to cover up, only gazed at him waiting for his cues.

"Start the way you did earlier. Mouth and tongue."

Lucy nodded then turned her attention to his cock. Impressive, fully erect, with a little bead of fluid forming on his head. Curious, she licked it up.

Natsu exhaled...but this time she knew he approved by the way his hand tangled through her hair.

"Like the taste?"

"Yeah." She smiled up at him.

"Mm, good. Now go on...and don't talk with your mouth full."

The tone of his voice, the look on his face indicated that yeah, he was definitely enjoying this.

And to Lucy, that made it worth it.

She took his cock into her mouth again. She closed her lips and pumped to create friction.

Purr.

"Mmmmmnnnice. Don't forget to use your hands."

She nodded. One soft hand clasped around his length and felt him throbbing with need.

"Balls too. But be careful. Not too rough, ya know?"

Tentative, almost hesitant, she cupped him. Squeezed gently.

The sound he made in response, a lusty delicious cross between a growl and a purr, sent a tingle down her spine straight between her legs.

"Just like that. Here…" He tossed her a bottle of lube from the nightstand. She squeezed some onto her hand then began pumping him anew. At the same time she took his head into her mouth and swirled her tongue around him.

Then she paused. She pulled away for a moment, leaving a trail of precum, lube, and her own saliva. Their eyes met as she licked it up then got back to pleasuring him.

Growl.

"You're such a naughty girl, Lucy…"

"You like it, though." Giggle.

"I love it. Now go on, naughty Lucy. Suck my cock."

Gods! Hearing him growling dirty talk was quite the treat. For that matter so was watching his reactions and feeling him in her mouth and hands.

As she went on he started thrusting, bucking into her mouth with the same enthusiasm he showed when they made love.

How close is he…? She had no idea, didn't think it would be polite to ask. So she kept it up, kept pumping, licking, gently squeezing.

Eventually his breaths grew harsh, accompanied by more precum leaking from his tip. He tangled his hands in her hair again, rather roughly this time.

Exhaled.

"Lucy…mnnnn Lucy…" She gazed up at him once more, eyes locked on his as she kept pumping and swirling her tongue around him. "Lu...Lucyyyyy!" He closed his eyes, jerked, shuddered, let out an exhale that sounded more like a quite satisfied growl.

For a few moments there was silence. Natsu lay back in a blissful haze, stroking Lucy's hair the whole time. She swallowed, licked her lips.

"Damn, Luce...you're amazing…"

"Thanks…" She giggled again, suddenly feeling a little shy as she re-buttoned her pajama top. "Natsu? Can we cuddle now?"

"Duh. C'mere." Snuggle, snuggle. Wrapped in his arms, covered in blanket, she felt quite at home.

Yeah, this is definitely love…

Then Natsu's voice got her attention.

"Lucy? Did you want me to return the favor? I totally will if ya want."

"Nah. I want to save my energy for later on, if that's okay."

He chuckled at that.

"I like the way you think."

"Thanks…" Lucy blushed. Then she wiggled up a little bit and kissed him. "...I never thought we'd get this far."

"Me neither. Then again I never thought I'd wake up and see ya layin' on top of me naked." Another chuckle as her blush deepened. "I love bein' more than friends with ya."

"Me too. I…" Pause. Deep breath. "I love you, Natsu."

His expression softened with her sweet words.

"And I love you, Luce. Never forget that." He stroked her cheek and nuzzled her nose with his own. She closed the distance and kissed him again, then rested her head on his shoulder.

They lay together like that for a while before dozing back off to sleep.

Eventually they would be stirred into consciousness by late afternoon sunlight flittering though the window. For now, though, our newfound lovebirds just wanted to take advantage of a rare quiet moment…
