My Dearest Lucy,

It has been seven years since your disappearance. The lovely apartment that you rented when you ran away is paid for. I hope that this is the year you return. I know I was not the best father to you in your younger years but I hope that when you return you will want to at least come for tea. I have a lot to make up for but I hope you might give me the chance. Everyone says it was a waste of money to buy the building and leave it vacant. I told them, you deserved to return to your own home. You deserved me to fight for your home while you couldn't. I didn't before but I will now. I would hate for you to struggle to find another home again, not when I have the power to prevent it. I love you.

Dad

I sigh as I read the letter for the… tenth…. Eleventh time. I sit it on my desk as I sigh again. I can't believe it's been seven years. How was this possible? I guess anything is possible. I sigh heavily. Again. My landlady… I guess she is not anymore, I thought in amusement. She said she's been paid by dad to clean my apartment for me for the past seven years. He would write a letter every year and she would deliver it. Every year.

I groaned as I came to. My body hurts everywhere. My hurt, hurt. I sucked in a breath as I struggled to my feet.

"Lucy!" Natsu's voice yelled out. "Lucy!"

"I'm here." I whimpered out as I leaned against a tree. I remembered unleashing the full power of sunshine. How did the trees not melt?

How was the grass green? My friends! Where they...I couldn't dwell on it as Natsu wrapped his arms around my waist. "Don't ever do that again! You scared the shit outta me!" He whined. He picked me up bridal style and carried me towards the others.

"What happened?" I asked as I looked around the island. Everything was vibrant and green.

"I put a protective barrier around the island." A musical voice rang out. We all glanced around before seeing the first Master of Fairy Tail, Mavis Vermillion. "The heat and destructive power of your attack somehow combined with Acnologia's. The island began to disintegrate so I put the barrier around it."

Shocked gasps and shouts of disbelief. I dropped my head in shame and guilt. Had it not been for Mavis, I would have killed us all.

"You pushed Acnologia back with your power. Don't feel bad Lucy. Had it not been for your quick thinking, I would have been too late to raise the barrier and all of you would have died." She gently said. "You gave me the opening I needed so thank you." I smiled at her, relieved she didn't hate me. I steeled myself to look toward my guildmates, expecting hate and animosity, but all I was was admiration and happiness.

I stood up to lay on my bed as my back was starting to hurt, when a loud knock on my door made me jump. I groaned and was tempted to ignore it, but ultimately decided against it. I opened the door to Natsu and Happy holding their backpacks, looking crestfallen.

"Did our time on the island grant you boys manners?" I tease. Natsu's lip quirks up before dropping again. Now I'm worried, "What's the matter?"

"Our house was looted and destroyed." Happy whined, near tears.

"We're kinda homeless now." Natsu mumbled, eyes glaring at the ground. My heart lurched in sympathy as I grabbed his hand with mine to pull him and Happy inside.

"As long as I live here, you guys have a home, too." I declare. Natsu and Happy looked at me like I was a Goddess. He's voice rings in my head from a month, years technically, ago. You Are A Goddess. I smile as they put their bags on the couch.

They clean my kitchen as I rearrange my drawers to make room for Natsu's clothes. Isn't this kind of fast? I wondered to myself as I put the last of my clothes in my drawer.

"We're done, Lushi." Happy says as he and Natsu walk toward me. Natsu wrapped his arms around me and kissed me gently.

"They love each other!" Happy giggled as I blushed. He wasn't wrong though.

"We have to go grocery shopping. We don't have any food." Natsu says. We got groceries, replaced Natsu's clothes, and bought Happy a giant cat tree with tunnels he could sleep in. He demanded I buy it because he didn't want to be in the same bed as us.

"Hurry up, Luce." Natsu called for the umteenth time. I rolled my eyes.

"You could leave without me like Happy did!" I clapped back in annoyance.

"Never!" He shouted. I walked out of the bathroom and gave him a hug. He hugged me back tightly and asked, "Do you wanna stay home, Luce?" It was a tempting offer but I missed the guild. We missed so much. Everyone who wasn't on the island was seven years older. Bisca and Al had a beautiful little girl. The guild lost popularity. Many people I used to see every day have gone to greener pastures. We had to be at the guild party tonight. We had to give everyone hope. We had to show the others we were still a family.

"No." I mumbled out as I took a step back and pushed him outside. After I closed the door the front of my body was pinned against it.

"Don't get Drunk at the party." Natsu whispered in my ear. "I'd like to have my face buried in-between your thighs at some point tonight." I flushed with arousal as he stepped back to gaze at me. I loop my hands around his neck to push his scarf up slightly and press my lips to his neck, reveling in the shuddering breath he released.

"If I agree, what else will happen, Natsu?" I asked innocently but my eyes swam with dirty desires.

His pupils dilate as he pins me against the door again, his cock hardening against my lower belly. He grabs a handful of my hair to tilt my head back, "I'll fuck you so hard, all of Magnolia will hear you scream in pleasure." He growls out before pressing urgent lips against mine. His tongue demands entrance as I wrapped one of my legs around his to grind against his erection.

"You guys may wanna go inside unless you plan to fuck right here." Loke's annoyed voice rang out. I pushed Natsu back as I blushed and sheepishly mumbled, "We should go." Natsu adjusted his pants, grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the guild.

The party is in full swing. Gajeel is on stage serenading Levy who is blushing and giggling. Jet and Droy are jealous they can't get her attention. Cana and Laxus are trying to out drink each other. Natsu and Happy are eating.. everything, while they talk to Lisanna and Erza. Wendy is curled in a corner sleeping with little Asuka in her lap and also sleeping. Macao is twirling Laki… I missed this, I thought as I sat at the bar. "Tonight is a night for celebration! We celebrate being home, we celebrate Laxus returning home, we celebrate being alive!" Master's voice rang out as everyone cheered.

"Natsu told me about his and Happy's house." Mira said to me as she handed me a shot glass. I recalled Natsu's passion earlier and was about to reject it when she said, "This is an elixir that gives the body a euphoric feeling and increases sensitivity to touch. It lasts for a few hours. Happy is staying with us tonight so you and Natsu take as long as you need. Have fun" She winks, I blushed and glanced at Natsu who is talking admittedly with Lisanna. He glanced up, locked his eyes with me and smiled. I smile back before turning to Mira. I take the drink and knock it back.

I walk to the dance floor where there are drunk people swinging and swaying to the music. I feel fuzzy as I twirl to the beat of the song.

I can feel the bass in my bones as I dance. Tonight's going to be fun. I think to myself as I feel Natsu's eyes on me. I feel as if I'm dancing for him as we lock eyes. He licks his fingers before standing. He walks slowly toward me, eyes never breaking from mine. When he reached me I twirl so my back was against his front.

"I love you." He whispered in my ear as we swayed back and forth to the song. My body tingled in delight as He placed his hand on my shoulders and trailed them slowly down my arms. I moaned softly, grateful the music was loud. He leaned down to kiss the mate mark on my neck through my hair. He intertwined our hands and spun me around so we were face to face, pulled me close and laid his head on my shoulder. He let go of my hand and trailed it back up my arm before tangling it in my hair. "I need to be inside you Lucy." He muttered, voice laced with urgency and arousal.

"Last one home has to do what the winner says for the night," I challenge, taking a step back.

"Make it a whole day and you got a deal." He claps back.

I turn and run as fast as I can out the guild doors with him right on my heels.

" I guess this means you're mine for a whole day." He whispered against my neck as I was pushing his vest off. He stepped back to shrug it off, "I'm yours forever." I breathe out, "..But sure, we'll go with that." He shudders and drops to his knees, reaches up and ripped my skirt and panties. I should hate that but, damn it was so hot.

He leans down in-between my legs, pulls me forward by my hips so I'm sitting with the back of my thighs on his shoulders; my core was in his face, my back against the wall. My hands were tangled In his hair as he breathed against me. "This is my second favorite thing to do to you. Did you know that, Luce?"

"What's the first?" I ask as I lock eyes with him. He licks at my clit, not quite pressing it as I let out a whimper.

"Wrapping my tongue around yours." He then began eating me out enthusiastically.

I moaned loudly, toes curling against his back as I pulled his hair. His arms curl around my thighs to the front of my body and slip under my shirt. I shout in reverent praise as he plays with my nipples. "I'm gonna cum!" I Chant repeatedly as he increases the pace of his tongue. My back lifts off the wall as I throw my head to the heavens and scream his name. He stands up, kicks his pants away, lifts me by my thighs and roughly thrusted into me. The force takes my breath away as he sets a pounding rhythm. I coiled around him. My shouts of pleasure increased in pitch as I tightened around him. "You wanna cum?" He asks and he increases his pace. I nod rapidly, Not trusting myself to speak. "Then do it." I shatter as I scream another release. He spun us around so my back was facing the room, pulled out, twirled me so my back was on his front, bent me over the table and entered me. He was so deep and he set another ruthless pace. Feeling him slam into me at the angle was intense as he reached around to rub circles on my clit. "Yes! Natsu! Yes!" I shouted as he tangled his other hand in my hair and tugs. I constricted around him like a vice, he let out a loud groan while increasing his tempo. He released my hair and trailed his hand down my back to the ring of muscle above where we were currently joined and pressed his finger inside. I scream another release. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The rush of liquid dripped down my legs and onto the table. He pulls out, turns me around, lifts me by my butt to sit me on the counter and thrusted inside me. I moaned loudly as he licked at my tongue, his pace quick but not pounding. Yet. He reached around and stuck his finger in my butt again as he growled out, "if you could see you how I do right now… all your holes filled by me... You are beautiful Lucy!" He quickened his pace and angles himself so the front of his pelvis is brushing against my clit with each of his thrusts. I pant loudly as we lick at each other. I loudly shouted Natsu's name during my release while he gazed at me with curious eyes. He slowed his pace and kissed me deeply. He snapped up as if struck by an idea, pulled out, and bridal style carried me to the bathroom.

"Natsu? What…?" I am pushed against the counter as I'm face to face with myself in the mirror. I blush as his head appears over my shoulder. His hands trail up my side taking my shirt with them. I moan as he pushes my shirt over my head. I'm fully naked with my nipples fully erect. Natsu kisses my shoulder as he plays with my breast. The feeling of his warm hands on my bare skin is heaven as he flicks my nipples. I feel him hard against the ring of muscle his finger was in earlier. I blush as I see and feel one his hands trail down my body towards my womanhood.

His eyes lock onto mine as I place my hands on the counter. He began rubbing circles around my clit while simultaneously slipping the tip of him in my butt. My mouth dropped and my head flopped forward. I lifted my head to see the most intense look on his face. "Don't look away, Luce. I want you to see just how beautiful you are when you cum."

He pressed a finger, followed by a second, then a third as he pressed himself deeper inside my butt. I lean forward a little as I moan a little louder. He used his palm to circle my pleasure button as he fingered me. He used the other hand that was on my breast to tangle in my hair and push upwards to kiss across the back of my neck. I moaned as he increased the speed of his fingers. His hips moved slightly faster as he went deeper and deeper, faster and faster behind me. My skin started to sparkle as my mouth dropped open to pant. I looked like… I knew I was pretty but, wow. I tightened all parts of me, my scream echoing across the bathroom. He bites my shoulder as he slows. I pant as he turns me around so we are face to face and slides inside where his fingers just were. He kisses me full of so much love and passion, my eyes water. He sees my tears and freezes. "Are you ok?"

"I'm so perfect Natsu. I love you so much." I say as I push myself on him to set a rhythm myself. He grips my hips so my legs wrap around his waist, and uses one of his hands to push me back slightly to capture a nipple in his mouth. More loud moans as he picks up his tempo while swiping his tongue back and forth across my nipple. "Yes!" I Chant as he draws his tongue up my body to the juncture of my neck. I feel his passion. His love. His magic. My love. My passion. My magic. I roll my head, my hair flipping from one side, across my back to the other side before resting on his shoulder. Our magic tangles and ignites the candles in the bathroom. In the corner of my eyes I see the tower of fire from each candle stand tall. I can feel the heat lick at my skin. I can feel his urgent pace. I'm close. He's close. We're close. Natsu. Natsu! Natsu! Who knew that when you feel something so good, you'll cry? I scream his name as tears of joy and pleasure stream down my face. His loud groan at his release made me smile widely. This was an incredible moment. And I got to share it with the person I love more than anyone in the world. There was a click in my head. I finally understood why dad became so withdrawn after mom died.

The fire fizzled out as Natsu and I collapsed to the ground. I tried to grab the counter but I didn't have the strength to hold on. So my hands slid off it like a knife through butter. He grunted and he took my weight. I tried to roll off him as I squeaked, "I'm sorry!" But his arms encircled across my back to prevent me from moving. It's quiet as we catch our breaths.

"Do you want a shower or lie down in bed?" He questioned after a moment. I thought about it. On one hand the warmth of water on my body would feel good, on the other hand Natsu and I could cuddle and shower later.

"Bed." I choose and he sits us up. I move so he can stand up and he picks me up bridal style and carries me to bed.

I could feel the sun caress my face as I moaned softly. There is a light flicking at my clit that is making my head spin. My hands trail down my body softly before tangling in pink hair. "Natsu." I breathe, rolling my hips slightly.

"Good morning, Lucy." His voice, laced with lust as he continued his task. I moaned louder as he increased the tempo of his tongue. Then he added a finger, and a second while sucking on my clit. My toes curl as my back raises off the bed. "Natsu." I moan out as I cum.

He kissed upwards before reaching my lips and kissed me sweetly. He sat back on his knees, Lifted one of my legs on his shoulder and pressed into me slowly. I gasped as the stretch of my leg increased my pleasure. Natsu nipped my calf as he set a pace that took my breath away. I raised my hands to push on the headboard as I cheered. "Yes Natsu! Yes Natsu! Yes!" His hand that was on my waist, traveled north to tweak at my nipples. That was the straw that broke the camel's back as I was thrown Off the edge. The groan he exhaled suggested he followed me down. He collapsed next to me, forcing me to heave to my side to face him. He turned and tangled our legs together. He caressed my head to repeatedly run his fingers through my hair.

"I learned something yesterday." I murmured to him.

"Oh? What's that?" He responded.

"I finally understand why my dad chose to ignore me after my mom died. His wife. His soulmate died. And when she did, I think he did too. He didn't want to live without her." I softly explained. It sounded tragically romantic. I sigh to myself.

His eyes trailed me for a moment before replying, "it's not an excuse." I smiled at his overprotectiveness and opened my mouth. He interrupted, "I would hate to live without you, Lucy but if you graced me with a child and you died, I would cherish him or her with every part of me because it's what you would want. Neglecting a child from you would be like neglecting you. I'd never do that. When it would be time to meet in the afterlife, I'd like to tell you I loved and cherished the greatest gift you've ever given me."

My eyes tear again as I lean forward to kiss him deeply. He breaks the kiss and asks, "Where did that come from?"

Oh! That's right I didn't tell him. "My dad now owns this building. According to Landlady, he bought it after we disappeared and has been paying her to keep it clean. He kept up the hope I would return."

Natsu gaped at me.

"He wants to meet me for tea. Sometime later in the week, I want to visit him. To say thank you in person."

"Can I come?" He asked timidly.

I don't know how I feel about my soulmate meeting my estranged father but what could go wrong?

"I'd love it if you did."

I glanced out the window. "Since, I am yours for the day and we have plenty of daylight left. What would you like to do?"

He smirks and leans toward me. " I believe I told you I would fuck you on every surface of this apartment when we got back." My body

Tingles with arousal. "There are many more surfaces you haven't been on yet, Luce." He growls out before pulling me to straddle him.
