Sitting in a tavern late one night Natsu takes a big swig of his beer. Team Natsu has just finished their latest mission and decided to crash at the towns local hotel/tavern before heading back tomorrow. Everyone else had opted to go to bed, tomorrow's early start on the train making them want to be bright eyed and ready for the day.
Natsu, not yet tired and knowing he would be sleeping on the train tomorrow decided to stay in the main bar area and grab a bite to eat. He was starving anyway.
He listens to the noise around him and sighs as he waits for his food. In hindsight this is kinda boring and he wishes at least Happy would have stayed. But even the blue feline had opted for rest.
Thinking back, Natsu smiles at how banged up everyone had gotten, he wasnt pleased by their wounds but prideful knowing how strong they are together. They made the best team!
He hears the waitress come back and turns to watch her, well actually watch the food she's carrying. Natsus mouth waters at the spread she sets down in front of him, the smell making his stomach rumble with glee.
He digs in messily and grins at her appalled face knowing she'd leave him alone now. She had called him handsome earlier when she took his order and dragged her hand down his shoulder, nails scratching him just a bit.
Natsu isn't an idiot. Well, everyone says he is. And although he doesn't know much about a lot of different things, he does KNOW things. So, he's not as much of an idiot as they think.
Granted most of his knowledge is based on his instincts, but he also hears things. Generally ignores them, but it can't always be helped. He grew up around Fairy Tail! There's ALWAYS some kind of talk going on.
Nastu has been on the receiving end of "The Talk" more than once. He got it and understood the first time, but apparently, they decided he needed to hear it again. And again.
So, it's not that he DOESNT know. He's just never cared. His life has always been about testing his abilities, food, Igneel, and protecting his family.
He knew she had been "flirting" with him. He'd seen Lucy do it enough to get discounts to know what it was. But he wasn't interested. She wasn't quite right for his tastes. Not that she wasn't pretty. But she wasn't what he wanted. Didn't even smell remotely interesting.
Natsu snorts around a barbecue rib as he hears some drunkards at the next table talk about their latest but false escapades, he can hear the lie in their tones. They're lucky Erza isn't here, she wouldn't stand for their kind of chatter, not with how explicit they are.
In fact, shes probably the reason he grew up so respectful in the first place. Natsu shivers thinking about the punishment he'd get if he even so much as stared at a girls ass and the red head caught him. One time was enough and he vowed never again.
Until Lucy. Another reason he decided to grab a bite to eat instead of go back and sleep.
The pink haired man quickly finishes his meal. He tosses money on the table for the bill and leaves. Natsu heads around the back of the tavern and makes sure no ones looking before climbing a nearby tree. He hops from the tree to the roof of the 3 story tavern and settles himself down on his back, hands behind his head.
The night sky is clear and a gentle but warm breeze flows through the air. Both the moon and the stars are clearly visible and Natsu thinks Lucy would love to see them. Closing his eyes Natsu sighs at the thought.
Lucy.
She's been nothing but hell on his senses lately. Groaning in annoyance he rolls to his side.
'I'm an idiot,' he thinks. Knowing full well she's been plaguing his senses since the very beginning.
That first day, he didn't even realize it. Looking back now though, he remembers how comforting and warm her scent was. He hadn't been exactly the most self-aware person back then but he damn well knows better now.
It took time, but one day he'd caught himself breathing deeply from her lingering sweet scent on his scarf. She had borrowed it from him on a particularly cold mission and didn't give it back until they got home. The scent reminding him of syrup. It made his mouth water.
At first after catching himself he'd been embarrassed and tried to resist doing it. But the temptation was too strong. Natsu had been anxious, trying to ignore the small wafts of Lucy's scent that would sneak out every time he moved. His body felt hot and he was unusually clammy.
When it finally became too much he found himself in an almost coma like state breathing in her scent in a secluded corner of the guild. Curled up on the floor in the back of the guild storeroom he had squinted his eyes in concentration and his mouth hung open as her scent filled his nose. Sending heat and need through his body.
That's how of all people Gajeel had found him.
Past:
"Damn Salamander, what the hells wrong with you?" Gajeel snickers out.
Natsu tenses and growls at him, clutching the scarf tighter to his face not liking the other dragon slayer near him at the moment, especially with his senses do filled with Lucy. A surge of 'Fight! My space!' Flooding his mind.
"Calm down, I'm not going to touch you I'm just here to get some more salt, we're out up front." the black-haired dragon slayer says.
But it does nothing to ease Natsus tension. He stares at Gajeel and growls again, wanting him to leave, not liking him invading his space.
Gajeel raises his eyebrow and sniffs. Natsu snarls at him for it. But the the pierced man just snags the giant salt container, eyes still locked with Natsus, his grin widening as he fully takes the pink haired man in. "Yo, your eyes are pitch black you know that? We have food in here dumb ass, you better deal with IT soon before someone else come in. Or I'm sending bunny girl in here and I'm guessing you wouldn't want her to see you getting off to her smell, gihi!"
Natsu growls at him as he leaves, scarf still attached to his nose. He gathers all his strength to ignore the pulsing heat in his pants. But it takes a long time for him to calm down. Even longer to pry the scarf from his face.
Present:
Natsu sighs again, that's when THIS had all started. It's been a year or so since then. He's done his best to push through his strange urges, but he can't always help it. He thinks of the random pieces of her clothes he couldn't help but take. He'd spend the few quiet moments he got filling his senses with her smell, unable to resist stroking himself as his mind wondered. He's always returns the clothes before she noticed of course.
It had taken him a long time to get used to idea that Lucy's scent caused him to pop his first true boner along with many, many more. But, he's not one to be embarrassed long. So, he feels no shame indulging in her scent any chance he can.
It also hadn't occurred to him until much later that the reason her scent had gotten to him so worked up that time, was because she was in heat. He'd smelled it before of course, piqued his interest just enough but it hadn't made him react much. Just sent a little spark of heat through his bones, kind of like a small itch. Luckily no one else's scent did this to him.
Having her fresh heat scent that close to his nose really screwed him up. And the clothes she wears for fucks sake. The few times he's seen her naked? Yeah. That has him all kinds of fucked.
Had he not caught her scent so strongly that time, Natsu thinks he'd still be where he is. Maybe a bit more clueless though.
Natsu huffs as heat creeps up his spine from the memory of the last time he'd accidentally seen her naked. He sits up from the not nearly cold enough roof tiles and frowns down at the throbbing bulge in his pants.
He doesn't want to go to their team shared room. Ever since that day in the storeroom he's been hyper aware of her heat scent.
A scent that currently lingers on her now. And he doesn't exactly want to be around his other teammates sporting a raging boner. Erza would skin him for sure.
Although Lucy, her reaction would be interesting.
A smirk forms on his face as the last month comes to mind. She had been responsive to him. He hadn't thought to go as far as he did. Natsu only wanted to tease her, seeing her flush at his confession had sent a thrill down his spine.
He was surprised when she gave him full access to her legs. A bad choice on her part, but he wasn't going to tell her that. Having her soft smooth skin all to himself, he's a dragon and their known to be greedy sometimes.
The noises she made while he rubbed her skin and muscles caused him issue though. It made him impatient. Made him want to lie down on top of her right then and press against her. Show her exactly what she'd been doing to him, make her scream his name in pleasure.
But he didn't do that. Instead he had teased her, making her face go red being one of his favorite past times, and inadvertently teased himself.
Hearing her heartbeat speed up and her breath stutter pleased him to no end. It wasn't until the sweet scent of her arousal that he realized he fucked up. Arousal is something he has smelled before, from others. Never from someone interested in what HE was doing though. And never from Lucy. At least directly. He had of course smelled it faintly in her bed sheets. But nothing like this.
It had taken every ounce of control he had to not rip her lace panties off. It had nearly killed him when his thumb brushed across the side of them and a fresh wave of the scent washed over him. So he did the only think he could think of, made a joke to make her blush and got the hell outta there.
Natsu laughs and scratches his nose. "No way she'd have let me live if I had stayed," he states dryly to the breeze.
The pink haired dragon slayer shivers and he growls remembering the way she had said his name and the noises she made when he had her pressed against her counter, how fast her heart jumped in her chest, and the scent of sweet arousal mixed with a deep musk. "Fuck Lucy is going to kill me one day," he whines to himself.
He decides then, camping out on the roof is his only option. Natsu wouldn't last a minute cooped up with her in a small hotel room. It wouldn't matter if he had to share a twin bed with Ice-Dick or knowing that Erza was sleeping close to Lucy, always ready to jump into action at the smallest threat. None of that would make a difference. He's end up attacking his friends.
If he was going to do anything with her, it wouldn't be in the company of others. Natsu growls at the idea then snorts at how territorial he is. His cock gives another throb and he grits his teeth.
Quickly Natsu unzips his shirt vest and rolls it up into a makeshift pillow. He leans back against the tiles and shivers as the coolness touches his heated skin. It's not enough, but it'll do. Reaching down he adjusts the hardness in his pants, ignoring the spike of interest that goes through him at the contact.
He blinks at the night sky again before closing his eyes for good, Natsu knows it's going to be a long night. A grin spreads across his face as the next part of his plan is soon to unfold.
Next Day:
The train ride is absolutely terrible. He HATES trains. Natsu groans as his stomach pinches for the umpteenth time. Gentle fingers brush soothingly through his hair and he sighs. Thankfully Lucy hadn't revoked his lap privileges from their last trip.
He breathes only through his mouth to avoid taking any of her delicious scent in and causing a weird nausea boner. He doesn't want that memory, ever.
Turning his head towards her stomach he feels her tense and then relax under him. Curiously he breathes out and feels her covered (thankfully by shorts and not a skirt) thighs jerk and clamp tighter together. Natsu would grin in triumph if he wasn't so sick.
He behaves and dozes the rest of the way home, not wanting to chance losing this and having Erza try to help him. His stomach uncoils as soon as he's on solid land and he whoops in joy.
Natsu leads the team back to the guild, when he bursts in he can't stop himself from picking a fight. 'It's good to be home!' He thinks.
He doesn't get as far into it as he usually would though. Natsu has a plan and he wasn't going to get distracted from it. Keeping an eye on Lucy he laughs and kicks Grey in the side, pushing him into a few others and causing an even bigger fight to break out.
He grins and locks eyes with Happy. The blue cat flys him around while he kicks at his guild mates or grabs them and throws them into each other. Happy let's him drop though when a stool whizzes by. "You're on your own Natsu!" He cackles as he fly's away, leaving Natsu directly in the middle of everything.
A little later when he sees his blonde partner gather herself to head home, Natsu breaks carefully away from the brawl and catches up to her. "Wait for me and Happy Lucy!" He grabs their travel gear and puts the pack on. He grunts at the weight in his back.
She turns and smiles at him. "Happy is staying with Wendy and Carla tonight, he said something about having a movie night and giving her the fish he got this morning at the market," Lucy says as she carefully maneuvers around a few unconscious guild members.
Natsu chuckles at his little buddy and follows her out of the guild. Mentally he thanks Happy for going along with his plans. The warm summer air hits Natsu and he breathes in deeply for the first time through his nose. The breeze carries Lucy's sweet scent right to him.
With eyes half lidded he follows behind her. Lucy doesn't seem to notice him lagging behind and a small smirk creeps up on his face. He watches her hips as they sway in front of him enticingly.
Natsu shoves his hands in his pockets and continues to breathe in her scent. Heat stirs in him and he growls lowly.
Without Erza or anyone else around he's free to let his eyes roam across her curves. Natsus hands twitch in pockets as he thinks about what it would feel like to run his palms down her back, fingers brushing her sides, and stoping at full hips. His eyes lock on her ass and he admires every move the muscles make as she walks. Mavis he loves her ass.
He's done this many times, staring at her completely oblivious form. He's gotten good at feigning innocence when caught too. Turning the tables and asking her why SHES staring at him always works.
Natsus smirk widens. Lucy hasn't caught on yet that he knows, but she's let her eyes wander his from many many times. He's caught her brown eyes darken and the slight red tint on her cheeks more times than he can count.
Seeing her get heated and smelling her getting turned on by him has made him confident, which is why he had teased her mercilessly last month. He's always loved seeing her squirm.
His smirk falls just a little though as he thinks about the night he had Lucy pressed to her counter. Natsu knew from the incident with the couch that she wanted him. Pinpointed right then what her heated looks have meant prior to that day. But having her against the counter, throbbing dick pressed against her plush warm ass, he was almost senseless.
She would have let him continue. Of that he's sure. He could have made her HIS. But it wasn't exactly right. She may want him, he's pretty sure she's never wanted anyone else just by the fact of scent alone. But he wasn't just going to TAKE like some barbarian.
Lucy was worth more than that. He wanted all of her, his instincts telling him she was his, his mate, his partner, his Lucy. And he wanted to be hers. He wasn't sure she felt as deeply as he did.
So, he would wait, but that didn't mean he wouldn't hunt her, he's a dragon after all. And he'd make her want him as a mate.
Natsus smirk widens again as she sways a little to a beat she's humming to herself.
Hunting her for the last few months has quickly become is favorite activity. He had started with small things throwing his arm over her shoulder, sitting with their thighs touching, making her blush every chance he got. Brushing his hands against her on "accident", liking the way her breath would stutter at the touch and how her heart would hammer away adorably in her chest.
The couch had been a true happy accident. But it cemented that he had a real shot with Lucy and stoked a fire in his belly.
He had let her cool off after the counter incident and think he'd forgotten all about last month. Now that they're home for a while, It was time to heat things up again.
Lucy:
Lucy hums to herself happy to be home and getting to sleep in her own soft bed! The mission had been an amazing success and she had enough jewel to last two whole months! She smiles wide and turns around to face Natsu to ask him what they should do for dinner, but the words get stuck in her throat.
Her face burns as she notices where his half open eyes have been staring. When his dark green eyes snap up to her face and his smirk widens her heart stutters and begins to race.
Lucy stops walking and waits for him to stop in front of her. She frowns up at him face still burning.
"Sup Lucy?" Natsu casually asks smirk still in place and dark eyes trying to play innocent.
She huffs as heat races down her spine, his gaze making her shiver just a little. "Were you staring at my butt!?" Lucy demands face heating up further.
Her partner just continues smirking at her. She had thought his weird behavior was done. Lucy didn't know if he had scared himself, or if he realized he'd taken his jokes to far. But since the night he had her pinned against her counter, he hasn't so much as winked suggestively at her much to her relief and frustration.
Lucy opens her mouth to demand an answer but is cut short. A squeak comes out instead as Nastu swiftly leans down and the top of his nose touches hers.
He doesn't say anything and Lucy's heart pounds loudly in her ears. Her eyes flick down to his lips when she notices his tongue wetting them. Lucy can't help but do the same to her own. Her thigh muscles tighten when she hears the quiet but deep growl he lets out.
In a flash he's out of her face. Lucy yelps and jumps in surprise as his warm hand smacks her right on her butt and SQUEEZES as he glides past her. "Can't help it if you walk in front of me Lucy," his growls out with a rough voice.
'Did NATSU just...grab my ass?!' Stunned Lucy doesn't move, she's feeling a mixture of embarrassment, confusion, anger, and the stirrings of being turned on. She doesn't know which one to lean on and the blonde is startled when Natsu calls out to her again.
"Come on Lucy! I'm starving!" He whines.
She looks at him and sees his demeanor has all but changed back to the Natsu she's used to, his hands are behind his head and his body is relaxed. Normal. Except his eyes. Those remain almost black as he stares at her from several feet away.
When she doesn't move he speaks again. "If you don't hurry up I'm going to start cooking without you, with my own fire," he grins his childish grin and that makes her react.
"Natsu you WILL NOT start a fire in my house again," she yells as she remembers his last adventure with cooking in her apartment.
Lucy races up to him thinking to give him a good thump on the head for messing with her but stops short when she sees his nostrils flare and his eyes flash. A rumble comes out of him as he stares her down. Heat rushes through her at the look.
"I think Lucy," Natsu smirks at her and Lucy gasps when his hands drop and one yanks her to him by wrapping a finger around one of the belt loops on her shorts. Lucys hands land on his covered but warm solid chest and her heart pounds desperately as he pulls them together fully.
Natsu leans down and Lucy shudders as his breath tickles her ear and his hand slides up from her shorts. It glides among her hip and his warm rough fingers brush just under her shirt.
"N-Natsu!" She stutters as his lips brush her ear and heat ripples through her body.
"I think, that I'll be starting a lot of fires in your house," Natsu whispers before biting gently at her ear and sucking the lobe into his warm mouth. Lucy gasps and arches against him.
She feels him kiss her just behind her ear before he backs away and turns around. Lucy almost gets a face full of their travel gear.
"Come on Luce stop being lazy! I'm starving," his words snap her out of her stupor.
"NATSU!" She growls out loudly before stomping after him.
