Sometimes I just have an idea, and I run with it, okay? No judgment, please and thank you
officially moved into my new dorm and excited to be able to share more stories with you all, eek
Lucy sighed as she flopped back onto her bed, staring lazily at her ceiling. She turned onto her side, burying her nose in the scarf Natsu left for her to keep.
They said their goodbyes not too long ago, Lucy reluctant to let him out of her embrace. He didn't want to leave her either, but Natsu was explicitly requested by a client. Master Makarov told him there were no exceptions, that he expected everyone requested to go along without complaining.
He went along with Erza, Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus. The job details were to be kept private until they reached their point of contact, the only other information regarding how long it would take to complete. Three months. They'd all be gone for three months.
"I think I'll go crazy without you," Natsu sighed into her hair, nuzzling his nose against her. "Three months sounds like an eternity."
"Don't push yourself too hard, okay? I'm worried it'll be dangerous," Lucy frowned against his chest, the slayer rumbling with a chuckle. "Don't laugh; I mean it! I know you're strong enough to take care of yourself, but I don't like the idea of you fighting without me to watch your back."
"I'll keep my eyes on my back for you, okay? Imma do everything I can to make sure I return to you without a scratch!"
His cheesy wide smile made her stomach flutter, Lucy focused on the memory of his back fading over the horizon.
She never would have thought they'd have to be away from each other for so long, but what could she do? Work was work. She might as well go on one herself to stay busy.
But Lucy didn't feel very up to leaving her bed just yet. Their goodbye kiss made her even more upset that he was gone.
Natsu was socially immature in the way that he seemed like an idiot on the surface. But he was sweet and kind, gentle and patient; an overall amazing partner. Though she wouldn't have imagined them getting together when they met, there was no way Lucy could see herself with a different kind of guy. There was no one as strong, no one as sexy, no one as Natsu as Natsu was.
She sighed into his scarf, her lips still tingling from the warmth of his kiss. That was another thing; he was so warm. When he hugged her, she felt a wave of heat overcome her and settle in the depths of her body. She was so used to his body temperature, the two already a year into their relationship. How would she survive these three months without him?
The white scales of his scarf held onto his scent well enough, Lucy hoping the smell would last her until he came home.
The first few days were the hardest; she was right about missing his warmth. He rarely ever slept in his own home, Lucy used to waking up in his arms. He'd mumble his good morning and kiss her forehead, Lucy kissing his cheek. They stayed in bed, cuddling before Happy floated in, whining about how hungry he was.
The exceed went along with him, Lily, of course following Gajeel. No one wanted to have to deal with a motion-sick dragon slayer.
She spent most of her time at the guild, hanging out with Levy in the library. There were a lot of requests to have the blunette analyze and translate texts, a stack of books sent to the guild every so often. It was an easy way to make money, Lucy grateful she let her in on the cash cow. On the other hand, something like this was time-consuming, enough that she found herself staying away from her more wallowing thoughts.
"Can I get you two something to eat? It's just about dinner time." Mira said as she walked up to their table, breaking the two out of their momentary trance.
"Some curry maybe?" Levy hummed, Lucy nodding in agreement.
"Yeah, that sounds great. Could you make mine a little spicier than usual?" The blonde asked, ignoring Mira's sneaky stare.
"Do you miss Natsu that much?" Lucy rolled her eyes as the white-haired waitress left with a cheeky grin.
"I just like my curry a little more spicy now," She shrugged her shoulders. "Natsu makes it spicy for me all the time."
Lucy smiled as she ate her food, the spice reminding her of Natsu's cooking. When they first started dating and he invited her over, he'd always make her something with a little kick.
"Since you're dating a dragon now, you gotta learn how to handle your spice,"
That sentiment always made her blush, and she was surprised at how quickly she came accustomed to his peppery obsession.
Her thoughts began to wander as she slowly ate her curry, remembering when Natsu would sprinkle her chest with hot sauce and watch it dribble and puddle down her belly.
Her chewing became more languid as the fantasy continued. Lucy remembered the dark look in his eyes as he dragged his tongue down her. He moaned with every pop of his lips, the stiff tent in his pants grinding against her moistened panties.
"God, you have no idea how fucking good you taste right now, Luce."
The clatter of glass against her table broke her focus, Lucy's slightly wide eyes meeting Mirajane's happy smile.
"Strawberry milkshake on the house, just in case you burn your tongue,"
"O-Oh, thanks, Mira,"
She cleared her throat and took a long drag from the straw, hoping the blush on her cheeks wouldn't be too obvious as Mira took her time walking away.
That night, Lucy couldn't get Natsu out of her head. She had the key to his place, although he lovingly called it her home as well. She walked past the sign where he carved her name over his, her chest rising with her deep breaths as she shoved the key in the lock.
Something felt different about herself, but she couldn't put a finger on it. Maybe it was her longing for the dragon slayer and the fact that he'd been gone for nearly a month. But this felt carnal and needy, almost clingy, in a way she'd never experienced.
It wasn't a longing of missing his presence at her side, or the desire to hear his voice. It was a seeding force that made her throb and want to indulge in his attention.
The other dragon slayers lacked where Natsu excelled; his sense of smell. They were good, sure, even better than trained tracking dogs. Natsu's skill was on a whole other level. But right now, she felt as though she could rival it.
She almost dropped to her knees when she walked into their home, overwhelmed with the scent of her slayer. It was warm and inviting, somehow slightly sweet and all musk. His sweat never bothered her, he wasn't generally smelly even after a hard workout. The combination of notes and odors just made her think, Natsu.
If only he were here right now; why wasn't he here right now? She'd never felt so damn hot in her life, every corner of her body aching for his touch in this moment.
He built a bedroom for them almost a year ago, though they spent most of the time at her apartment. It felt like a quiet getaway whenever they stayed here, alone in the woods with no one else around for miles. Happy got used to staying over at Wendy's when they wanted time together.
The smell in the bedroom was even more pungent. She felt it shiver and crawl its way through her body, the celestial mage unconsciously licking her lips.
It smelled like them; raw and impassioned them. Lucy could almost visualize the moments they had in the past, the slow kisses that ended in a whirlwind of wanton love-making. The nights when she knew he was a little jealous and took out his anger on her body. Not to say he hurt her, but felt the need to enrapture her in sex she could only describe as getting fucked.
And right now, that's what she really needed. To have to wrap her arms around the pillow so tight because of the grip he'd have on her hips, their moans and the sound of their skin slapping together echoing around them.
Her hand felt shaky as she reached to pull out a drawer in their side table, exposing the plethora of sex toys they gathered thus far.
Natsu liked experimenting with different things, and Lucy was always on board. He was kind and asked her permission before ever bringing something home, or they would shop together for something new to try. The fuzzy pink handcuffs were her idea.
She pulled out a tube of lube and a thick, bright pink dildo, another memory surfacing as she began to undress.
This was one of the first toys they ever played with, and one that Lucy had had since before they got together.
It was embarrassing when he first came upon it, a sneaky smile matching her flustered frown. They'd already slept together before this point, and Lucy honestly hadn't used it in a while, but it still gave him plenty to tease her about.
He mostly liked to point out that it was pink, and there's no way she hadn't been thinking of him when she bought it. Which was true, but she refused to ever tell him the truth.
He coaxed her into using it in front of him, Lucy falling for his string of sweet nothing and pleasured cravings.
He whispered in her ear about wanting to see how it stretched her, how well she'd be able to take it in. He wanted to watch her fingers get slick with her own juices as they flowed, to watch Lucy unravel on her own.
Natsu corrupted her, there was no doubt about it. It took her a while to warm to being confident in wanting to participate in acts like this, the blonde no longer as shy to bend to his will. It was exciting in itself to put on a show for him, to know she had his turned-on, obsessed gaze.
Lucy pulled his scarf out of her bag, settling on her knees as she used the suction to stick her toy to the wooden floor. She positioned it close enough to the bedside that she'd be able to lean against it if need be, the lube proving to be unnecessary as she was basically dripping down her legs.
"Oh…that feels good…" She moaned out as she slid down the faux length, wishing it was as hot as Natsu's. She pressed his scarf to her nose and felt her body flare, the urgency to relieve herself growing to its peak.
"Mn, oh…oh Natsu…" She called out his name in breathless tones, one hand moving to toy with her breast as she bounced up and down.
His scent made her croon and feel feral, wishing over and over for her dragon to come home. This wouldn't be enough. Even with his scent and the dangerous amount of ways she had to relieve herself, it wouldn't be the same without his touch. Just what had come over her.
Lucy spent the next couple of days feeling like she was in a haze, wondering just how to satisfy herself.
She went through every toy they had, drilling herself to his scent and the memories of their sex. She recalled his words, repeating them in her head, wondering if he was right beside her at times. Her imagination crafted his heated breath against her ear, his growl as he pushed into her, his eyes cast down on her body before he started moving.
"You're so beautiful, Lucy."
She whined every time she came around the silicone toy, wishing he was there to give her a sweet kiss before cleaning her up.
The next two months felt like they'd be impossible to get through if this continued.
It continued with the spicy foods and the sudden need for his hold, for his undeniable warmth and company.
And then, one day, it suddenly hit her, when she noticed her stomach was a little more pronounced than usual. Just when was the last time she had her period?
~000~
Natsu groaned as Gray kicked him off the train, the other dragon slayers rolling out after him.
"Come on, Natsu, you gotta get up!" Happy chirped as he tugged on his collar. "We're home; you need to go see Lucy! And I need to go see Charle, so shake it off!"
"Happy's right, I'm ditchin' all of you here; Juvia's waiting at my place." The ice-make mage as he didn't mind stepping on Natsu before making his way out of the station.
"I'm good, I'm good," Natsu finally breathed out as Happy helped him to his feet. "Thanks, bud. I don't want to be any later than I already am. She was expecting us home a couple hours ago."
"Go on ahead. I'll make sure these two make it home safe," Erza waved, motioning toward Gajeel and Laxus, who were still passed out on the cobblestone.
Natsu began jogging as soon as his nausea wore off, knowing Lucy planned to wait at their place in the woods when he returned home.
He didn't realize how hard it would be to be gone for so long, even when he secretly took a shirt of hers to smell every so often. It wasn't anything compared to the real thing, and not having her within arm's reach every morning exhausted his motivation.
Tonight would be one hell of a reunion, and he was excited to see her bright smile once again.
It wasn't long before he was opening their front door, a slight frown gracing his lips as it was pitch black.
"Luce?" He knew she was home by the general smell around him; maybe she got sleepy and just went straight to bed?
There was a light coming from under their bedroom door, a couple candles probably lit, at which he smiled.
He slowly pushed open the door, relief washing over him as he found Lucy curled up in one of his shirts, holding his scarf. His nose twitched at the lingering smell of her clinging to the walls, a curtain of lewd odor practically engulfing the space. Not that he minded, but he would surely inquire about it once she was up.
He gently set his things down and approached the side of the bed, his hand gingerly cupping her face.
"Lucy? I'm home," He whispered as he pressed a kiss to her cheek, the gesture causing her to moan and shift in her sleep. "I missed you."
"The baby's okay, Mira…I don't need you…checking on me this late," She mumbled, swatting his hand away from her. He quirked a brow as she fell back asleep, his eyes falling to her midsection hidden by his shirt.
"Baby? What baby?" He lifted the material and gasped, finding the subtle roundness of Lucy's belly obvious. "Oh my god, Lucy!"
His exclamation startled her out of her sleep, Lucy rubbing the tired blurriness away to catch sight of Natsu tearing up as he stared at her stomach.
"You were pregnant this whole time, and I left? Lucy…" His lip curled as he began to weep, the blonde quickly sitting up to wrap her arms around him. "Why didn't you tell me? I would've stayed even if they needed me."
"I only found out a couple months ago myself," She laughed as he smothered his tearful face against her stomach. "Mira wanted me to send a messenger bird, but I didn't want to distract you from the job. And everyone was here to help me, not that I've had any trouble with her yet."
"Her? You think they're a girl?" He sniffled as he came out from under her shirt, Lucy nodding with a bright smile.
"Yeah, I think so," She rested her hand against her tummy as Natsu helped her stand up with him. "At least, I hope so."
"Geez, now I get two girls to spoil? We're gonna have to start building her room soon, I don't want to be unprepared when she comes."
"I thought you might freak out," Lucy giggled as he pulled her in for a hug. "A baby's a lot of responsibility, you know? Even I feel a little scared."
"Freak out over you having my baby? As soon as you said yes when I confessed, Luce, I knew we were gonna have a big family. There was no way I wasn't gonna let you get away without being the mother of my kids."
She sighed happily as he began to pepper her cheek with small kisses, her arms tightening around him. "Welcome home, Natsu."
"Yeah, thanks, Luce," He stole her lips in a gingered kiss, the embrace warming her in that aching way she missed. "So, you gonna tell me why it smells like you played around in here, or am I gonna have to torture you for an answer?"
