NaLu One-shot #2.5
Lucy stood in front of Susie's Swimwear, arms crossed and sandaled foot tapping the ground impatiently, waiting for her tardy Dragon Slayer boyfriend to arrive. So far, he was twenty minutes late and counting.
That idiot! He better not have forgotten, she fumed. She'd just reminded him this morning! He'd promised to replace her old, hibiscus flower bikini after accidentally breaking the strap wrestling with her underwater, exposing her breast in the hotel pool on the way back from their recent job. And Natsu always kept his promises.
But she also knew he was easily distracted at times, like an overeager child. She considered checking to see if he was still hanging around Fairy Tail with Happy and their friends. After eating lunch together at the guildhall, Natsu'd agreed to meet Lucy at the shop this afternoon. She'd run home to change into a simpler outfit—one with skimpy, thong underwear to better assess the bikini bottoms—since she knew she'd have to try on several suits to find the perfect one! She'd settled for low-riding jean shorts paired with a cornflower blue tank top. It was cropped to bare her belly button, and low cut enough to show her bust to great advantage. Natsu always enjoyed ogling her, so she thought she'd reward him with a little eye candy for taking her shopping. It was the least she could do, to keep him from whining about being booored!
Which only heightened her annoyance at that particular moment. Didn't he know she went to a lot of bother to look cute for him? She'd even tied her long hair up in an adorable side ponytail! She should've just dragged him home with her when she left the guild.
Although...no guarantee we'd get to the store any time soon if I'd done that, she thought, blushing. Natsu's appetite was voracious, and being alone in a bedroom with naked Lucy meant they probably wouldn't be leaving her apartment for at least an hour. Maybe two! Which is why she'd left him at the guildhall in the first place.
Mulling over various methods to exact revenge on her wayward boyfriend, Lucy decided to head back to Fairy Tail. After turning away from the storefront, she heard sandaled feet hurriedly slapping up the sidewalk.
"Hey, Luce! Sorry I'm late!" the errant Dragon Slayer called out, open vest flapping in the breeze at his harried pace. He huffed to a halt, bending over with hands on knees to catch his breath, drawing the blonde's eyes from gorgeously sculpted abs up to his face. Clearly, he'd been in a hurry.
And in a fight, too, looks like. She noted the purplish bruise painting the flesh under his left eye.
"What happened to you?" she asked, brushing her fingertips lightly over his cheekbone. "Fighting with Gray again?" The blonde sighed resignedly. "Will you guys ever grow up?"
"It's not my fault!" Natsu swore. "Popsicle had it coming! He started it!"
"Suuure he did," she drawled. "And I'm sure you were a totally innocent bystander." She rolled her eyes. "Looks like he got you good. Do I even want to know what he looks like? One of these days, you guys are really gonna hurt each other."
Natsu looked at her strangely. "You mean this?" he indicated his bruised cheek. "Aww, this ain't from Gray. It's from Erza." He snorted. "At least that frigid ice-dick has one just like it. Erza said she wanted us to match."
Lucy laughed out loud at that. No one could keep Natsu and Gray in line like Fairy Tail's newest, redheaded master! She nudged her boyfriend. "You know...even though he's an ice mage, you probably shouldn't call Gray frigid. Especially in front of Juvia. You'll make her cry."
Natsu made a face. "Ugh. Never speak those words to me again, Lucy. I don't want those images in my head."
She giggled, then tugged his arm enthusiastically. "All right, fair enough. Now that you're finally here, let's get me a new swimsuit!" She turned and dragged him behind her into the store, smiling at his muttered "yeah, yeah."
The shop was long and narrow, and contained racks of swimsuits for both men and women. Aside from the swimsuits for both sexes displayed in the storefront window, the men's swim trunks were arranged near the front of the store, while the women's suits were closer to the dressing rooms in back. There was a small seating area with two comfortably plush, mauve chairs and a three-way, floor-to-ceiling mirror placed in the center of the back wall, just outside the private fitting rooms that flanked it on both sides.
A bored, young woman about Lucy's age manned the cash register along the right-hand wall, near the front of the shop. She wore a navy blue tee shirt and sported a silver nose ring in her left nostril. Her brown hair was long and curled loosely over thin shoulders as she looked up from her magazine.
"Hello. Welcome to Susie's. Can I help you find something?" She popped her pink bubble gum casually, awaiting a response.
"I'm looking for a new bikini," Lucy told her. "I'll just take a look around, then probably try on a few things if that's all right."
"Sure. The bikinis are mostly along the wall over there and towards the back," the clerk gestured vaguely. "The dressing rooms are all open if you need one. No more than six items at a time, please. Lemme know if you need any help." Duty fulfilled for the time being, she went back to reading her magazine.
Lucy pulled Natsu by the hand toward the two puffy chairs outside the dressing rooms. "Why don't you sit here while I pick out some swimsuits to try on?"
"Hey! Since I'm buyin' don't I get ta pick?" he objected cheekily. "I wonder if they got any with flames on 'em?" he teased his girlfriend, watching her eyebrows rise up into her hairline. He sat abruptly as she used both hands to push him down onto the chair by his shoulders.
"No way! Besides...if I let you pick, I'll probably end up wearing bits of dental floss strung together that are barely decent!"
He waggled his eyebrows at her. "You say that like it's a bad thing."
She smirked and rolled her eyes, turning away to browse the racks and shelves. "Just behave, and I'll put on a little fashion show for you. You can help me choose the best one then."
Natsu "hmphed" as he settled back in the chair to wait. "Not like your old suit covered all that much either, ya know," he murmured under his breath.
"I can't hear youuuu," his girlfriend pretended in a sing-song voice. She held a two-piece pink and yellow bikini up to her body to assess the likely fit. "Just be patient. I won't be too long."
"Sure, sure," he rolled his eyes, knowing what that meant. Having gone shopping with Lucy many times before, the fire mage knew that was a damned lie, if not a deliberate one. Happy knew, too, which is why the traitorous cat had bailed on the shopping expedition in favor of hanging out with Wendy, Carla, and Romeo at the guildhall this afternoon, despite Natsu's urging him to come along to keep the bored Dragon Slayer company.
Maybe he'd just take a nap while he waited. The chair was pretty comfy…

"Natsu..." Slim fingers patted his cheek. "Wake up."
"Huh?" Groggily, the fire mage straightened in his chair. Had he fallen asleep?
"You were snoring," Lucy told him fondly. She rose and took a step back from him. "Now that you're awake…what do you think?" She waved a hand at her body, indicating the ebony swimsuit she wore.
It was an elegant one-piece that looked almost like a bikini as it had a slinky strip of narrow fabric linking the top of the suit to the low-waisted bottoms. The attachment flowed down the right side of her ribs, along the curve of her waist and fit like a second skin. However, Natsu noticed the thin straps that tied behind her neck, reaching down to the center of her cleavage to hold up the bustline, appeared to be under some strain. Her voluptuous mounds threatened to spill out over the top half of the suit at any moment. He doubted she could swim in it without having an "oopsie." Which could be entertaining if they were alone, he mused with an inward chuckle—but not if there were other people around. Especially other guys.
He frowned and rubbed misty green eyes. "Looks good on ya, but I dunno how...uh...durable that top'll be in the water. Seems pretty overloaded, if ya catch my drift." He cracked a fanged grin.
She glanced at her image in the trifold mirror, flushing slightly as she grasped what he meant. It was particularly obvious from the side views. "Yeah...okay. This one's a definite 'no.' But I've got three more I want to show you. I already nixed a bunch while you were asleep."
She hurried back into the fitting room to change, missing the look of sheer relief on her boyfriend's face. Maybe this wouldn't take as long as he'd thought!
A few minutes later, she emerged wearing a sunshine yellow bikini that was similar in style to her old suit. The color looked good on her, and he purred in contentment at the view as she turned around, checking all the angles in the mirror.
"That one's nice," he told her.
She tilted her head as she examined her reflection. "Yeah…" her voice trailed off. "But don't you think it's a bit plain? Be honest."
Natsu cringed inwardly. He hated when Lucy asked for his honest opinion on clothing. If he weren't careful, she'd only end up annoyed with him, and he knew he wasn't the most tactful guy, even on the best of days.
"Uh… Oh, I dunno. I think the color goes good with your eyes," he floundered.
She stared in the mirror. "Hmm...maybe…" She didn't sound too convinced. "Let me try the next one!" She flounced back into the dressing room, breasts jiggling as she moved.
He sighed with appreciation tinged with relief as he watched her bounce away. Dodged that bullet! Phew!
When she emerged this time, wearing a turquoise bikini with a haltered top, Natsu straightened up in his chair. Now that's more like it, he thought happily. The color really stood out next to her fair skin and blonde hair, and the halter top made her boobs look awesome! After she finished checking herself out in the three-way mirror, he motioned her over to him.
"C'mere." He gestured for her to bend down to him.
She leaned over slowly, a teasing glint in her chocolate eyes. It gave him a really great view of her cleavage, which he took time to appreciate. He also noticed something else.
"This one's real nice, Luce," he murmured, raising a hand to her hip. "I love the color on you. And these strings…" He tugged lightly on the laces holding the left side of her bikini bottoms in place, threatening to unravel the bow. With a devilish grin, he leaned forward to murmur in her ear, "I'm in favor of clothing I can get offa ya without using my hands."
Lucy flushed, the sound of his low chuckle making things deep down in her belly tingle with excitement. Her teasing was definitely working on him—she could tell by his darkening eye color. Also by the fact that he was stroking her hip sensually with the laces. He always touched her more when he was really turned on. Unfortunately, she was getting turned on, too! And that just wouldn't do—at least, not until she'd had her revenge!
She swatted his fingers away from the bikini bottom ties and straightened. "Oh, shoot! I really liked this one! But no way am I wearing this around jokers like you and Happy!" She frowned, looking around the shop as if just realizing something. "Where is Happy anyway? Didn't he come with you?"
"Nah. Said clothes shopping was boring an' he didn't wanna come." Probably a good idea, the fire mage thought. Watching Lucy bounce around in sexy bikinis is gettin' me all hot and bothered. He knew the Exceed would only tease him for it. He shifted on the chair, pants feeling uncomfortably tight. He hoped Lucy hadn't noticed.
Unfortunately—or fortunately, from the blonde's point-of-view—she had.
Giving her boyfriend a wide, deceptively innocent smile, she exclaimed, "I've got one more suit to show you! Let me go change!" She spun on her heel and sauntered back to the dressing room, making sure to put a little extra sway in her hips as she went. His sharp, indrawn breath was music to her ears!
She really enjoyed teasing Natsu, especially knowing he'd have to wait to get her home to do anything about it. He deserved it for making her wait around earlier, of course, but really, flirting with him was just so much fun! She couldn't resist. They'd go to her apartment afterwards, since it was nearby. After teasing him in public for the better part of an hour, she wanted to get him alone as quickly as possible. With Natsu, there was always the risk of dragging things out for too long. Pushed too far, there was no telling what the chaotic fire mage would do! She felt a pulse between her legs just thinking about how he'd probably rip off her clothes the second they got in the door!
Hurriedly stripping off the turquoise swimsuit, she held up the last bikini, slipping the tiny bottoms over shapely legs until they settled low on her hips. Bending her arms behind herself to tie the flower-patterned, pink bikini top in place, Lucy stared at her reflection in the wall-to-wall mirror. The bright pink swimsuit was dotted with cute, yellow, pansy-like flowers, and she had to admit Natsu was right: they complemented her big, brown eyes very nicely. Giving a small tug here and there to make sure she had everything adjusted correctly and all of her "assets" were in place, she smiled smugly.
I think we have a winner!
The criss-cross straps in front of the bikini top's low cut cleavage made her boobs look fantastic! She'd caught Natsu staring when she'd leaned over him wearing the halter bikini; this one promised to catch his attention right away! Plus, the low-slung bottoms sported two thin straps at each hip, with a peep-through view of her creamy skin. A knot with thin tassels decorated the sides, rather than easily undoable laces. She bet Natsu would be hard-pressed to keep his hands off of her the next time they went swimming.
Still, she mused, maybe I should buy the other one, too. For a time when we're alone at the beach or pool. She really did like the turquoise color against her skin. She could always save it for a surprise. Natsu could never get enough of those kinds of surprises, for sure!
She opened the dressing room door, hearing a commotion up front as a group of giggling, teenaged girls entered the shop. The young woman at the front desk greeted them, grudgingly leaving her counter and magazine to offer requested assistance. Seeing this, Lucy quickened her steps. She wanted to get Natsu's reaction before a bunch of people crowded the dressing room area. The widening of his eyes as she approached made her smile.
He gave a low whistle. "Wow, Luce. That's the best one yet!"
"You think so? I really like it, too. Pink's my favorite color," she reminded him with a teasing wink, glancing at his hair as he ran a hand through the messy strands. She thought he flushed slightly at her words, although he was so tanned, it was hard to tell. She bounced lightly on the tips of her toes, dragging his gaze straight to her chest. Advancing slowly, hips swaying, she rested her right hand with its pink Fairy Tail symbol, on the arm of his chair as she leaned towards him.
"And look…" she stuck a finger inside the strap on her left hip, tugging it, along with her thong, away from skin smooth as porcelain, "no ties to come undone!"
She conveniently ignored the fact that the top tied in the back with laces. Honestly, she liked it too much to care, and she could tell by her boyfriend's dark, dilated eyes that he did, too. The bulge in his pants made it even more obvious.
He swallowed. "Y-Yeah, that's great, Luce." He was starting to feel a bit warm. "So whaddya say we buy it an' get outta here?" Natsu really wanted to leave before his boner got any worse. He was already aching with desire, and the scent coming from between his girlfriend's legs sure wasn't helping matters. He could tell she was having fun teasing him—and he'd be damned if he didn't love every minute of it!—but his patience was definitely fading fast. He couldn't wait to get her alone!
She offered him a knowing smile. "Sounds good to me." Leaning closer, she breathed into his ear, pink lips grazing the shell, "I just can't wait to get this suit...wet." She straightened at his choked inhalation, gazing down at his flushed face with a pleased expression. "I'll go change. Be back in a minute!" She turned and sashayed back to the dressing room, feeling his eyes on her as she went. After entering the private stall, Lucy turned around to shut the door behind herself. A strong hand suddenly forced it open.
"Wha—?" the shocked blonde squawked, voice cut off as Natsu shushed her, slapping his other hand over her mouth.
"Shhhh! Ya wanna get us caught?" he warned, voice low as he pushed the door closed and locked it.
Her eyes widened as he advanced, pressing her up against the mirrored back wall of the dressing room. The wall to the right was also covered by a large mirror, while the opposing wall had a small bench in front of it, with two small hooks hung at eye level. Lucy's purse, clothing, and the suits she wasn't interested in purchasing lay on the bench.
Furiously, she shook her head from side-to-side, trying to dislodge her boyfriend's hand. He grinned wickedly as he slowly removed it from her lips.
"No way, Natsu! We can't! Someone'll hear us!" she hissed urgently, trying to keep her voice to a whisper.
Ignoring her desperate attempts to reason with him, he put his arms around her, hands slipping down inside the tiny bikini bottoms and thong panties to clutch her ass. She inhaled sharply and he grazed her lips with his own, sucking the flustered blonde's bottom lip into his mouth.
"Ya best be quiet then," he told her in between kisses, squeezing and massaging her deliciously plump buttocks. Invading her mouth with his tongue, he stole Lucy's breath away, silencing all protests. Pulling the blonde roughly into his body, he ground himself against her, so she could feel just how much she affected him.
He broke off his kiss to murmur against her neck, "'S your own fault for teasin' me an' gettin' me all fired up." He nipped the flesh above her pulse point, relishing in the breathy moan as her head fell back, exposing the slender line of her throat. He sucked and nibbled his way down her neck, past a delicate collarbone, over the voluptuous curve of breast, to the valley of her cleavage. Her arms rose to his shoulders, clasping them as if she couldn't decide whether she wanted to push him away or pull him closer.
"Natsu…" she whined as he mouthed each of her nipples through the form-fitting fabric, making them hard, then drifted lower, dragging his hands over curvy hips and down her legs, taking the bikini bottoms and thong along with them as he knelt in front of his love. The mirror was cold against her shoulder blades, but she felt so, so warm.
Lucy knew she'd taken a calculated risk, teasing him like she had, but she never imagined he'd be so bold as to try to make love to her right here in the shop's dressing room! She'd completely underestimated his daring! She inhaled a breath to speak, but couldn't decide if she wanted to dissuade him or simply yield to rising passion. The moisture gathering between her legs made the blonde squirm in anticipation.
"Hush," he told her huskily as he took her right hand in his own. Kissing the palm, he pressed it upwards towards his girlfriend's mouth. "Keep this hand here," he directed in a whisper, before tossing her right leg over his shoulder, opening her up to his gaze. He inhaled deeply, sighing with satisfaction.
Mumbling through her fingers, Lucy gasped out, "W-We shouldn't—mwaahhh!"
Her voice cut off abruptly as he speared her core with his tongue, probing and tasting her with vigor. His right hand reached up to tweak a pert nipple through the swimsuit before dipping down to swirl small circles over her clit with his thumb. His left shoulder bore more and more of the blonde's weight as her standing leg threatened to give way. Gripping her thigh in his free hand to help steady her, he grunted as slender fingers tensed in his hair, tugging lightly. Desperately, she smothered the moans trying to force themselves from her throat as he diligently explored her pussy with lips and tongue.
Breathing in the sweet, vanilla-and-honey essence that was Lucy, Natsu's excitement mounted. As always, her scent was arousing and intoxicating, and although he wanted to take his time, paying her back in kind for the earlier teasing, he found himself licking her more fervently, tongue replacing the thumb at her clit as he slid first one, then a second finger inside her body. She shifted against him, hips rocking urgently, as the hand over her mouth pressed down more tightly, closed eyelashes dark against flushed cheeks. He glanced at the wall to his right, nudging her.
"Look at us," he whispered, nodding to the mirror, before swirling and sucking on her swollen nub more intensely. He fucked her with his hand, rubbing the slick walls more forcefully as she tightened down on his fingers.
Her body jerked, as if it couldn't decide whether to pull away or press into his relentless attack, and her head rolled to the side, absorbing their reflection with lust-filled, brown eyes. The sight of Natsu's face and pink hair buried between her legs undid her. She tensed, arching like a bow, fingers clutching his soft locks tight as her eyelids squeezed shut. The hand over her lips was white with effort as tendons in her neck strained. She came hard, bucking frantically into his mouth, limbs trembling, his hand on her clasped thigh the only thing holding her upright.
As her pulsing quakes subsided, Natsu pulled back from her, slowly letting the blonde's leg drop from his shoulder. Sucking her nectar from his fingers, he wiped his mouth on a forearm, gazing up at her beautifully dazed expression. She could barely stand, sagging against the mirror and gasping for breath from the power of her orgasm. He couldn't resist the look on her face.
Rising abruptly, the Dragon Slayer pulled her into his arms for a devouring kiss. Just as he was plundering her mouth with his tongue, the handle to their dressing room jiggled.
Lucy jerked, tearing herself away from his lips. "O-Occupied!" she stammered, voice a high-pitched squeak.
"Oh, sorry," the offending voice apologized, then moved off toward a dressing room further down the row. Several footsteps followed her, each of the teenaged shoppers from earlier choosing a fitting room to try on their swimsuits. They chatted amongst one another while they changed, amidst the sounds of hangers clattering against the walls and clothing being discarded.
Lucy hung in Natsu's grasp, trying to pay no mind to the feel of his very obvious erection pressing against her. Heart pounding in her chest, she mouthed, "We should stop!" but he studiously ignored her in favor of placing both hands on her hips and spinning her around to face the mirror. She heard the rustle of clothing as white pants fell to his knees, then his hands were fondling her breasts, teasing and tugging on the erect nipples. Nudging her legs apart, he pressed forward slightly until the head of his cock breached her entrance.
A knock at the dressing room door startled them both.
"Excuse me. Did you need some help? You've been in there awhile. And I think your friend left." The voice of the clerk was matter-of-fact.
Panicked, Lucy blurted out the first thing that popped into her head. "Uh…no! I-I'm just trying the suits on one more time before deciding. My boyfriend was hungreeeeey" she cut off a squeal as Natsu bit her throat, fangs dragging lightly over the sensitive skin, "b-but he'll be back." She tried to elbow him in the ribs, but didn't connect well since he'd draped himself over her like a blanket. Slowly, he sank his cock into her body, an inch at a time, watching her face in the mirror as she desperately tried to maintain composure.
"Okay then. I'll be up front if you need me," the woman replied, before retreating to the relative calm of the check-out register.
"Thank youuu—" she barely managed to choke off a moan, as Natsu fully seated himself within her.
Listening carefully, he held still, waiting until he was certain the clerk was out of earshot. The teenage girls' giggling as they tried on swimsuits to show each other, running back and forth to the large three-way mirror drowned out any small sounds he and Lucy made. Would make.
Grasping her wrists in both hands, he whispered in her ear, tugging the lobe with his teeth. "This hand stays here," he breathed, raising her left hand to her mouth. "But this hand..." he pressed the other hand down slowly, skimming it over her belly, before taking her index finger alongside his own and stroking it over the moist nub between her legs, "goes here…"
Looking at both of their hands working her slick, feminine flesh in the mirror, he sucked in a harsh breath. "That is so hot!" he whispered, palming her breast with his free hand. His hips moved slowly but steadily, thrusting in and out of her body over and over again. He watched his girlfriend gradually lose composure as she leaned forward, pussy enticing him ever more deeply inside as she succumbed to pleasure.
Lucy knew she should stop him. They were having sex in a dressing room with people all around them, for cryin' out loud! They could be discovered at any moment! It was madness!
But for some reason, her finger began to move on its own against her swollen clit as he held her in place, rocking firmly against the curve of her ass. And it felt way too good! Meeting her lover's knowing gaze in the mirror, Lucy couldn't deny that she didn't really want to stop. Flushed and needy, she closed her eyes against the naked desire she saw in his face. It's too much, she thought, hand over her mouth the only thing keeping her from letting out embarrassingly lustful moans.
Lips at the back of Lucy's neck teased apart the ties that held up her top, pulling on the laces with determined teeth. Catching her bountiful breasts as they spilled into his hands, Natsu let the fabric tumble down to hang at her waist. Glorious and full, the supple flesh filled his palms, and he squeezed and fondled her, occasionally plucking the pink tips until she began to rise onto her toes, slamming her hips back against him more forcefully, urging him to pick up the pace. Which he did, watching her face in the mirror as it pinked with lust. She braced her left forearm against the glass, hand over her mouth straining to keep her cries of ecstasy silenced.
How Natsu wished he could hear them! He glanced to the side, appreciating the view as he caressed her tits and railed her from behind. Pressing his lips to her ear, he whispered roughly, "Ya love this, don'tcha, Luce?" He tugged on her lobe with his teeth, then mouthed her throat, nipping it lightly with his fangs. "Look at ya, takin' my cock so deep..." he breathed, plunging into her steadily.
He watched with heavy-lidded eyes as she let her gaze drift to the side. Her pussy tightened around his shaft as she stared at their reflection and he bit back a groan. He knew he couldn't take much more.
To drive her into a frenzy, he pinched the blonde's nipples, pulling and tweaking them as she rammed her hips against him more wildly, inner muscles clenching tight. Feverishly, the hand between her legs moved faster and faster. When her spine began to curve away from him, he knew she was about to come. He plowed her with abandon, squeezing her tits as his mouth latched onto the flesh between her neck and shoulder. As she spasmed and pulsed around him, her clenching muscles forced Natsu to his own heavenly ending. He sucked hard on her soft skin, muffling passionate groans. He caught an answering whimper that failed to be fully suppressed by the hand at her mouth, but was pretty sure no one else could've heard it.
Slowing the movement of his hips to a leisurely glide, he hugged his love tightly, releasing her throat only to drop sweet kisses along her shoulder. He reached down to clasp the hand she'd used to pleasure herself, bringing it to his lips. Kissing the pink Fairy Tail symbol on the back of it, he met chocolate eyes in the mirror as he drew the tip of her index finger into his mouth. Sucking on it briefly, he released her and smiled. "I love ya so goddamn much!" he breathed. "I swear ya were made just for me…"
She shivered at the intensity of his dark eyes, feeling her insides pulse around him. Stroking his face with her palm, she smiled, mouthing "I love you" in the mirror, then turned to plant a kiss on his cheek. Slowly, she pulled away from him, bending to grab her purse from the bench. She knew she had some tissues in there somewhere…

A short time later, Lucy stood at the check-out counter, hurriedly trying to pay for the turquoise swimsuit before Natsu wandered back in through the front door of the shop. He'd snuck out the side door that led to the alley after she'd gathered her things to go distract the clerk at the front counter. He'd waited for a moment when he could hear that the other girls were all changing clothes again. Luck and timing had been on their side thankfully, which Lucy really appreciated.
The brown-haired woman broke in on her musings. "So you wanna pay for this one now, but your boyfriend is getting you the other one, right?" She held up the turquoise bikini.
"Yes, please. It's a surprise. Here's the jewel; I'll just stick it in my purse, no need for a bag," she said quickly.
"Okay," the clerk shrugged, accepting the jewel and handing over the swimsuit. As Lucy hurriedly stuffed it into her purse, Natsu came banging in through the front door.
"Oi, Lucy! I'm back!" he exclaimed loudly. "You all done here?"
She smirked at his overacting. "Yes. Now please pay the lady for this suit okay?"
"Sure thing." He grinned and approached the counter.
The woman behind it smiled. "Did you get something good to eat?" she innocently asked the fire mage.
Lucy's eyes widened as Natsu shot a teasing glance in her direction. Grinning, he replied, "Boy, did I ever! It was delicious!" He licked his lips suggestively. "I can't wait to eat it again sometime!" His green eyes glinted with humor as his girlfriend flushed bright red.
"Th-That's nice," she stuttered, shoving the pink and yellow bikini in his direction. "Now, please pay for this so we can go home!"
"Sure, Luce," he answered easily, fishing around in his wallet for the requested jewel. "Here ya go." He handed the payment to the clerk, who bagged up his purchase and handed it to Lucy.
She stared at the blonde's neck oddly as she did so. "You know...you've got a mark—right here," she indicated the right side of her own neck.
Lucy's hand flew to the spot where her throat and shoulder met. She laughed awkwardly, covering the hickey. "Uh… That's just...an allergy! Nothing to worry about, thanks!"
"If you say so," the woman shrugged. "Have a nice day." Duty accomplished, she left to check on the girls in the dressing room.
Lucy snatched her boyfriend by the hand and got the hell out of there as fast as she could! She kept walking at a brisk pace, embarrassment propelling her onwards, until Natsu tugged on her hand, forcing her to slow down.
"Well, that was a fun afternoon!" he grinned, squeezing her fingers lightly.
The celestial mage flushed. "I can't believe we did that! Right there, in the shop!" She shook her head in dismayed wonderment.
"Aww, c'mon, Luce, don't be like that." He pulled her closer so he could murmur in her ear. "You liked it. Admit it."
"That's not the point!" she screeched, flustered. Mostly because he was right.
"Now, now," he laughed, "don't be mad. We didn't get caught, so what's the big deal?" He gazed at her pouting lips. "Gotta say, though… I missed hearin' ya scream my name with that beautiful mouth of yours." He slipped an arm around her waist, fingers lightly caressing the exposed flesh between her jean shorts and crop top. He smiled as she sucked in a breath.
"Didn't we already have enough fun for one afternoon?" she asked him archly. "Besides…I need a shower."
His low chuckle sent a shiver down her spine. "No such thing as too much fun when you're with me, Luce. Ya oughta know that by now." He tensed in anticipation as he saw her apartment on Strawberry Street come into view. "As a matter of fact," he swooped her up in his arms and began to run down the street with a mad grin, "the shower tiles make your voice echo so sweetly in my ears!"
She squealed, clutching his neck as tightly as she dared as he leapt from the street to her second floor window. Quickly, they disappeared inside, an exasperated Lucy shrieking and giggling, "Natsu…! Put me down right this instan—aaah!"
Her voice cut off abruptly, replaced by the sounds of clothing being torn and tossed aside, then moments later, running water. Not too long after that, sweet moans, and impassioned cries that might've been a name if only they'd been more coherent, echoed inside the tiny apartment's bathroom.
Not that anyone passing by the open window on the street below would've known or cared if they'd been able to hear it.
Hello, all! I'd been kicking around this little one-shot in my head for quite a long time-ever since writing NaLu One-shot #2 tbh. For some reason, the title field wouldn't let me call it #2.5 or even 2 1/2 so I had to improvise! Thanks to Loka Muse for urging me to actually write it down! The pink bikini Lucy chooses is the one pictured in the Hero's crossover volume by Mashima. I thought she looked really great in it, and Natsu did, too! Reminds me of my own bikini-wearing days, which are sadly a couple of decades behind me. lol
It's basically PWP, but I wanted to post it before the end of the year as a sort of happy holidays to everyone! I'm enjoying the current Labyrinth battle royale arc in 100YQ, and am also following Edens Zero closely. (It'll be interesting to see how Mashima handles Shiki x Rebecca after the time skip, for sure!) Please drop me a review after reading. I always love to chat with NaLu or Shicca fans! (But please make sure you are logged in as the site does not allow me to reply to guest reviews.) Happy Holidays, and hope to see you again at the completion of the Moon Dragon Arc!
