"Wait you never said what type of magic you used back than!" Gray yelled after him.
"I'll show you later. But for now, Later loser!" Natsu yelled back at Gray running out the doors. Wondering what they were talking about Master Markarov called Gray over.
Walking up to the table, "What up Pops, you need somethin'?" Gray asked sluggish from the many drinks he had.
"What was that about?" Gildarts said preferring to what the two younger males was yelling about.
Gray scratched the back of his head debating on if he should tell them, but since it's not a secret that Natsu got his memories back he didn't think too much on it. "Well, Natsu was just telling me about some of the things he remembered." He started.
"Uh huh, go on." Master Markarov insisted.
Feeling like he can't lie to the Master he continued, "He said he remembered what type of power he had, and that he might still be able to use it." He said honestly, shocking the three older men. "Also, we're leaving tonight, he said something about wanting to find an old treehouse, he and Zeref made when they were younger." He finished nonchalantly waving it off.
"Is he nuts! Ain't no way it's still there after 400 years!" Markarov exclaimed.
"That's the same thing I said. But he insisted on finding it and dragging me along with him." Gray said.
Markarov dragged his hand down his face in defeat, "Very Well, if there's nothing else, you can go on home now." He said allowing him to leave.
"Alright. Good night guys." Gray said as he turned to leave waving to the three behind him, they do the same.
After watching Gray leave the guild Gildarts and Macao got up to leave as well. "Ya know, Makarov." Gildarts said before walking away, earning him a "hmm" from the little old man. "If Natsu is able to use the power he had before he died, with the dragon slayer power he got now." He started staring Master in the eyes. "He might end up being the most powerful wizard in Fairy Tail." And with that he waved good night to the ladies that was cleaning and left the guild, along with Macao.
Meanwhile- Natsu walking Lucy home
As the two walked to Lucy's apartment, Natsu couldn't help but reflect about the past events and the memories that resurfaced. He wondered if he was really that weak for Zeref to just leave him like he did, and why did Igneel didn't tell him the truth. Igneel knew what Zeref did and the whole time he never told Natsu, in fact he was there when Zeref erased his memories. Instead of telling him the truth he pretended like it was the first time they met. Why? He could've at least tried to tell Natsu that Zeref was his brother before he died after the battle against Tartaros. Did he think Natsu wasn't able to handle the truth, or did he think Natsu was too weak as well.
Natsu don't usually linger onto past events, since it's useless to waste precious energy and time on something that already happened. But right now, the young dragon slayer wished he could just ask Igneel instead of just being left to his impulsive Imagination. He wished he could wake Zeref up and slap him around a little for putting him through all this, but he can't.
A soft cool breeze pulled him from his thoughts, making him look up to the sky as the wind ruffle through his hair, blowing cool air against his skin sobering and relaxing his stiff muscles.
For some reason he never actually realized how beautiful Magnolia look after dark, especially with the way the full moon brightens the roads and passages wonderfully. Glancing around him, he watched how the houses, trees, fields — everything was covered in dense fog and look almost mysterious in the moon light. The light even made the trees and bushes brilliantly beautiful, and the grassy ground glowed in their green glory.
The moon and stars were reflected in the river, as the water is being slightly disturbed by the wind creating little waves with each blow. The sight appeared extraordinary to him making him feel like he could just float away down the river with no remorse.
Glancing back to Lucy in awestruck as the glorious waxing gibbous moon was shining in the sky, accompanied by the twinkling stars shined brightly down onto Lucy. Causing her creamy skin glow even more, as she walked effortlessly and gracefully on the end of the riverbank. Her hips swivel from side-to-side as the wind blew through her hair making it flow behind her like a golden river. Her eyes were closed as her head pointed to the sky bathing in the moon light, with both arms stretched out to her side to keep her balanced, enjoying the air against her skin.
Lucy let out a loud but soft sigh as another gentle breeze coated their bodies, "Ahhhh, this feels nice." she thought aloud, finally watching her steps.
Natsu enjoyed being near the celestial wizard, especially when she's being careless and carefree around him. He like to believe it's because she feels safe enough around him to be this relaxed. If she falls because of her eyes being closed, he'll catch her. If she wanna scream and yell for no reason at all, he'll be ready to give anyone a fire dragon's iron fist to the face if they complain. If she gets tired of walking, he'll give her a piggyback ride all the way home, of course he'll complain about doing it at first, but he would still do it. He even enjoyed getting under her skin, doing stupid things, and saying stupid shit just to get her worked up, makes him laugh every time. Natsu even likes it when she blushes whenever he gets too close to her or give her a slight praise whenever she beats a bad guy ass.
Ever since the moment he met her, something deep inside him knew with her being around everything would be twice as better. But it wasn't until he saved her and other females from that jerk, who lied about being a member of Fairy Tail just to get her on his boat, that he made a move to get her in the guild. Even back than she was so high spirited and reeked of kindness, he couldn't just let her go without trying to help make her wish come true. He knew he loved her than, but he was a blind idiot who didn't understand what it was he was feeling.
It wasn't until he left for training after the battle against Tartaros that he felt some sort of emptiness in him. But Natsu couldn't figure out what it was until he saw her at the grand magic games a year later and everything became clear to him. It was the fact that Lucy wasn't around him that made him felt empty. It was the fact that he missed her constant yelling at him about how reckless he's being, he missed hearing her giggle at the weird things he would do. Natsu even missed how Lucy would get in her zone while writing her story, the energy she gave into her novel would radiate off her body. Making Natsu proud to call her his best friend, even though he would get on her nerves just to get her attention on him. And when he finally notices the pain she went through while he was gone, he vowed to himself to never leave her alone like he did ever again.
Natsu never believed in all that fate and destiny shit, but now with the memories he has, he's certain that they were meant to be together. It was like the universe was giving him another chance to for fill the promise he made before. And he was not gonna let her go this time, because he was madly in love with Lucy. He just needs to show her just how much. The only problem is now He just need to figure out how he should tell her all this.
How do someone confess their feelings for someone, and how should he give her the bracelet he bought her. He never been one to just sit and talk about how he's feeling, and believing action speak louder than any words he could ever say. But how should he go about it, should he just take out the bracelets, and say here this is for you. How about he just sits it down on a table somewhere she can find it and say, "oh yea that's yours." What if she asks him why, he can't just blurt out "because I love you." That would be too awkward, even for him.
Knowing she reads a lot of romance novels he can't just scream I love you at her. He felt as if he should make it more memorable than anything she ever read. He knew that he didn't have to do too much just to confess and give her a gift, but he felt as if she deserves someone to do that for her, and not just anyone. Natsu wanted it to be him, he needed to be the one to go all out for her, and he will. Just as soon as he figured out how. For now, he'll just have to wait for the right opportunity, and trust his gut instincts.
Throwing one of his arms around Lucy's shoulders, pulling her unusually close to his side. Causing her to walk beside him instead of on the river ledge. "What a day! I can't wait to lay in your bed Luce." he said, giving her a devious smile, sounding like his usual self again while tilting the top of his head towards her, provoking the mage. Even though he was lying about staying over for the night, he still wanted to mess with the celestial mage.
"There's no way I'm letting you lay in my bed smelling like that!" Lucy shouted, blushing a deep shade of pink from how close he was. "And even if you did shower, you're not taking my bed tonight, leaving me with the cold hard floor!" she pushed his arm off, so she can continue walking on the ledge nearest the river.
"Then share the bed with me." Natsu suggested this like it was the most obvious thing to do.
"In your dreams!" she outburst causing the dragon slayer to laugh out loudly uncharacteristically.
Crossing his arms behind his head as he walked, still chuckling from her reaction. "Calm down. I was only messing with ya'." He said, glancing at the mage who stopped walking with a dumbfounded face expression that he backed down so easily.
"Natsu?" Lucy called softly, catching up quickly and continued walking on the ledge of the river. "Are you alright?" she asked getting him to glance her way.
Moving his hands from behind his head to his pockets. "Yea, why you asked that?" He asked out of curiosity, not knowing he if he was acting strangely.
"It's just, you seem a little different than before," She inputted, looking down at her hands, "and you've been through a lot in one day. But you're acting as if nothing happened." Taking a deep breath. "Well, I'm just worried about you. You're not mad at me for helping the others earlier. Are you?" She finished, as she stopped walking looking him in the eyes.
Staring her in the eyes he can tell she was genuinely concerned for his feelings. "Of course not Lucy. I could never be mad at you." He horsed out honestly, giving her a large smile, as they continued walking.
"That's good." She said, knowing if there was anything really bothering him, he would tell her. At least she hoped he would.
"Be careful Ms. Lucy! You don't want to fall in!" Some passing sailor warned, but they ignored them.
Lucy looked around finally noticing Happy wasn't around, "Where's Happy?" She questioned.
"He's with Wendy and Carla, said that—" Natsu started but was interrupted when Lucy let out a small shriek as she was close to falling off the ledge and into the river. Luckily Natsu have fast reflexes and caught her by the hand. Grabbing onto her waist, he pulled her off the ledge and close to his chest as her hands came up to rest on his slightly bare chest.
Arms locked around her small waist, whisky still lingering on his breath, he huskily whispered. "You don't listen too good do ya." A sly smile crept onto his lips, and his eye glistening from the moon light.
"Your one to talk." She breath. Cheeks darkening as she got lost in his onyx eyes stirring something deep inside the celestial mage.
Slowly and tauntingly tilting his head closer almost unable to resist the urge to smash his lips onto her own, he began to wonder if he had too much to drink for once.
As Natsu moved his head towards Lucy, she sightly dragged her hands from his chest to his vest gripping onto the opening, hoping she wasn't dreaming. "Natsu?" Lucy whispered seductively to his ears, letting out a soft sigh and shivered when he hummed in response.
Noticing she wasn't pulling away gave him more courage as he lightly slid a hand from her waist up to the curve of her neck. Eyes glancing back and forward from her eyes to her lips, while caressing his thumb on her chin dangerously close to her bottom lip making her shiver from his touch.
"Hm?" He hummed with a sly smile on his face, happy to see that it seems like she wanted him to kiss her. While hovering his lips inches from hers, the bracelet suddenly crossed his mind, and he started to think this was the best moment to give it to her.
"Lucy." He breath over the top of her lips. Moving his hand gently from her face to his shoulder reaching for Happy's backpack. Pulling back from Lucy just a little while reaching back to the little green bag, "I got something-" he started to tell her about the bracelets but got distracted at the sight of his muffler wrapped lazily around her shoulders. Peeking out from underneath the scarf, sitting on top of her voluptuous breast, was the pendant that once belonged to Zeref glistening in the moonlight.
Lucy watched how Natsu froze in place staring at the items around her neck with a troublesome expression. She didn't say anything yet, just let him gather his thoughts until it seems like he wasn't gonna say anything at all.
"Natsu?" Lucy called out softly. "What's wrong?" She asked out of concern, wondering what's going through his mind.
Natsu hand retreated from the little green bag and to the ends of the scarf around Lucy neck. "It's nothing." He lied fingering the ends of the scarf. Looking back into her eyes, feeling like he shouldn't have to hide his feelings from her, especially about something he knows she knows bothering him.
Taking a deep breath and glancing back at the part of the muffler in his hand, "Just seeing this scarf..." he hesitated, "This scarf… It wasn't from Igneel." It seems as if it was hard for him to tell her, but he continued. "It was from Zeref." He confessed, still eyeing the scarf sorrowfully
Lucy eyes widen in surprise, "Seriously?! No way." she gasped.
"Zeref gave it to me, way before we meant Igneel, and the day he planned to erase my memories I lost it." Natsu said nonchalantly, as he finally let go of Lucy waist, taking a few steps back to give her some space as she processes the information. Natsu look over to his right and saw a bench nearby.
"I can't believe it," Still wide-eyed Lucy took another deep breath grabbing the end of the scarf, "so Zeref gave this to you?" She repeated softly, looking down at the scarf. "That's crazy." She replied. Lucy looked back up to Natsu who was walking to the bench, and she trailed behind him.
When Lucy made her way next to him, he continued talking. "I'm betting Zeref found it afterwards, and he wanted me to keep it," he sat back and tossed his right arm behind Lucy resting it on the back of the bench, and the other in his lap.
"So, he told Igneel to give it to me. Which he did but he made it seem like it was from him. Damn oversized lizard." He finished kind of harshly.
"Are you mad at Igneel for lying?" Lucy asked. The way he talked Lucy believed he was upset. She stared at his face studying his expressions trying to understand how he was feeling.
Natsu looked down at his lap thinking about his answer, then he looked up at Lucy, "No, he did what he had to, at least he gave me the scarf back." He answered honestly, "And I can't really be mad at the man who not only raised me but gave me the power to protect my friends and family." He finished with a small smile lighting his left hand on fire, then putting it out.
Lucy smiled glancing from his left hand and back to his face. "I understand and what about Zeref? I'm sure you hate him for erasing your memories and putting us all through a lot." She questioned.
Natsu took a deep breath, "Honestly, I don't know if I'm mad at him anymore. I was before but right now… I wouldn't say I hate him. But one thing I do know is that he had the right idea to erase my memories." He answered honestly, making Lucy eyebrows rise.
"Huh?" She was confused. "Why you say that?"
Staring her in the eyes, "Because I wouldn't have been able to give him the closure he wanted in the end." He admitted, turning his head to the river.
She looked down to her hands in her lap playing with the end of her skirt. "You mean, you wouldn't have let him die." Lucy said nervously, looking back to his face.
Nodding his head in agreement, "Mmhmm" he admitted softly. "I probably wouldn't have been able to fight him at full strength, if I knew who he truly was to me…." He paused, "but I know one thing, I wouldn't have let him destroy everything we got here." He spoke.
A minute passed without neither one speaking, then Natsu started laughing a little to himself, "I remember," he started turning his body to face Lucy a little more. "We would wreak havoc in our village all the time with the other kids right behind us." He laughed making Lucy giggle, "Even the princess at the time was running wild with us." He told her laughing louder.
Lucy gasped, "The Princess too?! That means you lived near Mercurius at the time." She questioned, as his laughing died down.
"Not really, we actually lived closer to Magnolia, but it was deeper in the forest, they just probably moved location." he corrected.
"Ohhh okay."
"Anyways," He continued with his story, "You probably won't believe me when I say Zeref was more of a hot head than I was when we were kids, he'd kick anyone ass who would make me upset before I could do it myself." He laughed, causing Lucy to join in.
Laughing harder, he turned his body some more ready to tell her more. "There was this one time when I was a kid, like around baby Auska age, maybe younger. I got into some trouble with the man who gave me this scar." opening his jacket he showed her his left side. And just barely over his pants line was a thin scar stretching from the top of his hip to the waist. Lucy had to fight the urge to touch the scar since it was dangerously close to his pelvis.
"While I was on the ground holding my side, Zeref appeared out of nowhere stepping in between us. He was barely tall enough to reach the man chin," he laughed. "But there he was, not backing down... he got in the man face and yelled 'no one kicks Natsu's ass but me!' and knocked him out."
Jumping to his feet demonstrating the punch Zeref did. "Like BAM straight on his ass" he shouted, laughing still standing up facing Lucy. He watched Lucy giggle at the story.
"Did he really do that?!" Lucy managed to say in between giggles.
"Yes Luce!" Natsu said excitedly. "Zeref than turn to me and said, 'as long as I'm around, you will never have to fight alone'," Natsu tried mimicking Zeref voice while looking at Lucy. "Then he helped me to my feet," Grabbing Lucy hand making her stand up, "and said, 'and we'll be unstoppable!' and the kids around us cheered" He laughed along with Lucy.
Lucy was enjoying the story Natsu was telling her, she liked how his face lit up with every detail he told. Seeing him so cheerfully made her feel warm inside, and she was happy to know that he was enjoying having his memories back.
"I didn't even know they was there until I heard them cheer behind us," Natsu's finished letting go of her arms.
They both sat back down on the bench, "For the most part, it sounds like you had a great childhood." Lucy said smiling from ear to ear. "What happened next" Lucy asked eager to know more.
He smiled at Lucy eagerness, glad to see that she was enjoying his story. "Uhhh." He started with his arm resting behind Lucy again and the other scratching his head, "Than we went home side by side. Mom was pissed when we told her what happened, she wanted to go out there and whoop the guy ass too, until Zeref calmed her down so she can patch me up." He decided to skip the part about the Princess kissing him on the cheek, after he gave her a flower. He'll tell her that another day.
"She could use healing magic?" Lucy asked.
Natsu shook his head, "Nah, we didn't have people in the village who used healing magic like Wendy and Porlyusica could... That's why I still got the scar," patting his side gesturing to the scar he showed her. "But it's cool, it reminds me that Zeref wasn't really a bad guy." He ended with a genuine smile.
"Oh, I see." Lucy said softly.
The smile on Natsu's face gradually disappear and he had a slight serious tone in his voice when he spoke. "He was just angry and upset that he couldn't live life like the rest of us. So, Zeref wanted to die so he didn't have to be so destructive to everyone, but he still ended up causing a lot of problems for the world."
Waving off that topic, "You know all that shit though." Natsu said putting his hand on the armrest.
"Yea" Lucy agreed. Without saying another word, she leaned her head back onto the bench. Even though she wanted to hear more of Natsu's crazy stories, she was still enjoying the newly welcoming silence, with a smile on her face. Natsu glanced at Lucy and smiled, just enjoying her company, and copied her action, by leaning his head back as well.
Feeling the temperature drop a bit outside, Natsu know with the little amount of clothes Lucy wears she might be starting to get cold. So, he heated up his body enough to keep her warm and scooted closer to her, until their legs were touching. Natsu smile widened when she let out a soft sigh of enjoyment, and they just stayed like this for a moment.
Picking her head back up Lucy looks to Natsu. "Natsu?" She said breaking the silence, "Who's Mae?" She asked. Once the name left her lips she felt Natsu stiffen up as his breath hitched in his throat but he didn't respond, he just sat there gazing up at the stars.
Knowing he heard her, she tried again anyway. "Natsu?" She called out softly.
Lifting his head, "Sorry." He said, but still ignored her question. "But I got something to take care of tonight, so I'll be taking off in a couple hours." He didn't look at her when he told her he was leaving, knowing that she hates it whenever he leaves town now.
Lowering her head, looking at her hands while playing with the ends of the scarf, "Oh, I see." She whispered, "You're going by yourself? What about Happy!" she questioned, sitting up straight while shooting her head at the dragon slayer surprised that the feline isn't going with him. "You never leave anywhere without him!"
"Happy will be okay, besides he's with Wendy tonight so I'm betting once he figures out I'm gone, he'll either stay with her or with you." He said in his usual cheerful voice.
He inhaled deeply, "And I won't be alone, Gray's gonna tag along." He finished.
"You and Gray alone on a trip!" Lucy all but shouted, "That's a disaster Waiting to happen." Sweat dripping down her forehead.
Natsu chuckle turning his head to her, "Don't say it like that. I don't think we'll destroy everything" he pointed out, "at least not this time." He side eyed the river, he tried to whisper the last part, but Lucy still heard him.
She leaned back again, "Yea sure. But you didn't pack should we go to your place first then?" Lucy asked. For some reason, the thought of Natsu leaving her alone got her feeling on edge, and all she wanted was to spend more time with him until he leaves.
"It's fine, once I walk you home, I'll go back to my place and pack." hearing her whimper at what he said he tilted his head towards her again, with a cheesy smile on his face. "But don't worry I'll come back to hang with you until it's time for me to leave." he said teasing her, making her blush a deep shade of red.
Without saying anything Lucy turned her head the opposite direction of Natsu face, crossing her arms over her breast and huffed aloud, getting Natsu to chuckle at her childish behavior.
Standing up to his feet. "Come on, yo place right down the street." He said and began to take a few steps towards the direction of her apartment.
"Yea, okay" she said jumping to her feet quickly, she was right back on the side of him. The rest of the walk was semi-awkward as the two mages stole glances of each other the rest of the way to the apartment.
Meanwhile – At Gray's apartment
"Juvia!" Gray Called out as he shut the door to his apartment behind him. Kicking off his shoes as he looked around the small living room for a blue-nette. "I'm back!" he called again when she didn't respond the first time, reaching up to take off his jacket.
Juvia walked out of the bedroom door face lit up in a huge smile. "Darling!" she exclaims and jumped into his arms giving him a long and very tight hug before letting him continue removing his jacket. "I missed you!" she cried, making gray smile deepen.
"But you just saw me 30 mins ago." Gray said, chuckling. He didn't know when he first met her, that he would like it when she acts clingy. But now he started to love how her face would brighten up every time she talks to him, or whenever he walks into a room. It's a comforting feeling to know that's one thing about her that will never change.
"Besides" he said cupping Juvia's face in his large hands and pulled her in for a kiss. "I'm here now." He ended, letting go of her face to walk to the bedroom with her behind him wanting another one.
Grey sighed as he sat on the bed, "I'm tired." he said taking off his shirt.
Juvia followed Gray into the room, but instead of sitting next to him on the bed she leaned against the wall in front of him. "Did you talk to Natsu?" Juvia asked toying with the ends of her hair.
He took another deep breath, "Yea. I talked to him." he responded, not caring that somehow his pants disappeared leaving him in only his black briefs and his silver cross necklace.
"That's great. Right! You got to apologize for what happened earlier." Juvia said in a cheerful manner, as she stood upright.
"Mhmm, now he got some stupid idea to go find a tree house he and his friends made. AND" he said being a little dramatic. "Somehow, he managed to get me to say yes to going with him!" He sighed loudly. "Fuckin' hot head." he stated softly, making Juvia giggle. He looked up at her through his lashes, with an annoyed expression.
"What?" She asked between giggles, "I Think that's a great idea, and plus I have a feeling you want to go with him." she teased. When he shot his head her direction, she giggled again and lifted her hands up in defeat, "As emotional support, of course." she tried, and he let it slide. Juvia got tired of standing in the same spot and walked over to the dresser reaching for her ocean blue hairbrush.
Watching her walked by, "Yea well, seemed like he wanted me to go with him too, so it's too late to back out now." Gray admitted. As she brushed her hair, Gray finally seen the pajama set she had on for the night.
She had on a flowing light blue tank top that showed off the mid-section of her body. The matching-colored shorts that hugged her hips just right but loose on her butt, had ice cubes on them. Because of the thin straps in the shirt, he can tell she wasn't wearing a bra. Her hair was down as usual in thick waves just past her shoulders and bang framing her face perfectly.
"When are you two leaving?" She asked.
Gray almost didn't hear her speak as he looked her up and down. "He said meet him outskirts of town around 2am" he sheepishly responded with a slight blush on his cheeks.
"Tonight!" She shouted turning back around boobs bouncing as she moved. "But darling, what about Juvia," she wined, and in a few steps, she was right in front of him again, with her hands pointing at herself. "you're just gonna leave me all alone." she cried leaning towards him a little, not caring that he zoned in on her boobs at the moment.
Glancing back at her face, "But you just said it was a good idea!" He shouted back. Now that she's turned around, he can see that her shirt had bold letters across the chest that says 'ice' in all caps.
"I know. But that was before I knew you was gonna take off," she glanced over to the clock than back to him with sad eyes. "In 3 hours." She said standing up straight but playing with her fingertips.
"Sorry Juvia," he said softly, getting up from his spot he stood in front of Juvia grabbing her hands. "But let me make it up to you." He leaned his head towards her and gave her a quick kiss on the mouth.
When she sighed softly at the feeling of having her beloved lips on hers again, he cupped her face in his hands like before and pulled her in for a kiss. This time he thrust his tongue in her mouth deepening the kiss as he pushed her back pressing Juvia back against the wall. Gray removed his mouth from hers making her whimper at the lack of touch. He then quickly brushed his lips down Juvia's neck and was rewarded by hearing her take a quick breath.
"Gray" she sighed, loving the way he sucked on her neck.
As his lips touched her neck Juvia slid a hand up to the back of Gray's head holding him there, keeping his lips in contact with her skin, moaning his name. He then kissed up Juvia's neck to her ear, down the other side of her neck, as his hands slid down the curve of her back, until he could cup her ass, pulling her in tighter.
Just this little bit of contact with her had Gray hard as a rock. Lifting one of her legs he then began pressing himself against Juvia so she could feel his length. Juvia gave a light moan and rolled her hips against his as he kissed down to the top of her breast. Throwing her head back moaning louder that the feeling of his lengthy covered cock rubbing against her.
After giving the top of each breast a good suck, he then moved up to nibble her neck, then up to her ear and whispered, "Is this good enough for you, darling." In a deep husky voice, making her shiver.
Juvia grabbed him tighter and said, "not yet, I need a little more." Causing Gray to smile knowing she would say that.
"Alright." And with that he smashed his lips back on to hers, as his hands slid down to her hips and around to the front of her shorts. Slowly he pushed down Juvia's shorts over her hips, taking her panties with them, somehow, she managed to slide one leg out.
Lips still connected, Juvia reached down into Grays briefs and wrapped her small hand around his cock, earning a groaned to escape his lips as she stroked him slowly. As she worked her hands on His cock, Gray glide his fingers between her legs and dipped them between her pussy lips, finally feeling her wetness, making them both groan and moan.
Licking the shell of her ear he whispered, "You still need some more?" in a teasing voice. All she could do was nod, and moan as his fingers rubbed her wetness, sliding over her clit and then back inside.
Kissing her one more time before grabbing onto Juvia ass to lift and hold her up between him and the wall. She quickly wrapped her legs around his hips and held onto his shoulders, using the wall for support. Looking into Juvia's eyes Gray slowly lowered her down on to his cock. Making her whimper as he penetrates her inch by inch until he was completely sheathed in her warmth.
As Gray started thrusting deep inside of Juvia dripping folds, she moaned out his name begging him to go harder, while her hands grip the back of his hair. Their foreheads touching as he moved, hands still cupping her full round ass and holding her up against the wall. Gray leaned forward for a kiss again, their bodies began to move as one, as they found a rhythm.
Moments later
Somehow the two mages ended up on the bed cuddling. Gray was laying on his back with one arm around Juvia's waist, as she draped half her body over his tangling their legs together. His other hand was behind his head, while Juvia's were around his torso holding him tightly. It's as if she were holding him hostage, so he wouldn't leave too quickly.
"Juvia?" Gray pleaded, "I still need to pack a bag." Instead of moving Juvia snuggled closer into his side.
"Just give me another minute Darling." Juvia wined.
Gray glanced at the clock on the wall and seen that it was half passed 1 am. "Okay Juvia, I gotta get dressed." He said getting up easier than he expected and walked over to the dresser. Juvia sat up watching the raven-haired mage walk past her with sad eyes.
"But darling!" Juvia whimpered "don't leave me here all by myself." She pleaded gaining Gray to turn and look at her sad eyes.
Gray didn't expect to have such a soft spot for the girl in front of him, but he liked it and he did not care about her clinginess. A cold sweat dropping down the side of head as he couldn't fight the beautiful mage, especially while she is completely naked.
Lowering his head in defeat and producing an idea to bring her along. "Fine" he caved into the guiltiness he felt, causing the mage face to brighten up at his word and smile big.
"Put some clothes on and pack a bag too." He sighed out. "I have an idea." He finished watching her jump to her feet without hesitation and rushing over to the dresser as well.
Back at Lucy's apartment
It only took Natsu 20 minutes to run home to packed a few clothes and he was already crawling through Lucy window. "I'm back!" He yelled, throwing his bag on the bed searching for the golden hair mage who was in the bath.
"Luce!" He tried again, looking around the room he noticed her clothes in the bed, which meant she was taking a bath, and didn't expect him to return so quick.
Lucy was just getting used to the boiling water, as she let her aching muscles relax and unravel from today stress. Wondering if her best friend is actually alright; he had been through a lot today and she wish there were something she could do for him to help ease his mind. Suddenly her cheeks burned red, thinking of one way she could help. Splash the scalding water on her face to get rid of the erotic thoughts in her head. "Idiot!" Lucy hissed. Trying to figure out why she was thinking about Natsu that way again.
Walking to the bathroom door he knocked lightly, knowing if he burst into the bathroom, he would get a Lucy kick straight to the face. "You in there?" He knew the answer, he can smell her strawberry shampoo going to work in there.
Natsu knocking pulled her from her thoughts. "Yea! I will be out in just a min!" she responded. Thanks to his dragon ears she didn't have to yell as loud as he was.
Natsu knew Lucy will be in there longer than a minute. "Yea sure." He said softly backing away from the door, until he heard her say something else.
"Are you gonna take a bath?" She asked still relaxing in the tub.
Sweat dropping down the side of his head. "Um… shit, Lucy I forgot sleeping clothes." he didn't want to lie, but Natsu just really did not want to take a bath. He didn't think he smelled that bad at all.
"Typical, don't worry about that," Lucy suggested knowing he was lying, but even if he wasn't she was still prepared for moments like this.
Natsu like sleeping over her house without bringing pajamas so he won't have to take a bath, but she fixed that problem not too long ago. Lucy bought a few pajamas for him to sleep in, giving him no excuse not to shower. She even bought him some briefs underwear, and not just because they had little dragons on them. Natsu haven't been staying over as much so she never had a reason to tell him about the clothes but nows the time.
"When I'm finish just get in the tub and put the clothes you have on in the dirty basket!" She instructed.
Natsu sighed loudly. "Damnit" he cursed under his breath.
"What was that." Lucy warned. A deadly aura radiated from the bathroom door sending chills down his spine.
"Nothing!" he shrieks running to the kitchen to find something to snack on while he waits for her to finish up.
Almost 20 mins later
Walking out the bathroom, "Natsu! You can use the bathroom now!" Lucy called out looking for Natsu, who was currently raiding her fridge.
"Natsu?" She tried again hearing what's sounds like fast crunching noise coming from the kitchen. After a second of wondering where he was and why he was so quiet, an injurious aura surrounded the mage as the realization of what he could be doing hit her.
"You better not be eating all of my food, Natsu!" she threatened. Then she Heard rushed movements and the fridge closing, as he muffled "No!" rushing past her to the bathroom, trying to hide the bag of beef jerky he just stole.
Laughing at his antics, gave Lucy an idea on how she can help the young dragon slayer ease his mind. She quickly put on her clothes and grab the spare pajamas for Natsu out of the bottom drawer of her dresser.
Just as Lucy finished getting the spare clothes for him, she heard the tub water turn on and decided to take the clothes to him before he got in.
"Natsu?" Without knocking she opened the door. "Here, I got you some…" The words got caught in her throat when she got a view of a naked dragon slayer standing in front of the tub. "Clothes" she managed to finish her sentence. It's a good thing his back was turned to her, or he would have seen her gawking at the sight of him.
Natsu stood up straight, putting his toned scarred back on display. If it were not for the dense fog from the scorching water filling up the tub, she would have had a clear view of the bottom half of his body.
"Geez Luce." Turning just his head to the side in her direction. "If you wanted to get in with me you could've just said that." He said snapping her from her gaze. Natsu daringly, started to turn his body all the way, while giving her a devious grin.
"You wish." She shrieks. Before he could finish turning around Lucy hurriedly turned around closing the bathroom door behind her. Putting her back against the door recovering from Natsu surprise attack.
"I'll just sit the clothes out here on the dresser." She said Taking a few deep breaths, causing Natsu to chuckle lightly. Shaking the image of a naked Natsu out of her head, Lucy quickly got to work, on the mini project she got in mind for the dragon slayer.
"Okay." he managed to say in between laughs, stepping into the tub.
Natsu won't admit this to Lucy, but he enjoyed how the boiling water kissed his skin and what makes it better is that he can used his fire to make the water hot again without having to refill the tub. Natsu relaxed his body as his Head rested against the tub, arms half hanging off the sides of the tub, one leg bent and the other resting on the side of the tub. He could not help but think how today a bit much for him, from finally getting his memories back to almost kissing Lucy. Maybe it was the whisky or the fact he finally remembers his life as a child that gave him a new perspective on his dearest friend, but he really wanted to kiss her, to hold her, to have her scream his name.
To him it was as if the universe had its own way of pushing him and Lucy together, and he was not going to ignore the signs anymore. Yes, he thought Lisanna was gonna be the one for him, but even after she returned from Edolas he didn't feel the connection he had with Lucy, towards Lisanna. But when he looks back on his life, Natsu realize that the reason that he was not completely happy is that he had not met Lucy yet.
Not like he was not happy. Natsu is one of the luckiest ones, he had everything a guy like him could ever wanted or needed. He's in the greatest guild in all of Fiore, and he has the most amazing friends anyone would die for. To top it all off, he even have a talking blue cat.
But now with his memories he feels like an internal little voice is guiding him in the right direction. And that direction is Lucy. It almost seems as if she was with him his whole life, since before he died and after he came back, Lucy was there, and each time he was ignorant to the feeling he had. That was all going to change now, there was no fighting it anymore, he cannot keep pretending like he never known her before, because he has. He just can't shake the feeling that if he does, something unsettling could happen.
Natsu was starting to get a headache from thinking so much. To keep his mind from racing he tossed a towel on his face to push the thoughts a side he relaxed his mind so much that drifted off to sleep.
