Summary: Natsu asks Happy about kissing…this may not be the best idea he ever had.

Pairings: Natsu/Lucy and implied one-sided Happy/Charle,

YouTube Prompt: a Natsu/Lucy video to the Mama Mia duet cover of Abba's Lay All Your Love on Me. Because some of the lines definitely fit them…especially for a jealous, possessive, Natsu XD.

It was a warm summer's evening, and Happy was enjoying a feast of fish. He and Natsu had just spent a gloriously sunny day fishing, just the two of them, and he was reaping the rewards of what he felt was a hard day's work.

Then Natsu ruined it all by asking a question. "Ne, Happy, do you even know how to kiss a girl?" he asked from his hammock.

Happy choked on his fish, and suffocated a little when a fish bone got lodged into his throat. Not that Natsu noticed or cared, that big fat meanie! "W-what?" he managed to get out in between coughs.

"Do. You. Know. How. To. Kiss. A. girl?" Natsu repeated slowly. "Jeeze what are you, deaf?"

"Why would you ask such a thing?!" Happy shrieked. Cured from his choking episode, he was now filled with righteous anger.

"Well…I sort of need advice…." Natsu scratched at his head, and Happy couldn't help but notice his cheeks were now matching his hair, "those bastards at the Guild will just laugh at me," he muttered darkly.

True enough. Happy had to give Natsu that one. Macao and Wakaba would laugh, talk about their own conquests, and likely traumatise both Happy and Natsu. So yes, avoiding that. Gray and Gajeel would definitely laugh as well. Happy wasn't sure if Jet, Droy, Max, Nab, Warren and Reedus knew anything helpful. Romeo definitely didn't. Elfman would just go on about how unmanly they were. Laxus, Freed, Bickslow, and Lily didn't care, and then Gildarts had buggered off to God knows where, the less they knew about the Master's romantic life, the happier they would be, and asking Loke would mean asking Lucy, and if they asked they would get Lucy Kicked.

So, of course, that just left Happy….well bugger.

"Well I've never kissed a real girl myself," Happy admitted, "but perhaps one day Charle will accept my fish and give me one…"he trailed off dreamily as he pictured Charle accepting his fish, and then kissing him with her pretty, delicate, pink nose, and then their wedding which will be beautiful, and then the many, many, children they would have…

"Happy can we get back to me, please?"

"Oh right…" Happy shook his head as he tried to snap out of his fantasies. "Well like I said I've never kissed a real girl before but I have kissed Lucy, Erza, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Levy."

Natsu looked confused. Not like that was anything new, Natsu always looked confused. "Happy those are real girls," he said.

"Do they have fur and a tail?"

"…No?"

"Well then, they're not real girls," Happy concluded, because in his book real girls were cats, not humans. "But when I kissed the others I just rubbed my nose against their cheek."

"That's kissing?" Natsu scrunched his nose up in…well Happy didn't know what, but it looked ridiculous.

"For friends," Happy explained patiently, "Kissing romantically is rubbing your nose against someone else's nose."

"Oh I see!" Natsu brightened up. He looked like it was Christmas Day, sneaking into Lucy's bed, finding Igneel, and his birthday all rolled up in one. "So I just rub my nose against a girl's nose then…."

Something popped into Happy's mind and he suddenly found himself insanely curious. "Natsu?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Erm…."

And that's when Happy realised exactly why Natsu had been asking about kissing. There was a girl. Natsu liked someone. Ha, ha! He could have fun with this.

"You liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike someone!"

"Shut up, Happy!"

Natsu waited for Lucy to calm down before he asked her. After Happy told him how to kiss, which had been embarrassing to ask because Natsu was certain he was the only guy who doesn't know how to, he had quickly run off to visit Lucy in her apartment, and of course when he jumped through the window, she shrieked at him and almost kicked him into the canal. Soon enough though, when Lucy stopped acting like she was about to have a heart attack (melodramatic weirdo), she calmed down enough to offer him a cup of tea.

He waited until she had a few sips and fully relaxed. The moment her eyes fluttered to a shut as she sighed blissfully (and her shoulders lost all the tension they gained when he first arrived), he spoke up, "Hey, Luce, can I try something?"

"Hmmm?" Lucy mumbled, not really paying attention. "Sure."

Natsu would have rushed in and just do it, like he usually would in any situation, but he had already been kicked once tonight (and he was certain it was going to leave a bruise this time) and he really didn't want to get kicked again. He tried to go for one kick a day with Lucy, otherwise he would definitely have a permanent foot mark on his chest, or face, or...well anywhere Lucy can hit him with. "Promise not to kick me?" he asked.

Lucy's eyes opened and she turned a rather suspicious look at him. Like she suspected him to do something horrible, he doesn't know why it's not like he's done anything really mean to her just a couple pranks once in….oh, that's why she's looking at him suspiciously! "Why?" she asked sounding just as suspicious as she looked.

"I just really don't want to be kicked again," Natsu smiled sheepishly.

"Natsu," Lucy growled warningly. "If you want to try my underwear on again, you can get the hell out of my apartment now."

"No, no, it's not that" Natsu said hastily, "and I never tried your underwear on!" he yelled out his defence.

"You wore my bra on your head!" Lucy shrieked.

Crap, he was supposed to make her agree not to kick him, not rile her up into punching him or something! And he knows she will, she had already balled her hand up into a fist!

"Happy said they were ear muffs!" he shouted back, panicked, "Look I promise it isn't that, can I please try something and not be kicked?"

"Fine!" Lucy sniffed angrily. "But if this is a prank, I will get my revenge."

Ha! Natsu would like to see that happen, Lucy was rubbish at getting her own back. She was so obvious with her sneaking around, giggling, and over the top smug looks. Also she was so clueless, last time she got her 'revenge' on him, she just cleaned his house. That was doing him a favour (because seriously, he was running out of underwear).

But that's really not the point. With Lucy's permission obtained, and a promise to not kick him, Natsu was now free to kiss her. He leaned in, cupped her face with his hands, and then ever so gently, so you know, he wouldn't hurt her or scare her, he rubbed his nose against hers.

Lucy blinked and looked like she wanted to laugh. Not quite the effect he wanted but at least she wasn't going to kick him. He pulled away and dropped his hands back onto his lap. "Was that all right?" he asked anxiously.

"Yeah," Lucy bit her lip, "it was sweet."

Was sweet a good thing? Hell if he knew! He had more important things to worry about.

"Can I do that again? Like anytime?"

"Sure," Lucy smiled, "Why not?"

He took advantage of having her permission to do it again immediately. And then again, and again, until Lucy burst into giggles, and they ended up play fighting till bed time.

Rubbing their noses together became their thing.

Lucy couldn't explain why, and she knew it was really weird, but she couldn't help but encourage Natsu in it. It was adorable, and she couldn't help but enjoy having his face, lit up with happiness and excitement, that close to her own. It made her stomach flutter with butterflies, her heart skip a beat, and her cheeks heat up to match Natsu's hair, and for some reason she was becoming addicted to this feeling.

They rubbed noses together to celebrate a victory, or when they completed a mission without destroying something, they rubbed noses together in the morning to say hello, they did at night to say goodbye, and sometimes they just did it because Natsu felt like it.

Lucy didn't know why but it made her feel inexplicably loved.

Wendy and Erza thought it was adorable, Gray and Charle, however, found it disgusting, and Happy, for reasons Lucy could never work out why, would just bemoan something about his virgin eyes.

But yeah, running their noses together totally became their thing.

It was a normal day at the guild which meant there had already been five brawls, Cana was almost drunk, Juvia had done something stalker-ish, and the Master is in his office weeping over expenses.

It was during the rare quietness between brawls that Mira had approached Natsu and Lucy. "How was babysitting Asuka, yesterday?" she asked as she served them their drinks. "I heard you had a bit of an adventure."

"Yeah, we got attacked by some bandits," Lucy said, "but Natsu and Asuka sorted them out."

"It was horrible…." Happy shuddered. "So much spit and touching….the horror, the horror."

"Erm…is Happy, ok?" Mira asked as she eyed the trembling blue cat in concern. "The bandits didn't do anything to him, did they?"

"No," Lucy sighed as she petted Happy, "he hasn't recovered from the fact that Natsu kissed him yesterday."

"What?!" Mira squeaked. At the same time Natsu yelled the same word out loud. "I haven't kissed Happy!" he added furiously as Mira looked at him questioningly.

"Erm, yes you did," Lucy looked at him as if he was an idiot, "I was there."

"You held Happy up and smashed his lips against mine," Natsu said angrily, "but that's not kissing, Luce."

"Yes it is."

"No it isn't," Natsu was now getting sick of being treated like he was a moron. He knew what kissing was and he knew he hadn't kissed Happy, goddamnit! "I know it isn't because we've been kissing for months, and we never did that."

"EEK!"

Everyone in a five foot radius of them winced as Mira squealed in delight at this revelation. Lucy, however, looked horrified. In fact for a moment Natsu thought he saw her soul fly out of her body, but then she turned a bright red, and shot him a furious look.

"What the hell?" she hissed. "What do you mean we've been kissing for months?! I think I would have noticed you sticking your tongue down my throat!"

Natsu wrinkled his nose up in disgust. "Why would I stick my tongue down your throat?" he asked shuddering at the thought. "That's not how you kiss! You kiss with your noses, everyone knows that!"

"Natsu that's not how kissing works!" Lucy and Mira both shouted at him. Lucy's blush was now able to rival Erza's hair for what was redder while Mira just looked delighted for some reason.

"IT ISN'T?!"

"Of course not, you dumbass!"

"But Happy says that's how he kisses!" Natsu shouted.

At this point Lucy smacked her hand against her face. "I give up," she muttered to the table.

"Yes that's because he is a cat," Mira explained patiently, "They kiss differently."

Cats and humans have different ways to kiss?! He hadn't been kissing Lucy all this time?! So that meant she was still available to other guys, right? Goddamnit! Why was he so fucking stupid to have listened to Happy about kissing? He should have sucked up his pride and asked Gray, he would have pissed himself laughing at Natsu, but at least then Natsu wouldn't have wasted five months not kissing Lucy while making a fool of himself.

"Well then," Natsu swallowed, "how do humans kiss?"

"With their mouths!"

It was then when Natsu suddenly grabbed hold of Lucy, hand entwined into her hair, and pulled her in for a short, rough, kiss on the lips. "There!" he said triumphantly. "Now we've kissed! You can't date other guys now."

Lucy gawked at him while Mira seemed to have fainted out of sheer joy. Happy, however, just flew off in search of therapy because, while no one else might care, he was still feeling incredibly violated by yesterday's events.
