First-timers

The night was cold outside, a cool breeze passing through the open windows and making the curtains rustle softly, but the room they were in was humid and stuffy with the scent of lavender candles and human sweat lingering in the air.

The first kiss. A shiver ran down Natsu's spine and he grunted against her mouth as their tongues danced against one another.

Right underneath him there was Lucy's languid figure, looking at him with such wishful – yet innocent – eyes that his jaw clenched and the muscles of his shoulders tightened with anticipation, and he struggled to keep himself in check, otherwise everything would be ruined by his impatience.

The first touch. He felt his skin crawl, heating up to a point his magic could never have reached, and he was certain the blood in his veins was boiling.

They were both covered in sweat, but the celestial spirit mage didn't seem to care either as she was too absorbed in the task of exploring his body with small, soft hands, feeling the tight muscles of his abdomen, scraping the skin of his back gently. His throat was suddenly too dry to produce any sounds and he wasn't sure for how long he could keep going so painfully slowly.

The first thrust. The Salamander inhaled sharply, grasping the pillow so tightly his knuckles turned white as he tried really hard not to spontaneously combust.

And then it hit him. The most intense sensation he had ever felt: his heart skipping a beat while fireworks went wild on his insides until his body burst into small fragments. His limbs trembled with the sudden loss of strength and he collapsed above Lucy's panting form.

Relief. He closed his eyes and sighed deeply, burying his head in the crook of her neck.

"Natsu, the sheets are on fire!" He raised his head instantly, catching a glimpse of the small flame on the pillowcase that was threatening to spread quickly, and rushed to extinguish it. The romantic mood was obviously gone after the incident, but neither of them could shake the feeling of utter happiness as they laid beside each other with a small smile crossing their lips.

They were perfect in their own way.
