A/N: Since y'all loved this one shot so much I decided to write a second part XD
Warnings: There is some extremely light smut in this part. Nothing anywhere near explicit but I'm just warning you anyway :)
Natsu managed to pull Lucy away from the commotion in the Guild Hall, and they both went into the library.
"Natsu." Lucy moaned then gasped as the dragon slayer claimed her mouth with his.
Their kisses were sloppy and a bit stiff since neither one of them had ever kissed someone before but Lucy didn't care, they'd get better at it, they just needed some time.
He pressed her back against a bookshelf and Lucy smiled as he held her waist and deepened their kiss. Then he began to unfasten his jacket and then he pulled it off, making Lucy's eyes go wide before he came back in to kiss her again. His hands began to wander her body more, and it made her lower belly tingle with excitement as his warm fingers trailed her skin.
She gasped when she felt the buttons on her blue backless top come undone and she looked into Natsu's eyes. They had darkened with lust.
"Natsu..." Lucy breathed softly.
Natsu smirked and lifted her left leg over his hip and held her close.
"Let's fuck Lucy." Natsu says but then Lucy places her hands on his chest to stop him.
"Wait." She says. "I don't want to do this yet."
Natsu lets her leg down and takes a step back to give her space.
"Okay, but why? You just said you wanted to have a baby with me. Did I do something wrong?" Natsu asks.
"Well...not really. I mean we both know each other well enough and the physical attraction is there but I guess I just don't want to move so fast you know? Like, I was hoping you'd at least take me out for dinner first." Lucy says and twirls a lock of her hair.
"Take you out for dinner, but it's just after lunch?" Natsu asks. "Are you hungry right now or something?"
"No." Lucy says patiently then sighs, realizing she's gonna have to spell it out for him.
"I meant like a date." She says and blushes.
"A date?" Natsu asks and blushes.
"Yeah. I want to spend a nice romantic evening with you before I lose my virginity to you." Lucy says.
"Romantic huh?" Natsu asks and scratches his chin. "Oh I've got it!"
He holds both of Lucy's arms and smiles brightly.
"You can watch me beat up Laxus!" Natsu suggests.
Lucy shook her head but couldn't help but smile from how adorably clueless Natsu was.
"I appreciate the suggestion but that's not exactly romantic Natsu." Lucy explains to him. "Maybe I should come up with the-"
"No." Natsu says and holds her shoulders.
"You're going to have our baby. You're already gonna be working hard. You shouldn't have to do this too. So I'm gonna give you the most romantic evening of your life! I owe it to you, for everything you have done and will do for us." Natsu says and gently rests his hand over her lower abdomen.
"Oh Natsu." Lucy says before kissing him.
"You're gonna love it I swear!" Natsu says before putting his jacket back on and running excitedly out of the library.
"You're gonna love it I swear?" Levy repeats as Lucy hands her a cup of tea.
They were currently in Levy's room at Fairy Hills. She had begun to move out of it but she had so many books it would take awhile until everything was moved into Gajeel's place.
"Is that really what he said to you?" Levy asks.
Lucy giggled and Levy took that as a yes.
"Oh no, something tells me this date that Natsu's planning for you isn't going to go well Lu-chan." Levy says and sips her tea.
Both of the girls laughed then stopped when they heard something fall down outside of the door. They turned and saw Juvia in the hallway through the open door standing over a rope ladder on the floor.
"Juvia?" Lucy asks and the water mage turns to her. "What do you need that rope ladder for?"
"None of your business love rival!" Juvia shouted back at her and quickly gathered up the rope in her arms.
"For the last time Juvia I am not your love rival! I literally have a date with Natsu tonight!" Lucy exclaims while Levy laughs and holds her hand over her baby bump.
Juvia's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Really?" She exclaims.
Before Lucy could say anything else Juvia ran into Levy's room and hugged Lucy so tight she couldn't breath and Juvia squealed in excitement.
"Oh this is wonderful!" Juvia shouts. "Now that Juvia's love rival loves another man, Juvia doesn't need to worry about her stealing Gray-sama!"
Suddenly they heard some thumping upstairs. And then voices followed.
"Erza am I allowed to be here?" Jellal asks.
The three girls gasped as they recognized his voice.
"Relax, I'm the matron of the house. No one's going to object to you being here. Now get your clothes off." Erza says.
The three of them shrieked briefly before covering their mouths and blushing, hoping Erza didn't hear them.
As they heard the couple moving around upstairs followed by moans and kissing noises, Juvia gripped her rope ladder tighter and Lucy and Levy held hands. All three of them were staring up at the ceiling trying to trace Erza and Jellal's movements on the floor above them.
"Erza, I have to confess I'm not really too sure what I'm doing here." Jellal says.
"That's alright. I've read enough of Levy's books to know where to go from here." Erza says.
"That's it, I've gotta get out of here before I'm scarred for life!" Lucy says and runs out of Levy's room.
"Oh my, Levy just what kinds of books do you have?" Juvia asks.
"Mostly linguistics ones but I do have a few that are kind of racy that Erza likes to borrow..." Levy says with a blush and twiddles her thumbs.
"Do you think maybe Juvia could borrow one too?" Juvia asks shyly.
"I'm guessing this sudden interest is connected with that little stunt that you and Gray pulled in the guild hall earlier today and the rope ladder you've got there that may or may not be used to help your ice prince charming climb up your window?" Levy asks with a smirk.
"Maybe." Juvia says and wrings the knots of the ladder in her hands, her face red as a tomato.
Gajeel stood in the middle of the park and looked around. As he saw the citizens of Magnolia quietly milling about, minding their own business, he grew increasingly frustrated.
"Where the hell is Salamander and bunny girl!" He shouted, scaring some people. "Natsu said they'd be here half an hour ago."
"Perhaps they changed their minds." Panther Lily suggests. "I'm sure Lucy won't be too pleased when she finds out Natsu's idea for a date is coming here to watch him fight you."
"Yeah, she probably figured out what that idiot had in mind and is screaming at him right now, gihee." Gajeel snickers.
Then they both looked confused when they saw Happy fly towards them.
"Hey have you guys seen Natsu anywhere?" Happy asks them.
"I wonder what Salamder's up to in there?" Gajeel asks as he walks up the steps to Lucy's apartment.
"Who knows if he's even in there." Lily says.
"No he's definitely here. I can smell him." Gajeel says as he approaches the door.
He's about to open the door when Lily suddenly flies in front of him.
"Wait a minute Gajeel, what if Lucy's in there with him?" Lily asks.
"Yeah, so what? I'm just dropping by to ask them what gives." Gajeel says flatly.
"I know but we all saw them kissing in the guild hall earlier today. And if the two of them are alone together in the apartment then what if that means..."
"Means what?" Gajeel asks when Lily fails to finish his sentence.
"Well, since they're alone together, they might be doing something a bit more...intimate than kissing." Lily suggests and blushes.
Gajeel's face turns bright red and he sweat drops and shivers at the thought of catching sight of Natsu and Lucy at an inappropriate moment.
"Oooo if they are then we definitely have to bust them!" Happy says teasingly.
He readies himself to push open the door and Lily and Gajeel gasp.
"Wait Happy no!" They shout but it's too late.
Happy pushes the door open and it slams into the wall.
"Hello lovebirds-AAAAHHH!" Happy screams at the sight before him.
Gajeel and Lily hug themselves and scream while their eyes tear up when they see the position Natsu's in.
There he was, sitting on Lucy's couch, surrounded by stacks of books, and reading one.
"N-Natsu." Happy calls to him softly.
Natsu furrows his brows and looks up from the book then smiles softly when he sees Happy.
"Oh, hey Happy, what are you doing here?" Natsu asks.
"We came to find you because you were supposed to fight Gajeel in the park half an hour ago." Lily says.
"Yeah and I know you ain't a coward when comes to that stuff so I figured somethin' was up." Gajeel adds.
"Oh right! I just remembered! I'm sorry Gajeel, I was so into this book that I must have lost track of time." Natsu says and laughs.
While Natsu was laughing, his three friends were struck with fear from the sentence Natsu just said.
"Hey what the-" Natsu starts then grunts as Gajeel and Panther Lily in his battle mode grab him off the couch and pin him down on the ground.
"What the hell are you guys doing? You made me lose my place!" Natsu grunts underneath them.
"Who are you and what have you done with the real Natsu!" Happy shouts and punches Natsu in the face.
"I'm right here you idiot!" Natsu barks at Happy.
"No you're not! There's no way the real Salamander would ever skip a fight for somethin' as dumb as a reading a book! He hates readin' and avoids it all costs!" Gajeel argues.
"Yeah I hate reading books but I'll do it for Lucy!" Natsu shouts before shoving Gajeel and Panther Lily off of him with flames coming off of his arms.
"What?" Happy asks.
"You're reading books for Lucy?" Lily asks after going back to his normal form.
"So is the punishment she came up with after you tried to take her on an awful date to watch me beat you down gihee?" Gajeel laughs.
"No, and I think we both know that I would have won that fight." Natsu boasts.
"Wanna bet?" Gajeel asks and raises his fist.
Natsu gets into a fighting stance but then Lily comes in-between them to diffuse the argument.
"So if Lucy isn't making you read these books, then why are you reading them?" Lily asks Natsu.
"Because I was about to go ask her to come to the park with me to watch me fight Gajeel but then Gramps caught up with me when I was looking for her at the Guildhall..."
"Oh Natsu, It's a miracle to see that Lucy hasn't killed you for being so inconsiderate and stupid by asking her to bear your children in front of the entire guild!" Makarov said.
"Yeah she's cool with it! I'm actually about to go ask her out on a date now!" Natsu said.
"Oh how wonderful." Makarov said and teared up and sniffled. "I'm so happy that the two of you are in love and are taking your relationship further."
"Yeah. I was gonna ask her to watch me beat up Laxus, but she said that she didn't think that was a good idea and honestly she's right." Natsu laughed.
"Whoa Natsu, I never thought I'd see you mature this much!" Wakaba says and laughs from the table he was at with Macao.
"Yeah, fighting Laxus was a dumb idea for a date. I'm mature enough now to admit there's a chance he could beat me. So that's why I'm gonna take her to watch me fight Gajeel instead! She's gonna really think I'm hot stuff once she sees me beat him up!" Natsu cheered.
Then Natsu got crushed by Makarov's giant hand.
"You complete imbecile, taking a girl to watch you beat someone up is not a date!" Makarov screamed at him.
"Well it's the only idea I've got! If watching me beat someone up isn't romantic then what the hell am I supposed to do!" Natsu barked back at him.
"Oh you hopeless child." Carla said and flew over to him. "Let me give you some advice since I doubt you'll get anything much better from these drunk morons." She said and glared at all the men in the guild who were watching.
"You know Lucy well by this point. She's your best friend. Think about something that she likes to do and then offer to do that with her. It's simple and there's no way of you being able to ruin it like you inevitably will if you're doing something she enjoys." Carla explained.
Suddenly a light bulb went off over Natsu's head.
"And so then I came here to read some of Lucy's favorite books." Natsu says and gestures to the books. "I've heard her talk about how the stuff in them is 'so romantic' so I figured if I do something like the characters in her books do then I'll know what kind of romance she's lookin' for!"
He held up a book with a princess and a prince on the cover and gave his friends a goofy grin.
"Wow Natsu, that's actually a really good idea." Lily compliments.
"Thanks! I'm glad you guys can finally see I've got more than just flames and food on my brain." Natsu says proudly. "Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go take this cookbook, put a fire in the stove and make some food."
"Yep, that's the real Natsu alright." Happy says and smiles at him as he walks into the kitchen.
Lucy nervously rubbed her arm as she walked up the path towards Natsu and Happy's house, thinking about the message that Happy had given her earlier today from Natsu.
"He wants me to come meet him at your house tonight?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah." Happy replied. "He said you don't have to wear anything fancy. Just whatever's comfortable. Oh and no need to worry about eating either, he's got that covered too!"
Lucy smiled to herself as she thought about how much effort Natsu seemed to be making with this date. He must have something nice in mind since he said he was going to cook for her. Although, given his history when it comes to cooking meals, she'll probably end up with a pile of ashes on her plate instead of something edible. But then she froze and gasped when Natsu and Happy's house came into sight, and it was nothing like what she had been expecting.
The trees were decorated with lights, giving the space a romantic glow, and on her right there was a picnic blanket and a basket of food. But in front of her, stood Natsu, wearing his normal clothes, and a bouquet of flowers in his hand that he held out to her.
"Hey there Luce." He says and blushes. "What do you think?"
"Oh Natsu..." She says softly and blushes.
"G-Gray-sama!" Juvia shouts as pure bliss overtook her and Gray grunted above her.
"Fuck Juvia you're so good!" Gray groans then shouts a moan as he finishes.
His chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath, one hand still gripping the headboard as he came down from his high. Then he rolled off of Juvia and laid beside her in her bed.
"So much for being quiet." Gray says hoarsely.
Juvia giggled and turned on her side to snuggle up against him.
"Juvia isn't allowed to have boys in her room since this is a girl's dormitory for the guild. Gray-sama is going to get Juvia in trouble if he can't keep quiet." Juvia explains and Gray chuckles.
"Hey, banging here was your idea. And I haven't been the only one making noise here either." He reminds her with a smirk.
Juvia blushed and giggled and ran her fingers along Gray's sweaty, heaving chest. Tracing the patterns of his scars, and the love-bites she left on him before moving up to his necklace.
"Have you thought of any baby names yet?" Juvia asks as she plays with the sword pendent on Gray's chest.
"I've been too busy trying to remember my own name throughout these past few rounds, much less think of names for anyone else." Gray says and runs one of his sweaty, calloused hands through Juvia's hair.
Juvia chuckled and sat up, swinging her leg over Gray's torso so she straddled him and sat down on his lower abdomen while pressing her hands on his chest to steady herself.
"Has Juvia been that good for Gray-sama?" She asks seductively and runs her fingers down his well-sculpted torso.
Gray let out a deep hum and ran his hands along her pale thighs and up her waist, tracing her curves with his hands.
"Juvia has been everything Gray-sama has ever wanted and more." Gray answers her.
Juvia chuckles again and raises her hips, preparing to take him inside of her once more but then Gray continues.
"You've always been. Even before we stripped naked and made love to try for a baby." Gray says. "And I'm sorry it took me so long to see that but I do now, and I want you to know that I'm not just using you or taking your love for granted Juvia. I love you just as much as you love me. I told you I wanted you to stay by my side and I meant it. Forever. So, just to make it official-"
Gray put his hands together and Juvia watched with rapt attention as he made something in-between his hands and she gasped when she saw a ring with a diamond-shaped ice crystal in the center.
"I want to make you my wife Juvia. Will you marry me?" He asks her.
"Yes!" Juvia exclaims before throwing her arms around him and kissing him.
"Yes! Yes of course! This is what Juvia has been dreaming of for so long!" Juvia exclaims before kissing him again, even harder.
Gray was gasping for air by the time Juvia released his lips and proceeded to delve into a romantic fantasy about the perfect wedding and even though Gray could barely understand what she was saying because she was talking so fast, he looked at her like she was the most precious thing in the world to him. Because she was, and he was going to protect that beautiful smile of hers from anything that could threaten it.
Lucy felt a warm feeling spread through her chest as she sat on the picnic blanket with Natsu. She couldn't believe how perfect everything was. The romantic atmosphere, the clear sky with a perfect view of the stars in the sky, and the delicious food that somehow wasn't even burned to a crisp.
"How could someone who knows nothing about romance do all of this?" Lucy asks her date.
"Hey give me some credit I'm not entirely clueless!" Natsu reorts. "I know what to do when it counts."
Lucy giggled and Natsu smiled at her.
"But to be completely honest, I went to your apartment while you were hanging out with Levy today and read some of those books that you like. I figured that if you liked the stuff in there then I should try to be like the guys in your book to be more romantic for you." Natsu says and smiles.
"Oh Natsu..." Lucy says and cups his cheek. "You don't have to be like them at all. I fell in love with you for who you are, destructiveness, denseness and everything that comes with it."
Natsu's eyes teared up a bit and he hugged her close to him and gave Lucy a big kiss on her cheek that made her laugh.
"Luce, when I first met you I thought you were the weirdest girl I've ever met and that you were annoying. And I still think both of those things about you sometimes, but now I've realized that I'm just as weird as you, and that makes you perfect to be my girl." Natsu says.
"Aw Natsu..." Lucy said and snuggled against his chest.
Everything felt all warm and fuzzy. Well, almost everything. A cold breeze blew past them and made Lucy shiver.
Natsu noticed and took off his scarf and wrapped it around her shoulders.
Lucy's heart stopped and she looked up at him. Neither of them had to say anything, they knew each other well enough by now that the looks each of them had in their eyes said it all. But tonight was special, so they finally said to each other...
"I love you Lucy." Natsu says and Lucy smiles.
"I love you too Natsu." She says before Natsu presses his mouth to hers.
Lucy smiled in-between kisses as Natsu kissed her.
Then the kisses got deeper. Lucy's hand came up and cupped Natsu's neck, absentmindedly stroking the scar on his neck while they hummed against each other's mouths.
Then Lucy's lips pulled away from his and Natsu leaned forward, chasing her mouth before opening his eyes. He was about to ask why she had pulled away, when she stood up and held her hand out to him. The blush on her cheeks was fierce.
"Why don't we continue this inside?" Lucy suggests.
"Huh? Why do you wanna go inside? You can't see the stars in there." Natsu asks, clearly confused by what Lucy was asking of him.
Lucy blushed and looked at the ground shyly.
"I don't want to see the stars right now. What I want to see is you. Naked." She says softly.
It took a moment but then it finally clicked for him what Lucy was asking and Natsu quickly stood straight up, eyes wide and a tent in his pants.
"O-oh uh, okay? Are you sure Lucy, I thought you wanted to take things slow?" Natsu asks.
"Yeah so did I but then we started kissing and I realized that we've already been taking our relationship slow for far too long, I'm ready to speed things up if you are." Lucy says.
"Oh Lucy I'm all fired up now!" Natsu exclaims.
Lucy laughs as Natsu picks her up in his arms and holds her waist as she cups his face in her hands and kisses him.
She giggled and held his shoulders as he carried her inside and then shut and locked the door.
Gajeel and Levy walked together outside of Fairy Hills, Gajeel and Panther Lily carrying the last of her stacks of books.
"Hey so Lev, tell me again why you can't even carry one of these books?" Gajeel asks.
"Because I'm already busy carrying our darling children that you so kindly gave to me." She says with a smile, and a deathly glare from her eyes.
"Ah right of course, how could I forget about that, gihee." Gajeel says while a bead of sweat drips down his forehead.
Suddenly he notices something move out of the corner of his eye. He looks up at a window and sees Juvia in her nightgown running around excitedly while Gray stood there shirtless and watched her run around with a small smile on his face.
"Hey I thought this was a girls only dorm! What the hell is ice dick doing in Juvia's room!" Gajeel asks Levy with a frown on his face.
Levy smiled and giggled when she saw Gajeel growling at Gray in the window. She had forgotten how protective Gajeel was of Juvia. He didn't talk about it to too many people or show it often, but he actually cared about Juvia a lot. In Phantom Lord he saw how depressed she was and felt sorry for her. But then once they joined Fairy Tail and she was happy, Gajeel swore he would never let Juvia become depressed like the way she was again. Which is why he was so wary of Gray being so close to Juvia. He had only ever seen Gray reject Juvia and now all of a sudden he was spending time alone with her in her room? It seemed very suspicious.
Juvia ran past Gray again but this time Gray caught her arm and pulled her in close to him.
Gajeel and Panther Lily's jaws dropped to the ground, along with the books they were carrying when they saw Gray and Juvia kissing.
"What the hell!" Gajeel exclaimed. "When did this happen?"
Then he saw Juvia's hands grab Gray's belt and start to unbuckle it, while Gray pulled down one of the straps of her nightgown.
"Hey! Cut that out right now! You're not allowed to do that in there! Get off of Juvia!" Gajeel exclaims then runs back towards the door.
"I'm gonna arrest you Gray!" He shouts before disappearing inside.
