"Come on, man! One drink won't kill you!"

Natsu cast a glance over his shoulder as he poured food for his cat. "I told ya, me and Happy are gonna watch TV tonight. There's a marathon of 'Supernatural' that I don't wanna miss."

Gray dragged a hand over his face, groaning at Natsu's refusal. "Seriously? You're going to spend your Friday night alone?"

"No," Natsu said, shaking his head as he filled the bowl on the ground. "I just said I was gonna hang out with Happy."

"Your cat doesn't count!"

Glaring, Natsu sealed the bag of food before gently placing his hands over his feline's ears, ignoring the mewling protests. "Hey! He has feelings too ya know!"

"Why the hell do I even try?" Gray muttered to himself, hand subconsciously unbuttoning his pants. His shirt was already gone, thrown somewhere in Natsu's apartment. "Just hang out with us for one night. When was the last time you had a good time?"

Natsu thought about it for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure." It was a lie. He knew exactly when his last 'good time' was. Five months and three days ago, one day before she ended things between them. They were at her place, cooking dinner before relaxing for the night.

If only he could go back to that time and fix things, but it was too late. He fucked up, and she left him. There was nothing he could do.

"All the guys are gonna be there," Gray said, hoping to change Natsu's mind. "We're not bringing our girlfriends. It'll just be us men."

Natsu snickered. "You've been hanging out with Elfman too much."

"Shut up!" Gray groaned, slipping his pants down his legs.

"Geez! Don't strip in here!" Natsu shouted as soon as he saw Gray's pale legs. "Happy and I don't wanna see that!" He covered his cat's eyes, but the feline barely noticed, busy eating the fish-flavored food.

"Sorry!" He quickly pulled up his pants, cursing when he couldn't find his shirt. "Look, just come out with us. No one's seen you in months. It's not good for you to be hole up in here like a damn recluse."

Natsu stood, eyeing his friend before sighing. "I dunno... Happy might be mad at me for cancelling at the last minute."

In the straightest face Gray could muster, he said, "I don't think he'll mind." Natsu narrowed his eyes, but Gray dismissed the glare easily. "I'll buy your first drink if you go."

Weighing the pros and cons, Natsu wondered if there was a chance he might run into his ex-girlfriend. He hoped she was staying in, knowing he wasn't ready to see her yet despite how close they used to be before and while they were dating. He missed her, but he knew it was better to stay away. After all, that was what she told him to do.

"Can I order something to eat instead?"

"If you go, then yes. I'll buy whatever you want." Gray wanted Natsu out of the house. He hadn't been the same since his break up. Honestly, Gray knew Natsu was still in love with the woman who broke his heart, and he couldn't blame him. They seemed perfect together, but every couple had their problems.

"Fine," Natsu groaned, chuckling when Gray grinned. "I'll go out, but just this once."

"That's the spirit!"

Natsu grumbled to himself as he grabbed his keys, not happy about leaving his apartment. "Give me a minute," he mumbled as he went to change into comfortable clothes, coming out a moment later wearing his baggy white shorts and black muscle shirt. It was paired with a gold-trimmed, black vest and sandals.

He tried getting revenge for the break up in juvenile ways, this time wearing the outfit his ex-girlfriend absolutely loathed. She often said it looked weird on him, which only caused him to wear it more often after she ended things.

After popping a motion sickness pill, he grinned. "Okay, now I'm ready!"

Gray took one look at Natsu's outfit before snorting, shrugging his shoulders before heading out the door. "Whatever you say, Pyro."

"Say that to my face! You Pervy Popsicle!"

"Another round!" Gajeel hollered, lifting up his empty mug while the other guys hurried to catch up with him.

Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal were gathered around a pool table, drinking and talking more than they played their game. They had spent almost two hours at the bar, no plans on leaving any time soon.

For the first time in a long time, Natsu was feeling like himself, thinking the night couldn't get better than that. He found himself drinking more than he intended, but with cash in his pocket and the number to a cab company in his phone, he didn't worry.

Tonight was a good night, and he wanted to keep the party going.

"I'll get this round," Natsu said, stumbling a bit as he went to the bar. "Kinana!" he called a little too loud once he slid onto a bar stool, chuckling when she gave him a pointed look.

"Don't you think you had enough?" she asked, but poured four mugs of beer anyway.

Natsu shook his head, feeling like he could take on more. He started the night with a juicy steak -since Gray was paying, then downed three beers. It had been months since he last drank, his tolerance at an all-time low. He was a little past buzzed and slowly creeping into the drunk stage.

In other words, he was feeling great.

"Nope!" he said, popping the 'p'. He threw the money on the bar, grabbing the four mugs. He held them to his chest so they wouldn't spill... much. "Keep the change."

Natsu walked back to the pool table slowly, eyes on the floor as he maneuvered around a few people. He was busy with his task, not noticing that his friends were gone until he set the drinks down at their table. "I got the- Where'd everyone go?"

Looking around, Natsu spotted his friend at a table across the bar. He took two steps before stopping, realizing who they were talking to. They were hanging out with their girlfriends, who happened to be his ex-girlfriend's friends. His heart sunk as a thought crossed his mind.

'If they're here... Does that mean-'

His unspoken question was answered a moment later, the doors to the bar opening to reveal the woman whose beauty rivaled that of a goddess. Breath hitching, he watched as her golden locks flared out with the wind, settling over her shoulders when the door closed behind her.

Natsu thought he was doing better, but he was wrong. Just the sight of her had his heart storming, every bottled up emotion he felt for her rushing to the surface as he watched her glance across the bar.

Her brown eyes met his. For a moment he felt like he got hit with a hurricane, body frozen but mind spinning out of control. He opened his mouth, breathing a single word.

"Lucy."

She quickly tore her gaze away from his, pushing a lock of blonde hair behind her ear before walking to the table with her friends. He watched as she sat down, unaffected after seeing him.

Natsu didn't realize how badly it would hurt. She didn't react to him, as if he was a stranger, as if they hadn't spent over a year together, talking about a future they would share.

He was nothing to her, and she...

She was still his everything.

Drowning his sorrows, Natsu grabbed a mug of beer and chugged it, nearly spilling it in his attempt to drink it in one go. She wrecked his whole world when she came out tonight, and he felt stupid for thinking them seeing each other would go any other way. She said so herself, she never wanted to see him again. And apparently, she meant it.

Swallowing the pain, Natsu tried pushing those feelings aside. He was there to hang out with his friends, but he didn't think he could go over there and join them. Not with Lucy at the same table. Despite their bitter break up, he still cared about her. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable, even if staying away from her shattered his heart.

Not wanting to be a burden to anyone, Natsu grabbed his vest before throwing it on. He could hang out with the guys some other night, maybe at one of their houses so there was no chance to run into his ex.

He was about to head for the door, but a hand catching his arm stopped him. "Where are ya going?"

Natsu glanced at Gray, seeing the confusion on his face. Sighing, Natsu said, "I'm not feeling too well. Think I'm gonna head home."

"You can't leave now! The night's still young!" Gray pulled Natsu, the two stumbling as he led him towards the table where everyone sat.

Natsu jerked away, shaking his head. "That's not a good idea."

"Why not?" Gray asked, cocking his head.

Closing his eyes, Natsu heard Lucy's voice in his mind, screaming at him like she had that night.

"Get out of here Natsu! I never want to see you again! Just leave me alone!"

Natsu swallowed hard, cheek twitching as he fought with the heaviness settling on his chest. "I gotta go," Natsu said, opening his eyes. He expected to see Gray, but instead he was met with the sight of his ex, standing in front of him.

Jolting back, Natsu grimaced. "Sorry, I was just leaving."

He saw something flash in her eyes, but it was gone a second later. "You don't have to go," she said, her voice making his heart slam against his rib cage, wanting to be near her again. He missed her voice, often thinking about it when he couldn't get to sleep at night.

He still loved her, which wasn't good for either of them.

"I-I do," Natsu assured, remembering the tears that fell down her cheeks during their break up, the quiver in her bottom lip haunting him when he felt low. "I shouldn't have come."

He tried to step around her, but she moved in the way. She kept her gaze to his side, refusing to make eye contact with him. "Please," she whispered. "I would feel bad if you left because of me... The bar's big enough for both of us."

Natsu stared at her, his eyes pricking as he wished she would look at him again. He longed for that loving gaze she used to give him before their big fight, the one that made his heart melt and his body relax. She wasn't going to give him that look, and he had to accept it.

He didn't want to make her feel bad, but staying there made him feel like shit. Seeing her reminded him of that night, the yelling, the fighting, the tears. Lucy crying was one of the sights that made his stomach twist, and he vowed he would never see it again.

"Fine," he mumbled, voice about to crack. "I'll stay."

She didn't smile, but she did nod before returning to her seat between Levy and Juvia, Gajeel and Gray's girlfriends. Gray took a seat next to Juvia and Jellal, leaving the only seat available between Erza and Gajeel.

Delaying the inevitable, Natsu went back to the pool table to grab the three remaining mugs of beer. He hesitated before sitting down with everyone, ignoring every urge in his body to look at Lucy. She was across the table from him, but he knew if he glanced at her he wouldn't be able to stop himself from feeling worse.

'I should have stayed home with Happy,' Natsu thought, thinking he wasn't nearly drunk enough for this. He wasn't a heavy drinker, finishing the occasional beer every few months, but tonight was an exception.

When a waitress came by to get their orders, Natsu asked for whiskey, not noticing the way Lucy's eyes flashed over to his for a second. He lowered his gaze after that, staring at the table while he listened to everyone else talk.

Natsu knew it was going to be a long night. He thought it was ruined with the new company, but after a while he found himself loosening up. He didn't know if it was due to his drink or the stories his friends told, but he was thankful either way. With each passing minute, he got better at ignoring the dull ache in his heart as his eyes flitted from person to person, laughing along with everyone when someone said something funny, which seemed to happen a lot.

Natsu surprised himself by telling a few stories of his own, talking about how some of the people he worked with seemed dumber than a block of wood and how recently Happy scratched one of his new neighbors when they picked him up without permission. He heard everyone's laughter, but one stood out among the rest.

Lucy's was lighter and reserved. It was her public laugh, but he remembered her real laugh. If he wasn't trying to stay away from her, he might try and get her to really laugh here, but he didn't want to upset her. He knew she didn't tell him to stay for her, it was for his friend's sake. Although that information hurt, he understood. He had to accept they were over.

But, he had a hard time doing that. After another drink, Natsu felt a little better, even daring to steal a glance or two at Lucy, throat tightening when he locked eyes with her. She was as stunning as ever, her soft lips parted and her brown eyes full of light.

Their gaze ended as quickly as it began, but it was enough to get Natsu's heart racing. She had that effect on him, before, during, and after they were together. He wanted to tell her how badly he missed her, but he kept the secret sealed away. That would surely dampen the mood at the table.

Engrossed in a conversation with Gajeel, Natsu didn't notice when Lucy left the table. After a minute he stood, drunkenly announcing he had to take a piss, earning a scolding from Erza about manners.

Laughing it off, Natsu sauntered to the male's restroom, frowning when he saw a line outside the door. Not wanting to wait, Natsu headed out of the bar and towards the alley. It wouldn't be the first time he used the bathroom outside, and it wouldn't be the last.

However, his plans halted as soon as he saw a familiar face at the mouth of the alley, smoking a cigarette. Without thinking, he blurted out, "When did you start smoking?!"

Startled, Lucy jumped, hand covering her heart when she realized it was Natsu. "Damn! You scared me!" She breathed a sigh of relief, dropping her hand. "I thought you were some creep."

Natsu was about to ask if that meant Lucy didn't consider him a creep, but he resisted the urge. "Nope, just looking for a bathroom."

She furrowed her brows before looking down the alley. "You're not... Are you thinking of peeing out here?"

Giving her a sheepish grin, he said, "Maybe."

"So gross," she mumbled, stepping aside so he could walk past her.

Natsu didn't bother to make sure she wasn't looking as he peed on the side of the building. It didn't matter to him if she was watching him or not. Lucy saw his cock plenty of times while they were dating. He was never shy about it.

On his way back to the bar, he realized she never answered his question. While she took another drag from her cigarette, he asked, "So, when'd you start?" Before he wouldn't have said anything to her, but the alcohol in his system made him chattier than normal.

Lucy, in a sober state of mind, sighed. "I picked them up after..." Stopping herself, she paused. "It's been a few months. I've been meaning to quit, but they make me feel better."

"Do you feel bad?" Natsu asked without thinking, raising a brow as she ashed her cigarette. He couldn't help but feel concerned.

"Sometimes," she admitted, inhaling again. She held the smoke in her lungs for a few seconds before exhaling. "But who doesn't."

"True."

Natsu was mesmerized by the dancing smoke. He quit smoking shortly after they broke up. They used to relieve his stress, but after he lost Lucy, they didn't make him feel good anymore. No matter what he did he felt hollow, like a piece of him was missing. He figured if he didn't feel anything anyway, he might as well give up the bad habit.

Natsu started to leave, but he stopped, wondering if it was inappropriate to voice a question that had been running through is mind for months. Knowing he could blame his behavior on his drinking, Natsu asked, "So, are... are you dating?"

Lucy's eyes widened for a moment before she dropped her gaze to the ground. "Natsu..." Her voice was low, barely above a whisper.

He immediately recognized his mistake, feeling guilty for putting her through that. "Sorry! It's none of my business." His jealousy and possessiveness were the cause to their break up, or at least led to her decision. He knew better than to try to pry into her personal life after what happened. "Forget I said anything."

He took two steps before she said something back, voice low enough that he couldn't hear her. Stopping, he turned to look at her again. "What did you say?"

She frowned while looking down, letting the cigarette burn out when it reached the filter. "I said... No. I'm not dating."

Natsu stared at her for a moment, wondering why she bothered to tell him. She had every right to keep that information to herself, and a small part of him wished she hadn't said anything. Knowing she was single made him feel like he had a chance to be with her again, but he had to crush that hope as soon as it bubbled up. Lucy was better off without him, even if he felt like she was the only one for him.

He knew eventually he had to move on, but he didn't think it was possible. Lucy had been his best friend for years before they started dating, and they were together for over a year. Sure it ended badly, but she still held his heart.

If only she knew that.

Natsu knew he should have ended the conversation there, but he had a rare opportunity to talk to her. He hadn't seen her since they broke up, and he doubted he would see her again after this, at least not for a while. Taking a risk, Natsu asked, "It... It wasn't all bad, right?"

He wondered if he had to explain what he meant, but Lucy understood him. Finally meeting his gaze, he saw the shine in her brown eyes. He recognized it. It was the way her eyes looked before she cried.

"No, Natsu," she whispered, shaking her head. "It wasn't all bad."

Lucy dropped her cigarette, hands coming up to wrap around her waist. Natsu's heart constricted when he saw her swallow thickly, trying to fight off the tears that threatened to form.

"I'm sorry, Lucy. I... I didn't mean to upset you." He felt like shit, angry at himself for making her cry. "Is there something I can do to make you feel better? Do you want me to leave and get Levy?"

"N-no..." She stumbled backwards, resting against the side of the building. "I-I'm fine."

"You're not fine." Natsu wouldn't allow himself to believe that for a second. Anyone who looked at her could tell she was hurting. "Do you want to punch me? I'll give you a free shot if it makes you feel better."

Lucy let out a broken laugh that turned into a sob. Her body shook as her tears spilled down her cheeks. "N-Natsu... Wh-where d-did we g-go wrong?"

Natsu clenched his jaw as he mulled over her words. Where did they go wrong? Wasn't it obvious? She got mad at him after he punched one of her co-workers for flirting with her. It was impulsive, done out of anger and jealousy, and it caused them to fight that night. It only ended when Lucy shouted that she never wanted to see him again.

He failed to see any other cause.

"I'm an ass," he offered, hoping it would make her feel better. It didn't, her body rocking as she sobbed harder.

Natsu's hands twitched by his sides. He wanted her to stop crying. He needed her to be happy. Lucy deserved all the happiness in the world, but he didn't know how to give it to her.

On instinct, Natsu did what he used to do when Lucy was crying. He stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her before pulling her flush against his warm body, placing a single kiss to the crown of her head. "It's okay," he mumbled into her golden locks, feeling her loosen up in his arms. "I got you."

He prepared for her to yell, ready to let her go once she said the word. However, that never happened. Instead she shocked him by holding him back, slim arms snaking around his waist while her fingers clutched at his vest.

Natsu held her, letting her cry in his arms. He wanted to cry too, but he needed to be strong for Lucy. Whatever was going on in her mind, he wanted to help her with it. In that moment, Natsu sobered up faster than he did when he drank a cup of coffee or ate something. Lucy's pain hurt him physically and emotionally.

"Why?" she mumbled into his chest, his vest and shirt getting wet with tears.

Natsu didn't move away from her as he asked, "Why what?"

Lucy's nails dug into the material of his vest, leaving slight indents in his back. "I just d-don't get it... Why d-didn't you c-come back. I thought you l-loved me."

Flinching, Natsu pulled back a few inches. "What do you mean? Of course I loved you!"

She looked up at him, watery brown eyes narrow as her bottom lip quivered. His eyes flitted to her lip, remember the sounds she made when he nipped at it. He pushed the thought aside, knowing now wasn't the time or place to be thinking such things.

"Th-then why?" she started, sniffling and swallowing thickly. "Y-you left and n-never c-came back..."

Natsu furrowed his brows, confused by what he heard. "Lucy... You told me to leave. You said you never wanted to see me again." He took her seriously. "Staying away from you was the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I did it for you!"

"I-I was just m-mad at you," Lucy pleaded, burying her head in his chest again. "I wanted you t-to come back, b-but you didn't. I... I thought you wanted to end things b-because you didn't come back..."

"What?" Natsu asked, eyes wide and lips parted. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"I thought you n-needed space, so I w-waited..." Her body shook harder as she said, "I held onto h-hope, but then... then Gr-Gray showed up a week l-later with a b-box of my stuff from your place. That was wh-when I r-realized it was over."

"Wait!" Natsu snapped, forcing Lucy away enough until he could meet her gaze. He swore his heart was in his throat, the tight pulses making it hard to talk. "You... You didn't want to break up with me?"

Lucy shook her head, fresh tears brimming her eyes. "I-I was just m-mad, but I d-didn't want to lose you. I... I lo-love you."

"Fuck," Natsu mumbled, all the pain and torment he felt since they broke up hitting him at once. It was all for nothing. This whole break up could have been avoided if they would have talked to each other, but Natsu followed her orders and stayed away, while she hoped he would come back and make up with her.

Before Natsu could dive into his thoughts, he realized what she said last. 'She still loves me?' He didn't hesitate to gently cup her cheek, feeling the wetness on her soft skin. "Lucy, I love you too."

"You d-do?"

Nodding, Natsu brushed the tears from the corner of her eye, wishing he could take away her pain. "I never stopped." He pulled her back into a hug, mumbling, "I never stopped," a few more times.

Natsu didn't know how long he held her, arms wrapped around the most precious person in his life. He swore his heart beat for her. She was his everything, and now he knew he wasn't nothing to her. She loved him. She probably never stopped loving him.

Lucy nudged her torso against him, getting him to back up. He looked down at her with a questioning gaze, watching as her hands went to his shoulders, pulling him down.

Natsu leaned in halfway, waiting to see if she really wanted it or not. He didn't want to force her into anything. It wasn't in his nature.

Luckily for him, Lucy met him halfway too, her lips softly pressing against his. He knew his lips were chapped, but she didn't seem to care as she applied more pressure, one hand cupping the back of his neck to pull him closer. His heart felt like it could burst. She was actually kissing him! He could hardly believe it.

"Is this okay?" she whispered against his lips when she ended the kiss, big brown eyes looking up at him. She was no longer crying, but the tears on her cheeks hadn't dried yet.

Natsu took a moment to wipe away the tears, hoping her eyes didn't sting as his hands settled on her waist. "Of course," he mumbled, taking the initiative to kiss her this time.

She melted at the action, humming when they closed their eyes and tilted their heads. It had been months since Natsu kissed her, but that time meant nothing. He remembered everything she liked and didn't like when it came to being intimate.

Slowly, after a minute of kissing, Natsu parted his mouth. His tongue came out, languidly trailing across her bottom lip, seeking access. Every touch sent fire through his veins, reassuring him this was really happening.

Lucy granted it, opening her mouth to invite him in. The two clung to each other as if they needed the other to live, only ending the kiss when they needed air. Natsu mumbled how much he missed her against her lips before thrusting his tongue into her mouth, wishing he could make up for the many months they were separated over a stupid misunderstanding.

Lucy let him dominate her mouth, holding him close and moaning when he sucked on her tongue. She didn't realize her hands went under his shirt, feeling his back muscles before her nails lightly scraped against his skin. Natsu growled, causing her knees to feel weak.

Lucy couldn't deny she wanted Natsu. She had craved him the entire time they were apart. She didn't see any point in beating around the bush. Judging from the hardness pressed against her leg from Natsu's shorts, she guessed he wanted it to.

They could sort out the messy details later.

Pulling away from the kiss, Lucy asked, "Do you remember how to get to my house?"

Natsu nodded, holding her gaze. "I don't think I could forget."

Lucy pressed another kiss to his lips before saying, "Take me there."

After a few more kisses and stumbling to his truck, Lucy took his keys. He might have been mentally sober, but his body wasn't. She climbed in the driver's seat, taking a moment to let the nostalgia wash over her before starting the engine.

They both sent text messages to their friends, saying they were leaving. They didn't say they were leaving together, but they knew their friends were smart and would figure it out. Part of him wondered if his friends set this whole thing up, but he didn't care either way. He was with Lucy, and that was all that mattered right now.

Lucy drove, Natsu leaned over and peppered her shoulder with kisses, a hand massaging her inner thigh. He couldn't help but think about earlier in the night. If he would have just put his drink down and walked out, they wouldn't be driving to her house right now. He didn't expect things to turn out like this, but he would be lying if he said he wasn't happy.

Lucy still loved him.

She never wanted to break up.

Everything was a big misunderstanding.

He knew they couldn't pick up right where they left off. It would take a while to adjust to their relationship again, but Natsu didn't mind that right now. The only thing he could think about was showing Lucy how much he loved her and how badly he missed her.

"Damn!" Natsu growled, throwing his head back as Lucy squeezed his cock through his shorts. They were in her bedroom, under the covers. He spent nearly ten minutes spoiling her mouth and neck with kisses while dry humping her covered core, but it turned out Lucy wanted more.

Natsu threw off the covers, the heat from their passion causing the two of them to sweat. While she rubbed at the length in his shorts, her mouth attacked his neck. He groaned when Lucy licked over his throat, knowing she could feel him gulping on her tongue. "Fuck, Lucy!"

"Later," she moaned in his ear, sending chills down his spine. Biting at his lobe, she slipped her hand into his shorts. "I want to play first."

"Y-yeah," Natsu agreed, throat going dry as her deft fingers pumped his shaft. It lasted for less than a minute before Lucy pulled away, her brows furrowed.

Before he could ask her what was wrong, she said, "Strip out of those stupid clothes."

Natsu's lips twitched into a smirk, remembering he wore the outfit Lucy hated on purpose. He was slow with his movements, carefully removing his vest while keeping his eyes on her. He knew he was teasing her, but he couldn't stop. The annoyed look on her face was too good to resist.

"Here," she muttered, gripping the hem of his shirt before pulling it up. If he wasn't going to undress himself in a timely manor, she would have to do it herself.

Natsu chuckled as she ripped at his shorts, taking his boxers with them after a few tugs. His thick cock sprang free, the cold apartment air brushing against the heated skin. Pre-cum was leaking, a testament to the attraction he felt for Lucy.

"You're next," Natsu taunted, grabbed the waistband of the jeans she wore. She lifted up, helping him remove them before he tossed them aside. When he looked at her panties, he couldn't help but laugh. They were plain white and larger than the kind she used to wear when they were dating. Although they weren't big enough to be considered granny panties, they were still a sight to see on the sexy woman.

Lucy huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "What? They're comfortable!"

Natsu snickered, fingers pulling them off her body. "I didn't say anything."

Still glaring at him, she confessed, "I wasn't planning on going home with anyone tonight."

Natsu's cock leaped as his heart warmed. Despite not being together, he still had her. He wondered if she hoped they might get back together like he did, but he said nothing on the matter. He wanted to enjoy their reunion before they got down to the messy details.

"You're so fucking sexy," he murmured, dropping the panties on the ground as his hands rubbed up and down her thighs, coaxing her to relax. She did, parting them slightly to reveal her womanhood. He felt the need to jump her now, but he couldn't be greedy. There were certain steps he wanted to take before burying himself in her body, and one of them was taking off her shirt.

Natsu delayed, warm hands running over her hips and waist before venturing up. She closed her eyes and let out a soft sigh when he cupped her breasts, her nipples straining against the material of her shirt. He felt her bra easily, letting him know both articles of clothing were much too thin. Natsu held back the urge to rip them off of her, slowly lifting it to reveal each inch of creamy, smooth skin. She was breathtaking.

Natsu took his time when it came to removing her bra. Unlike her panties, her bra was seductive, black lace adorning the pink silk material. He planted soft and sensual kisses to her cleavage before his devilish tongue lapped over her bra, getting it and her hidden nipple wet.

Lucy whimpered when he bit her through her bra, each sound she made more delicious than the last. "Fuck," Natsu groaned, hands wrapping around her to unhook her bra. He needed to see her uncovered. He fumbled with it for a few tries before getting it, the cups supporting her heavy breasts going slack, but it didn't matter. Lucy was naturally perky. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you too," Lucy said, smiling before she pushed him on his back, taking control. Natsu wasn't prepared for the change, but he welcomed it as soon as she grabbed his arousal, giving him a tentative stroke.

"Does that feel good?" she asked, knowing the answer but wanting to hear it anyway. She pumped his cock, smearing his pre-cum on his heated, sensitive skin.

He moaned, bucking into her fist as his hands gripped her blankets. He was willing to surrender control if it meant she kept touching him. "Y-yeah, feels great!"

Lucy bent down, breath fanning over his throbbing member. "Good," she whispered before dragging her tongue along the underside of him, sending fire through his veins. He almost forgot how seductive she was in bed, her soft brown eyes and her wicked tongue working to fry Natsu's brain. She truly was a minx.

"Ahhhh!"

Holding his gaze, Lucy skimmed her swollen lips over the head of his cock. Her teasing smile had his heart hammering out of control. "Like what you see?"

He couldn't nod fast enough.

Natsu's breath hitched when she gently sucked on his tip, tongue swiping over the slit before she let her excess saliva drip over his flushed cock. He swore he could finish without having sex, but he wanted more than that. He wanted to be inside her, making love to the only woman for him.

Lucy massaged his cock with her mouth and tongue while her hand stroked whatever she couldn't reach. Natsu growled under her, body jerking as she sucked him. He hadn't been intimate with another person since their break up, having his hand to pleasure him during their time apart. It was nothing compared to Lucy's hot mouth.

"F-fuck, you're so fucking good at that!"

When his cock was thoroughly coated with her saliva, Lucy pulled up. Natsu took the opportunity to grab her hips, flipping them over until he was on top. His sharp green eyes caught hers as he leaned down, giving her mouth a rough kiss.

"My turn."

Lucy moaned into his mouth, one hand gripping his pink hair while the other continued to stroke his throbbing cock. Natsu didn't bother being shy, his hand that wasn't supporting his weight drifting down between Lucy's legs. He felt her soft blonde curls before venturing down.

She jolted at first, surprised by his warm fingers against her wet folds, but as he traced along her sex, she relaxed. With the pad of his thumb softly rubbing her bundle of nerves, Natsu sunk two greedy fingers into her body, feeling the wet heat from her core.

"Mmmmm, d-damn, Lucy!"

Every touch stoked the fire between them. Her hand pumped his cock faster when he rubbed along her spongy walls, hitting her sweet spot again and again. He leaned down, sucking at her neck to leave a mark. He remembered what she liked, using it to his advantage.

"Na-Natsuuu!" Lucy mewled, body convulsing as she tumbled over the edge. "Nnngghhh!"

"Don't hold back," Natsu mumbled, planting scolding kisses against her collarbone. "I love the sounds you make." He took a moment to appreciate her large chest, tongue lapping and sucking on each nipple before making his way down to her core.

"Naahhhh!"

Her legs tensed when Natsu's mouth enveloped her sex, tongue sampling the flavor he missed so much. He couldn't get his fill, thrusting his wet muscle as far as it would go, loving the way her sweet wetness tasted.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't get to bring her to a climax by his tongue before she stopped him, tugging at his arms until he got the message. "What is it?" Natsu asked, tongue licking at his lips to get every bit of her juices into his mouth.

"I want you," she confessed, hands falling to his hips. "Now."

Natsu swallowed as his eyes widened. "Oh." He wanted to keep playing with her, but if Lucy wanted him now, she was going to get him now.

Natsu grabbed the base of his cock, bringing his tip between her legs before pausing. "Are you still on birth control?"

Groaning, Lucy shook her head. "No. I stopped a few months ago... I didn't see a point in taking it anymore."

Natsu knew he shouldn't have asked, but he did anyway. "So, you haven't been with anyone else, since we... broke up?"

She didn't look offended at his question, even offering him a smile as she said, "I haven't. Not even a date."

"Me either," Natsu confessed, feeling relieved they were in the same boat. The very thought of being with anyone else made Natsu feel sick and wrong. His heart wanted Lucy, and no one else could compare. "I don't want anyone but you, Lucy."

She smiled, lifting to give Natsu a kiss on his lips, tasting a bit of herself when she pulled away. She licked her lips, the action gaining Natsu's attention. "There's still backup condoms in the nightstand."

Nodding, Natsu shifted to the side of her bed. He opened the drawer, seeing the twelve pack box of condoms. He pulled them out, noting only one was missing. He smiled. It was just how they left it before they broke up, only using one condom when Lucy forgot to take her pill one day.

Luckily for both of them, the condoms weren't past their expiration date. He couldn't imagine how unappealing it would be if they had to stop what they were doing to go to the store and buy new ones. If it came down to that, Natsu would skip that step and choose to get her off again with his mouth until she was satisfied, not wanting to separate from her for a second.

Grabbing one of the condoms, Natsu opened the wrapper and rolled it on his cock. It felt weird wearing one after so long, but he knew they couldn't risk getting pregnant. As much as he loved Lucy, he knew he wasn't ready to be a father. However, when the time came, he couldn't imagine anyone else he would rather be a parent with.

Before beginning, Natsu moved downwards again. Dragging his tongue over her wet folds, he tasted and smelled her heavenly scent. She was wet, but he wanted her dripping. His lips wrapped around her bundle of nerves, tongue flickering over it without mercy. Her body quickly shook when he spoiled her sex.

"Aaahhhh, f-fuck!" she moaned, coaxing him to continue.

His warm hands massaged her thighs, her legs spreading shamelessly so he could have better access to her core. She pulled at his pink locks, body jerking as she writhed in pleasure. Natsu swore when he went down on her it was the sexiest thing he saw, Lucy lost in ecstasy and him drinking whatever she had to offer.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Toes curling and hand coming up to cover her mouth, Lucy let out a muffled scream in time with her climax. Natsu slowly licked at her sex, leaving some of her juices behind for when he took her.

"I thought I said not to hold back," Natsu teased, nipping at her inner thigh, causing her to jolt. "I missed the way you sound."

She let out a breathy sigh, sweat dotting her forehead and her eyes half-open. "Sorry," she mumbled, a lazy smirk on her face. "Won't do it again."

"That's okay," he said as he moved. Natsu climbed on top of her, mouth covering hers to let her taste herself. Her tongue came out without any prompting, exploring every inch in his hot cavern as she moaned at the flavor. If memory served him correctly, she was a sucker for the taste of her pussy too.

As Natsu got into position, he felt her legs curling around his hips. He wanted to ram himself in her, but he knew he had to be gentle. This was their first time having sex in over five months, and he didn't want to hurt her. It had to be special.

Peppering her neck and shoulder with kisses, he whispered, "Are you sure you want this? We don't have to if you don't want it."

He heard Lucy scoff under him, hands coming up to grip his back. "If you don't start soon, I'm going to flip us and do it myself."

Natsu chuckled at the threat. "I kinda like that idea." He pulled back, seeing the mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Don't test me," she started with a teasing voice, nails lightly raking over his skin. They both knew he loved when she scratched him during sex. "My Dragon."

Natsu's cock throbbed as his blood raced. He moaned, burying his face into the crook of her neck to nip at her delicate skin. "As you wish, my Princess."

Lucy shivered in his arms, clearly missing their role playing as much as he did. Natsu grabbed his cock, lining it up with Lucy's dripping core before rubbing his tip against her clit. She squirmed under him, whimpering as he sunk in slowly.

"G- Fuck!" Natsu grunted, feeling her tight walls wrap around him. He guessed five months without sex was bound to have a few benefits, but at the same time, it had just as many cons. He didn't know how long he would last if she stayed this snug around him.

Lucy's nails bit into his back as he pushed himself into her, moaning when he moved to suck on a pert nipple to distract her from the entry. It didn't hurt like she thought it would. Instead it felt incredible.

It felt filling.

Natsu stopped when he was completely inside her, taking a moment to let her adjust. He felt sweat collect on the back of his neck and forehead, but he didn't move to wipe it off. He was too busy focusing on her breasts, nipping and licking so he could hear her heavy sighs and whimpers.

Lucy always made the best noises when aroused, very responsive.

He pulled back, admiring her flushed face. Her blonde hair spread over the pillow, her brown eyes hazy with lust. She was beautiful, and she was his. 'Mine,' Natsu thought, one hand gripping her thigh. She reacted, inner walls squeezing him in response to draw out a moan.

"Lucy, you feel amazing," he blurted out, heart beating harder for her. She was nice and tight around him, but that wasn't all. It felt right being inside her, like they belonged together.

"You do too," she whispered, voice airy. She gave him a lazy smile before saying, "I'm ready when you are."

Nodding, Natsu started pulling out. He enjoyed the feeling of her core trying to keep him in place, only for that pleasure to increase when he started thrusting into her again.

Lucy's body shifted as he rocked into her, her heavy breasts jiggling with every pump into her tight body. The feeling of fucking his length in and out of her was mouth watering, heat flooding his system when she moaned his name.

"Natsu! H-harder!"

Without pulling out, Natsu lifted until he was upright, throwing Lucy's legs over his thighs as he gripped her hips, thrusting into her at a rough pace. He was going to be gentle, but now he wanted to fuck her so hard she wouldn't walk right the next morning.

He heard a drastic change in the sounds she made when he picked up the pace. She didn't bother muffling her noises, moaning loudly while her hands gripped his shoulders. "D-don't stop! Fuck, Naahh, Natssuuu! Y-yeah! R-right there!"

"Damn," Natsu growled, feeling her walls clamping around him before her orgasm hit. He kept his mind focused on giving her pleasure, not wanting to surrender yet. He wanted to make up for every night he wasn't able to hold her in his arms and kiss her before falling asleep.

"Like, that?" Natsu asked, giving her long and hard thrusts, a hand coming between them to massage her engorged clit.

Her body jerked as she nodded, voice raspy but sexy. "Yes! J-just like that, Natsu!"

The way she moaned his name sent a fire straight to his belly. Rubbing her nub vigorously, Natsu growled. "You're so fucking sexy, Lucyyyy. Fuck!"

"Nnghh," she responded, eyes shutting tight as her legs began to shake. "Ahh, ahhh!"

He felt it, her core tightening and releasing over and over again as her body flooded with pleasure. He brought her to climax again, but he wasn't through with her yet.

Pulling out quickly, Natsu flipped them over so Lucy was on her stomach. While she was still coming down from her natural high, he got to work. He pushed her legs together until there was no space in between, then moved her arms by her side.

Natsu climbed over her, spreading her tight ass cheeks to reveal her glistening pussy. Just for added measures, Natsu spit, his saliva dripping over her core before a thumb rubbed it in. He could see her folds trembling in anticipation, ready for his cock.

Natsu entered her, making sure to only go halfway in at first since this position allowed for a deeper penetration. He didn't want to hurt her by bottoming out too hard. He received results immediately, her back arching as her hands balled into fists. Her core tightened around him, trying to squeeze him dry, but he wasn't surrendering yet.

Hovering over her, Natsu pushed aside her golden locks to reveal her neck. He kissed her, tongue licking at her flesh. Lucy moaned, one hand gripping his thighs until her nails indented his skin.

"That... that feels so fucking good!" Lucy's breathing picked up with every pump, enjoying the way Natsu spread her wide. He slipped a hand under them, finding her bundle of nerves to massage while he continued to suck on her neck.

Lucy couldn't handle it.

"Y-y- Ahhhhh!" She came hard around his cock, core pulsing and walls clenching. "Y-yes!"

"Sh-shit," Natsu grunted, heat pooling in his stomach as his member throbbed painfully. He was close, and he knew with the way Lucy was wailing, he wouldn't be able to resist.

Pleasure overwhelmed him when she dug her nails into his thighs, breaking the skin in a few places. He panted, hips stuttering as he tried to hold out, but it was useless. He came with Lucy, releasing everything he had into the condom. "F...fuck."

He had to support himself on his elbows, otherwise he would crush her with his weight. Coming down from his own high, Natsu left languid kisses on her neck, feeling her pussy give weak squeezes with every kiss. She was amazing, and she was his again.

"I love you so much," he murmured into her ear, nuzzling his nose into her neck before breathing in her scent. He missed her badly when they were apart, and he hoped they would never break up again, misunderstanding or not.

She was his everything, his rock, his best friend, and his lover. No one could replace her. His heart and mind wouldn't allow it.

"Love... you... too," she mumbled, eyes closed and lips parted.

He nearly snorted. She fell asleep! 'Was the sex that good?' Natsu wondered, slowly pulling out of her spent core and rolling on his back.

He was exhausted himself, muscles aching and eyes begging to shut. He hadn't had a good release like that since before their break up. His hand was a pitiful substitute for her, but for a while that was all he had.

Natsu laid there for a few more minutes before summoning the energy to get up. Remembering the layout of the house, he went to her bathroom to wash up. On his way back, he stopped, flinching when he heard a growl behind him. He turned around slowly, eyes searching for the source of the noise.

Confused, Natsu looked down, seeing a small white dog staring up at him. Its lips curled back as it let out another growl. "You gotta be kidding me," he laughed, seeing the tiny thing take a defensive step back. "She got a dog?"

Keeping one hand over his limp cock -if he was going to get bit he didn't want it to be there, Natsu sat down in front of the canine. He held his other hand out, being patient until the small creature decided it was safe enough to approach.

Natsu gave the dog a few scratches behind its ear before he noticed the collar. He carefully shifted it until he saw the name tag.

Plue

"Hi Plue," Natsu said, scratching him under his chin. Plue warmed up to him quickly, rolling on his back to get a belly rub. Natsu laughed as he obeyed the dog's demand, wondering how long Lucy had the dog and why he didn't notice it when they came in.

Then again, they went straight to the bedroom. There wasn't any time for a quick tour of the place.

After petting Plue, Natsu stood up and went back to her room. He put on his boxers, then decided to take a look around. He didn't go through any of her stuff, wanting to respect her privacy. Pointless jealousy led to their break up, and he wanted to be better this time for her sake and his own.

Natsu gave up looking around when his stomach started growling. Making himself at home, he grabbed a pudding cup and soda from her kitchen. Clad in his boxers, Natsu ate his midnight snack at her dining room table, noting she didn't change most of her house since they split up.

What was most surprising was a few pictures of the two of them were still hanging on the wall, but the realized they were all before they started dating. The ones of them as a couple were taken down and replaced with other photos of Lucy's friends.

He couldn't blame her. He removed all the photos of Lucy from his walls and put them in a closet for safe keeping. The memories being too important to his heart, he couldn't bring himself to throw them out.

Done eating, Natsu headed back into Lucy's room. She was now curled on her side, snoring lightly with a bit of drool escaping her lips. She was adorable when she slept, and tonight was no exception.

Careful not to wake her, Natsu climbed into bed with her after turning off the lights, throwing the blankets over their bodies. He didn't know if Lucy would mind sleeping nude, but it seemed better than putting her clothes back on for her. He didn't want her to think he was being creepy.

Before their break up he wouldn't have thought twice about dressing her, but he knew things were different. They would have to rebuild what they had, nurture it to be better than before. He was determined to make that happen, as long as it was what Lucy wanted.

As he pulled Lucy into his arms, he felt her stir. "Natsu?"

Smiling, he kissed her forehead, breathing softly over her face. "Yeah?"

"... Did you steal my pudding?"

Green eyes snapped open when he realized he had chocolate on his breath. 'Damn it!'

"... Yes."

Lucy let out a soft grumble. "Better get me more."

Laughing softly, Natsu nodded. "Yes, my Princess."

"Mmmm."

He thought she was going to fall asleep, but she surprised him by asking, "Can we give it another shot?"

"Sex?" Natsu asked, feeling too tired to try again.

She let out a soft giggle. "No. I meant us. Can we give us another shot?"

Natsu held her tighter, his heart pounding and his eyes pricking. He swore he could cry in joy. "I'd love that."

Lucy pressed her face against his bare chest, feeling his hot skin. "You can't be as jealous as you were before."

He didn't bother denying his past behavior. "I know, and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have punched that guy. I know you'd never cheat on me. I was worried for nothing. I'm sorry."

"Apology accepted."

Natsu felt tears brimming his eyes. He didn't realize how badly he wanted her forgiveness until now. He messed up, but she forgave him. Swallowing hard, Natsu mumbled, "Thank you. I promise I'll be a better boyfriend this time."

Lucy sighed in contentment, barely holding onto consciousness. "I know you will be, Natsu."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Feeling whole again, Natsu and Lucy fell asleep in each other's arms. It would take time to get back to where they were before the break up, but they were already moving past the misunderstanding. Natsu wished things turned out differently, that he would have came to her after their fight and begged for forgiveness, but neither could change the past.

They could only try to make up for the lost time and rebuild their relationship, one step at a time.

So what'd you think? I thought about writing this a month ago, but I was afraid it would sound too much like "Home Alone Tonight" since they met at a bar and hooked up that night. Hopefully it was different, but if not, my bad. Hope you enjoyed it anyways. Let me know what you thought!
