Lucy knew she was in deep when she actually debated leaving over Christmas break. She was an awful liar and always had been. It made her feel worse knowing she chickened out of a party, of all things.

She lay with her legs stretched out on the sofa, her fingers flying over the keyboard of her laptop. Lucy desperately wanted to search up astronomy programs. Maybe search up how to not be an idiot, look for ways to get out of lies while she's at it.

It was Erza's look that made her the most uncomfortable. It was like that redhead knew everything just by making eye contact. She truly was a fantastic woman.

The knock at Lucy's door made her quickly sit up and shut her laptop. "Door's open!" She shouted; she had left it unlocked for Natsu.

Low and behold, Natsu kicked off his shoes in her doorway and let them land haphazardly. He chained the door back up before hopping over the back of the couch and landing at Lucy's feet. "What's up?"

Nudging the laptop onto the coffee table, Lucy placed her legs on top of Natsu's lap. "I was writing. How was your day?"

Things seemed so much simpler now that she had gotten to know Natsu. The small talk, the deep talk, even the impromptu sex lessons had grown to ease her. There were times even that she felt like a normal woman with normal - urges.

"Boring. Erza had to keep tugging me awake in the lecture again. I think I managed though." Natsu shrugged his shoulders softly.

The blonde just smiled. "And what was the lecture about then?"

"Not clue." Natsu spoke almost too quickly, then attempted to change the subject. "What were you writing about?"

Lucy moved her shoulder meekly, lip chewed between teeth. "I don't know yet. Right now they're just words."

"Just words?" Natsu turned his body towards her, hands rubbing along her calves. "You're smarter than just words."

Managing a small smile, Lucy's cheeks became pink as she bowed her head to look down at her lap. "My empty brain seems to say otherwise."

Natsu leaned forward again, his body moving down until his head rested on her thighs, face nuzzled against soft bare skin. "Maybe you just need motivation. Like a big cup of black coffee or some other more intense drug than caffeine."

The blonde smacked the back of his head lightly. "I'm not doing drugs, you idiot." She managed a laugh.

Pressing his face against her thigh, Natsu's arm wrapped around to feel the counters of her hip. "Then don't do drugs. Do me."

Lucy took a moment before whistling lowly. "Wow. That was the smoothest you have ever been to me."

Natsu lifted his head up just enough to give her a proud smile. "My flirts are getting really good. Gray taught me how to be suave."

Had she been drinking something, Lucy might have just choked on it a little. "Yeah, because Gray is really smooth with the ladies." She snorted, shaking her head.

Natsu's mouth opened enough to gently bite her flesh, leaving little pink tooth marks on her inner thigh. She tried not to mind it. "Have you seen Gray in public?" He asked, breath hot on her skin. "Girls practically drool over him."

Lucy just rolled her eyes. She knew that Natsu hadn't put things together yet, but it was a trench in his childhood friendship with Gray. "That's not what I mean, like - "

Her voice trailed off when she felt Natsu bury his face deeper between her legs. It was hard, nearly impossible, to get to her core when she sat like that on the couch, but Natsu was never one to give up. His hand pawed at her leg like a puppy.

"Will you - I'm just trying to say that Gray isn't like tha - would you stop it!" Lucy's legs shuffled a bit beneath him, but it did nothing; Natsu still didn't pay attention to what she said.

Natsu ran his hand down her thigh and to her knee where he tickled the soft spot behind it. Lucy let out a wildly undisguised laugh, trying to kick away from his grasp. "Natsu!" She shouted again, through laughter now.

The pink haired young man groaned and looked up at her, ceasing his tickling for a moment in order to go back and massage her upper thighs. "And then just what is Gray like?" He asked with an impatient roll of his eyes.

"Well..." it was hard to concentrate with Natsu so eagerly trying to win her over. It was hard to deny it, especially when he was the only one to give her such strong sensations of happiness. "I mean, has Gray actually ever had a girl friend?"

Natsu's teeth grabbed onto the fabric of her comfy stay-at-home shorts and tugged on them; when he let it go, it snapped back against her smooth lower stomach. "I dunno, why does it even matter?"

Lucy puffed out her cheeks, alleviating her pent up stress through silly facial expressions. Once again shifting around on the couch, she would never admit to herself that she spread her legs just a little bit right then. "Because he's been your best friend since you were kids and you guys barely even talk."

The boy in her lap looped his fingers around the hem of her shorts and pulled them aside a bit, brushing against the thin layering of underwear. "He's still one of my only friends and he knows it. We're a happy couple, I assure you."

"But how can you be so sure of that?" Lucy protested. "It's been so long that you may not even know him anymore, and he may not even know you."

"Look, what does it matter?" Natsu picked up his head and spoke sharply in annoyance. "You've never even had any friends so how could you know?"

Lucy sat back in silence for a moment. Neither of them moved of spoke until Natsu pulled away a bit and hung his head down. "Look, I - "

"No, no," Lucy turned her head away from him, hands massaging her face, "don't apologize for the truth."

"That's not how I meant it. I honestly don't even know if you had friends when you were younger." Natsu picked his head up again to stare at her with wide dark eyes.

Lucy sat still, chewing the inside of her cheek. "It doesn't matter. Because you guys are my friends now. And I want things between you guys to be perfect. I don't know what I would do if you guys grew apart and left me without all of you together."

Natsu tilted his head to the side. "I'm sorry, Luce." His features were heavy, ridden with regret. "We're not going anywhere. But," he continued before Lucy could interrupt, "I'm also not going to sit down with Gray so we can share our deep dark secrets."

A small smile played up on Lucy's face, just barely noticeable. "As long as I get to selfishly keep all of you, then I'll allow it."

Natsu drew his hand up to his brow, giving her a mock salute. "That's why you're the best thing I've had." His onyx eyes threw her a wink, instantly reverting back to his playful ways.

Lucy sighed sharply. By now she just sit back and let Natsu have his way; it was no use trying to argue over business that simply was not hers. But she wanted Gray and Natsu alike to be happy; she truly did have such strong feelings for these people she met only recently.

His fingers finally pulled aside her undergarments; Lucy's one leg fell out the couch as she opened up for him just a bit more. The smile of triumph on Natsu's face made her beet red. The feeling of his lips warm against her core somehow turned her ears an even darker shade than before.

She felt him more than Lucy had ever felt anything before. She felt his lips on her center, tongue rolling over her clit. She felt him when he laced his fingers with hers so tightly that she could feel the heartbeat in his palms.

Lucy's head rolled back in pleasure, but before she could get comfortable Natsu drew away and grabbed her hips, yanking her down onto her back. She let out a few screams of laughter as his hands grabbed onto the soft spots of her sides.

He stood over her, hands pulling down her pants further along her thighs. Her legs lifted up and playfully wiggled in the air as he moved the garments down off her calves and tossed them away. The couldn't help but smile in a fit of excited giggles as Natsu shrugged the clothing from his torso.

His bare upper body fell down over her once again, strong arms bracing himself up beside her head. Lucy's eyes ran from his navel up to his sturdy chest and finally locked onto his eyes. Her hands dared to move forward, tugging at the waistband of his pants.

Natsu inhaled a sharp breath and let her hand move down into his underwear, soft skin of her hands gently stroking over his growing erection. The haze in his eyes was enough motivation for Lucy to wrap her hand around him, feeling his body in her control.

He let out a shaky exhale of excited pleasure before his hand, too, snaked down to feel at her center. At first their touches were steady, two in sync adults with the intention to make each other feel good, but they soon ended up like newborns just greedily grasping and pawing and tugging at one another as the desire to come grew in them.

Lucy and Natsu's hips moved in tune with each other, moving in the same motion to push deeper into their partner's hands. It was truly a glorious sight to see their partner trembling all because of their touch and to feel the exact same way in return.

It took only a few seconds to get in sync, but after a holding on for as long as possible and eagerly pushing the other to their limits, they came together. Lucy's head tilted back, mouth gaping open as almost inaudible moans escaped, Natsu's eyes fluttered half closed and half fixed on the erotic movement of Lucy's body when she was in pure ecstasy.

They held onto each other for a while until Natsu's arm grew too shaky to keep himself up, so he rolled over into the corner of the couch, Lucy's back to his chest, their feet tangled so she didn't fall off. There was still clothing missing from their bodies haphazardly, but the door was locked and for the first time in a very long time, Lucy enjoyed something entirely - and without regret.

Unpopular opinion as it may be, but Lucy - and likely Natsu - though that second base was a perfectly delicious base.
