*Sorry for the late update. This is a short chapter but it's like a set up chapter. You know to get things going.

The group had an uneventful last few days at the beach house. Lucy and Natsu were forced to sleep in separate rooms after Gray and Juvia got into a huge argument that no one really understood.

"Gray – sama is a liar!"

"What did I lie about!"

"Everything!"

The group was unaware of how it started, or why it started, but since Lucy and Natsu were the only non-couple it was decided that they would separate. So, Natsu spent the remainder of his time with Gray, who was sulkier than usual, and Lucy spent the remainder of her time with Juvia. Oh, and thanks to the fight, it rained. If it wasn't for anally retentive Erza, they probably would have left sooner.

But, they arrived home when they did, and though Lucy had fun on her trip, she decided that it couldn't have come at a sooner time. It was decided, against her will, that everyone will stop off at Lucy's apartment, before they went home. Natsu and Gajeel had their reasoning, their exceeds were there. Lucy knew that, Lucy could respect that, but she didn't understand why everyone needed to go everywhere together all the time.

"Natsu – san! Lucy – san!" Wendy squealed with Charle. "Oh…and everyone else – san. Hi everyone!" The group swarmed Lucy's kitchen, each of them hugging Wendy's and giving their hellos. Natsu and Lucy stayed in their spot for a moment, both of them feeling like they were in some sort of…sex limbo.

"I would Lucy, but my motion sickness…"

"Natsu when are we gonna be able to once we get back we're screwed."

"I can't right now. We'll just lock ourselves in your apartment until further notice."

"This sucks."

It was safe to say that both of them were hard up and irritated.

Lucy managed to muster up a smile and then took her spot on the couch. Natsu followed, in a trance, the both of them in a trance.

"I wish they'd leave." He whispered softly, so only Lucy, could hear.

She then muttered a 'why' and he didn't answer her. Not with words anyways. He would rub his hand against her thigh, trailing his fingers her skirt at a sinfully slow pace that tortured the both of them.

And then she mouthed and 'oh' and sunk into the couch.

His fingers danced into minute circles against her inner thighs, Lucy forgetting how to breathe normally. Her eyes met his and locked, her mouth parting a little bit. He had his head tilted a little bit, watching her subtle movements. He watched how her pupils dilated with every press of his rough digit. The way her tongue dipped out just slightly, only enough for him to notice, and slid against her dry, plump lips. He watched her quiver as his fingers grazed against her sweetly. He watched her legs subconsciously part as he inched closer to her region. He wasn't going to touch her in front of others, and she knew that, but he loved watching her succumb under his touch.

"Okay, guys I'll see you later!" They were snapped out of their trance at the sound of Wendy's voice. They waved her off, Lucy thanking her for housesitting. The couple look around the apartment and saw that it had emptied. This confused them, how long had they been out of it?

Natsu looked around the apartment once more and when he realized that it was in fact completely empty, he tackled Lucy against the couch, His tongue slipped into her mouth as they glided against each other, his hips rolling against hers. Lucy pressed up against him, her fingers pulling at his hair. He slipped his hands underneath her very small, and very revealing shit, dragging his thumbs against her tight abdomen. He dragged them gently against her skin when he reached the underside of her plush breast.

He sat in between her legs and continued to roll his erect member against her body. His member rubbing ever so delicately against her calling her sex.

His kisses became slower, sweeter, less frenzied but just as needy. Lucy responded to this with the same vigor, keeping her need very apparently, but pulling at him slowly. She sucked his tongue a bit as her own fingers trailed down his body. She glided his fingers against his waistline, dipping the tips inside a bit.

"Natsu.." She whined, breaking the kiss momentarily. "I lo – " She stopped, realizing what this meant, realizing that she wasn't ready to lose. "I long for your thingy."

"I – what?" He questioned, laughing at her.

"You know…doooo me."

Natsu perched his brow at her. He pulled back completely and sat up, staring at her with confusion. He clearly didn't believe her and she could read it on his face.

"Lucy, this is wrong. What we're doing is wrong." He lied smoothly and kept his eyes away from her. "This is a shared act, I've read it about it your novel, it's a certain act of love and let's face it we're just doing this for fun."

Lucy now knew exactly what he was doing and apart of her filled with rage. Another part was far too impressed with his ingenious tactic to care.

"Oh, you think so Natsu?" She sat up, fixing up her hair.

"Yes. We should stop this disgrace!" He held his hands on his hips and let out a disgruntled sigh. "Unless you got something to say."

"Nope!" And she hopped up off her couch, grinning from ear to ear. "Sex is for vacation and lovers. Neither of that is happening here, so I guess that's the end of that."

Natsu looked at her, his insides tearing apart from irritation. She was so smart, too smart for him at times and this was one of those times. Natsu wasn't sure what to do at this moment. The last thing he wanted to do was lose.

"Yep. So I guess I'll go to the guild then, maybe go look for Happy."

"Good, you do that." Her voice cracked, the realization that she might lose coming across her.

"I will. Later Lucy." And they high fived as he stepped out the door. Now Lucy is smart, very smart. She knew what he was trying to do and she was afraid he would succeed. If Natsu was pulling the trick she thought he was, she knew he was standing outside of her door waiting for her to cave.

And she was close to doing so. Lucy didn't want to lose out on something amazing, because of a sheer will to win. But they were both stubborn and someone would have to bend. Natsu wasn't going to, she knew that, so she figured she would and she headed towards the door. Lucy then had to think if she really wanted to be with someone who wouldn't bend. If they can't bend because of some stupid challenge, then how can they bend when it's something rather important, so she pulled back from the door.

Lucy also had the epiphany, that by not opening the door, she herself couldn't bend. So she couldn't judge. As she headed towards the door, it swung back open, damn near hitting her in the face.

"Lucy, listen, I don't care if we're on vacation or here. I don't care if you say it now or never. I love you. I'm in love with you, I've been in love with you forever and if this means I lose, then I'm fine with it. Because it's not really losing is it?"

It was a declaration of love. Something she only read about in her books, something she never expected to happen to her ever, especially not from her best friend.

"No it's not." She responded sweetly, her eyes tearing up. "I love you too, you idiot." Her arms wrapping around his neck. His head bent forward and he placed chaste kisses to her lips, squeezing her hips.

"Hey…" He pulled back and hoisted her up against the wall. "I'm your boyfriend now then right?"

"I think you have been for the past week." He smiled at her and plunged his tongue deep into her mouth yet again.

His tongue dragged against her nipple while his fingers tortured the other. He had one hand lower at her sex, his thumb pushing against her clit. She continued to scream his name, despite her voice going, hours beforehand. He plunged a middle finger into her entrance, her sex squeezing him and craving for more. He circled his finger deep inside of her, pressing into a spot that made her cry out in pleasure.

He added another finger inside of her and pumped her, his tongue lapping up her nipples, taking turn on each bud. He slid his fingers in and out of her, rubbing her walls with an expert touch that only he knew and he would ever know. Something he had decided after the first time she allowed him to touch her.

His fangs piecing her nipple, drawing some sort of blood. He lapped up the crimson copper and dragged it over her areola, the woman thrusting her body into him.

She cried out for him, pleading with him to take her, to ravish her.

Natsu would be more than obliged to. He pulled his fingers from her seeping hole and grabbed his saliva drenched cock. Just the memory of her mouth engulfing him, her tongue dancing against his cock. The way her tongue pressed every delicate vein, memorizing the most sensitive parts of his shaft. The way she would deep throat over and over again to the point of gagging, the sound of her gagging on his cock still played in his head. Or the way she looked up at him with those big browns of hers. When she pulled back and claimed that she 'enjoyed it' but wanted to be 'mouth fucked' and how he almost came when she said 'fuck.' Dragging the saliva up to the tip of his cock brought that very recent memory back and almost made him cum a third time that night. But he held it in, his seed need to spill inside of her deepest parts before the night was over.

"Natsu-" Her whine broke when he plunged his cock into her tight hole. "Fuck" She hissed, her lover above her groaning. He grabbed one leg and lifted it over his shoulder, gaining a deeper access to her. Natsu then began his steady rhythm inside of her. He rocked his body back and forth, pushing his cock rubbing against her walls. Each thrust was slow and steady, long and smooth. He would hit her spot, hold it there and then pull out. He'd leave it out barely and slam back into her. Lucy rolled her hips against him to meet his thrusts, her sex tightening up around him. Her walls pulled his cock deeper into her body, pressing into her womb.

Natsu leaned forwards and slid his tongue back in his girlfriend's mouth, keeping their mouths attached as he thrust deep into her core, trying to get her to that high that he had been accustomed to.

He filled her up and pressed into her womb as a gush of fluid spilled onto his throbbing member. Her cries muffled by his mouth still attached to hers. He sped up, anxious for his own release. "Lucy…" He moaned against her mouth, breaking the kiss. "I lo-love you." He panted, spilling his seed deep inside of her.

He continued to rock, riding out his orgasm, while she sat in the bliss of hers. His mouth pulled from hers as he felt the last bit of his cock empty into her. He pulled out and collapse on top of her, his head buried into her neck. "You're starting to smell more and more like me." He said with that goofy grin of his.

"That's alarming." She laughed leaning upward a bit. "I think I need to shower that off." She said pushing him away, teasing a bit.

"And I guess I'll have to make sure my scent sticks."

*The next chapter will be filled with smut. Nalu smut. And then there will be light shed on the gruvia fight and other gruvia stuff and then an intro to a small little gajevy tangent. Just because right now for nalu's story everyone else's relationship sort of plays a big role in how everything goes for them since the relationship is still a secret.
