I knew he was playing hard to get! It was obvious that Natsu was growing interestel in me, the question was: why did I even care? I mean, he's my nakama, and even if he had just gotten good looking, he was still the good old Natsu, dense and all.
However, he said that he would take me to bed. I was still tipsy, and Natsu was still carrying me... Oh my Gosh, did I freak out... Me, Natsu, and a bed.. Even if we had slept together several times (just sleep, nothing more), it was still weird to feel anticipation. My body was relaxed, I think because of the alcohol, and Natsu's neck was just beneath my nose... I could smell him (wood and smoke) even as dizzy as I was... It was nice. I guess that night I would get a lot of that scent.
He then opened the door of a room and left me on the bed. He didn't look nervous, and I thought that maybe this wasn't the first time he was doing this. He then sat in the opposite side in the bed, got into the covers and looked at me.
"Goodnight, Luce! You should get some sleep, you'll have an awful hangover in the morning."
What? But... Huh?
"Natsu..." I said, hugging him tightly, bringing his body closer to mine. He looked at me, a look in his eyes I had never seen. He was undecissive.
She was crossing the line. I mean, I've slept in her bed before but there was no physical contact (specially like this). Her body was tangled to mine, and she said my name softly. She was my nakama, my drunk nakama, but I couldn't deny that I was a man even if they insist that I'm more of a boy.
I'm not good with feelings, so I didn't quite get how I felt. It was awkward, and I wast starting to breathe heavily. Lucy's face turned as pink as my hair, her brown eyes wide open. She refused to let go of me, and before I could decide on what to do, my arms were already holding her waist, pulling her closer to me.
Natsu responded to my hug, wrapping me in the heat of his arms. It felt funny, though. Usually I wouldn't let that kind of things happen, but that night I was looking for it, looking forward to it. It didn't even cross my mind again the fact that we were fellow guild members and nakamas, letting myself get lost in his embrace. I looked at his eyes again, staring into those gentle black orbs. I moved slowly forward, not wanting that moment to get away that fast. Never losing the connection between our eyes, I let my lips brush into his ever so slightly, before I felt myself pulled in a passionate kiss.
When our lips met I just lost it. I didn't understand feelings and I had always been okay with that, so it took me by surprise when my instincts took over. I was eager with the sensation it gave me, the electric shock almost as strong as when I had eaten Laxus's lightning, my tongue exploring Lucy's mouth with determination, as if I knew what I was doing, feeling first her reluctance and then her reaction. I had never felt so alive, and then it clicked: she was the reason why I felt that way. I didn't think of myself as a romantic, but I knew along the way that I wouldn't have reacted this way if it weren't Lucy's lips the ones colliding with mine, more violent every passing second. My hands were moving as if they had will on their own, grabbing Lucy's blond hair, cupping her face, holding her waist... Her hands ran through my hair, holding it tightly every now and then, as one of her hands grabbed my neck, making every hair in my body stick out.
She was the one who broke the kiss, needy of air, but my lips didn't want to leave Lucy. Savouring her milky skin, I made my way to her neck, kissing and sucking. Now I couldn't even notice the smell of liquor, I was too drunk myself with the scent of Lucy, intoxicating me beyond salvation.
And then I stopped. I couldn't believe my eyes: she had untied her yucata.
