Chapter 3

Natsu

Natsu had been waiting for Lucy to get out of the bathroom for around 15 minutes. He was curious about what she was doing in there, however he was also curious as to how long he was going to be without food. He was starving. And 15 minutes seemed like a long time to go without food; he knew his patience wasn't going to hold up any longer. So Natsu did what he did best, go overboard.

Using his foot, Natsu busted down the bathroom door. He was about to tell Lucy he was going to raid her fridge if they didn't get this date night started. As soon as he stepped in and saw Lucy, all his words escaped him. Lucy was wearing nothing but a white T-shirt. The T-shirt came to down to her thighs , and it highlighted every curve on her body. Her beautiful pony tail wasn't present; instead her golden hair was flowing down her back, shimmering from her shower. For the first time Natsu forgot all about his unending hunger, and desire spread through him. If he wasn't careful something might poke out. Quickly Natsu turned around to adjust himself and his mindset.

"Natsu what the hell," Lucy yelled, "why did you break my door. My land lady is going to kill me. I just paid my rent. "

" I'm sorry Luce," Natsu said sweetly trying to avoid looking at her; plus he wanted to be on guard for a Lucy Kick. But he was determined to Change the subject. " clearly you forgot that I was even here," Natsu said pouting, " I was under the impression that it was date night. If not I'm sure Happy and I could go fishing."

Natsu was bluffing. There was no way he was leaving. His body wouldn't allow him. It was bad enough that he was fanatzing about Lucy in his dreams, but the way she was looking right now was making Natsu downright hungry. They hadn't crossed that line yet, but Natsu knew that they couldn't avoid their pent up feelings. After all Natsu was trying his best to be patient, and he knew Lucy was worth the wait.

"I'm sorry Natsu," Lucy replied bringing Natsu back to reality, " I know it's date night. I was thinking we should go out to eat. However all my clothes are dirty. So I was going to suggest that I cook us dinner instead. Is that alright?"

"Of course, I'm starving, " Natsu said.

Natsu watched Lucy bounce happily around the kitchen. She was dancing and humming along to a song that was blasted on the radio. Natsu wasn't aware of the song, but it was catchy. And at times he would catch himself dancing along. What was really catching his eye was Lucy's swaying hips. He knew Lucy was a good dancer, but her dancing looked better in that white T-shirt.

While Lucy was cooking dinner, Natsu set the living room table. Using his magic abilities, Natsu lit candles around the room to give it an intimate setting . Natsu wasn't sure if he could focus on eating; it would be a hassle to waste a good meal, but he promised himself that he would be on his best behavior. Soon there was a delicious aroma that filled the modest size apartment. Natsu was partially drooling, at this point. He was getting excited; he couldn't wait to eat.

Dinner was done shortly after that. They sat down together to enjoy the meal that Lucy prepared. It was beyond delicious. Natsu couldn't even describe the goodness that he had stuffed down his face. Lucy was an amazing cook: it was just another thing Natsu loved about her. It was soo good that Natsu had seconds and thirds. He even made Lucy laugh when he had almost spilled half of his plate on his pants; somehow he didn't, but the struggle was real. By the end of dinner, they were both sitting on the coach, full and satisfied.

" Lucy that was amazing," Natsu said while rubbing his belly, " I gotta take some home to Happy."

" already on it, " Lucy replied laughing, "the Tupperware is in the fridge."

" ha ha Luce you are awesome."

" I'm glad you enjoyed it, " Lucy said with a smile, while she cleared the dishes.

Natsu waited patiently as Lucy cleaned the dishes. He even helped her put them away and clean the kitchen. He thought it was the least he could do, and it was the best way to distract him from what he had really been thinking about.

Natsu loved spending time with Lucy. It just felt right, but he was still a man. He wanted to physically attach himself on Lucy. However he was trying his best to be a gentleman. But with Lucy dressed like that it was really hard for him to think straight. He didn't know how Lucy felt about it. He wasn't always great with things like this, so he didn't know how to ask her. After they got done cleaning, they had decided to watch a movie; they settled on the coach to watch.

That was it. Natsu couldn't take it anymore. He wanted Lucy, badly. He lunged himself on Lucy, knocking them both to the floor. Natsu claimed Lucy's lips with his own. Images of Lucy's swaying hips came back to his mind. He wanted to rip off her T-shirt, but he didn't want to cross that line until they were both ready .

With that in mind, Natsu paused for a moment to determine Lucy's reaction. She hadn't protested or threw him off of her, but she didn't make a sound. Natsu was worried that she was upset.

He was about to get off of Lucy when he heard, " please don't.. I want to do this. I want to do this with you." Lucy hammered nervously.

"Are you sure? I don't want to pressure you."

"I'm ready Natsu."

Lucy

Lucy couldn't believe this was finally happening. She was excited and nervous, but she was more than ready. She wanted Natsu to know how much she desired and loved him; for her those two things go hand in hand. And Natsu had been nothing but kind and patient with her need to wait for the right moment. Lucy had realized that planning this stuff out was hard and bound to fail. In fact Lucy was glad that Natsu made the first move; otherwise, she wasn't sure she would had the guts to do it on her own.

Natsu's lips were soft, but they were moving urgently against hers. Lucy was kissing him back, matching him in breath to breath and movement to movement. She wanted Natsu to feel everythimg she couldnt say. Lucy wanted nothing more than the ability to fulfill Natsu's need. She was engulfed in Natsu's passion and love. Although Natsu was being urgent with his kiss, he was still being careful. Lucy didn't want careful.

" Natsu, please take this off of me, " Lucy said tugging her T-shirt, " I want this. I know you won't hurt me. I want my first time to be with the man I love, you Natsu."

Lucy could feel the fabric uncling from her body. Within seconds, Lucy was completely exposed in front of the man she loved. She could feel her face turn red, because Natsu was oddly quiet, and he stopped touching her. Fearing rejection, Lucy's gut wrenching instinct was to cover herself with her hands. However Lucy wanted to be brave.

Suddenly Lucy could feel Natsu caressing her. His hands were warm and inviting. Lucy was no longer scared. Each time he touched her, Lucy got more confident and comfortable; she knew she could trust Natsu. And she wanted to do this; it was just another thing that she knew that they could handle together.

Lucy used her hands to reach out for Natsu. She pulled him closer to her; she left no distance between them. All she wanted was to share in his warmth. Her hands were becoming bolder. She traced all the contours of Natsu chest, while she kissed his neck. Under her hands she could feel Natsu's heart beating faster. She realized it wasn't rejection , it was excitement, and Natsu need to protect her.

" Lucy you are so beautiful, " Natsu said between kisses, " there is no one I love more."

Natsu

Natsu woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking; it smelled like eggs and bacon. After last night Natsu was famished. Natsu felt like last night was a dream. A great, warm dream that he didn't want to end. Natsu woke up refreshed; it was as if he was floating on cloud nine.

He would never forget the way he felt when a Lucy touched him. Her hands were cool to his usual hot skin. He remembered every plane and curve on Lucy body. He knew she was nervous, but they took their time. That only made the night more enjoyable for him. Natsu liked the blush that crept up whenever he touched Lucy. And when their bodies joined together, it was as if they were made for each other; they fit perfectly together. But what mattered the most was the expression on Lucy's face. Natsu saw the smile that she made and heard her say 'I love you'.

It was a night full of love, passion, and trust . Natsu was beyond honored that Lucy gave herself to him. For Natsu, it was one if the most precious gifts he had ever received. It confirmed how much love was between them. It confirmed how much Natsu didn't want to lose her. Lucy had become one of the best things that ever happened to him. There was no way he was letting her go.
