Chapter Five: Fingers

Natsu and Lucy burst into their hotel room in a flash. She pulled him to the bed, then viciously began stripping him. Before he knew it he was in nothing but his boxers, but even that didn't last long because she got down on her knees and yanked them off.

As Natsu lifted his legs to stumble out of his underwear, Lucy took his half-erect cock and popped the head in her mouth. Natsu tipped his head back, moaning at the feeling of her hot wet tongue sliding over the head. She dipped the end of her tongue into the slit, then ran it down the large vein underneath.

The dragon slayer thought he was about to receive another blowjob, but blinked in surprise when he felt her mouth pull away. Before he could ask what she was doing, he saw her getting out of her dress.

Her shoes came off, one flying under the bed while the other stayed beside her. She struggled for a second with her zipper, but eventually got it, letting the material loosen around her as she unzipped her dress.

Natsu watched as she revealed more and more skin with every movement. She wasn't wearing a bra with her dress, and her panties were currently in the pocket of his pants that were now on the floor.

With both of them naked, she made her move. Lucy grabbed his hips, leading him over to the bed. She sat on it, spreading her legs to drag Natsu closer. His fully erect cock bumped against her stomach before she scooted back on the bed.

The dragon slayer grinned, wondering if they were going straight to sex. However, the little minx on the bed had other plans. She grabbed his scarf that had fallen on the edge of the bed, then handed it to him. "Tie me up."

It was a simple command, but it was enough to make his cock leap. It bobbed just like his Adam's apple did when he swallowed. "O-okay..."

He grabbed the scarf, then grinned when she held out her wrists for him. She wanted this, so he was going to give it to her. Natsu wrapped the scarf around her wrists a few times, then tied it with a simple knot. They both knew she could slip out of the scaly material easily, but it was nice to fantasize about her being trapped for a night.

"I'll be right back," Natsu said, quickly leaving to go to the bathroom. He grabbed a small towel, getting it wet with warm water. He wrung it out until it was merely damp. He already knew how dirty he wanted to get with Lucy now since she was tied up and at his mercy.

He came back, setting the towel to the side before he looked down at his wife. She had gotten in a more comfortable position with her head resting on a pillow and her arms lifted over her head. Lucy gave a dangerous smirk that made his pulse race.

"You're so sexy," he commented, getting on the bed and shuffling over to her on his knees. "So beautiful," his warm hand touched her stomach, running it up until he bumped against the bottom of her left breast, then back down until he felt the soft blonde pubic hair over her core.

She kept it trimmed, much to the dragon slayer's satisfaction. He didn't want to see it completely gone. He liked seeing a small patch of golden curls above her pussy.

"You're pretty sexy yourself," Lucy said, eyes raking over her husband's body. Everything about him screamed sexy. His arms were muscular but not bulky, his chest was firm, his abs still looked like gods sculpted them, and even his legs were nice and toned. Not to mention the nice cock sprouting from his pink wiry curls.

Natsu's cock was thick, long, and for some reason it always made Lucy's mouth water when fully erect. Right then she had to press her thighs together to alleviate some of the pulsing coming from her womanhood.

Natsu could smell Lucy's arousal. It mixed into the air, filling his nose. He scooted to her side, knees resting by her waist. His hand went lower, fingers brushing over her clit. She mewled at the touch, but it vanished as soon as his fingers did. He ran his hand up her body again, loving every inch of flesh on her.

The dragon slayer's hand cupped her left breast, giving it a gentle squeeze that he knew would get Lucy antsy. He really did enjoy teasing her. She squirmed, a small frown on her face. "Natsu, please!"

He chuckled, bringing his hand up to caress her cheek. "Do you want to play?"

"Yes!"

"Good," Natsu moved his hand, shoving two fingers into her mouth. "Let's play!"

It took Lucy less than a second to get over the initial shock. She went to work, sucking on his fingers hard, then lapping them with her tongue to get them nice and wet. He thrust them into her mouth, fucking her face with his fingers. It was somewhat of a weakness of his, but he stayed strong tonight. This was just the warm up after all.

Natsu tried to lean in, but he realized he was at an awkward angle. He removed his fingers from her mouth despite her protests. The two wet fingers glided down her body, leaving behind a trail of saliva on its way to her core.

The dragon slayer slipped the two fingers into her pussy, almost shocked to feel how wet she already was. He realized he might have not needed to have her suck on his fingers anyway, but that thought wasn't enough to stop him from pushing two fingers from his left hand into her mouth.

Lucy started sucking on the new fingers, not minding the replacement now that her core was being played with. He couldn't go as deep as she wanted him to go at that angle, but it was enough to satisfy her for now.

Natsu bent over, lips wrapping around her clit to tease the sensitive spot. Lucy immediately started writhing under him, moans slipping past her lips sporadically as he licked her without mercy. She sucked his fingers hard, teeth scrapping over his digits as she tried to calm herself down. It wasn't working, because Natsu wouldn't stop playing with her.

"Naaattsuuu," she whined, but she wasn't sure what for.

The dragon slayer removed the fingers from her pussy, then moved his mouth away from her clit to smell her arousal. It was much stronger now, more potent. He glanced over to his wife's face, a devilish smirk playing on his lips. "Do you want to be my dirty girl, Luce?"

The blonde gulped, wondering what he meant by that. However, she didn't think about it because she just wanted the pleasure to return. Her words were a little muffled from his fingers in her mouth, but he still understood her. "Yes! I'll be your dirty girl! Just please touch me!"

"As you wish," Natsu removed his fingers from her mouth, then went to sit between her legs. He spread them more by pushing her thighs apart, then leaned in. His tongue flicked over her clit once, just enough to drag a whimper from her.

His right hand that was still covered in her wetness went down, slipping past her core to go lower. Lucy's eyes widened, realizing now what he meant by dirty girl. Natsu gave her another glance, smiling when she nodded her head.

He pressed his fingers against her asshole, rubbing over the puckered star to get it wet. He started with one finger first, pressing the pad of it into her body. Lucy relaxed herself, knowing it would hurt worse if she tensed.

He worked it in slowly, stopping a few times when he felt her tighten around him. The dragon slayer leaned in, capturing her bundle of nerves with his lips to tease her. It helped draw her attention away from the finger entering her asshole.

The second finger took a little longer to get in. He spit at the bottom of her pussy, watching as it slipped downwards until it landed on his fingers. He eased the second one in, stretching Lucy just enough to pleasure her.

When both fingers were fully in, he began thrusting. Lucy moaned as he finger-fucked her ass while licking her clit. The fingers that were just in Lucy's mouth came in to enter her pussy. The celestial wizard moaned at the feeling of four fingers in her body at once.

"Oh god, that's r-r-really good," she closed her eyes, gritting her teeth from the pleasure that came from being stretched.

Natsu hummed against her nub, causing her to shiver. Her thighs clamped around his head, keeping him in place. It was a little unfortunate because Natsu was about to pull away to admire how she looked just then, but he decided she deserved the pleasure for putting up with his dirty kinks.

"Ah, ahhhh!" Lucy threw her head back, her voice cracking as she moaned, "there! Yes! Oh yes, Natsu!"

The blonde's chest tinted red, along with her neck and cheeks. She let out a silent cry when Natsu sucked roughly on her clit. Her body tried to move away and get closer at the same time. She never understood why she had that kind of reaction. All she knew was that she loved the feeling of him touching her in any way possible.

"That's it Luce," the dragon slayer said when he pulled away from her swollen bundle of nerves. He took a good look at his wife, licking his lips from the erotic sight before him. Natsu smirked as he moaned, "I want you to cum all over my fingers, then I'm going to make you taste yourself as I fuck you deep into the mattress."

He felt Lucy's inner walls clamp around his fingers from his dirty talk. "Yes!"

"You'll taste how naughty you've been," Natsu growled before his tongue came out to tease her clit once again.

Lucy whimpered, arching her back to get closer to him. "Please! Sh-show me how naugh-Ahhhh! Naaatssuu!" She screamed, her body unleashing a powerful orgasm that caused her to tremble.

The dragon slayer lifted his head, relishing the sight of his wife convulsing on the bed. Lucy came on his fingers and hands, coating his skin with her arousal. The air around her smelled like pure heaven, making the pink haired man's mouth water more.

Natsu bent down, pulling all four fingers from her body before running his flat tongue over her core. He felt it spasm from his touches, but she didn't tell him to stop. His mouth overlapped her opening, collecting as much of her as he could with his tongue. She tasted wonderful. He could feel himself getting overwhelmed by the taste alone.

Making sure to keep the two fingers that were previously in her ass away from her skin, Natsu's hands ran up her sides. He smirked when he felt Lucy jolt when he touched a ticklish spot. He loved being this close to her because he knew he was the only one to do it, and that she trusted him this much. He was the only man she'd been with or would ever be with.

His fingers spread her lower lips, giving him better access to sample her core. Lucy arched her back, breath becoming ragged as he went to work on her again. There would be no breaks given tonight.

Keeping his mouth on Lucy's pussy, he looked up at her. Her head tossed from side to side, her wrists still tied from his scarf. She moaned, "Naaatssuu! Yes! Please give me more!" He loved hearing her beg for it. It empowered him in a way magic couldn't. She made him feel like a true dragon!

"Fuck Luce, you taste so fucking good, every single time!"

Natsu lifted up, quickly grabbing the damp towel at the edge of the bed to wipe the fingers that had been in her ass. He didn't clean off his left hand, wanting to save that for later since they were coated in Lucy's arousal.

The dragon slayer climbed on top of his wife's body, wasting no time to untie his scarf from her wrists. Once free, the blonde wrapped her arms and legs around her husband. Her head nuzzled against the crook of his neck before she started kissing him.

Her mouth opened, leaving wet kisses along his neck and shoulders. "That felt so good, Natsu." She kissed his jawline, "you make me feel amazing." Her mouth ventured to his ear before her lips lightly sucked on his earlobe, drawing out a soft moan from the dragon slayer. "I love you."

Natsu moved to kiss her lips, savoring the taste of his mate. "I. Love. You. Too." He kissed her between every word, smiling against her lips when he felt her hands grab at his body. "Can I fuck you now?"

Lucy nodded, reaching down to grab his twitching cock. She guided it to her wet opening, gasping when he rammed himself in her with no warning. "Ooohh!" Lucy's nails scratched at his back, scoring the flesh with red lines. "Fuck!"

Natsu rested his head against the pillow, both arms wrapped tightly around her as he fucked her fast and hard. He kept true to his words, pushing her further into the mattress with every thrust. He heard the wet sounds of his cock entering her gushing pussy. It only caused him to go harder.

"Y-y-y-yes!" Lucy's moans came out broken as she felt his thick cock spread her wide. She let out a strangled whimper when he hit her sweet spot.

The dragon slayer's left hand came loose, then trailed over her skin until he reached her face. His head was still against the pillow, so he had to feel around until he found her mouth. Once he felt her lips part, he shoved his fingers into her mouth, making her taste her arousal.

The blonde's tongue flicked over Natsu's fingers, picking up every trace she could find of her juices. Natsu growled when he felt her nip his fingers, thrusting his cock in harder to reward her. Her heels dug into his ass cheeks, trying to bring him closer to her.

The dragon slayer roared before pulling out of her completely. Before Lucy could even attempt to complain about the empty feeling he left her with, he flipped them until she was on all fours and he was positioned behind her.

Natsu entered her again, this time getting deep into the pussy he loved so much. His hands grabbed her hips, ramming into her nice and hard. She dipped her upper body down, teeth biting the pillow as she muffled her moans.

The dragon slayer loved this position since it gave him a nice view of her perfect ass. He saw that Lucy was holding her sounds back, but that just wouldn't do. He shoved the thumb of his right hand into his mouth, getting it wet before bringing it down to her behind.

Natsu rubbed his thumb over her asshole a few times before pressing inwards. She released her bite on the pillow, letting out a guttural moan at the feeling of his cock and thumb in her body. Lucy could hear her heartbeat in her ears, blood roaring almost as loud as her voice when she screamed, "NATSUUUU!"

The dragon slayer grunted, mind foggy with pleasure. "God Lucy! Can I fuck your ass? Please!"

Lucy didn't hesitate. "Yes! Just hurry. I'm almost there!"

Natsu's head spun as he pulled out of his wife's dripping pussy. He looked down, seeing the way his cock shined from her wetness. Grabbing himself, he rubbed the tip of his cock against her asshole. He had stretched her a little during their foreplay, but he didn't know if it was enough to make this easy on her. There was only one way to find out, so he slowly pushed himself against her, immediately feeling resistance as he tried to penetrate the tight passage.

The dragon slayer pulled back, not thinking twice before diving down to lick her pussy. Getting that amazing taste in his mouth, he moved up, tongue flicking over her twitching asshole before he spit on her entrance.

He needed her nice and wet for this. The more lubricated the better. He'd heard of stories where people went in dry, but he would never do that to Lucy. When it came to anal, he wanted her to feel nothing but pleasure.

Lucy blushed when she felt his hot saliva touch her anus. She felt self-conscious about that particular area, but she trusted Natsu not to make fun of her. She knew he would take care of her. He licked at her hole again, smearing in his spit.

Natsu slipped two fingers from his left hand back into her pussy, getting them soaked before pulling out to try on her ass. Since she took two earlier, he started with two. As he pushed his way in, he felt a lot less resistance than when he tried to use his cock. They didn't do anal very often, so he always had to warm her up before hand. This wasn't something they could just do without prepping.

The dragon slayer's cock throbbed painfully as he fingered her ass. He spread his fingers inside her, loosening her up for what was to come. Natsu brought his hand up to his mouth, spitting over a third finger before bringing it back down to join the others.

Lucy let out a grunt when she felt him press in three fingers. She knew it was necessary for this type of sex, but it always made her feel weird. She knew she should probably be grossed out, but for some reason when Natsu stretched her ass like that she got turned on in a way that scared her.

Lucy jutted her ass out, face falling against the bed as her hands went to knead her breasts. "More!" She demanded, moaning when he increased his speed. She felt a sharp pain on her ass cheek, knowing the familiar piercing feeling of Natsu biting her skin. Her fingers pinched and pulled at her nipples, wanton gasps and whimpers escaping her as she shamelessly called out his name.

"Natsu! I'm ready! Fuck my ass!"

Natsu didn't need to be told twice.

He pulled his fingers out slowly, not wanting to hurt her in the process. He used the wet wash cloth on the edge of the bed to clean his fingers as quickly as he could. He knew they would both need to properly clean up after this, so right then he just went for 'good enough'.

Natsu tossed the small towel to the floor before getting in position. He noticed that his cock was drying up, so he spit into his hand twice and rubbed his shaft with the fingers that fucked Lucy's ass. He let out a soft moan before deciding that he was wet enough.

Once again, he guided his cock to her asshole, this time more confident that she was ready for him. He pressed, groaning when her ring of muscles gave way to let him in. The tip of his dick entered her body, instantly feeling the tightness and heat that only came from her dark passage. Fucking Lucy's ass was a luxury he always took pleasure in.

As much as he wanted to fuck her senseless, he slowly eased in. It wasn't a race, wanting both of them to enjoy this. Besides, the more she enjoyed it, the better the chances became of her agreeing to it again in the future.

Natsu was three inches in when he felt Lucy's ass sucking him in. The feeling was incredible! He had to clench his teeth just to suppress the fire dragon's roar that wanted to come out of him. Sweat trickled down his body as he tried to calm the heat blazing within him. He huffed, out of breath but still pushing. His cock was squeezed as he continued to enter her tightest hole.

Lucy really let go of her shame when she moaned loudly as he pushed his way into her. She felt every inch of his hot cock splitting her open. He was careful, making sure it didn't hurt as he penetrated her. Her insides burned deliciously from the slow impact.

She turned her face to the side, locking eyes with Natsu. He let out a sharp breath when he saw the intense gaze in her eyes. He wanted her so badly, so he took her. Two more inches slid in faster than before, causing Lucy's back to bow. She panted, not caring that her body had begun to sweat more. It was exhilarating having Natsu desire her this much.

"Fuck," Natsu grunted when he was almost all the way in her. He still had another inch or two to go, but it didn't feel like her body was ready to take it yet. He'd have to ease her into it. He waited there, letting her get adjusted to the newest intrusion before moving.

Lucy breathed through the feeling of being spread wide. There was some minor discomfort, but no pain. She was thankful to have Natsu as her lover. As wild as he was, he could sure hold back when needed. She thanked him with a grunt when he pulled a little out, only to push in further.

Lucy bit her bottom lip, her hands balling into fists. She let out a cry when he thrust into her again, whimpering when he stopped. "Natsu, please!" She wanted him to fuck her hard, but he wouldn't do it. Instead he tortured her with slow, even thrusts.

The celestial wizard surged back, trying to quicken the pace. Natsu only accommodated, moving with her so the pace stayed the same. The broken whimpers that spilled from her lips made him drunk on lust.

"You sound great, Luce," Natsu moaned. He threw his head back, staying still as Lucy fucked her ass on his cock. "Feel... fucking great too!" His green eyes slammed shut, his own breath coming out scattered as she took him fast.

"Damn," the dragon slayer groaned when he felt his cock slide deeper into her ass. It was scorching inside, sucking him in that tight passage. He loved anal! It was dirty, sexy, and so naughty! The way Lucy's arousal increased always got to him, making him crave more.

"Fuck!" He grabbed her hips, stilling her. She whimpered once before a loud gasp escaped her parted lips. Natsu rammed into her hard, hunching over her as his mind went blank for a moment.

One hand braced himself on the bed while the other came under her to grab at one of her breasts. They were smashed into the bed due to Lucy's angle, but he still managed to find a nipple to tease as his cock pulled out, then plunged back into her needy body.

"Yes!" Lucy mewled, a smile on her face and red blush coating her cheeks. She was in heaven as he fucked her. "Natsu! Please!"

He had no idea what she was begging for but he didn't have the mind to ask. He was lost in his own actions, no room for thinking. His cock slid into her body, feeling those tight walls squeeze him as he fucked her. When Lucy let out a grunt, he leaned back, straightening up to look down at his wife.

His cock disappeared into her ass, only to reappear a split second later. His lips curved upwards as a lewd thought entered his mind. His tongue swished around his mouth, getting it prepared.

Natsu's mouth was dry from panting, but he still managed to create some saliva to spit onto his cock. However, when he went to do the deed, he missed. Aiming spit while fucking Lucy's ass was a challenge that he wasn't ready for. He watched as his spit dripped down her lower back, sliding over her soft skin to land where their bodies joined. He groaned, it was erotic to watch!

Lucy surged back to meet his thrusts, taking in all of his thick cock. Her mouth hung open, saliva and screams slipping past her lips. "Yes! AHHH fucking yes! Come on Natsu! Pound me! Pound me into the mattress!"

Natsu obliged, gripping her hips tighter as he rammed his cock into her with the tenacity of a dragon. "Damn!" He felt his body tense up. He was close, but mentally he wasn't ready yet. He still had to get Lucy to come for him. Her coming from anal was one of his most favorite things in the world, and he intended on making that happen tonight.

He fucked her ass as hard as he could, driving into her body as she wailed for more. He laughed, though it sounded strained. "Have you been a bad girl, Luce?"

The blonde nodded her head, screaming, "yes! Yes I've been bad!"

"I see," he thrust in her, panting from the feeling of being squeezed in. Even after fucking her with his huge cock, she was still tight. He blinked through the sensation as he asked in a salacious voice, "do you want to be punished?"

Any other time Lucy would tell Natsu he was hanging out with Virgo too much, but she wasn't thinking about her spirit as she begged, "yes! Please! Punish me Natsu! Punish your bad girl! I need it! I need you to punish me! Fuck my ass and punish me!" She didn't even realize she was saying the word 'punish' too much.

Natsu groaned from her words. He knew Lucy could talk dirty, but damn! "If... that's what you wish," one of his eyes was shut as he tried to regain control. Lucy's crude begging almost made him spill his seed right there, but he held out. It was already great, but he wanted to make it incredible.

He lifted up his right hand, eyes zeroing in on his prize. With a fast strike, he slapped her ass. The reward was instant.

"Nngghhh!" Natsu nearly saw stars as Lucy's ass clamped around his cock. "Feels so good! Wrapped around! My cock!" He slapped her ass again, spurring on another round of squeezing.

"More!" Lucy screamed, jutting her ass out as far as she could. Her fingers played with her nipples, pinching and twisting them to the point that they turned red. She wouldn't be surprised if they bruised from the rough play. When Natsu hesitated to slap her again, she said in a demanding tone, "damn it, Natsu! I said more! Spank me now!"

The sound of a hand smacking an ass cut through her moans. He hit her harder this time, causing her throat to clench up and her brain to stop for a second. Natsu's eyes went wide. He was debating whether or not to spank her again. He had been staring at the red spots on her ass, wondering if she would be alright, but then she commanded him to do it again, so he did.

"I'm sorry," he stopped thrusting into her, holding himself in her body as he waited for her to say something. "Did I hurt you?"

"Yes!" She moaned, hips coming back to try to get some friction. "It felt amazing! Please, don't stop!"

Natsu clenched his teeth. He didn't know if he should continue, but who was he to deny Lucy what she said she wanted? Instead of hitting the same ass cheek, he slapped the other one, not as hard this time because there was already a bruise showing up where he bit her. He knew Lucy wanted more... wanted to test their limits, but he did not want to truly hurt her.

Lucy must have sensed his hesitation, because she mewled, "yes! Just like that!"

He felt the corners of his lips pull up. "God you're beautiful." He thrust in deeper, holding himself there as he spanked her again. The way she tightened up on him caused his vision to blur for a moment. It felt incredible.

"Luce, fuck! I-I don't think I can," he grunted, sweat dripping down his body. "I'm not gonna last," he rammed in again, panting as he felt his cock throb.

He hunched over her again, chest pressed against her back as he used his right hand to keep him up. His left hand came under her, searching for her sensitive button. When Lucy gasped he knew he found it.

Natsu's fingers rubbed back and forth over her clit, not letting up as he fucked her ass again, this time slowly. "Luce," his voice came out rough. His throat was dry, his vision blurry. He could barely think past the overwhelming pleasure building up. He would release soon, but he couldn't until Lucy did first.

The dragon slayer warmed up his cock, his lips kissing at her sweaty skin, but not biting. "So amazing," he praised, slamming into her again. She arched her back, wailing from the feeling of her ass being filled up by his cock.

Her fingers worked on her nipples while he took care of her bundle of nerves. She knew she was on the verge of a climax, so she let herself go. "Naaaghh, Naatt- Oh fuck! Na, Natsuuu!" Her body almost fell when her orgasm washed over her. Natsu had to grab onto her to keep her from crumbling on the bed.

As Lucy went through her release, he let go too. "Nnngghhh, Fuck!" Natsu growled, feeling his cum spurt into her ass. It was tighter than her pussy, with not a lot of room for his sperm. He could feel it pushing back against him, satisfying the dirtier and kinkier parts of his mind.

Lucy trembled in his arm, her body spasming from the aftershock. Natsu breathed in heavily, trying to smell her orgasm and take in more oxygen. He was worn out, and needed a shower now.

Slowly, he pulled himself out of Lucy. She let out a whimper, but otherwise was fine with him retreating. Some of his cum leaked out of her hole when his tip left her body. He swore it was one of the sexiest things he'd ever seen.

With Natsu out, he carefully guided her to lay down, only to pick her back up into his arms. He didn't say anything, not wanting to embarrass her over what was about to happen. The dragon slayer went to the bathroom, glad the door was opened already, then placed Lucy on the toilet. Neither said anything as he turned on the faucet and closed the door, leaving her there alone.

After a minute or so, Natsu heard the toilet flush, followed by the shower starting up. That was his cue to join. He stepped into the bathroom, smelling the overwhelming scent of the deodorant lacrima. He almost chuckled, but decided not to for her sake.

There sex was about being judgement-free. It also meant they wouldn't purposely try to embarrass each other afterwards. During was fine, as long as it was meant for teasing and not meant to cause emotional harm. The more extreme sex they had required them to be open-minded and patient.

Natsu slipped into the shower just as Lucy was coming out. They shared blushes and smiles, but still said nothing. The dragon slayer started with his cock first, lathering up his hand to wash his genitals. After they were nice and clean, he washed the rest of him.

When he emerged from the shower he saw that Lucy was already in the other room. He guessed she changed, maybe even went to sleep. He knew how exhausting anal sex was for her. He certainly felt tired too.

Natsu used his fire to dry off in an instant, silently mocking the towels folded on the shelves. He threw on a pair of boxers, knowing they weren't going anywhere else tonight. He could dress for comfort.

He walked into the main room, seeing Lucy sitting on the bed. She was smiling at her husband, causing him to smile too. He padded over to her, wrapping her in a hug. The angle was a little awkward, with him actually hugging her head while her cheek was pressed against his abs, but it still felt special.

"Thank you for that," Natsu said, letting one hand go to trail down her back. She wore a camisole, allowing him to see the goosebumps rise over her skin when he touched her. "You were amazing," he praised, wanting her to know just how much he appreciated her.

"You were too," she mumbled against his stomach. "Happy anniversary."

"Oh!" Natsu's eyes went wide. "Before I forget, I got you something!" He pulled away from her, a huge grin on his face. He went over to the large suitcase he brought. All his clothes were in his backpack because he didn't want to get the two bags confused. Everything in the suitcase had a specific purpose, and he wasn't ready for Lucy to see the items hiding in there just yet. 'Tomorrow,' he grinned, looking at a certain object he was sure Lucy would love.

As he grabbed a gift bag from his suitcase, he heard his wife say, "Oh, wait. Let me get your present too." He watched as she went over to her bag, pulling out a rather large box wrapped in red paper.

Natsu closed his suitcase, then walked back to the bed where Lucy was already waiting for him. She smiled, handing him the gift. "Here, open mine first!"

"Okay," Natsu set the gift bag he pulled out to the side. As much as he wanted to delicately open her present, his patience wasn't allowing it. His nails ripped at the wrapping paper, tearing it to shreds.

When the paper was removed, he gasped. "Whoa," he tapped on a clear box, shocked when runes came up. They looked just like the ones Freed used for his script magic. "What is it?" It was honestly a dumb question, but he was in a daze. Sitting in the see through box was a dancing flame. The ball of fire burned brightly, yet he didn't feel any heat coming from it.

Lucy smiled as she explained. "I got help from a few people to make this gift happen. First I had to ask Freed to put an enchantment on the box. That's how the flame is in there without oxygen."

Natsu took a second glance at the box. Sure enough, there were no holes to give the fire air. "That's pretty cool. So is it a special flame or something? Or just plain old fire? Either way this is awesome!"

The celestial wizard sat down on the bed, patting beside her for her husband to join her. "It's special." When Natsu was seated, she continued. "I contacted Flare to have her get the present."

"Flare?" Natsu's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to remember who that was. "Oh, the redhead from the Sun Village?" After Lucy nodded, he looked back down to the box in his hand. "Then... Is this?"

"Yeah. It's a piece of the eternal flame." Lucy's heart melted when she saw the excitement flicker in Natsu's eyes. "It's part of Atlas Flame."

The dragon slayer's gaze landed on his mate. "You did all this for me?"

"Like I said, I got help," she was glad he seemed to like his gift. She knew how much family meant to him, so having a piece of Atlas Flame was a treasure he would hoard for the rest of his life -if he didn't decide to eat it that is.

Natsu lifted the box, bringing it up until his nose pressed against it. "This is really cool though. Wish I could talk to him."

Lucy sighed. "I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault," he said as he stared at the flickering flame. He wanted to run his hands through it, to feel the warmth of his family. He resisted, not wanting to ruin the magic encasing the fire. He had a feeling once he opened it he wouldn't be able to just close it up like new again.

Natsu only knew Atlas Flame for a bit, but he still felt connected to the dragon. He was a friend of Igneel's, so that made him a friend of his as well. Dragons and dragon slayers needed to stick together -even if that counteracted the slayer's purpose.

"Do you like it though?" Lucy asked, cutting through his thoughts.

He gave her a toothy grin, eyes shutting as he said, "I love it!"

"That's good. I figured you could either keep it or eat it."

Natsu scoffed, but he held a teasing smile. "Eat the flames of my dead Uncle? You're pretty twisted Luce."

"Hey!" She puffed out her cheeks, face going red. "You're the one who ate his flames when he was alive!"

"True. I dunno though. I think I want to keep him around." There was a pause before he said, "besides you and Happy, he's my only other family." Igneel was gone. He found out the hard way that his adoptive father was within his body the whole time, only to be released and killed the same day.

Natsu missed Igneel with all his heart, but he knew his father died trying to fight off Acnologia. He was just trying to save everyone, save him. After seeing Igneel die, he fell into depression. Lucy was the only one to drag him out. Others tried, but she was always there to lend a listening ear, or to sit quietly with him while he dealt with the pain.

He was tempted to leave for a while. The events that happened surrounding Igneel's death made him think he wasn't strong enough, so he wanted to leave to train. However, he couldn't go through with it. When he pressed pen to paper to write Lucy a goodbye note, he stopped. He couldn't do that to his mate... To his love...

"Thank you," Natsu muttered, feeling a familiar prick behind his eyes. He refused to cry, not wanting to spoil the mood.

Lucy hugged him, knowing he was thanking her for more than just the gift. She remembered the awful time they shared after Tartaros. Natsu lose Igneel, and she lost Aquarius. They both lost people precious to them. She was just glad they were able to turn to each other for help, otherwise she didn't know how she'd make it through without feeling isolated and lonely.

"You're welcome," Lucy said in a soft voice. "We'll have to bring it to Freed every now and then to cast the spell again. It won't last forever. He said it should last for at least a few months at a time."

"That's good," Natsu nodded, knowing there were limits to every magic.

"So," Lucy started, changing the subject. "What'd you get for me?"

The dragon slayer's eyes went wide at the question. "Damn it!"

Lucy jolted away from him, her ears ringing from his outburst. "What is it? Did you forget it?" She looked at the gift bag, confused at his behavior.

"No," he huffed, steam pouring from his mouth as he burned hot. "I'm just realizing that I should've gone first! My present isn't as good." He sulked, setting the box with the flame behind him.

"It's alright," Lucy assured him, "It's not a competition."

That only made him pout more. "You're only saying that 'cause you already won."

The celestial wizard laughed, shaking her head. "Can I just see it?"

Natsu reluctantly agreed. "Okay... but don't be upset."

"I promise I won't be upset. I'm already happy because of this vacation. Anything else is just icing on the cake."

He looked in her deep brown eyes, finding no traces of deceit. He still felt bad that his present wasn't as great, but he still wanted to give it to her. He had spent a lot of time trying to find it for her.

Natsu twisted, grabbing the little gift bag and handing it to Lucy. He would have wrapped it up like she did for his gift, but he didn't have the patience. His wife took it, smiling at the pink bag that read "Happy Anniversary" on the front. Her hands slipped inside, touching something flat and thin first.

Lucy pulled out an envelope, a seal with the letter 'N' on the flap. "You got me a card?"

"Sorta..." He blushed, already feeling embarrassed over what was written. He watched as she opened the envelope, pulling out a folded up piece of paper.

Hey Lucy,

I know it's been awhile since we've written to each other, but there's some things I wanted to talk about and I wanted to write them down so you can read this later if you want too. Plus I know you've been dying to see my awesome handwriting again!

Lucy smiled already. She caught a spelling and grammar error, but she let it slide. Natsu hardly wrote to her, so this was already special.

I just wanted to talk about us. Ever since the day we first got together, I didn't think I could love you any more than I did in that moment. I was wrong. So very wrong. Every day I fall more in love with you. Your smile, your laugh, that cute face you make whenever I annoy you. I fell for it all.

Lucy resisted the urge to scrunch her face up just like what he was talking about. She knew he found it adorable, even though she couldn't figure out why.

You're so nice to me, so sweet. You challenge me, make me think more about life, and think more about myself. I love spending time with you. I love making you laugh. Of course we both already know exactly when I fell in love with you. On Sirius Island... But somewhere during our time together I started to fall deeper in love with you.

Her cheeks were crimson from reading his letter. She had no idea Natsu could be so sweet. She had an idea, but seeing it in writing... It took her breath away.

When I asked you to marry me, part of me was scared you'd say no. I mean, we were already mates, but I still feared you wouldn't want to be more than that. You're amazing, and I'm just a destructive idiot. I feel like the luckiest man in the world to be with you. I love you Lucy, and I'm so glad we're celebrating our two year anniversary now.

Lucy felt tears collect in the corners of her eyes. Her heart warmed from his words. "You're not an idiot," she mumbled, voice thick from her urge to cry. "I don't mean it when I say it..."

Natsu wrapped an arm around her shoulder, saying, "I know," before resting his forehead on her shoulder. He waited for her to continue reading his letter, his own heart pounding wildly. He wasn't the best with words, but he tried hard when it came to writing to her. He wanted her to know just how happy she made him.

I can't even imagine what my life would be like right now if you weren't in it, and honestly I don't want to even entertain the thought. I love you, so very much. Every day that we're together just shows me how much we've grown and how far we've come. I'm glad to have you as my best friend, my mate, and my wife.

The tears finally spilled down Lucy's red cheeks. She didn't know she could be so emotional over a letter. She leaned against Natsu, letting him be her rock. He was always there to support her, whether it was on a mission, or with her dreams to be an author. He was always there for her.

We don't know what lies ahead, but I know we can make it through as long as we stick together. Be it dark guilds, or debt, we will see it to the end.

She let out a giggle, glad that he was still silly even in the heartfelt letter.

I'm so glad we got stuck in a cave together, because without that time with you, I'm not sure I would have summoned the courage to tell you how I felt. Part of me thinks I would have stayed oblivious and never realized how I felt about you.

The same could be said about herself. She hadn't realized just how much she loved Natsu until they were alone in that situation. Lust might have brought them closer, but love kept them together.

I don't regret being your friend, best friend, mate, boyfriend, fiancé, or husband. And I will never regret being by your side. You can come to me with anything, and I will always be there to listen. I love you Lucy, and I'm so glad we get to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary together.

Love, your husband, Natsu.

Lucy read the note once again before folding it back up. By then her eyes were watery, her vision blurring. She turned to Natsu, feeling his warm arms pull her into an embrace. "I love you, Natsu." She smiled, feeling the heat from his body against herself. "I love you so much!"

"I love you too," he said, content with the moment they were in. He felt a lot better now about his gift. Especially since she hadn't even gotten to the other part yet. "Hey Luce, there's something else in the bag."

"What?" She asked, pulling away to wipe the tears from her eyes. She looked down at the gift bag, seeing a lump under some tissue paper. She lifted it, removing the paper and gasping. "You got this for me?"

"Yeah," Natsu smiled as she inspected her present.

In her hands was a dark brown pouch. Inside was a soft, pink liner. A key ring was attached to the inside to house her celestial keys. "I got you a new pouch for your gate keys since the other one has some damage."

That wasn't the only reason he got her another one. That day they got trapped in the cave he burned her key pouch. He felt horrible afterwards. The next few weeks after they got out of the cave he went around to different towns trying to find a replacement. None were as good as the one he destroyed.

Natsu had almost given up until he found that one a month ago while out on a job. It was perfect, so he bought it and hid it from her until this moment. The smile on her face and the wonder in her eyes was enough to tell him that she was happy with the gift.

"I love it! Thank you!" She crushed him in a hug, twisting her body and bringing him with her. "Thank you thank you thank you!"

Natsu chuckled, "you're welcome!" He guessed his gifts were pretty good after all. He was glad they knew each other so well. He remembered a time when he thought Lucy would like a frog as a present. Now that they'd been together for years, he knew her almost as well as she knew herself. It made things easier... It made things comfortable.

Lucy pulled back, planting a kiss on his lips. She smiled against him, wanting to say 'thank you' more but also wanting to continue kissing him. She went with the latter, their lips moving against each others until they both laid down on the bed.

Natsu was the one to finally separate the kiss, saying if they kept going then he wasn't going to want to stop, and they both needed their sleep. When Lucy asked why, he just grinned.

"What... What does that mean?"

The dragon slayer laughed as he said, "tomorrow we're going to a festival!"

Natsu knew there was more to it than that, but he couldn't ruin the surprise just yet. He needed to recover, and so did she. With what he had planned for tomorrow, they would both need to be rested.

Lucy accepted his answer, snuggling against him to get more comfortable. "I guess I am pretty tired," she yawned, causing him to yawn too. "And my butt hurts."

Natsu laughed, followed by Lucy. "Yeah," he snickered, "I can imagine." Feeling exhausted now that the hype of their gift-giving was over, he sat up. "I'll go put these things away before bed." Grabbing the key pouch and letter to slip them back in the gift bag, he set them along with his box containing a flame on the room's desk.

The dragon slayer turned off the lights before returning to bed, happy about how the day turned out and excited about the day ahead of them tomorrow. He thought about the amazing third day they had at the resort as they fell asleep with the flame lighting up the corner of the room.
