Hey, Dark Gothic Lolita here!

Yes, yes. Go ahead and kill me. I know that it's been so long since I updated this story, but the truth is, I had a bit of trouble writing this chapter in particular. I've written a good portion of the rest, but this was one was a bit troublesome. Why you ask? Simple, I wasn't sure if I really wanted this to be lemon, or non-lemon, but today, I decided to leave the lemon to all your imaginations lol.

Also, my other reason for not updating in so long is on tumblr, so if you ever need updates on my life or stuff that I've said, please follow me on dark-gothic-lolita. It explains my messy life on there lol. I know this chapter is short, but it's a start right? Just getting back into writing now lol.

ENJOY!

I love you in 26 different ways

M is for mammal

Juvia didn't really know how they ended up in this position. One minute, they were talking about cats, then frogs, then snakes and all sorts of animals. It seemed like Natsu didn't know the categories of species and Juvia was the only one about to tell him about then.

"Okay, so a reptile is stuff like snakes, crocodiles and all the scaly animals, yeah?"

"Right! They're also cold blooded!"

Natsu looked over at Juvia as she was talking animatedly. He had a purpose for what he was doing and was glad that she hadn't caught onto it yet. He wasn't stupid, of course he knew what a reptile was, Igneel was a freaking DRAGON! They are like the grandfather of all reptiles!

"Okay, so can Natsu tell Juvia the different between a mammal and a reptile?" She looked over at him expectantly as he started thinking long and hard about it. She guessed that it must have been the alcohol in their system that they were discussing something so nonsensical. Like, who cares about this sort of stuff on a normal day? NO ONE!

"Well, mammals have fur to keep keep themselves warm. On a human, this could be like the little hairs on our arms, hair on a man's chest and just the hair on our head even." Natsu moved closer to Juvia and ran his hand through her hair. She looked up into his eyes, ignoring the feeling of want. Maybe he was just demonstrating. Yeah, that's what he was doing.

"Anything else?"

"Yeah, we're not cold blooded because we have that system in our bodies that you said regulate our heat and stuff." He leaned on her and pushed her down as she stared at him wide eyed. He grinned at her as he ran his hand slowly up and down her arm. He traced circles on her arm. "You're really warm."

"And Natsu-san is hot."

Her voice was nothing but a simple whisper. That could have gone too ways. She could have a, been talking about his magic, or b, talking about how good looking he is. They stared into each other's eyes as they were both silent, just staring. Juvia's breath hitched in her throat when she realised how close Natsu was to her and how intently he was staring at her.

"We can show affection."

His voice was low as he used his bedroom voice, a voice he didn't know that he could use. He placed his lips on hers and kissed her roughly. Juvia tried to match the kiss, but it was clear that Natsu was dominating it. She allowed him the control he wanted and he smirked before pulling away.

"Females can also breastfeed. I'm no baby, but I am a boobs guy." He gave her a suggestively look, as though he were asking if he was allowed to touch the ones on her chest.

Juvia's face turned bright red when Natsu groped her as she nodded her head, giving him the okay. She let out a moan when he started rolling it around in the cup that held it. She didn't know what he was doing here, but she had to admit that she liked it. She liked the feel of his hands on her. Where had her bravery even come from? On a usual day, no guy would ask to touch them and then she wouldn't have to say no.

She then grabbed his hand and stopped him, suddenly feeling the extra want in her system. She needed him, couldn't he see what he was doing to her?! It wasn't fair! If only he knew how much she liked him, he wouldn't be playing with her feelings like this.

"Natsu-kun, stop. We shouldn't do this here."

He chuckled darkly, sending a pulsing feeling down to her lower regions. "You're right, we should go to mine."

As soon as those words left his lips, Juvia found her back hitting a soft material. Natsu literally sped them through the streets and straight back to his. Juvia giggled at how eager he was. That was when he remembered that they had been drinking and while he wasn't drunk, he was certain that his companion was.

Juvia sensed his hesitation and frowned, grabbing his hand, making him look in her eyes. "What's wrong?" she asked him softly. Did he suddenly change his mind? Of course he did, maybe he sobered up and realised that she wasn't Lucy or something.

"You're drunk."

"Juvia isn't drunk. She was playing along, thinking that Natsu-kun was drunk this whole time! Juvia...did it as a way to get close to Natsu-kun, because she likes Natsu-kun, even though it's clear that Natsu-kun likes Lucy-san..."

She was blushing now as she looked away from him, using her other hand to cover her eyes. She didn't want him to see her like this, she was so embarrassing!

He watched her, a smile breaking out on his face. He liked this side of her and he had to admit it, it was pretty cute to watch her like this.

"You look pretty fucking cute when you blush. Man is Gray an idiot."

Juvia was about to speak when Natsu leaned down to capture her lips. There was alcohol on their breath but they weren't intoxicated. It was a good thing anyway, they both wanted to be able to remember this. Natsu ran his hand down the side of her body, reaching to the helm of her shirt and pulling it right off, barely breaking the kiss. It was a gift. He kissed her jawline as she took a sharp in drawn breath and he chuckled. Sometimes, he liked Gray being an idiot, because he let the good things go.

He looked right into her eyes, pushing her hair out of her face as he slipped off his vest and grinned down at her as she looked up at him expectantly.

"Besides, who said that I like Lucy when I'm in love with you?"

So how was that chapter for ya? Pretty bad, I know but hey, I'm getting back into it all! I told you I wasn't sure whether I wanted to carry on with the lemon, but basically, just know that they did end up going through with it lol. It was an easy cop out, but I really had a lot of trouble with this chapter. Might have to make it up to you guys by turning it into a multichapter story some day lol. MAYBE. Not guaranteed.

So yeah, I know I'm totally late, but for the summer and between work and sporting competitions, I'll try to update loads before uni starts up again in October!
