Anime: Fairy Tail

Pairing: NatsuXLucy

Rating: Rated M

Disclaimer: Fairy tail does not belong to me.

Author's Note: I received great reviews. Someone also gave me a nice advice. To tell the truth, the previous chapter made me cringe for some odd reason. It was like I forgot how to write a story (I blame the fact that I have been reading medical book instead of normal ones). I feel sad. I'll be watching Fairytail again to bring back my Nalu fever then I'll be reading some book and fan fiction again (as homework)

I don't want you guys to keep on reading just because you've been invested in the story so I hope you guys would love this. So yeah. Here's the fourth one.

Previous Chapter:

She was relaxing for a few longs minutes before she closed her eyes and let her mind wander, finding its way back to that night. She stood up suddenly and immediately went under the cold shower, letting out a frustrated sigh.

"Damn."

Part IV

Alone in one table at the corner of the guild, Lucy kept quiet and stared into space. As soon as Mira handed her her usual strawberry milkshake, she took it and left her usual bar stool and sat down at the table she was sitting on. She didn't want to move around and she wasn't in the mood to talk to other people as well. She just wanted to be left alone and think. Staying at her apartment would remind her of everything that happened then her mind would be clouded with vivid images of them tangled with each other; and before she knew it, her hands would be moving on its own and soft sound would be escaping her lips. She let out a long sigh. Not because of frustration but because she didn't know what to do. It may be a bad idea to go to the guild but the noise drowned everything inside her.

At least he's not yet here.

She closed her eyes and rested her head on the table, forcing away the images that's swimming in her head. She was successful.

That was until she heard the doors kicked open and his voice.

"Graaaay!" he roared as she ran towards the raven haired ice mage, his hand closed to a fist and ready to punch the mage.

I spoke too soon.

It was a bad idea. Her eyes snapped open and her head whipped up. She turned towards the source of the voice. Her heart started to beat faster, pictures of them flooded her thoughts, and heat crawled up her cheeks as she recalled the dreams that she was had whenever she fell asleep. It has only been three days since they ended up sleeping together. Her hand found it's way to the side of her neck that was caked with concealer. He had left a love mark on her and it hasn't completely faded yet.

"Hey. You okay?" Levy asked as she sat down next to her, causing her to jump in surprise.

She didn't notice her walking towards her. She was too busy watching Natsu and Gray fight. Gray already lost his shirt and his pants during the fight but he had managed to rip Natsu's vest away, giving her an eyeful of his body.

"Yeah. You've been sighing for a few days now." Wendy added with concern as she sat down.

"Is it because you didn't win the drinking contest to pay for your rent?" Erza asked with her hands on her wasit. "We can go on a job now. I'll go call Natsu."

She didn't sit down. Concern was etched on their facial features. It took her a long second before Erza's suggestion sinked in. She doesn't want to go on a job even though she needs to. She doesn't want to be with Natsu. Not when she was still in that state.

"Wait."

"Natsu!" Erza called out, emanating a dark aura, to Natsu who was exchanging punches with Gray. They immediately stopped fighting and placed an arm on each other's shoulder, looking completely out of character. They looked over at their table and gave a weird wave, resembling a robot.

"No. It's okay. I'll manage." She said in a hurried manner as she watched the two act like Happy.

A small smile appeared on her lips when the two immediately started fighting again when Erza had her back on them. She looked around the table, still seeing the worry in their eyes. Carla was sitting near Wendy, with her arms crossed over her chest.

"So what's wrong?" Carla asked the original question, completely reminding her.

"Nothing. I'm just not in the mood."

She shook her head and gave them a smile. The girls exchanged looks with each other. She wasn't ready to walk about it with anyone. She, herself, was still confused and torn.

"So, Levy? What's up with you and Gajeel?"

She asked changing the subject. She wished for them to bite the bait. And they did. The girls immediately bombarded that blue haired girl questions. After Levy asked them about doing it with someone the other day, they noticed that the iron dragon slayer was always next to Levy no matter where she went. The petite blue haired girl flushed.

She smiled to herself, happy that her best friend was finally having progress with the person she likes. She allowed her mind to wander. She was still confused and torn. She couldn't say that she doesn't want it to happen again but her fantasies was giving her a hard time. She felt as though she was a hormonal horny teenager whenever she sees him or when she doesn't.

The love bite at the side of her neck didn't help her calm down and forget. She could still vividly feel and imagine what he felt like against her. The scratch marks that she left on his back didn't help as well. It reminded her of the pleasure he gave her. Both were fading on each other but it can still be seen.

Natsu was still teased about it and was still questioned about it.

But he never told anyone.

She sighed in frustration as she felt as though she was on fire. She was aroused. She needed a cold shower. A long one. A really, really long one.

"I'm going home." She stood up, abruptly, surprising the other girls.

She waved goodbye as she briskly walked towards the door and walked outside. She was in a hurry to leave and in a hurry to get rid of the heat that she was feeling. The heat from the sun didn't help. The way her clothes rubbed against her didn't help as well.

As soon as she left, Natsu jogged towards the girl's table with a wide grin on his face,

"Where's she going?" He asked as he watched Lucy walked out the guild in a hurry.

Sudden want suddenly passed through him as soon as he took in a breath. He could smell her scent. It was sweet and enticing. It was intoxicating him as he stood there, conds passing.

"She's going home.. What's wrong with her? She's been off since after the contest." Erza asked, worried and hoping that Natsu would know.

He cocked his head to the side and furrowed his eyebrows before he shrugged, causing the girls to let out a sigh. They had hoped that he would know since they were always together.

"I'm not sure but I'm going to find out." He stated, drunk from her scent.

He swiftly walked out the guild doors and walked towards the direction of her apartment. He doesn't see her anymore so he hurried, thinking that she may be at her apartment already. He ran, wanting to catch up to her. He wanted to know what was wrong. But he needed to catch her scent. He needed to know if it was the same scent as that night.

"Lucy!" He called out waving his hand while he was running as soon as he saw her.

Lucy kept quiet even though he already caught up to her. She still walked briskly, desperate for the cold shower. Other scents wafted through his nose as he decided to make sure once they reach her apartment. Natsu walked with her, keeping up with her hurried pace. She was nervous. Her heart was beating wildly. That was the only time they were alone with each other again since she always made sure that they were with someone or that she was far away from him. She didn't know what to talk to him about. Her brain was in rambles.

But for some odd reason, she felt her stomach filled with butterflies and feeling more hot and bothered instead of nervous. She couldn't help but remember now that he was near her.

She opened the door and walked in with Natsu close behind. He headed straight to the bed and plopped down, grinning at her. She blushed at what he did as the images flashed in through mind. Not only the night that they shared but also her dreams and fantasies. She pressed her thighs together and glared at Natsu.

His nose perked up as he stared at her.

"What do you think you're doing? Get out of my bed!" she scolded.

"Luce." He stood up and walked towards her.

"W-what?" she asked, cursing herself because she stuttered.

"Your scent. It's stronger."

She flushed as soon as he said those words. She pressed her thighs harder together. He could smell her. Panic coursed through her but so did lust. He could smell her arousal.

He walked closer to her and she walked backwards. She could see her eyes getting clouded each time he inhaled. He trapped her with his arms as soon as her back hit the wall. He touched her hair and pulled it closer to him, bending towards it and sniffing. He placed his hands on his shoulder as he placed his head at the crook of her head with her head cocking to the side on instinct, letting the tip of his nose brush lightly against her skin. His hand slowly slide down from her shoulders to her wrist. He held it up and sniffed.

"Natsu. W-what are you doing?" Her voice came out as shaky.

"I want to know where it's strongest." He answered as he placed his hands on her waist and sniffed her stomach. "Each time I touch you and smell you, your scent gets stronger."

She flushed then pushed him away before she escaped to her bathroom, leaving him standing there wondering.

"It's the same scent as that night."

Author's Note:

So, I think I might post one chapter each week. But if my imagination is running wild, I might post more than one chapter in one week. School started for me so I might get busy.

I hope you guys like this. Writing this and posting it was (and still am) nerve wrecking.

Galven: It was a dream. But if you're pertaining to the second chapter, I have an explanation. Also, thank you for you advice :)

sthokatrina: Thank you! I am gonna continue this but my updates would possibly be slow. My brain's dry at the moment.

llazo4108824: I am! Currently writing the next chapter. I need just a bit more inspiration though. And YES! LUCY AND NATSU SHOULD BE TOGETHER AND NALU SHOULD BE CANON.

Guest from June 18: Thank you so much. That really helps me a lot. I am trying to think positively about writing. I like it actually but I can't help but feel that there's something missing or that there's something wrong. I'm glad to know that I've captured it really well :) I hope you'll leave a review next time as well :D

Oh yeah! What do you guys want to see on the next chapter. I'm open to suggestions. I already have an idea on what to write and currently writing it but I could add some ideas that you'll suggest that I ended up liking.

Reviews, follows and favorites are very much appreciated. :)

Thank you and see you next chapter.
