Souring- He's sleeping on the pillow... Ya know the one that's there for Natsu but he's using Lucy LOL It's more that they need her presence or scent around them to be able to sleep. That's been said since early on in the story. That's why they were ALWAYS trying to stay the night to begin with. Obviously after weeks of not having the nightmares he wouldn't feel a a need to haffta cuddle up right on her. Remember he has been able to sleep beside her since that first night.

Natsu bit his lip as he watched Lucy sleeping in the early morning light of sunrise. Somehow they had shifted in their sleep and now he was face to face with her, her arm draped over his side and his still beneath her shirt but pressed against her back with one of his legs tangled between her own. He hadn't been awake long but in that short time he had decided that this is exactly how he wanted to wake up for the rest of eternity and he'd further cemented his decision to say to hell with fate and mates alike and finally just tell her. All that was left was for her to wake up happily so she would listen to him.
He was growing restless at the thought of having to wait longer and so he began trying to will her eyes to open with his mind. That only lasted a few moments before he started caressing her back with the hope the movement would bring her to wakefulness. This plan started to pay off when she hummed and shifted slightly closer. Suppressing the groan at the feel of her pressed further into him he smiled, "Oi, Lucy? You awake?"
"Too early," the woman grumbled sleepily.
He chuckled, "Come on Lucy I need to talk to you about something."
Groaning she let one eye pop open to regard him. Ignoring the embarrassment of his closeness in favor of irritation she yawned and asked, "Can't it wait? I'm cumffy and tired let me sleep baka."
Natsu smiled happily at her words. She was 'cummfy' curled up with him and admitted it. Noticing she closed her eye once more he growled slightly. "Luce are you listening to me?"
"Hmmm sort of…"
He pouted at that but decided if he kept talking she'd have to wake up. "We're nakama right?"
"Duh…"
"Partners?"
"Yes…"
"Friends?"
Getting further irritated Lucy growled out, "Yes what's with the dumb questions?"
Ignoring her he kept going, "Like the best of friends right?"
"Uuuggghhhh Yes!"
"You trust me right?"
Sighing because she knew he wasn't going to shut up until he told her whatever it is he was trying to, she finally opened her eyes, "Yes Natsu I trust you." She said wearily as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
Smiling at not only her responses but the fact she was looking at him he continued his questions, "Can I try something? I promise I'll stop if you get mad or don't like it but can I?"
Lucy blinked. She had an odd sense of déjà vu and was slightly worried since Natsu looked almost, nervous? It wasn't often that he looked that way and she had to furrow her brow in confusion at the sight. Hesitantly she said, "I guess."
Letting some of his tension go at her consent he steeled his nerves for what he was about to do. Words sometimes were hard but action he could handle. So with that thought he leaned in slamming his eyes shut and kissed her while praying he wasn't about to die a horrible death.
Lucy didn't have time to register his movement until it was over. To say she was surprised would be the understatement of a lifetime. Her eyes widened and her mind raced with thoughts. Natsu is kissing her. He was trying to tell her something. Natsu, the dense idiot of a man she had grown to love was kissing her. He had stolen her first kiss. His hand was pressed against her bare back and he was kissing her with a scared look on the part of his face she could see. She had been woken up by Natsu trying to tell her something only to have him kiss her. And she was… doing nothing.
Quickly snapping out of her trance she pushed herself closer and started to reciprocate the action. The one and only man she had ever given her heart to was actually acting like he wanted it and she wasn't about to waste the moment thinking over the reasons why or why she shouldn't be doing this. For once she was going to throw caution to the wind and damn the consequences.
If someone asked him what the scariest thing in his life was he would have to say the moment his lips collided with Lucy's. Every one of her muscles had locked up and her heart beat thudded loudly in unison with his own. There were no words to describe how nervous, excited, scared, happy, and amazing he felt. He never knew one could feel wonderful and terrible things at the same time. Thinking that he was doomed when he let her go he relished in the moment best he could. The feel of her pressed against him, the way his lips molded to her own, how soft her skin felt beneath his hand, all of it was being committed to memory.
When he felt her relax and push back his heart skipped a beat and tried to leap through his throat. She was actually responding to him and this wasn't one of the many dreams that plagued his mind especially as of late. The feeling of her tongue swiping his bottom lip made him jump for a moment before he raked his brain trying to figure out what to do. Hadn't he heard the guys around the guild talking about this before? Feeling her start to pull away he leaned in further and tried to mirror her action hoping that's what she wanted. He had been flabbergasted when his tongue slipped past her lips only to enter her mouth. In his dreams she always was talking or gasped giving him entrance he never realized that this is how you would gain entry without those occurrences.
When Lucy's tongue rubbed against his own his mind snapped at the thrilling feelings coursing through his very being. It was like the greatest fire he'd ever tasted. Sweet and warm and somehow the taste and feeling traveled through him igniting him from within. Lucy tasted like fire to him. He couldn't stop the growl that pulled from him at the thought as he pressed further into her trying to gain more access to her mouth. Hearing her moan in response added fuel to the inferno that was consuming him. In that moment everything about her reminded him of white hot flames.
Something clicked in his conscious and he pulled roughly away from her mouth leaving them both panting. Opening his eyes to the sight of Lucy flushed faced, lips swollen and heavily panting was an image that fed his male ego incredibly. Forcing the thought aside for the moment he leaned in to kiss her quickly once more to make sure he was right. When he pulled back this time though he spoke, "Luce… you… you taste like fire!" Not giving her time to respond he dove in once more groaning in pleasure.
Hearing his voice snapped her back to consciousness. She tasted like fire? Not exactly the first thing she wanted to hear from his mouth after he almost devoured her. Was that why he wanted to kiss her, to see if she tasted delicious? Did everything have to revolve around food with him? Pulling her hand that had somehow made it's way into his hair down to his chest while letting the other detangle from his scarf to join it's partner, she lightly pulled away from him as she pushed him back. When she was met with his slightly hurt and confused face she simply asked, "I taste like fire?" feeling confused and hurt as well.
He was worried when she pulled away but at her question he just smiled, "Hell yeh you do! You know what this means?" When she slowly shook her head negatively he smiled brighter, "It means I love you!" he stated, once more trying to claim her lips only to be halted.
His declaration gave rise to several emotions. She had gone from confusion, to curiosity, to hope, then shock that gave way to happiness, which lead to heartbreak and finally anger. "Hold on, I taste like fire so you love me?" Seeing him smile and nod enthusiastically didn't help settle her anger any. Pulling away from him she asked, "So, you love me?"
"YUP!" Natsu said trying to figure out why she suddenly started to look upset. Had had been pretty damn sure a moment ago that she at least felt somewhat similar to himself so it confused him at the change in her mood.
"Because I taste like fire you love me?" she asked icily while pulling back further from the man and standing.
Natsu blinked dumfounded on what to say, "Well yeh, but n-"
"Get out."
Scared out of his mind he scrambled to his feet, "Lucy listen that's n-"
"Get away from me and get out!" she ground out while trying to hold the tears back.
Ignoring her once more he took a step forward noticing her taking two back, "Please jus-"
"No I'm done with this shit! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!"
After being woken up by Natsu's string of questioning Happy had quietly taking his leave to head to the refrigerator and obtain his favorite meal. From the kitchen he had snickered the whole time his partners were making out while secretly thinking that phase one of his bestest plan had finally happened, or at least would. There was no way weirdo like Lucy would let Natsu get away without some explanation and then he'd have to tell her. And after she was all happy, Happy would make his appearance and tell her about the bestest idea along with Natsu and his plans they made at the guild yesterday afternoon. Just as he was about to make his appearance and announce the bestest news ever Lucy got scary weird causing Happy to bear witness to her freaking out and yelling. Scared out of his mind he raced forward and attached himself to her chest wailing, "NNNOOOOO WAAAAAAA! Lucy STOP! Don't leave us!"
Happy's interruption was like a godsend giving Natsu a moment to think while Lucy was distracted. What the hell had gone wrong? How did she not understand what he meant? She took it all wrong again! With that thought popping in his mind he remembered something that would hopefully save his friendship at the least, "You promised you'd listen!" he said accusingly while pointing at her. Seeing her gaze snap back to him he flinched slightly and looked away saying, "Last time you were mad at me you promised you'd listen. You keep your promises so, please?" He begged.
Hearing Natsu, Happy sobbed further and added, "AYE! You told me it'd never happen again!"
Looking between the two some of Lucy's anger subsided. They had a point she made a promise and she couldn't call herself a celestial mage if she started breaking promises. Could she? Glaring once more to the man not daring to meet her eye she stomped over to the couch and sat down on the furthest edge. Setting Happy down next to her she crossed her legs and rested her chin against her fist leaning on the arm of the couch keeping her eyes locked on the wall. Several moments of silence passed before she growled out, "Well out with it. I don't have all day and when you're done I want you out of my home Natsu."
AHHHH! Don't hate me!
MMUUUHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHA
