Okay for one I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything for days 4 5 and 6 but I didn't feel inspired at all by those prompts. This one however…. I'm actually kind of inspired by.

NaLu LoveFest Day Seven prompt: Sexy

Disclaimer: I own diddly squat.

Enjoy!~

Normally Lucy always looked amazing, in that little cropped top she wore that showed off her cleavage and stomach at the same time, and then there was the skirt. The outfit was really eye catching, and sometimes Natsu found himself staring far longer than he should. He couldn't exactly help it though, there was just something about her that was enticing. The way she moved, the graceful elegance of her step, probably learned from some charm school at a young age. Anyways, she was always beautiful in his opinion.

But recently people on their missions had started saying something about her that he had never considered flattering. Calling a girl 'sexy' was apparently a compliment but the Dragon Slayer didn't understand how. To him it sounded like they were regarding his girlfriend and longtime partner as a sex object instead of a person to be cherished. And it kind of made him mad.

He'd originally learned of the word in the guild. Macao and Wakaba would often refer to the women as sexy, and Natsu had asked what the word was one day when he was around twelve. He got a long talk about how it was an adult word that meant the person thought someone was physically attractive. He didn't quite understand it.

"If they're physically attractive, doesn't that make them pretty, beautiful, or handsome or whatever?" He asked in confusion. And Macao had explained that, yes those were nice words too, and he tried to come up with a better way to explain it. Finally he just told the small Natsu that he would understand when he was older.

Well, Natsu was older. And he still didn't get it. Well, he got it, but he never really liked the word. Sexy meant you found someone attractive in a sexual way, and while that could be(?) flattering he found it every rude to tell someone that didn't know you that you found them sexy. That seemed kind of creepy, to go up to a random girl or guy and claim they were sexy. It would be much nicer to go up and tell them that they were beautiful or handsome, in his opinion. And that's exactly what he always used to describe Lucy. She was beautiful, inside and out, and she was tougher than nails too.

He understood why people would call her sexy, yes. But she was more than that. She was radiant. Like the stars she contracted, she shined brightly with a brilliance that was unparalleled. He'd told her so the night he finally confessed that he loved her two months ago. And after he finished his declaration, Lucy cried. For a brief moment he wondered if he'd screwed up, but then she smiled as bright as ever when she was happy and told him that she loved him too.

"Natsu?" Her voice pulled him from his thoughts and he remembered why he'd begun thinking about all this 'sexy' business in the first place. They'd come back from a mission and tons of men had claimed she was sexy or drop dead gorgeous. And when they'd gotten home—Lucy's apartment—where Natsu immediately headed to raid her fridge, but she had stopped him, wanting to talk.

"Why haven't you called me sexy, Natsu? Are you not…. Attracted to me in that way?" She'd asked quietly.

"Sorry. I was thinking." He murmured when she just stared at him, waiting for an answer. He set his shoulders and face her head on, reaching out to cup her cheek in his hand. "And I'm wondering what brought this on." He added. She frowned, noticing how he'd deflected.

"Well…. Everyone else calls me sexy, and you don't…. I know you think I'm pretty, you say it enough-"

"Luce," he smiled his wide smile that always made her heart flutter and a small blush rise to her cheeks as he pulled her close and touched his forehead to hers, "First, you're not merely pretty. You're beautiful, radiant, gorgeous. Those words don't even do you justice." He told her sincerely. "And second, you're right. I don't call you sexy, and yes there's a reason but it's not because I don't think of you that way. Trust me. I just have more respect for you than that. Of all the words in the world, using that one to describe you….. I won't do it. You're more than sexy, you're entrancing, enticing, bewitching, and you had me under your spell from the first glance you spared me. So no, I won't call you sexy. Because just like pretty doesn't even cover your pinkie toe, sexy can't even compare to you. You are so much more."

"Natsu….." She had no clue how to respond to that. "Where the hell did you learn to talk like that?" She asked suddenly. Natsu blinked, and then chuckled.

"Levy has been shoving books at me, telling me to read up so you can have a model to inspire your hero or something? If I don't read them she has Erza hit me over the head with a really heavy book!" He pouted. Lucy giggled and leaned forward to kiss him.

"You're a dork."

"But you love me, right?"

"Of course. And you love me too."

"Always." He nodded.

Well there you have it. Give me some prompts and I'll see if I can do them! REVIEW!

UNTIL NEXT TIME MY LOVELIES!
