Lucy pov
Opening my eyes I noticed that I was laying down on my bed again and the sun was up, Natsu was still sleeping soundly beside me.
Crawling out of bed I noticed I was still wearing the same clothes I had on the previous day during the mission, thinking back to what me and Natsu did in the middle of the forest I blushed red.
Walking into the bathroom I turned on the tap and got in, lathering shampoo into my hair, I did all the essential things in my daily shower quickly so I just stood there for a while letting the hot water fall onto my hair as I was deep in thought.
"Natsu did say he loved me… but" I doubted everything Natsu told me what if he just played me? Still deep in thought I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist.
"You do know that I love you… why would I ever lie to you about something like that? I'm not a jerk…" Natsu smiled as he said this moving my wet hair out of the way kissing my neck.
"I know Natsu you're not a jerk… but what if this is all just a fling? Just something you could say you did and-'' I was cut off as Natsu pressed his lips to mine.
"If I ever did that to you… I'd hate myself for it" he muttered nuzzling his face into the crook of my neck.
Turning around I placed my arms around his neck and placed my head on his chest. We both just stood there in silence letting the water fall down on us, Natsu was warmer than the water he made it feel like a sauna. But that's what made me feel so safe when I was with him no matter how vulnerable I feel as, it's a fact that Natsu makes me feel invincible.
My mind drifted off as Natsu held his protective arms around me like a dragon would protect his mate. I could see myself and another person walking in a wide open field, holding hands as we talked and laughed. Two little kids came running towards us, a boy and a girl to be exact they seemed to be the same age. Handing us carefully picked flowers they ran off again giggling and racing each other across the wide open plains. Smelling the sweet scent of the flower it reminded me of the time when I was little and my mom would take me to an open field just like this one just to read to me, and spend time together. But all of that is over and in the past now, my mother is dead and my father hates me so all I have left now is the guild, a tear escaped my eyes as I remembered the cherished time that passed by too quickly for my liking. The grip around my hand had tightened as I was turned into the man's chest being held tight.
Running his digits through my hair he whispered of how much he cared for me, and how he would always be there for me, looking up at the man that held onto me so lovingly I smiled at him as I stared at the one man I had loved for such a long time, just too stupid to realize my true feelings.
Letting my mind drift back to reality I found myself in the same situation except vastly different. There were no open field meadows, or two little kids running around. It was just me and Natsu embracing each other in the shower as tears fell down my eyes. Lifting my chin with his fingers he brushed off the tears, leaning down he placed a chaste kiss on my lips. Melting into the kiss I kissed back letting our lips move in sync, it felt so right as if our lips are meant for each other. The way his lips moved against mine felt so natural and the feeling of electricity ran through my body causing my pulse to quicken, and the heat to rise in the room, Natsu's lips moved from my lips down to my neck, moving my hair to the side the bright purple bruise he gave me in full sight. Smirking against my skin he looked at me from the side smiling mischievously.
"You know what Luce?" he smirked at me now looking into my eyes.
"What do I know Natsu?" I asked a bit impatient yearning for his touch.
"I think I just might make this bruise on your skin permanent, you know like re-apply it every day and eventually I think your body will get the message and not bother fixing the skin anymore, so everybody, and I mean everybody will know" Natsu said this now leaning closer so his hot breath tickled the sensitive skin behind my ear.
"Know what Natsu? What could they possibly know" I played along with him my fingers trailing down his chest feathering the skin lightly across his abs sinking lower down. Smirking at him I saw the way he reacted to the little things I did to him, I caused him to squirm under my touch, his breathing hitching every single time I teased him, or decided to play with him a little. Resting my hand gently above the area before the skin became extremely sensitive; I pushed slightly causing some pressure to go onto him from my hand. Looking up at him through my eyelashes his head leaned back slowly hitting the side of the shower wall, letting out a low strangled moan, giggling at his reaction his head snapped back down to look at me once again. Stepping towards me I reciprocated and took one step back, but since we were in the shower there wasn't lots of room for me to step back to. As my back hit the wall behind me now Natsu's hands placed themselves on either side of me blocking any escape routes there possibly were.
"You know Lucy one day…" Natsu stopped his talking as he leaned back down so his mouth was placed directly by my ear, "I'm going to cripple you because I'm going to pound into you so hard the people in the next town over will know who we are, I'm going to make you scream and beg for more, you will be at my mercy, everyone will know you are mine and mine alone". Natsu's voice ended in a growl as my face burned with embarrassment but something inside of me felt so attracted to the Natsu that stood before me. Natsu's Lips now pressed down on the bruise from yesterday sucking on the already tender skin, quiet moans escaped my mouth bouncing off of the shower walls echoing throughout the house. Now pressing soft kisses on the growing bruise he kissed his way back onto my ear lobe nibbling on it softly. "There all done" he whispered hotly into my ear.
Feeling the back of the shower wall I felt that I was actually pressed against the door of the shower, searching for the handle I pushed it open causing me to fall backwards, Natsu tumbling down with me. Feeling my back hit the hard floor beneath us I winced as the excruciating pain was felt all throughout my spinal cord. Natsu lifted himself off of me as our bodies were pressed together from the fall.
"Oh my god Lucy I'm so sorry" He apologized profusely as he picked me up and headed out of the bathroom and placed me gently on my bed. Wincing as the mattress hit my back he walked off somewhere, returning with some ice, but sadly before it got to me it melted in his hands. "Damn it, sometimes this just doesn't help one damn bit". He yelled frustrated tugging at his pink spiky hair.
"Natsu- its fine… I just need something that has ice or someone that can at least hold it" I whispered quietly.
"No damn way is anyone coming into the room seeing you this way! Especially with how you got this injury!" Natsu's Face lit up into a bright crimson red as he replayed the incidents that happened a few minutes prior.
"Well then get my clothes from in that drawer and help me put it on, then get someone cause some ice has to be put on" I retorted back at him.
"Fine…" Natsu huffed and turned around on his heels, opening and closing numerous drawers grabbing pieces of clothing as he opened each one. "Here these should do just fine" helping me put on my clothing he walked around mumbling about something.
"Hey Natsu! Who are you going to ask for help? You know I need someone that is able to hold something cold for a long time…" Smirking at him from my spit on the bed, I laughed at how wide his eyes grew as he realized who I was talking about.
"Oh come on Luce! Anyone but him! He begged me as his pace quickened.
"Well Natsu I need someone that can hold ice and not melt it at the touch" I looked at him sarcastically "and someone that wouldn't put too much pressure on it which is also known as Erza… and Levy well she's busy" I giggled at the last bit as I remembered that she and Gajeel were somewhere off doing things that I don't want to know about.
"Fine I'll get the damn living and walking freezer to help you, but only because you need to get ice on that bruise". Natsu looked quite angry as he mentioned Gray he started to walk towards the door.
"Uhhh Natsu aren't you forgetting something?" I looked at him raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah I am!" Natsu quickly ran over to me and leaned down giving me a quick peck on the lips. "Now I have to go!" Natsu turned back towards the door opening it wide running down the stairs he opened the building door only to have the sound of shrieking girls fill the morning air. A door slammed and pounding feet sounded itself back towards my front door. "Damn it Luce why didn't you tell me I was butt naked!" Natsu glared at me as he ran into the bathroom still naked quickly putting on his clothes.
"Natsu you remind me of someone…" I giggled.
"Oh yeah! Who?" He came out of the bathroom fastening his belt.
"Oh umm just some stripper boy I know…" My voice trailed off as I explained to him how "hot" this stripper boy was. Growling behind his teeth I giggled as my teasing words got to him.
"Lucy you're lucky you're injured or else I will show you who's hot…"Stalking towards me his voice getting lower.
"Well Natsu I suggest more finding Gray and less talking because my back is seriously killing me!" I said as Natsu was leaning in above me.
"Fine… only because I love you!" Natsu replied back to his cheerful self, giving me another peck but this time on the cheek he opened the window and jumped down, yelling Gray's name at the top of his lungs.
"Well that will keep him busy for a while…" My voice came to a hushed whisper.
All of a sudden a bright flash lit up the room, turning my head sideways I saw that in its place now stood Loke.
"Princess! You're in pain! Where does it hurt?" Loke asked as he looked all over my body looking for any sign of pain.
"Loke you need to stop opening your own damn gate! My back just hurts I fell and hit my back on the stone tiles in my bathroom!" I told him a bit annoyed at the fact that he was here at the moment, but slightly relieved that I has someone to talk to now.
"Well if I can be of any help Princess just tell me, and I shall be of assistance" Loke said.
"Well as long as you're here you could keep me company… It is kind of lonely waiting for Natsu to get Gray for me.
"Oh Lucy about Natsu… what is going on with the both of you? Like are you a couple? Because he had an interesting way of reacting to things" Loke asked me as he remembered in his mind the events that happened when he last opened his gate to sit with you and talk.
Blushing at his question. "No, No, No! What makes you think that?!" I denied it profusely shaking my head fast making it look like I was having a seizure.
"Well he seems very protective… and he calls off a lot of guys for you" Loke looked down clearly being one of those guys.
"Awww did he hurt the big Lions feelings?" I cooed at Loke as a joke teasing him as I pinched his cheek.
"No not me… well he did tell me off, but that was quite a while back. This time it was to someone else… they came and talked to me about it a few weeks back and well… it was quite weird the things Natsu said to him… but nothing out of the ordinary" He smiled at me as he said this.
"Who was it? Was it someone from our guild?" I asked looking into his eyes for an answer.
"Dam I've said too much! Bye Princess" Loke waved as he closed his gate just at the same time that Gray opened the door coming in.
"Uh Luce was that Loke?" He asked as he walked towards me. Nodding to his response he scratched the back of his head blushing. "Oh… umm well where is the bruise? Natsu kind of told me you fell.
"Oh yeah it's on my back" I turned around now lying on my stomach as I lifted my shirt revealing the bruise that covered a large part of my lower back.
"Ouch Luce that's outta hurt!" Gray winced as he placed his hands on my lower back causing his cold touch to cool off the bruise giving a feeling of relief.
"Oh that feels good" I mumbled into the pillow. "Hey uhh where is Natsu? Thought he would come back with you" I asked Gray turning my head to look at him from the side.
"Well Wendy, Carla and Happy are returning to the guild today so he said that as soon as they stepped into the doors he would get them to come over here and have Wendy heal your miserable looking bruise.
"Jeez thanks for being optimistic about it!" I joked as Gray laughed at my sarcasm dripped words.
"Ok well this should hold for a couple hours so I think it's actually ok for you to go back to the guild. That is if you want to go there".
"Yeah I think I'll go my house is pretty boring, and well the guild is pretty lively every day" I laughed remembering all the times the guild had to be re-built because of all of the brawls that broke out between the members.
"I think that's a bit of an understatement, that the guild is only lively. It's like a flipping circus in their 24/7, there's always drinking competitions going on with Cana and whoever is stupid enough to accept her challenge, or challenge her and I'm not even going to start with the damn flame brain, he's always burning the place down". Gray ranted, but you could see he truly loved the guild in the way he smiled and his eyes lit up as he talked about it.
"Well welcome to Fairytail I say!" I grinned at him both of us now bursting out into laughter, wiping the tears from my eyes I saw that Gray had taken off his shirt.
"Umm Gray… you're shirt… I swear it's not a habit anymore that is pure talent". I giggled as Gray cussed under his breath as he picked up his shirt and slipped it back over his head.
"Well we should get going" Gray held out his hand for me to grab, accepting his help he pulled me up setting me down on my feet. Walking out of the door I had to remind Gray one more time that his shirt once again "magically" disappeared.
Reaching the guild doors I opened it only to have everyone gawk at me and Gray walking in together.
"Hey Luce! Is there something you're not telling us!?" a voice shouted from one end of the guild.
"Yeah! Are you guys dating?" another called from the other end.
A shiver ran down my spine as I felt a dark aura from behind one of the pillars sending death glares in my direction. Only hearing small murmurs, but it didn't take any effort to find out who it was the one and only Juvia.
Sitting down at the bar I realized that Natsu wasn't here at the moment because I haven't heard any snide remarks about Gray so far.
"Hey Mira where is Natsu? Thought that he would at least be here, said he was going to wait for Wendy". I asked still looking around for the head of ridiculous spiky pink hair.
"Oh he said something about blowing off steam because of the damn ice head" Mira giggled as she mentioned the fact clearly that Natsu was jealous of the fact that Gray could help me and Natsu couldn't help with anything but melt ice. Laughing at this I moved my hair to one side of my neck completely forgetting about the huge red love bite.
Mira squealed in delight as she clapped her hands together. "So Lucy I want full details! Who is it from Gray, or Natsu! And when!" Looking at her confused she just pointed to her neck signaling to me that she sees it. Clapping a hand down on my neck I covered it as quickly as possible.
"Dang it! I didn't want anyone to see it!" I cursed.
"Too late!" Mira giggled delighted at the fact that she was first to know.
"Well I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea so it was from… Natsu…" I blushed looking down at my hands folding them together and playing with the hem of my shirt.
"Ahhhh It's about time! So did he confess?" Wow Mira sure is straight forward about anything she wants to know.
"Well we both did, and he said I was his… and well we kissed and things escalated and yeah…" trailing off my face turned red remembering the things that happened the previous night and a few hours prior of getting here.
"So are you guys together?" Mira asked looking hopeful.
Scratching the back of my head I shook my head sadly I wanted him to ask I really did but he never did so I thought he wasn't interested in me like that.
"Hmmm this just won't do… guess I'll have to give a lending hand to Natsu" and with that Natsu bursted through the door stalking towards me and Mira at a quick pace.
"Luce I need to talk to you… now!" he grabbed my hand and dragged me outside the doors towards the side of the building.
"Wait Natsu slow down! What do you want?" I questioned him as he gently pushed me up against the wall smashing his lips down onto mine, not caring what was happening I kissed back happily accepting his affection.
"Well I forgot to ask you something about yesterday and everything that has been going on and it's just it's just that…" his voice trailed off.
"It's just what Natsu?" I asked growing a bit impatient and annoyed at his constant stuttering.
"Don't think I'm asking you this because of what you and Mira were taking about… but"
"Wait you heard that!?" I asked my face turning a shade of beautiful strawberry red.
"Well yeah… but that's not the point! The point is that… I want to know if you would… want to be my girlfriend. I know it may seem rushed Lucy but it all seems so right, and you may think of me as some flame brain knuckle head, but if it's to make you happy I would do anything Luce! And I mean anything!" Growing a tick mark I grabbed onto Natsu's scarf and pulled him down smashing my lips onto his shutting him up.
"Natsu has anyone ever told you that you worry too much?" Natsu smirked leaned down and kissed me again.
"So I take that as a yes?" he asked once again looking hopeful.
"Most definitely" I smiled up at him.
Both of our head turned as we heard a shriek from beside us, only to hear Mira yell to the entire guild. "Natsu and Lucy are finally a couple! This calls for a huge celebration!"
