My Japanese teacher was away today so I had a free period! Which means YAYES for you guys because I can upload a new chapter! I still need nicknames for Wendy and Rogue!

Natsu: *hugs Lucy growling possessively* Mine!

Sting: *reaches for her* GIVE HER TO ME!

Laxus: *picks up Lucy by the back of her shirt* Leave my baby sister alone! She's way too good for all of you!

Fro & Happy: We think so too!

Lucy: *sigh* Rose-chan doesn't own Fairy Tail. But she owns this idea and she's gonna pay! *to boys* STOP SPEAKING IN THE GROWL TALK I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!

Rose: AGH!

This Chapter was not requested but it is especially for -73 and Saki-chan16 because I know they love NaLu and I couldn't think of what to write next.

WARNING THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MUCH NALU! IT'S NOT ESSENTIAL TO THE STORY BUT NALU PEOPLE WILL HOPEFULLY ENJOY!

-Natsu-

I stumble off the train and fall face first onto the platform. I hear laughter but no-one come to help me. I get up queasily and stagger over to a bench. I throw my head back and allow myself a few minutes to recover from the motion sickness. Damn. I ended up riding the train three times. At least I won't have to worry about that for a while. I know I'm the last Dragon Slayer to arrive. I was supposed to come later but apparently the mission was becoming more dangerous by the day so we had to speed things up a little. That's why I had to go with metal-face, though… He was a lot calmer now that he had mat-

My thoughts break off as I sniff, Lu… Cy? I stand up and look around, it's dark, and there's no way… Come to think of it, Levy did smell kinda like Lucy when I saw her at the station. Maybe she's here! I follow her scent and eventually arrive at a house. It's not very big and it's been painted white. It looks exactly like the house Lucy wrote about in her story. Red roof, flower boxes under the windows green grass a picket fence. But there were obvious boyish touches too. The fence was painted unevenly, the gate was broken and hanging off hinges, the flowers were all dead, the gutter was full of dead leaves and the grass hadn't been mowed. I inhale deeply, Lucy's scent filters through my brain, but it's mixed with Gajeel's, and Laxus's, and Happy's, and Wendy's and Lily's and WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? I push on the door and it opens with a creak. I hear a whimper from behind a closed door. I ignore it and explore the house a little.

There was a fireplace and a large bookshelf in the sitting room. A large lacrima screen was opposite a six-seater couch and there was pillows in the corner. A large squishy thing I once heard Lucy call a 'bean-bag' was beside the couch and on it lay a sleeping Lily. I wasn't interested in the bathroom so I skipped it over. The kitchen was small but clean and the fridge was stocked with food. I hear another whimper and this time I recognise it. Lucy. I feel a grin curl itself onto my features. She was here! I could see her! I don't have to wait! And… Mating Season. A voice in the back of my head reminds me. Could I be near her? Will I be able to restrain myself with her so close? I think, but a third whimper cracks through any resolve I had built up against the idea. I had slept in her bed the whole time she was away but I still missed her real scent not just a lingering one. I wanted to hold her in my arms as I slept, I wanted her warmth beside me and I wanted her head tucked under my chin.

I wander over and open the door. I could smell Lucy in the bed furtherest from the door. I couldn't see her, only a small bump under the blanket, but I could hear her heart racing and her teeth chattering together from the cold. I amble over and pull back the blanket. Her eyes are screwed tightly shut, the tip of her nose and lips are blue and her body is shivering rapidly. I climb onto the bed and I hear her gasp, I ignore her and wrap my arms around her quivering form. I pull the blanket over us and absentmindedly stroke her hair as she tucks her head under my chin. I hear her breathe deeply and she visibly relaxes. Of course she would. I'm the only one who'd get into bed with her with pure intentions.

"Natsu, why do you smell like my house?" She asks me, her voice quiet.

I laugh, she wasn't a Dragon Slayer but she had pretty keen senses. When I claim her, they'll be even better.

"I was there the whole time you were away." There was no point in lying to her, she could see through my lies so easily. She snuggles into my chest and I pull her even closer I sigh contentedly but it was so quiet I doubt she heard me. Mavis, I missed this.

"You better have kept it clean."

"Mmm." I nuzzle her neck affectionately and can practically feel her muscles unknotting themselves. "Sleep Luce." I murmur the words into her neck. She tilts her face upwards slightly and can I feel her warm breath on the underside of my chin. Her eyes close and I pull back to see her face. Her nose is still a bit blue, unable to help myself I brush my lips over it and the unconscious Lucy shivers. I put my lips to her cheek and smile. One of her arms is wrapped around my neck and the other is resting on my chest. Her hand feels just right, the way our bodies fit together perfectly her curves into my body and the way she likes my unnatural heat. She never said so but I knew she did, they way she always hugged me tightly when she was sleeping. She nestles closer and her scent hits me full force. I put my nose at the junction of her neck and drag the tip of my nose up her own. She sighs contentedly and I grin. She is much warmer now but her lips are still speckled blue. I rub my thumb over them a little and her mouth parts under my touch. I find myself staring at them dying to press mine against them. I lean in and… STOP! I jerk back. You can't do that! You can't kiss her without her permission. That's very, very, very bad. A terrible idea! She would hate you forever. But… I think back to a few months ago when I had kissed her. She hadn't minded, but I felt bad. I had pretended to be drunk and almost forced myself on her. She had kissed me back but… I'll apologise later. I think. I lean my cheek against hers and sigh. Her soft breath soothes me and I eventually fall asleep.
