Prompt: Fired up

Title: Exploration

A/N: Definite M-rated activities within.


Dating was a strange concept to Natsu. Not to say that he didn't understand anything about it. He knew that when you liked someone as more than a friend it was customary to "go out", usually to restaurants and movies or some other place to "get to know each other better". He knew people did it to find that special someone that they wanted to marry and have kids with. Natsu also knew that dating could be a long process, with someone taking years and several dates with many different people before they found the one that fit them.

From the older men of the guild, he learned that dating had a secret private side—there was no shortage of perverts in the guild who liked to brag up their conquests, giving Natsu more than enough detail about what to expect when things moved to the more intimate part of a couple's relationship.

As interesting as those stories were, dating had just never really appealed to him. He'd had more important things to think about, for a long time that was finding Igneel again. Even after he met Lucy and eventually realized that he himself liked her as more than a friend, he was in no hurry to enter into a romantic relationship with her.

At that time, he still had other things he had to finish first. His goal of finding Igneel taken from him suddenly, his goal shifted to defeating Zeref and Acnologia. It was a serious time in his life, not really the time for asking Lucy out, especially when he'd had no idea if Lucy felt the same about him.

After the events of the Dragon King Festival were over and he finally had the knowledge that Lucy loved him as much as he loved her, Natsu was fully prepared to just go ahead and marry her. Why bother with dating Lucy, he reasoned, when he already knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her anyway?

Knowing Lucy as he did though, he made the effort to give it a try. Lucy seemed to like all that traditional stuff, that being what she was taught as a kid.

It was tough at first, being on his best behavior when they went out, trying to convince Lucy that he was a good bet. It was kind of strange too, considering that most of what they did on these dates of theirs was just the same thing they did before they started going out. Really, the only changes were that Happy wasn't always with them, there was a lot more hand-holding, and he was allowed to kiss Lucy every day.

It had been a couple of months into their relationship, and like most nights after a date, Natsu found himself on Lucy's couch, his girlfriend held within his arms as things started to get a little more heated.

He loved making out with Lucy. Everything about her was soft and warm—her lips, her skin, and especially her breasts. It was nice to finally be able to touch her there, that Lucy was comfortable enough with him that she permitted it. Lately she even went so far as to place his hands there, as if she desired the fondling as much as he did. There were so many times in their past where Natsu ended up touching her chest purely by accident (and admittedly a few times that definitely weren't) that it was like the universe wanted him there. It was great to finally be on the same page.

As much as he hated to admit it, he knew he needed to go home soon. Lucy's kisses were doing things to him that if left unchecked, would lead to a big, embarrassing problem. She was way too good at exciting him, firing him up in a sexual way; he didn't want to push further in their relationship than what Lucy was comfortable with. He had been letting her lead them, willing to wait until she was ready for the next step.

Natsu broke the kiss and was about to voice his plans, when something in Lucy's expression stopped him. Her eyes seemed sad to him, and by the set of her mouth, he thought she wanted to say something.

"Lucy? What's wrong?"

"It's...nothing." she answered, not meeting his eyes.

"Lucy, I know it's not nothing." he said, frowning. "You know you can always tell me anything, right?"

"Well, it's just..." she began, still not meeting his eyes, but by the tell-tale blush coming to her cheeks, Natsu could tell that she wasn't trying to be evasive, but instead was embarrassed by what she was going to say.

"Natsu, do you think I'm...sexy...at all?"

Natsu couldn't help it, he burst out laughing. Lucy turned away quickly, hiding her face from him. When he smelled salt in the air, he knew he'd made a mistake. He reined in his amusement, turned Lucy's head to face him and cupping her face in his hands, wiped away the few tears on her face with the pads of his thumbs.

He sighed. "Yes, of course, Lucy."

"Yes?"

"Lucy, you're very sexy to me. No other person has ever fired me up the way you can." He didn't want to go into too much detail. Lucy didn't need to know yet about just how much he wanted to peep on her naked body during their training camp, nor after her fight with Flare. Really, he had no idea why he'd had such a strong urge to do that at the time. More than her body and face, which he already knew was extraordinarily beautiful (he wasn't an idiot, he could tell when a girl was prettier than normal), it was her intelligent mind, her kindness, her love of Fairy Tail, her ability make friends with everyone she met, her sense of fun, in essence her "Lucy-ness" that held his heart captive and made him want her to be his in all ways.

It was kind of funny to him that she was still insecure about how much she attracted him. He thought he'd been quite obvious actually in showing his attraction. But, he supposed since he didn't usually talk about it...maybe Lucy really hadn't known.

"Really?" she asked, brightening.

He nodded, quirking a smile. "You really have no idea how hard it is for me to not pounce on you every time we're together, do you?" Realizing something, his smile faltered for a moment. "Were you...wanting me to?"

Lucy blushed and looked away. "W-well, maybe not pouncing, per say, but I really expected you to make some sort of a move by now."

"Just tell me what to do and I'll do it, Lucy." Natsu replied, turning her head to face him again. He heavily believed that direct eye contact was best when he wanted to talk seriously with someone.

"I-I'd like to do some exploring!" She said, the words bursting forth. Lucy then blushed scarlet at her forwardness.

"Exploring? I like that, it's like an adventure! 'Kay Lucy, let's explore! What should we do first?"

"Well, I thought maybe we could start by removing some of our clothes?" Lucy suggested hesitantly.

"I'm keeping my panties on though! I'm not quite ready for that yet!" She quickly added, and Natsu was okay with that. Full sex could wait.

Natsu thought that this would be especially easy on his part. He was used to seeing Lucy's naked body, it having been a weekly occurrence for most of their friendship.

He didn't know why, but for the first time as he watched Lucy undress, he saw her nudity in a completely different light. It wasn't just the same parts that all girls had that he was seeing. Her legs weren't just two limbs that helped her walk and run; he now noticed that they were long and shapely with a pleasant ratio of fat to muscle. He already knew they were strong from her kicks, but now he wondered just how tightly they could wrap around his waist. Her hips and waist no longer looked like everyone else's; now she had the loveliest curves, from the almost imperceptible ones of her stomach to the generous ones where her waist and hips met. Instantly, he thought they'd make for excellent handholds; he could picture himself gripping her hips roughly, pressing Lucy's body closer to his. Her tits, already a favorite of his to touch, looked all the more inviting outside the confines of her shirt and bra.

Yep, this was definitely different from every other time she had been naked before him. This was his girlfriend's body now. This was the body of the girl he'd been kissing and touching, the one who wanted him to touch her even more intimately.

"N-Natsu! W-why are you staring like that?" Lucy asked, beginning to cover her nipples with her arms, shy from Natsu's intense gaze.

"Sorry, I know I've seen you naked like a million times already, it's just...kinda different from all the other times, y'know?"

Lucy bobbed her head in agreement, blushing and nervously squeaked out, "I know what you mean."

Natsu continued where he had left off in disrobing. Lucy's nude form certainly had distracted him, as well as doing something else. The hard-on that he had been fighting to keep away during their make-out session was now very prominent in his pants. It would be even more obvious just how turned-on he was if he kept on his boxers—they'd do nothing to hide his bulge. Shrugging, he decided to just take it all off. Lucy would eventually see him hard and erect anyway; there was no time like the present to get her acclimated to the sight.

Lucy gasped when he pulled off both pants and boxers together, his engorged cock springing free to jut out in front of him.

"So big." she whispered, quiet enough that a normal man wouldn't have caught it. Natsu, with his dragon senses however, heard every word and smiled at the compliment to his manhood. Now if only he could get rid of the sudden nervousness he had; he really, really wanted to please Lucy—to make her feel good—and his inexperience in these matters was doing nothing for his confidence.

They came together once again, Lucy straddling Natsu as he sat on her couch once again. The feel of the hard little pebbles of her nipples against the skin of his chest was so indescribably better when there were no clothes between them. Her clothed core rubbed wonderfully against his rigid shaft as they kissed more passionately now; Lucy's movements inflamed him—he wanted her so badly already.

He touched her all over, enjoying the smoothness of her skin. She was slightly squishy in places, her hips for example; his fingers sunk in to the pliant flesh as he gripped her there with one hand, rocking her against his erection.

His other hand came up to fondle one of her breasts, experimentally pinching a nipple. He was rewarded with a buck of Lucy's hips and a gasp of surprise. Liking her reaction, he explored some more, pulling, twisting, and flicking the pink bud. He experimented with how much pressure to apply, learning just how much was needed to get Lucy mewling between kisses and grinding into his lap.

His moved the hand holding her hip, gliding it upward along the curve of her waist, stopping when it reached the breast he had been neglecting, grasping it in his hand. He quite liked the weight of it and the malleable quality of the flesh there.

Breaking their kiss, both of them panting hard, Natsu's eyes shifted back and forth from Lucy's eyes to her chest within his hands. He began lowering his head, hesitantly, keeping in eye contact with Lucy, ready to back off at a single word from her.

His lips touched her nipple, kissing it first. Sticking out his tongue, he gave it a tentative lick before enveloping it into his mouth. Lucy responded by clasping his head closely to her bosom, threading her fingers into Natsu's rosy pink locks.

Lucy bucked more wildly now, moaning loudly with each pull of his teeth on her sensitive peak. He could feel her panties dampening against his cock, the warm wetness touching him, making his erection painfully hard.

He paused in his actions, gritting his teeth, trying to soften his stiffness by will alone.

Lucy noticed immediately, stopping when he did to look at him in concern.

"Are you alright, Natsu?" she asked, searching for the evidence for his distress.

"S'okay, Lucy." he said, pushing out the breath he'd been holding. "You've just got me too fired up, if you know what I mean."

"Oh." she replied automatically and then gazing down at his "problem", let out another "Oh!", this time her face flushing crimson.

Lucy said nothing while Natsu tried thinking unsexy thoughts to calm himself. Unfortunately, nothing was working; he was going to have to excuse himself to take care of it in the bathroom.

"Can I try something?" Lucy asked. Natsu looked up at Lucy's face; it was even redder than before.

"There's something I read in one of Erza's books that I've been wanting to try." Although heavily embarrassed, Lucy had a definite air of determination about her person. Natsu was willing to try whatever she had in mind, as long as it was voluntary on her part.

His girlfriend slid off his lap, coming to rest in a kneeling position between his spread legs.

"I don't know if I'll be any good at this," she said, "but I think you'll still like it. All the other girls said I should try it."

And with that, Lucy leaned forward and wrapped her bountiful mounds around his thick length. He groaned at the sensation of being encased within her bosom. The sight of the head of his dick poking out of her cleavage was incredibly hot to him. Then she made things even better, moving her tits up and down in his lap, his penis sliding along her slightly sweaty chest, the grip of her breasts tight and warm. Her eyes never left his, making the act seem even more intimate and erotic than it already was.

"Ah, Lucy!" he said, grunting with pleasure as he thrusted into her bust, his hands moving to lay on top of hers, grasping them, adding more pressure and helping her move along his dick faster and faster. With how turned-on he already was, what she was currently doing, and his inexperience, he knew he wasn't going to last long.

With one particularly hard thrust, Natsu's tip of his dick poked Lucy in the chin. Surprisingly, she seemed to take it in stride, and only blushed a little at the contact. His girlfriend then took him completely by surprise again when a few thrusts later, she angled her chin and enveloped the head of his cock within her mouth.

The warm, wet heat of her mouth did him in. Before he had a chance to warn her, Natsu was emptying himself into her, riding out the most powerful orgasm he'd ever experienced.

Masturbation couldn't even compare. He was in heaven.

"Sorry...Lucy..." he panted, his eyes fluttering dreamily as he lay relaxed against the back of the couch. "That was just...too much."

"It's okay, Natsu. I think you need more fruit and vegetables in your diet though. It was pretty salty."

Natsu peeked an eye open, smiling at how awesome his girlfriend was. How did he ever manage to get so lucky?

She smiled back at him, looking pretty damn pleased with herself. It was a good look for her. He liked confident Lucy.

He felt damn good. That release was just what he needed, and now he wanted to make Lucy feel that way too.

Leaning forward some, Natsu hugged her around the waist and lifted her to lay on her back next to him. He shifted his own body, laying on top of Lucy's to deliver a warm, wet kiss directly to her mouth.

He moved to her earlobe and neck, licking and lightly biting her flesh. Lucy shivered when his breath ghosted across her skin.

He then began kissing down the length of her body, paying special attention to both breasts, suckling both nipples into his mouth in turn.

Natsu moved down to her trim waist, dipping his tongue into her navel and making Lucy giggle when he sucked hard on the side of her stomach, wanting to make her laugh; leaving a hickey there was an additional benefit.

Soon, it was before him—her panty clad cleft. The dampness seemed more pronounced than ever and the smell coming from her was exquisite.

"Lucy, can I?" Natsu asked, his fingers tracing the waistband of her panties, coming to rest on the sides as he hooked them underneath, a request to take them off.

He held her gaze, waiting for the okay, her face immediately flushing crimson. She eagerly nodded her consent, bobbing her head up and down several times. Words escaped her at the moment, but the lust in her eyes spoke volumes about what she currently wanted.

Natsu savored taking Lucy's panties off. It was the first time he'd ever had Lucy's express permission to do so and he wanted to commit the act to memory.

Panties removed, he stared for a long while at the area between Lucy's legs. He had caught glimpses of it before from several instances of Lucy unintentionally being naked in front of him, usually only seeing the short blonde curls there. The single time he had got a better look, when he held her by the ankle upside down after a failed "Lucy kick" and her towel subsequently fell off, was abruptly ended when Lucy's other foot had connected with his head, making him drop her to the floor. Being able to take his time and look all he wanted now was so much better than all those other times combined.

Her vagina was sort of pretty, in its own way; it reminded him of certain flowers he had seen, the lips very much looking like plump petals. It had something else in common with flowers—an attractive scent. Unlike flowers, however, this scent affected him in a way that no other smell ever had.

He felt his dick begin to harden again, Lucy's aroma of arousal firing him up once more.

"You'll tell me if I do anything you don't like, right?" he asked, the set of his brow serious. He needed Lucy to be honest with him, so he knew what worked and what didn't for the future.

A nod of her head and Natsu gave his first tentative lick at her nether regions. Pleased at the taste and texture of Lucy, pleased at the sounds that issued from Lucy as he continued, Natsu finally understood where the sex-obsessed guys of the guild were coming from.

He could definitely get used to this.
