Okay sooooo, I messed up by posting today's prompt yesterday, so my solution is posting yesterday's prompt today, I'm so sorry!
Lucy was only his friend and that's all she would ever be, it upset her yes but what could she do? She didn't want to lose him completely so she admired him from a not-so-far distance. Little did she know Natsu found it hard to behave when someone from the street flirted with her or, how he hated when he used her looks to get discounts on train tickets.
It was the last straw another sleaze bag tried to get into her pants, it's been five in the last hour when will they take the hint? Each and every time Lucy pushed them away with the nagging voice in her head that that special place was reserved for a pink haired idiot. Natsu deciding he had enough stepped in front of her shocking the other male. "Natsu?" Refusing to respond he shoved the now annoyed second man after he tried walking around him.
"What's wrong with you, it's not like you're her boyfriend!" Faltering a bit at the comment he soon retaliated with a punch.
"You're right I'm not but, I highly doubt she wants you as her boyfriend!" Running away with a broken nose the sleaze bag off the streets muttered incoherent words. Turning around with a smile he raised his hands up in a cheer only to be smacked on the head. "Ow! what was that for?" Scowling the blonde puffed her cheeks out and crossed.
"You can't just punch someone because they're hitting on me!" Although she wouldn't admit it the act made her heart flutter, there were only a few things something like that could point to. "Why would you care anyway?" Her face softening into a small smile, she just couldn't stay mad at him not at all.
Blushing slightly he knew he had to come up with an excuse fast, he was not willing to tell her how he felt just yet. "Well, uhhh you're my best friend and I wouldn't want you to end up dead on the road side because of some creep. Yeah." Moments later there was laughter to be heard echoing throughout the street. "W-what?" His cheeks reddening with embarrassment he turned away in hopes of hiding it although it was night time.
"That wouldn't happen to me, you know I would never agree to anything like that." Wiping the tears out of the corners of her eyes. "whatever let's go I believe I promised you some dinner." Natsu's ears perked up at the statement and he was quickly back to his usual self.
Watching as the moonlight reflected off of the blond's porcelain skin he mentally punched himself, if only he had the courage to confess to her he might be known as her boyfriend by tomorrow. As they came up to her house Natus opted for the window instead of the door making the house owner groan with annoyance, however choosing not to say anything she walked straight into her kitchen and began pulling out the ingredients for lasagna. "I'm making lasagna." She said hoping his superb hearing would be enough to pick up on it.
"Huh? Oh okay." While she was starting to cook Natsu was stuck in his thoughts, he knew it was long overdue but he always got stuck watching her from afar. This reminded him of the time he had asked her to come meet him under the sakura tree at night, he had a solid resolve to confess to her then but it all washed away when she showed up in that getup. Frowning at his cowardliness he decided right then and there he would do it tonight no questions asked.
Walking into the kitchen he snuck up to his partner and encased her waist, leaning his head on her shoulder he followed her swaying movements. "N-Natsu?" The blonde blushing at their intimate position stuttered to her dismay, although she did quite enjoy it.
Leaning his head closer to the crook of her neck he whispered into her hear. "I need to tell you something." Smiling as he noticed her shiver along with the hairs on the back of her neck standing up.
"W-what do you need to tell me." She was in the middle of pouring the second layer of sauce over the uncooked noodles when he spun her around to face him causing her to drop it back into the pan of tomato soup, sighing in relief when she saw that there wasn't a mess. This time both of his arms caged her in as he had both hands placed on either side of her touching the counter. Taking as a step forward to force her against it, he smiled at the fact that she was reacting this way to her, so far so good.
Leaning down once again he moved one hand under her chin to make her look up, their faces were now only millimeters apart causing them to feel each other's hot breaths against their cool skin. (In Natsu's case warm skin.) "I. Like. you." His voice came out low and husky although clear, he had made sure to say each word slowly not wanting any misunderstandings to crush his confidence. Staring into Lucy's eyes waiting for an answer his eyes flickered to her lips for a fraction second. moving just another millimeter closer to her flustered face to test the waters.
Watching his face move closer her eyes flickered to his full and chapped lips, resisting the urge to lick hers she leaned in just a bit to make sure this was really what he wanted. After getting no negative responses she wasted no more time and pressed her lips to his fully, what started as a sloppy first kiss for both of them soon became more when Natsu's lips parted for his tongue to brush against her plump lips. Willingly opening for him he swallowed her moan as their tongues danced in an unsynchronized dance. Pulling apart for air Natsu smiled at what this implied. "So I take it you like me back."
"No." Smiling at his saddened and shocked expression she cupped his cheeks. "I love you." His face brightening exponentially he cleared his throat before looking to his side, he couldn't believe after what they just did he was still embarrassed to ask but he had to.
"So, will you be my girlfriend?" Instead of answering she pressed her lips against his again, pulling away sooner than either of them would have liked he leaned his forehead to hers with gentleness some would say impossible to find in him. "I take it that's a yes?"
"No." Smiling at what would surely become their personal joke. "That's a hell yes." Leaning in for one last kiss she soon turned back to her food, in hindsight neither of them would stop admiring each other considering the fact that that he was still watching her movements from behind.
You know it's somewhat ironic, the prompts that I have the most trouble coming up with ideas for are the ones that turn out the best... So I would say although posted on the wrong date and WAYYY too late it's the best one so far. Also, cut me some slack I'm actually writing this the day I post them so I'm extremely stressed. Anyway Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it
