Every part of Lucy's body ached. Her head was pounding, noise made her ears throb and her eyes burned. Her stomach rolled and clenched, making her think she was going to heave every two minutes. Worst of all was the constant pulsing between her thighs. With a soft hiss, Lucy sank into her tub, the hot water instantly working magic on her malfunctioning body. Lethargically she piled her hair on top of her head, and then leaned back resting her neck on the curved edge. Finally, she felt like she could think in peace.
Lucy found herself sliding deeper into the tub with a heavy sigh. The movement caused the ache between her legs to pick back up and twin splotches of color to dot her cheeks. Waking up sticky between her legs had confused the hell out of her until she'd realized Natsu seemed in a great mood. Lucy could only stare at the pink haired demon in shocked disgust as he glided around her kitchen and whistled.
" 'Who woulda thought you had a cute side when ya drunk luce'," the blonde found herself mocking Natsu angrily as she sat up abruptly and lathered up her loofah. " 'You couldn't keep your hands offa me'," she finished with a hiss. How could he talk to her like that? Just because she was drunk doesn't mean he had the right to take advantage of her. She wasn't asking for anything nor was she looking for him to view her as cute. Lucy could admit that this situation was getting extremely out of hand but had no idea of how to rectify it. This wasn't going to end well and with that thought floating around in her head she jerkily washing herself off; for once there was no relaxation in the act of taking a bath. Instead, all her worries were starting to swirl around the water like her strawberry scented soap.
"URG!"Lucy groaned loudly while slapping the water in front of her. The blonde recoiled when the water splashed back directly into her face. The sudden movement caused the space between her legs to protest and had her sliding completely under the surface, submerging her head and secretly hoping to drown. It was hard for Lucy to admit that the pulsing between her legs was…kind of nice if not a bit annoying. Would she ever say that out loud? Absolutely not. Slowly resurfacing, Lucy found herself blushing furiously as she slid her hand down her stomach and gently rubbed her clit.
"Luce are you done yet?" Had the blonde yanking her hand away from herself with a scream. The door opened and Natsu popped his head in only to duck when a shampoo bottle flew in his direction. "What the fuck Luce?"
"WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO COME IN WHILE IM IN THE TUB?"
"I was asking if you were done! I was just trying to see why ya were screamin'."
"I screamed because you startled me." Lucy shrieked back, far too embarrassed to admit that she was touching herself. With a shaky sigh she pulled the plug from the drain and slipped out of the tub quickly wrapping a towel around herself. Her current experimentation didn't help with the ache between her legs. Gathering her courage and holding her head high she marched out of her bathroom and straight into her closet, not paying Natsu any attention. She was going to pretend like everything was fine…because it was. Obviously.
oOo
Natsu was in a great mood after slacking off his lust on his unsuspecting Lucy. Part of him realized it was a shitty thing to do but another part of him couldn't care less. He liked touching her. He liked sticking his dick in her and damnit he was going to do it as often as he wanted…even if it meant being a little underhanded about it. The pinket found himself whistling as he stalked after Lucy while she floated around the house, distracted. He found himself grinning when she blushed and shifted around uncomfortably before she stood up and declared she was going to take a bath.
Oh, he couldn't help himself from attempting to walk in on her when her chaotic mumbling seemed to be taking a turn towards arousal? He almost confirmed it before a shampoo bottle came hurdling towards his head and he had to duck and shut the door behind him. Now here Natsu stood, whistling enthusiastically as Lucy distractedly thumbed through her closet looking for something to wear. He watched appreciatively as she nibbled on her bottom lip and the death grip her hand had on the front of the towel tightened. When her thighs started to rub together, he started laughing but quickly smothered his amusement with a faked coughing fit. He was going to get her to admit she was turned on and have fun while he did.
"Ya look like ya got a lot on your mind, Luce," Natsu said around clearing his throat. It took everything in him not to laugh again when her head snapped in his direction and her eyes looked a little guilty. A little defiant.
"Why would you think that?" the blonde huffed, turning back to her clothes. Her foot tapping in annoyance as she regarded a dress but then shook her head and turned to riffle through the folded pants on the shelf to the right.
"I've never seen you take so long to decide on what to wear."
"hm." Was all he got in response. She was determined to ignore him, but he wasn't going to let that happen. Silently he stepped up behind Lucy, reaching around her to finger the fabric of a navy dress hanging in front of her.
"This one is cute, Luce." Natsu smiled widely when he felt her tense and look at him over her shoulder. "No?" He played up his boyish charm, attempting to seem naïve to the reaction he elicited.
"Of course it's cute, it's in my closet but I think I'm going to go for pants today…it's supposed to be colder." Lucy huffed haughtily, seeming to relax at his expression before turning quickly and shoving him back out of the closet. "Don't sneak up on me again Natsu," the blonde hissed before shutting the door in his face. He could only blink at the door that was now blocking his view of his favorite plaything.
"You've got an attitude today, Princess," Natsu snorted moving away from the door and circling around her bedroom. His palms were itching to burn down the door. She didn't need privacy. They were partners after all. Besides he loved looking at her. Wanted to constantly look at her. Touch her. With a groan he fell back on her mattress, listening to her slide on her clothes and gasp. At least he wasn't the only one struggling with his emotions, that made it all a little more bearable.
The creaking of the closet door opening recaptured Natsu's attention. He watched in fascination as Lucy stepped out, flushed and fiddling with the button closure on her jeans. She was clearly uncomfortable, her eyes glancing at his crotch before bouncing away. She flushed even more and that had him grinning internally. "You don't look too good," The drake injected concern into his voice while sitting up quickly and frowning at her, "You feeling sick?" When Lucy continued to blink at him he shot up and crossed the room to her, placing a hand on her forehead. "Earth to Luce…"
"Huh?" Brown eyes locked onto his before shyly dropping to his mouth and staying there. Her hands went from fiddling with her button to moving up his chest and shoving lightly. "I'm fine, Natsu."
"You feel kinda warm Luce,"
"I'm fine," she practically whispered, her fingers curling into the material of his shirt. "I can't breathe, you're too close."
"You sure you aren't sick? You've been acting weird all morning," Natsu chuckled, the hand on her forehead moving to the nape of her neck and tugging her closer, "You ain't gunna faint…right?" The only response he got was a gasp and her fingers tightening on his shirt.
oOo
"..Lucy." The hand on the back of her neck was warm. It wasn't helping her clear the fog in her brain. She'd realized she'd made a mistake the second she pulled the jeans over her legs and buttoned them closed. Too tight, to close to her sensitive….she shook her head, displacing that thought and looked up into Natsu's eyes again. This time he was closer, the look in his eyes one of serious concern now. She noted there was still mischief in the depths though but for once that didn't detour her; Lucy was more surprised by the softening of his features when he looked at her like that, he was almost boyish. Less alarming.
"Earth to Lucy!" Natsu commented while gently knocking his forehead against hers. The blonde sucked in a startled breath but found she couldn't make a sound. Her focus was stuck between her legs…on his mouth…she was craving…what? She didn't want to admit it to herself but he had done something to her body and she felt like she was on fire.
"Natsu…" Lucy managed pant. Her throat felt like it was swollen, "I don't…know what's wrong with me," was admitted lowly. It cost her and the price was evident when his eyes darkened.
"What's wrong Luce? You can tell me," her pink haired tormenter practically purred. She shivered when he brushed his mouth gently against hers, the touch almost feather light. "Your face is turning red…" Lucy's scrambled lizard brain demanded she close the distance between the two of them and kiss him. The same part of her brain was screaming self-preservation and that this was some form of Stockholm syndrome. Self-preservation won out and she found herself pushing more urgently on his chest and turning her face away from him, screwing her eyes shut.
"You're too close, making it hard for me to think." She ground out, trying to get her wayward thoughts under control. Lucy found herself chanting that this wasn't normal, nothing about this situation and her desire was right, in her mind. She felt like screaming. What had he done to her?
"Woah there, calm down! I'm just trying to make sure you're okay," Natsu half laughed as his grip on her neck tightened subtly. She felt her breath hitch when his mouth brushed the spot under her ear. "You're burnin' up Luce."
"You have no idea," the blonde couldn't stop herself even if she wanted. The phrase slipped out and she could feel the change in his demeaner, though he didn't make a move that would indicate he understood her. Was he playing with her? "I need some breathing room, Natsu." Lucy found herself practically whining but she couldn't get her fingers to let go of his shirt. She was holding on to him for dear life and there was no way to stop.
"I'd step back if you'd let me, Luce." His chuckle skated down her spine, had her practically arching into him before she could stop herself. She felt the second he moved away from her neck to regard her, even though her eyes were closed. She could only imagine how red her face was…how desperate she looked.
"What did you do to me..?"
"What was that?" The tone of his was curious. He had to be messing with her.
"What did you do to me? What's happening to me?" Lucy found herself repeating louder, her eyes snapping open to glare into onyx eyes accusingly. She was sexually frustrated and he damn sure was going to take the brunt of her anger. How dare he mess with her in such a way, toy with her emotions and her body. "You did something to me last night and I just…can't shake this feeling." Her voice broke at the end and it took everything in her not to lash out physically, "I don't have anyone else to turn too to help me with this, with you. Levy won't answer my calls and…and…what did you do to me?" ended on a whisper.
"Feeling? I don't understand Luce. What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to you last night besides hold you. You're the one that got all clingy. Couldn't keep your hands off of me." Natsu responded, the humor evident in his voice.
"I…" Lucy started to protest but had vague flashes of memory from the previous night. Of flinging herself at him to get away from the touchy man she was supposed to be doing business with. At feeling content to be carried by him. Remembered how warm he was. She blushed even more but kept her glare trained on him. "Don't remember what happened last night. I just…remember waking up with…" She stuttered.
"With?" the drake prompted, gently squeezing her nape and smiling.
"I woke up sticky…and I just…what did you do?"
"I'm still not following Luce, you're starting to make me worry here." She realized he was going to make her say it. How could he all of a sudden be so dense and naïve? It was driving her crazy. She blinked when he lowered his head again and brushed his mouth against hers gently, fighting the urge to bare her teeth at him.
"What did you do to me last night? I don't remember! I just remember waking up sensitive between…" She stuttered and then took a deep breath, "my legs. It won't go away. I tried to take a bath. I…I can't take it anymore. What did you do to me last night?!" She watched a fire light behind his eyes and he seemed to purr, the easy going boyish demeaner he had instantly flipped and her mouth went dry.
"You wanna know that bad? How about I show you?"
