Notes2: somehow i forgot I am the one who wrote this and i'm like damn.., this is good! LOLOL anyways…


Chewing on her lip, Lucy suddenly felt nervous and shy as she drove up the rather long and empty road up to the Dragneel residence. Ever since her little wet dream, she couldn't sleep nor was she able to contain her embarrassment inside of her. She felt like she was going to burst and maybe even die. If Natsu didn't kill her—she was going to die of embarrassment.

She kept replaying her dream over and over again, and she could not contain herself as she touched herself this morning, wondering how did she even end up in a situation like this?

And this entire time she thought Zeref would be the one she would be moaning over.

Shivering at the thought of her and the Dragneel brothers, Lucy let out a deep sigh as she pulled up to the large house. Sitting in her seat, she prepared for yet another day of avoiding death.

How was she even supposed to even look at the guy after their fight yesterday and her wet dream last night?

It made her squirm in her seat as she gathered her purse, stepping out of the car to approach the home. She smiled to herself as she noticed such a change from three days ago—from the power washed home to the spotless porch, her hard work was coming along. Making a mental note to trim the hedges today, her proud smile vanished as she saw the twenty-six year old man on the porch smoking, again. The creek of the wooden stairs caught his attention as he whipped his head to look at the blonde who froze in her spot as she could feel the embarrassment creep up.

The silence was extra loud between them as they looked at each other, awkwardness slicing through.

"G—g—good morning!" Lucy sputtered, beet red.

Nastu didn't respond as he took a puff of his roll-up, turning back around to lean against the porch railing.

It made her scowl, suddenly remembering how much she disliked this man and allowing her to calm down and creep behind him to enter the home. She closed the door behind her, looking around as she listened for Zeref.

"Hello?" Lucy called out, setting her purse down at the entry table. "Zeref?"

Coming into the kitchen, Lucy found a note on the counter along with a list. She noticed Happy had come into the kitchen, meowing hello to her as she crouched down to give him some pets as she read the note.

Good Morning Lucy! I had to go in extra early this morning. Natsu has not had breakfast, yet, so please make sure to make him something to eat as soon as you get there. Also, please head to the store sometime today and pick up some food for our newest member! I will be home around dinner time as usual. Have a great day!

Sighing at the note, Lucy frowned to herself as she realized she was alone with Natsu from the start. Usually she starts her morning with Zeref and it is able to help her handle the angry giant upstairs but now, she was worried there isn't any cushion for her day. Taking a deep breath in, Lucy went to grab the apron in the corner and put it on, getting ready for her day. First, she had to make some breakfast and then start her day of chores and grocery shopping yet again.

Opening the fridge to see a well-stocked, organized fridge, Lucy grabbed some eggs and milk to begin her day. As she was bent over to grab a mixing bowl from underneath, she turned around to come face-to-face with Natsu who was just scowling at her.

It made her jump and squeal, clutching the bowl to her chest as her eyes widened in fear.

"I'm hungry, how long are you going to take?"

Feeling her heart skip a beat inside her chest, Lucy's entire face went red as she looked at the male in front of her. His same annoyed, angry expression was painted across his face as he waited for a response from her but she couldn't utter a single word out as she suddenly remembered her dream, again. He reeked like marijuana and towered over her, the blonde reeling her neck upwards to stare at him.

"I asked a fucking question." He snapped, making Lucy flinch a bit.

"I—I—" she gulped, stepping back from him. "I'm making it right now." She squeaked out, straightening herself. "I just got here—"

"I didn't ask." He cut her off, turning around to walk away from her. "Let me know when food is ready."

And just like that, he was gone making her stand in the kitchen alone. Her heart raced inside her chest and she felt hot, sweat forming on her hairline as she took a couple deep breaths in.

"Get it together, Lucy," she muttered to herself, closing her eyes to focus on her breathing before placing the mixing bowl down. "It was just a dream." She uttered to herself over and over again as she began to imagine Natsu on top of her naked. It made her squeal as her entire face grew red, again, the blonde smacking herself on the forehead to shake her head back and forth. "What is wrong with you!" She whispered to herself, feeling her heat throb for the male upstairs. Her nipples hardened at the thought and she started to day-dream about having sex with Natsu, the blonde shaking her head rapidly to get the images out of her head. "Get it together!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Lucy whipped around to see the pink-haired male leaning against the doorway, watching her as she sputtered around and accidentally knocked over the empty mixing bowl. It made such a loud noise, Lucy quickly bent down to grab it and hold it against her, again.

"You're being weird, today."

"I—I am not!" Lucy flushed red, her eyes trailing down to eye his body but catching herself to look away to some random wall.

Nastu quirked a brow at her, crossing his arms across his chest.

"Where's my food? I'm hungry and I've been waiting."

"I'm trying—"

"Try harder." He snapped before he turned to walk away, again.

Lucy could only watch his disappearing figure as she flipped him the bird, anger rushing over her body as she so badly wanted to throw the mixing bowl at him. It made Lucy's blood boil as she soon forgot about her wet dream and started to see the real asshole she was meant to keep company. How could she even imagine this asshole and her being intimate when he treats her like this?

Cursing him out inside her head, she got to work as she began to make some pancakes and eggs. Turning on some music on her phone, Lucy got into the motion as she mixed and turned and flipped. Cracking eggs into the pan and grabbing two plates, the blonde began to plate breakfast as she made herself a small portion and another bigger portion for Natsu. As she was coming over to the table to set his plate down, he emerged from nowhere and startled her, again. It made her squeal and he made a face at her, grabbing the plate from her hands. He didn't utter a single word as he disappeared upstairs, once again.

"Asshole," she muttered to herself before grabbing her plate to lean against the counter. She could only push around her food as she ate alone, another sigh flying out of her lips.

She never thought she would be this lonely. Sometimes, she starts to understand why Natsu was the way he was. She would be angry, too.


Wiping the sweat off her forehead, Lucy stood up and stretched her back as she admired her hard work. She spent most of her day trimming the hedges around the house and doing some landscaping after she came back from the store to feed Happy. He was more than happy to accept anything she gave him as he practically gobbled up an entire fish she brought.

Making it a mission to fix up the outside today, Lucy was covered in sweat and dirt as she was on her knees trying to pull out weeds and dead roots. She had made some lunch on the stove for Natsu earlier so she didn't have to come into contact with him anymore and so far her plan had worked. She hasn't seen or heard from him since breakfast and she was trying to keep it that way till Zeref showed up.

She had such mixed emotions running through her body and she had to keep to herself so she didn't make a fool out of herself anymore than she had to.

It felt silly but honestly with her experience and knowledge, she didn't know how to address or talk to someone like Natsu. She wouldn't be around a person like him if she had a choice nor would she put in such effort but she felt like she was doing charity work in a way.

Guess she's just a sucker for people like this or maybe Levy was right and she's just crazy.

Pulling out her phone to look at the time, Lucy sighed as the time was nearing three in the afternoon. She still had hours before Zeref would come home and she was afraid to step foot into the house in case she ran into Natsu again.

And just like she was summoning him, he came outside on the porch again, a roll up tucked behind his ear as he came for his afternoon smoke. Lucy hid behind the bushes as she didn't want to come in contact with him, watching him as he appeared shirtless and in white shorts that barely hung onto his waist making her cheeks glow red. She watched as he grabbed his roll up from his ear and started to light it up, taking small puffs before he took in deep inhale and exhale, smoke emerging from his lips.

It gave Lucy a better look at Natsu as her encounters with him are always so brief and bitter, the blonde watching how his muscles bulged as he moved around. She started to feel hot and bothered, again, seeing how he leaned against the railing of the porch and puffed on his roll. The wind blew on his odd colored hair and he looked a lot more relaxed, a soft sadness mirroring his features.

It made Lucy see him differently as he stood there silently, his scowl never leaving his face but soft enough for her to see his features.

Taking a long deep puff of his marijuana, Natsu let out an exhale before he turned around to face the bush Lucy was hiding in. The blonde jumped and squatted down before he saw her, the eyes squeezed shut in fear.

"Why are you watching me from behind a bush?"

Her worst nightmare coming true brought her back to reality as she slowly stood up to look at the man who was sneering at her from the porch above.

She swallowed thickly and straightened herself, clearing her throat. "I—I didn't mean to. I was j—just trimming—"

"You talk too much." Was all he said as he took another drag. "You're weird."

"I am not!" Lucy countered, a pout forming on her lips. "You came out here when I was here first!"

"This is my house." He just snorted, making her growl at him.

She opened her mouth to say something but shut it, remembering how this man could end her life in an instant. She wanted to just throw a brick at him or something but she had to remember where she was and who she was talking to. Natsu looked like he worked out and if he truly did want to, he could overpower and kill her instantly and nobody would be able to find her body in the middle of nowhere!

She made another mental note to leave Dragneel's address to Levy.

"I don't know what deal you and Zeref have," he paused to take another drag before he exhaled. "But it seems like your job here is about to end considering you cleaned up the majority of this shithole." He waved his hand around to motion to the land.

Lucy just silently stared up at him, somehow finding him attractive as he smoked.

It made her jump as she shook her head, looking away from the male to distract herself further. "So, what?"

"So, meaning, you should be out of here, soon. For good."

Lucy looked back at Natsu with furrowed brows, watching as he took another long drag before he crushed the lit up part against the counter to toss it somewhere in between the bushes. It made her make a face at his action as she looked back at Natsu who looked at her with a blank stare.

"Why do you want me gone so bad?" Lucy asked, making him lean against the railing to eye her. "I'm doing work here. For Zeref and you. I don't bother you and I don't talk to you so I just don't understand why me being here is such a problem for someone like you."

"What is that supposed to mean?" He looked offended. "Someone like me?"

"Yes, someone like you." Lucy repeated a bit more harshly, crossing her arms. "All you do is sulk and shout and smoke pot—you don't do anything around here. You out of all people don't have any right to treat me this way or try to scare me away when all I do around here is help you and your brother."

"Leave Zeref out of this," he snarled, stepping closer to her with his fist clenched. "You don't even fucking know me! You can't say shit about me when you don't even know who I am."

"I know enough. And I also know you're hurting. I'm just trying to help—"

Natsu growled at her as he started to tremble, glaring at the blonde who began to think maybe she should have kept her mouth shut.

"You're just some fucking dumb blonde who is hungry for money and took this stupid job so you can just milk my brother for money and slum around like the bitch you are!"

"Excuse me—?!"

Natsu marched down the stairs as he got in her face, the blonde flinching and stepping backwards to trip over her gardening tools. She fell on her butt with a yelp as Natsu crouched down to grab the front of her shirt, shooting daggers into her brown orbs that started to widen in fear. She smelt smoke and marijuana pool out of his mouth as he leaned in close, their noses practically touching.

"You fucking heard me." He hissed at her, low and harsh. "You're a fucking dumb bitch who has no place here so don't come in here acting like this is your home and you know anything at all."

Lucy swallowed thickly as she stared into the dark eyes of Natsu, the blonde trying to muster up the courage to reply but her throat felt incredibly dry and her eyes started to water.

"So keep your mouthing fucking shut and we won't have a problem." He gave her a push making her upper half hit the ground. He stood up and towered over the blonde who looked up at the male who glared down at her. "I don't need some rich bitch from the city coming to my house telling me what they know or don't know. So, if I were you, I would shut the fuck up."

Silently watching as Natsu turned around to walk back up the stairs, Lucy sat up and took a big breath in.

"My dad left me, too."

Natsu stopped in his tracks as he was halfway up the stairs, his back still facing the blonde as Lucy looked down at the ground with tears in her eyes.

"My mom passed away when I was just a little girl and my dad left me soon after. I don't know where he is but I was only twelve when he left."

SIlence crept in between the couple as Natsu stood with his back to her, the blonde standing up to dust off the dirt caught on her clothes.

"I may not know exactly what you're going through but I've been hurt, too. I understand what it's like to be left behind," Lucy's voice trembled slightly. "But at least you had your brother with you. I had nobody. So, instead of throwing yourself a pity party all the time—get up and do something with yourself."

With that, Lucy went up the stairs to pass Natsu and enter into the house. He watched her back as she disappeared into the house, the male standing there alone and in silence as he took everything in. Clenching his fist, Natsu grabbed the chair that was on the porch and threw it across the yard, screaming in anger and frustration as he let out his emotions.

And with that, he descended down the stairs and disappeared into the forest behind the house.


It was almost seven in the afternoon when Lucy began to worry about Natsu. He didn't return from his journey earlier that morning and Zeref was going to be home soon. She didn't know what to say to him since she knew it was partially her fault he left and why he was so angry.

Well, angrier than usual.

Looking outside the kitchen window, Lucy continued to scan the area for any sight of the pink-haired man as she began to chew on her nails nervously.

When is she supposed to start calling for help? The sun was setting and it was getting dark and she just didn't know what the proper protocols were when it came to missing twenty-six year old angry men. Does she even call someone?

Hearing the tires tracks from outside, Lucy cursed to herself as she realized Zeref just got home and Natsu wasn't.

Did she lie that she didn't know or did she tell him the truth? Would he be mad at her, too?

Pacing back and forth in the kitchen, Lucy didn't even realize Zeref had come inside and was watching her from the doorframe.

"Uh, you alright there, Lucy?" His voice startled her, making her jump about half a mile upwards. He curled a brow at her and she laughed nervously, hugging herself close. "What happened? Did Natsu do something to you?"

"Uh, no—um, actually kind of? I just…" Lucy bit her lip as she turned to look out the window, hoping she would see Natsu, again. When she didn't, she turned back around to look at Zeref with tears in her eyes, the salty liquid streaming down her face.

"Lucy?" He stepped forward, concerned, mirroring his face as he came towards the crying blonde. "What happened?"

"N—Natsu disappeared hours ago and I don't know where he went!" Lucy cried, tears streaming down her face. "W—we had a fight earlier and he pushed me down to the ground and I—"

"Wait, what?" Zeref cut her off. "He pushed you—?"

"I mean I tripped first and he came over and grabbed me and kind of shoved me to the ground after but—"

"Fuck him." He interrupted her, making her stop talking. "I'm so sorry he touched you, Lucy. I'll have a conversation with him about that."

"It's not that, Zeref." Lucy whined. "Natsu is gone! He's missing! He left hours ago and I don't know where he is and I'm so scared something happened!"

Zeref took a deep breath in as he watched the blonde cry in front of him, frustration and annoyance laced in between his words and face.

"Lucy, why don't you head home for the night?" He offered a reassuring smile. "I'll go out and find Natsu."

"But Zeref—"

"And I'm so sorry for what happened. He should never put his hands on you."

Biting down on her bottom lip, Lucy wiped her tears away from her face as he came over and put a hand on top of her golden head. He offered another smile, bigger than the one earlier, and gave her a thumbs up.

"The hedges outside are looking great! You're really starting to whip this place into shape. You should head home—you had a long, hard day. Don't worry about Natsu, I think I know where he might be. I'll see you tomorrow, alright?"

Lucy just gave him a nod as she sniffled, her cheeks and nose painted red as she finished crying. Going over to grab her purse, Lucy offered a weak smile at the older Dragneel. "Please be careful. I have dinner made and all set for you two to eat." Lucy motioned at the dining room table for Zeref to see the whole spread. "I'll see you tomorrow… and…" she trailed off, a frown coming to her lip. "Tell Natsu I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? He hurt you today—"

"I said some things I shouldn't have and started it." Lucy cut him off, shaking her head. "Just let him know I'm sorry."

Zeref could only watch as Lucy waved goodbye and left the home, the older man letting out a sigh as he narrowed his eyes to the ground. He was pretty sure he knew where he was and it angered him to see he was still acting like a child. And he wasn't so happy that he put his hands on Lucy. Digging into his pocket, Zeref pulled out his pack of cigarettes he carried and walked outside to light one up. He took a deep puff of his cigarette before he let out the smoke, a sigh flying out his lips. "I'm going to fucking kill you, Natsu." He muttered, walking out into the same woods Natsu disappeared into. He followed a familiar trail and continued walking the dirt path, watching as the sun began to set behind the horizon.

Walking further into the wooded area, Zeref came to a stop as he stood in front of an older tree that had a ladder hanging down from above. He looked up to see the old treehouse he and his brother used to play in when they were younger, the tracks of his younger brother being visible in the dirt.

Zeref took one last puff of his cigarette before he put it out, tossing the bud nearby as he started to climb up the ladder. Once he made it up to the tree house, he saw Natsu facing away from him, looking out to the sunset.

While huffing, Zeref sat down at the edge of the treehouse and ran his hand through his hair, looking up at the colorful sky.

There was a silence between the brothers, the two enjoying the sunset.

"You had Lucy worried." Zeref spoke out. "She was crying when I got home."

Natsu stayed silent, listening to his brother who just sighed, again.

"You shouldn't have put your hands on her."

"She started it." He huffed.

"It doesn't matter, Natsu, you don't put your hands on a woman. Period."

"Well, she had another thing coming."

Zeref felt like all he did nowadays was sigh as he shook his head, closing his eyes to take a minute to calm himself.

"Lucy is trying to help us out, Natsu. How many times do I have to tell you that she is here to help us?"

"She just runs her fucking mouth and doesn't know what the hell she is saying most of the time. She's just another dumb bitch—"

"Natsu." Zeref cut him off, harshly. "I am not going to allow you to talk to or talk about her like that. Lucy is harmless and she is here helping us out in the best way possible. Why can't you just accept that?"

"Because Zeref!" Natsu started to shout, turning around to face his brother. "She talks as if she knows anything about us! About what happened and she doesn't! That's why I'm so fucking angry because she keeps running her mouth!" He raised his voice, throwing his hands everywhere as he punched the wall of the treehouse. The place shook slightly making Zeref grab hold of the doorframe to stabilize himself. "If she's here to help us out then she would just keep her mouth shut and do what she's supposed to do!"

"Natsu, you two are home together all the time. She's bound to get a little lonely and wants to talk and get to know you. Why can't you do the same?"

"Because I don't care." He huffed, crossing his arms across his chest. "I want her gone. She's worse than all the others. At least the others didn't try and talk to me and left after the first day—why is she still here?"

"Because she's strong and determined. She's not going to let you scare her away. She also says she's sorry. I don't know what happened between you two earlier today but you put a real number on her. She really wants you to know she's sorry."

Natsu just sat there in silence again as he and his brother stared at the ground, the sun now set and darkness absorbing the rest of the world.

With another sigh, Zeref got up to start climbing back down the ladder. "Come back inside, Natsu. She just left and I'm hungry. Let's eat."

Waiting for his brother to descend down the ladder, Natsu sighed and followed him back down, the two walking back to their home in the darkness. The walk back home was silent between the two as Natsu noticed how the chair he threw earlier was gone, the mess cleaned up as if it never happened. It made him frown slightly as the two came inside, the kitchen table set up as if there was going to be a family of five dining.

The two came around and sat down at the table, the two opening the lids of the dishes to see delicious home-cooked meals made and ready to serve. Piles of meat and side dishes lined up within each other and utensils set up in the proper places. He noticed a third pair of utensils with a plate across the table to him as he realized it would have been for Lucy if he didn't disappear.

It made him feel bad but he just ignored the feeling and started to dig in, passing plates to Zeref as he plated his own.

Dinner was quiet as the two Dragneel's enjoyed their home-cooked meal they haven't had in such a long time. It felt refreshing and home-y as they were able to eat a meal together like this. It somehow brought them back when they were kids, fighting for the last piece of meat or seeing who finished first so they could start dessert.

Zeref was first to finish as he unbuckled his belt and let out a satisfied sigh, the man rubbing his stomach as if he was five months pregnant.

"She sure knows how to throw it down in the kitchen!" He was first to break the silence, a wide smile on his face.

Natsu silently agreed as he finished up his meal.

Zeref stood up, grabbing his empty plate to walk it over to the sink as he started to come back for the others.

"I'll do the dishes." Natsu said, making Zeref blink in surprise.

"What?"

"I said I'll do the dishes—go wash up."

"Natsu doing dishes?" Zeref said, making Natsu shoot him a look. "What's happened to you?"

"Shut up before I change my mind." He growled, making the older Dragneel grin.

"Well, alright then, buddy, I'm going to go wash up. You know where the dish soap and stuff are right?"

Natsu just huffed in response and allowed Zeref to take that as his answer. He grabbed his briefcase off the counter and left Natsu in the room by himself. The pink-haired Dragneel gathered his empty plate and brought it to the sink, turning on the water to wash off the remains as he went over to the table to get the rest of the plates that had food leftover in them. He placed them on the counter as he went back one more time to gather the rest, the male stopping to stare at the empty seat with utensils and a plate.

He stood there for a minute staring before he scoffed and took the rest to the counter to start the dishes, trying to get the annoying blonde out of his thoughts for once.

"My dad left me, too." Her voice rang in his ears. "I may not know exactly what you're going through but I've been hurt, too. I understand what it's like to be left behind,"

Somehow it made him angry, again, as he started to scrub the plate a little too hard.

"I had nobody."

"Nobody." Natsu muttered to himself as he flipped the plates upside down to have the water drip dry. He scoffed to himself, again, as he pulled the plastic wrap out from under the counter to start covering up the leftovers. As he was trying to pull it apart it kept coming and not ripping properly, making him frustrated, grabbing the roll to chuck it at the wall where it made a loud noise and thud as it hit the floor.

He stood there huffing, watching as the plastic wrap laid on the ground in silence.

Just then, he watched as Happy came out from behind the couch, coming over to investigate what had happened. He watched as the odd colored cat sniffed the plastic wrap before he came over to where Natsu was, brushing against his legs as he purred.

Natsu just scowled as he went over to get the plastic wrap he threw, grabbing the roll to come back to the counter where Happy hopped onto.

He watched as Happy grabbed one of the bones that had meat on it to chew on it, eating it for his dinner.

Staring at him for a minute, Natsu decided to just grab some scissors and cut the plastic wrap to cover the food as he popped them into the fridge one by one. Stopping to look at the nicely organized full fridge, he didn't remember when the last time he saw this fridge so spotless. Now, he was beginning to realize that the entire place kind of looked like that.

It doesn't smell like body odor and trash, anymore, and there weren't bugs or mice crawling around as much. There was always hot food ready for him and he was able to eat and drink without worrying about if they were expired or not.

Closing the refrigerator shut, Natsu huffed to himself as he started to make his way upstairs to his room, again.

Continuing to feel bad for his actions, Natsu kept replaying the scene in his head where he threw Lucy to the ground and spat insults at the poor woman.

For once, he actually was starting to feel like an asshole.

Coming down the hall, Natsu stopped in his tracks as he looked down to see a plate of cookies sitting right outside his door. Chocolate chip cookies. He stared down at the plate by his front door before he bent down to grab the plate, a small note laid on top for him to grab and read.

Your favorite afternoon munchies.

He could only stare at the note as he held onto the plate of cookies, thoughts and emotions swirling in his chest as he looked down at the dessert. It made the corners of his lips curl up slightly as he stood up from his crouched down position, the thoughts of Lucy coming back into his head. Opening the door to enter into the mess of a room, Natsu closed the door shut behind him as he popped a cookie into his mouth.

"Oh, Natsu!" Lucy's moans filled the dark room as the sounds of wet skin came into contact. The repeated sounds of Natsu thrusting into Lucy and Lucy screaming echoed into the darkness as their harsh panting filled the silence.

"Fuck, Lucy," Natsu murmured into her hair as he held her legs up high, thrusting his hip into hers as she screamed in pleasure. "You're so fucking wet."

"Please, Natsu," she begged as he spread her legs wider and held onto her waist, thrusting so deep inside of her she screamed louder. "Please!"

"Please, what?"

"Please," she whimpered, gasping for air as Natsu slowly pulled himself out to thrust into her fast and hard. "More!"

Pressing his pelvis against hers and pushing himself all the way inside, Natsu watched as Lucy's face twisted in pleasure and a bit of pain. Sweat outlined his body as he panted loud and harsh, his arms holding himself up as he felt the blonde's legs tremble against his waist. He watched as she reached upwards and held onto his shoulders, pulling his head down to lock her lips against his as he started to rock his hips, earning moans to spill into his mouth.

The couple kissed hungrily, heat and sweat seeping out of their bodies as the sounds of sopping wet skin slapped against each other.

Feeling Lucy's wall tightening against his rock hard member, Natsu groaned loudly as he was reaching his climax, thrusting in and out harder and faster. Lucy's moans filled his ears as he felt his insides stir, feeling how she throbbed against his cock and couched onto the bedsheets with her life.

"Cum for me, Lucy," Natsu panted out. "I'm going to cum inside of you."

"Yes, Natsu, cum deep inside of me!"

"Lucy!"

Gasping for air, Natsu shot upwards on his bed and sat up in the dark, his harsh breathing filling the room. It took him a minute to process where he was as he looked around his mess of a room, the male drenched from head to toe in sweat as he felt his body tingle in delight. He pulled the blanket up to see his rock hard member poking out of his pants like a pitched tent. He steadied his breathing as he plopped back on his bed, looking up at his ceiling to remember his wet dream he had of Lucy.

Lucy.

Natsu sat up again as he covered his face with his hands, wiping the sweat he had on his hairline. He felt his face grow hot and his cock twitch in excitement, the male groaning as he was starting to feel some type of way, now.

Sitting in the dark for a minute, Natsu slipped off his shorts he had on and looked down at his solid member. He grabbed on and started to stroke, throwing his head back to close his eyes to imagine the blonde he was so deep inside of just in his dreams. He's never had a dream that felt so real and now his cock was twitching with excitement and oozing pre-cum like never before, his hand moving up and down faster as he started to pant faster.

Groaning into the darkness, Natsu held onto his member harder and squeezed, jerking himself faster and faster as he reached his climax.

Panting and catching his breath, Natsu laid in his bed staring up at his wall as warm semen oozed out of his tip. He felt his heart race in his chest as he started to come back from his climax, the male sitting upwards to look for something to wipe himself with before trying to go back to sleep.


Waking up in the morning, Natsu felt incredibly dry as his throat screamed for some water. He sat up and coughed, trying to swallow his spit as he desperately needed something to drink. He reached over to grab the water he had sitting on his nightstands for the past couple days and chugged before he sat on his bed in silence, huffing slightly as he was gaining consciousness into the real world.

Listening to his surroundings, Natsu could hear Zeref's voice as he looked out his window, seeing how Zeref spoke with Lucy who was all smiles to him. He began to remember his little wet dream and he could feel his member twitch in between his legs, the male groaning as he felt sore all of a sudden.

Watching how the two waved goodbye to each other, he watched how Lucy turned around and walked back into his house, his eyes following her figure all the way inside.

He could hear her walking around downstairs as she did whatever, his heart jumping a bit inside his chest. He sat there in silence, thinking to himself as he never truly thought of Lucy as anything but some girl who came into his home but subconsciously his mind was playing tricks on him. He didn't know if it was because he felt so bad about what happened yesterday or if he was just actually so lonely but he felt a tug on his heart when he started to think of her.

He caught a glimpse of the empty plate of chocolate chip cookies on his desk and stared at it before he got up to start his day.

He practiced a little bit on making conversation, hoping he could maybe talk to her or even apologize about yesterday but everytime he tried to say anything out loud he felt like he had a frog in his throat.

Opening his bedroom door, Natsu peeked outside to see the empty hallway and walked out, clearing his throat as he prepared to greet the woman.

He could start to smell something good as he headed downstairs, peeking around each corner just in case he was caught in action. As he approached the kitchen, Natsu peeked his head in to catch a glimpse of the blonde, air suddenly getting caught in his throat.

Lucy was wearing a mini skirt with a tight low-cut shirt, stocking riding high up her leg all the way to her thighs as she wore boots with the outfit. It made him take a good look at her and then he realized why he was subconsciously dreaming about this woman because wow.

He couldn't help but continue to watch her from the corner, seeing how she threw a bunch of ingredients in a bowl and mixed them. He watched as her breasts bounced as she used her arm to mix, his pants suddenly feeling a little bit too tight, again.

Clearing his throat, again, Natsu prepared himself before he walked into the kitchen but as soon as he turned back around to go into the kitchen he bumped right into Lucy who was coming out.

She made a small yelp as Natsu made a grunt, their two bodies colliding as they bounced off each other.

"S—sorry," Lucy muttered with her head casted low. "I—I didn't see you there."

"I—it's fine," Natsu cleared his throat. "It's fine."

An awkward silence crept in between the couple as they shifted from one foot to the next, both of them unable to look each other in the face.

Natsu narrowed his eyes and took a peep at Lucy who seemed so bright and fresh it made it hard for him to not look. He could see how her breasts basically bursted out of her shirt and how she was so pale and looked so smooth he could just—

"Um, sorry, excuse me," her voice snapped him out of his daydream. "I was just going to get something…"

"Uh, yeah," he said awkwardly, moving out of her way. He watched as she walked away from him, his eyes locked on her behind as he can almost see the curve of her cheeks. He watched until she disappeared and he was finally able to move, coming into the kitchen to see the widespread range of ingredients and utensils. He went over to the cupboard to grab a cup, filling it up with some water before chugging the water. As he was mid-sip, Lucy came back into the kitchen making him choke, coughing loudly as he pounded on his chest bent over.

"A—are you okay?!" Lucy's voice crept in, making him step back and hold a hand out in front of her. She looked at him with concern as he finally was able to catch his breath, cursing himself as he now feels like he can't act normal around the woman. He continued to face the ground, feeling a little bit hot as his cheeks grew red. "Natsu?"

"Oh, Natsu!"

"I'm fine!" Natsu snapped, making Lucy flinch, stepping back from the male. "Leave me alone!" He threw her a hard look seeing how her eyes were wide with fear, again. It made him grimace as he looked away, sighing at his harshness. "I—" he sighed, placing his hand over his eyes. "I'm sorry." He mustered out.

He could feel Lucy's stare into his body, the tension between them thick and loud.

"I just—" he sputtered, looking up to lock eyes with the blonde who grew red. "I just wanted to say I was sorry about yesterday."

It was dead silent in the room as the two stared at each other, emotions jumping around everywhere as the two grew red, together. Natsu was quick to look away as Lucy looked downwards, steam blowing from her ear as she felt her heart race inside her chest. Natsu felt the same, his chest pounding as his stomach did all sorts of twists and turns.

"Forget it," Natsu sighed, turning around to walk away. "It's stupid—"

"Wait!" Lucy cried out as she reached over to grab his hand. It made him flinch and jerk his hand out of habit, Lucy flinching with him as he turned to look at her.

He saw how glossy her eyes were and pink her cheeks got, his eyes wide as she offered him a soft smile.

"I just wanted to say…" she looked away a bit shyly. "I'm sorry, too. I really appreciate the effort…"

Natsu just looked away in embarrassment as he turned his back to her again. "Don't mention it." He huffed, walking away from her. "Let me know when food is ready."

"You got it!"

He couldn't help but allow a small smile creep on his lips as he could hear the cheeriness in her voice. It made him warm in a way he hasn't felt in a very long time and he couldn't help but just smile. He was quick to get away before Lucy could see but all he really wanted to do was see her smile, again.


Notes: hello everyone! Welcome to the return of Laynapanda! It's been a long time and honestly I'm obsessing over NaLu again and it's super unhealthy… I love them so much. I feel like I watched my children grow and seeing how the 100 year quest is going I am overly excited to see how things turn out!
