Lucy hadn't seen Natsu since Wednesday night and it was Friday afternoon. The last couple of days he had been in his room or out running or avoiding her all together and it was making her frustrated and doubt herself. She wondered if it was because she kissed him since that was their last encounter and he's been MIA for the past couple days. He would ignore her when she called for lunch and a lot of the time she would just leave food outside his door and it would be gone by the time she came back to see if he did.
This made her incredibly sad and anxious as she wondered if she crossed some kind of line when she kissed him and asked him all those questions. It made her question herself and everything else as she wondered what she did wrong.
She's been trying to keep busy around the house as she was back to square one. She was feeling lonely and time went by slowly as she tried to look for things to do. She was able to clean out the attic and finish up laundry but by the time she was done, it was only four in the afternoon.
Natsu had ignored her for lunch and now as she prepared dinner, it made her upset that her relationship with Natsu had changed once again.
And this whole time she thought they were making progress.
Sighing loudly, Lucy continued to shred chicken with her hands as she stared out the windows of the sliding glass door. She could see the trees dance in the wind as they started to change colors and fall.
It made her think that once today was over, she would be gone for the weekend and won't be back till Monday.
She wonders, did Natsu forget her already?
Hearing her phone ring, Lucy quickly went over to rinse her fingers in the sink as she went over to answer.
"Hey, Zeref."
"Hey Lucy! Don't worry about dinner tonight, I'm going to bring home take-out. If you want, you can head out early so you can get a kick start to the weekend!"
"Oh, sure, thanks so much. I'll finish up what I'm doing and then head out. Have a great weekend."
And with that, the phone call ended making Lucy frown as she looked towards the quiet empty doorway that led to the upstairs. She could only think about Natsu as she sighed and went back to finishing up her task, quickly making some chicken salad for the boys for the weekend. Looking at the clock where it flashed four twenty-six, Lucy started to wash her hands in the sink as she tried to think about what could get him to come out of his room.
She had tried knocking on the door and calling for him but it was radio silence. As if he wasn't even here at all. She never even heard him come out of his room to use the bathroom once which made her wonder if he was truly alright.
Gathering her belongings, Lucy slowly made her way to the front door as she stared up the stairway where Natsu stayed.
She fought with herself if she wondered if she should just march into his room but she didn't want to create another problem with him so she let it go.
Sadness washing over her, Lucy stood at the door with her shoes on and purse over her shoulder as she stared at the stairway.
"I'm leaving, Natsu!" She shouted, her voice echoing through the empty house. "Zeref said he's bringing home dinner so I'm heading out early!"
Silence.
Huffing in annoyance, Lucy adjusted her purse on her shoulder.
"Have a good weekend!"
Silence.
Feeling frustrated, Lucy opened the door and walked out, practically slamming the door shut behind her as she made her way over to her car. She just wanted to break something or throw something to release her anger and frustration but she knew that wouldn't help and she couldn't find anything.
Coming over to her car, Lucy unlocked it to hop inside before driving away from the Dragneel household to begin her weekend.
Natsu could only watch from the window as she drove away, his eyes following her all the way till she was gone.
The weekend was long and sad for Lucy as she spent the majority of the time thinking about Natsu and wondering if she did anything wrong. It made her overthink way too much and she couldn't even enjoy brunch with her girlfriends because she was so busy thinking about what she could do to fix the relationship. She went through a roller coaster of emotions as she blamed him and then blamed herself and became sad to angry. She even watched a horror movie with Levy and Gajeel and she was unfazed by the movie, missing Natsu.
She thought about calling him and messaging him but she felt crazy. They weren't even anything but acquaintances and here she was, driving herself mad at the thought of Natsu not speaking to her again.
Laying in her bed staring up at the ceiling, her clock blinked six forty nine. She barely got any sleep over the weekend and as Friday came, Monday morning was dragging her down. She wasn't sure how it was going to be when she got there and it made her think what else she could do so time would move faster.
If she and Natsu weren't going to spend time together anymore, she had to think of what to do or she would have to have a conversation with Zeref about possibly cutting her hours.
Rolling to her side, Lucy listened to the footsteps of her roommate who was getting ready for work. Laying there for a second, Lucy threw her covers off her body and left her room, looking for the petite woman to get some advice.
Rounding the corner to come into the kitchen, Lucy looked at the woman who had her back turned as she was in the middle of making a sandwich. She came over to the dining table and pulled out a chair, the loud screeching sound making Levy jump and turn around with the butter knife pointed at Lucy.
"Relax," the blonde rolled her eyes, leaning her head against her arm. "It's just me."
"What are you doing up so early?"
"I couldn't sleep."
"Are you okay, Lu?"
"Not really," Lucy sighed as she rubbed her face with her hands. "Can I ask you something?"
Levy put down the butter knife to turn her focus on Lucy, the bluenette frowning as she could see the distress on her best friend's face. "Is this about Natsu?"
"How'd you know?"
"I've known you for over ten years," she rolled her eyes, crossing her arms across her chest. "You kind of get this way whenever it comes to a guy."
Lucy only frowned as she blinked in confusion, trying to think to herself. She just sighed, shaking her head. "Anyways," she cleared her throat. "I kind of kissed Natsu last week and he's been—"
"You kissed him?" Levy said in shock, her eyes wide. "Where?"
"Just on the cheek."
"Oh," she rolled her eyes. "That's elementary."
"Well, that's the thing," Lucy groaned. "I kissed him and he hasn't talked to me since. I don't know what I did wrong."
"You think maybe he's just shy?"
"That doesn't explain why he's ignoring me, though. I feel like I did something wrong instead of just making him embarrassed."
Levy snorted as she turned back around to go back to making her sandwich. "Then what else could it be?"
"I don't know!" Lucy groaned, throwing her head onto the table as she pressed her forehead into the cool glass. "Maybe he doesn't like me. He did say he hasn't been with or been around a girl in years."
"Years?"
"Years."
Levy only nodded silently as she absorbed all the information in, throwing the top bread on top of her made sandwich to press it down. "I can talk to Gajeel."
"I don't know, I think Gajeel wouldn't really know much considering they haven't seen or talked to each other since high school."
"I guess you're right," Levy sighed, throwing her sandwich that was in a ziplock bag into her lunch bag. "So, what do you want?"
"I want to go back to how things were when we were watching a movie together, eating our meals together, and smoking pot."
"What—?"
"Another time," Lucy waved Levy off who gave Lucy a wild look, her eyebrows knitted together. "What should I do?"
"I think you should talk to him." Levy said as she began to rinse off the butter knife she used. "He seemed interested in you when you brought him here that one time."
"Right?"
"But I don't know," she shrugged as she came over to the fridge. "I would just talk to him. You guys are both adults."
Lucy only sighed as she pulled her head back up to look at her roommate who threw an apple and water bottle into her lunch bag with her sandwich. "That's the thing, he ignores me. I've tried. I've knocked on his door and called for him and it's just radio silence."
"Then bust into his room," Levy said, shrugging her shoulders as she came up from the fridge with a slice of cheese between her lips. "But what are you going to say to him?"
"I don't know," Lucy groaned again. "What should I say?"
"Well, I'd first ask what his fucking problem is." She said, swallowing in between sentences. "Then if what you say is right then maybe… I don't know, apologize? Kiss him? Grab his dick?"
"Levy," Lucy flushed, giving her best friend a look.
"You said he finds you attractive. Maybe he just doesn't know how to handle his emotions, Lu. Test it."
"I did that and he hasn't spoken to me in days."
Offering a sheepishly smile to her roommate, Levy zipped up her lunch bag and came over to where she was sitting, putting the bag on top of the table. "Lu, you're a smart, beautiful woman. You'll figure it out."
Lucy only groaned as Levy came over to pat her on top of the head, a small smile mirroring her face. "I have to go to work now. Let me know how it goes! Bye!"
"Bye," Lucy muttered as she laid her head on the table again, listening to her roommate's footsteps disappear down the hall. She listened to how the door opened before it closed shut, leaving Lucy in their apartment in her own thoughts as she felt more confused than ever.
Rolling up to the Dragneel residence, Lucy felt nervous as her hands were gripping the steering wheel tight and her palms began to feel sweaty. She parked her car and sat in her seat, staring at the house as she wondered what she should do.
She felt all these emotions swirling inside of her and it made her angry as the only person she could blame was Natsu. He was being childish and she came to terms that she's just going to wait for him and ambush him into talking to her. And if that makes him blow up on her then so be it because she's seen the worst of him.
Grabbing her purse, Lucy came out of her car as she closed the door to lock it. Today she wore another turtleneck with a skirt, her favorite thigh high boots stretched across her long legs as she made her way towards the house. Ensuring that Zeref wouldn't see her neck till her bruises were gone completely, Lucy prepared herself for a very long week of covering herself.
Climbing up the stairs to peek over at the porch swing where she thought she might see Natsu. She frowned when she saw an empty swing, opening the front door to enter the home where she could see the kitchen light on and the smell of coffee. Kicking off her shoes, Lucy came into the kitchen where she saw Zeref reading his morning newspaper with a cup of coffee sitting right on the counter.
His face brightened up when he saw Lucy, the male folding the newspaper to give her his attention. "Well, good morning! How was your weekend?"
"Boring," she smiled back as she placed her purse on the counter. "How about you?"
"My girlfriend and I actually went camping this weekend and I got back late last night," he offered a sheepish smile to him. "Sorry to hear you had a boring weekend."
"It's alright," Lucy sighed, coming over to sit on the counter. "Natsu's not up?"
"He is," Zeref took a sip of his coffee. "He was up early and he told me he was going on a run about thirty minutes ago."
Lucy only nodded as she scanned the counter, her eyes casted low making Zeref quirk his brow at her.
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah, just tired." Lucy offered a smile at the dark-haired Dragneel. "Somehow when you have nothing to do, you're more tired."
"I agree." Zeref laughed. "No wonder Natsu is so tired."
At this, Lucy laughed with Zeref as the two exchanged smiles. A small comfortable silence went between the couple before Zeref finished his coffee, coming over to the sink to rinse his cup and then flip it upside down in the sink. "I have to head out now. Take care of yourself and try to take it easy, today."
Lucy only nodded as she stood up, following Zeref to the front door as he started to put his shoes on. Lucy only stood there waiting and watching as he tied his shoes, standing up straight to tower over the blonde.
"Have a great day, Zeref."
"You have a better one, Lucy!" He saluted her as he opened the front door. As he made his way down the stairs, Lucy saw him turn and look at someone making her turn and look where he was. "Bye, Natsu!" He said, waving his hand at the male. Lucy watched how Natsu was walking towards the house, sweats and a hoodie on. The couple got eye contact as Zeref hopped into his car, waving with both hands at them as he drove away.
Lucy stood on the porch with her arms crossed her chest as Natsu came up the stairs, trying his best to ignore her as he tried to walk past her until she grabbed the back of his shirt.
"Hey!"
Turning around, Natsu pulled one of his headphones out of his ear and looked at her. "What?"
"What do you mean what?" She hissed, annoyance laced between her words. "I haven't seen or talked to you in a while."
"Okay?" He said, pulling away from her making her fingers lose grasp of his shirt. "And?"
"What is your deal?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Stop playing dumb!" Lucy shouted, stepping closer to the sweaty male who gave her a look with his eyebrows knitted. "You've been avoiding me and ignoring me for days!"
"No I haven't."
"Yes, you have." she hissed, frustration decorating her face. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Look," Natsu sighed, pressing his fingers against the bridge of his nose as he planted his hand on his hip. "it's fucking eight in the morning, do we really have to do this?"
"Yes!" Lucy partially screamed, her face growing red with anger. "What the fuck is your problem!"
"My problem?" Natsu said, his face twisting into annoyance. "What is your problem?"
"Don't switch this on me!"
"Fuck off," he said, turning around to try to walk away from her again but Lucy grabbed his arm. Natsu jerked his arm and threw her hand off him, turning around to look at Lucy with anger. "I said fuck off!"
Lucy reeled back in surprise as she looked at the male who gave her a twisted look, her eyes wide and heart pounding in her chest as they stared at each other. It made her frown and quiver as she looked at the angry man, feeling defeated. Natsu only stared at her for a minute longer before he turned back around, walking back into the house to slam the door in her face. She could hear his heavy footsteps climb up the stairs before another door slammed shut, the house shaking slightly with the sound.
Lucy only crouched down and hugged herself, tears running down her face as she buried her face into her knees.
Somehow, she was back at square one.
Earlier today, Lucy watched how Natsu disappeared into the woods as she was making lunch. She watched how he made his way towards the wood on some pathway and did not come back, the blonde wondering when and if he was going to return. If this was one of those days where he disappeared for the whole day, Lucy decided she was going to make this a Zeref problem.
He's been gone for almost three hours since the time blinked two twenty one and he missed lunch.
After their encounter this morning, Lucy was utterly devastated at the fact her relationship with Natsu wasn't repairable. He clearly didn't want anything to do with her and how he treated her this morning made her heart shatter.
But for some reason, she was still missing him and wondering if he was safe. It made her angry at the idea and she paced all morning wondering if he was going to come for lunch.
When it was past two, Lucy ate on her own and left Natsu a plate in the microwave, hoping he would return.
Now it was just her and Happy, the twenty four year old woman sitting at the dining table staring at the window waiting to see a hint of pink as the blue kitten sat on her lap purring.
She debated if she should go into the woods and look for him but with how angry Natsu was this morning, she felt like he would actually murder her and leave her there. And there was nothing scarier than getting lost in the woods.
Hearing how the laundry machine rang, Lucy stood up making Happy hop off her lap and run off somewhere. She went over to grab a basket so she could take the clothes to hang outside since it wasn't as cold as it usually was. While coming over to the sliding door, Lucy grunted as she dragged the wet heavy load to the door. Huffing in annoyance, the blonde opened the door to reach down to grab the basket but stopped when Happy sprinted out the house making her gasp.
"Happy!" She shouted as she watched the cat explore in the yard. "Get back in here!"
Seeing how the cat turned to look at her, he started to sprint towards the woods making her gawk. "Happy!" She screeched, looking around in worry. Lucy cursed herself as she ran over to grab her shoes, zipping them up quickly as she sprinted out the door. "Happy!" She screamed as she ran the way he did, running up the dirt path to look for blue. "Happy! Where are you?!" Lucy looked around in fear and worry as she slowed down. She walked up the pathway as she looked at her surroundings, noticing it was just nothing but trees making her feel nervous. She tried her best to keep track of where she was but she felt uneasy as she ventured further into the forest.
"Happy!" Lucy cried out, hearing how her voice echoed. "Happy, where are you? Come back!" She whined, looking around.
As she came down the path, Lucy saw a flash of blue from the corner of her eyes making her gasp. "Happy!" She shouted, making the cat look up at her before running off again. "Happy! You stupid fucking cat!" She groaned, running with him as she followed him down the hill. "Get back here!"
Almost tripping multiple times, Lucy dodged multiple fallen trees and holes in the ground as she saw the cat run in front of her. She tried her best to catch up as Happy was quicker than her, jumping and dodging the fallen branches and logs as it took her longer to get over them.
"When I get you, you're dead!" She screamed, climbing over a log as she watched him run away. "Happy!"
Trailing behind the cat, Lucy watched how he started to run up a tree making her stop and gawk. Following the cat with her eyes, her eyes landed on an old run down treehouse built with planks of wood and vines growing around it.
She stood there for a second as she stared up at it, seeing how Happy had disappeared in the treehouse made her feel uneasy and uncomfortable. She looked around her surroundings again, trying to see if she knew where she was and what was around but it just made her feel nervous again as she realized everything looked the same. Walking around the large tree, Lucy noticed a ladder that hung from the treehouse making her look around nervously, again.
Was this a trap?
Lucy could only think about Happy that was up in the tree and it made her curse him, scowling as she slowly made her way up the ladder.
She slowly made her way up the ladder, carefully making sure it didn't snap on her as she was pretty high up halfway. Looking down, Lucy started to feel scared as she realized the fall would hurt if the rope did happen to snap.
Quickly making her way to the top, Lucy grabbed the ledge as she hoisted herself up, peeking her head over the ledge to look for the blue-haired feline.
To her surprise, she saw Natsu instead with the said culprit in his lap.
The two locked eyes as Natsu looked surprised and confused, seeing how Lucy's head and arm was only shown.
"What the hell?" He said, taking Happy off his lap to place him next to him. He then stood up to walk over to where she was, peering down at the blonde. "What are you doing?"
"Nice to see you, too," Lucy muttered, narrowing her eyes. "I was chasing after that cat." She hissed, looking at Happy who was happily licking himself. "He brought me here and I—could you fucking help?" She reached her arm out towards him, making him grab it and hoist her up. Lucy climbed onto the wooden board and sighed, sitting down as she looked down below. "Jesus this is high up…" She muttered before turning to look at Natsu who stood there staring at her. "You were here this entire time?"
"Yeah, it's my treehouse."
"Figured," she said as she stood up, dusting herself off. "Get over here you stupid fucking cat!" Lucy went over towards the cat, picking him up to hold him in front of her. "What do you have to say for yourself?!"
Happy just purred as he looked back at Lucy, his tail moving back and forth as it wrapped around her wrist.
Lucy could only sigh, putting the cat back down as Happy went over to the corner to ball up and purr.
"How'd you get here?" Natsu asked making her turn and look at him. He had headphones hanging from his shoulder as he wore a hoodie and sweats, the look of confusion plastered on his handsome face.
"I told you, Happy ran away and I chased him into the woods and he happened to run into this treehouse."
Natsu nodded silently as Lucy started to look around, noticing how small and old the place looked. It looked like nobody had come in it in a while as the wood started to chip away and there were old, wet coloring books in the corner. There was a lamp and a pillow with a single blanket that was laid out and a radio, bags of trash sitting by the edge of the doorway.
Lucy only nodded to herself before turning to look at Natsu, the male looking downwards as he shuffled from one foot to another.
"Well, I don't know how to get back home so you're going to have to take me." She huffed, crossing her arms.
Natsu only glanced up at her, turning his head away. "Now?"
"Actually," Lucy said, planting her hands on her hips as she faced him. "Now that I have you cornered—what the fuck was that this morning?"
All the pent up anger and frustration flowed out of Lucy as she looked at the male who wouldn't look at her. It made her angrier as he avoided eye contact.
"I thought we were having a great time together and then last week you just decided to ghost me after I kiss you."
Natsu's cheeks grew red as he turned away from her, his arms crossing against his chest. "It wasn't like that."
"Then what was it like?"
"Why do you care?" He scoffed, glaring at the blonde who glared right back.
"How dumb are you, Natsu?"
"What?" He hissed.
"I'm trying to give you a chance over here and you're fucking blowing it. What do I have to do? Wave a fucking sign over my head? Stand outside your window with a radio over my head?"
Turning to look back at Lucy, Natsu looked at her angered expression as her face glowed red and her eyes got glossy.
"I like you," she confessed, making him look at her with wide eyes, his expression growing soft. "And I want to give you a chance. I wanted—" Lucy stopped talking to look away, her fist clenched. "I wanted us to try and you just fucking blow it."
Natsu stared at her in silence as she rambled, the blonde pacing back and forth in the small space as she threw her hands around in anger.
"Like, I ask you about the girls you had in your life and I tell you that maybe you should try to pursue me and I kiss you!" She flashed her eyes to look at Natsu. "And then you ghost me for days! Ignore me! Avoid me! Like, am I really that bad?"
"It's not like that." Natsu muttered, casting his head down.
"Then tell me!" She shouted, throwing her arms around. "The least you can do is tell me that you don't feel the same! Or you don't think of me like that or—or that I'm not attractive! Like, do you know what kind of couple days I've had?!"
"Lucy," Natsu said, catching her attention. "You don't want me."
"How could you say that?"
"Lucy," He said her name, again, harshly. "You don't want me."
"I want you Natsu!" Lucy shouted, making Natsu look up at her with anger in his eyes.
"Why?!"
"Because!" Lucy clenched her fist as she squeezed her eyes shut. "Because… I have seen you as you and I like him—"
"You don't know me—"
"How long are you going to say that?" She cut him off, stepping towards him as he looked away. "Why can't you believe that I like you?"
Natsu scoffed, walking away from Lucy to go to the other end of the treehouse by Happy. "What's there to like?" He muttered, arms crossed. "I'm a twenty six year old loser who stays home all day, doesn't work, doesn't have a degree, lives off their brother, and smokes pot. What's so great about me?"
Lucy frowned to herself as she stared at his back, watching how he clenched his fists and trembled.
"Huh?!" Natsu suddenly shouted, whipping around to look at Lucy who jumped. "What's so fucking great about me that you like? You like losers? You date fucking lowlifes?"
"N—Natsu…"
"Tell me, Lucy!" He screamed, walking over to where she was making her step back. "You say you like me so much but you like this?! A fucking loser with anger issues?!"
"Y—you're not—!"
"Lair!" He shouted, stepping towards her as she bumped into the wall behind her. Her eyes were wide with fear as she looked at Natsu who approached her, slamming his hands on both sides of her head as she jumped. "Is this who you like? This fucking angry loser who has nothing going for himself? Can't keep a fucking job? Can't fucking leave the house?"
Lucy squeezed her eyes shut as she looked away, tears streaming down her face as Natsu screamed in her face.
"Tell me Lucy! Tell me if this is what you like!"
Opening her eyes to look up at Natsu with tears staining her cheeks, she looked into the angry face of the younger Dragneel who was huffing and puffing. She could see the tears in his eyes as he tried to scare her, the blonde feeling fear bubbling in her chest as she shook in her spot.
Swallowing thickly, Lucy took a deep breath in as she reached up to cup his face, startling the man whose expression changed to confusion.
Leaning in, Lucy pressed her lips against Natsu's, making his eyes widen. A shiver ran down his body as he felt the warmth of her lips against his, his body growing limp as she pulled away. Opening her eyes to look up at Natsu who stared right back at her, her cheeks grew red. They were quiet for a moment before Natsu reached down and grabbed her face, bringing her in to kiss her again.
His lips molded into hers perfectly as they kissed, the sounds of their lips smacking against one another echoing into the empty tree house as Lucy threw her arms around his shoulders. He reached down and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her in closer as they kissed hungrily.
Pulling away from each other to breathe, Natsu stared into Lucy's eyes as they both panted heavily. Lucy leaned in again to kiss him, tugging on his scarf making him quickly start stripping. With their lips still connected, the couple started to discard their clothing as fast as they could, Natsu's pants and scarf tossed to the side as Lucy's boots and sweater were yanked off. Pulling away to pull his hoodie over his head, Natsu stood in front of Lucy just in his boxers as Lucy's face grew red. Her eyes trailed down his body as she could see his bulge, the blonde looking up at Natsu again for him to grab her by the waist to pull her towards his small make-shift bed he had on the floor.
Sinking down, the two got on their knees as they locked lips again, Natsu reaching behind to unclip her bra where her enormous breasts bounced out.
Lucy suddenly felt shy as she felt the cold breeze touch her bare skin, the blonde pulling away to wrap her arms round her chest as she looked up at the hungry male. He looked down at her as his eyes trailed down her body, looking back into her eyes as he held her.
"We don't have to if you don't want to." Natsu said, making her smile softly.
"I—it's not that…" Lucy said as she looked away in embarrassment. "I… I haven't been with someone in a while."
"Neither have I."
Lucy chewed on her bottom lip, her legs feeling weak as she looked down to look at Natsu's hard dick that poked up in his boxers. She looked back up at him, eyes sparkling as she could see that he wanted her.
"Just don't look," she said, leaning in to kiss him on the mouth. "I'm shy."
Natsu smirked against her lips as he wrapped one arm behind her back and then used his other arm to start laying her down on the ground. Once she was down, Natsu got on top of her and looked down at the blushing woman who looked away and had her arms covering her chest.
"It's alright," he said, grabbing her arms to pull them away to expose her bare breasts. "I'm shy, too."
He leaned down to kiss her on her neck, trailing down her collarbone to suck on her hard nipple. Lucy gasped as she felt his warm mouth around her, squirming under him as he tried to nudge her legs apart with his knees. The cold air brushed against her skin for her nipples to harden and a shiver run down her spine. Natsu pulled away to lean in to press his lips against hers again, Lucy kissing him hungrily as she wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders.
She gasped when she felt him press his hard member against her heat, gripping onto his hair for support as she could feel him grind against her.
Natsu started to move his hands up her thighs, reaching up to grab her panties to pull them down slowly as they kissed. This made Lucy squirm even more as he pulled them down to her legs, the blonde looking up at him in embarrassment. She tried to look away from him but Natsu grabbed her chin, pulling her face to look right into his eyes.
"Look at me."
Lucy gulped as she stared into his dark eyes, feeling her womanhood throb for him. She looked into his eyes as she felt his hand go up her thigh, his fingers sliding up and down her lips as she whimpered. Lucy shut her eyes closed as she felt him tease her, moaning softly. Her heart pounded in her chest and she felt her legs feel weak as he touched her tenderly.
Feeling him pull away, Lucy opened her eyes to look back up at Natsu who continued to watch her. He started to pull his boxers down making his hard member come out, her eyes widening as she looked at him.
She gawked at his size as he threw his underwear to the side, her brown eyes nervously looking at his penis to his face.
"What?"
"I—I—" Lucy gulped, trying to hide herself as she pressed her knees together. "I don't think that's going to fit…"
Natsu laughed, making her realize it was the first time she heard him laugh. It made her inside warm as he smiled down at her, his cheeks flushed as he hovered over her naked.
"It'll fit," he reassured her as he tried to pull her legs apart. "Just tell me if I need to slow down."
Lucy turned her head away, again, as she felt her heart pound inside her chest. She felt nervous as she could feel Natsu's heat, again. She squeezed her eyes shut as she felt his fingers on her lower lips, moving them up and down before she felt his finger at her entrance. It made her gasp as he tried to push his finger inside of her, her hips bucking towards him.
Natsu leaned down and kissed her, inserting his finger slowly inside of her womanhood as Lucy moaned in his mouth. He held her thigh as she bucked into him, her chest rising to press against his.
Pulling away from her again, Lucy looked up at Natsu as he adjusted himself between her legs. It made her shake as she could see him look down at her naked body, a shiver running down her spine as she could see how turned on Natsu looked. His eyes were lowered and he was panting as he leaned down to hover over her, pressing his tip against her heat making her gasp and look at him with wide eyes.
"You ready?" He asked, his voice husk as he rubbed himself on her.
Lucy could feel his hand on her waist as he held himself up with his other, the two looking at each other as Natsu began to ease into her. Lucy mewled out as she could feel his girth stretch her walls. She arched her back in pleasure, making Natsu lean down to pop her nipple into his mouth, sucking on it as she cried out.
Once he made it all the way inside of her, he stopped and looked down at Lucy who was panting. He grunted as he tried to adjust himself, feeling her squeeze him tight.
"Okay?" He asked Lucy who nodded before he pulled out slowly to thrust back inside of her.
Lucy cried out, throwing her head back as she felt him hit the back of her wall. Soon, he was thrusting in and out of her faster as she moaned, her tits bouncing with her body as she swallowed his cock whole.
Natsu's arms shook as he moved his hips and grinded inside of Lucy, feeling like he was going to cum a lot faster than he thought as he struggled to keep himself together. He started to breathe faster as he watched Lucy's face twist in pleasure and pain as the sound of her wetness sloped into the treehouse.
Pulling himself out of her womanhood, his cock dripped from her juices as he lifted her legs to throw them over his shoulder. He stood straight up on his knees as he pushed himself back inside of her, Lucy moaning loudly as the new position made her start feeling it deeper inside. She could feel the treehouse rocking back and forth as Natsu pounded inside of her, her moans and his groans filling her ears. She could feel her womanhood throbbing as he stretched her out, her voice growing louder with every thrust he made inside of her.
Feeling Natsu slow down, he dropped her legs to push himself deep inside of her, making her cry out. She grabbed onto him for dear life as she screamed, throwing her head back. "You're so deep!"
Natsu grunted as he started to go slow, going from the base all the way to the tip to thrust into her hard and fast making her scream.
He could feel her womanhood tightening around his shaft making his breath shaky, trying his hardest to keep it together as he knew she was getting close. Hearing how her breathing started to shake and get faster, Natsu knew she was about to climax as she dug her nails into his back.
"N—Natsu!" She gasped as she looked up at him, eyes wide. "I—I—!"
"Cum, Lucy," he said, pulling himself out of her as he shoved his fingers inside of her. Lucy cried out as he started to finger her fast, liquid squirting out of her womanhood all over his arm and on them as she screamed in pleasure. Her body shook as he shoved himself deep inside of her again, feeling how her walls throbbed and how he started to reach his climax, too.
Pulling himself out, Natsu moaned as he jerked his cock and came on Lucy, his white milky cum displaying itself on her stomach and all the way up her breasts as they two panted loudly.
The couple stayed how they were as they both tried to regulate their breathing, both of them feeling at bliss.
Looking around for something to wipe themselves with, Natsu leaned over and grabbed his shirt he had under his hoodie and started to wipe Lucy off, making her shiver at his touch. After he wiped her clean, he wiped the rest he had on his hand and tossed the shirt over to the corner before laying down beside her.
The two were quiet as they both stared up at the ceiling, somehow awkward but peaceful as they enjoyed each other.
Laying next to each other in silence catching their breaths, Natsu turned his head to look at Lucy. "You want to smoke?"
Feeling the corner of her mouth tug upwards, Lucy turned her head to be nose to nose with Natsu. "Sure."
Sitting up, Natsu looked around the treehouse where all their clothes scattered, Happy in the corner balled up in their clothing. He leaned over to snag his boxers, grabbing his hoodie to toss to Lucy. After pulling his boxers up, he leaned in further to crawl on his knees to grab his sweats that had been all the way on the other side of the place. He grabbed her panties while he was there, scooting backwards to sit right back next to Lucy. Lucy squirmed around as she pulled her panties back up, her small body swallowed in Natsu's hoodie.
He felt enchanted as she glowed, her cute round face flushed as her golden hair stood up in all the right places.
He could only stare in awe, feeling butterflies in his stomach.
"W—what?" Lucy felt shy as she put her hands to her cheeks, cupping her own face. "Do I have something?"
"I just think you're cute." He said, a small blush on his cheeks.
Lucy grew beet red as she looked away, looking down by the floor as she could feel his stare. She could suddenly feel and realize that they were just intimate in his childhood treehouse and she was sitting in just her panties and his hoodie.
This made her feel flustered as her heart raced inside her chest.
Hearing the click of his lighter, Lucy turned to look at Natsu as she watched him light the end as he puffed on it from the other. It made her womanhood throb in the process as she felt her stomach flutter, seeing how attractive he truly was. She absorbed the memory as she looked down at his well toned body, sitting with his legs crossed as he sat in his red boxers. His muscles bulged with his movements and she could still see the sweat outline on his body as he sat there trying to light his joint.
Looking up, Natsu looked right at Lucy who was caught staring, the blonde quickly looking away to blush again. This made Natsu smile to himself as he tossed the lighter in front of him, leaning in to grab the back of her head and pull her in to kiss him. Lucy felt her whole world stop as her eyes widened, feeling the lips of the angry pink-haired male press against her as he pulled away to look at the blushing woman. He tasted like smoke as smirked to himself, puffing on his joint again as the smoke danced in the treehouse. He then held it towards Lucy who took it from his hands, trembling as she put it to her mouth.
The couple was quiet as they exchanged the joint, the sounds of the trees rustling and the wind blowing being the only thing heard. Happy who took home in their ball of clothes in the corner rolled around and purred, playing with himself as he felt content.
The sun was starting to drop low as the day passed, Lucy staring out the open hole in the treehouse. "We should head back before it gets dark."
"I know how to get back if you're worried."
"Kind of." She felt embarrassed as she admired Natsu. "Could you pass me my clothes?"
Natsu leaned over again to grab the pile of clothes in the corner, Happy hopping off to hiss at him as he made his way over to the blankets where they sat. He made himself comfortable on the very edge as he sat there staring at Lucy.
She felt like he was judging her.
Natsu put her clothes in her lap as he stood up, pulling his sweats up his legs as he held the joint in between his lips. Inhaling the smoke, he held it out to Lucy who was now standing as she was pulling her boots up her legs. She exchanged his hoodie for the joint as she now held it between her lips, zipping her boots up as she pulled up her skirt.
Natsu watched in amusement as she hopped around, trying to pull her clothes on as she multitasked.
She still looked so beautiful as her flushed face looked so innocent, her hair poking out.
He pulled his hoodie on, sniffing it as it smelt like a mix of him and Lucy. He felt warm as he grabbed his cum covered shirt, shoving it in his hoodie pocket as they now stood in front of each other.
"I'm going to head down first so I can catch you if you fall."
"Now you just jinxed it." Lucy smiled as Natsu smiled back. She handed him back the joint and he went over to the open hole to crush the lit up end, putting it out to put it back in his sweat pocket. He went over to where she was and gave her a pat on the head.
"I'll meet you down there." He said before he went over to where Happy was to scoop him. Happy squirmed around as he hissed, giving Natsu an unpleasant look as he glared right back. "Can it, puss. We're going home." He said as he put the cat inside his hoodie. Happy seemed to agree with this as he snuggled into his sweatshirt, his head poking out as Natsu started to climb down the ladder.
Lucy watched him from above as he made it down, hopping off the last couple to land on the ground. He looked up at her, ushering her to come, making her sigh and start climbing down as well. As she came down, Natsu could only stare at her ass as he could see the full roundness of her cheeks and her panties that flashed right in his face. He made a mental note to fuck her from behind next time so he could get the full experience, holding his arms out in case she slipped.
She felt her foot on the ground making her sigh in relief as she made her way down the ladder without falling. She turned to look at the taller male, smiling.
"See? Didn't need any help."
Natsu only smiled at her as he started to walk, the two going up some path as the world started to grow orange.
The couple were silent as they made it back to the house, Natsu holding his arm out behind Lucy any time they went up a hill as he was afraid she was going to fall. Coming up to the Dragneel residence, Happy crawled out Natsu's hoodie as he started to run towards the house leaving the two behind.
"That damn cat," Lucy hissed, annoyance laced between her words. "He almost got me lost in the woods."
"He must have followed my scent or something."
"Maybe."
Not daring to talk about the situation, Natsu and Lucy came inside the house where the laundry basket laid by the door, a puddle of water starting to surround it. Lucy groaned as she stepped in it, looking for some paper towels as she crossed the kitchen. "Natsu, could you—?"
"Yep," he said as he was already carrying the basket back to the laundry room. "I'll run the dryer."
Lucy only smiled as she came over to wipe the water, crouching down to absorb the puddle in the paper towels.
Coming back into the kitchen, Natsu made a beeline for the fridge as he grabbed a water bottle to chug it whole. He took another one out to hand to Lucy who had made her way back to where he was.
"Thanks," she said before she started to drink. "Wow," she sighed as she drank half of it. "I didn't realize how thirsty I was."
"Usually are after sex."
Lucy exploded red as she looked over at Natsu, seeing how he had a blank expression on his face.
It was the first time they talked about it since it happened and it made her feel flustered. She didn't think they would talk about it so soon but he was so nonchalant it made her want to crawl into a hole and hide till the end of time.
Natsu gave her an odd look as he stared at her red face. "What's with that look?"
"I—I don't know," she quickly looked away, holding onto the water bottle for dear life. "it's nothing."
"Is it because I said something about us having sex?"
"N—Natsu!" She sputtered, face growing redder as he snicker.
"Why are you so embarrassed? I was just inside of you not too—"
"Okay!" She screeched, turning around to walk away from the snickering male. "Can we not talk about this right now? Or more specifically, the details?"
Natsu just shrugged as he grabbed another water bottle, opening the microwave to see what he was looking for. Closing the door, he started to microwave the food as he turned to look at Lucy again who was standing across the counter from him. She looked embarrassed as she had her head casted down, cheeks painted red as she tried not to look at him. He found her adorable as she stood there.
"I think we should talk about what happened."
"I—" Lucy frowned, catching herself. "I feel like you should be the one talking."
"Okay," he shrugged again. "What is it that you want from me?"
"I said you should be the one talking, not asking me questions." She sighed, coming to lean on the counter. "I don't really know what to call it. I told you in the treehouse that I like you."
"I like you, too."
Lucy flushed red, again, as she looked up at him in surprise. "Y—you do?"
"Yeah," Natsu nodded, his cheeks pink as the microwave caught his attention. He turned around to take his hot plate out, putting it on the counter in front of him as he pulled out a fork from the drawer. "But I feel like it's more complicated than this."
"Well obviously," Lucy muttered as she watched him eat his lunch. "So, I guess that leaves the question of: what do you want to do?"
Natsu looked at Lucy as he chewed, leaning against the counter with one arm. He just stared at her as he tried to figure out what he wanted, thinking to himself as all he could really think of or imagine was Lucy naked. He swallowed his food and sighed. "Listen, Lucy," he said as he put more food into his mouth. "I just don't think your ideas are realistic."
"What is that supposed to mean?" She furrowed her brows.
"What I'm saying is that you don't want to be with someone like me."
Lucy rolled her eyes as she pulled out the chair to sit in it.
"I just don't think you deserve to be with someone like me. I think you could do a lot better and I—"
"Again, with the excuses." She sighed, crossing her arms across her chest. "You know, you're the only one who thinks that way about yourself. Not me or Zeref thinks of you like that."
Nastu stayed quiet as he chewed, looking at the blonde who looked irritated.
"I think you put yourself down more than you should and like I said the other night, you have so much potential. I just want you to try. I mean, who knows, what if I actually don't like who you are? Or vice versa? We can take it slow."
"I don't know how much slower we can take it," he snorted as the sound of his fork screeching across the plate echoed in the kitchen. "I've already seen you naked."
"Okay." Lucy hissed, face growing red, again. "I'm saying we can start from the beginning and maybe kind of get to know each other before we… uh, do it again."
Natsu nodded as he chewed, looking at Lucy who started to draw shapes on the counter again with her finger. "So we're going to do it again?"
Lucy only scowled at him, face beet red as Natsu snickered. He could only laugh to himself as Lucy looked embarrassed, a small smile lingering on his face. He finished up his meal, putting the plate in the sink to rinse it off before dropping it in there. He went over to where she was sitting and stood in front of her, standing tall and proud as Lucy looked at him bashfully. He grabbed her water that sat on the counter and drank it, closing the cap to place it back where it was.
Lucy only stared as he stared right back, the tension thick as Natsu could only trail his eyes down her body, hungrily. This made her flustered as she hugged herself, looking away.
"So," she cleared her throat. "I was actually looking online at boxing classes and physical training… There's a gym not too far from here that is actually hiring a part time trainer. I think that's a great start for you. I can take you there tomorrow."
Natsu nodded as he took in the information, leaning against the counter.
"I feel like if you start with a job, it'll start getting you out into the world, again."
"Sure," he shrugged. "If that's what you think."
"What else could you think of?"
"I'd like to think this was my first step." He gestured at them, pink dusting his cheeks, again. "I told you, it's been a while since I've been with anyone."
Lucy flushed as she remembered their time, the blonde furrowing her brows as she looked away. "Well for someone who hasn't been with someone in a while, you sure are good at it."
"I've had a lot of practice."
"Whore," she muttered under her breath as she stood up from the chair, clearing her throat. "I need to know where we stand."
He stood close where she could feel his body heat and smell him. It made her want to lean and kiss him, again, feeling nervous.
"Where do we stand?" He echoed.
"Like… What does this mean for us? What are our boundaries for each other?"
"What do you mean? Like… sexually?"
Lucy exploded red as she scowled at the blinking male, thoughts swirling inside of her head as she tried to figure out what she wanted. She felt shy as her throat felt dry, wondering how she could speak when her knees felt weak.
"I—I mean—!" She cleared her throat. "Like, can I k—kiss you?"
Natsu continued to stare at her, feeling his heart pound in his chest. "We can kiss anytime."
Lucy felt a shiver run down her spine as his husky voice echoed in her ear. She felt dizzy as her womanhood throbbed for him, wanting more of him as she walked around the counter to stand away from him. Natsu only leaned against the counter as he wiped the corner of his mouth, watching Lucy hungrily as she shivered.
"Do you want to come on a double date with me and Levy?"
"Huh?" He blinked in confusion. "A double date? When?"
"Maybe sometime this week," she muttered out, feeling shy.
Natsu stayed quiet as he thought about it, his brows knitting as he looked back at her. "You mean with Gajeel?"
"Well… yeah."
Natsu grew silent again as he looked lost in thought, Lucy waiting for his response. She felt like he was quiet for a long time as she started to feel awkward, the room starting to grow dark as the sun set and night began. Her eyes flickered towards the clock where it flashed six o-nine making her realize Zeref would be coming home soon. This made her turn and open the fridge as Natsu sat there in silence, thinking over his options as Lucy pulled out a bag of meat that had been marinating in the fridge.
She went over to the cabinets to pull out a large pot and a pot, coming back to the counter to look up at Natsu who looked like he was in pain as his face scrunched up in confusion.
"You don't have to tell me, now. You can think about it."
Natsu only nodded as he looked at Lucy walking back and forth, grabbing ingredients from the fridge and pantry. He cleared his throat and stood back up, going to put his hands in his hoodie pocket when he felt the bulge, pulling out his cum-stained t-shirt from his pocket to make him smirk.
He shoved it back in, coming around the counter. "I'm going to go shower."
"Okay," Lucy said as she pulled out a chopping board from under the counter. "I'm going to start dinner for you and Zeref."
Natsu nodded as he disappeared from the room, his heart pounding as he started to feel giddy. He hadn't felt like this in so long as he couldn't help but smile to himself. He felt accomplished and happy for once as Lucy ran through his head and how her naked body looked and felt as he made his way to the bathroom. He turned on the water to close the door, looking at himself in the mirror as he could see his red lips swelled up from kissing Lucy.
He felt good about himself, pulling his hoodie off and pulling his clothes off to feel the stickiness of her on his cock and balls. He can only groan as he smelt her on his fingers and hands, remembering their time together as he started to grow hard, again.
Hopping into the hot shower, Natsu could only beat off to Lucy as he imagined her naked body once more.
