Rough, uneven breaths were echoing into the empty room as the sounds of skin slapping against each other were heard. Lucy was pressed against the wall, fingers tangled in those odd-colored locks and tongue intertwined with the Dragneel's that was thrusting into her as hard as she wanted. The sun was threatening to set as the time was a little past five, the party that had been going on since this morning still going as strong as it was. Some others had come to join and while there was more booze and louder music, someone had opted for more fireworks for their official last, last night so Gajeel had left with Rogue to go gather some more from the neighboring city.

Majority of the people had fallen asleep for their mid-day nap to be fired up for the evening party and while there were those who remained, Natsu and Lucy had other plans.

At first it was just kisses here and there and maybe a squeeze or four but then after Lucy had regained her drunkenness she lost from the conversation with her dad, she had become more of a horned dog. She was first to be whispering lewd things in Natsu's ear as he played beer pong, his face red and pants tight as her breath tickled his neck. Then Natsu would come find her and slap her bare bottom, grabbing and tickling on her as she laughed. Soon, they were mouth to mouth and hands all over each other as they eventually stumbled into her room, clothes being forgotten in a blink of an eye.

Being in swimsuits helped their factor as Natsu was quick to rip off her top and suck on her salty moist nipples as he can trace the tanlines she gained from the days of laying out in the sun. She was a giggling mess, squirming and wiggling around under his hold as he stripped her of her swimsuit. He loved the tan lines she produced as he traced along the darker skin up her navel to her breasts to her beautiful face that was flushed from their activities.

She was hungry as she was now on top of him, mouth latched onto his as she pressed her heat against his ever growing bulge in his swim trunks. He groaned into her mouth and massaged her globes, hissing against her teeth as she grinded her hips against his.

"I thought you said you were inexperienced," he chuckled as Lucy kissed along his jawlines.

"That doesn't mean I haven't seen or heard about what to do," she teased as she started to trail down his throat to his shoulders. "Can I try something?"

"Anything."

"You might need to guide me a bit."

Natsu could already tell by the way she was kneeling what she was going to try. He could only smirk as she fumbled with the strings of his swim trunks before she pulled them down to reveal his hard on standing tall and proud for her. Her eyes were wide as she came eye to eye with his cock, unsure of how to even grasp it as it looked so scary.

"Alright, you're making me nervous by staring," Natsu said as Lucy giggled. "What is it that you want to try?"

"I want to suck it."

Natsu felt his heart throb and the heat crawl up his neck as he saw the innocent looking gal between his legs, looking up at him. He turned his head away and covered his mouth, scowling as he felt the embarrassment.

"But.. I've never.." she flushed a bit, a hiccup following her. "It's just.. so big."

"Why, thank you," Natsu felt his chest swell with pride. "Well, try whatever just.. don't use your teeth."

"I read that before," Lucy said, a sly smile on her lip as she stuck her tongue out to drag it across his rod. Natsu hissed out as he felt her warmth, a shiver running up his spine. She liked the reaction and continued to drag her tongue around and over his throbbing member earning a low moan from the male. She went to the oozing tip and gave it a gentle kiss before swallowing him, making him jolt.

Natsu knew if he was standing he would have dropped to his knees but he could only fist the comforter and groan as he watched his childhood crush go down on him.

She was slow and gentle, experimenting with her mouth and tasting him as she sucked. She pulled away to look at it before she popped it back into her mouth like a lollipop, sucking and bobbing as she started to take more of him in. Natsu shuddered as he felt her warm wet mouth wrap around him and he so badly wanted to grab her head and fuck her mouth but he had to remind himself that Lucy wasn't like the other girls who wanted that. This was her first time with a dick in her mouth nonetheless a dick in front of her period.

"F—fuck..!" Natsu gasped out as he felt his stomach tighten when she grabbed his balls while she sucked. "Goddamn it, Lucy..!"

Natsu tried to pull her away but she grabbed onto him, pulling him by the waist as he released his semen into her mouth. He was bewildered and somewhat proud as the girl swallowed his load entirely and grinned up at him.

If he wasn't in love before, he was now.

"Where did you learn how to do that?" He was breathless as he grabbed her to pull her up on her feet, flipping her over on the bed.

Lucy only giggled, batting her eyelashes at him. "I think you forget I read a lot."

"Oh, so you're reading porn and learning, huh?" He kissed her on the neck, making her laugh. "What else do you know?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

"Oh, I do, Miss Heartfillia," he was purring in her ear, hands roaming as she arched her body into his. "Teach me your ways."

Lucy was giggling up a storm as Natsu nuzzled himself into her neck, tickling her with his hot breath as she smelt the alcohol. She hiccuped and felt hazy herself, blurred versions of Natsu coming into her vision as she eventually could focus but the important part was that she was still sane and more than ready for him. She still didn't know what they were and what was going to happen but as she watched him roll a condom down his throbbing cock, she was blindsided by everything else.

Feeling him ease into her, Lucy could feel her eyes roll as she moaned out loud, head dropping down on the bed.

Sex was always something she was interested in. Reading endless novels of love and romance and smut, she was intrigued in how it would actually be like in real life. The dangers and ickiness of swapping fluids and being butt naked with someone was scary to her and in a way she was glad she had enough liquid courage in her to mask how anxious and scared she truly was when it came to being intimate. Natsu was such a great person to start this journey with since he was experienced and he was more than gentle, ensuring she was enjoying herself and comfortable.

As she felt him bury himself deep inside of her, she lost her breath as Natsu pulled out to snap his hips against hers making her feel it even deeper. Her nails dug into his shoulder as she screamed, legs shaking and body quaking.

"I love listening to you moan," Natsu whispered into her ear as he kept a steady pace, rocking his hips. "You are so fucking sexy."

Mouth open and eyes wide, Lucy gasped as Natsu slid out all the way before he plunged himself back deep inside of her. The familiar feeling of her body tightening and a wave of pleasure washing over her had her crying out.

"Do you like that?" He licked up her throat, feeling her trembling in his arms. "Can you feel me stretching you out? How deep I am inside of you?"

"N—Natsu..!" She whimpered out, embarrassed but incredibly turned on.

"Tell me what you want," he said, slowing his pace. This made Lucy whine, wrapping her legs around his waist to try to pull him closer. "I won't know if you don't tell me."

"Natsu..!" She whined once more, turning to look away. "T—this is embarrassing..!"

"Is that why you're soaking wet right now?" He grinned, looking down at her reddened face. "It seems like you like this."

She pouted, bottom lip pushed out as she didn't know how to respond. While having him go slow and steady was good, it wasn't enough. She wanted him to pound into her until she was screaming his name for the entire house to hear and it was only making her want him more. But with how inexperienced she was, she was trembling in embarrassment as he spoke lewd things in her ear.

"Tell me, Lucy," he said as a shiver ran down her spine. "How do you want it?"

"H—hard.." she said as Natsu snapped his hips against hers. "More..!"

He was grunting as he kept slapping his hips against hers earning loud moans from the woman under him.

"Faster!"

Natsu had sat up on his knees, grabbing her by the hips as he started to pound into her repeatedly. She was a mess underneath him as she had a fistful of the sheets, mouth open, drooling, and in bliss. He was just turned on by looking at her, moaning along with her as he felt her wetness squeeze him. He pulled out of her before he could climax, his breath heavy as Lucy whimpered from the loss.

"T—turn around.." he ordered as Lucy flipped over, on her hands and knees. He saw the roundness of her ass and the thin tan lines making him grin, slapping her on the bottom as she squeaked. He roughly grabbed her hips and pulled her towards him, burying himself deep inside of her as she gasped. "Oh, fuck."

"Y—you're so.. deep!"

When they were done, they were both breathless and beat as they laid in bed covered in sweat. Lucy was still faced down in bed as she struggled to move while Natsu laid on his back, eyes glued to the ceiling as he panted heavily. His body was in pure bliss, body tingling as he came down from his high.

He was sobering up a bit as he blinked back the beads of sweat that rolled down, brushing his bangs out of his face as they stuck to his forehead. He turned to look over at Lucy who was slowly nodding off, a low chuckle coming out of his lips. He turned on his side to brush her hair out of her face, seeing how her eyes fluttered open to look at his. She reeked of alcohol and her face was flushed as he smiled down at her.

"You can take a nap. I can wake you in an hour."

"What about you?"

"I was going to check up on everyone and see where Gajeel and Rogue are."

Lucy frowned at this as Natsu tucked her hair behind her ear, trailing his finger down her shoulder and back as he took her in.

"I don't want to be by myself."

"You don't have to," he leaned in to press a kiss against her forehead. "I can stay."

"We should check up on them, though," Lucy groaned as she pushed herself up. She sat on her knees as she blinked, rubbing her eyes as Natsu's eyes were now wandering on her naked body. He licked his lips, feeling his dick twitch as he saw her perky nipples greeting him once more.

"Or.. we could maybe go again," he suggested, hand on her thigh as he slowly felt her up. "You look like you need some more attention."

Lucy swatted his hand away and scowled, making him frown and give her puppy-eyes.

"You won't nap with me so you don't deserve another round."

"Maybe if you gave me another round I would take a nap."

"No you wouldn't," she blushed harder, slapping his wandering hand away. "Come on."

"Just so you're aware, you're the one who brought me up here."

Lucy shot him a glare, grabbing her swimsuit on the floor of her bedroom as he laid there watching her. "I did not!"

"Puh-lease," he rolled his eyes, flipping over on his stomach to cup his head. "You were saying shit in my ear all day and then you kissed me. You practically dragged my ass up here and were begging me with those 'fuck-me' eyes of yours."

Lucy gawked at him, cheeks growing hotter as she realized her drunkenness was slowly going away. "I—I was not!"

"You don't have to be shy now," he snickered, eyes slowly trailing up her naked body as she scrambled to cover herself up. "I liked it and it clearly worked."

"Ugh!" She threw his swim trunks at him, the material slapping against his face. "Pervert!"

"Says the one who was screaming for more—!"

"Natsu!" She squealed, throwing her swimsuit at him now as he was continuously slapped in the face with the garments. "Shut your mouth!"

"You know you like it," he stood up to slowly walk over to her. Lucy tensed up and guarded herself, putting her hand out between them. "Look at you, your body doesn't lie."

"D—don't come any closer!"

"Not so confident since I fucked the drunk out of you, huh?"

"Damn it, Natsu!" Lucy cried out as she bumped into the wall, her head whipping to look for an exit as Natsu approached. "Stay away!"

"You know you don't want me to," he was now leaning in, hand against the wall by her head as his breath tickled her nose. He looked down at her with low eyes as the blonde trembled underneath his hot gaze. He could see how she squeezed her knees together and had her arm covering her hard nipples that screamed for him to suck on them again as he licked his lips. He used his other hand to trail it down her curves, feeling how she shivered under his touch. "Tell me to stop if you don't want me."

Lucy was quiet other than her whimpers and heavy breathing. She had her bottom lip in between her teeth as she felt Natsu's warm hand trail against her skin, her womanhood throbbing for his touch. She did want him again but she wouldn't admit that as her throat ran dry. She just closed her eyes and let him get closer to her as she allowed him to touch her between her legs.

"You're so wet, Lucy," he whispered to her as he felt her slick folds. "Are you sure you don't want me?"

"S—shut up…" Lucy pouted, head turned the other way as Natsu chuckled. She arched her back into his chest when she felt him graze against her swollen nub, a gasp flying out of her lips. She let out a low shaky moan as she looked to see Natsu's dark eyes boring into hers, a smirk on his lips as he wet his fingers. He soon pushed into her as her eyes widened, her hand finding its way to his shoulders and arm to steady herself against the wall. "Natsu..!"

"You're so wet," Natsu groaned as he felt her walls clamp around his fingers. "Tell me, Luce, what turns you on like this? Is it my fingers?" He pushed himself deeper into her as she let out a mewl. "Or are you thinking about my cock inside of you?"

Lucy could only moan out a response, her hand grabbing onto his bicep as he pumped his long thick fingers in and out of her.

A loud knock on the door had Lucy gasping as her head and Natsu's head whipped to look at the door right next to them. Natsu slapped his hand against her mouth as the doorknob jiggled before another knock was heard.

"Lu!" Levy's muffled voice was heard. "Lu, it's me, Levy! Open up!"

Lucy's eyes wide as she turned to look at Natsu. They locked eyes again as Natsu's mischievous grin came back, fingers still deep inside of her. Lucy shook her head, eyes wide while grabbing his hand off her mouth. "It's Levy..!"

"You want her to hear us?" He whispered back as he pumped his finger in and out of her. Lucy squirmed as she tried to push his hand away.

"S—stop..! She's right.. there..!"

"So, respond to her," he said as if his fingers weren't inside of her. Lucy shuddered as she felt Natsu curl his finger and push up making her squeak and slap her hand against her mouth.

"Lu?" She jiggled the doorknob again.

"Y—yeah!" Lucy shouted back, breath heavy. Natsu only snickered, watching her squirm uncomfortably as he kept curling his finger inside of her to make her open her mouth in a silent cry. "I—I'm here!"

"Lu, is everything alright? Open the door, you don't sound so good.."

"I—I'm fine!" Lucy gasped as Natsu pressed his thumb against her swollen nub. She felt him rub in circles as he pumped his fingers in and out of her as her arms trembled while trying to push him away. He continued to go faster and faster, making Lucy bite down on her lip and whimper. "I was just t—throwing up..! I had a lot to drink..!"

"Want me to grab you some water?"

"Yes!" Lucy cried out as Natsu hit a good spot. Natsu raised his eyebrows at her as his lips curved up in an amused and satisfied way. "Yes, that'll be great! Thank you!"

"I'll be right back!"

The sounds of her feet going down the hall allowed her to release as Lucy cried out, legs shaking as Natsu felt her liquid gold squirt up his hand and arm. He kissed her to drown out her moans and felt her slide down the wall as he fell to the ground with her, helping her come down from her bliss.

"Now, that wasn't so hard was it?"

"Go fuck yourself," Lucy's face was ablaze as she pushed him away. "You need to leave before Levy comes back!"

Natsu just threw his hands up, snatching his swim trunks that were on the ground as he sucked on his coated fingers. This made her stare at him, mouth wide open and eyes glued to his lips that were wrapped around the fingers that were just inside of her. She could feel her heart racing and her pussy throbbing for him, nipples perked up from the excitement. Natsu just snickered as he was now clothed, offering a salute her way before he hopped off her balcony. Lucy just gawked, scrambling to run to see if he was hurt but when she saw no trace of him, she was left there with so many questions.

A pounding on the door had her whirling herself around, gasping as she realized she was still naked. She quickly ran back inside of her room and struggled to pull her bottoms up as Levy pounded louder. Strings of curses flew out and she opened the door, tits out as the bluenette gawked at her.

"Why are you half-naked?"

"I got hot," she lied, bottom lip between her teeth. "Sorry, Levy, I was trying to nap and I suddenly felt sick and started throwing up and didn't even realize."

"Are you feeling better?" She entered as she handed her a bottle of water. "Maybe you should stop drinking so much."

"Yeah," she let out a breathy sigh, following her. "But it's the last night and I'm having so much fun."

"I know you are," Levy wagged her eyebrows at the blonde who turned beet red.

"Y—you're one to talk!" Lucy squeaked as now it was her turn to blush. Levy kept her face downwards as she rummaged through her bag.

"I—it's nothing like you and Natsu!"

"There's nothing going on between us!"

"Tell that to yourself when you're five drinks in and sitting on his lap with your tongue down his throat!"

Lucy scowled, crossing her arms and turning her head away. She bit down on her tongue as she remembered the sweet memory he burned into her head right before he hopped off the balcony. It made her knees a bit weak as she let out a soft breath, swallowing the lump in her throat.

"Do you know where Cana is?" Levy's voice snapped her out of her daydream. "I haven't seen that girl since this morning."

"Probably with that guy," Lucy shrugged it off as she was now changing. "Let's go look for her."

"I don't want to hear her!"

"Y—you're right let's just leave her be…"

.

.

Sitting next to each other at the bonfire, Levy and Lucy were giggling about the latest gossip as they roasted marshmallows over the fire. They shared a blanket over their shoulders while their faces were flushed from the alcohol they consumed throughout the hours of the night. ht. There was so much chatter around them as the party was in full swing, the house packed like sardines once more.

"He said that?" Levy's eyes were wide, mouth ajar as Lucy nodded. "How does that make you feel?"

"I don't know how much of it I should trust," the blonde shrugged, eyes on the fire in front of her. "He tends to lie."

"Well, business is all sugar-coated."

Lucy just offered a wry smile as Levy leaned against her shoulder, offering her comfort.

"Maybe you should think of this as a new chapter," the bluenette said. She pulled her marshmallow that was in flames towards her, blowing it out quickly. "You always wanted a relationship with your dad."

"Yeah, but how far could we even go? I'm not a little kid anymore.."

"Yeah, but it doesn't hurt to try."

Lucy just nodded as her marshmallow now caught on fire, pulling it away from the fire. She grabbed her graham crackers and chocolate, sandwiching the warm gooey fluff in between. She put it to her mouth to take a bite, chocolate and marshmallow smeared on her lips.

"So, can we actually talk about you and Natsu, now?"

Levy's words pierced through the blonde like an arrow, marshmallow and crackers rising up her throat as she choked. She felt the pounding of her friend's hand on her back as she struggled to breath, bringing up her red solo cup to her mouth to relieve the pain.

"Geez, right to the point, Levy," Lucy laughed weakly as her best friend wagged her eyebrows at her. "Well, great thing you caught me when I'm drunk because my body seems to gravitate towards him when I'm intoxicated."

"Oh trust me, we all know…"

Lucy flushed at that but a giggle came bubbling out as she felt the alcohol burn inside her body.

"You won't believe it," Lucy said, making Levy lean in close as if she was telling her a dirty secret. "Apparently Natsu and I are childhood friends."

"No way."

"Yes, way. And to make it better, his family and my family are friends, too. Like, this home was mine and my mom gifted it to them a long time ago! I used to come here a lot!"

"Shut. Up."

"And!" Lucy realized how loud she was becoming as she leaned in to whisper. "Natsu has had a crush on me since we were six."

"Shut up!"

The two were squealing as others around the bonfire gave them odd looks, their own marshmallow caught on fire, oblivious to their sweet treat that perished. This only made Lucy fan herself and drink from her cup, not too drunk to feel the embarrassment.

"And… we had sex… again."

"Lucy!" Levy squeaked, face red and eyes wide. "You horn dog!"

"Levy, I don't know what to do," she whined, head leaning against the petite shoulders. "We haven't even talked about any of it. We're just too drunk."

"Well, I think you should definitely talk about it before anything goes down."

"Yeah, but now that I'm not going to be drunk every time we talk, I'm afraid. I can barely look at the guy!"

"Natsu's a good looking guy, I'm sure it's hard."

"Why, thank you," Natsu's voice suddenly joined in making them both squeal in horror and surprise.

"Quit doing that!"

"You two talkin' about me?" He offered a wide grin as he took a seat right next to Lucy, legs spread out as he cocked his head to the side. His cheeks were flushed and he reeked of beer as he nursed one in his hands, wet spots spattered on his shirt as if he got a drink thrown on him.

Levy could only nudge the blonde as Lucy could feel the heat rising to her face again, body itching to be pressed against his.

"Just talking about how handsome you are," Lucy almost purred, making Levy nudge her harder. "Y'know, especially your cousin over there." She nudged her right back.

This time, Levy was turning red, mouth ajar as she looked over at her best friend who had a sloppy smile on her face, eyes locked on the male. Natsu had a glint of playfulness sparkling in his eyes as the fire danced around them. His lips pulled up into a smirk and he now turned to look at the bluenette who was refusing to look at him.

"Why don't you go talk to him?"

"W—w—why would I?!" She sputtered, narrowing her eyes. "I don't care about that idiot!"

"Oh, Levy, stop being so coy," Lucy teased, nudging her knee against hers as she gawked. "Go talk to him! I'm sure he misses your company!"

"Gajeel talks about you a lot," Natsu took a sip of his drink as Levy whipped her head to look at him.

"He.. does?" Her question came out hushed that Lucy barely heard but Natsu seemed to have heard it as he nodded. "About.. what?"

"You." Was all he said, shrugging. "He's been watching you like a hawk this whole time."

Levy could only feel the pounding of her heart as she whirled her head around to see if anyone was watching and she felt the air escape her lungs when she quickly gained eye contact with a red pair of eyes that had been looking at her. He was quick to look away, pretending he was doing something or looking at his drink as he awkwardly and very obviously tried to hide behind a couple of people.

The bluenette could only snort, covering her mouth as she turned to look at her best friend who was giving her a look of encouragement and love, eyes wide and lips spread across her glowing face.

"Go talk to him!"

"W—what do I say?"

"You clearly haven't had a lot to drink," Lucy teased as she forcibly pushed her red solo cup into her small hands. "Take a drink and just go over and talk about… uh…"

"The bio project!" Natsu said making Levy shoot him a look.

"You mean our bio project that you didn't help with at all?"

Natsu grimaced at the tone the small one was throwing at him as he took a sip of his own drink, eyes darting away from the fierce ones.

"Oh, well, I wanted to give you and Gajeel some time…" He rubbed the back of his neck, looking over at Lucy quickly to indicate he needed some back up. "And who am I to butt in between you two?"

"Because it's not just Gajeel and my project it's yours too and—"

"Gajeel!" Lucy suddenly shouted, waving her hand in the air. This made Levy choke on her spit, eyes wide as she looked over at the grinning blonde. "Hey! Right here!" She was loud and it made Levy's heart race as she fumbled with the cup of liquid Lucy had given her. She drowned the burning drink of whatever it was and hissed, feeling the liquor slide down her esophagus. She tried to snatch Natsu's beer out of his hands but he resisted, whining about how it was his while she hissed at him, the two playing tug of war with his can.

"What?" His deep voice sent shivers down her spine. Her entire body went cold as she looked right at Natsu who was also smiling devilishly.

"Gajeel, Levy needed a drink but she also said she was kind of hungry," Lucy said, a sly smile on her lip as Levy was now plotting multiple different ways to get back at her. "But she doesn't know where the kitchen is!"

Natsu coughed to hide the laugh that was threatening to bubble out, his eyes darting from the three.

"The kitchen? It's right—"

"Go, Levy!" Lucy was quick to grab her by the arm, nudging her towards the towering body. "And bring me a drink, too!"

"Me, too!" Natsu piped up but the way Levy was looking at him made him press his lips into a tight line, the corners still curled up.

The look Levy was throwing at them made Lucy pray she got drunk enough she would forget the situation as Gajeel teased her about her height once more, asking if her brain was as small as she was. This resulted in a fit of rage and they argued, walking away as they brushed shoulders, leaving Lucy to sigh happily while Natsu watched her.

"Playing matchmaker?"

"Levy just needs a push, she's shy."

"And you aren't?"

"I am," Lucy smiled as she grabbed the beer can from his hands. Natsu obliged, leaning against his knee with his elbow as she glowed for him. "That's why we have each other and Cana. Cana is really the one to push us but while I am this many drinks in, I might as well fill in since she is a bit busy…" her eyes flickered towards the brunette who was allowing the said male drink down her cleavage. Fits of cheers and laughter erupted from the group as they fought who was next to drink down her large wet tits.

Natsu quirked a brow at the sight, turning to look back at the blonde who was sipping from his can.

"I wanted to talk to you about something."

"What?" She adjusted the blanket around her shoulders, pushing them down to bundle around her lap instead. She moved the can from one hand to the other as she sat back, leg crossed over her knee as she gave him her full attention.

Somehow, this intimated Natsu as he coughed, sitting back as well to appear bigger. He held his hand out for the beer can but Lucy just stuck her tongue out at him, cradling the can to her chest like a stuffed animal. He just rolled his eyes, accepting defeat before he pulled out another bottle from his back pocket like magic. Lucy just gawked at him as he laughed, opening it with his teeth to pop it into the fire. It sizzled and popped, creating a large spark before it died down.

"I wanted to ask you if you'd like to be my girl."

Lucy whipped her head to look over at the pink-haired one, eyes wide. The silence between them was loud and clear, the fire crackling, the laughter echoing, music booming, but nothing between the two.

Lucy didn't know how to respond as she's never even been prepared for a question like that. Truth be told, she thought her first boyfriend was going to ask her in the most romantic, panty-dropping, heart-stopping way with a big sign and balloons and maybe even flower petals guiding her way but now that she looked over her life currently, she wondered if Natsu was even capable of something that romantic. But did she even want to date Natsu? She'd like to get to know him some more before committing but did that make her a bitch to just sleep with the man, throw herself over him whenever she got a drop of alcohol in her, and then lead him to asking her to be his girlfriend? What did girlfriends even do? Did she even qualify to be a girlfriend?

Lucy felt dizzy trying to fight with her inner monologue, finding herself in an awkward and tight situation as Natsu realized she was in a panic.

"Okay, whoa," he quickly shot his hand out, a small laugh coming out. He scooted closer, bumping knees with her as he leaned towards her. "Okay, let me rephrase that so you don't freak out even more,"

"I—I'm not freaking out..!" She squeaked out but she was indeed freaking out.

"You look like you can barely breathe," his eyes rolled at her. "Okay, um, I want you to be my girlfriend."

"H—how is this any better than before?!"

"You have an option, Lucy," he kept his voice leveled and eyes on her to keep her calm. "I'm not saying you need to give me your answer now or—"

"No."

Natsu instantly shut his mouth to look at her in a bewildered way, his eyebrows shooting upwards in surprise as the blonde stared right back at him. He looked like a gaping fish out of water and was honestly not expecting her answer to come out so quickly nor her answer to be no. He's never really had anyone tell him no and for some reason something inside of him clicked.

"Well, that was fast."

"Natsu, we barely know each other," she turned her head away, a slight pout on her lips. "I don't want my first boyfriend to be a stranger."

"Where were you this entire week or even earlier today? Did you forget we were childhood friends and—"

"Besides the point," Lucy rolled her eyes. "Do you even know my favorite color? My favorite movie? Song? Where do I like to hang out? The foods I like to eat?"

Natsu was quiet, looking at her in slight amusement as she rambled.

"I don't want my first boyfriend to be someone who barely knows me. You haven't even asked me out on a first date for me to see if you're worth a second date or even a chance! And by the way, this was the most unromantic, uncinematic, boring way to ask a girl out! "

"Oh, but us having sex is not a part of that?"

"T—that doesn't count!" Lucy sputtered, face growing red at his grinning one. She whipped her head behind her to try and hide her blush. "Ugh, where is Levy and that drink?!"

"What, so, you're saying no because we haven't even gotten on a first date?"

"I'm saying no because you did this all wrong and backwards," she scowled, waving her hand at him. "It's not going to be that easy. You have to try harder than that, Dragneel." She turned back to look at him, a slight smile on her lip as he smiled right back.

"Is that a challenge?" He suddenly felt giddy, a smirk crawling up his face.

"However you want to put it," she shrugged, sipping on the beer that's now growing warm. "But I expect some romance before you get to claim any of this," she pointed at herself, drawing a big circle.

Natsu could only nod, a wide grin on his face as he stuck his hand out. "You're on!"

Lucy eyed his hand and a small smirk came to her lips, sticking out her hand to grasp his. An instant jolt ran down her body and she was tingling from her fingertips to her toes as she looked at the male. Her heart was pounding and for some odd reason, she felt like his heart was, too.

"Can I at least have a kiss?"

"Only a smooch."

"Fine," Natsu said, leaning down to peck her right on the lips. It made them both warm and tingly as they smiled at each other. "One more?"

"Are we interrupting something here?" Levy's voice brought them back, making Lucy whip her head around to blush.

"N—no!"

"Seems like we did miss something." Gajeel's eyes were on their hands making Lucy flush and try to take her hand away but Natsu's grip tightened.

"Let go!"

"As you wish," Natsu said before he pulled her hand to his lips to press a soft kiss against the back of her hand. This made Lucy's entire body tingle and her heart throb as she looked at the mischievous grin he had on his stupid tan face. She could only scowl and think about the Princess Bride as he let go of her palm, the back of her hand still warm from his kiss. "I'm going to set up the fireworks. You comin'?" His eyes flickered at his cousin, his free hand shoved into his pockets.

Gajeel just simply nodded, giving Levy one last glance who twisted her head away from his point of view and the two were off, hands waving behind them.

"What was that about?" Levy asked, sitting down as she handed Lucy another red solo cup with liquid filled to the brim.

Lucy was shaking slightly as she could see the liquid ripple under her hold, her heart struggling to come back and her cheeks hot from which she blamed the fire and alcohol.

"Well, Natsu just asked me to be his girlfriend."

Whatever Levy was drinking was spit out, a fountain of alcohol flying into the fire where it grew into a large angry flame. This had the girls squealing and the others watched in shock, seeing how Levy was wiping the corner of her mouth. The bluenette didn't even seem to care about that. Instead, was staring right at her best friend whose eyes were wide and glued on the once large bonfire.

"Wha—what?! What did you say?! What did he say?! How did he say it?! Ohmigosh, Lu! This is huge!"

"I said no."

If the world was coming to an end, Levy would be completely oblivious as she stared right at the one next to her who was casually drinking from her cup she provided her. She looked so calm and nonchalant it was somehow pissing the blue one off.

"What!"

"What?"

"What!"

"What?!"

"You said no?" Levy screeched as Lucy winced. "Why?! I thought you liked him, too?!"

"Well, yeah," Lucy felt her blush coming back to her cheeks. "I do but I'm not going to give in that easily."

"Isn't the whole point of this dating aspect to end in a title driven relationship?! He asked you to be his girlfriend! And you said no! Why?!"

"Levy, stop shouting!" Lucy put her finger to her lips, looking around to see others had scooted a bit closer to listen to their conversation. It made her scowl and pull the blue one closer, whispering in her ear. "I told Natsu that I'd like to get to know him before we establish any titles. Don't you think it's weird that my first boyfriend doesn't know anything about me?"

"That's the whole point of dating, Lu!"

"Listen, it seemed to fire him up when I told him that. He wants to try and honestly, some romance would be nice!" Lucy snapped as Levy rolled her eyes. "He just came over and asked me out! So lame! Nothing!"

"It's Natsu we're talking about. Did you expect him to come up to you riding a horse drawn carriage and take you to town with a bundle of roses and a fucking diamond ring?"

"He can try! I'm not going to be that easy."

"As easy as having sex—?"

"Levy!" Lucy screeched to wack her on the arm. The drink in Levy's hand split a bit, splashing the ground and wetting her leg as the bluenette scowled. "Sorry." Lucy was quick to apologize as she saw the incident, a sheepish smile on her face. "But anyways, we're going to start from the beginning. We haven't even gotten on a proper date! How am I going straight to girlfriend title when we haven't even gotten on a date?!"

"Y'know, some girls would kill to go straight into a relationship, especially with Natsu Dragneel."

"Oh, he's nothing special, he's just another guy." Lucy scoffed.

Levy just let out a loud groan, leaning against her chair as she looked up into the dark sky. There weren't many clouds present to cover up the beauty of Akane beach but the smoke from the bonfire had covered up most of her view as she listened to the background noise. Lucy was being stupid she concluded. Natsu was rubbing off on her or the alcohol she had consumed throughout the week was getting to her because how could she say no! Natsu was basically head over heels for this girl and Lucy seemed to be giving off strong feelings for him but here she was, being stupid, and rejecting the said male. The most popular and hottest male at Magnolia High! And he was rich! And strong! And sweet! And rich! And—!

"Levy?"

Craning her neck to see Lucy was now standing, the blonde had her eyebrows knitted in between her eyes.

"I said, do you want to go get a better view of the fireworks over there? I see Cana waving us over."

Levy just sighed, standing up from her own seat to take a sip of her drink as Lucy gathered the blanket they were sharing. The couple made their way over to where Cana was bouncing, arms waving and attracting attention from those around as her large tits swung around like butter in a sock. The hungry eyes of those were heated before the couple came over to the burnette who was a giggling hiccuping mess.

"Why, ain't it my two best friends in the whole wide world!" Cana wrapped her arms around the two who cursed when their drinks spilt. "How ya doing?"

"Where's lover boy?"

"He's helping with the fireworks," Cana waved her hand out. "I figured we should get the best spot!" She showed them the spot she reserved right by the edge of the cliff. "Since Mrs. over here didn't get to see them properly last night." She teased making Lucy pop red. Lucy scowled at her friend, taking a sip of her drink while she looked away.

"Natsu asked her to be his girlfriend and she said no."

Cana's face shifted from happiness to shock to confusion to anger in a split second, turning to look at the busty one who suddenly spit her drink out in a spray of stickiness.

"What!"

"Levy, why'd you have to tell her!"

"You weren't going to tell me?!"

"She deserves to know how much of an idiot you are!"

"How am I an idiot for saying no?!"

"You said no to Natsu Dragneel?!"

"Cana, please!"

"Isn't she stupid?"

"The stupidest!"

"Thanks guys!"

Bickering back and forth between the three, people began to realize how rowdy and weird the trio were. They couldn't quite understand what they were bickering about but the way they were screaming at one another did not bring any welcoming vibes to the group.

"Guys, can we not talk about this?!"

"Why, not?! You and Dragneel have been the most interesting thing to happen since 'nam!"

"Cana!"

"Oh, psh, even 'nam wasn't as interesting!"

"Okay, fine!" Lucy threw her hands up, setting her cup down to avoid any more splashes. "Want to talk about love life? How about you," she pointed right at Levy who bursted into crimson. "You have a crush on some metal-face punk and are in denial while you two flirt like two dogs in heat and you have the audacity to judge me! And you!" Cana raised a brow at her friend who was pointing her perfect manicured figure at her. "You're all over some drunk asshole that we don't even know and are jumping his bones every second! He's the reason we stayed another night!"

"Yeah, but that's just sex," Cana rolled her eyes, hand planted on her hip. "I don't want to date the dumbass. I just want that delicious cock of his."

Levy now had steam rolling out of her ears as she watched her two girlfriends bicker back and forth, unsure if they were angry or embarrassed or even having fun as they had a small smile on their lips.

"But for real, why'd you say no?"

"I don't know him!" Lucy cried out, throwing her hands in the air. "I don't want my first boyfriend to be a stranger!"

"What's the whole point of dating then?" Cana had her face scrunched up, looking at the face-palming blonde and the bluenette who was shaking her head back and forth. "Well, geez! Then let me at him!" Cana had a shit-eating grin on her face making Lucy shoot her a look while Levy looked at Lucy for her reaction. "HA! See! You totally like him!"

"I—I didn't say I didn't!" Lucy was now getting frustrated, stomping her foot on the ground. "I just don't want to be his girlfriend, yet!"

"Yet." Cana echoed, leaning into Levy with her hand over her mouth. Levy mirrored her, a smirk on her face.

"She totally liiiiiikes him."

Opening her mouth to scream back at her friends, a squeal of a firework zipping through the air caught everyone's attention. The small firework zipped through with a shriek and ascended into the air before it popped, a small display of color and gunpowder exploding into the air. Then they followed the line of smoke that came from the small thing to see Natsu standing on top of the roof, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Testing!" He claimed as others started to chatter excitedly. Sting was over the moon as he rushed inside, screaming about how he wants to set one off.

"Speaking of our men," Cana purred into Lucy's ear as she glowed red.

Gajeel, Bacchus, Rogue, and Natsu were on top of the roof, two cardboard boxes full of fireworks as they shifted through which ones to fire first. Gajeel had a pair of matches in his hands he was zipping through to light the ends Rogue was holding as Bacchus had a very large one in his hands, a wicked grin on his face. Natsu seemed to be the only one, considering he was the pyromaniac, sane as he was looking down into the crowd with wide sparkling eyes which Lucy remembered he called 'fuck-me' eyes. And then it dawned on her he was looking right at her.

She shook her head in denial, looking away quickly to scan the area before she looked right back up to see he was still staring at her. Her heart throbbed inside of her chest and she scowled at him, confirming he was looking at her as he grinned and waved in her general direction.

She just looked away, again, unable to handle the emotions running through her. She was quick to grab her cup, swallowing one third of her cup in one swig as the laughter of the maniac echoed throughout the place.

"He's totally watching you." Levy whispered towards her friend who just cursed out loud. "And he looks like an animal in heat, ready to pounce."

"Well, who wouldn't!" Cana exclaimed, the bottom of her palm coming in contact with Lucy's ass which created a loud slap. Lucy squealed and jerked her body away, a hand over her now hot cheek as she scowled at her grinning friend. "Come on, Hot stuff! Come to mama!"

"Knock it off, Cana!"

"Aw, not enough drinks in ya tonight?" Cana cooed, coming over to wrap her arms around the blonde who shrieked and struggled against the strong grasps of the drunk. Her hands slid down her roundness and grabbed a handful of her cheeks.

"Hey!" Natsu's voice echoed throughout the backyard, loud enough for some people to hear but those who were too drunk or into their partners didn't even bat an eye. "Paws off you horny bitch!"

"She ain't yours!"

"Not yet!"

Wolf whistles and shouts were thrown Lucy's way as Natsu's clear declaration was delivered loud and proud. This just made her grow even redder, turning to look away as Cana and Levy teased her further.

And yet another whistle of a firework zipping through was heard as the loud bang from the small thing exploded into the air, erupting colors and smoke in the night sky. Everyone was now in awe, seeing how the vibrate colors exploded and how they boys were setting them off one by one.

Lucy was watching in amazement, her wide eyes reflecting the colors that exploded and her mouth slightly ajar. She felt the excitement inside of her swell as she remembered sitting with her mom, watching the fireworks in the night sky. She didn't know where they were or why they were there in the first place but she could feel the goosebumps and tingles down her spine as she felt the emotions swirl inside of her. It felt so warm and nostalgic, a small smile coming to her lips as one after another continued to go off.

Unknowingly, Natsu was watching her the whole time, eyes locked in and his heart pounding, a smile mirroring his face while the explosives decorated the night sky in color.

The ride home was indeed a wild one. With Lucy, Cana, and Levy squeezed into the convertible, Natsu was feeling more like a chauffeur than a friend at that point. Lucy was all twisted and turned to talk to her girlfriends, laughing about this or that while her hair whipped around. Going on the highway was a nightmare as he had all three girls in his ear, screaming about putting the hood up as their hairs wildly danced. He finally gave in when he caught a mouthful of hair, choking as he almost swerved into the next lane over.

And now as he drove down the road back to Magnolia, he was beyond irritated since he wanted to get some time with his favorite girl. Every time he tried to sneak a touch she would slap his hand away, scowling at him with that cute blush of hers but eventually he got annoyed as the back of his palm pulsed in pain.

He knew he should have just called someone to drop the girls off and now his regret bloomed as Lucy's blonde hair whipped into his mouth.

"Alright," Natsu's annoyed voice echoed through the car, fingers dialing down the volume on his radio. "Where the fuck am I going?"

"Someone doesn't seem so happy," Cana teased as she leaned forward, poking him on the ear which he jerked away. "Is someone upset they had to sleep alone last night?"

"Cana!" Lucy scowled, ears growing red. "Stop teasing him!"

The drunk only stuck her tongue out, taking a swig of the expensive stuff she claimed wasn't up for grabs unless it was hers. Natsu had to pry her hand off a lot of the stuff before they left and he wasn't sure how much of his liquor was stolen from her but he didn't dare to check in her bag that clinked shamelessly in his trunk.

Natsu could only have a small smile tug in the corners of his mouth as he heard her stick up for him, a sense of relief washing over him.

"I live down the street from Cana," Levy said as she leaned forward. "I can walk from her place."

Natsu obliged as he drove down the familiar streets of his hometown, coming to a stop as the girls in his car started to pile out. He got out to help, opening his trunk as he could clearly see the bottles of liquor now sprawled across his trunk. He shot a disapproving look at the brunette who smiled sheepish, quickly shoving them back into her duffle.

"Just something for the road!"

"You're a fuckin' thief."

"Ah-ah," Cana put a slim finger up to his face. "We can share our women but not liquor?"

"Cana!" Lucy's screeching voice came from behind once more as Natsu smirked.

"Touché."

Cana only gave him a wink before slugging her duffle behind her shoulder, coming to her girl-friends who were waiting for her. She was first to fling her arms around them, the trio hugging tightly as if it was the last night they would ever see each other, again. Natsu only lingered behind, rolling his eyes at the dramatic moment they held as they whined and cried about missing one another and seeing each other on Monday.

He could only really pick at his nail beds as they unceremoniously hugged and bid farewell. He didn't quite hear what they were whispering to each other but all he knew was Lucy was embarrassed and was painfully swatting at her two friends who giggled and squealed.

Soon, she was stomping over to him and grabbing his arm to tug him back to the convertible while her girlfriends waved goodbye with a shit-eating grin on their faces.

The ride back was quiet as Lucy gathered her thoughts, cheeks blazed as she huffed. He didn't know if he should even ask as she continued to sigh loudly, fidgeting in her spot and grumbling under her breath. But after the tenth sigh, he started to get irritated.

"What's on your mind?"

She only narrowed her eyes, unsure if she should respond or not as he drove towards her large estate.

"You can just drop me off at the gate." Natsu ignored her, driving past her home and up the road as she spun around to gawk at her home that grew smaller by the second. "You just drove past my house!"

"So?" He scoffed, a wicked grin coming to his face. "Thought it'll be that easy to get away from me?"

"Wh—what?!"

"Your dad said you have to be home for dinner so I'll drop you off before dinner."

"Where are we going?"

"I'm taking my girl out on a date."

"A date?" She echoed, gave scrunched up before her face grew red. "Your girl?"

"Yep," he popped the P as he drove downtown. "I want to get to know her." He had a glint in his eyes as he flickered his gaze at her. Lucy could only flinch at the sight, heart pounding as she whipped her head to look away. "Now, what are you in the mood for? You look like a type that likes fatty foods."

"I do not!"

Natsu only snickered, parking his exotic in some parking lot some place downtown as he cut the engine. He turned to look at the blonde who seemed to be pouting, knees facing the door as she crossed her arms across her large chest.

He only found her cuter as his eyes wandered down her slim figure that was hidden behind her clothes.

"Come on," he got out the car first, waiting for her to fumble out. "I know this really good pizza joint."

"Fine," she grumbled, slamming the door shut in faux anger. "but you're buying me dessert!"

"I'll buy you whatever you want."

Lucy liked how he said that as she felt her body warm and her mind rush but she pretended she didn't as she stomped away from him, a cute pout on her lips as he was left trailing behind her. He just couldn't help but have such a wide smile on his face as they sat down and ordered, unwrapping straws to blow at one another and shifting through his ice water.

"Alright, Heartfillia," Natsu said as he took a long sip of his drink before he leaned back against the booth, arms hung over the ridges. "I'm going to lay it on ya."

"What?" She asked, an eyebrow quirked up.

"Well, as my girl, don't you think you should know some things about me?"

Lucy only rolled her eyes, a slight amused smile curling up on the corners of her mouth. She also leaned back into her booth, her arms crossed. "I'm pretty sure I said no."

"You said that you'd like for us to get to know each other," he paused to see her suppress her smile. "So, we're getting to know each other."

"Alright then," she rolled her eyes playfully. "Lay it on me."

"My favorite color is red. Hands down."

"My favorite is pink." Natsu opened her mouth to retort but Lucy beat him to it. "And not because of your hair!"

"Okay, fine," he hummed, going through questions in his mind. "I don't have a favorite song, currently, it switches whenever I find something new. Movie wise is the same, I don't care to sit down and watch movies. My favorite hang out spot is Fairy Tail, our family bar."

"Do you guys own Fairy Tail Cafe too or is that just a coincidence?"

"Nah, we own that, too. Mom likes to bake and whatnot even though she's never really done anything but buy it."

Lucy nodded silently, understanding how many properties the Dragneel family owned.

"I like anything and everything when it comes to food. Especially spicy. If I could eat fire I definitely would."

Lucy just snorted, swishing her straw around in her cup as she now leaned forward to lean against the table.

"I'm not too big on spicy food. I actually prefer neutral foods."

"So, you have bland taste buds?"

Lucy only scowled, kicking him under the table as he yelped.

"Seems like we're quite the opposite, darling." Her pet name sounded a little too menacing, making him gulp, rubbing the burning part of his knee. "Maybe it's the universe saying we aren't meant to be."

"Oh, haven't you heard?" He had a small smirk on his lips. "Opposite attract."

Once the sun was setting, Natsu had pulled up to the Heartfillia estates to drop the said girl off back to her father. She was a bit reluctant to leave because of her behavior but Natsu pretended not to notice as he wanted to toy with her a bit. He was going to make her want him and if that meant he had to beat off eight times a day and cry about how much he wants to touch her then so be it.

They had gotten to know each other a lot in the past couple hours from their favorite restaurants to their least favorite subjects. Natsu had learnt that she had such a strict schedule and knew how to speak four different languages including how to play eight different instruments. Not to mention she played three types of sports. While he could proudly say he knew how to play trumpet, he wasn't much of a scholar or jock. He was fit from working out and simply that as he didn't have time for sports in his busy schedule.

"You're lucky you don't have to do any extracurriculars." Lucy said as he pulled in front of her home. "It would be nice to have a break."

"Maybe that's something you can talk to your dad about tonight."

Lucy pursed her lips, unsure how to even approach such a topic as her father was awaiting her arrival. Her wary eyes traveled to the doors of her home before she looked back at Natsu who was giving her the same lip-sided grin he always sported. Somehow, it made her smile back.

"Thanks for everything. And I mean.. everything. I really had the best week of my life."

"I'm glad you did," he placed a hand on top of her golden head. "Let's do that again, sometime."

Lucy could only hear the pounding of her heart as she smiled widely. They were staring at one another as if they were expecting something but Lucy knew she didn't have the balls to lean in and kiss him and especially since she's spent every day with him for the past week, she didn't want to say goodbye. It was going to be weird to wake up in her own bed and not go straight into a pool to drink cocktails till she was shoving her tongue down his throat but a part of her wanted to stay.

Natsu knew she did by the way she just sat there, looking at him expectedly but he wasn't going to make it that easy. After all, she did say he was going to try harder and if that mean she wanted the stupid goo-goo tear-jerking, heart string pulling romance then he's going to fucking do that because he's been crushing on this girl since before they could read or write! So, as a gentleman, he got out of the car and came over to her side to open the door, tucking himself in to hold his hand out for the woman sitting in his car. She was bright pink as she held his hand and stepped out, a small giggle coming from her lips. He leaned down and pressed his warm lips against the back of her hand, tucking a strain of hair behind her ear. He could hear her breath hitch as her eyes widened, looking up at him with those wide brown eyes of hers as he saw the glint of mischief lingering.

"Goodnight, sweet Lucy," he murmured, holding onto her hand so gently. "See you on Monday, bright and early."

"You're just ridiculous, you know that?"

"I can be whatever you want me to be and more."

The glint in his eyes only made her roll her eyes and push his shoulder, stepping away from him before she passed out. But he pulled her back closer, his warmth wrapping around her body as she made a sound of surprise.

"Can I at least get a kiss goodbye?" He sounded almost too desperate. It made a shiver run down her spine as his words brought her back to the night of the bonfire where he asked her to be his girlfriend and she said no. She only had a small smile on her lips.

"Just a smooch." She chorused her line making Natsu chuckle.

"Fine," He leaned in and just pecked her right on the lips, not daring to go any further than she allowed. "Can I get one more?"

"I'll see you at school." Lucy was now laughing, pushing him away to create distance between them. She felt light-headed and the urge to stick her tongue down his throat was strong.

"I'm going to come pick you up."

"Really?"

Natsu scoffed. "Of course, I'm not going to let my girl walk to school by herself."

Lucy could only roll her eyes as she walked over to her doorstep. "You're a hundred dates too early to be calling me your girl!"

"Well, only ninety nine more to go, right?"

Lucy just wanted to run into his arms and fling herself at him as he kissed her so passionately but she resorted to chewing on her bottom lip as she blushed once more. She didn't want to say bye but she had to as she shyly waved at him one more time before disappearing into her large estate.

Natsu was quicker to head home, rummaging through his moms old DVD collection to look for all the romance movies she had as he came to the conclusion of how to woo his girl.
