For once in her hectic, busy life, Lucy was finally content with herself. After a long uncomfortable and emotional conversation with her father that felt like hours, they were finally at an agreement. While she didn't have to keep up with all her extracurriculars, she had come to a point where she would keep two out of her five lessons and she would get to pick them. Her father also insisted she was to join the gym and learn self defense and she happily agreed to that since she did start a couple summers ago and then dropped it for other courses. She also did get him to agree to have her go to places alone without the company of one of her guards at all times but he opted to have her monitored every hour just to ensure she was still alive and safe.

They spoke about the business and how this was one of the best years so far but his constant worry about the future had him jump the gun and try to marry her off to a future industry to claim a spot for her but he had realized his own mistake. He said he would try to keep her in the loop and have her involved which had her giddy as they ate dinner. He promised he would try to have meals with her at least once a day and to be more involved and then it all went south when he asked about Natsu.

She was more than reluctant to speak to her father about a potential lover and she was bright pink as she sputtered about not wanting to talk about any of it.

But, Jude knew what a man needs and wants and all he could do was smile slyly and mention how her mother loved the Dragneel family and more so their rumbustious son. This just tipped her off the edge more as she shrieked about how they were just friends!

Now, as she got ready for her first day back to school, brushing through her long golden locks, Natsu was all she could think about. She was burning with the urge to see him, again, as she was antsy the past two days of no contact. She didn't even have a phone number to reach him and while she knew she could easily obtain it, she didn't want anyone to know how desperate she truly was. She spent a long time getting ready that particular morning, plucking her eyebrows, shaving her legs, rubbing lotion on her body, and brushing through her hair a million and one times. Her freshly ironed uniform was set for her by her doorway as the maids had already gotten it prepared before the week had started.

Natsu did say he was going to come and walk her to school but that didn't indicate when he would be here. She was obviously jittery as she didn't know how to act around him!

Dragging herself down her long stairs, Lucy came into the dining room but was shell-shocked when she saw Natsu sitting at the table with her father having a casual breakfast together. Her body ran cold and her jaw was dropped as she watched how they conversed, laughing about something before his eye caught hers.

"Hey, Luce! Good mornin'!" He was bright and cheery, a wide grin on his face as hers turned crimson.

"Good morning, Lucy," Her father's voice joined in, a slight smile on his face as he drank from a large mug. "Nice of you to join us."

"Good morning, father." She ignored him, sitting down at the seat next to her father, across from the pink-haired one. "W..when did he get here?"

"He got here not too long ago. Said he came to take you to school," he mused, eyeing his daughter who was fidgeting in her seat. "So, I offered him a seat at the breakfast table since he was very kind to come and take you to school."

Lucy just grumbled under her breath as a maid poured her a cup of tea, the blonde reaching for her plate of eggs and fresh cut up fruit along with a pastry. A cup of yogurt parfait was laid out next to her plate and a cup of fresh squeezed orange juice as she tried to keep her head down from the heated look Natsu was offering across the table. She felt anxious as she could hear the sounds of his chewing and his breathing.

Suddenly, she wasn't so sure she wanted to see him so badly.

"So, Lucy, Natsu here was telling me about your trip down at Akane beach and how much fun you two had."

Lucy stiffened as she looked up to look at Natsu first who was sipping from his mug and then at her father who had an amused smile on his face.

"Y—yes..! We had a lot of fun. Levy and Cana also came and joined us."

"That sounds nice," he said as he wiped the corners of his mouth. "Natsu mentioned he'd like to go again with all of us like the good old days. How does that sound?"

Images of Natsu pounding into her in her bedroom and whispering lewd things in her ear by the pool had her choking on her spit, her hand coming up to pound on her chest as a maid nearby flew to her aid. Her face flushed crimson and she tried her best to not look at the snickering student across from her as her father looked concerned for her well-being.

"T..that'll be great!" She barely wheezed out, coughing out her lung. "I'm looking forward to it!"

"Well, since we all have agreed, I'll get in contact with Igneel to see what we could arrange for the future. Now, I must head back to my studies. You two take your time and don't be late to school." Jude finished his last bit of his coffee before he set the mug down, offering a wave to Natsu who waved right back. Jude placed a hand on top of Lucy's shoulder to offer her a silent goodbye, a warm smile on his face. Natsu was quick to turn his head to look at her, a glint of mischief in his dark eyes as he leaned back against his chair. Lucy could only stare at his arms that were so tan and muscular, a hard swallow slipping down her throat.

"Didya miss me?"

"A—absolutely not!" Lucy crossed her arms across her chest, looking away. "What do you think you're doing barging into my house so early in the morning?"

"Your dad invited me in for breakfast. Who am I to say no?" He offered a cheeky grin while he finished his second plate. "And I knew you were dying to see me."

Lucy could only roll her eyes, feeling a slight tug on the corner of her lips as she stood up. "Looks like you were the one missing me."

"Oh, one hundred percent."

She felt her cheeks glow red at his blunt confession, finishing her cup of OJ as Natsu was now following her. She bid a farewell to her maids and the two were stumbling out the door, the cold morning air nipping at them first thing in the morning.

"It's so much colder here than in Akane beach." Natsu could only snicker as he walked down the long driveway. "Where's your car?"

"I parked it down by the gate."

"Why?"

"I just didn't want your dad to see my ride."

"Why?" She asked again as Natsu shrugged, a slight smirk on his lips. "I'm sure my dad doesn't care what kind of sports car you're driving today."

"Not a sports car." He muttered as they approached the large golden gates that slowly opened for them.

"Then?"

Pulling the blonde by the arm to round the corner, Lucy's jaw dropped for the millionth time that day as she saw a motorcycle sitting by the wall of her never ending gate. It was red with black trim as she vividly remembered the other night where her mysterious Prince Charming came and saved her from three pervs.

"This is yours?" She sounded unconvinced as Natsu came over to grab the black helmet off from the seat. He held another identical one towards her making her gawk as she grabbed it from his hands.

"Yeah, this my baby," he cooed, stroking the leather of the seats. "Sorry, Luce, she's my number one."

Lucy frowned at that, scowling at the grinning one as she put the helmet on her head. "You're the one who saved me the other day."

"Huh?" He looked at her, mid-way to putting his helmet on.

"Last week before spring break. You saved me. You're the guy who beat those guys up in the alley and scared them off."

Natsu just hummed, sticking the black helmet on his head to cover up his pink locks and flipped the visor up to look at her. His piercing dark eyes were burning into her caramel haze and she felt nervous once more.

"Maybe." Was all he said before he straddled the motorcycle, turning his head to look at the student. "Come on. We're going to be late for school."

Lucy never thought about riding a motorcycle. She called them death cycles for a reason and that main reason was because of how dangerously fast this stupid thing could go. No wonder he parked it away because if her dad knew she was about to get on one of these death cycles with Natsu, she was sure he would never hear the end of it and possibly he would never be able to pick her up again. And she was deathly afraid of the consequences if there was ever a slip up but Natsu would never put her in that position.

Carefully swinging her leg over the death cycle, Lucy was now pressed against the said male who kicked his brake pedal back, the roar of the small thing ringing in her ear. Her heart was racing and her adrenaline pumped as she wrapped her arms around his torso in partial fear, holding him tight.

Natsu turned to look at her over his shoulder, seeing how she had a face of uneasiness. He flipped his visor back up to have her look at his eyes which had his smile reflecting off of it.

"I won't get you hurt. And I won't go over thirty and if you're too overwhelmed just tap me."

Natsu was always quick to reassure and make sure she was comfortable and safe. That's what she liked about him the most. The fact he could read into her emotions and thoughts and comfort her in ways a lot of people couldn't, made her smile.

"Is that what you say to all the girls who ride with you?"

"Only the ones with huge tits and blonde hair named Lucy." He had a glint in his eyes that made her roll hers. "I got ya, I'm not going to let anything happen to my girl."

"I ain't your girl," she grumbled as he flicked his vision back down to rev his engine.

Even though she said that and no matter what she wanted to say to convince herself she wasn't, she knew deep down it made her feel warm and proud.

She was his girl!

When arrived at school and parked, Lucy felt like everyone was staring at her. Everyone including the staff, students, dogs, birds, and hell, even the children at that elementary school across the street were all staring! She was used to the stares when it came to her beauty but these stares were more like… I'm-judging-you kind of stares and she did not like them at all. She felt anxious as she took off the helmet Natsu had provided her, pink dusting her cheeks as she wanted to curl up.

"W—why is everyone staring?" Lucy whispered as she tried fixing her hair. "Is there something on my face?"

"Maybe they're staring at me, ever think of that?" Natsu poked at her, as he tossed his head back and forth like a wet dog to ruffle out his hair.

Lucy felt like she was rolling her eyes a lot and even scoffing because this man-child of a boy was threatening to put a smile on her face.

"Come on, I'll walk you to class."

"Wow, Natsu Dragneel is coming to school?" Lucy gasped, looking at the male who was now rolling his own eyes. "We would have never thought we would see the day!"

"Oh, shut up," he swung an arm around her shoulder, bringing her to his hard side. "I come to school, too."

"To fight," Lucy said, trying to not focus so much on his arm over her shoulder or the stares her classmates gave her.

It was as if they were celebrities all of a sudden, everyone becoming hush to look at them in the most obvious way. It was like they were stark naked or coming out of the broom closet type of caught and it made her feel squeamish and uncomfortable.

"Just ignore them," Natsu's hushed voice brought her out of her state of mind. "Jealousy is truly a disease."

"Are you actually going to class?"

"Maybe," he has a teasing tone to his voice. "Maybe I'll just go fight." He shrugged as Lucy swatted at him. "Maybe I'll just sit outside your classroom and wait for you."

"You're better off going to class."

"Maybe I'll just sit in your class."

Lucy just wanted to roll her eyes again but realized it might become a habit as she nudged him away. Standing outside of her classroom, she offered a sweet smile, keeping a safe distance between the two and resisting the urge to pounce on him.

"Make sure you actually get to class. Maybe the teachers would actually praise me for once for you to show your face."

"Yes, Miss President," He saluted her, making her fight the smile that wanted to plaster on her face. "You're my girl, I'll do whatever you say."

"Stop saying that!" Lucy scowled, eyes darting around to see if anyone else was watching them, cheeks growing warm. Luckily, most students had scrambled to get to their classes before the bell rang. "I'm not your girl."

"Not yet," he held a finger up to her face, a smirk on his handsome face. "I'm number one on that list so don't dock me, yet."

"What list?" Lucy asked, eyebrows furrowed.

"Oh, please," Natsu rolled his eyes, making her rethink her habit. "Who wouldn't want a chance with Miss perfect?"

"Don't call me that," she scolded, cheeks burning. "Go to class!"

"Yes Miss President!" he said, reaching for her hand. She felt the electric current zip through her fingertips to her body as she shuddered involuntarily. She watched as he leaned down to meet the back of her palm and feel his warm lips press against her hand.

If she was a snowman, she would melt right there.

She squeaked out a response before she was running into her classroom, avoiding all the stares and whispers as she went over to her desk where Levy and Cana waited for her. Lucy slammed her bag on her desk and buried her face into her arms, unable to contain the glee and excitement bubbling inside of her.

Levy and Cana just exchanged knowing looks, a small smile on their lips.

.

.

.

"Come on, Lucy," Cana was already slurring by the time the lunch bell rang. "You're buying me some bread!"

"How are you so wasted?" Lucy eyed her burnette of a friend who was hiccuping.

"She stole Natsu's expensive liquor, remember?" Levy said as she tried to catch her stumbling friend. "Usually she's drunk after half a canteen but she's only really taken a couple sips and she's already warm."

"Hey, Lucy," Cana wrapped her arm around her shoulder, reeling her in close so she could smell the alcohol reeking from her mouth. It somehow reminded her of spring break and she didn't want to push her away this time. "Lucy, call your man," she hiccuped. "I need him to call that sex-monster of a handsome man to come and dick me down." She was a giggling mess.

Lucy could only blush at her openness as she exchanged embarrassed looks with the bluenette next to her.

"If you don't, Ima just kiss you!"

"Cana, knock it off!" Lucy cried out as she tried to push the burnette away who was leaning in, puckering her lips. "Cana!"

"Hands off my woman!" Natsu's voice was loud and clear, making the room grow silent. Everyone turned to see Natsu pointing right at Cana and Lucy as her face grew deathly pale. "What did I say, Cana!"

"She was mine first!"

"No she wasn't!"

"She likes me better!"

"No she doesn't!"

Lucy felt like some kind of prize possession being pulled back and forth between Natsu and Cana. She could only sigh loudly as now the looks of confusion and surprise was twisted into amusement and wonder. Levy was only giggling as she recorded the act, the small she-devil sitting on her desk to watch.

"Natsu," Cana soon forgot about Lucy when she slipped away from her hands, stumbling to fall into the arms of the said male. Natsu was quick to push her off, having her at arms length as he scowled at her.

"Are you fucking drunk?"

"Welcome to the life of Cana Alberone." Levy said, waving her hands as she still waited to head to the cafeteria, eyes glued to the phone on her lap.

Natsu twisted his head to look at the small one before he whipped back around to see Cana leaning in, a giggle to her lips. "Natsu, call that hunk of meat, would ya? Mama needs some relief!"

"What?"

"She's talking about that guy she was all over during spring break," Lucy sighed, also waiting to head to the cafeteria as her stomach growled. "Could we go get some food? I'm hungry."

"Maybe if you ate more than a single strawberry this morning you wouldn't be so hungry."

"This morning?" Levy was quick to pick up on it, head turning to look at Lucy who immediately turned it away from her. "You had breakfast together?"

"Yeah, at her house."

"At her house?" Levy's smile was growing even more as Lucy cursed whoever was trying to ruin her life. Her face was growing redder by the second. "What else happened, Natsu?"

"We came to school together." Natsu sounded confused on why Levy was asking questions. He thought she was smarter than that.

"Can we please get something to eat!" Lucy cried out, stomping her foot down.

"Yeah, mama is hungry!" Cana also cried out, throwing her hands in the air. "Call him! Call him!"

"Call him yourself," Natsu scowl came back as he handed her his phone with Bacchus' phone number. Cana was quick to press the call button, pressing it against her ear as she was now being dragged along with the three who were walking down the busy hallway. "So, is she always drunk?"

"Yeah, worse than ever thanks to your expensive booze collection." Lucy scoffed.

"She stole those bottles from me," Natsu gaped as he turned to look at the drunk who was giggling into his phone. He made a mental note to cleanse it afterwards.

When they came into the cafeteria, Gray and Juvia were in line waiting to buy their items when they noticed them. He waved them over as Lucy excitedly made her way over, a displeased look on Natsu's as he reluctantly followed his girl over with the others.

"Hey Gray! Juvia!" Lucy said excitedly as she shared a hug with the blue one. "Haven't seen you two in a bit!"

"Lucy, you look well! You guys should sit with Juvia and her darling!"

"Yeah, we're about to meet up with Gajeel, actually."

It was now Levy's turn to blush when Lucy turned to look at her with a smug expression, a scowl appearing as the bluenette stomped away to the fridges. Before Lucy could respond, Cana was shoving the phone in between the couple, grabbing onto Natsu who was clearly irritated she was fisting his scarf.

"He's coming! He's going to be here! He's going to come pick me up!" She sounded like a little girl in a candy store.

"Who?" Gray asked, confused as Cana was now latching onto him. Juvia shot her a glare as she watched how her hand was fisted into his shirt, both her hands clutched onto the boys to shake them back and forth.

"Just the beautiful, sexy sex-God of all time!" She squealed, looking over at Juvia and Lucy with wide sparkling eyes. "He said he's coming to pick me up after school!"

"Okay, considering I have never even said a word to this guy and don't even know anything but his name… is he even safe for you to just jump into his car and…" she flushed slightly. "Mess around?"

"Are they talking about Bacchus?" Gray asked turning to Natsu, shirt already off of him as he realized that would be the easiest option.

Natsu was just trying to pry the drunk off of him, both hands holding her wrist that was failing to move at any advances he tried. "Why is she so fucking strong!" He cried out, starting to panic.

Lucy finally was able to pry Cana off the screaming male which was her mistake as now Cana was in her face, rambling about all the positions he had her in and what kind of night she had, oblivious to the looks she was receiving from those around. Lucy slapped her hand over her mouth but she was too into her conversation as she kept talking, muffled words produced over her hand.

"So, this Bacchus guys… is Cana safe around him?"

"The real question is: is he safe around her?" Gray pointed at the one who was having a full blown conversation by herself.

"Bacchus can handle his own," Natsu said now with a tray full of junk food. He included a cup of fruit and a ham and cheese sandwich just for his lady, handing her a carton of strawberry milk which she blushed at. "Bacchus is a grown man."

"G—grown man?!" Lucy felt panic wash over her. "Cana is only seventeen!"

Natsu and Gray exchanged uncomfortable looks with one another as they realized how old they truly were and coughed making Lucy's face pale.

"How old is he?! Don't tell me he's some thirty year old pervert!"

"He's not a thirty year old pervert!" Natsu cried out, clearing his throat to mutter. "He's just… twenty eight."

"He's what?!"

"He's twenty-eight!" Natsu said as Gray slapped his forehead with his hand.

Lucy was now gawking at the two, jaw dropped as Levy had returned from her own adventure to calm her heart. She looked to see how everyone was looking from Juvia's sheepish smile to Lucy's shocked expression. Cana was still rambling while she was now on the floor between all of them while Gray and Natsu were uncomfortably smiling at Levy.

"What happened when I was gone?"

.

.

.

When the school day was over, Lucy had felt somewhat relieved. Natsu had been following her around like a lost puppy dog all day and not that she didn't mind his attention and his presence but the urge to just touch and kiss him has been eating away at her since he dropped her off two days ago. The not so subtle touches he would pass on her made it seem like it was some sort of electric zap as she felt it course through her body. The way his hand would brush against her thigh and her hand made her body warm and sometimes he would lean in just a little close so that she could smell him and she almost passed out. She didn't even realize how often Natsu and her would even run into each other since she's never really seen him at school or even paid attention.

She almost, almost was this close to chugging Cana's canteen just so she could feel the liquor courage to kiss him but she was just asking for it then.

He was trying. She could see the small changes he adjusted himself to by opening doors, holding her hand, buying her food, and kissing the back of her hand as if he was actually Prince Charming. And it was working! The first time (well the first time for her) was terrible where he just told her to sit on a chair at the cafe then dragging it over with his foot like some kind of animal.

She felt wobbly all day, not used to the attention, and whenever she would even catch a glimpse of Natsu in the hallways, she would instantly feel this warmth. It was like she was a magnet, gravitating towards him but she was stronger than that! Heartfillia's are strong! And she was not going to give in to him so easily even when he's grinning at her and looking at her like she's the only girl in the world…

"You ready, Luce?"

She could barely croak out an answer as she followed him down the now emptying halls where students rushed to head home or to their after school programs. While today she didn't have any obligations, she felt the urge to go home and scream into her pillow and write in her diary about the pink-haired delinquent.

"Are you free for dinner?" He brought her back to reality as they now stood by his bike once more. "I want to take you out. Our first official date."

"D—date?" She didn't mean to stutter but cursed herself for being so shy. "Where?"

"I guess you'll just have to see," he had a teasing smile on his face. "So, are ya free?"

"I can talk to my dad but sure!" She was now smiling as he was handing her a helmet.

"Great, pick you up at six?"

"Could you at least tell me what type of attire I should prepare?"

"Nope," he popped the P a wicked grin on his face. "The element of surprise!"

Zipping through the streets on his deathcycle had some kind of rush spill through her body. She had a wide grin on her face as Natsu drove down into town so expertly, her grip around his torso tight as she felt the warmth of his body against hers. It made her think of how warm he was the night prior, suddenly the images of him going down on her and kissing her other set of lips flashing through her mind.

She was so glad he was in front of her driving or else she would have been teased as she tightened her grip around him.

She was starting to get used to this lifestyle with him around. She somehow felt protected and at ease when around him and missed his carefree attitude when he wasn't around.

Now as she took another shower and got ready for her date, her eyes flickered at the clock as she brushed her long golden hair.

A knock on her bedroom door caught her attention. "Yes?"

"Miss Lucy, your father is on the line for you," Virgo, one of her housemaids, bowed respectfully. "He said he won't be returning home tonight and apologies. He said he is to return home possibly tomorrow evening since he has been caught up with an affair in the next town. He wishes you a great date with Mr. Natsu."

"T—thanks!" Lucy felt her cheeks grow red, a slight scowl on her face. "Thanks, let him know it's alright and I'll keep him updated."

"Also, Mr. Natsu is here."

"What?!" She screeched, shooting up from her seat at her vanity. "B—but it's only five! He's an hour early!"

"Do you wish to punish me?"

Lucy slapped herself on the forehead and groaned, shooing the maid away who only blinked in confusion.

"T—tell him I'm not ready, yet!"

Virgo was quick to bow and then leave the blonde who was now in full panic as she was flumbing through her closet looking for something to wear for their first official date. Her heart was pounding and she felt the sweat start to outline her forehead as she threw all her nice clothes on the ground, crying out loud about how she had no clothes. She flinched when she heard something come from her bedroom and she slowly crept out of her large walk-in to take a peek, wondering if she had missed a knock on the door.

She was caught off guard when Natsu jumped into her room from her balcony, her mouth opening to scream but he was quick to place a hand over her mouth and lift a finger up to his lips.

"What the hell!" She screeched, throwing his hand off her face. "What do you think you're doing?!"

"I wanted to see you so I climbed your balcony," he said as if it was the most obvious thing. "That maid you have is weird. She asked me to punish her because you were mad."

"Ignore her," Lucy scowled, waving her hand in front of her face. "What are you doing? I thought our date was at six?"

"It is," he had a wide smile on his face as his eyes trailed down her body.

Lucy felt herself shiver as she realized she was just in her robe, the small silk material barely covering her lingerie-clad self as she quickly covered herself up.

"Then what gives?"

"I know you want all romance bullshit you read and watch in movies and I'm going to do that for you, Luce, I really will," he said while stepping towards her. She reactively stepped back from him, gulping. "But I have an hour till our date and right now, all day, all I want to do is kiss you so right now, you can think of me as some asshole who burst into your home."

Lucy yelped as she fell backwards into her walk-in, cursing herself for not picking up the piles of clothes she had laid out as Natsu had her cornered. She recognized the look in his eyes and she felt anxious as he looked like a predator ready to pounce on his prey.

"W—wait..!"

"Tell me to leave and I'll leave right now." He said while continuing to walk towards her.

Lucy couldn't utter a word out of her mouth as she was sitting on the ground, mouth gaping like a fish out of water. She didn't want him to leave nor did she want him to not kiss her. She's been thinking about it all weekend and all day as she was standing so close to him, feeling his warmth and smelling his musk she learned to love.

She watched him approach her, crouching down to come face to face with her burning red expression. He was so close their noses touched and her breath hitched as he lingered, eyes low.

"Do you want me to leave?"

Lucy could only muster enough courage to shake her head no, afraid to speak as she knew her voice would fail her.

Natsu took that as his answer before he leaned in, pressing his warm lips against hers that were immediately molding against his. Her arms were around his shoulders, pulling him near and close without her even realizing as he was now pushing her down further onto her floor, hovering over her. His tongue stuck out and slid across her lips before he was chasing after hers. Her soft moan vibrated inside of his open mouth and she was at his complete mercy, allowing his hand to trail down from her neck down her side. A shiver spread through her body and she turned her head to gasp for some air, chest rising and falling with her pants.

This gave Natsu free range of her open neck as he started to kiss down, pressing hot open mouth kisses down her skin as she squirmed under him.

"W—wait.. Natsu..!"

In an instant his hands froze and he was quick to pull away, making her second guess herself if this was what she wanted. She tried to scoot away from him but he had her caged in, pressing his body against hers.

His dark mesmerizing eyes were locked on hers and it made it so hard for her to look away as she swallowed hard.

"I—I—" she stammered, unable to form words. "I have a date." She practically squeaked, trying to get those dirty images out of her mind. "I have to get ready for my date."

Natsu was just staring at her, eyebrows knitted for a minute before he cracked out a smile. He just chuckled and pulled away from her, standing back up to look down at the flustered blonde who was practically begging him with her eyes and body language to ravish her. Her milky skin was exposed in all the right places as her robe fell at her shoulders, her front exposed just enough for him to see her curves and underwear.

He just adjusted himself, clearing his throat.

"Yeah, me too," his voice was husky and slightly wavering. "I'll see ya soon!"

And just like that, Lucy was alone in her room once more as her womanhood throbbed and her heart desperately tried to stop beating so fast. She laid flat on her back, looking up at her ceiling as she inhaled and exhaled slowly, trying to get herself together. The thought of Natsu's lips against hers and his unbelievable heat pressed against her body had her aching for more.

Would it be wrong for her to put out on their first date? Would this even be considered putting out on a first date if they've already seen each other naked?

Virgo's words echoed into her mind and she had to shake herself out of the daydream of Natsu bending her over in her bedroom tonight. She suppressed a scream and she hurried to get up from the floor, shifting through her endless amount of clothes to finally settle for her favorite skirt that had slits running the sides and a nice fitting blouse that accentuated her curves with the dangerously low neckline. She decided to pair it with her boot heels to elevate the outfit in case Natsu was going to take her to somewhere nice and fancy and she spent the next twenty minutes curling her hair and applying make-up as her hands shook.

She had to stop herself multiple times fantasizing about the pink-haired delinquent and she had to practice saying no since she obviously had a hard time rejecting him.

Lucy was startled when Virgo came back into the room, a shriek flying out of her lips along with her make-up brush as the maid stood unfazed.

"Mr. Natsu has arrived."

"Y—you already said that!"

"He has returned. He had disappeared a moment ago and is now back for your date."

Lucy's face just grew crimson as she remembered how he hopped into her room and attacked her lips. She subconsciously ran her tongue over her lips as she quickly grabbed her purse to throw around her body and her phone as she ran down the stairs of her large home.

She slowed her pace when she saw him again, her breath hitching in her throat as the usual obnoxiously loud student waiting for her all so patiently and quietly stood there staring right at her. He looked ravishing as he smiled widely when she came closer, thrusting a bouquet of flowers into her hands.

"Hiya, Luce, you look great." He had a cheeky grin to his face and she could still see the smudge of glitter on his mouth as she suppressed a laugh.

"Thanks," she could barely mutter as she took a whiff of her bouquet. "Thanks for the flowers."

"Of course," he grinned cheekily as Virgo had come to take the bouquet from her hands.

"When will you be returning home?"

"I'm unsure," Lucy flickered her eyes to Natsu and back at her maid. "Just assume I will be home late. No need to stay and wait for me. Feel free to leave once you are clear."

"Of course, Princess," she bowed low, making Natsu snicker as Lucy blushed.

"B—bye!" She was quick to grab Natsu by the shoulders to push him away, scurrying off so he wouldn't tease her about her ridiculous nickname Virgo had latched herself onto since day one. "Don't wait up!"

Lucy was glad Natsu didn't bring his deathcycle to their date. As much as she didn't mind the adrenaline rush she feels when riding on it, she felt it wasn't as appropriate for their first date. So when she came outside to see Natsu was now driving a Bentley Bentayga SUV, a completely different type of car she would ever see him in, she was baffled as he automatically opened the doors with a press of his key.

"Nice, huh?" He was giddy as Lucy laughed.

"Just how many cars do you own?"

"I lost count after dad bought his twenty sixth one," Natsu murmured as he held his hand out for her. "And that was maybe three years ago?"

Lucy could only roll her eyes as she knew how men were with their prized possessions. Her father owned hundreds, maybe even thousands of homes all across the country. He loved real estate and she knew if she went anywhere, she would have a home there to crash in.

"So, what's on the agenda for tonight?" Lucy asked as Natsu began to drive down her long driveway. The warming leather under her calmed her nerves as she ran her fingers across the soft stitching and leather of the interior.

Natsu opened his mouth to respond but Lucy had beat him to it.

"Let me guess," she rolled her eyes. "It's a surprise." She tried to mimic his voice.

Natsu just laughed as he tried to keep his eyes on the road instead of the stunning blonde sitting next to him.

"What do you have against surprises?"

"I'm nosy," Lucy only said with a grin on her face. Natsu just wanted to lean over and kiss her.

"Well, Miss Heartfillia, if you must know, I do have dinner and a show ready for us."

"A dinner and a show?" Lucy quirked her brow up.

"The only thing I will let you decide on tonight is what type of food you'd like to eat."

Lucy hummed at the thought, wondering what would be the most appropriate first date meal. A lot of the movies she watched always had them eat a plate of spaghetti together and then by chance one single strain of noodle happened to get caught in both their forks and they don't seem to notice till they're locking lips. This just made her snort and roll her eyes as she thought of anything else. She didn't really care for the fancy dinners with four forks and three spoons nor did she care about the expensive atmosphere.

"I kind of just want some tacos." Lucy blurted out. "Fish tacos sound delicious."

"This is why you're my girl," Natsu said all too casually. It made her cheeks grow hot. "What my girl wants is what my girl gets."

"I'm not—"

"Your girl!" Natsu finished for her, mimicking her shriek she usually did. "But tonight you are my girl when you're sitting in my car and I'm buying you dinner."

Lucy didn't even argue with that, a small pout on her lips and a large blush painted on her cheeks. She didn't even realize where they were since Natsu started to drive down a sketch road, her eyes trained on the sidewalks where she could see drug deals happen and the homeless.

Her eyes narrowed as she looked over at Natsu who seemed like he knew these parts of the street before he parallel parked.

"Where are we?"

"You said you wanted tacos," he took his belt off. "So, we're going to get some fucking tacos."

"Here?" She questioned as she unbuckled herself. "Why here?"

"Because, all the best food trucks are in sketchy places." He grinned as he hopped out of his car. Lucy only pursed her lips as she watched him do a light jog over to her side before opening the door to hold her hand out. She took his hand and hopped out of the large SUV before she saw the flashing lights coming from a food truck just down the street.

Lucy had never experienced or even seen a place like this at all. If her father or even Capricorn knew where she was right now, they would drop dead and probably kill Natsu also for just bringing her into a place like this. But for some reason, Lucy didn't feel scared or nervous at all knowing Natsu was with her. He hadn't let go of her hand as he tugged her along and she could tell just by the way he walked, he wasn't afraid either. It was like he was used to these streets or even known here as they approached the window.

"Hey! Natsu!" The guy inside of the vehicle cried out, a wide smile on his face. "Welcome back, buddy!"

"Hey Gusto," Natsu offered a salute. "Doing alright?"

"Oh you know how it is. Gunshots and explosions but business is great!"

Lucy could only give the two a bewildered look as her jaw dropped slightly at the casualty of explosives and possibly murder.

"This is Lucy," Natsu said, introducing the woman who shyly waved. "We're here for some tacos."

"Don't you know you're supposed to take beautiful ladies out on actual nice restaurant dates? They don't belong in places like this."

"She's a tough one," Natsu glanced over at the smiling one. "And she wanted tacos so who am I to deprive her from the best tacos around?"

"Lucy," the worker caught her attention. "You make sure you ask this fool to buy you something nicer next time, alright?"

Lucy only giggled. "I think this is nicer than anything else I can ask for."

"See? What'd I tell ya," he smirked, tossing his arm over her shoulder to reel her in.

Lucy only scowled at his behavior, not even daring to correct or push him away as the two spoke and ordered. She wasn't even surprised when Natsu ordered forty tacos and then asked her what she wanted. She opted for the three taco combo special and when their food was given to them in two large bags, the smell had her drooling.

"Come on, let's go before our food gets cold."

"Where are we going?" Lucy asked, a bit upset she couldn't dig right in as they walked past the picnic tables.

"Surprise," he winked as the two ventured back into the car and back down a long dark road.

The smell of the food had her stomach grumbling and her head spinning at the delicious smell. Her mouth watered and she was starting to get hangry as Natsu drove further and further away from town and up some kind of hill. It was complete darkness surrounding them and Lucy had to question if she was safe.

"Are you going to stuff me with tacos and murder me up in the middle of nowhere?"

"No," Natsu scoffed. "I'm going to murder you first and then eat all the tacos."

"Wow, not even a bite of the best tacos?"

"No way," Natsu had a playful smile on his lips. "That'll be such a waste of food."

Lucy just nudged him as he laughed, poking at her as she squealed and swatted him away.

Eventually, Natsu had come to higher ground and he popped a u-turn before he started to reverse up the hill. Once he had come closer to his designated position, he turned his car off and turned to look at Lucy who felt slightly uneasy about this. She looked at the grinning male as he unbuckled himself to get out the car, leaving her alone to ponder if she should just lock the door and call someone to get her. But her thoughts were ripped out of her when Natsu opened the trunk of the car and got her attention.

"Come here," he said, making her sigh. She unbuckled herself and she decided to just climb over his expensive leather, crawling towards the male who seemed to have a shimmer in his eyes and a hungry look and she knew it wasn't for the tacos.

Natsu had flipped down the seats in the back to create a flat surface for the two as pillows and a blanket laid out by them. He pulled the food out of the bags as he hopped into the trunk where Lucy sat watching. Her eyes were pulled from him when she noticed the glimmer of lights and she looked to see they were quite literally on top of the world. The entire city was blooming in lights as they were perched up so high it looked like one big old light bulb. The sky was also dark enough near them the stars were dancing in the sky, waving hello and offering supervision.

The smell of food and the sound of something popping caught her attention as she turned to see Natsu was pouring wine into a glass. He held it out to her and she just smiled before taking it to swirl the dark liquid around. She took a sip and smacked her lips together to take in the taste.

"Merlot." Was all he said and she just nodded, not even knowing what the hell that meant.

Natsu had the entire set up as he pulled out his laptop out of thin air and placed it in between them, playing some kind of movie she didn't even know as he handed her a container from the bag. He had kicked his shoes off and was sitting comfortably as Lucy also took her boots off, placing them carefully on the side.

"This is romantic," Lucy giggled as Natsu wagged his eyebrows at her. "Where'd you find this place?"

"I used to come here with Gray and Gajeel," Natsu said as he shoved a whole taco into his mouth. Lucy could only giggle as he looked like a squirrel with his puffed out cheeks. "Used to come to drink and smoke up here a lot."

Lucy only nodded as she took a bite of her food, an instant rush of flavor and excitement filling her mouth. She had to restrain from rolling her eyes and moaning as she ate. "Holy moly this is good."

"I told ya," he said while he drizzled salsa on his meal. "Gusto makes the best tacos."

"No kidding," Lucy hummed as she inhaled her first taco. "Maybe I should have gotten more than three."

"We can always go back."

Lucy just nodded as she drank from her glass, enjoying the red that slipped down her throat. She felt content with herself at the moment and was actually quite pleased with how the date was going. She was nervous Natsu was going to mess it up or do something that wasn't particularly her cup of tea but somehow it ended in a way she didn't feel was inappropriate.

They were giggling and nudging each other as they watched this horrendous film Natsu had found, claiming his mother lent him it for his date. The only thing that was helping was the fact it was so old that they made it into a comedy, laughter filling the air as they ate and drank. Nothing felt forced nor awkward as they finished their meals and spoke like they were childhood friends.

Natsu talked to her about his time abroad while Lucy listened, her eyes trained on his moving lips.

They laid in the trunk while looking up at the starry night sky through the glass roof. Lucy educated him on the constellations and the stars which was hard to comprehend but he really tried as he traced along the night sky with his finger.

And before any of them knew it, she was laying on his chest with her lips pressed against his and the hum of the credits rolling in the background. They had finished the bottle of wine Natsu had brought along and they were feeling warm and full as his fingers were tangled in her golden locks she worked so hard to curl. But the way his lips were on hers and how hot his hand felt against her skin had all reason thrown out the window as she traced her finger against his jawline and neck.

She wanted him more than anything as she sucked on his tongue, moaning into his mouth as he held onto her. She promised herself she wasn't going to do anything rash but when Natsu's hand found hers and their shoulders bumped, it was hard for her to think straight as he held her so gingerly.

"My dad isn't coming home tonight," her silent plea was pushed out in between kisses as she was now straddling him.

Natsu stopped moving to look at her through his lashes, hand holding her steady as their lips hovered over one another.

"Are you asking me to stay the night?"

"I didn't say that," Lucy felt her cheeks flush as she smiled coyly. "I'm just telling you that my dad won't be home tonight."

He recognized the look in her eyes and he just grinned, his hand sliding down to squeeze her cheek. He brought her closer and pressed her entire body against his as he held her. "Okay," he sighed as they kissed fiercely. "I'll keep that in mind."

It was as if he was taunting her in a painful way as he drove so slow and even stopped at the local ice cream store to buy them ice cream cones. She happily agreed to it and ate it on the way home but she knew he was fucking with her cause he had that shit-eating grin on his handsome face where he liked to tease her.

So she only did what was natural and decided to fire back. Might as well while she still felt warm from the wine.

She ran her tongue up her ice cream cone painfully slow as she kept her eyes on Natsu's face. She had shifted in her seat to face him, shoes still kicked off as she saw the line of sweat appearing on his forehead. He was scowling at her at the red light, seeing how she swirled her tongue on the cone before she wiped the corner of her mouth to suck on her thumb. She was batting her eyes playfully at him as she grinned at his expression, going back to starting at the base of her cone to slurp it up to the top where she sucked.

She heard Natsu's breath hitch and she just snickered as the light turned back green, the smooth ride back home agonizingly slow.

"You're a naughty girl tonight," he snickered, his hand finding its way to her thigh. "what's gotten into you, Heartfillia?"

"You."

That was all he had to hear before he parked his car and attacked her lips, tongue pushed into her mouth and hand finding its way up her skirt. Her cone was pushed out the window as Natsu licked her lips clean of the dessert, a moan erupting from her mouth as he brushed his fingers against her inner thigh.

Natsu would have taken her in the car, hell, he would take her anywhere, anytime. But he knew Lucy didn't deserve that especially when her sweet little heart craved romance.

He pulled away from her, looking at her wanton eyes that begged him to kiss her. He snickered when she was chasing his lips, reeling his head back to avoid them. "I should get you home before your dad starts calling me asking me why he hasn't seen me drop you off yet."

Lucy had a pout on her lip, her caramel haze boring into his suggestively. "You're leaving?"

Natsu smirked. "Well, I don't want to intrude or anything. I haven't received an invitation."

He watched how she fidgeted in her seat, an internal battle going on before she narrowed her gaze and turned her eyes away bashfully. "W—well.. if you wanted to stay you… could stay." She murmured, fingers playing with the end of her skirt. "Only if you want to."

"Only if I want to?" He teased.

Lucy's eyes flickered towards him in a way he knew she wouldn't admit to it, yet, but he knew he could squeeze it out of her eventually. He chuckled and ran his fingers down her jawline to her voluptuous chest, earning a shiver from her.

"I'll drop you off and park and then climb through your window, again."

"R—really?" She lit up like a candle and immediately turned red. "I—I mean..!"

"You're adorable," he laughed as he planted a sweet kiss on her forehead. "Who am I to reject an invitation to Lucy Heartfillia's bedroom?"

The blush was all he needed to see as he pulled into the large estate and drove up the long driveway. He made sure to give a quick wave to the security cameras as he parked his car and quickly ran to her side to pull the door open. He held her hand as she stepped out and he brought her flush against his body, grinning at the blonde who felt so small in his arms.

"I had a great time," Lucy's voice was hush as she toyed with his scarf. "Thank you."

"Thanks for allowing me to take you out," his eyelids were low and seductive. "I hope this was a good first date for you."

"It was amazing," she giggled shyly. "you're getting the hang of this romantic stuff."

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

Her eyes were darting to his lips that were just pressed against hers not too long ago, the drumming of her heart loud in her ear. Was she doing too much for a first date? Is this really considered a first date for them? Everything was ass backwards and it somehow felt silly she was thinking so deep into it since she knew what her body wanted and she knew Natsu wouldn't see her any differently even if she did sleep with him tonight. He wanted her as much as she wanted him, probably even more since he confessed he'd been in love with her since they were six. Natsu would probably go out and buy her the biggest diamond ring he could find and propose to her tonight if she asked. But she's never had a guy do this for her nor has she even experienced any of this first date kinda thing and she felt a bit selfish for wanting this before committing. They may have known each to her since they were kids but Lucy barely knew the guy.

Was she so wrong for wanting more?

"Natsu it is late!" Jude's voice startled the couple as they were quick to pull away from each other. "It is nearly midnight."

Natsu was frantically trying to look for where the voice was coming from, making Lucy giggle, holding her hand against her mouth as she pointed at the surveillance camera above them. His eyes landed on the camera that was pointed right at them, a slight blush and scowl coming to his face.

"Sorry, Mr. Heartfillia, we lost track of time. Your daughter insisted we stop for ice cream."

"I did not! You wanted some, too!" She swung to hit him in the arm as they both glared at each other. "Dad, he's a liar!"

"You're the one lying!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Yuh-huh!"

"Nuh-uh!"

"I can clearly see you two did not change… I assume the date went well?"

"Dad!" Lucy cried out, pink dusting her cheeks. "Stop watching us!"

"Everything went smoothly and according to plan, sir." Natsu saluted the camera. "It was such a pleasure taking out your beautiful daughter."

"I would love to hear all about it."

"Dad!" Lucy groaned, giving the camera a stank look as Natsu snickered. "Goodbye!" She exasperated and she knew her dad was just laughing watching them through his phone.

When she didn't get a response she huffed and turned back to Natsu who was looking very amused.

"Anyways," she cleared her throat, the moment ruined. "I'll… see you soon." She gave him a knowing look as she thread her fingers together behind her back to sway. "I had a great time."

"I did, too." He reached for her hand to press a quick warm kiss on it. "Sweet dreams darling Lucy."

Lucy felt like a puddle by the time he was walking back to his car, winking at her. The blonde gave him one last wave goodbye before she scurried into her large home. She suppressed her squeal as she ran up the stairs, bursting into her room to get ready for her visitor. She unlocked her balcony door and lit a candle, kicking her shoes off to toss them in her closet. She turned her television on and lowered the volume so there was enough background noise but she was kind of in a panic.

How was she going to do this sober?! Her buzz was definitely gone at this point and she just invited her crush over to possibly have intercourse with her! She basically was begging for it when she asked him to stay over and now she was slamming her head against the wall for being so brazen when she didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.

Oh but she missed how he felt and how crazy he made her feel. She missed feeling his girth stretch her out and the lewd things he would whisper in her ear as she fucked her silly.

Her thoughts were soon swallowed by the way Natsu's feet hit the ground, her head turning to look at the magnificent sight of Natsu Dragneel. He had a wicked grin on his face and a bag attached to his back as he walked into her spacious room. It took everything in her to not fall to the floor as her knees wobbled.

"Hi," her breathless voice came out softly as he approached her. He snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her close making her breath shake. "Are you going to be alright to sleep over?"

"Of course," his hot breath fanned across her face. "I'll do anything for you."

And just like that they were at each other, again, lips pressed against each other fiercely and hot as they swapped spit. The air was hot as they began to strip one another, articles of clothing being tossed on the floor like they were suffocating themselves.

By the time Lucy was on her bed stark naked, she was trembling in embarrassment and frustration as Natsu stared down at her.

"What's wrong?" His voice was smooth like butter as his knuckles brushed against her pink cheeks.

"I'm just… nervous." Her voice came out in a squeak. "We don't usually do this sober."

Natsu just smirked as he hovered over her. "You're going to have to one day."

"I—I know," she pouted, avoiding eye contact. "I told you I'm inexperienced at this."

"Maybe sober Lucy is," his finger trailed down her navel as she shivered against his touch. "But drunk Lucy is an expert when it comes to this. Drunk Lucy rocks my world every time."

The look in his eyes had her quivering and she was red from her ears to her toes. She felt like she was losing her virginity for the first time (not like she really remembered her first time anyways) and it made her feel all sorts of feelings as her breath hitched. But Natsu was sweet and gentle as he stroked her hair and spoke sweet nothings in her ear as he kissed around her body, asking if she was alright and if this felt good.

A part of her felt like Natsu was also treating this as if it was her first time, too, and she was grateful. And for the first time for herself, Lucy finally knew what it was like to lose herself to someone she found dear as Natsu made sweet, sweet love to her.
