What Fairy Girls Want

Chapter 8: get me nice and wet (oh, baby)
"I had no idea Gajeel was in a band," Lucy said brightly as she and Natsu casually walked across the local park's pathways on their long-anticipated date. "That's so cool! Do they play often?"
"Only jam sessions," Natsu said. "Gajeel didn't plan on live performances at first. He said it was just some stupid hobby to have fun with. But then he got serious about it, so here we are. I bet Levy inspired him to take it more seriously."
"Do tell," Lucy said as she glanced up at the increasingly cloudy sky. Hmmmm, those clouds were getting pretty dark. "I think they make a great couple, actually. Gajeel and Levy seem so different at first. But they seem to understand each other. I can see it in their eyes."
Natsu grinned. "Oh yeah? All I ever see in Gajeel's eyes is 'I wanna get wasted' or 'this lecture sucks.' You know?"
"I give him more credit than that," Lucy said loftily, tossing her vivid blonde hair. Man, she was like a model when she did that. "Gajeel's a good guy. And this is good for him. He's growing up."
"No kidding. I mean, Gajeel once told me he planned on breezing his way through college, but maybe that's changing." Natsu gave the thumbs-up.
"How about you, Natsu?" Lucy nudged him with her elbow.
Natsu flinched. "M-me?"
Lucy beamed. "Are you ready to try something new this year? College is the best four years of your life. That means taking the bull by the horns." She mimed grabbing two horns in midair.
"Uh, well..." Natsu glanced up in thought (damn, those clouds were dark) and shrugged. "I'm kinda like Gajeel. Just drifting along, taking life as it comes. Cana's doing that, too."
"Ah yes, the party devil," Lucy joked. "She sure knows how to whip up a crowd! But I've always been curious, Natsu. What do you get up to when you're not at parties or hanging out on campus? Anything fun? Any dreams?"
Natsu got one look at Lucy's sparkling brown eyes and felt a bolt of lightning go down his spine. Yow! That look made Natsu feel energized, but at the same time, this girl was asking all the hard questions and wouldn't let go. What did Natsu tell his date? He couldn't say something totally lame, or risk sounding stupid. But the honest truth wasn't too glamorous, either.
"Well... I've always liked sports and working out," Natsu said slowly, watching other park guests wandering around as he and Lucy approached Gajeel's band's stage. Hey, the show was almost ready!
"Uh-huh?"
"If I had to say I've got a dream, it's to make it to the division championships this year," Natsu concluded. "Sure, our soccer team isn't so hot. But it always fires me up! Every time I'm on that field, I think This is when we'll become stars. I feel so free when I play. Like I can do anything." He raised a fist.
Lucy giggled. "I love how dedicated you are to the team. The coach must love you!"
"The coach sure didn't love me when I kicked Max's knee by mistake during practice last month! I bought Max ice cream with all the sprinkles to make him feel better. Then a soft pretzel. Then I did one of his exams for him."
"Oh, my."
"Basically, I'm in sports mode this year," Natsu said casually, hands in pockets as he and Lucy joined the tiny crowd for Gajeel's band's performance. "That's what keeps me going. It feels right."
Lucy smiled. "I'm so glad you have something to be passionate about, Natsu. Until recently, I didn't know what that felt like."
"No?" "Growing up, I -"
"HEEEEEEEYYY, THANKS FOR COMING!" Gajeel roared into the mic, and the tiny crowd cheered. Gajeel, Laki, Droy, and Fried all stood on a square platform with their instruments at the ready, from Fried's drum set to Laki's bass and Gajeel's and Droy's guitars. Fried tapped his drumsticks together a few times and whacked the snare twice, then a cymbal crash to get the crowd excited. Whoo!
Then Gajeel spread his arms wide and declared, "We are Gajeel and the Ironwings, and this is our one and only live show! It's the performance of a lifetime, and you won't regret it! We've got ten hot songs lined up for you, so let's get ready to rock and roll!" He kicked the air, and the little crowd went wild. Probably because they had nothing better to do today.
"What the heck is he wearing?" Lucy wondered as Gajeel strummed his guitar a few times, nodding as he warmed up.
"Stuff he scraped together at the local thrift store, I guess," Natsu joked. Actually, that probably was what Gajeel did. He wore ripped jeans with black work boots, a red and blue striped shirt, and a parted black leather jacket over that, with silver zippers and clasps all over it. And don't forget his tacky fedora hat! Laki, Fried, and Droy were kinda dressed up like that, too. But this wasn't good weather to dress like a punk. Warm and humid! Ugh!
"This first song is called 'Crocus Days, Crocus Nights.' It's killer," Gajeel said excitedly as he motioned at his bandmates to get ready. "Ready? 1, 2, 3, 4!"
Fried tapped his drumsticks twice, and then Natsu felt a wall of sound wash over him, buzzing in the humid air. Wow! Such energy! Gajeel's singing kind of sucked, but who cares? He was putting his all into this, and so were his bandmates. Natsu had never seen Laki smile so widely as she plucked the bass, moving her body to the rhythm while her eyes shone with joy. It was a good look for her.
Something chilly hit Natsu's head. What the...?
"Guitar solo! Gonna shred!" Gajeel barked, and he struck a funny pose as he whaled on that axe, drawing mixed cheers and laughs as he botched half the notes. Damn, Gajeel, master the basics first! Gajeel bit his lower lip and scowled as he tried to get back on track, and then a few water drops appeared on his jacket. Where did those come from?
"Oh!" Lucy yelped. "Natsu, I think it's starting to -"
Fsssssshhh.
Rain!
Fuck!
"Not cool!" Natsu cried, shielding his hair with his hands as it started pouring, the tiny crowd yelping and scattering to the four winds.
"No! Come back!" Gajeel cried, his guitar hanging from its strap as he frantically waved his arms, but it was no good. He groaned and hung his head as "Crocus Days, Crocus Nights" ground to a halt, with Laki squealing in alarm as the rain soaked through her carefully styled violet hair. Her red hair ribbon went limp.
"My drums...!" Fried wailed, yanking off his jacket to protect them from the rain. Then he rolled his eyes. "Who am I kidding? These are the cheapest drums ever. I oughta get a real set someday. If I can get a part-time job to pay for it. Hey Droy, you know anyone who's hiring?"
"Save it, dude!" Droy hollered over the rain as he hastily set his guitar back into its blocky case. "This bites the big one. We were finally making it big!"
"Have faith, Ironwings!" Gajeel told them, motioning. "Our time shall come. This is but a minor setback on our path to fame and glory. Perhaps next weekend, we shall -"
"I'm on a path back to my place for a shower and dry clothes! See you!" Laki retorted, her bass packed and strapped to her back. She waved, then scampered off, cursing the hair-ruining rain.
Natsu and Lucy looked at each other. "Wanna ditch this place?" Natsu asked.
Lucy made a bracing smile as she brushed her soaked bangs out of her eyes. "Yes, please!"
They bid Gajeel goodbye and sprinted all the way across the park to the nearest street, where Natsu led Lucy into a quaint coffee shop. Ah, sweet mercy. The rain looked a lot cozier from here as Natsu watched it pour outside the windows, while this shop's coffee bean aroma, decor, and chattering patrons made it feel like something out of a rom-com. Well, rom-coms were scripted, while Natsu had to make this up on the fly.
Natsu turned to Lucy. "So, Lucy... I get it if you wanna call off the date."
Lucy shook her head. "I'm fine, Natsu. Even if I got a little wet."
"You sure?"
"Uh-huh." Lucy made a defiant grin as she gave the OK sign. "I've been looking forward to this date with you for a week. I want my alotted time. Don't you?"
Natsu shared Lucy's smile and folded his arms. "I sure do, babe!"
"Great! Then let's get some coffees." Lucy looked down at her damp clothes. "And a few towels. I'll ask the staff."
The staff was generous enough to lend them a few towels to dry off in the bathrooms, and once Natsu got a little drier (he even wrung out his shirt), he leaned closer to his reflection in the mirror, leaning on the sink. "You can do this," he told himself. "You're a stud who gets all the action. You're cool. You're confident. All the girls like you. Think about it! This is date 3 of 3. Who else could pull that off? Max? Fried? C'mon." There was a knock. "Are you still drying off, Natsu?" came Lucy's voice.
"Bleeaaaghwarf!" Natsu yelped as he suddenly slipped up in alarm, and his sneakers skidded on the wet tiled floor underfoot. He nearly collapsed until he grabbed the sink. "Be right out, Lucy!"
Okay, forget the cool and confident part. Just try not to get into any more accidents. You get that, you doofus?
Yes, sir...
A thoroughly humbled Natsu joined Lucy at one of the tables by the window, where they placed their orders and watched people in raincoats and umbrellas walk by on the sidewalk. "Now this feels like a classic date," Natsu piped up, trying to get things back on track. "By the way, did I mention how lovely you look today?"
"You did. But thanks again, Natsu," Lucy said brightly, smiling again as she clasped her hands together on the little table. She wore the same revealing pink tube top with white lace that she had worn at Cana's house party, but this time with a white pleated skirt (an erotically short one) and high-heeled leather sandals, plus a blue ribbon in her hair and fake (probably) pearl earrings. She was so... beautiful. Was it her PG-13 outfit? Her amazing smile and warm brown eyes? Her light, carefree personality? Or her good graces and humor during this date's first catastrophe? Natsu couldn't decide which!
Natsu took a minute to remember something. He gestured. "Hey, at the park... what were you about to say about when you were younger? We were talking about growing up, right?"
Lucy blinked. "Oh! Yes, that's right." Her face grew a little somber. "I was saying how inspiring it is to see you give it your all with the college soccer team. Win or lose, you have something wonderful, Natsu. You said you feel so free when you're on the field? I wish I knew what that's like."
"What do you mean?" Natsu cocked his head like a curious, smart dog. Actually, most canines were smarter than him. Lol, self-burn.
Lucy looked back out the window and rested her chin on her hand, her elbow on the table. "Oh, it's nothing. I don't think I should complain, Natsu. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up."
"I won't force the issue, Lucy. But I'll say that dates are a safe zone where people can open up about anything. That's how you get to know someone better."
Lucy glanced sideways at Natsu, a small grin crossing her face. "I get the feeling you speak from experience."
"Yeah, that's what I told Lisanna during our date at the mall," Natsu explained. "She was feeling pretty down about herself, comparing herself to her brother and sister. It's not easy being in Mirajane's shadow. But I told Lisanna that this will be her year, and she got fired up. It was amazing. Then we got back to her place in a great mood and -"
Lucy's little grin widened. "Oh my, you're telling me so much about your other dates, Natsu."
"Crap!" Natsu clapped his hand over his mouth. The only time he should waggle his tongue this much was during foreplay, gosh darn it!
"But I think I get your meaning." Lucy lowered her hand and faced Natsu again. "You're the type who can't leave someone alone with their problems. That's what I like about you, Natsu. Well, one of the things. You won't rest until everyone has a big smile on their face."
"Yeah. Like this." Natsu folded his hands behind his head and smiled from ear to ear, radiating warmth and happiness like an oven.
Lucy giggled. "There it is, the Natsu Dragneel magic!"
"Is it working?" Natsu wiggled his eyebrows.
"It might be! Slow down! Eeeeek!" Lucy kept giggling as she threw up her hands to shield herself from Natsu's radiance.
"Sorry, Lucy. I can't help myself. I shine like the sun!"
"Here you are, darlings," the waitress said, interrupting the fun, happy time with their drinks. And two scones and a muffin for Natsu. Score!
"Hungry?" Lucy teased him as Natsu started on the desserts he ordered.
"Yeah," Natsu said, his mouth full. "You want a bite?"
"Mmmmmm... maybe." Lucy sat up properly and took a sip of coffee. And winced at the scalding liquid. Yowch!
Natsu washed down his first scone with coffee (heat was nothing to him) and cleared his throat. "As for the original topic... forget I said anything. I don't wanna make you uncomfortable. Let's try something else."
Lucy shook her head. "No, you were right, Natsu. When I'm with you, I can be open about anything. I was worried I'd ruin the mood, but that won't be a problem, will it?"
"You can tell me whatever's on your mind. I'm here for you. My ears are open." Natsu picked a chocolate chip off his muffin (he wanted to savor it) and leaned closer, elbows on the table.
"Okay." Lucy exhaled and rolled her shoulders. "When I say I admire your sense of freedom on the soccer field, I'm not just praising your carefree spirit, Natsu. I actually envy it. College has been the first time I felt truly free. I'm still getting used to it."
"What do you mean?"
"It's because of how I was raised," Lucy confessed. She took a careful sip of her coffee. "I don't like telling people this, but my home life was... well, suffocating. My parents had serious money, but that didn't make things peachy for us. My father was always busy with work and tried to buy my love with gifts. And my mom was pretty much the same. I just had one good friend, and even she left my life when she moved away. My friend and I loved swimming in my family's private pool. I called her 'the mermaid.' We had all kinds of fun together."
Natsu nodded, soaking it all in. Damn, he had no idea! Wait, that was the point. Lucy didn't want people to see her this way on campus. But she did trust him, the doofus Natsu Dragneel. That meant a lot!
"I had to be a perfect student and role model. Nothing was decided for me," Lucy continued. She gestured with a hand. "It was so stifling, Natsu. I couldn't stand it. And when I was ten, my mom died, and my dad buried himself in work even more to deal with his grief. I felt like I had no life of my own! So, the minute I graduated from my private high school, I struck it out on my own. I vowed I'd never go back, no matter what." She clenched her hand into a defiant fist.
Natsu could only stare at her. He was so the opposite! His mom and dad let him do anything: watching cartoons as a kid whenever he wanted, running around with his neighborhood until sundown, getting into trouble on the weekends... great memories, all of 'em. It didn't feel right to tell Lucy, that, though. It didn't have the right vibes.
"So, I'm reinventing myself at college. I'm having a blast," Lucy concluded, smiling widely. "Please don't feel too sorry for me, Natsu. I want to be the happy Lucy everyone likes, and I have plenty of friends, most of all you. This is the life I always wanted. I made it."
Lucy yelped in surprise when Natsu grabbed her hand, squeezing it protectively as his eyes welled up with comical tears. Aw man, there went his no-crying streak. "I'm so glad you're here, Lucy!" Natsu blubbered. He didn't care if he looked stupid (ahem, stupider than usual). "Please don't ever go away! We're all here for you!"
"Well, we have to graduate sometime, don't we?" Lucy said with an awkward smile. "But thank you so much, Natsu. It means the world to me that you're on my side. Where would I be without you?"
"I dunno, but it wouldn't be as good as this," Natsu promised her. "Anything you need, you'll have it!"
"Aw, you're sweet, Natsu," Lucy said fondly. "But don't forget about yourself. I like you because you're a wonderful guy who can do anything. Your spirit is so inspiring. It's like a warm fire that energizes me."
Natsu let go of Lucy's hand and picked another chocolate chip off his muffin. "Eh, I'm just some dope who can kick a ball real good. You're the real deal, Lucy. You're the one who's going places."
"Maybe a local paper when I graduate," Lucy said with a casual shrug. She was studying journalism and mass media, after all. "I'm just doing that for the paycheck and to live independently. A job's a job, right?"
"You don't love journalism? You get to tell stories in the newspaper and stuff."
Lucy took another sip. "I do enjoy my studies. But I wonder: am I doing this to run toward something, or away from something? Maybe I'm studying in college just to defy my father. That means that even after I left my home, I'm still bound by him."
"Then promise yourself right now," Natsu declared, "that you, Lucy Heartfilia, love journalism and stories because it sets your heart ablaze! This is about the glorious future, your future! Make your dad sorry he ever tried to control you! It's your destiny." He clenched a fist for emphasis.
"Mommy, what's that pink-haired guy doing?" a little boy asked, pointing.
"Don't look, dear," the boy's mom said, ushering him out the door and into the rain.
Natsu winced. "No wonder I didn't join the drama club. And Erza's even worse at it than me."
Lucy blushed. "Natsu, I..."
"Can you do it? Promise yourself you'll seize that future. It ain't about your dad. It's about you! Show us the real Lucy."
Lucy hesitated, then put a hand to her heart, her brown eyes spitting fire (that's the stuff). "You're right, Natsu. I needed to hear that. I vow that my future is mine alone, and I'll make myself proud of who I am! I can do it! Destiny!" She raised both fists in triumph. Whooooo!
"Mama, that lady's being weird," a young girl said, pointing.
"Don't stare. Come on," her blazer-wearing dad said, ushering her out the door.
Lucy went bright red. "Maybe we should have saved this for a more private place?" She lowered her arms, trying to ignore the people giving her looks (including a nearby waiter).
Natsu winced. "Yeah, I guess. Sorry 'bout that. I got carried away. Just me derping around again."
"No, you did me a favor today," Lucy told him, leaning forward and taking Natsu's hand in hers (Natsu felt a thrill in his stomach). "Today is amazing, Natsu. I'm grateful. And I think our date is just getting started."
Natsu looked out the window. Still raining. "It's pretty wet out there. What did you have in mind?"
Once they finished their goodies and paid (big tip from Lucy), Natsu found out what his date had in mind!
Getting wet again.
"I've always wanted to try this!" Lucy cried happily over the noise of the rain and traffic. She spun around with her arms outstretched, all smiles as she kicked up water from puddles. "It's like something in a movie."
"You don't mind getting soaked again?" Natsu kept wiping rainwater out of his eyes. He felt a little chilly.
"Nope! Do you?"
Natsu smiled. "Not if you make it fun!" He spun around too, letting his inhibitions go as he defied conventional wisdom and let the rain wash over him, no umbrella needed. Other people gave them funny looks as they passed, but who cares? This was a riot! Rain or shine, Natsu always had the time of his life. Especially with a belly of baked goods and hot coffee.
Next, Lucy took Natsu's hand and led him down the street, and they let Magnolia take them wherever it wanted. They popped into a local used bookstore, where Natsu found a few storybook volumes that Levy might like, then found an antique store with a few goodies that Evergreen would definitely dig. Then, they happened upon an urban fashion store, where they made each other laugh as they tried on every hat and pair of sunglasses they could find until the impatient sales clerk chased those two non-buying customers outta there.
Natsu and Lucy also found a candy shop, where Natsu dug into his dwindling funds to get some gingerbread men (it's been a while since he tasted one) and Lucy found some colorful hard candy in all flavors. Natsu didn't even know this place existed, since it didn't sell skateboards, beer pongs, soccer cleats, or cheap logo shirts.
Finally, after getting soaked in rainwater and good times, Natsu hailed a cab for himself and his date and gave the driver his address.
"Ooooooh, going back to your place?" Lucy said excitedly as the taxi took a right at the intersection.
"I hope you don't mind taking the party there?"
"I sure don't, mister."
Natsu sat in comfortable silence for a minute, then cracked his neck. "You know what?"
"Mmmmm. What is it, Natsu?"
"I gave both you and Lisanna a pep talk on our dates, but this one felt different somehow."
"Do tell?"
"Yeah." Natsu swallowed, eyes fixed on the rainy street ahead. "It felt good to get Lisanna pumped up about herself. I'm proud of her. And now, I might be getting the same feeling for myself."
"You don't say? That sounds promising." Lucy gave Natsu an eager look. "Where is this going?"
Natsu shrugged. "I'm not 100% sure. But I can't wait to find out. I just might be done making up my life as I go. My passion has to take me somewhere. Right? Can I pull that off?"
Lucy wrapped her arms around her rain-drenched friend. "Of that, I'm 100% sure, Natsu."
Natsu couldn't help a wide, giddy smile the whole rest of the drive to his apartment.
"Anyone there?" Natsu hollered as he threw open the front door, and thank fucking goodness there was no answer! Even if Gray was jerkin' it in his room or Elfman was browsing one of the dirty magazines he still claimed to not have, they'd have the common courtesy to give a heads-up. That was the protocol the three guys had for bringing girls over, and for once, one of those chumps actually was bringing a girl over!
And she was. So. Ready.
"Fuck me, Natsu," Lucy told him as she and her date barged into Natsu's messy room, already making out. "I need you in me. Tear me in half! I'm all yours!"
"Yeah, you are," Natsu teased her, throwing on the light switch as he kept kissing his delightful date. "Welcome to the love shack, blondie. You'll be walkin' funny outta here tomorrow morning."
"Oh my!" Lucy giggled as Natsu tore off his damp shirt, showcasing his steely six-pack and firm abs in all their glory. He made a flex, and Lucy sighed with desire at the sight. "All that soccer is paying off. I just wanna lick you all up. I want that cock in my mouth..."
"Right here. Come get it." Natsu sat on the edge of his bed and unzipped his jeans, revealing the magnificent bulge of his ready man-meat under his boxers.
Lucy couldn't contain herself any longer. She knelt before her date, her breasts jiggling as she went, panting with desire. With trembling hands, Lucy yanked back Natsu's boxers, allowing Little Igneel to erupt from the fabric, ready to go. Lucy took hold of the base and lowered her mouth onto it, moaning again as she went.
"Aw, yeah." Natsu threw back his head and let the pleasure wash over him as Lucy started blowing him, using her lips and tongue like a pro as she went, gently massaging Little Igneel's base with her hand. Lucy was positively slobbering all over him, and that was just how Natsu liked it! Meanwhile, Lucy's head kept bobbing up and down on Natsu's shaft, and her pacing was a little reckless. Whoops.
"Slow down, hon," Natsu urged her. "We're just getting started. Save something for later."
Lucy dialed back the pace a little, and there we go! It was the perfect fellatio, and to mix things up, Natsu lay flat on his back, arms folded behind his head as Lucy climbed onto the bed for a new angle. She now knelt next to him on the mattress, still blowing and jerking her date, her ample cleavage easy to see from this angle (Natsu could see her bra). Lucy even used her free hand to start massaging Natsu's bare chest, lingering over his well-defined abs, her fingers warm and quivering with desire. Woo hoo! This girl wanted it bad, and she didn't need a word to tell him that. She simply savored every square inch of Natsu Dragneel she could reach.
Then, as Natsu felt himself approaching you-know-what, he gently patted Lucy's head. "Switch. I'm getting close to releasing my load here!"
"I wouldn't mind," Lucy said with a sly smile as she let go of Natsu's weiner, but still, she did as asked. Natsu tugged off his pants and boxers, stripping down 'till he was naked. He stood by the bed, hands on his hips.
"Is this gettin' you in the mood?" Natsu asked.
Lucy nodded eagerly.
"Are you wet in every way right now? Feeling soaked, my little skankwad?"
"So wet..." Lucy sighed happily.
"I'd like a taste for myself. I'm thirsty, Lucy! Get in position!"
Natsu pointed, and a giggling Lucy sat on the edge of the bed, only for Natsu to push her down with just enough force to make it firmly erotic. Lucy acted charmingly submissive, lolling her head to the side, her damp blonde hair scattered around her. Meanwhile, Natsu got to work, lifting up Lucy's short, pleated skirt to reveal the pink undies underneath. And like Lisanna's, those undies were skintight and thin! Natsu clearly saw the definition of Lucy's labia through the fabric, and damn, was she aroused!
"Here we go!" Natsu couldn't stop a wide, goofy grin as he took hold of Lucy's modest pink panties and eased them down her legs, getting them right over her feet before flinging them onto his cluttered desk. Natsu felt his heart thudding with blistering-hot lust while spreading Lucy's legs nice and wide, revealing that slick, fresh pink pussy in all its glory.
"Ah. My secret garden...!" Lucy moaned, using that charming old cliche. "I'm so exposed...!"
"Hey, you got a good look at my manhood. Now it's your turn."
"I know. I'm such a filthy freak. Look at me, so dirty... take me! Ravish my tender flesh!"
"I'm going in!" Natsu took hold of Lucy's smooth, sexy thighs and knelt before his lady, bringing his mouth to her waiting pussy. Natsu went "mmmmmmmmm" as he started toying with Lucy's labia, fiddling with the delicate wet flesh, savoring the taste. This girl was sweet like candy, and soft like silk. Natsu couldn't get enough of it! He started gobbling her up for real now, the cunnilingus dial cranking up as Natsu's lips and tongue tried every trick they knew. And it was sure as hell working, based on Lucy's aroused groaning and her squirming as Natsu kept up the pressure.
This felt right. So right. In the flesh, in Natsu's heart, everywhere. This was a bond that was meant to be, something that illuminated a path he had never seen before. He could go anywhere with Lucy, and she would happily be by his side.
How could he let this go?
Natsu made sure to stick his tongue nice and deep into Lucy's fun parts, and he was rewarded with even louder, more excited squealing from his date, Lucy's navel bucking as Natsu went. "N-Natsu, I'm about to...!" Lucy wailed.
Knowing what was coming, Natsu backed up and to the side as the thoroughly aroused Lucy started squirting, unable to hold herself back any longer. Lucy's chest heaved with pleasure as she did it, her breaths coming in steamy puffs, her legs trembling. "Ah... aahhhhhh..." Lucy breathed.
"Damn, I'm good," Natsu blurted out, and they both burst into laughter. Maybe that sounded cocky (haha), but it was obviously true! Natsu would positively die of shame if he couldn't please his woman the way she deserved. Lucy was a princess. She needed the royal treatment.
But since Lucy had just orgasmed, it was agreed that she and Natsu would wait before doing anything else X-rated. So, they cleaned things up a little, and once again, Natsu retreated to the bathroom while Lucy cooled down in the bedroom. Natsu faced himself in the mirror.
"You've got a good thing going," he told his nude self, pointing. "You're a man who makes others happy. And she makes you happy. When this is over, you'll decide where this is going. You've got more than the next morning to think about."
He imagined Cana, Lisanna, and Lucy all standing nude around him, and not just for the sexy sight of it. All three girls had bared their true selves to him, being naked in two different ways, and Natsu wasn't afraid to do the same to each of them. And if he made any of these girls cry, he'd better start running, because Mirajane was faster than she looked!
Okay. Time to get back in there.
"I missed you," Lucy teased Natsu, sitting upright on the bed, an innocent finger to her lips. "You already got my juices flowing, Natsu. What will you do to me next? Please, be gentle!"
Her eyes, meanwhile, said Fuck me into oblivion.
Roger that!
"Get back down, you little minx," Natsu said in-character, pushing Lucy onto the sheets once again as he towered over her. "You're in my lair, and you're not leaving unscathed! Every square inch of you is mine to play with!"
"Oh, no! Oh, dear!" Lucy said in-character. "I'm just an innocent maiden!"
"Zip it, skank! This is coming off!" Natsu took hold of Lucy's pleated white skirt, undid its little zipper, and eagerly slid it right off. Then he unfastened Lucy's heeled sandals and moved on to her top, peeling the rain-soaked fabric off her huge breasts. Lucy's pink bra came into sight, her ample bosom barely contained in the fabric. Then, Natsu made a show of taking the bra off as well, savoring the succulent sight of Lucy's bare breasts emerging into the warm, dry air of his bedroom. Lucy's nipples poked right up, and Natsu didn't hesitate to lower himself onto them, toying with each of them with his lips and tongue. His yapper wasn't done just yet!
Neither was Little Igneel. Because Natsu was back on his home turf, and he had enough condoms to last until graduation. If he paced himself.
He paced nothing.
The next three hours were nothing but unrestrained carnal pleasure as Natsu made sweet love to his date, showing her his love and basking in her radiant beauty as he plowed her from every angle he could think of. Natsu fucked her good with doggy-style first, reaching around to take hold of Lucy's breasts as he went, still fiddling with the nipples as his protected cock rammed into her, his ballsack tapping repeatedly against Lucy's flesh.
Then Lucy rode him like a cowgirl, shouting his name at the top of her lungs as she rocked on that man-meat. At one point, Lucy lay near the bed's edge once again, legs wide apart as Natsu delivered the steamy goods, and at some other point, Lucy lay on her side with her legs closed, Natsu porking her from behind in her tightened vagina for extra stimulation.
It felt like it would never end. Natsu never wanted it to stop. But his bedframe and cock could only take so much, and Lucy's fun parts could only handle so much stretching and jostling. Natsu had no idea what time it was by the time they finally stopped, but as they lay side by side on the bed, watching the ceiling panting for breath, Natsu felt a surge of satisfaction sweep over him. This was it. He nailed date 3 of 3, and before long, he'd have everything figured out. Indeed, this would be his year!
And he had so many wonderful people to share it with.

It wasn't until the next morning when Lucy finally got dressed again and kissed Natsu one last time as sunlight glowed in the bedroom window's blinds. "I really need to get going," Lucy told Natsu. "I have a class in two hours. Wouldn't want to miss it. But I'll miss you." She smiled.
"You sure you don't have time for one more round?" Natsu joked, and Lucy gave him a little shove.
"See you another time, lover boy," Lucy said, blowing him a kiss and giving him a wink before she opened the bedroom door and waltzed out of the apartment. Natsu let her go, his mind still heavy with erotic and confused thoughts. He didn't feel like doing much today, not after the last week he had. He did have an afternoon class today, but no way in hell was he attending that shit.
Then the front door opened again.
It was Elfman.
Natsu scrambled to get dressed and tried to act cool as he wandered out of his bedroom. "Hey, good morning," Natsu greeted his roommate brightly. "You're just now getting home?"
"I was up late studying with Jellal. He let me crash on his couch," Elfman explained. "But that's not what I wanted to talk about, Natsu. I've got a problem."
"What's wrong?"
"It's Evergreen." Elfman gestured helplessly, his oafish face twisted with worry. "I always strive to be a perfect gentleman, Natsu! You know me. After Cana's party, I thought I felt a stronger connection with Evergreen, so I tried to ask her out, but..." He shrugged his beefy shoulders. "She rejected me."
"Oof. That sucks, my man," Natsu said. "I'm guessing she didn't say what the problem was?"
"Well, Evergreen did say that I annoy her."
Crud. That could mean any number of things.
"So... what should I do?" Elfman added.
Natsu put a fist to his heart. "I promise to make this right, Elfman. Why don't I coach you in the ways of courtship?"
"Great! I owe you." Elfman grinned and rubbed his hands together. "How about this afternoon, when Evergreen gets out of class -"
"Whoa. No, no," Natsu said, holding up both hands. "You've been going after Evergreen for a while now. It's time for you to back off and give her space for a while, then try again in the right context." He was also speaking to himself here, but Natsu deigned not to tell Elfman that.
"When will I know it's the right time to try again?"
Natsu glanced up in thought. "How about..." Then he set a timetable for both himself and Elfman when he declared, "When we all go to Crocus for the soccer game against the Sabertooths, everyone will get what they deserve with their perfect romance. It'll be a vacation to remember!"
Elfman raised a fist, his expression hopeful. "Yeah, that's it! We're all going to Crocus for the game anyway. Might as well make it a super-vacation!"
"That's what I'm saying, my man." Natsu grinned and offered a high-five that Elfman returned with bone-rattling force. Damn, Natsu keeps forgetting that Elfman has no restraint. What an ogre. "Until then, lay low and keep cool. I'll practice my kick, and you practice your lines. I'll be there to help you when the time comes."
"Amazing! This shall be our year!" Elfman thundered, and he marched right into the kitchen. "To cap off this good mood, I shall have my last yogurt cup!" He swung open the fridge. "DAMMIT, NATSU!"
"It wasn't me!" Natsu lied, shielding his head with his hands as he scampered back to his bedroom. He was just in time, because a thrown plastic plate bounced right off the wall where Natsu's head had been two seconds earlier.
Seriously, though, Natsu had a good feeling about the next few weeks.
