A Muddy Misconception - Part 2

Natsu Dragneel was nervous, for probably the first time in his adult life.

The party was only an hour away, and, having spent the better part of that hour standing in his living room in nothing but an open shirt and his boxers, he had a sneaking suspicion he might be late. The fitted burgundy dress shirt that Mira had given Happy to give to Natsu was nice enough, if a little too tight for his tastes; but she couldn't decide what to pair it with, if the pile of trousers, jackets and ties at his feet were any indication as he darted back and forth over what to wear.

He doubted very much that he would be let into the guild if he decided to channel the Ice Prick and turn up naked...he had a feeling his blond best friend wouldn't mind, given the way she'd tried to tug his boxers off earlier that day. A pang of longing caused his chest to throb as he thought of this morning in the swamp, then a silly grin replaced that longing when he remembered her reaction to him.

He was over the moon than the beautiful blond wanted him, but in what capacity? Was it just lust or was there a deeper meaning behind her actions...Natsu didn't want to think about how much it would hurt him if it turned out she just wanted him for sex.

His eyes darkened in arousal as he thought to later on when he finally got to pull her into his arms and kiss her senseless again, hopefully more. Now that he'd been granted a taste of her sweet lips, he couldn't imagine himself without.

Speaking of Lucy, was this why she spent so long getting dressed in the morning, deciding what to wear?

On another note, listening to the sarcastic remarks of a bored Happy certainly wasn't helping the frustrated scowl on his face, it wasn't Natsu's fault he was pretty crap at this stuff...it had never bothered him before.

But it was worth it just to make his best friends birthday just that little more special, so, with a dramatic sigh, the Dragon Slayer settled on the black slacks he had tossed to the floor half an hour ago and a simple open black waistcoat he had once stolen from Laxus, which didn't fit him all that well (given how big the Lightning Dragon Slayers muscles were) but completed the look.

Who the hell had decided on a black tie ball for Lucy's surprise party anyways?

Natsu had rather have a casual evening surrounded by their friends, an endless supply of alcohol and Mira's cooking; but Erza insisted on a swanky shindig instead. Of course he has planned a separate surprise for the beautiful blond birthday girl away from the prying eyes of their nosy friends, but the only one to know about that little detail other than Natsu, was Happy. The pinkette was pretty sure that the girls just wanted another excuse to dress up all fancy like and spend all afternoon gossiping about boys and makeup, or whatever the Fairy Tail women did when they got ready together.

"What about this?" Natsu turned to ask Happy, who was currently floating in front of the mirror over the Fireplace (a gift courtesy of Lucy, who had tried to spruce the place up a little) and was preening his blue fur, which had been freshly washed and dried and now sported a cute matching black waistcoat and bowtie.

"That is what Mira told you to wear in the first place." Happy sighed.

"I know that, but do I wear a tie or my scarf?" Natsu held up both options in either hand.

"Wow, I really hope Lucy agrees to be your girlfriend tonight or you're gonna be stuck spending a lifetime asking fashion advice from a cat."

"Gee...thanks buddy." Natsu rolled his eyes and decided against either option, it was hot enough outside and even though he loved his scarf, he wanted to look smart for once. Giving his pink mop of spikes a quick tousle with his hand, he grinned at his reflection in the mirror.

He scrubbed up pretty well, if he did say so himself.

"Yosh! I'm ready."

"Great...now lets get to the guild before Cana drinks the bar dry or I die of boredom."

"Geesh, aye Sir!"

Lucy felt a bout of nerves mixed with excitement enter her body as she followed the group of chattering women as they arrived at the guild hall at precisely nine o clock that evening.

Perfectly on time.

Loud music could be heard inside, the wooden doors were pushed open and the dull drone of chatter from within suddenly silenced as the group entered, except for the blond as she took one look at the beautiful sight before her and gasped.

What must have been miles of twinkling fairy lights had been strung up from the ceiling to mimic the night sky, Lucy spotted a few of the constellations of her Celestial Spirits shining in gold to separate them from the rest of the lights. Soft blue and pink lighting (her favourite colours) lit the space between the food tables and seating areas, the normal wooden tables were lain with fancy glittery tablecloths. The bar had even been set up to look like a cocktail bar; complete with a grumpy looking Laxus and Gajeel playing the role of barmen, sporting matching waistcoats and bowties.

The blond looked to the bar and giggled silently into her hand as she saw Gajeel seemed to still be in a daze from the happy news earlier as he was polishing a glass so hard it was close to shattering. Lucy finally looked up to above the stage where a large sparkling banner of words wished Fairy Tail's resident Celestial Mage a Happy Birthday, hung above the curtains, framing the space that had been cleared to make way for a dancefloor.

Her reaction was completely genuine as she pressed her hands to cover her mouth as dozens of wizards yelled 'Surprise!' and 'Happy Birthday!'. Somewhere in the crowd she heard Macao yell 'Looking hot there, Lucy!' and she flushed in embarrassment. She was absolutely sure she heard a familiar growl of possessiveness in response to the old mans words which caused her insides to loop in excitement.

Letting her brown eyes travel over the crowd, she tried to spot a certain pink haired Dragon Slayer but was swiftly pulled away by a determined Erza on a mission.

Lucy spent much of the next half an hour in a daze as she was pulled around the hall, greeting her fellow guild mates as Erza went into an monologue about who had done what for the party. She was slightly thankful when Cana pulled her away and marched her towards the bar, leaving the Requip Mage to drone on for a few moment until she finally noticed she was alone.

"Come on Boobs, lets get you shitfaced!"

"Uh, I'm quite alright...thanks Cana!" Lucy laughed nervously.

"Aw you gotta get pissed on your birthday!"

Lucy squeaked and shot off away from the bar to escape having a bottle shoved down her throat like the time at her award ceremony and she stopped by the stairs to the second floor.

Just where was Natsu?

The pinkette had a flair for making a dramatic entrance so she was half expecting him to appear in a blaze of flames or to drop in from the ceiling. What she didn't expect was the sudden feeling of all of her nerve endings sparking to life as she felt a familiar pair of heated hands grasp her hips possessively from behind, a set of hot lips brushing against her left ear.

"Holy shit." A soft voice spoke huskily into her ear and she shuddered as those lips then moved to press a kiss to her jawline.

"N-Natsu..." Lucy sighed longingly as the form of her best friend came into her vision as he circled her slowly. Looking up at him through half lidded eyes a flush of lust took over her cheeks as she took in the well fitted burgundy dress shirt, waistcoat and black slacks; to the sexy grin on his handsome face as he gazed adoringly at her.

On reflex, she crossed her arms in front of her as her traitorous brain decided that as good as he looked in dress clothes, she'd rather see his muscled body out of them.

"Stop circling me like a vulture." She hissed half heartedly.

"You look amazing." Natsu whispered, pulling her towards him in a tight hug, Lucy gasped as she felt the semi-hard length of his arousal pressed against her lower belly and she lifted her lips to his ear.

"Guess I'm not the only one all worked up." Lucy murmured hotly against his skin. "Why did you leave me earlier? Because of you I nearly burned down my apartment."

She felt Natsu chuckle huskily.

"How did you manage that?"

"You left me in such a daze I forgot to put water over the pasta I was trying to cook for dinner." Lucy let her lips trail teasingly across his neck and smiled when she felt him swallow audibly.

"Well let me make it up to you?" Natsu briefly pressed his forehead against hers then pulled away and took both of her hands.

"How?" Lucy tilted her head to gaze up at him, her golden waves cascading over her shoulder.

"Dance with me?" His eyes softened as he gazed at her heatedly.

Lucy felt her eyes widen and her jaw dropped.

"Who are you and what did you do with Natsu?

The blond regarded the grin making its way to his face very suspiciously, Lucy Heartfilia knew to be extremely cautious when Natsu smiled like that.

Funnily enough, Natsu's idea of 'dancing' turned out to be spinning the both of them around over dramatically around the dancefloor, bumping into several other couples along the way, all whilst touching her wherever he could.

Hot, sweaty and more than a little aroused at his fingertips teasing over the skin her dress left bare, she tried to catch her breath in between their sporadic movements.

Lucy squealed, shutting her eyes tightly as Natsu tilted her back as they spun again, his hand sneaking down to squeeze her ass.

"Natsu!" Lucy huffed and glared up at him.

"What?" he pulled her into him at the hips and leaned in until they were nose to nose. "I can't help it when you look so beautiful."

Lucy flushed and opened her mouth to reply when her stomach dropped suddenly as she was dipped backwards as the song they were dancing to stopped. She felt his warm hand slip into the back of her dress, his fingertips softly caressing her bare skin; she moved her hand into the thick of his hair at the nape of his neck.

"S-Stop teasing me already." She hissed desperately to him.

Natsu huffed and was about to lean down and crush his lips against hers when the booming voice of Master Makarov announced that it was time to eat.

Lucy looked around them to find a crowd of their friends moving towards the food table, seemingly paying the two of them no mind. Normally, this would be where Natsu completely forgot about her and cheered, running off towards the food.

Lucy was about to ask him why he was gazing at her and not going to fill his endless stomach with Mira's delicious cooking; when his strong hands pulled her towards him and a pair of heated lips latched on to her throat.

"N-Natsu! Not in public!" Lucy panicked, torn between a gasp at her best friend being so bold and moaning at the way his tongue darted out to sooth the mark on her neck.

Would the two new lovers really be missed if they escaped for a few minutes?

Lucy looked around at the guild, it seemed that everyone was preoccupied with eating. Well, not everyone...Erza was fiercely guarding the large strawberry shortcake that Mira had made especially for her and was glaring at anyone who went within ten foot of it. Gray was sitting next to Juvia, with Wendy and Carla opposite and chatting about something funny. Levy was perched at the bar with Lily and talking quietly with her mate. Everyone was busy.

"Luce...lets disappear for a bit." Natsu groaned against her ear.

This was a new one...Natsu wasn't interested in the food?

"Not hungry?" Lucy pulled away to gaze at him.

"Not for food." Natsu murmured against her lips, looking down at her pointedly.

Lucy couldn't help the way lust began to pool in her body as his words of promise caused her to smile coyly. Apparently Natsu was just as effected by the sexual tension between them as she was.

So the decision was made, the two of them ditched the party and ran towards the second floor, Lucy giggling like a little schoolgirl. They didn't notice the several pairs of eyes watching them go with a sly grin on their faces.

"Seems kids these days can't keep their hands off each other for five minutes..." Laxus chuckled and turned to pour a confused Mira a drink.

Natsu ran his tongue along the seam of her lips, begging entrance; Lucy opened her mouth to him willingly, the heat rising between them as the door to the infirmary was kicked shut by her impatient Dragon Slayer.

"We do find some rather odd places to sneak off to." Lucy whimpered as she found herself pressed against the door of the infirmary.

The door didn't lock but the excitement of possibly being caught by another guild member shot a thrill of excitement through her body, did that make her a pervert?

"It was either this or Gramps' office..." Natsu grinned down at her as he rucked his hips against hers, causing a low moan to escape her throat as he trailed his scorching tongue against her pulse point.

"I'd ra-AH!-ther live passed my birthday party, thanks!" Lucy gasped then giggled.

"You asked." Natsu grinned against her neck.

Lucy decided she'd had enough of talking and raised her hand to pull him closer to her –

"Speaking of parties you didn't seem that surprised..."

Oh crap. Lucy pulled away and couldn't hide the guilt from her face at Natsu's raised eyebrow and suspicious look.

Busted!

"Heh...well, Mira might have accidentally blabbed while we were getting ready." Lucy flushed.

"Wow...after all the shit Happy and I got about not blabbing everything..."

"How could you tell I knew?" Lucy asked, tilting her head in intrigue.

"Can't keep secrets from me, Luce." Natsu replied, his hands beginning to explore the bare skin of her sides. "The nose knows."

Lucy looked surprised for a moment, before she leaned up to brush her lips against his neck, loving the way his throat bobbed as he gasped.

"That's what you think, Natsu." She opened her lips to teeth at his neck. "Who says I'm not hiding something now?"

The Dragon Slayer almost howled in frustration as Lucy toyed with the buttons of his dress shirt, slipping a few open dexterously as she used the other hand to pull him down to kiss her.

Their lips met furiously, earning a moan from her lips as she felt his questing fingertips tracing lightly against the skin at her thigh, exposed by the slit in her dress. Opening her mouth to swirl their tongues together languidly, she felt Natsu groan and pull away to rest his forehead against hers.

"So what is this big secret you're keeping then?"

"Lets just say this dress isn't the only sexy red thing I'm wearing tonight." Lucy managed to get the rest of the shirt undone and ran her palm over his pectorals, feeling his heartbeat thudding quickly in his chest.

Natsu did howl this time, he pulled Lucy into his grip, lifting her into his arms as he marched them towards one of the infirmary beds, laying her down and leaning over her, crushing his lips to hers as he ground their hips together. Lowering his lips to trail his mouth over the pebbled peaks at the center of each breast, he mouthed one bud gently as he looked up at her reaction.

He found himself slack jawed however when he found her with a hand against the nape of her neck as she undid the top of her dress and let it fall loose over her chest. His breath shuddered as she smiled coyly at him and slowly pulled the fabric down. Groaning deeply at the sight of the flimsy and extremely thin burgundy sheer bra, if it could be called a damn bra with all that thin ribbon holding it to her body; Lucy may as well be wearing nothing.

Natsu had seen her in some pretty revealing outfits before, but this contraption left him feeling the most aroused and hot under the collar he'd ever felt.

"Holy fuck, Luce..." Natsu sat back and trailed his thumbs over her hardened nubs and she moaned sweetly, her head falling back into the pillow, messing her golden waves. He then leaned down to press a lingering open mouthed kiss to her cleavage. "You trying to kill me?"

"I-It's a matching set." Lucy murmured between moans as her back arched again as he ground his hips into hers again.

Natsu made a mental note that Lucy was definitely trying to kill him and also noted to get a good look at the second half of the set later, but right now he had two nubs standing for his attention. So his free hand began to tease her other nipple, eliciting a hot whine from her swollen lips. The Dragon Slayer felt his internal temperature rising as he tugged aside the sheer fabric to latch his lips unhindered to her peak as his free hand tweaked the other back and forth roughly.

The Dragon Slayer felt himself harden fully at the way their hips rucked together desperately, each tug on her nipples earning him a little whine as she panted helplessly below him, so he sped up his teasing, increasing the motion of his hips to a point where her breasts bounced from the motion.

Lucy suddenly made a noise of protest as she pushed him away from her chest, panting hard, her cheeks a ruddy crimson and eyes glazed over with lust.

Wondering if he had done something wrong, his eyebrows rose as she used a rare show of physical strength to roll them over, the skirt of her dress bunched indecently at her thighs. Natsu felt his eyes widening as he caught a brief glimpse of the matching red sheer bottoms of the set and he growled at her when her eyes fluttered closed at the feel of his arousal poking against her inner thigh.

A bolt of pleasure shot down to her core as their tongues danced playfully.

"L-Luce..." Natsu swallowed a lump in his throat as he sat back and watched her grind slowly against his length, causing him to tilt his head back in a sharp hiss, his hand diving urgently beneath her skirt to rub against her center.

Oh holy hell, he could feel the heat of her arousal against his fingertips and he rose to duck and take a nub into his mouth and swirl around the areola languidly, her hand fisting in his hair to press himself harder against her chest as Lucy shuddered above him with need as his fingers sped up their pace at her core.

"Y-Yes Natsu...right there!" Lucy gasped above him.

With the fabric of her bra sufficiently soaked, he pulled on the ribbon tied at the nape of her neck and groaned when the fabric parted and exposed her heaving breasts to him. His groan suddenly turned into a whine as he felt Lucy parting his trousers to slip a small hand into his boxers to grasp him firmly.

A few pumps of her hand and Natsu was in bliss, closing his eyes and letting this beautiful woman have her way with his length. He let out a guttural moan as she quickened her pace, his hips lifting up to allow her more access.

"S-Shit Luce!"

Suddenly there was a low knock on the door of the infirmary, Natsu was still in an aroused daze as he didn't notice Lucy gasping, before letting go of his aching member and stumbling towards the door, her legs wobbling while redoing the straps of her bra and dress quickly.

"Y-Yes?" Lucy squeaked, trying to keep her voice even.

"Lu-chan?" The voice of Levy spoke through the door. "Sorry if I'm interrupting but Erza is looking for you two...she wants to cut the birthday cake."

Lucy heard a low growl and had to bite down a whimper as she felt a pair of lips pressing urgent kisses against her throat, a strong arm wrapped around her stomach, bending her over at the waist as she was forced to rest her hands on the door to avoid falling. Natsu's free hand slipped into the fabric of her dress to rub circles against her core again in fast circles.

Lucy felt her body shuddering at the thought of Natsu playing with her while her best female friend stood on the other side of the door and she sighed.

"L-Levy, can you stall her please?" Lucy held back a moan. "Ten minutes..."

A huff of mischievous laughter came through the wooden door as Natsu increased the tempo of his rubbing, hissing at he felt the wetness beneath the thin fabric hiding her from him.

"Sure...just be sure to save room for dessert!"

With Levy gone, Lucy shrieked in pleasure as Natsu growled and swiftly tugged aside the fabric of her panties and thrust two thick fingers into her core suddenly and she felt liquid heat pooling in her center as he ground his erection into her backside, his teeth latching onto her throat with all the ferocity of a feral animal, she rested her forehead against the door as his free hand moved north to tug at her breast.

"N-Natsu! Hmn..."

"Fuck...Luce."

The blond had no words as the feeling of her clamping down on his thrusting fingers within her as her hips bucked backwards into his arousal and caused him to quicken his pace. Lucy was moaning breathily with every thrust and he used his free hand to lift one of her thighs and hold it in his forearm, allowing his fingers deeper access within her core.

"H-Harder, Natsu." She keened against him, her head falling back against his shoulder as he growled against her neck.

"Fuck I wanna taste you so badly." Natsu growled into her ear, quickly letting go of her leg to spin her around and crushing his lips against hers.

"Why'd you stop?" Lucy whined in desperation, before gasping as Natsu lifted the hand coated in her juices to his lips, to taste her arousal.

Lucy gasped and looked up at him, slightly intimidated by the feral look of arousal in his own eyes as he leant down to kiss her again.

"I've got a whole lot of things I wanna do to you, but for now we'd better not keep Erza from that damn cake." Natsu huffed in frustration that they couldn't continue what they started but he didn't want their first time to be in such a place.

What he had planned for after the party was much more romantic than getting hot and heavy with his hopefully soon to be girlfriend on a hospital bed.

Ten minutes had soon turned into twenty by the time Natsu had calmed his arousal and Lucy had made herself presentable enough to re-join the busy party, Lucy's hair was still slightly mussed and her lipstick had all but worn off but Natsu couldn't help the pride that overcame him when he thought that if anything, Lucy looked even more beautiful when dishevelled and needy.

The two found their team all sitting around a table close to the dancefloor, Erza sitting at the head of the table, Gray and Juvia on her left, Wendy, Carla and Happy on her right. There were two chairs open which Lucy assumed were for Natsu and herself. There was still some food on the tables, so Natsu whispered he would go and grab a plate full for them to share. Lucy blushed as Natsu covertly squeezed her ass and waltzed off. Erza was watching him go with an irate look on her face.

Lucy then felt the heat of those eyes on her and gulped audibly and smiled at the redhead.

"Erza! How's it going, you enjoying the party?"

"Where have you two been?" Erza demanded. "What exactly have you two been doing?"

"Each other by the looks of it." Gray snickered, causing both Lucy and Wendy to blush scarlet.

"We just kissed, nothing more!" Lucy lied, attempting to smooth her hair down. "We just wanted to escape for a bit is all."

"Then why does Flame Brain have his fly undone?"

Lucy blushed an even deeper red and opened and closed her mouth several times like a fish. So much for making themselves presentable...

"Oh my!" Juvia pressed a hand to her mouth, a naughty look on her face as she looked across at Gray. Maybe they could sneak off too?

"Kids these days..." Carla shook her little white head while Happy grinned cheekily.

"Shall I remind you all we have a minor in our presence?" Erza was resting her elbows on the table, pressing her fingertips together which reminded Lucy of the way a criminal mastermind would regard his underlings when they did something wrong. "Regardless of what Lucy and Natsu have or haven't been doing, they are here now and that is all that matters."

"Thank you Erza." Lucy sighed in relief.

"But as thrilled as I am for the two of you there will be no more fornicating until after the party, do I make myself clear? We are already behind schedule."

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Lucy squeaked.

Natsu returned shortly with a platter absolutely heaving with as much as the Dragon Slayer could pile onto it. Pastries, pies, chips, and a bowl full of his favourite spicy chicken wings that Lucy also loved, courtesy of Natsu.

He sat down next to a still red faced Lucy and paid no mind to the raised eyebrow sent his way by a still glowering Erza.

Erza watched in mild amusement as Lucy quickly whispered something to Natsu, who blushed beetroot, looked down at his crotch and quickly adjusted himself; before diving into his plate as though nothing had happened.

All seven of them soon relaxed and began chatting as though nothing scandalous had happened and enjoyed each others company. The food and drinks were excellent and Natsu seemed to be in an especially good mood as he munched on one of Mira's famous apple pies.

"Save some food for others, Flame Breath." Gray teased good naturedly. "Don't forget Mira is saving anything left over for tomorrow."

"Yeah yeah..." Natsu grumbled.

"Tomorrow?" Lucy tilted her head in confusion as she raised her glass of wine to take a sip.

"Mira and Gramps are opening the guild to the local homeless and vulnerable to come and eat a decent meal and get medical attention if they need it." Wendy smiled. "I'm not sure who came up with such a great idea but most of the guild have offered up their time to volunteer, we hope if it goes well it will become a regular thing."

Lucy choked on her drink and felt a blush heat her cheeks, she was absolutely sure no one knew about her plan to ask Makarov and Mira about opening the guild for the homeless; so how on earth did they suddenly decide this?

"Um...wow that's a great idea! How did they come up with it?" Lucy asked innocently.

The other members of the table shrugged while a certain pinkette chuckled lightly next to her.

"You aren't exactly hard to read Luce, you had no idea that I followed you from the guild the other day when you shot off with a bag of food after ghosting me." Natsu was smiling down at her and Lucy felt her jaw drop open. "I saw you giving it to that old fella."

"B-But...I...how did you know I wanted to talk to Gramps and Mira?" Lucy stammered, feeling herself blush in embarrassment at the attention she was getting from her surprised team mates.

"Silly Lucy...you've got the biggest heart I know of under all that weirdness." Natsu leaned in and nudged her nose with his own, smiling at her. "It wasn't hard to figure out what you had planned...so I suggested your idea to Mira."

Lucy felt her eyes pooling with tears as she threw her arms around him and kissed him in full view of their team mates and the rest of the guild. Natsu grunted in surprise and didn't waste a second before kissing her back passionately.

Several cheers, shouts of encouragement and wolf whistles rang out around the guild and the two lovebirds pulled away from each other with red cheeks, Lucy looked down at her hands while Natsu scratched his hair with a silly grin on his face.

"Finally!" Cana yelled from the bar.

"Thank you." Lucy whispered it so quietly that only Natsu could hear her and he reached down to squeeze her hand gently, much to her delight his fingertips teased her thigh.

"So you did ignore orders to not follow Lucy in case she figured out the party?" Erza sounded angry, but there was a small smile on her face that told Natsu she wasn't actually cross.

"You didn't really think you could keep me away, did you?" Natsu grinned. "And what about you guys blabbing to Luce about the party?" he raised his eyebrow suspiciously.

"What?!" Gray spluttered, looking at each of the girls.

Erza turned red with guilt and cleared her throat.

"T-That was Mira's fault!"

"Nah, I'm just messing with ya...Luce told me what happened." Natsu grinned to show there were no hard feelings.

"I did question why we were throwing a huge party for Asuka's teeth but I really appreciate what you guys have done for me, it's been a magical night." Lucy smiled dreamily.

"Well it ain't over yet, Luce!" Natsu growled, waggling his eyebrows suggestively at Lucy, causing her to blush prettily.

"Natsu!"

By the time that the guests had eaten, gotten completely drunk and danced some more, it was pushing midnight.

Happy had strangely disappeared an hour ago, when Lucy questioned Natsu on it he had simply shrugged with a tint of pink on his cheeks.

Lucy had chosen not to press him further and instead kicked off her heels to let her feet rest from so much dancing and she and Natsu were cuddled up in one of the secluded booths by the door.

Natsu had slow danced (or tried to while not stepping on her toes) with her after dinner and had gotten her all worked up again, if the way his fingertips snaking up her thigh under the fabric of her dress was anything to go by.

The hall was surprisingly quiet, given most of the guild were still partying with only the members with children having called it a night and retired to bed. Lucy had her legs draped over Natsu's lap and she was trying not to moan as the pinkette locked the heat of his gaze with hers and let his fingertips trace lightly over her center, thumb teasing against the edge of the fabric.

"Something the matter, Luce? Natsu looked at her curiously, but his smile was mischievous, he leaned in towards her and pressed a slow and deep kiss against her lips.

"N-No..." Lucy pulled away and gasped as his fingers started rubbing in slow circles. "Mmn..."

"Think it's an acceptable enough time to quit and ditch?" Natsu murmured against her neck, letting his tongue drag against her skin and huffing a warm breath against the wetness. Lucy shuddered and looked around the hall again.

Gray and Juvia were swaying back and forth besides Gajeel and Levy, with Mira and a red faced Laxus rotating awkwardly on the spot.

The rest of their guild mates were all crowded round the bar, cheering on Cana as she battled a very red faced Erza in a drinking contest.

"What did you have in mind?" Lucy murmured.

"Gotta surprise for you." Natsu promised. "Just for us."

Lucy simply nodded, whining as Natsu removed his hand from her skirt and he pulled her to her feet, letting her grab her heels in one hand, the other in his.

Without another pause, the two lovers made their exit from the party, closing the wooden doors behind them quietly.

Lucy giggled as she was offered Natsu's back, which she took gratefully, her arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders and his warm hands holding her behind the knees as he started a swift pace to a destination known only to him.

It was warm and silent as they walked through the streets of Magnolia, only a few people ambling around on their way home from taverns or on the way to work for the early morning. Most houses were dark, a few lights scattered here and there to help illuminate the streets as Natsu carried her.

"So what is this surprise?" Lucy whispered against his neck, nuzzling into his comforting scent of firewood.

"Wouldn't be a surprise if I told ya." Natsu chucked.

Lucy huffed and chose not to reply, simply nuzzling into him as he eventually reached the familiar path to the home Natsu shared with Happy.

As he led her through the trees, his house eventually came into view, but instead of leading her to the front door, they turned and walked around the cottage to the clearing behind it.

Lucy gasped as she spotted a small campfire being tended to by a little blue Exceed who was poking into the flames with a stick, sat next to the fire was a small hamper and a thick blanket and some pillows nestled amongst the grass. The sky was dotted with stars and the crescent moon shone brightly, illuminating twelve sets of constellations in particular that almost seemed to be twinkling especially for her.

Well that would explain where Happy had disappeared off too...

"All done buddy?" Natsu set Lucy down and walked up to his best animal friend and rubbed him on the head.

"Mission accomplished!" Happy smiled and conjured his wings and floated into the air, flying towards Lucy and hugging her chest. "Do you like it Lushi?"

The Celestial Mage felt her heart melt and she hugged him back.

"It's beautiful, thank you Happy."

"Good luck Natsu!" Happy called and with that, the blue cat whooshed off into the air and back towards town, leaving the two of them alone in the evening air.

Lucy turned to look at Natsu about to ask him what Happy meant by saying good luck, but found herself stopping when she looked at him; he was suddenly looking nervous as he walked towards her. Blushing as he leaned in to press a heated kiss to her lips, she felt him walking them backwards towards the blanket.

"What is all this?" Lucy whispered against his lips.

"Got something important to tell you." Natsu swallowed the lump in his throat. "I wanted to do this where we wouldn't be interrupted."

Lucy felt her insides looping in excitement at the thought of being completely alone, she let Natsu pull her down onto the blanket beside the fire. Although it was summer, the nights got a little chilly in Magnolia so she was grateful for the warmth. Natsu smiled before leaning in to rest his forehead against hers.

"I had a whole speech planned out and everything but I figured you'd prefer it if I just came out and said it." Natsu chuckled slightly, adoring Lucy's confused look and the way she was gazing up at him with complete and utter trust.

"Luce, I'm in love with you." Natsu locked his warm gaze with hers as she blinked at him several times.

Her gaze turned from surprised, to contemplative, to shock and finally tears welled up in her eyes.

Shit...had he said the wrong thing?

"Oh crap...Lucy please don't cry!" Natsu panicked, pulling away to hold her by the shoulders as tears poured down her beautiful face. "I know I'm probably in way over my head but ever since you bounced into my life with that blond hair, big boobs and sassiness I've been completely hooked...you're so weird sometimes but you're the kindest person I-"

"N-Natsu...shut up." Lucy giggled breathily, wiping her eyes.

The Dragon Slayer was the one to blink owlishly at her this time as she reached up to press a firm kiss to his lips.

"I've been in love with you for ages you idiot..." Lucy smiled up at him.

The shock on his face morphed into a silly grin and she squeaked as he threw his arms around her to pull her into a fierce hug. Lucy returned it and nestled her face into his neck, pressing a heated kiss there.

"Why didn't you say something before?" Natsu chuckled, his heart was fit to burst from the exhilaration coursing through his body at the shock that his beautiful best friend actually returned his feelings.

"You can be a bit dense sometimes." Lucy giggled as Natsu pulled away from her and gazed down at her with a heated look.

"Guess what happened in that swamp finally kicked some sense into me."

Lucy felt arousal pooling in her belly at the feral look in his eyes, she felt herself moaning breathlessly when he leaned in to trail hot kisses against her jawline.

"Must be a Dragon Slayer thing." She replied, tilting her neck to allow him more access, raising a hand to slide into the thick of his hair.

"Hmm...Dragon Slayers know when they find their mate." Natsu admitted. "Even if it took me a while to notice mine was right in front of me."

"Mate?" Lucy pulled back and let her hand trail down to rest against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat pulsing wildly against her palm.

"Yeah...will you be mine...Lucy Heartfilia?" Natsu gazed deeply into her eyes and found no hesitation there among the honey brown.

"I will." She smiled up at him. "I already was, silly."

With that, Natsu surged again his girlfriend, gods it felt to good to finally call her that, so he pressed their lips together desperately, tilting his head to the side to kiss her deeply. Lucy whimpered when he opened his lips to tease his tongue along her lower lip, shuddering as she allowed him in and their tongues slid together playfully.

Natsu felt himself grin mentally as he felt Lucy tugging at the buttons on his dress shirt impatiently, managing to get a few open before he pulled away from her and smirked down at her coyly.

"Geesh...can't wait to get my shirt off can you?"

Lucy huffed at him, before getting to her feet. Natsu felt a jolt hit his stomach as her face morphed from annoyance, to aroused.

He watched, completely mesmerised as Lucy reached back to unbutton the dress, letting the bodice fall, exposing once again that sheer red bra she looked incredible in, his length aching as she then reached to unzip the side of the skirt; the guttural groan of her name shuddered through her as the dress puddled to the floor beneath her long legs. Natsu took in the sight of his stunning girlfriend standing before him in the tiny two piece sheer set and he felt his mouth water.

"I was hoping I could get more than your shirt off." Lucy stepped out of the dress, standing before him in all her half naked glory.

Rising to his knees from the blanket, he pulled her towards him in a daze, letting a slow but deep kiss linger on her lower belly before he trailed kisses down to her core, pausing to press a kiss to the small circle of wetness right around the center.

Lucy moaned breathily, letting one hand to delve into the soft pink spikes at his crown, the other rising to squeeze at her own breast, head tilting back in pleasure, eyes fluttering closed.

Natsu smoothed his warm hands down her thighs before he lifted her leg to hoist it over his shoulder, his eyes briefly drifted up to catch Lucy grasping at her own chest, squeezing desperately as he growled low in his throat and lifted himself to his feet.

Tingles exploded through her as he dipped his head to draw her peaked bud into his mouth, swirling his tongue around and sucking down on it, drawing a high pitched whine from her throat as her fingers swiftly parted his shirt and drew it down his shoulders; tossing it to the side with her discarded dress. Her palms drifted from his pectorals, down to dance across his abs, before latching on to the button of his slacks. Natsu groaned desperately as her deft fingertips parted his zipper and tugged down on his trousers.

"N-Natsu...lay down...please – AH! – let me touch you." Lucy pulled him away from her chest and he gazed down at her foggily before obeying.

Lucy watched him sink to his knees, before laying back on his elbows to drink her in.

A sense of pride shot through him as he watched this beautiful creature crouched down gracefully and crawl on her hands and knees towards him, pushing him down to lay flat against the blanket. He hissed loudly as her lips met his neck, trailing her tongue up and down teasingly against his heated skin. Natsu was glad she had already undone his slacks, because his aching length felt far too tight within the confines of his boxers.

"Hmm..Luce." was all the Dragon Slayer could utter as she lowered her lips to his chest, dropping open mouth kisses around his nipple; a husky moan falling from his throat as she bit gently on it before lathering the bite with her tongue.

Desperately wanting to touch her, Natsu lifted himself up to reach for her, but Lucy shook her head. Kissing her way slowly down his abs, Natsu lay back down and let her continue; her golden locks were tickling down his side as she went, causing him to hiss again.

He felt his eyes widen as her fingertips reached the waistband of his trousers, tugging down on them; that in combination with her tongue on his skin caused his hips to rise towards her, allowing Lucy to drag them and his boxers past his hips and nearly expose his aching length to her, before a feral growl left his throat and he rolled the both of them over.

Lucy blinked up at him in surprise before he crushed his lips to hers, his fingers tugging at her nipples mercilessly, causing her to shriek in pleasure beneath him, her back arch and her toes to curl desperately trying to find a way to ease the pressure building up in her core.

Natsu let her swollen lips go to travel down her body, stopping on the way to quickly undo the ribbon at the nape of her neck and all but rip the flimsy bra from her chest, he dropped to press a quick kiss to each mound before his kisses started a hot and wet trail down her stomach as his tongue traced a path to her lower belly.

"Natsu...p-please!" Lucy begged under him, her hips rising to meet his face as he used his teeth to tug on the waistband of the red underwear, the bows tying it closed temptingly as he let his thumb press into the fabric between her lower lips.

"Tell me what you want, Luce." Natsu murmured as he let his fingertips trail either side of the triangle fabric, looking up at her with his eyes glazed over and a naughty smirk on his face.

"T-Touch me -AHN!" Lucy shrieked as he quickly tugged aside the fabric hiding her center from him and he plunged two fingers into her, his other hand parting her lower lips, groaning when he found her pink and swollen for him. With a dark grin he lowered his mouth to taste her as he let his scorching hot tongue swirl around her bud, sucking it into his mouth and flicking the tip of his tongue back and forth.

His other two fingers moved in and out of her languidly, drawing a series of pants and moaning from her with every thrust.

Lucy felt her eyes squeezing shut at the incredible feeling of his tongue on her in combination with his fingers thrusting within her, she had never felt like this before; a spring was tightening within her, clenching wonderfully as he quickened the pace of his fingers and sucked down on her harder.

It was when Natsu pulled back to desperately unlace the ribbons on either side of her hips and tossed the sodden fabric away to the side did Lucy really feel the pressure tightening in her belly, his free hand lifted her hips slightly into the air as he laid down fully, sucking down on her clit hard and the sound of his fingers thrusting in and out at inhuman speed; his free hand reaching to pull and twist at her nipple, did she finally clamp down on his fingers and her deafening scream of pleasure call out into the night.

Natsu felt himself growl with pride as he felt her clenching over and over again around his fingers as he felt her topple over the edge under him, her entire body jerking and shuddering as he sucked her clit into his mouth one more time to draw out her pleasure; slowing his thrusting to a gentle pace, before stopping when her body went completely lax and with a moan she pulled away from him.

With a heady grin, the Dragon Slayer removed his fingers and dropped a heated kiss to her lower belly, drawing back to look down at her. Lucy looked beautiful all sweaty and satiated as she panted harshly below him. He reached down to pull her droopy body into his arms and her head fell into the crook of his neck as she tried to slow her breathing.

"You ok?" he murmured teasingly as she pulled back to look up at him, a sense accomplishment flowing through him as he took in her blissful face and her smile.

"Mhm." Lucy whispered, dropping a quick kiss to his lips as she slowly came to her senses, then did something that would be forever burned into his mind as the hottest thing he had ever seen Lucy Heartfilia do.

Natsu watched in a daze as Lucy took the fingers that were coated in her juices and pulled them into her warm mouth, swirling her tongue around his digits and lapping them clean. With a whine of longing and completely at her mercy, Lucy removed his finger from her mouth and pushed him down to lay back against the blanket.

Oh holy hell, Lucy could do whatever the heck she wanted to him after that, he was completely enchanted as she straddled his hips, he was utterly and completely hers to do whatever she desired.

Lucy set a slow and steady pace against his lower belly, his hard length twitching helplessly as he felt the wetness between her thighs scattering on the skin of his lower abdomen as she rubbed herself against him. When his hips bucked up into hers, Natsu grasped at her naked hips, slowing her movements.

"Luce...trousers." he barely managed to get those two words out but he could tell from the way her eyes darkened that she understood.

He wanted her attention down there.

A jolt of need shot through her and she sat back on her knees, smiling down at him coyly as she tugged swiftly down on his trousers, wasting no time by pulling his boxers down to free his arousal, her eyes widening slightly as she took in the way his shaft stood at attention for her, he was big; not too big that she didn't think she could handle him but she was impressed all the same.

So she rewarded him by leaning over to swipe her tongue across the head, feeling him twitch under her ministrations. His eyes were wild and incredibly aroused and he gasped as she took the head of him fully into her mouth and sucked on him, drawing a guttural moan from his throat as his head jolted back into the blanket. One hand fisted tightly into the blanket and the other fisted into her hair, careful not to pull too tightly in case he hurt her.

When she moaned however, the sound vibrating through his length and causing him to whine; he figured she actually liked him tugging on her hair, so he did. Lucy rewarded him by taking him fully into her hot mouth, dragging the flat of her tongue along the underside of him and pulling back up again.

"F-Faster." Natsu was incredibly impressed he managed to string the letters together to form a word, because any coherent thought seemed to be failing him as he felt her talented mouth taking him in again and again.

Lucy could tell that it wouldn't be long before Natsu completely came apart underneath her, with the way his length was twitching in her mouth, so she took him in fully once more, careful to drag her tongue along him as she slowly released him from her mouth.

Letting him go with a satisfying pop, Lucy leaned back and wiped at her mouth, before he looked up at her in awe.

"Holy shit...Luce that was...fuck. " Natsu sat up as he blabbered and Lucy giggled lustfully, crawling into his lap and threading her arms around his neck and into his hair.

"Natsu, please...I want you." Lucy whimpered, wrapping her legs around his hips, his shaft poking enticingly against her belly.

The two lovers kissed slowly, letting the heat between them simmer to life once again, Natsu pulled away briefly to look up at the beautiful blond.

"You sure?" He asked, eyes darkening. "I won't go easy on you, not after that." He promised darkly.

Lucy blushed with need, grinding their hips together sensuously.

"I want you, Natsu." Natsu shuddered as he felt Lucy raising her hips to line his length up with her entrance, he groaned as he felt the wetness of her core against the head of his shaft. "Make me yours."

With a feral growl, Natsu locked eyes with her and grabbed her hips, bringing her down onto him, his length slipping between her lips as he sheathed himself fully inside of her.

Lucy moaned and her head tilted back in bliss as he pulled her off of him and slammed her back down, rolling their hips together as he felt their hips connect. Natsu snarled and let his teeth sink into her neck as his warm hands moved from her hips to squeeze at her ass as he repeated the motion of pulling her off and slamming her back down.

"H-Harder." Lucy whimpered, ribbons of pleasure shooting through her body and down to her core as he complied with another growl and sped up his pace.

Natsu was squeezing her ass so hard that he knew she would have bruises in the morning as he slammed her down on him repeatedly, loosing himself in the feel of him plunging himself in and out of her hot entrance over and over again as she panted and moaned breathily above him. The sound of their love-making was beginning to get louder as their hips slapped together in unison.

With a hiss, Natsu pushed forwards and laid Lucy down on the blanket, his shaft slipping out of her wetly as he spread her thighs and kneeled before her, pulling her hips up into the air, causing her back to arch in bliss as he held roughly onto her hips and plunged into her once again.

"Ahn! Oh Natsu!" Lucy shrieked as he grunted lowly, pistoning his hips to drive into her relentlessly; the sound of their hips slapping together causing his balls to tighten as she moaned loudly, her hips undulating against his, her head thrashing side to side as he fucked her.

Natsu could feel the sweat falling down his body as he looked down at their joining as he felt her clamping down on him, much harder than she did when his fingers had been inside her and he groaned.

"L-Luce!" he panted, letting out a feral moan as she tightened against his shaft once again. Lucy could feel the burn on her back from the blanket as Natsu pounded against her, her breasts were bouncing wildly but she paid that no mind as she focused on the tightening in her belly began, much stronger than her first orgasm as she felt her toes clenching as the sensation built; her eyes fluttered closed as she whined as she felt Natsu leaning over her body to take a pebbled nipple into his mouth.

Noises exploded from her throat that she didn't know she could make as the pleasure sky rocketed at the added feeling of him suckling on her nub in between thrusts.

"N-Nat...OH!" Natsu grinned as pride shot through him at her babbling. He groaned loudly as he once again stopped his thrusts and pulled her up and into his lap, wrapping her legs round his hips as he held her tightly and began to thrust up into her again, her head fell into his shoulder as her moans got louder at his ear.

Lucy all but collapsed against him in a sweaty and panting mess as she clawed at his back against his thrusts, her body clenching tighter and tighter against his shaft.

Natsu could feel the way his length was twitching helplessly as she clamped down once last time around his thrusts, pounding into her three more times before a loud shriek erupted from her throat and she toppled over the edge completely.

"AHN...NATSU!" Lucy felt the spring tighten so deeply within her than when the pressure did snap, her second orgasm ripped through her like a bolt of electricity, white hot and burning as it scorched her from the inside out, her body freezing for a moment before she jerked helplessly around him. With a shout of her name, Natsu felt the tension in him snap and he stalled underneath her, the feeling of his own orgasm completely new and overwhelming as he felt three long ribbons of his seed shooting into her core as he shuddered against her.

The two lovers collapsed bonelessly against one another and fell sideways into the blanket, both sweaty and letting the incredible feeling of their shared release wash over them completely as they lay entwined around each other.

When her breathing had slowed considerably, Lucy opened her eyes to find a pair of black eyes gazing at her gently, Natsu was watching her with a lazy and satisfied smile on his flushed face, his damp hair was messy and a few strands were sticking to his forehead. Lucy smiled at him looking so at peace and she reached a hand up to push the pink strands away from his forehead so she could place a soft kiss there.

"I love you." Natsu whispered, shifting his chin to press a kiss to her swollen lips and pull her into his arms. The fire had gone out a short time ago and Lucy shivered against him, the sweat cooling on her skin even though she felt warm in Natsu's arms.

"I love you too." Lucy replied with a smile.

"Why don't we go inside and get warmed up?" Natsu yawned sleepily, disentangling himself from Lucy and pulling them to their feet, giggling when she wobbled on shaky legs.

"Wow...I'm going to be impressed if I'm not sore tomorrow after that." Lucy chuckled and grabbed the blanket to wrap around herself as Natsu felt himself grin at her unintentional compliment as he leaned over to pick up their discarded clothes from the ground, giving Lucy a great view of his toned ass as he did so. He turned to his girlfriend and was about to open his mouth to speak when he found her biting her lip and blushing, her eyes darting from his naked body and up to his face guiltily.

"Enjoying the view?" He teased, grinning as he raised an eyebrow at her.

"Very much..." Lucy murmured, stepping towards him. "What are you going to do about it?" she challenged.

Natsu grinned mischievously, lunging towards her and hearing her shriek as he leaned down to pick her up and throw her over his shoulder.

"Natsu, put me down!" Lucy giggled half heartedly as Natsu marched them, completely naked towards his house, kicking the door open and then closing it behind them.

"You're right...when I'm done with you...you won't be able to walk tomorrow."
