Natsu wouldn't care if they believed her or not. All he needed was for Lucy to remember it, to love it and anticipate it. That was all this dragon wanted from his princess. Well at least when it came to moments not spent in bed.

It was indeed a cycle that only had pauses from time to time but never truly died out. Natsu still acted on only a minority of those times when he actually found her alluring. Having the closest thing to kids also limited those opportunities but then that made these moments that much more precious. Moments when they could just indulge in one another to their hearts content.

"Ngh! Lucy! Lucyyy~" He grunted, apparently managing to find his one word much easier than his beloved Celestial mage.
