midnightstar | Happy Holidays Charlie Brown! .. oh wait wrong canon

She made a muffled squeak of surprise when he lifted her up, but she didn't break the kiss any. If anything, she held him tighter, leaning into the kiss. Her legs, purely on instinct, shifted to wrap around his waist, ankles crossing behind his back as he carried her away from the door. Once she needed air again, she brought her lips away from his, taking a deep breath.
She definitely could never get enough of him.

Oh he liked that sensation very much. To know he was the only thing supporting her against him right now. To know she entrusted herself to him like this knowing full well he'd never let her fall. Well unless the bed was under her. Then he might just drop her to hear her squeak in surprise again. As it were he kept the kiss going for as long as she let him. When finally she managed to pull away he actually just lightly touched his forehead to Lucy's and watched her with such a radiant and content smile.

Her trust in him was absolute, after all. Although she wouldn't be surprised if he did drop her on the bed. In any case, if she didn't need to breath now and then she'd never break away from him. It was probably the best incentive for her to practice her breathing techniques, being able to kiss him for a longer period of time each time. She'd laugh at that to herself, but she didn't want to break the mood between them.

Feeling his forehead against hers was like wrapping herself in a blanket of the warmth that was natural to him. And that smile.. she loved it as much as his other smiles, be they mischievous, happy or confident. That warmed her up on the inside just as much, knowing he was so happy, and she gave him a radiant, adoring smile of her own in response, brushing her hand against the back of his head gently.

It had been like that for a while. After all would anyone throw themselves off of a tall tower with no palpable guarantee someone would be there to catch her? No. It was probably that point where it all really started taking shape between them. After all at the time he had been determined to charge right back into Phantom Lord's HQ and destroy everyone in there. But seeing her cry the way she did, that just derailed that thought completely.

But those were darker times and well in the past. This. This right here was better than any heaven in any world. Natsu smiled and lightly tilted his head to nuzzle at Lucy's cheek and then her neck.

"I just can't get enough of that look on your face you know~"

That was definitely the definitive point between them. Feeling him nuzzle against her, she made a faint purring noise herself, nuzzling back against him. "Hm?" She grinned, glancing towards him. "Is that so? Well good, because I'm never going to stop making it with you." She nuzzled under his chin with a sigh of contentment. "And there are plenty of things I can't get enough of with you too, while we're on the subject."

That noise was very dangerous. It made him want to hear it even more and something told him Lucy would have no problem complying. And she didn't given her words and that nuzzling he felt right under his chin making him chuckle.

"Oh really~ Tell me more~"

If he kept nuzzling against her like that, chances were she would be making that noise more often. Smiling to herself at the sound of his chuckle, she pondered his request. "Hm... I could, but that ego of yours..." She teased, "I don't know, should I really give you more reason to be smug?"

If she wanted more nuzzling he could comply. Just like he was doing right now, even teasing her skin with his breathing while she answered.

"Hmmm so you'd want me to try and not act smug in exchange?" Oh he's starting to catch on fast isn't he?

He -is- catching on fast. The fact actually made her grin even more - even if that meant she wouldn't be able to trick him as easily. Those continued nuzzles though, even that teasing feel of his breath on her skin - she shivered slightly, humming a soft purr that turned into a chuckle at the question. "Is something like that even possible?"

Well he might let her trick him. After all the loss wasn't always unpleasant. If someone had to best him he'd prefer it to be Lucy.

"Well I can try~ If the prize is good enough." Yes he was pretty much telling her she can bribe him. Not like he had to. Really.

Lucy stifled a laugh. Oh bribery hm? "Oh, really - well I'll have to think of a really good prize." She murmured, leaning in against him as if she was going to pull him into another kiss. Well, almost, since she stopped a short distance away from committing to the act. "Prizes... it's a little hard to pick something that I don't do for you already, you know." Almost impossible, really. HRMM. "I might have to think about this one." Yeah she definitely sounds amused.

"You're the writer. I'm sure you've got plenty of ideas for prizes swimming around inside that head of yours~" Natsu managed to get out as she leaned in close...only to stop so tortuously short of actually sealing the deal.

"Well maybe getting comfortable will help come up with something~" he proposed, wanting to get her in bed sooner rather than later.

She grinned impishly, "Oh I have plenty of ideas," she purred. "Deciding on one is the hard part." She even pretended to consider the proposal for a few seconds, "Mm, well I'm pretty comfortable like this." She teased. Heck, she was pretty much clinging to him like a koala while he was holding her in his arms like that. "But we can always be more comfortable." She added, leaning in the rest of the way to treat him with a few light kisses.

That grin. Oh how he loved to see that grin too. Natsu met her kiss for kiss, even managing to steal a few extra without her intention. Two could play the teasing game after all.

"Mhmmm and I know just the way" Natsu said between kisses before carrying his KoalaLucy over to the bed he so adored all this time.

His stealing a kiss in between was like a delightful little surprise each time. It was almost turning into a game, to see who could sneak in a kiss first, lending more credence to the fact that they were entirely too silly, and unbelievably caught up in each other to find new and different ways to entertain each other and enjoy each other all around. She nuzzled into another kiss, chuckling, "Oh you do, hmm..? You've got my interest." says the Lucy-Koala.

"As if I don't always. Think I never notice you watching me all the time, my queen?" Natsu growled, more mischievous than ever as he lowered Lucy onto her back on the bed with him quickly crawling on top of her to keep the distance between the two of them as small as possible at all times.

He wasn't carrying anymore so she didn't really need to cling to him as tightly as she had before. Still that didn't mean she intended to let him go and from the looks of things, Natsu had the same idea. Distance was their enemy. "Me, watching you?" She echoed with a coy grin. "Maybe a -little-. It's a little egotistical to think I'm watching you -ALL- the time."

Which she is, but if he was going to be mischievous, so was she~!

Natsu chuckle again hearing her teasing counter. Honestly it was quite impressive that she wasn't a flustered mess all over again. After all his open fest was so close to her hands that she could enjoy the chiseled build he had with very little difficulty.

"It would be. It if wasn't true." Totally calling her bluff in full.

It's because she was so caught up in the game of teasing and counterteasing. When she had something to occupy her brain, it was a pretty good defense against the vision before her. As it is, there was a perpetual blush on her cheeks just from him being on top of her.

"And what makes you think it's..." ...she trails off for a second, rethinking that statement. She DOES watch him a great deal. Really could anyone blame her? He's far too wonderful for words, and ever since falling so hard for him she'd stolen constant glances at him. And heaven knew she appreciated his physique very much.

Yes, that same physique that was right now almost flush against her. ...

Oh. Dear. God. Seriously how could anyone in their right mind -not- appreciate that?

"A-anyway, it's obviously an exaggeration..!" Geez Lucy, get more red and you'll be an apple. Get your mind out of the gutter.

So he was doing her a favor with all the back and forth banter. Maybe he'd catch on about that and just simmer down with the teasing she she'd notice him faster. Well either way he was enjoying moments like these regardless.

He picked up on the way she trailed off and couldn't help the smirk spreading on his lips. Those moments where she zoned out like that into her own thoughts were the most telling.

"You don't sound so sure~" She's becoming an apple he really wants to take a bite from. Metaphorically of course.

He moved one hand down to Lucy's side and held her firmly but gently as if to make it even more clear that she was in his grasp with no sign of that ceasing any time soon.

A favor she was quite thankful for! But yes, without that banter she'd be getting much more flustered, much more quickly. Like with that smirk, and that touch that as much said No Escape. Not that she was even thinking of escaping. "S-Sure I'm sure! I'm sure as I could be, for sure..!" Did she say sure too much? His touch was always distracting. "I couldn't be more sure of a thing..!" Uhoh - she's starting babble. Breathe, Lucy, breathe~!

... "Um... w-why do you think I don't sound sure?"

She was making this way to hard to hold back. That babbling for an excuse was just too entertaining and he didn't really feel mean about encouraging it at any time. Oh what's that? Totally not his hand starting to move up and down along her side, keeping the brushes of his fingers light but warm with the promise of more

"Why? Well for one, your face right now~"

He didn't feel mean? He should! It was cruel and inhuman punishment! Well. Not really. Her breath hitches in her throat a little feeling his hand moving along her side, her blush nearly reaching critical mass. "M... My face?" she managed after a moment, "What's .. what's wrong with my face?"

Nope he knows that deep down she loves the teasing and the banter. He can hear the beating of her heart quicken for a moment, the sign of someone being caught with their hand in the cookie jar that only he was privy to.

"Well I could stop and get a mirror to show you. But do you really want me to do that~?"

"No!" Wait. "I-I mean..." erm. What does she mean? "...no." She didn't need to see a mirror to know her face was a darker color than his hair even right now. Just a face full of pinkness and brown eyes. Difficult it might be to think clearly with the way his hand was brushing her side, the last thing she wanted him to do was -stop- doing that. "I...I think I can guess.." Is it hot in here or is it just him?

... oh wait, that's a literal question isn't it?
