Happy Holidays Charlie Brown! .. oh wait wrong canon

[celestial_wizard]

Christmas and Thanksgiving were going to be difficult holidays for Regina and the kids. They had, for the most part, mended from the deaths of their friends, but this would also be the first Christmas slash Thanksgiving without them. So for that afternoon, she decided to let Natsu distract the kids and the dog for the time being. More than likely they were bundled up and jumping in piles of leaves outside, or begging Natsu for more demonstrations. As for herself, she went to help distract Regine with preparing food. Happily, Regina only took Lucy's bright smile for her natural demeanor and not for any other reasons.

On the other hand, Lucy hadn't been able to stop smiling since the night she and Natsu were.. er.. very intimate together. Assuming she didn't drift off into a dreamy spacey mode when she thought no one was looking. And if she actually saw him, forget it - it took everything she had not to grab him and hold him close. Heck, before that night she had difficulty keeping her eyes off him - it was more so now. SO it was probably for the best that she had something like cooking and entertaining Regine to occupy her attention.

If Regine noticed the way Lucy's conversation chatter kept turning to the topic of Natsu unconsciously, she didn't mention it, though she did seem amused for some reason. Currently the ladies were discussing options for the dinner - the kids wanted to start eating spicier food to - obviously - be more like Natsu after all.

Oh lord he learned a new thing on egging her on. Well that was okay. At the second growl, she responded by pressing her nails against his back, tugging her tongue back briefly to nip his lower lip uttering a growly noise herself. Squirming slightly at his touch, she shifted her leg slightly, brushing it against the side of his leg, using it in a similar way to the hand rubbing over his back, breaking the kiss for a second to purr his name affectionately.

[explodewiththerage]

Oh the nails now too? Oh Mavis how he loved it when she started leaving her own mark on him like that. The surprises never stopped though as she let out her own growl like sound. Natsu actually looked down with wide eyes before quickly deciding he loved that sound as well~

"Mmmmm You're starting to really get fired up when you talk like that~"

[celestial_wizard]

Growling was definitely better suited to him, but sometimes she just had to respond in kind. She chuckled softly, kissing him before responding. "Mmm, well that's all your fault, getting me fired up like this." She murmured silkily. "There's no going back now." Even if he had any intention of stopping, the only thing that would make her stop now would be a dire emergency like a guild attack or the children screaming or something.

[explodewiththerage]

Suited yes but that didn't mean it didn't make her even more irresistible in Natsu's eyes. Then again he already has a hard time keeping his hands off of her. "Oh yeah? Well I'm not gonna say I'm sorry. Not when you look so hot I could eat you up right now. As if I'd even dream of going back~"

[celestial_wizard]

She was in the same boat, when it came to having a hard time keeping her hands off of him. "Mmm, I guess I can't argue that point," she chuckled softly. "I'd only follow you anyway,.. because I just can't keep my hands off of you." She fairly growled that part, leaning up for a sneak attack on his neck while dragging her nails up his back.

[explodewiththerage]

Then don't. Every part of me belongs to you. Every single part~ Just like every juicy bit of you is mine too~" It was a mutual ownership of the other. A very fair arrangement in Natsu's head anyway.

"Take off my vest. I know it's in your way~" Not really an order but given her state the suggestion might as well have been one.

[celestial_wizard]

She'd have to agree, that arrangement couldn't be more perfect. And it was true, every part of her did belong to him, body and soul. His suggestion - or order - in all likelihood it could have been either. She shifted her arms to push his vest off of him in order to let her hands feel the front of his body as well as the back. "Hmm... I've been yours since the day I met you." Maaaaybe a little later than. But she nuzzled her lips against his neck, treating him to a love bite or two before adding on to that. "..I don't know how I never saw it sooner."

[explodewiththerage]

He loved the free reign Lucy had over his chest and torso. Just feeling those wandering hands was enough to light his fire even brighter than before. Only she could make him burn like this to the point where the sun might as well have been a snowball compared to his desire.

"I think you might have had a hunch. After all you did dress up all nice that one time I asked you to meet me at the tree." Oh yes now that they were here, he'd put together the true meaning of that whole mess as well as why she slapped him.

[celestial_wizard]

"Mm..yeah, I guess. But Mira said it first, that she thought you had a crush on me." She wouldn't have gotten dolled up just based on Mira's words, after all. ... no need to mention she had considered not wearing underwear, no nooo. Wandering hands continued to wander, appreciating his physique more now than ever.

"Except when you said you just wanted me to summon Virgo ... I assumed I was wrong, and Mira was wrong." She's not going to bring up Mira suggesting -Gray- liked her either, thanks. That'd kill the mood faster than anything else, and she was rather enjoying the shared attention.

"And ever since then..." She nuzzled against his neck, "Well.. you know the rest." All the time she tried to pretend her feelings for him were anything but, only to slip up now and again.

[explodewiththerage]

"Well back then it was still all about how fun it was to spend time with you. And Virgo would've been great help." He didn't hold a grudge over the slap or anything either. Even before he figured out why he received it in the first place.

He nipped on her collar line down to Lucy's shoulder while his just as eager hands explored Lucy's body as she moved under him. Every soft bit, every delicious curve. She was absolutely perfect in his eyes both outside and within. A treasure fitting of this dragon indeed.

"Yeah I know the story alright. Lived it after all~"

[celestial_wizard]

She squirmed with that nip, involuntarily rewarding him with another soft purr, "Mmm, you did. We both did." She tilted her head, nipping his throat, before pressing her lips against the skin. "All of that time back home, and in that other world..and here.." She grinned faintly. "Still worth the wait."

MORE than worth it, even with the confusion and frustration. Took them over a year and two worlds to acknowledge those feelings. She slid her arms up his back, and giggled a little, giving a playful little growl as she nipped his ear.

[explodewiththerage]

She was starting to get better at keeping up with his style it seemed. Her own nip was rewarded with another growl while his hand found the curve of her hip and lingered there as his lips were replaced by teeth as he tugged her top of the way so he would have more skin to work with.

"Couldn't agree more. Honestly the fact that it took them this long to reach this conclusion was an achievment in of itself as well as a test of their feelings seeing as they did not diminish in the least for either of them.

[celestial_wizard]

If anything, their feelings grew that much stronger. It was only a matter of time before she was able to keep up with those longer kisses without breaking for air too. But since discovering she didn't need to hold back quite so much when it came to nips and bites, she wasn't as cautious about it. That being said she did squeak a little when he used his teeth to tug her top out of the way. That was different. Not in any bad way mind, just different. Still she smiled, shifting under him with her hips pressing against him briefly as she hooked her leg behind his, as if she were using it to keep him in place. "Glad you think so," she purred, running a hand up his side and pressing a kiss to his shoulder.

[explodewiththerage]

That surprised noise she let out. That was all he needed to know he'd found another way to surprise her. Still he didn't think he'd be doing that too often. Maybe make it a sort of treat whenever she managed to work him up this badly. He could certainly embrace that slightly more beast like trait he could call upon.

"Mmmmm god you're just...you can drive me wild so easily Lucy~" Natsu growled out after managing to tear his lips away from her smooth skin for a moment.

[celestial_wizard]

She shuddered at the feeling of his lips against her skin, her fingers scratching his back, "Nng...I... I could say the same about... about you..." She gasped, reaching down to cup his face, nuzzling her lips against his. "Everything about you - getting me fired up like this.." she purred, leaning in to capture his lips with hers again, this time the one to brush her tongue against his lips to steal his breath away. Or, well, try.

[explodewiththerage]

Scratches were fine. They were more than fine. Natsu paused for a moment when she held his face in place only to tease him with the promise of a kiss as she spoke. Luckily that promise was kept once she was done talking moment when Natsu gladly pressed into her even more. Feeling her tongue trying to find entry, his lips curved into a faint smirk before they parted for her.

[celestial_wizard]

As entertaining as it was to tease him with a kiss and not follow through, it had been too long since the last time they kissed. It was all of ten minutes. Feeling that smirk, she muffled a soft chuckle against his mouth before his lips parted. She nipped his lower lip slightly, her tongue slipping into his mouth with a more aggressive kiss as her arms tightened around him.

[explodewiththerage]

He loved that aggressive streak she had deep down behind the flaily nature she had on the surface. Natsu's hands resumed their exploration of Lucy's body though they were blatantly starting to snag and tug at the rest of her clothes, revealing as much as he could without actually looking, using only touch to figure out he'd shifted enough of the material out of the way.

[celestial_wizard]

He did have a tendency to draw it out of her, along with her possessive streak. Feeling his hands explore more, she squirmed occasionally under him, whenever he touched a particularly sensitive part of her body, her fingers digging into his skin to encourage him - - not ... that he even -needed- encouragement. But she knew he liked to feel her nails too, so it worked both ways, as she kept the kiss going, her tongue wrestling against his, occassionately tugging it out of the way just to tease him.

[explodewiththerage]

And he relished that power far too much than he should. Then again they both benefited from it in the end so neither could really complain. A faint teasingly frustrated growl started slipping out from between their joined lips as her tongue started playing hard to get with his, making his hands falter from time to time as if to try and distract her long enough for him to get the upper hand.

[celestial_wizard]

His reaction to her teasing was met with a muffled chuckle within the kiss; though his distraction technique was successful, usually. In hindsight she found herself occasionaly amused the way they traded aggression back and forth in things like this. Though she needed air, she didn't pull back so much as break the kiss briefly to pant for air. "Mmg.. gods.. Natsu," she managed, unable to keep from kissing him again, "..why are you so addicting.." Not that she really expects him to have an answer for that. He might not have a chance to anyway, the way she spoke in between kisses.

[explodewiththerage]

The fact that she could barely keep her lips off of his long enough to try and speak was more flattering than any romantic commentary they could have had. Natsu groaned outright this time because dammit he wanted to claim those lips outright now. He would settle in the end for starting to consciously work her top off completely, evening the odds a bit more and giving them both more of that delicious contact there were so dire in need of.

[celestial_wizard]

In due time, surely. She grinned at the sound of the groan, trailing her kisses to different parts of his face and neck, letting her lips drift close enough to his skin to let him guess where her lips would touch. Or try to guess, since once in a while she picked a less obvious spot. Of course in her eagerness to help him work her top off, it didn't occur to her she'd have to pull it over her head. Meaning she'd have to stop kissing him for a second.

[explodewiththerage]

This was why he sometimes was tempted to just burn her clothes off. Less hassle and wasted time getting undressed. But it wasn't worth angering Lucy to that extent. Oh well it was worth those few moments apart. He attacked her neck all over again with kisses and nips before an odd idea suddenly struck Natsu.

"I have an idea I wanna try out with you~" Natsu purred into Lucy's ear. "One you are definitely gonna like."

[celestial_wizard]

SHe'd protest that it wasn't fair to attack her neck while she was in the middle of pulling her shirt over her head..if she wasn't groaning happily at it. And if she didn't remember that they were playing the 'no playing fair' game. Finally managing to tug it over her head, her breathing raspy from his assault, she cast a feverish glance at him. "What..? What idea..?" She was all for it if he was certain she'd like it - and he knew her tastes perfectly by now. She set her shirt aside.

"Wait.. surprise me." It might be risky to tell him to just try this idea without knowing what it was, but she trusted him. If he said she'd like it, she'd believe it.
