Happy Holidays Charlie Brown! .. oh wait wrong canon

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.

And he had no intention of changing that ever. Why would he when she brought so much joy to his life?

He sucked and nibbled on the thumb before she finally pulled it away. The look on his face was anything but repentant as he gazed down at Lucy. He raised one hand and gently placed it over her cheek in return and leaned in even closer.

"Well you can think what you like. I'll still do the same and think you're just that bright with how happy you are right now~"

It would be a dumb move if he ever did. Assuming she would even accept it. "Awwgh - you are so -weird-." She made a face at him, laughing as she managed to free her thumb from his mouth. "-My- weirdo." she added as an afterthought, gazing fondly at him as she covered his hand with hers.

"Well it's impossible to make you think otherwise, especially now. And I wouldn't want to make you think otherwise. Being with you just.. makes me so unbelievably happy I could just burst."

Well she would never have to worry about that. He chuckled fondly when she called him hers. As if that wasn't something he already knew but that didn't mean he didn't love hearing it from her lips.

"Bursting would be a waste. Then I can't make you even happier~" He insisted with a mock frown. It was his goal after all to make her happier than anyone else after all. Even if he hadn't admitted such a cheesy goal to Lucy herself.

"Even happier?" She grinned, finding that mock frown just.. -cute- on him. "Even happier...?" She chuckled softly, moving her hand to the back of his neck to give him a little tug closer to her. "You're going to make me burn up one of these days." She teased.

He wasn't trying for the cute factor but if it got him more of those stroking hands over his neck and in his hair.

"You mean I didn't just now~?" He teased with a chuckled and leaned in to press his lips to Lucy's jaw but only affectionately and nothing else.

She lit up with a blush at the question, "Natsu..!" .. okay he did have a point, after all of that. Although her saying his name hardly was admonishing, but more of an 'oh you scamp' tone. Proven when she chuckled softly, brushing her hand through his hair with a mock put-upon sigh. "Honestly, you really are too much."

He joined her in the chuckling, knowing full well that she wasn't nearly as reprimanding as she should have been. Natsu let out a sound that was very close to purring when her hand started threading through his hair again.

"I could say the same to you. The way you were acting when you were on top of me. You have no idea how hard it was to stay still."

She smiled softly at the near-purring noise, "Hrrm. Really... I wonder how long you would have really held out if I didn't let you see." She grinned, giving his hair a light fluffing with her fingers. "To be honest, I was a bit surprised you managed to hold out for as long as you did."

"I wanted to see how far you'd go. Couldn't risk you stopping now could I?" Matsi amswered with a pointed glance. Natsu turned his lips to press against her other lower jaw still.

"But if you'd gone much longer I would've had you on your back before you knew it."

She chuckled quietly. "Oh, that so?" She playfully scoffs at that statement, "Guess we'll never know." Well, if she pulled that move off on him again maybe. She filed that comment to the back of her head with a grin, letting out a blissful little sigh at the feel of his lips against her lower jaw. "Mm, I feel like I should apologize for all of .. this though." She grinned, looking utterly unapologetic as she brushed her hand over the love bites covering his neck.

"Apologize? Why? I liked it when you were like that. I liked it a lot~" Natsu answered, his voice dipping lower with a purr before returning to its usual chipper tone. He could so naturally transiton between the various states of emotion.

For a second, she's at a loss for words, and not just because her throat was dry. Did he really have to do that thing with his voice like that? She cleared her throat a few times, marveling at that ability of his. "W..well I..kind of got a little carried away. I mean.. just hearing how you were responding it was really hard to stop." She grinned a little more, sheepishly. "I almost didn't."

He totally did, whether on purpose or not. It just came that naturally. Natsu grinned at her's leaning in for another nuzzle against her neck as she confessed how hard it had been to hold back.

"Then maybe next time you shouldn't~"

She chuckled against his ear as he nuzzled against her, tilting her head to nuzzled her nose into his hair briefly. "Maybe I won't. We'll see." Of course she had Plans(tm) that would probably get thrown out the window once she started.

She absently stroked her hand through his hair, almost fascinated by the soft feel in spite of the spiky style. Even his -hair- was a contradiction, who knew?

Natsu chuckled next to her ear this time. Again it was hard to tell if it was an accident. He finally pulled his face away from her neck. He felt very happy with himself.

Their very relationship was a contradiction. Lucy's official taste in men was so far from Natsu's traits that one might even think Lucy might not even have known what her taste actually was.

She often wondered if what he did was intentional to get a reaction out of her, or accidental because it was natural for him to. She'd have to say though, she was completely wrong about what she thought her taste in men was -- at least when it came to looking for princely kind of guys. In fact, thinking more about it, she couldn't help but smile a little more as she watched him. He.. really was perfect for her, and it amazed her it took her so long to see that.

He saw that smile out of the corner of his eye and pulled away so he was facing Lucy properly. "That smile is really unfair you know~ I would do anything for it~" Natsu murmured softly and cupped Lucy's cheek, stroking the corner of her mouth with his thumb before leaning in for another lingering kiss.

His comment on her smile only got her to smile more, "Then you know how I feel around you every day, when you smile at me, or say my name, or hold me in your arms." She murmured back, "I'm completely weak to you.." her hand rested against his side as she smiled into the kiss, leaning into it and utterly melting, almost following after him when he had to break away for air. Her own breathing coming in breathless pants, she licked her lips briefly, her voice barely above a whisper. "It ... maybe we...I mean --" Great he broke her brain.

He didn't need to answer her words, instead choosing to melt with her into that sweet kiss that was filled with so much joy and love. Love aimed at the other and so in tune that it might as well have been a single great emotion.

He gazed into her eyes as she struggled to catch her breath. Her words were faint but with his hearing her heard them loud and clear.

"Anything. Anything you want, Lucy"

Oh god how she could barely think beyond wanting more of those sweet, addicting kisses. Anything she wanted. All she wanted was him. But she stared back into his face, drinking in the sight of the most important person in her world. She smiled softly, her words mostly a faint murmur. ".. Natsu ... you.. I... I can't think straight when you look at me like that.."

Natsu reached out with one hand and tucked some of Lucy's hair behind her ear. His eyes were filled with an adoring flame as he leaned in closer to whisper softly. "Then don't think. Just act~ It's how I learned to deal with this~"

She shivered slightly, because BOY was that tempting, and the look in his eyes was definitely not helping. As he leaned in closer, she reached up with both hands to frame his face between her palms, brushing her lips against his with a light, sweet kiss before she groans faintly. "...I'm not sure that -not- thinking is... is something I should.. do right now.." Heavens knew she just wanted more of the feel of his arms around her, more of his kisses, but with their current state... er.. well. They were still naked for heavens sakes~!

Oh those fleeting kisses were making it quite hard for him too. And then she had to make that noise too. "And why not? I'm just about ready to forget about thinking myself~" So what if they were naked. By now they had no secrets between each other. And Natsu loved that just as much as everything else about their shift in relationship.

It was difficult to stop after the one fleeting kiss - she has to close her eyes, exhaling faintly with the effort. One of them had to have some restraint, right? ... ... right? "Because.." she answered softly. Which clearly explained everything yes?

It was tempting to make her give in but Natsu didn't want to push his luck that much. So instead he decided to give one last long kiss in which he poured his remaining energy and love for the night before pulling away.

"Fine then. But you're not leaving my arms." He murmured cheekily.
