midnightstar | 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.

She earned that right to chuckle with how completely under her spell he was to the point that he couldn't decide what to do with her first. His drive and hunger for her was simply that great and that urgent after all. Still when he saw the skirt start to slide off her hips, his eyes tracked the path as it slid off of Lucy's body, leaving behind the prize this had all been building up towards.

The proverbial ball was in his court - or at least she'd say that, but even that brief lack of contact was too much for her, and she tossed her skirt to the side, landing - ... somewhere, she didn't know or care. Moving forward a little to his side, she curled her arms around him again, pressing her body against his, her lips tracing a path over his Fairy Tail mark, across his shoulder, up his neck to his jaw and concluding its lingering journey at his lips, savoring each taste as he had.

That disregard about where she threw her discarded clothes certainly appealed to Natsu. THough now he was the one in the way of their union. Natsu worked his pants off wiht one hand while pulling Lucy back in close with his other. He felt those warm soft lips pressing against his mark and was filled with a swell of utter joy and affection.

Eventually after much struggling, his pants came off and with it so did his black and flame patterned boxers.

Throughout those struggles, poor Lucy didn't lift a finger to help! How cruel! No, instead she giggled at him,though fortunately she didn't bite him while he was in the midst of his struggles this time. Once he'd managed to get the rest of his clothing off, she didn't immediately jump him, so to speak. As much as she'd told him she wanted him to claim her, rushing was never their style. Which is why she shifted to sit on his lap again, that most intimate part of him between them as she whispered words of adoration and endearment in between lingering kisses.

He was certainly thankful for the lack of distractions this time. He had plenty enough to contend with because of his own impatience so having her distract him with even more pleasure would've grinded his progress to a complete halt and then neither of them would get what they want. Well Lucy would likely take pleasure in her power over him. Not that he didn't make it abundantly clear already.

"Mmmm you're getting me way too fired up you know~" Natsu all but purred, rocking his hips forward a little bit with a chuckle, the playful nature mixing in with the overwhelming desire to be with the girl who had become an integral part of his life.

She held him closer at the response, groaning slightly at the feel of his hiops rocking forward. Her own rolled forward with him, the lack of layers between them sensing a world of pleasureable sensations through her. She couldn't help but respond to him though, with a playful grin of her own, "You say that like it's a bad thing," she grinned, pressing her kisses against his skin. "I can't very well let your fire go out now can I?" she added mischievously as she nuzzled against his jaw and nipped his throat, grinding her hips slightly forward. As if his fire going out would ever really be a thing.

With her by his side? His fire was about as eternal as that of the sun. Natsu's body was betraying him more and more, giving away how worked up he'd actually gotten with all of their messing about with one another. It was such a puzzling thing. They were both as bare as they could be, Natsu had even discarded his scarf near the bedside in case he got any ideas involving it. A few had passed his mind during the day but now all he could focus on was that alluring heat Lucy was emanating in his lap and those delicious undulating motions that sent ripples of sheer delight coursing through his body from head to toe.

"YOu know that'll never happen. You make sure of it every day~"

Natsu with ideas was about as dangerous as Lucy with ideas - well...maybe more so. But the way her hands were working over his back, she was getting just as worked up as he was, that motion of her hips shifting in his lap more frequently. With his scarf probably the one article of clothing not thrown on the floor - with the exception of her shirt - she couldn't get the idea of touching him out of her head. She wasn't sure if she was this consumed by her need from him the last time - but wouldn't surprise her if her level of affection had grown even more with him.

"Absolutely," she grinned, nipping his collar bone, placing kisses against his bare throat with her words. "S'my job as your ..." A pause as she considered terminology. Leave it to her to have the weirdest questions in the middle of this kind of thing. "..girlfriend. Or would you rather 'lover'... or 'mate'...?" Partner? What DO you call a celestial wizard and a dragon slayer who are in an intimate relationship? (In before 'Perfection'). She gives his neck a teasing bite, nibbling the skin firmly as she shifted her position on his lap to get just a little more space between them - just enough to let that part of him to slip in before the both of them went crazy. ... well, more so,

Well he had the unpredictable ideas while she had the imaginative ones. A perfect combination when the two met the way they did. Natsu let out a rumbling groan as she continued to move against him. He was quite impressed she could still think about proper terminology at a time like this.

"Pretty sure you're every single one of those things. Though I guess I'm mmmmm leaning more towards lover and mate~' A good thing he got that thought out before she bit at his neck again only for him to feel her warmth moving off of him a little. But then he felt it. Felt that heat and its source straying closer to his length. One small shift of his hips and he'd be inside her, joined in that delicious way that had quickly become his most favorite way to be with Lucy outside of every day adventures.

She could be terribly random when it came to that kind of thing. But it was a good thing that the thought did get out since she wasn't going to be able to form much proper thought in a few moments. She chuckled softly at his response. Lover and mate, huh? She could live with that - that and every term that related to it. "Mmm, works for me," she purred, leaning her head up with a happy smile as she pulled him closer into a kiss, uttering a soft purr as he shifted his hips to join with her. She'd have to agree, it was definitely her favorite way to spend time with him - when they were being intimate. Quickly followed by everything they did to build up to this moment, of course.

Everything she did was just so intoxicating. The chuckling, the purrs, the sultry whispers that wormed their way into his head with ease. But nothing could compare to that sensation. That warmth that slowly enveloped his mind and body as he pushed inside of Lucy at last with a low growl that peaked when he finally was sheathed inside of his 'mate' completely.

Oh that growl - why the heck was that sound such a turn on? She utterly trembled against him feeling his length push inside of her, that familiar feeling warming her all over again. With her sitting in his lap like this it was different from the last time they made love - but this time she could keep him in her arms, and she kind of liked it better that way. That warmth that was so close to her, and the feeling of him inside of her could leave her speechless, and did.

She leaned back just enough so she could look at him, the loving warmth and adoration for him in her face and eyes utterly overflowing. One hand she pulled away, letting it brush against his cheek in a gentle caress as she leaned her forehead forward to rest against his, exhaling slowly. The other arm slid behind his shoulders, brushing against his back and up into his hair as she shifted, uttering a soft moan as she slowly rolled her hips forward.

Probably for the same reason he got turned on by her own purrs and whispers. Or maybe the only reason they needed was the fact that it was each other. Either way they finally reached that point they had been building up towards. His breathing deepened and his tone grew even hotter than before. She was speechless but he kept calling out her name from time to time as their bodies moved in unison.

But it wasn't just the voice that did him in. That adoring warmth in her gaze, the light pressure of her head against his own. It made him so happy he felt he might just explode from it all. She was just that strong of an influence. "I...ngh want this a lot more often~"

That was about it. The ultimate reason that they were so ..engrossed in each other, why they got so worked up over some things that were simple as a smile or a touch. It was just them. Her silence didn't last very long once they started moving together, and especially when he uttered her name. And in that tone - dear god, she had no defense against that. Not that she'd really want one. But everytime he uttered her name, she responded to it with his, and if it could be any more loving it would probably explode like an overinflated balloon. "A..ah.. haa.. m.. more often.. how much more often..?" Not that she was against intimacy with him, not even a little. She was just curious. She might as well have said 'yes please as many times as there are days in the calendar'.

She was asking him for specifics. Now of all times when his world had been reduced entirely to Lucy and himself. Natsu's motions slowly gained momentum, his hands locking behind Lucy's back as he thrust up into her, building that delicious friction between their bodies.

"Mnngh I dunno! Maybe at least twice aaaah a week?"

She wasn't even sure WHAT she was asking to be quite honest. It was extremely difficult to think of anything at all, except for the man under her and the feel of him in and around her. "I-I.., Aah...!" She gasped aloud when his motions started to pick up. She'd like to respond to his question, but the only thing coming out of her mouth at this moment were her own moans as she matched his pace, her hold on him tightening and her hand brushing back from his hair to curl into his hair. She'll shelve his answer to address afterwards, panting heavily and tilting her head down slightly to catch his lips against hers for a kiss. She'd almost swear he did that just to get her to stop thinking.

Maybe at the end of the day it didn't matter what she was asking. It couldn't possibly be any more important than that feeling of completion they found in each other now that they'd finally joined in intimacy. Those gasps and moans only added kindling to his inner fire, his hand moving up to the back of Lucy's head as well, threading through her golden strands while he pressed his lips with feverish kisses against her soft throat.

No, it definitely wasn't more important than him. She'd even go so far as to say nothing was more important than he was, especially in this moment. The hand in his hair almost mirrored the feel of his hand in her hair, her chin tilting up slightly with the feel of those kisses that got her to purr so. She only slowed her motions slightly once, to shift her position and fold her legs behind his back, similar to how she had done when he carried her to the bed earlier. It just felt like they were closer that way to her,

With each passing moment she slowly felt more and more like a part of him, an integral half to a previously incomplete soul. She'd been talking about soulmates before. He could certainly see how that term could fit the two of them now. The bliss and euphoria of moving against one another, of filling and building up that mind blowing friction. It was beyond anything Natsu could describe so he did didn't. Instead he dove straight into it, nipping sharply at Lucy's throat again to leave another short term mark as he started going harder after he felt her legs try to lock him in place against her.

It made her happy to know he'd agreed with her opinion with regards to them being soul mates. It only made sense, now that they were this close. But describing the feelings shared between them - she's a writer with a creative imagination and she didn't have the words to properly convey how she felt for him either, or this intimate moment. The few words she could use wouldn't do any of it, or him, justice. Feeling him moving harder, her moans became louder cries, her hand fisting in his hair, clutching the back of his shoulder as she rocked her hips with him, their combined motions making her bounce on his lap slightly, each motion sending that pleasureable sensation through her, unable to think about anything but him.

"Lucy~" Was a word chanted again and again with growing fervor and intensity. Just the way that name rolled off of his tongue. It felt so right. As if he never needed another word ever again. Even if these feelings were only temporary as they were both deep in the throes of passion, they were no less genuine.

"R-Really starting to get into it are we~?" He asked with a teasing purr feeling her bounce in his lap enthusiastically.

She loved the way he said her name. Not just with this, but anytime he called her - the list of the things she loved hearing from him or doing with him was endless though. It'd be harder to try to find something she -didn't- like doing with him, and the list would be shorter. Because there would be nothing on it. "Nng.. N.. Natsu," she echoed back. And he had the audacity to tease her. Well it was no surprise actually, they do it all the time.

She gave a breathless chuckle to his question, nuzzling her cheek against his, "Ah.. I... I told you, re-remember?" She purred back heatedly, "You... drive me so wild I can't stand it.." she shifted slightly, changing the pattern from her enthusiastic bounces in his lap to equally enthusiastic rocking into his hips, alternating the pattern occasionally. "Not... Not that I'm the only one, N.. Natsu~..."

How could he not tease her? She was just such and enticing spectacle that he would do anything to see just how much wilder she could become. Instead she nuzzled up against his cheek like a cat. SHe had a surprising amount of similarities in her body language with a cat. Natsu was growing increasingly convinced of this fact as time passed on.

"Mngh no no you're not the only one. Honestly you make it hard for me not to want you all the time~" Oh he'd just let slip quite the morsel of information and a potential weakness. After all who knew what Lucy would do if she knew he could get so easily distracted with her even when it came to such heated activities.

Oh... Ohoho. OHO, REALLY. That just opened up a whole world of ideas and mischievous plans to drive him even crazier herself. Funny how they were still on the same wavelength of wanting to see just how wild the other could get. "R~eaally~." Oh that tone and breathless, sultry chuckle that followed did not bode well for him for the future. She wouldn't dare say the same back to him though, even if it was so very very true. Dear lord if he caught on that just a certain look or smile or -way- he had about him could have her reacting the same way would be equally dangerous.

Not that it was easy to formulate plans to take advantage of that weakness of his at the moment. She did reward him for letting that little tidbit slip though, by giving a soft growl as she targeted one of the few parts of his neck not marked by her at this point, and proceeding to work on marking him over and over in the same spot with teeth and tongue, her moans muffled against his skin in the process, fingernails pressing lightly against his back.

If she really wanted to dangle herself as bait before this dragon, it was entirely her choice. Natsu wouldn't hesitate to oblige. As long as the kids weren't around. It was kind of amusing in hindsight how even though they'd just become a couple, they were already dealing with problems that parents would have to after their kids stopped being toddlers.

There was one oversight in her branding of his skin with lovebites and the like. Natsu would not be hiding them if not for his scarf which he always wore. So the opportunities for the brands to be revealed were considerably more frequent. Not that it bothered Natsu. If someone asked him to climb up on top of the guild and yell that he loved Lucy, he probably would much to her mortification.

As it stood at the moment however, they both had something more intimate in mind. Something which made Natsu's hand join behind Lucy's back and stop her motions completely while he was buried deep inside of her, only allowing Lucy to roll her hips in a circle rather than that deep ecstatic thrusting from before.
