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'd have to say she rather liked this image before her, even though they weren't as tightly close to each other. But this, now she could see his chest and his face and arms - so much more of him. As he started moving again, her head rocked back slightly with a loud moan, her hands abruptly jerking down to grip the sheets and... and .. were.. were those his lips? His TONGUE? Her leg twitched reflexively at that feel, his name wrenching out of her in the longest - and loudest - moan yet.

That was exactly the kind of reaction he expected, He continued to lick and nibble along her leg as his hips slammed into Lucy's without relenting even a little bit. But the look in his eyes from over her leg was unmistakable. he was making it clear that he was claiming this round as his victory in their little competition. Not allowing him to see her was her mistake that last time. A mistake he was not going to make now.

Those licks and nibbles got her to quiver and gasp, but that look on his face? Oh that look on his face sent a delicious thrill through her, her leg twitching as his relentless assault had her gripping the sheets tighter with a hand, the other reaching back into her hair as she practically howled under him.

Claiming the round as his victory - she couldn't contest that. Couldn't even think straight from the way her body writhed and twitched, the sensation driving her mad with pleasure. "Ghg.. Haa-ah~! oh my g... oh ..g-go..god, yes..! Na~tsu..!" Poor Lucy, her voice was already more than a little hoarse and cracking on the words, but she didn't care. There was no way she could keep quiet with what he was doing anyway.

Oh he was eating every single moment of it. The white knuckled grip on the sheets, the desperate cries and the relentless pounding that only made her breast move with each slam into her. She was perfection in every way and seeing her like this and being the cause of her maddened state was everything he could have ever asked for.

"Nght. Getting even tighter. SO you like it like this too huh?" Natsu growled and actually bit on her calf but not enough to draw blood. On the other hand there would be quite a visible mark there the next day and she wouldn't be able to cover it~

Shame on him, asking her questions when she couldn't form actual human words. With the exception of his name, but even that was barely coherent. "Ng.. gah--ah~a - nnga N..atss-suu..!"

But maybe he wasn't expecting her to answer anyway, the way he seemed to be deliberately driving her wild. Hearing that growl, her leg tugged back in surprise at the bite to her calf, the hand currently fisting the sheets jerking back at the same time, then grabbing hold of the sheets almost desperately, practically clawing at it with need to hold onto something.

She'd hope that no one noticed that little mark on her leg, she's not sure what she would do if they did. Her hair by this point in almost a wild mane the way she kept running a hand through it, her eyes closed both from the pressure of his thrusts and from pleasure as she uttered passionate cries of his name, and loud moans.

Oh no. He wasn't so unreasonable as to expect verbal responses. It was a question meant to work her up even more because of the fact that he knew the answer already and his eyes said as much when he finally finished branding her leg with his mark.

"Ngh! Shit! You're just too sexy like this Lucy." Natsu grunted as he started going even harder and faster. He was getting close. After all of that relentless back and forth teasing he could finally feel the first tingles down his spine heralding his imminent release.

Oh good, because she couldn't give them. But he was certainly successfully working her up even more, as long as they've been doing this today. From the way she was writhing under him and practically shrieking, the short gasps and flushed face - she was getting pretty close herself.

"N..gaaah~! I.... Oh.. NATSU..~! Ha-aah! Y.. You're ... you're goi.. going to make m..me... ghg..~!" She threw her head back against the pillow, squirming with loud moan that sounded positively -primal- as her free hand clawed at the sheets almost desperately.

It was in those final passionate moments that she looked most equisite, hair fanning out over the sheets and hands gripping the sheets for dear life. It was just too much to bear right there at the end. So he let her leg fall over to his side and he positioned himself again between Lucy's legs. He didn't waste a single moment resuming his rhythm though. He wanted to finish with her but he also wanted to see her come undone. To see her face as her entire world was reduced to the whiteness of bliss.

"Ngh can't...hold much more." He warned, grunting and groaning with each wild thrust of his hips.

As he shifted to reposition himself, she wrapped her arms around him, transferring the grip on the sheets to clutch at his back, her nails digging into his skin, "M.. me either..!" In fact, with every wild thrust into her body, it drove her closed to that maddeningly pleasurable moment of utter bliss, sending her right over the edge to her orgasm.

"Nng... I.. oh.. ! N.. Natsu~!! I'm.. I'm going t-!" Another cry more of a hoarse scream as the waves of pleasure shook her body, the blonde mage utterly unraveling completely and helplessly clutching him against her body, gasping for breath with her face flush and rosy.

He hissed and growled in pleasure despite the pricking of her nails in his back. Yes. That was the good kind of pain that reflected just how far he'd pushed LUcy and that knowledge combined with her sudden tightness as Lucy's entire body locked up around him as she climaxed was exactly the final push Natsu needed to reach completion as well.

WIth one final thrust he pushed inside of Lucy as far as he could go before bursting and filling her core with his hot hot seed with a victorious roar of her name.

She shook and twitched throughout her waves of pleasure, feeling Natsu climax and cry out her name in a way she wouldn't soon forget. Her heart racing a mile a minute, her breathing was as heavy as if she'd been running for hours, quite dazed from his performance. It actually took a few seconds before Lucy was able to come down from the blissful high that Natsu had sent her into, and another few seconds still before she could open her eyes and look at her lover and soulmate, let alone speak.

No, all she could do at first was smile a glowingly happy and satisfied smile. The tight hold she'd grabbed him in eased to a gentler one, and she took the moment to simply pet her hand through his hair and over his back. Her other hand cups his cheek - if there was any way she could look at him more lovingly she hadn't found it yet, because the loving look on her face was, while tired from their physical activity, without measure.

They were a few precious moments that stretched on into infinity. A few moments where it truly felt like both himself and Lucy had become one down to their very essence. Natsu lowered his head and his eyes drifted closed as he used whatever strength he had left to keep himself above Lucy and not just flat out laying on top of her.

Which was so utterly rewarded when he saw that smile. The adoration in her eyes. If he had been standing, it would have knocked him flat on his ass, something that many others had tried to achieve by force with him in the past. And she was doing it so easily and effortlessly. He felt her cool hand against his heated skin. He pressed his cheek against that hand and closed his eyes before opening them half way again, showing her another rare expression that only she could bring out of him. And to add to it all he murmured three simple words.

"I...love you."

Those three little words still made her happy, hearing it as much as knowing on an instinctive, emotional level how much he loved her. That one person could make her so radiantly happy, she didn't think it was even possible - but if anyone could, it made sense that he could and not just because they were involved.

It was because he was Natsu, her best friend, her trusted partner in everything. Who knew her best out of everyone. If anything, those three words intensified the loving look on her face, her smile widening, unable to turn off that loving glow even a little. Her thumb stroked against his cheek gently, drinking in the sight of that soft expression she loved so much.

She licked her lips slightly, swallowing as she managed to murmur back in a soft, if hoarse voice, "...I love you more."

He didn't say it just to make her happy though. That was what added to the sentiment even more. Whenever Natsu said something to Lucy those were his honest thoughts and feelings laid bare to her. Unless he was out to prank her. Then he might have bent the truth a little bit but never maliciously. All in the name of fun~

But he would be lying if he didn't absolutely love the way her smile grew just that much more brighter whenever he said those words. She was dazzling to behold, shining brighter than any hoard of gold a dragon could hope for. Feeling that thumb against his cheek, he playfully turned his head to capture that finger between his lips. They'd just shared a mindblowing intimate moment and he still had it in himself to play with her.

"You gotta. I mean you're bright enough to turn this place from night to day right now~'

Yes, well, pranks were always a free pass when it came to bending the truth and teasing each other. But she always loved how honest he was, knowing how sincere he was when he spoke, and not just saying things in the heat of the moment. That was how he was. An.....d... what is he doing. Lucy giggled silently when he caught her thumb, giving it a little wiggle, playfully. Typical that she would still play with him even after how much they'd been through from today alone. "Heee, I do - but... I think you're exaggerating a little there." She teased. Well, how much she loved him, and vice versa, probably couldn't be measured in any kind of amount anyway. Not that it mattered.

Natsu playfully sucked on the thumb when she wiggled it tantalizingly like that. Even though they'd just finished they still had enough energy left to play like this. Silly little games as they were, they also brought them even closer. If that was even possible.

"I don't think I am. I could get a mirror if you don't believe me~"

It had to be possible, since each time they got closer they just found new ways to adore each other. It was an endless cycle of pure happiness.

She squealed when he sucked on her thumb, breaking into soft giggles, "Stop that~!" She teased, tugging on her hand playfully. "I think you are exaggerating," she paused, just in case he did make good on that 'threat', "And no mirror." She grinned, sticking her tongue out at him.

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."
