midnightstar | DA KIDLETS because i miss them so

Now that the weather was warmer, the kids were no longer so restless (not that they could be too restless with Natsu around to play with) and were eager to go out and on adventures of their own, both with their older sis/bro/not parents and without. Regine was kept busy helping to tend the guild in their absence, though occasionally she got dragged off by the children for adventures, on days that Natsu and Lucy had work to do.

Although lately there'd been a lot of jobs, so Lucy, at least, hadn't had time to spend with the kids quite so much. Which was why she had suggested taking the kids to the beach for fun, sun, fishing, and whatever else they wanted to do. Good plan, yes? Yes! Nev'd been up since the crack of dawn, full of excitement, and vigor, like a tiny fire-less Natsu. Justyne, on the other hand, had slept in a little more. Lucy just had to put a few final touches on her appearance - since her hair had gotten much longer in the last few months. "Twenty jewels say that Neveren will be knocking on the door in five minutes." She called over to Natsu with a grin.

Lucy chuckled softly, "Well, if you don't, I'm just going to keep ambushing you until you do." Oh that mischievous look in his eyes. She mock pouted, "Well if that's how you're going to be.." She grinned, "Then I guess I shouldn't stop." she teased. "But first -" she reached down to pull his hands off of her hips. Not to deny him any contact though, more sliding them up so they rested against her sides. She wouldn't stop him if he moved his hands back though, silly thing that he was. "Stubborn dragon," she teased, relaxing against his body, nuzzling against his lips.

"Oho really? ANd what if That was exactly what I wanted? What then, my queen~" Natsu asked with a smirk before he felt her hands guide his own further up her body but not taking it too far. Her sides would do for the moment though it should have been rather telling that he chose to not tickle her than and there. They had such a good mood going that he really didn't want to ruin it.

"Why how sneaky of you my king~," Lucy giggled. "If that was what you wanted... hrm. I suppose I couldn't disappoint there. But I can be sneaky too~." She giggled.

"Ah..and you made me forget how many kisses I was up to too, shame on you." She leaned against him, "Mm~, now I have to start all over." Though rather than aggressively attacking his throat like before, she proceeded to linger each time she pressed her lips against his skin in a kiss.

"I learned from the best~" Subtlety and cunning was not really his forte and yet Lucy helped him foster both whether intentionally or not. Still he couldn't shake that sense of bliss and absolute happiness she made him feel. Natsu arched under Lucy, feeling her kisses change against him and rather than get him more worked up, they served to soothe and relax him even more.

"Mngh can't say I have a problem with that..."

"I'll take that praise." Lucy giggled, sounding rather smug at it. It still amazed, and amused her how he'd picked up on her subtlety - she shouldn't be surprised though. They picked up on each other's traits so naturally.

Of course each kiss that followed wasn't intended to get him worked up. That would come once he was niiiiiiice and relax, and she could ambush him like she 'threatened' to. He'd never see it coming! Also if she'd kept assaulting him like she had been she would have been entirely too tempted to just molest him~! Kyaa kyaa.

He probably wouldn't mind though. Besides, cuddling against him and getting him relaxed was delightful too.

You should because that's what it is~" He answered just as smugly. Natu's hands slowly slid down Lucy's body but not away from her instead pulling her in and keeping her glued to him while he instinctively exposed more of his neck for her to assault. One fire dragon completely tamed coming right up.

As if she wanted to part from him - though his actions did press her closer to his body. She delighted in the feel of him under her, nuzzling closer towards his neck as he so ~~obediently~~ helpfully allowed her more room to give attention. "Mmm, Natsu..." She sighed in a soft purr, "You really spoil me too much.."

Not that she was complaining. For every gesture that 'spoiled' her, she spoiled him right back, slowly kissing her way down his chin to his throat, and rather than nip or bite, she let her tongue brush against his skin in between kisses.

"Spoil you? You're the one having her way on top of me." Natsu pointed out with a breathy chuckle still before a lout guttural groan of absolute pleasure filled the room. His hands started roaming restlessly along Lucy's spine, giving himself completely to her exploring lips.

"Mmhmm," Lucy wasn't about to deny that, giggling softly, her amusement purring into a soft sigh feeling his hands roaming over her skin, her body shifting a little restlessly. "No complaining, right?" she teased, placing a series of kisses over his neck.

"After all, it's your fault," she pointed out, "Leaving such an enticing banquet, with no fat for me...I can't resist taking advantage of something like that..." She nuzzled under his ear, "And it's not often I get you like this. I have to take advantage when I can." Like now, when she seizes an opportunity to give him a sudden, hard bite with a series of sharper nibbles right where she knew he was sensitive.

That noise. That delectable noise that messed with his head. It was too much to resist so he didn't. Natsu moved his hand up along Lucy's back and lightly cradled the back of her head pulling her in closer still. She didn't get to do this often? Well that would change if this precedent was anything to go by.

"And just mmmnngh how do you plan on taking advantage of it~? Tell me everything~"

Just the act of pulling her closer was enough to get her to let out another soft purr of his name, Pressing her body against his, she nuzzled against his throat, smiling at the question. "How? With my feminine wiles," she giggled, "Or...maybe I'll just pounce on you when you're not looking." She suggested, "...Although I wonder if I really should tell you everything." She mused, "You might be ready for it then." She freed a hand up in order to brush her fingers through his hair. Gosh she loved that fluffy hair.

"I like the sound of pouncing~ If it's you this dragon wouldn't mind being pounced and eaten up by this ravenous queen who put a spell on him~" Natsu growled back before she decided to play coy and back out of revealing her nefarious schemes.

"Mmmm so you think you wouldn't be able to bring me down if it isn't a surprise do you?" Oh yes he went there.

"Oh? I thought you might," He always did coax her into being more wild and unrestrained after all. She shifted a little, scoffing a little laugh. "You talk like I'm the only one to cast a spell," she grinned, "You cast a spell on me when we first met, you know. I couldn't stay away from you if I wanted to."

Wat. Did... did he just GO there!? ". . . Ohhh, I could bring you down if it wasn't a surprise." She said, smirking at him. "I brought you down this far, didn't I?" It hadn't been a pounce, but it had been kind of spontaneous~!

"Nah I'm pretty sure the first thing I did when we met was BREAK a spell." Oh he remembered alright. That damn fake salamander with his charm spell that for some reason had a weaker hold on Lucy than any of the other girls. AFter all his blundering onto the scene shattered it like glass. But only for Lucy.

"You did but I wasn't expecting you. Surely if I expect you coming on to me like this you wouldn't have such an easy time~" Oh yes he was still taunting her.

Lucy grinned, "Yeah, and I couldn't be more thankful for that." She hadn't even thought about it at the time, how strange it was that he broke the charm spell so easily for her, but the others didn't come to their senses too.

She paused at the taunting, letting out a soft huff. "Ohhhh, is that so? You really think you can resist if I came on to you like this? Just because you'd be expecting it?" HAh. HAH She says. "Maybe we should put that to a test."

"I'd do it again and again for as many times as it would take if I had a choice." Natsu answered solemnly, leaning up to press his lips to the back of one ear while his fingers danced over Lucy's spine before pulling back at her huff.

"Maybe we should~" It was funny how she hadn't caught on that he'd ended up manipulating her subtly like this. Or maybe she just didn't see his true motive behind it all.

Lucy smiled softly, "I know you would, too." She said, leaning against him and humming happily at his touch.

Of course she had suspected he was deliberately taunting her. However, she didn't know about his true motive, never would have dreamed it.

"Ohoo? Okay then." She grinned, "Then when do you suggest we try this 'test'? I think it'd be unfair for me to do it now." Well, unless she left him alone to calm down and relax for a bit anyway. If it was tomorrow, she'd have to ask Regina to keep the kids occupied.

Natsu smirked as she hummed into his embrace like that. She was making it so hard to keep his hands still or in any remotely proper place. Lucy was blessed with such alluring curves after all.

"When hmmm? How about tomorrow morning. A special morning ritual just for you and me~"

Well now he knew how she felt! It was always hard not to snuggle up against him when she was close to him. Nevermind she'd much rather sit in his lap than on a chair.

"Ritual hummm?" She grinned, "Doesn't that imply that we'd have this ritual every morning?" She shook her head, "Not that I have any problem with that. It's pulling away from you that'd be the problem."

Like teaching him how she felt would ever stop Natsu from being Natsu along with all of those delightful temptations that came with the genuine article.

"It would yeah? I already know it's something you like the sound of, My Queen of the stars?"

Nothing could ever stop Natsu from being Natsu. "Queen of the Stars hmm?" She grinned softly, "The titles you give me get more and more lofty, my Dragon King."

She giggled, pulling away and gently tracing her hand over the marks she left on his throat. "But of course I like the sound of it. I'd be able to spend extra time being close to you every morning."

"And yet it's still not good enough for you. I don't think there's words great enough to say how amazing you are in my life~" Natsu flashed her that winning grin of his own before trembling at the touch of her fingertips on his neck.

"Well then that makes two of us. I never feel like i have enough time alone with you~"

"So you say," Lucy chuckled, "I don't need fancy titles. Just hearing you say my name is more precious than gold." Wow, laying the cheese on thick are we Luce? She made a face at herself.

"And think, all these times I'd say words like that were cheesy, and yet... it just seems right when it's with you too." She chuckled, softening at the sight of that winning grin, her fingers continuing to idly brush against his skin, from one side of his neck to the other.

"I feel the same way. It's funny, as much time as we spend around each other, you'd think we'd be sick of each other." Most other couples would probably be at each other's throats if they were around each other as much as Lucy and Natsu were!

"Well you're the writer. You'd think cheesy is something you're used to~" Natsu teased with a cheeky smirk before it softened into that smile that could melt her so easily.

"But then it's the same for me really. And It's even stranger for me to say these things~" Natsu pointed out before tightening his hold on Lucy's body a little more.

"Sick of you? That's impossible and you know it."

"Maybe, but I try to at least make most of my novels cheese-free." She grinned, leaning into him, instantly melting at that smile. Like melted cheese.

"You've always let your actions do the talking for you," she chuckled. It was a little strange hearing him call her things like that - but she kind of liked it too.

"I was just saying as an example," she laughed softly, nuzzling against his shoulder, "You couldn't be sick of me any more than I could ever be sick of you." That much was obvious even before they became a couple, considering how much she let him hang around her, and get away with!
