"Well whatcha gonna do about it~?" Natsu asked looking mighty unapologetic about everything he'd done. Almost as if to taunt her to try and get back at him right now.

Oh he can have his unapologetic smirks - she /grins/ right on back at him, shaking her head. Ohhh no you aren't going to lure her into making a mistake this time. "Fufufu... Oh I have a few ideas I can get a little creative with." Maybe she's gonna put itching powder on your side of the bed! Or cover you with all the blankets and pillows in a weird twist of the Princess and the Pea~! It's not something she was going to attack him with right this moment.

"Hah! I wonder if you can prove it. Would be a shame if you couldn't live up to what you wanted of me~" Natsu was certainly not above teasing his beloved queen endlessly.

Lucy grinned, reaching over to nab his scarf and tug it up over his face. "My dear dragon, you should know by now that I *ALWAYS* live up to what I want of you."

Asuka glanced at the two, then over at the kids, both who rolled their eyes with silent, 'Adults Flirting and being GROSS again' looks.

Asuka hopped off of the fluffy wool, "Come on, let's play something else~!" giving the adults a bit of a reprieve.

Natsu chuckled and let out a growl as the scarf was used to obscure his view of his radiant queen. Luckily his arms had loosened their hold on the kids so if they wanted to scamper out of the fort, they were free to do so while the dragon aimed for the queen, waiting for the opening to grab her.

Lucy giggled as the children scampered off for now games and shenanigans, while she let out a surprised yelp when he made an attempt to grab her. Not going to make it easy for him! She scrambled away! "No you don't~!"

"Rawr! Come back here~!" Natsu roared as he started to chase Lucy around the fluff fort, eager to get his hands on his partner and tickle her into submission again.

"On one condition!" Lucy scampered around the fort herself, giggling, but moving always to stay just out of reach of his evil grabbing tickling fingers! She even yanks a few bits of wool off the fort to toss them at him. Bipbip!

"Oh really? And what's pfffthuie! Wha's that?" Natsu asked spitting out the wolly fluff from his mouth after Lucy managed to pelt him in his wide gaping mouth.

Lucy giggles, "You have to keep your hands off~!" And not tickle her without mercy! Otherwise, she's going to keep trying to to avoid those devilish fingers of his. Though she almost chokes on her own laughter when he nearly literally eats a bit of the wool. oops!

"Oh? So it's fine as long as I don't use hands is it~?" Really Lucy should have thought better about her condition. After all if he couldn't use his hands to grab her that left only one option. His legs.

What. WHAT. She almost sputtered, taking several more steps back, "Absolutely not!" She retorted, cheeks puffed at Huff Level 4, "It's even less fine if you don't!" Which technically is true. But now she was even more on guard for his sneakiness, glancing about for an escape route.

"No no no~ that's cheating. You made a condition for me to get what I want." Natsu answered with the biggest grin as he stalked closer and closer. Yes cutting off her retreat sounded like a good idea indeed.

"W.. who says it's cheating?" It was darn hard to not giggle at the grin on his face, even when he stalked her like that. "Princesses and Queens make their own rules~!" Grabbing a handful of wool she suddenly flings it at her stalking dragon and makes a dash for it! But did he anticipate her being sneaky and cut her off first? gaspgasp!

"Well isn't that funny? Kings can do the same~!" Natsu laughed and got right in front of her when she tried to make a speedy escape. Honestly he had her beat in terms of sheer speed so it was already a forgone conclusion.

"Wait, but Queens can v-eek!!" Lucy's startled shriek turned into a giggle when her attempt to scamper away made her run straight into him. Of course he'd get in front of her easily, she knew better than anyone he was incredibly fast. But it was all part of their own version of play, and she glanced up at him with a sheepish grin. "Hi there."

"Hiiii~ missed me?" Natsu asked aiming to get her to step back and trip on the floof of the fort so he could straddle her waist and trap her down with his legs thus keeping with the terms.

"Always." Lucy grinned, giving him her cutest smile as she clasped her hands in front of her face, "Who wouldn't -ACK!" Whoop, down she goes, and she squeals a soft 'distressed' noise when he traps her. Uh..! SHE STILL HAS ONE CARD TO PLAY. "W.. who wouldn't miss the most wonderful, merciful, strongest, handsomest, most passionate dragon in the world?" Buttering him up. Surely he won't be mean right?

"Hmmmm~ So you do know what's up~ Then you shouldn't have tried to stop me~" Natsu smirked and pushed her deeper into the fluff so that they would both sink out of sight before he leaned forward to claim a kiss from Lucy's lips.

Oh! Well that's much better than tickling her without mercy. Still she grinned in response to his smirk, bringing her arms up to curl behind him with a chuckle. "And when have I ever made it easy for you?" She teased, before she melted into the fluff and warmth and presence of her beloved, tilting her head a little to meet him when he leaned forward to claim what was rightfully his.

"Hmhm~ Well I do have trouble thinking of an answer for that~" Natsu answered with a purr pushing against her more firmly until his hand move up along her side but not tickling her like he'd intended.

Lucy uttered a low groan, "Naatsu... stop that," she protested rather feebly, chuckling, lowering her hand to cover his, "Later, later..~" What if one of the kids - or worse, one of their guildmates decided to come looking for them! As much as she would love wrapping herself entirely in him and just spending time along with him, they were hardly alone here!

"Hmhmhm~ It's fine it's fine as long as we don't go TOO far~" Natsu certainly did not seem keen to stop just yet and they were settled neatly in a small pit in the fluff fort.

"Natsu..~!" Lucy's protests don't even get past soft chiding, amused in spite of herself at his shamelessness. "What's gotten into you," she murmured against his ear. But he did have a point, they'd be fine as long as they didn't go TOO far. Still she snugged her arms closer around him with a throaty little chuckle and a soft sigh.

"What are you talking about? I'm no different than usual~" He purred getting even more comfortable on top of her but not letting his hands wander anywhere inapropriate.
