Chapter 4

Lucy came to check on natsu after dressing up as she dried her hair with a towel. She saw he was sleeping like babies do with his arms up and his legs wide taking over her whole bed. She giggled a bit but heard him again whimper, she sat by the bed as she tried hearing what he was mumbling in his sleep.

"… mmm…. Luce… stop…. Not… there…"

*she smirked at maybe natsu wasn't all that innocent as she kept hearing him out.*

She noticed now he had 'morning wood' as it was still morning and probably was having a wet dream with her now.

"…mm. .. Lucy…. Stoo… ahh.."

*natsu mumbled as Lucy saw him twitch a bit, she turned pale at the scare that she had woken him up but only saw he relaxed back to his sleepy dream.*

"I should go.. before he really wakes up.."

*lucy made her way out but leaving the door a bit open so he would wake up naturally to the smell of breakfast.*

Natsu now opened one of his eyes slowly to take a peek if she was gone as he sat up trying to muffle his chuckle.

"That's what you get Lucy for coming to spy on a sleeping man~ hehehe…"

*natsu stretch forgetting about his hard-on as he winced when it brushed against his thigh.*

"… aww man… not again… oh well I have to get rid of it before I go have breakfast.. might as well take a bath.."

*natsu suggested it to himself as he gave a final scare to Lucy to tell her good morning once again as he went to go jump in a quick bath.*

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

As time passed, lucy and natsu had gotten pretty comfortable around each other's awkward moments.

They felt more better now they knew about each other's feelings. Lucy for most felt more secure now as she would have natsu sleep over with her. Natsu didn't really change his behavior around her, but felt open to hug her now and would occasionally give her a kiss on the cheek when she was open.

They didn't tell anyone though… nobody really asked so they felt like it wasn't exactly necessary to broadcast their relationship that didn't change much.

That's until natsu was dragged to gajeel's bachelors party…

"Hey natsu why you all glum? You feel sick or something?"

*macao had insisted to host the bachelors party.. even if it was more for him and the other single men to enjoy the dancing girls.. he still worried about natsu who was in a corner with his arms folded and giving a frowning look at the floor.*

"Can I go home now? .. I don't like being here, and I got plans.."

*natsu lied as he was rather uncomfortable instead, he was and only had eyes for Lucy. But by the looks of things, the guys were getting paired up with the dancers by the older male members of the guild. Lucky Gajeel didn't have to deal with it as he sat in the middle of the room with a silly hat saying 'forever taken'*

"Come on natsu, live a little.. plus I know you are only going to either go home or hang out with happy.. coke on natsu at least have some drinks with me.."

*macao insisted, as natsu rolled his eyes.*

"Only one drink, then I'm out of here.. I have someone waiting for me.."

*natsu said as he tried chugging the pint of beer Macao was giving him as Macao gave him a weird look.*

"Oh really? Since when?"

"*sigh* since I got a girlfriend, so I'll be leaving now.."

*natsu got up as Macao sat him back down as he gave him a serious jojo face.*

"No. You will sit here and tell me… WHEN DID YOU GET A GIRLFRIEND?!?"

*macao yelled out as he was so surprised by this sudden announcement that got everyone else's attention. No sir-e, this wasn't a bachelor's party now … it became a investigation of who, what, when, where, why, and how?!*

"Natsu! You never told us you had a girlfriend!!! You cheater!!"

*jet exclaimed as he overheard the conversation from a nearby table. The men from the guild began to huddle up*

"Like hell!! None of you ever asked, so i didn't think of it as your buisness!!!"

*natsu felt like he messed up now from getting away as he wished he would have kept his mouth shut, now he was surrounded with not a exit for him to leave.*

"Well then! Tell us natsu, how pretty is she? Where did you two meet?? What's her personality like?? And what have you done with her already??"

*the men asked natsu as they really wondered what's was natsu's type. They thought back when he was best friends with lisanna, so they thought maybe his type where they were more like lisanna.*

"Ha! She's beautiful of course! And does it matter where we met?? Her personality is just as fiery hot as my fire, and mind your own damn buisness with what I do with her!! I ain't a pervert like all of you!"

*natsu blushed lightly at the fact he realized he hasn't done anything with Lucy yet, but that just got the group more curious about Natsu's 'mystery' girlfriend.*

"So natsu, are you dating someone from our guild? Because if I seem correct, all of the girls in our guild are beautiful, fiery hot tempers, and very hot… so natsu.. what's her name?"

*macao raised an eyebrow as he saw natsu gulp in a nervous way as he tried looking away… he pretty much read him already, all he needed was for natsu to mess up and describe the girl from their guild. Everyone was paying attention to natsu and macao*

"If I tell you, would you let me leave… I promised her I would be back home soon… "

*natsu seemed calm which everyone was surprised more, did this mystery girl really tame their fire breathing kid?!*

"That depends who it is.. haha it's not like your dating Erza or lucy right?.."

*droy spoke up now as he laughed at how those two dangerous women where when angered… but only saw natsu's face sweatdrop at the mentioning of Lucy's name.*

"Right… well… me and luce have been together for a month now but nothing really changed in that time compared to the other 3 years we've been together…"

*natsu said bluntly as everyone felt a cold bucket fall on them… did he say he was dating lucy?!*

"Natsu??! Are you seriously dating lucy!?"

*macao asked as natsu closed his eyes with a light blush as he took another drink of his pint of alcohol that was magically refilled.. he nodded as he was beginning to feel a bit buzz."

"Yesh! And I love her with all my heart! So that's why I have to leave *hiccup*! Before she keeps breaking her heart thinking i don't love her enough! *hiccup*"

*everyone felt amazed how considerate natsu was in a relationship, but also envied him for dating one of the guilds hottest women. They wanted to know more now.*

"Natsu? So you say you it's none of our. Buisness.. but, what have you two done lately? Have you tooken her out on a date? Bought her flowers? How did you even come around to ask her to be yours? Have you kissed her yet?"

*macao interested in giving some advice to natsu asked as everyone else was losing interest as they went back to the party.*

"We haven't done anything different then hang out and sleep together. Of course nothing happens though since we only *hiccup* sleep and nothing more. No… I haven't tooken her on a date yet, and yes I kiss her here all the time!"

*natsu pointed at his cheek showing where he kissed his cute girl, Macao saw how pure his relationship was but also saw that it lacked any desires for each other.. should he help?*

"But natsu? Say.. do you ever wish to do 'more' with her? Don't you get hard ons when your with her alone?"

"Of course! But I don't like that type of things… *hiccup* … just her being with me is enough.. zzz"

*natsu rested his head on a table nearby as he fell asleep now thinking of his beloved lucy. Macao chuckled as he ruffled the boys head.*

"You sure are one nice dude, natsu…. I'm glad you found your spark…"

*macao smiled softly as he picked up natsu by the arm as he helped him up and carried him to Lucy's apartment.*

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Lucy was worried sick now as natsu told her he would be back when she saw him get dragged away by all the guys at the guild. She heard it was a bachelors party to were he was taken as she grew anxious about.

Lucy trusted him that he wouldn't cheat on her, but more worried about the other guys trying to set him up with girls.. lucy sighed as she debated if she should go pick him up, or crash the venue all together?

Suddenly a knock was heard on her door as she wondered who it was. She opened the door as she saw macao supporting a sleeping drunk natsu on his shoulder.

"Hello Lucy, sorry for making natsu stay longer then he wanted.. he was a good boy don't worry.. but I think i might have gone overboard on his drinks."

*macao smiled as Lucy made way to motion him to follow her and place natsu on her bed.*

"Oh um, thank you?… "

"Don't worry, I know you two are together since he kept bragging about his pretty girlfriend *chuckle* well… I better leave now, to give you two some privacy… also.. don't worry Lucy… he cried for you all the way home.. hahaha"

*macao waved goodbye to Lucy as he left through the door. Lucy closed the door as she sighed a breath of relief, she came back to her room as she watched natsu sleep soundly.*

"Hmm … I better brush your teeth… I don't want to wake up you your bad breath in the morning natsu.."

*lucy smiled as she went to fetch a hand towel, his tooth brush with tooth paste, and a little cup and bowel for him to rinse his mouth.*

Lucy got him to wake up just enough for him to sit up as she brushed his mouth and waited for him to rinse and spit. Lucy smiled as she was satisfied with the work as she placed the things down and took off natsu's vest for him. He was very tired and sleepy so he would only groan and mumble noises as he felt her toss him around.

She took of his sandles as she took off his pants that reeked of smoke and alcohol. She decided to throw all his clothes in the washer as she got ready for bed next and layed down now with him.

"Goodnight natsu.. I love you.."

"Mmm.. I love you too luce.."

*natsu replied without opening his eyes as he grabbed her face, felt her lips with his fingers as he planted a kiss into them. Lucy blushed as she felt natsu get a little messy with slipping his tongue into her mouth as he ended the kiss and smiled with satisfaction while his eyes were still closed*

"… mmm .. that felt nice… I have been curious about how you tasted… you taste like strawberries.."

*natsu last said as he finally gave into sleep as he hugged Lucy like a body pillow and slept comfortably, Lucy smiled as she giggled at how she had eaten some left over strawberry cake earlier that she brought home from the bachelorette party, she pecked natsu on the lips as she closed her eyes now*

"… and you taste like cinnamon natsu.. my spicy pink cinnamon bun~.."

*lucy said as she drowsily fell asleep as well.*
