Just a lil indulgent domestic fluff drabble cause it was 113 damn degrees out today with fires on top of it and I’m so done with this heat! I wish I was somewhere rainy and cold （´ヘ｀；） loll
Also based on the prompt: “I took your hoodie and I’m not giving it back.”
Natsu looked out the window over the sink, watching the thick drops of rain patter heavily in front of him. He sighed deeply, taking in the crisp air through one of the windows he’d opened and the soothing scent of the tea he was making.
He always loved the feeling of the cool air flow in with the scent of the rain. Made it a little cold in the house but nothing a few plushy blankets couldn’t solve.
He glanced at the clock above the stove. She should be home so-
Natsu heard keys at the door. Ah, right on time, he thought with a grin.
Lucy trekked in with a huff, shaking off her umbrella outside the door before dropping it in the corner of the entryway and shutting the door.
“Hey, you,” Natsu grinned warmly, making his way over to meet her halfway. He took her bag from her shoulder, setting it on the couch before Lucy’s arms wound around his waist.
“Hi,” Lucy murmured tiredly against him. Her cold nose on the skin of his neck.
“Long day?” Natsu rubbed one hand along her back soothingly, the other taking the hair tie off and threading through her hair, gently untangling some of the damp strands.
“Ugh, felt like it would never end, and I hate driving in the rain,” she grumbled, tucking her head further under his chin and squeezing him closer to her, “wish I could’ve had the day off like you, mr chemistry professor.”
Natsu chuckled softly. “Assistant professor. Still had a bunch of to get through even though I was home,” he murmured into her hair, enjoying her warmth and the perfect way she fit against him, “and just say the word and I’ll call the office and tell them to give you the whole month off.”
Lucy breathed an airy laugh, leaning back slightly to look up at him. “I wish, that would be amazing.”
“Mm, for now, how about you get changed and I’ll get fire goin’ and get you somethin’ warm to eat,” Natsu said warmly, tucking some strands behind her ear.
Lucy gave him an affectionate grateful smile. “Sounds perfect. Thank you,” she whispered before leaning in to give him a slow lingering kiss that sent tingles up his spine.
Natsu sighed against her addicting warm soft lips, moving to rest his forehead against hers when they parted.
Natsu just finished setting up the food on the coffee table in front of the couch when he heard Lucy making her way back downstairs, figuring she’d wanna be comfy.
Well, they ate dinner here more often than not really.
Natsu looked up and grinned a toothy smile at the sight of the familiar dark green hoodie.
“Yes, I took your hoodie and I’m not giving it back,” Lucy teased with a bright grin as she settled into her usual corner of the couch. Dressed in her favorite fluffy cat socks, soft pants and his (her) hoodie, hair dried and up in a messy bun but looking just as gorgeous in his eyes.
Natsu barked out a laugh. “Wouldn’t expect anything less, babe.” He picked up the tray and carefully set it over her lap. “Here ya go, Luce. Think I perfected my ramen recipe this time,” he grinned, settling down beside her with his own tray.
“Mm, this looks amazing! I can’t wait,” she said, giving him a bright smile that reached her warm chocolate eyes.
Yup, that smile was still able to make his stomach flutter every time.
They quickly tucked in and satisfied praises tumbled from Lucy’s lips throughout the meal until the bowls were dry and bellies full.
Natsu came back from cleaning up a bit in the kitchen, setting some fresh tea in front of them and flopping back down on the couch.
“That was so good, Natsu. You definitely perfected that one,” Lucy breathed contently, settling back into the cushions behind her, “I would eat another bowl if I wasn’t about to doze off.”
Natsu laughed softly. “C’mere, you.” He wrapped an arm over her shoulders, tucking her under his chin again and tugging her legs up over his lap, throwing a blanket over them. “Feel free, I can always carry you to bed, princess.”
Lucy sighed happily, feeling her smile against his neck. “Why thank you my noble dragon. I’m glad I married you.”
A soft chuckle rumbled Natsu’s chest. “Mm, we made a good call on that one.” He pressed a warm kiss to Lucy’s temple, glancing at the shiny band on the hand that was smoothing along her arm. His other hand laced his fingers with hers, playing with the matching band she wore.
A strong swell of warm affection filled his chest. What would he have done if he’d never met her all those years ago when he nervously asked her where the library was after transferring to her high school.
Her bright smile captured his heart right then and there.
“Love you, Luce. So much,” he whispered into her soft hair, hugging her close. Natsu felt her lean up to press a kiss to his jaw.
“I love you too, Natsu… always,” Lucy said softly. He met her gaze, finding love and fondness reflecting back at him, making him melt into touch of her fingers threading through the hair at the back of his neck.
Natsu replied by capturing her lips again in a deep kiss. Lucy breathed a soft sound into him, winding her arms further around his neck.
With the low crackling of the fire in front of them, heavy rain outside, warmth of her lips over his and the way she was flush against him, it really was as perfect as he could imagine it.
