Thanks to @promptmaker for the prompt for this. Enjoy, y’all. Have some smutty fluff.
Natsu was nowhere to be found.
Normally this wouldn’t have been a problem. He wasn’t attached to Lucy’s hip or anything.
But somehow today was different. He had left early, before Lucy had even woken up.
And he hadn’t even left a note.
And frankly, Lucy was a bit ticked off about it. She spent part of the morning sulking and grumbling at the guild hall to anyone who would listen.
“Yes, Lucy. We know you’re upset.”
“Yeah, we heard you the last three times.”
Gray and Erza seemed to have been regretting their decision to come to the hall that morning. Thankfully Mira noticed and intercepted the situation before it got any hairier.
“Why don’t you do something that’ll take your mind off of worrying? I could always use help around the bar.”
“Sure. Thanks, Mira.”
And that was that. Lucy helped Mira all afternoon, giving her a hand with various small tasks. Her irritation had calmed considerably, although she did wonder where her pink haired bonehead of a boyfriend was…
“Need….anything….else?” Lucy panted as she shifted a large keg under the bar counter.
“No, it looks like we’re pretty set up for the dinner shift. Thanks for all your help.”
“Don’t mention it.” Oof. She sat down, rested her head on her hands, glad for a moment of respite after working all day. She almost didn’t notice Mira sliding a job request across the counter until it was right in front of her. “Huh? What’s this?”
“This came in earlier. I think it’s just perfect for you.”
“Perfect for me…?” Huh? She picked the request up and read it aloud. “Meet me by the tallest sakura tree in South Gate Park at sunset… Huh. This handwriting looks kinda familiar…”
Mira shrugged, clearly feigning innocence over the whole thing, and waved Lucy off.
Well…nothing to do but check this out…
So Lucy left the hall and made her way to South Gate Park. She reached the largest tree just as the sun was starting to set, walked around to the back…
And there was Natsu, leaning against the trunk next to what was clearly a picnic setup. A small pile of blankets to sit on, a box of sandwiches…
“Hey, Luce! You made it!”
Honestly Lucy had wanted to smack him for the whole leaving-without-a-trace thing. Now…seeing him all happy like that…she couldn’t. The sweet joy on her boyfriend’s face was contagious.
“I did, mister sneaky. Where’s Happy?”
“Oh, he’s off visiting the exceed village.” He sat down, grabbed a sandwich, gestured for her to do the same. Once she complied he pulled a blanket up and around them. They ate in peace, then shifted, lay down to watch the shimmering blossoms in one another’s arms.
Peace…until Lucy’s voice broke the silence.
“Natsu, what’s this all about?” Not that Lucy was complaining. Cuddling together was pretty blissful. Cuddling together under the sakura trees this early in their blooming season was absolutely magical.
“There’s somethin’ I wanted to say. Well, ask.”
“Go on.” What was he up to…and why was her heart going a million miles a minute?!
Probably for the same reason he was blushing. A sudden wave of shyness swept over both. Natsu stalled for a moment, ruffled his hair, then took her hand.
“I love you, Luce. I love wakin’ up next to you, and I love knowin’ there’s so much trust and love between us that we can argue, spar, hook up, and cuddle with the same amount of passion. I can’t see a future that’s worth a crap if you’re not part of it. Would you, ya know, ever think about marryin’ me?
She didn’t respond at first. She started crying then hugged him, face buried in the warmth of his chest.
"I don’t just think about it. I want it. I want you, dummy. Always and forever, to the stars and back.” Her author side was showing. Natsu didn’t mind. Lucy had a way of making mundane words seem extraordinary.
Kinda like being with her made even a boring day bearable…
For once he was speechless. He slipped the ring onto her finger then pulled her into his arms and into a sweet little kiss.
That sweet little kiss turned spicy when Lucy let her hands roam under his vest and nibbled his bottom lip.
Natsu had dense moments but he knew when his woman was in the mood…even when he hadn’t expected it. Usually she would suggest they go to her place. Somehow tonight was different. Not that he minded.
“Yeah. We can stay under the blanket.” Coy little giggle.
“Works for me.” He re-positioned, gently laying her on her back before he kissed her again. Hands wandered. Natsu devoted several moments to tugging down her tube top and playing with her exquisite breasts. Lucy curled a leg around his waist. No mistake, she could feel his growing erection even through his pants.
“Don’t hold back, love. Not tonight.”
A growl and a nod. He reached a hand under that tiny skirt of hers and immediately ripped her panties off before burning the ruined garment to ashes.
Lucy didn’t complain. Secretly the whole thing was beyond thrilling. Being outside under the blooms. The risk of getting discovered, however slight. Seeing him destroy her panties only made her want him more.
“Naughty, naughty. Anhhh…” A rather rough finger made its way into her hungry depths. “…showoff.”
“I do.” Small noise of protest as his talented finger slipped out and up, eventually stopping to rub her clit. She mewled. “…ohhh, Natsu.”
“Luce, I love you and I wanna give you everything…”
“Start with tonight.” Deep delicious kiss. He couldn’t argue with that. So he unbuttoned his pants and freed his famished cock. Slow, careful, he slipped into her, filling her need with his own.
Making love was a sensory feast both partners savored. Natsu loved hearing her little mewls and moans, loved smelling her arousal grow until she just couldn’t take it. Lucy loved his feral growling, and absolutely adored the way his touches ranged from slow and sensual to rough and wild. They both loved the sweet heated friction of their bodies joined in passion.
Natsu had Lucy pinned to the ground, nibbling her neck as he fucked her as hard as he could without hurting her.
“Warmer…” He gave her what she wanted, increased his temp just enough to make her mewl again. She closed her eyes and arched her back. “Na..Natsu…”
He knew that sound, knew it meant she was so close to the edge of bliss. He claimed her mouth in a kiss, muffling their shared sounds of passion.
Somehow their timing was perfect. Somehow, under the iridescent blooms of the sakura trees on a cool spring night, they shared their first mutual orgasm.
And it was absolutely magical.
They cuddled together under the blanket, not wanting to let go for anything. Eventually clothes were re-adjusted, blankets were folded, and the pair made their way home.
The whole time, Natsu had his hand on Lucy’s skirt. It was partially to hide her current lack of underwear…and partially so he could grab at his future wife’s sexy little ass at random moments. Lucy blushed a bit at this, but really, she didn’t mind. Never would she ever complain about his affectionate grabs and love-pats.
On any other night, the pair might have gone for a second round to celebrate their engagement. It had been a long day for both, and Lucy was still pretty exhausted from being Mira’s assistant all day. Natsu understood, and was happy to just hang out and relax with her after they changed into pajamas. He followed her to bed, made sure they were both covered in the comforter, and lay next to her while she read.
Every so often he would squeeze her shoulder, stroke over her back, or poke her then sneak a sweet little kiss. Lucy just giggled, nuzzled her head against his, and went back to reading. To think she had been so pissed at him earlier…
Eventually they both fell asleep, dreaming of magic, adventure, and a shared future that would be nothing less than incredible…
