All Fired Up - Part 1
So, I was inspired yesterday by @fainttwinkling‘s amazing fan art of Fireman Natsu rescuing Lucy and Plue. I may have written a little something. It was only going to be a one-shot, but it looks like it’s gonna be a two-parter. For everyone waiting on my other fics, what can I say. I’m sorry! They’re coming, I promise. Sooooo, without further ado, here’s part one.
Edited to add link to FF.net All Fired Up
Tumblr media
Natsu jogged down the smoke-filled hallway, the torch on his hip doing little to illuminate the area directly in front of him. The fire was crackling further down the dark passageway, gaining hold; he needed to do this search sweep quickly so the team setting up two floors down could move in and fight the blaze. He’d already lost sight of his partner Gray in the haze, even though he was only a few feet away as he searched the apartments on the other side of the hallway.
 “Hello? Anyone up here?”, he yelled, voice muffled by the rubber mask of his breathing apparatus. Most of the tenants had already evacuated down the exterior fire escapes and were huddled in an anxious crowd in a small park across the street, but it was his job to quickly look for anyone unable to get out of the building. He systematically tested each door as he moved past. He was almost at the end of the hall, closest to the fire when he heard a dog barking. A small dog, by the sounds of the frantic high-pitched yapping.
 His hand went to try the door knob, but it was already ajar. It was impossible to see anything through the thick smoke in this room, so he dropped to his hands and knees, using his hands and arms to feel. It was almost unbearably hot, he could see flames pushing into the room, the vicious crackle audible over the hiss of his breathing apparatus.
 “Hey dog. Little help buddy? Where are ya?” A whimpering sound came from his left side and he reached out his gloved hand, but instead of a small dog, found the definite shape of a human arm, a woman’s arm he guessed, by the size and shape.
 “Gray, you there? I found someone. Evacuating her now. Are the paramedics out the front yet?” He could hardly see her in the darkness of the smoke-filled room, but managed to drag her towards him, rolling her carefully onto her stomach. He felt relief punch his gut when he heard a soft moan; she was still alive. He dragged her upwards so he could tuck his head under her arm and haul her onto his back, one hand around her slender wrist, the other tucked around her thigh.
 Gray’s voice crackled over the radio in his ear. “Yeah, Elfman said they’re out the front already. Natsu, you need to get out. Your time’s up, your tank should be close to empty. Do you think there’s anyone else?”
 “Nope, this was the last apartment. Fire’s in the apartment at the end of the hall, western side.”
 “No one on this side either so the floor’s clear. You take the injured person out; Elfman said the exterior crew’s just about to send up a ladder”, responded Gray.
 Natsu shrugged the woman into position and was about to get to his feet when he heard another sharp bark. A small white dog was whimpering on the floor, cowering against his leg.
 “Hey buddy. Thanks for letting me know where your girl was. Good job. But now it’s time to go.” He transferred the woman’s wrist to the same arm hooked around her leg to lock her securely into a fireman’s carry and scooped up the small dog with his other hand as he stood. There was a dull roar as the fire in the apartment began to take hold, rippling across the ceiling above him like it was alive, dropping embers around them. It was definitely time to leave.
 Natsu stepped out into the now pitch-black hallway, using his shoulder as a guide to find where the opening of the stairwell was. He could hear Gray following him down, the sound of the slightly taller man’s heavy boots echoing in the stairwell. Once they’d gone down one flight, Gray gave the all clear to send in the fire fighting crew with their hoses. Hopefully they’d caught it in time before it had jumped to the next level.
 The woman in his arms moaned suddenly. “No, stay away!” she slurred, then coughed, her breath gasping a little as she twisted weakly in his arms. Natsu maintained a firm grip on her.
 “Hey, it’s okay Ma’am. You’re safe now. There was a fire in your apartment, I’m with the Magnolia Fire Department. Just take it easy while I get you to safety.”
 “You’re not him? He hit me…my head”, the woman slurred again. She coughed, her breath wheezing, and Natsu hustled down the steps a little faster. She sounded disorientated, which was common with smoke inhalation injuries. The best thing he could do for her was to get her to the paramedics quickly so they could get her on oxygen and assess her injuries.
 “Gray, I’m takin’ her to the paramedics. You okay to make a report?” Gray nodded, holding the front door of the apartment building open for him before walking over to the crew gathered around the fire engine in front of the building.
 Natsu jogged out of the building and across the road to where the paramedics where waiting. Wendy had an oxygen mask at the ready; Elfman must have let them know he was coming. “Hey Wendy. I got someone for you. She’s been lapsing in and out of consciousness, coughing and wheezing and sounded a little disorientated. Fire had already taken hold, so I’d err on the side of caution and say carbon monoxide poisoning as well as smoke inhalation.”
 Natsu placed the dog gently on the ground for a moment so he could use both hands to carefully lay the woman down on the gurney as she continued to cough. He removed his helmet, breathing apparatus and hood, taking in a deep lungful of the smoky night air. The cooler air was a balm to his heated cheeks and soaked hair, the lighter pink darkened by sweat. He looked down at the woman on the gurney, able to get a good look at the woman he’d saved for the first time, now that he’d removed his safety equipment. She looked to be in her mid-twenties and had obviously had a rough night. Her skin was paled to a porcelain white, a stark contrast to the dark soot collected around her mouth and nose and the blood smearing her temple and golden blonde hair. Her cocoa eyes were wide and frightened. As Natsu moved to get out of the paramedic’s way she grabbed his arm.
 “Plue”, she rasped, the effort of speaking making her cough more. “My dog, he was there…”
 Natsu gave her a reassuring grin. “It’s okay ma’am, try not to speak. I got ‘im. He was the reason I found you. He’s one brave pooch.” He moved to one side to let Wendy in to assess the woman’s injuries but picked up the small dog and held him so she could see her dog in his arms. The little white dog’s tail wagged sluggishly as he heard his owner’s voice, and he managed a few barking coughs similar to his owner. She reached out to stroke the furry ears.
 “That’s twice... you’ve saved me... tonight... Plue. Good... boy”, she wheezed. Her arm tugged weakly on the heavy fabric of Natsu’s heavy jacket. He could see she was in a lot of pain, but she looked up at him and gave him a grateful smile that went straight to his heart. “Thank... you.” She was stopped from saying any more as the blue haired paramedic gently placed an oxygen mark over her face.
 “Lay back now ma’am. What’s your name?”
 “Lu…Lucy”.
 “Okay Lucy. I’m treating you for smoke inhalation. I know you’re probably in a lot of pain right now, and I’ll be giving you something for that in just a moment. You’ve got a few second degree burns on your arms and legs. I’m assuming you’ve got a pretty bad headache too huh?”
 “Yeah”. Lucy closed her eyes, her breathing still raspy. “He hit me.”
 “Who hit you?”
 “The guy. The guy who started the fire…”
 Natsu and Wendy shared a concerned look as Romeo set up an IV line.
 “You’re takin’ her to Magnolia Central, right cuz?” asked Natsu. Wendy nodded, securing Lucy safely on the gurney with straps before she and Romeo loaded her into the back of the ambulance. “Tell her I’ll take care of her dog for her.” 
Wendy nodded as she moved closer to Lucy in the back of the ambulance, placing a pulse oximeter on her finger-tip to monitor her heart rate and oxygen levels. Romeo shut the back door and climbed up in front.
 “See ya later Natsu”, he called as he started up the engine.
 “Yeah, later kiddo”, teased Natsu, chuckling as Romeo rolled his eyes at him. The ambulance drove off, and Natsu looked down at the dog whimpering in his arms. “Hey, don’t worry ‘bout it Plue. I’m sure she’ll be fine. We’ll go visit later huh, after we get you looked at first.” He turned back towards the fire, which was now mostly out thanks to the teams working both inside and outside the apartment block.
 He put his fingers to his earpiece. “Hey Gray, ya loser. Still there?”
 “Yeah. What’s up flame brain?”
 “Tell the chief he needs to call Erza. I think we’ve got more than a simple house fire on our hands. The woman had a head wound which she said was inflicted by a man who set the fire.”
 “Dammit. Looks like our arsonist is at it again.”
 “Yeah. And tell the Captain after I finish my report, I’m gonna have to end my shift early.”
 “What’s wrong you idiot. Don’t tell me you got yourself injured?”
 “Nah. I’m dog sitting for Lucy. Know any good vets around here?”

Hi! Love your blog and thanks for all the info! Do you maybe know anything on whether the deluxe white-cover script book will ever be republished (will there ever be more copies available)? =] You seem like someone who would possibly know something about it x)
Hello! Aw, happy you like the blog! :)
I’m afraid I don’t know. :(
But I don’t think it can hurt if you write to Waterstones or Headline Publishing Group and show them that there is a market for it so they could cook up a reprint :).

I finally give you, Banshee!Lucy in her true form! 
I commissioned and practically pestered @fainttwinkling for this amazing art that is my idea come to life. Without her amazing attitude and incredible artistic talent this would have never been possible! Thank you dear! 
I would definitely suggest her for anyone looking for a kickass artist to commission. 
This her blog here.
Her Scream is finally in it’s ‘final’ stages, and I never thought it would get the following it has, so a thank-you is needed to all my readers, and fans that made writing it just a little easier. 
You can find it here:
Ffnet.
AO3. (Archive is a little late on updates currently so Ffnet would be better if you want the most updated.) 
stay fresh x

Inner Nayos brings such a nice feeling of serenity. I just want to lay among its bluish tall grass and listen to it gently murmur..
Taking calm deep breaths and just existing.

----
‘Have you missed me?’
Such a simple question with a loaded answer. 
A day had turned to a week. A week into a month. A month…. Into three. Too long, far too long. It was taking its toll on him. An obvious toll that everyone could see. It started subtly. His smile stopped reaching his eyes one day- the cackling laugh that erupted so often grew quiet: subdued. At one point, he didn’t respond to Gray or even Gajeel goading him to a fight. 
It was worrisome, but they all knew better than to force him. Natsu tried to live through every day as if nothing were wrong, but the longer Lucy stayed away, the harder it became. Jobs were easy. He went on one or two daily, even joined up with Erza, Gray and Wendy for a few that lasted a couple of days or more, but none would last as long as the one Lucy had been on and there was only so many days Natsu could pretend it wasn’t eating at him the longer she was away. They’d never been apart for so long, not since she’d joined the Guild- it was … an empty feeling he didn’t want to name. 
Natsu had taken to sleeping in her apartment on Strawberry Street. It wasn’t beyond the ordinary; the days spent staying at her place tripled the moment their relationship became official, but his days after she left had begun at his own home with happy. It had changed with time- the small house became devoid of sound as he and Happy moved their nights to the comfort of Lucy’s empty bed. 
The comforter smelled like her- a smell that couldn’t leave after so many washes or days away-  it eased his nights and made it easier, though they were full of nightmares. Had the job gone wrong? Was she okay? Countless nights finding her again and again, only for her to disappear in a multitude of ways: wounded, fading, dying, waving goodbye- versions were endless. He never spoke of them, but every guild member knew something was wrong when he came to the Hall, tired and dazed, falling asleep with his face smushed in the Fire Chicken placed before him. 
“- maybe you should get some more sleep.” Erza said, frowning pulling at her face while her arms crossed. “Making a mess is usual, but this is becoming ridiculous.”
“I’m fine.” He grumbled, face planted to the table, little specks of the earlier dish still covering a bit of his nose and chin. He’d wipe them off later. Natsu may have been pushing Erza’s button’s with that response, but even Gray tapped the wood next to him, chiming in with an opinion before the redhead could continue.
“Dude, serious,” He mumbled, scratched the back of his head, somewhat uncomfortable. “Usually I’d call you an idiot, but even I’m starting to feel bad. Either quit sulking or go back to bed!”
Natsu lifted a hand to give his fellow wizard a well-known hand signal that gave his opinion loud and clear. Gray smacked the hand and scoffed. “Fine. Suit yourself, you flamin’ idiot.”
“Is-.. is Natsu going to be okay?” 
“I said I’m fine!” Snapped Natsu, finally lifting his head to look towards Wendy, pulling a small grin. “Seriously guys, I know Lucy’s more than tough and will be back in no time, so can ya’ drop it?”
His answer came when Erza’s hand shot out, pinching his ear and forcing a loud yelp to escape him, “We’ll drop it as soon as you stop pathetically moping on the table,  and get some sleep!”
A grunt of pain, a few chuckles around the hall, and a wave to Happy was the end to his venture that day- effectively kicked out for rest. ‘Don’t you worry, Natsu!’ Happy had told him whilst he was shoved out the door, ‘I’ll hold the fort until you feel better and if Lucy comes back, I’ll even tell her where you’re at!’
Pfft, He thanked Happy with a pat to the Exceed’s head, but figured it wouldn’t matter. Lucy always liked to come home first and if that happened… well, he certainly wasn’t sleeping back at his place. Surrounded by so many memories somehow made his sleep even worse. Slinking through Lucy’s window, it was easy to flop onto the mattress, shuffle himself against the blanket and pillows and let his exhaustion over take him. Maybe once he rested, he could drag Happy off for fishing or another job….
Her scent was there again, overflowing his senses. Natsu’s tense muscles relaxed, sighing softly as the pillow and scarf effectively covered his tired eyes. He’d worry about shutting the window later (if he remembered)- for now he was more than content to slowly drift off. The ticking of a nearby clock reminded him vaguely of the emptiness in the apartment and he frowned, peeking one eye out into the dim light of her room. 
It wasn’t as fun without Lucy around…  he’d noticed it before, time and time again- the exhilaration he’d feel when they were doing things together: either playing a game, teasing or working- the world just seemed a little bit brighter. While his life was still bright, and his family there- somehow… things just felt…. 
“It’s all dusty.” He mumbled. With that word in the air, he sighed, allowing dark, tired eyes to slide shut, and waited for his tired body to give in. 
Lucy’s scent was overwhelming when he came to. 
It was everywhere, strong and musky- the sort of smell that followed her after a hard job or training. Usually she would shower immediately, claiming she felt gross and had to wash herself, but he never minded it. (It really wasn’t THAT bad of a smell- most wouldn’t even notice if they didn’t have the sort of nose he did.)  This was a scent he was used to, but as the sleep slowly seeped from him, Natsu realized it was far too strong and-
A rustling of hair  brushed his face, the mattress bent from added weight and the window clicking shut echoed through the room- Natsu’s eyes shot open, very much awake.
“-Lucy?!” The question held excitement, blood pumping through his ears as he hoped his senses hadn’t betrayed him- freezing in place when he was greeted with the family, brown eyes of his girlfriend. 
She had also frozen, slightly leaning over him still from her attempts to shut the window as quietly as possible. “Oh- sorry, did I wake you?” She questioned, voice low, as if her quiet whispers could lull him back to sleep. “You looked so tired, I didn’t want to-”
Lucy never had the chance to finish her sentence as Natsu’s body reacted, surging forward to grab her- the force sent them both tumbling off the bed and crashing to the floor.  Her screech was sudden and it rang in his ears, but he didn’t care- he was more concerned with ensuring he wasn’t having another one of his many vivid dreams. She felt real enough- her clothes were wrinkled from travel- her hair frizzed in weird places and her keys jangled at her hip. 
Her body directly beneath his, hips straddling by his own legs and breath panting into his ear as she struggled to adjust to his sudden weight, gave Natsu all the proof he needed: His Lucy was home. 
“Weirdo,” Natsu said, head lifting to beam at her- the dimples in his smile meeting his eyes for what felt the first time in weeks, “You’ve been workin’ forever and you're worried about ME bein’ tired?”
Lucy’s answering smile looked winded and she simpered, “- it was only a few months, not forever, you goof. I came back just fine!.”
“Yeah, yeah you sure did,” He rasped back, lips surging down to silence her. He didn’t want to talk, not just yet. Natsu’s relieved laughter passed from his mouth to hers, lips molding over her own, coaxing them open to dip his tongue in to meet her own- it wasn’t tentative or searching. It was fast, desperate almost. The taste of her, the feel of her breath against his face, the way she squirmed and looked for a position for her arms as their kiss grew more frenzied…
It spoke the words he didn’t know how to say. I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you so damn much… !
Lucy hadn’t been prepared, gasping for much needed air when Natsu finally relented, pecking her mouth over and over in between laughter and their whispered names. He couldn’t get enough. Wouldn’t get enough. Not just yet. Rough fingers move along the curve of her hips, finding the skin her shirt couldn’t cover- he grasped her, feeling the rise in temperature, the hitch of her breath as his hot mouth descended upon her jaw before moving back up again. What seemed rushed, turned slow as he took in air and pulled back to admire the flush and swell of Lucy’s lips. How he’d missed that dazed look on her eyes.
“Natsu what are you-” Another interrupted, but a welcomed one. Lucy bit back her words, cheeks growing redder as Natsu tenderly moved to press a soft kiss to her nose, her eyelids and even her forehead, before moving back to her lips. The rough movement that started took a more sensuous turn as he pressed their heads together, dark eyes simmering in the dark.  The sun had been high when he’d fallen asleep, but now, he subconsciously realized their only source of light was a gentle glow from the moon. 
Though he was far more interested in the light he held within his very arms. “You are never takin’ a job that long ever again.” He said- voice serious, but eyes gleaming as he sat up, pulling her with him to brush their hips together- allowing her fingers, now shaking with her own anticipation and need, to slide his scarf off slowly before zipping down his coat to brush off his shoulders. She gave him a look he knew all too well and he  backpedaled, “At least not without me you aren’t.”
What started as a reprimand turned to a giggle as Lucy’s slim fingers finally pushed off the fabric of Natsu’s clothes and met with his heated skin, “Have you missed me, Natsu?” She asked. No answer was needed- they both knew it either way and her laughter was muffled by his impatient hands suddenly pulling at her shirt, lifting it over her arms and tossing it aside. In no time, his own hands found skin once more,  trailing up and down her Lucy’s ribs before grasping the swell of her breasts, squeezing in a silent tempo while his mouth covered hers. 
The slow, languid push and pull of their tongues was met with soft sighs and more murmurs- her legs positioned over his, pelvis and hips pressing atop his own and his hands, still impatient for more touch, grasped her thigh to push her closer against him and explored the expanse of her back. Lucy whimpered when he pulled away, teeth nipping her lip before descending downward, brows furrowed as he placed nips and open mouthed kisses over her neck and shoulder. 
More. He needed more. 
Lucy tilted her head back, giving Natsu more room to move, arms moving over his shoulder, hips shifting  as he continued to suck against her skin leaving a trail of marks. There were many words at the tip of her tongue, all wanting to be released, but she held them back. Not yet, not now- he needed this, inhaling sharply when his teeth and tongue met the tip of her nipples, she admitted in lustful whispers her own need. 
‘I missed you. I missed Happy.. I missed Gray, Erza and Wendy…’
Another rough suck and her hips gyrated against his, heat pooling in her stomach, twisting and coiling as nails dragged down his shoulders. 
‘But most importantly…’
Another press against each other, their bottoms still in the way and Natsu growled, impatient, frustrated-  Lucy whined in response as his hands quickly moved to push her skirt up, thin, lace panties pushed aside for his fingers to move and test her. She was already prepared for him- already waiting, needing- wanting-
Natsu’s impatience grew, but he ignored the tightness of his pants, grunting in satisfaction when the pads of his fingers found the sensitive bud, hidden from everyone, but him. He circled his finger,  gave pressure and stimulation- marveling at the slowly building sounds that escaped Lucy’s mouth. She’d always been noisy- breathy and more than willing to tell him just what she liked through hushed whispers against his ear. 
‘I missed you-!’
It if had been any other day, any other night- they may have taken their time. Natsu would have  eventually moved her to the bed and consumed every inch of her wish his mouth and she may have traced the contours of every muscle he possessed with her tongue before swallowing him down for great release. This was not that night. A heavy need consumed every move, every motion- Natsu’s hand continued to press and play against her, eventually testing her wetness by dipping two fingers inside, thrusting in and out.
While she crooned, urging him on, hips moving against his own in a tempo searching for a release she hadn’t reached since the last she had seen him, Natsu continued his crusade against her skin: his teeth marked her with more love bites and when one breast received enough attention to ache when he pulled away, he moved to the other, suckling and pulling forth more sounds from her mouth as he helped build her need higher and higher. He timed it with the thrusts of his fingers and pressing of his thumb, but Natsu wasn’t the only one. 
Lucy needed more- far more than what she was given, mind altered by the steady build he was giving her inflamed body. Fingers quickly unclasped the belt as his waist, weaved around his own hands to push the hem of his pants down- finally grasping the hardness she desperately wanted to replace his fingers.
He was hard, painfully so- his movements paused when she gripped him, pumping her hand up and down while their eyes finally met with the other. A silent conversation passed between them- heavy breathing mixed between the two in the heavy air, and his hand finally slid away from her- giving opening for the swell of his head to touch against her, teasing as her hips moved to angle herself. “N-Natsu,” Lucy rasped, free hand moved to caress his face, tongue peeking out to swipe at her swollen lips, “We can take our time later, please just- “ She whined again when his hands gripped her hips in response, “Just do it!” 
Fingers flexed against her and Natsu helped with the very thing she wanted. Pressing her hips down against him, he slipped inside her, groaning from the sensation. They were together, working as one, taking only a few moments to adjust before their hips were moving together in a well-practiced rhythm that would send them higher and higher to a point they both desperately needed. 
They kissed, mouths moving sloppily together, unable to keep up with their frantic pace.  Natsu was already pent up, but he groaned in his attempts to hold back the pleasure. Not yet, not so soon, Lucy’s insides gripped him with every thrust and her mouth mimicking his own moments before, sucked the skin of his neck, licked the sweat as her own gasps and mewls echoed into the room.  “D-damn that feels so good, Lucy!”
He howled his praises and the work of his hands served their purpose, Lucy’s pleasure was already meeting the precipice she sought. Her movements stuttered and she grit her teeth, biting his skin when wave after wave of pleasure washed through her, crying out his name, Natsu finally allowed his own release- giving in to the conjoined pleasure, surging roughly inside her with every spurt of his orgasm. . 
It felt like mere seconds and an eternity had passed, panting against the other with sweaty foreheads pressed together. Lucy shuddered in the aftermath, slouching against Natsu as he held her. It was a few minutes longer before they both put together the crumpled clothes on their hips- their position on the floor and lost clothing littered around them. 
Natsu laughed first. A low, tired chuckle soon followed by Lucy's lips slowly meeting again between giggles. With weary limbs, they eventually moved to Lucy’s bed, sliding under the blankets as they kicked away the rest of their clothes. They would worry about the clean up later. 
Silence fell between them. A peaceful calm that comes between two people when they’ve finally come home: relief and contentedness filling them as Natsu pulled Lucy close against him, arms encircling her hips as she snuggled close. He pressed soft kisses against the back of her ear, and she giggled at each one, hands moved to encircle with his fingers. Despite his overdue rest through the day, Natsu felt all the worries and nerves he’d hidden beneath the surface, slide away, covering him with a different kind of exhaustion. 
It wasn’t until Lucy’s own breathing began to even, closing in on sleep, that he chose to finally answer the question she’d gave him. Another soft kiss before he nuzzled his face into her hair. 
“I missed ya way too damn much.” He admitted, practically purring into Lucy’s golden tresses. She snorted, the closest to a laugh she could come while her limbs were so tired, but squeezed his hand in response. “- how did the job go?”
Her sleepy reply came with a tilt of her head, pride swimming in her eyes, “The client was happy he requested my help and I have a new key to show for it.” Before he could ask further, she tilted herself enough to kiss the tip of his nose and fell back against her own pillows. “- talk more later, sleep now.”
Her tired plea and yawn pulled forth another laugh from Natsu, but he didn’t fight it. 
They had plenty of time to catch up. For now, he’d keep her all to himself.

Beginning of the week I post one drabble, end of the week and I post another. 🤣
This one's been sitting in my drafts for a while, ever since @fainttwinkling posted this nalu art sometime ago (which was the inspiration). And i didn't feel like scrapping it 😅
So as usual please enjoy!
Rating- T(for suggestiveness) since i'm on mobile i can't put a read more link so you young'uns keep on scrolling >_>
Lucy's head snapped up as natsu's teeth sank into the hollow of her neck.The gasp that fluttered from her throat came out strained and wanton, hardly sounding like herself as his tongue lapped at the tender skin, rocking harshly against her as his arms snuck around her bare back, hugging her close while his mouth roamed the side of her neck. A leg wrapped around his back from where it straddled his waist, rolling back on him with a smirk when he grunted. 
She never was one to back down from a challenge.
Natsu blew out a warm breath that made her shudder despite her already heated skin, hands roaming the expanse of her back, nimble fingers skating down her spine with practiced ease. He stilled if only for a second before his fingers dipped beneath the band of her skirt- the only article of clothing still on her person that was sure enough soon to go- to tease at the side of her hip. 
His heart beat in her chest as sure as he was that hers beat in his with how closely they were pressed together. Didn't quite stop Lucy from trying anymore though, splaying her fingers wide on his shoulders and greedily tugged him forward with a throaty giggle. She squirmed at the sloppy kiss he pressed at the base of her jaw, distracting her from the hand that snuck down, squeezing her thigh before grasping hungrily at her ass, the supple flesh spilling through his palm. He used his grasp to hoist her up as she slipped from his thighs. 
Natsu's hips circled Lucy's, his movements slow and deliberately so, feeding the burn in her blood. Lucy drew her nails through his hair, the soft keen he let out on her skin made her shiver excitedly. 
"You're taking this awfully slow for once." Lucy teased, taking a deep breath. "What changed when I was out of town?" 
Natsu paused, his lips pressed to her pulse point and thinned. Suddenly his grip on her tightened. Lucy frowned, glancing down at him as he buried his face in her neck, avoiding her gaze.
"Natsu...?" She asked, concerned. She tried to pull back to look at him but his grasp held Lucy in place. He mumbled something that she only felt, the words lost on her skin. But she didn't push him to say it again, smoothing her hands atop his hair instead- the unruly spikes popping back up with each passing. The heated moment calmed in the darkened room. Well, almost. Natsu shifted somewhat, drawing weak hisses from the pair. She tried again.
"Natsu? What's wrong?"
Then she saw it through the gloom, the red of his ears. 
"I... I missed you Lucy. A lot. I really did." It was strange to hear his voice so hushed, so quiet, and yet she caught the tinge of embarrassment there with little difficulty. And she could tell he meant it.
Lucy wasn't gone long, a month, maybe two, maybe three. It sure felt like that and more. Too long. The first few weeks went by quick enough with light teasings from his guildmates. But when the emptiness of her apartment became too commonplace and her scent became but a faint smattering, his shoulders started to droop. He still kept it going though, carrying on well enough. Enough to not garner worry from anyone, not even Happy.
It just never struck him how lonely it could be without her. Just her being there, her voice clear and beside him, not tinny and strange as it sounded on the lacrima. The tricks and pranks that he'd honed just for her and just, Lucy. The niche she'd dug out in his life grew without him even realizing it.
His fingers curled in her hair, cupping the back of her neck tenderly, lifting his head away from her and she would've almost laughed at his sudden awkwardness, with darkened cheeks and downcast eyes. 
"It wasn't just this i missed." Natsu continued, a softness in his voice that she rarely ever heard. He toyed with the ends of her hair. " I guess I got so used to having you around all the time that when you were gone, I just felt really lonely. And not a regular lonely, just…..something else i guess? I dunno what to call it Lucy. But i just, don't wanna feel it again."
Natsu caught her gaze at last, his eyes still dodging hers slightly but he tried for a weak pout  that didn't quite meet with the look. "Don't go on such long missions without me alright? I can't tell ya to stop but just consider it next time." 
Natsu combed his hand through Lucy's hair, the other softly rubbing circles into the side of her hip. He gnawed at his bottom lip and on instinct his hand left her side to rub at his neck, a habit she knew well enough by now from years at his side. 
Lucy reached out for him, delicately taking the embarrassed hand from his neck, twining their fingers carefully. She pressed a light kiss to his knuckle and pulled him back to her in a tight hug. Natsu blinked in surprise, his lashes tickling her collar. 
" I'd have a good amount of concerns if you didn't miss me." She joked softly, stretching out a cramped leg to his side. Natsu huffed against her. " I don't think I could describe how much I missed being home. Happy stealing all my socks, hearing everyone's crazy stories down at the guild. And you of course Natsu. With your own special brand of crazy; something new everyday."
And there it was, the feeling of lips curling on her skin in a grin, squeezing her hand a little tighter. Maybe trying to tell her something more. Something else that he didn't quite know how to voice. "The pay might've been good but I don't think long distance missions are for just me alone." Lucy continued, musing over her journey out of Fiore to Veronica, then from Veronica to Bellum. The trip had wore her out and the craving for home was a hunger that made her curl up on her bed the nights she was away, the bed feeling far too cold and empty. 
Lucy worked as best as she could with the situation, keeping an even face for the frequent calls that never felt like enough.
"I can't promise not to go on long missions anymore." Lucy murmured, pressing her face into Natsu's hair. "But next time I know for a fact I won't be going by myself. Of course my two favourite people are there with me. As long as one of them promises to not cause problems getting on the train."
Natsu snorted, pulling away from her chest, gratitude shining softly in his eyes. "I can't promise that, but I'll give it a shot."
"That's good enough for me. Now then…." Lucy wrapped her leg around his back, pulling him back to her with a quick snap of her hips. "Can we get back to business? And pick up the pace a bit?" 
Natsu bit back a groan through his grin, hand slipping from her grasp and trailed down her chest. His touch feathered over her heated skin, circling a tightened peak. "You've been away for so long and you want me to end this quick? That one I definitely can't promise."

The woman twisted weakly in his arms. Natsu maintained a firm grip on her. "Hey, it's okay Ma'am. You're safe now. There was a fire in your apartment, I'm with the Magnolia Fire Dept. Just take it easy while I get you to safety." Natsu saved Lucy from the fire, but will he be able to save her again? Inspired by the amazing art of Fainttwinkling on Tumblr, art used with permission.
