Hey everybody! It's alaskaDOWNFALL here, but please, call me Ali ;3
Anyway, I'm so excited to start this project I've been wanting to make for a while. My goal is to write about 100 one-shots about Natsu and Lucy. There will be some bonus one-shots about other couples, but my focus will be on NaLu so I can complete my goal. Besides, they're my absolute favorite couple3
I got a little carried away as far as the length goes, but it's pretty much just some Nalu fluff that I thought the fanbase needed 8D I'm not sure if I like this one or not, but it's good for now. Review if you would like and keep checking back for more if you like what you have read so far!
Here's my first one-shot and let's hope I will be able to make it all the way to 100 8D
Summary: Natsu never noticed how good Lucy smelled until now.
Couple: Nalu.
Rated: T
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. If I did, then Natsu and Lucy would already be a couple 3
Lucy sighed softly, resting her chin on the palm of her right hand as her elbow rested on the counter in front of her. Mirajane stood behind the bar as she cleaned the glasses and plates while eying Lucy with a hint of worry. Setting down the glass she had been cleaning, Mira leaned against the bar and smiled at the mage before her.
"Is something wrong, Lucy?" The take over mage asked the sighing blonde while picking up another dirty glass to clean. Lucy looked into the blue eyes of Mira and smiled at the older girl before answering her question.
"Nope, everything is fine. I'm just a little bored without Natsu and Gray around," She replied before hearing the doors to the guild burst open. The sudden noise caused the celestial spirit mage to turn around in her chair and look for the source of all the commotion. Upon seeing just who had made such a loud entrance, she smiled and waved at the two males standing in the doorway. She barely had time to react before a ball of blue fur rushed at her, earning a light laugh from her. She returned Happy's embrace and stroked his head as he released her to curl up in her lap. Lucy smiled down at him as she heard his soft little purrs before being joined by the two mages that had been at the door a few minutes ago.
"Hey, Luce!" Natsu called as he walked over to the blonde and their furry blue friend, Gray trailing behind him. The ice mage waved at Lucy and she returned the wave with a wide, cheerful smile. Mira giggled and returned to cleaning the dirty glasses while Cana and Macao tried to catch the barmaid's attention, wanting more beer.
"Hey guys, where have you been? The guild has been so quiet without you guys, unless you consider Cana and Macao screaming about beer" Lucy laughed, looking over at the drinking buddies at one of the tables in the center of the guild. The two drunk mages were giggling like middle school girls and Lucy couldn't help but smile at their drunken antics. Gray, however, caught her attention when he took the seat next to her before starting to join the conversation.
"We were fishing with Happy all day, but we didn't catch anything. It wasn't so bad though. I got to relax for a bit without flame head here wanting to punch my guts out," Gray said lazily, earning a scowl from Natsu.
"Shut up, droopy eyes" Natsu called out, annoyed with the flame head comment. Gray glared at Natsu and got to his feet, earning a curious look from Lucy. The blonde was about to say something when a voice caught her attention.
"Lu-chan! When are you going to be finished with the latest chapter of your book? I've been looking forward to it all week!" Levy cried, rushing to Lucy's side as she held her drink firmly in her hand. Natsu and Gray ignored the blue haired girl and started throwing punches at each other. Levy, Mira, and Lucy merely watched while chatting quietly with each other, ignoring the insults Natsu and Gray were screaming at each other.
"GIVE UP ALREADY, ASSWIPE!" Natsu yelled, punching Gray in the stomach. The ice mage groaned out of pain and glared at Natsu, recovering quickly enough to throw a punch that hit Natsu square in the jaw. A sickening crack filled the now silent guild as the three females gasped at the noise. Lucy placed her hands over her mouth at the sight she saw, finding the scene to be slightly disturbing.
"Gray, what did you do?" Lucy cried out, placing a sleeping Happy on the bar before getting out of her seat to check on Natsu. The salmon haired fire mage was on the ground, her right hand holding the right side of his face as he tried to talk. She bent over him and gently removed his warm hand from his jaw, noticing the slight bruising that was starting to form. She also noticed the way his jaw popped out more than the left side, causing her to frown out of concern. Helping him sit up, she spotted Wendy and Charle making their way over to the teens.
"Would you like me to heal his jaw, Lucy-san?" She questioned softly, watching the pained eyes of Natsu while Lucy tried to calm him down. It was then that he noticed a sweet aroma in the air. It smelled like vanilla, almond, and cherry blossoms but it had a soft smell to it. He sniffed around before his black eyes landed on Lucy as she knelt in front of him to hold his jaw still while Wendy used her Sky magic to heal the fractured jaw bone. The heavenly scent was coming from the blonde mage as she made sure he didn't move until Wendy was done.
A good half an hour passed until Wendy was fully done with healing his jaw bone. She was unable to fully fix the bone, but she had sped up the healing process so his jaw would be good as new in about a week. He could, however, talk and yell like normal it would just hurt a bit. He didn't really mind the pain though. Instead, he was focusing on the irresistible scent of his feminine partner. After he had been healed, he had joined her at the bar to chat with her and Mira before Lucy had said she was going to head out.
He waited for about ten minutes before finally leaving the guild, having downed a few drinks with Cana and Gray before going. Now here he was, standing in front of Lucy's apartment. He smiled slightly and jumped in through the open window, breathing in the sweet smell that just screamed Lucy. He had been in the house for a few seconds before hearing the blonde scream as she swatted at him with her hands, thinking he was a total stranger.
"Ow, Luce, that hurts!" He whined before forcing her hands away from him. She whispered a light sorry before turning around to close the window he had climbed in through. He smiled and snuck up behind her, wrapping his muscular arms around her thin waist. She let out a small squeak and looked over her shoulder to see Natsu's cute grin. She smiled back and he felt her relax in his arms as he rested his head on her shoulder. He inhaled her scent and smiled again, happy to have her in his arms.
"Hey, Luce?" He asked.
"Hm?"
"You smell good," He grinned at her before feeling her turn around in his arms so they were face to face. She smiled at him and he couldn't help but stare into those deep brown eyes of hers. Brushing back a piece of blonde hair that had fallen in her face, he let his hand linger on her cheek as a light blush showed on her already rosy cheeks. Tilting her face up towards his, she pressed a soft kiss on his lips. He didn't know what was going on until he felt her lips on his and as she wrapped her arms around his neck to deepen the kiss, he found himself bringing her closer to his warm body by pulling her hips to his. She smiled against his lips as she pressed up against him.
Their kiss was passionate and Lucy found herself wishing they didn't have to break for air. Natsu found it disappointing to end their first kiss so early, but soon his lips found hers again and they were once again pressing against each other. Lucy parted her mouth a bit and Natsu ran his tongue along her bottom teeth, earning a soft moan from the blonde. Their tongues wrestled until they had to break for air, resting their foreheads against each other while they caught their breath.
Natsu's hot breath tickled her nose and she found herself panting while smiling at his cute grin. He pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around the small of her back, embracing her while placing a light kiss at the nape of her neck. She shivered in his arms from the contact his lips had made with her neck and she placed a soft kiss on his cheek before looking into his black eyes and grinning.
"That was…" She had started, trailing off with her sentence while her cheeks turned rosy from both Natsu's warmth and their passionate kisses.
"Amazing," He had finished, grinning like an idiot while she giggled softly at his word choice before nodding in agreement. They broke apart and sat cuddled together on the couch, Lucy reading a book while Natsu played with her silky blonde hair. He inhaled her scent and sighed, for he had never noticed how good she truly smelled.
