Day 3: Flirtatious

"Natsu... put me do-" He hushed me and kissed my cheek. "Don't worry hun, you're okay here with me." It felt comforting to hear him say that, but still weird since he was talking so smoothly unlike his normal tone.

"uh... yeah.. so uh, when are you gonna put me down?" He smiled, "Whenever you want me to precious." I cringed at the nickname and tone. "yeah uhm, now would be good thanks." I said somewhat nicely. He simply nodded and set me down.

"So, what do you wanna do?" I gave Master a quick wave and turned around to face Natsu again. "Uhm, icee's sound nice!" He nodded and held my waist, pulling me closer to him. I sighed quietly, he didn't notice.

-Time Skipu-

We arrived at the stand not to long after. "What flavor would you like?", ugh, gentlemen Natsu SUCKS. MY Natsu would've said it in his normal voices/tone, MY Natsu would've smiled like an idiot, not like some billionaire trying to win over a princess on a date! "Blueberry." The man nodded and began to fill up my cup. "I wish they had your flavor." Natsu whispered in my ear. I shivered and blushed at the same time, creepy. "N-Natsu..."

"You sir?" Natsu looked up to man. "Blueberry as well." The man nodded and passed me my icee before turning to fill another cup. "Is it good hun?" I nodded as my lips slid off my METAL (save the turtles dudes) straw.
He smirked, but not one of Natsu's normal, cheeky smirks, more of a seductive one, his eyes staring at my lips. "Here you go sir. 20 jewels please." Natsu nodded and handed him the jewels, i dunno where he got them from though, 'sorta just appeared from air. "Thanks Natsu." Natsu kept on smirking, before drinking from his cup.

I completely forgot that this was the phase that they're meant to mate with their- well... mate.
It's still pretty weird to me though, i'd rather go on a normal date with normal Natsu. He's the only guy i've ever really fallen so deeply in love with, and still felt so comfortable around. So, i'd rather have our first time when he's normal and thinking straight, instead of this flirty doofus.

"Lucy.." I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to face him. "hm?"

"Your lips are a bit blue haha, maybe i can kiss it away?" My eyes widened. And i'd rather have our first kiss with him normal as well. "N-No... I-It's okay...." I continued to sip from my cup, not taking my lips off, to scared to in case he tried to catch me off guard.

It felt so weird. It felt wrong. I don't like these phases. They're not Natsu. It feels like i'm going out with some random guy who flirts to much! It felt the same with the past two phases. It feels like i've been cheating on Natsu with random guys, even though

1. We're not dating
and 2: it's still technically him.

"Natsu, let's go home yeah?" He smiled, very very weirdly, more like seductively, and raised an eyebrow, "Sure." Oh goDDD.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As we walked out, he kept rubbing my side, going lower and lower until he was at my hip. When i looked up, I realized we still had all. day. No way in hell are we going home! "On second thought, let's go to the park..." He stared at me in shock for a second, "But what about home?" I rubbed my shoulder, "Uhm, i kinda feel like uh, getting some uh f-fresh air." He frowned and grabbed my butt. "I get that, but why get air when i can have you moaning, screaming, and panting like crazy?" He whispered in a teasing voice as i yelped. "N-No Natsu, we're going to the park RIGHT NOW." I was so flustered and scared that i stormed my way to the park. I heard him growl, but i still continued walking.

~~~

"Lucy, can we go hom-" We had been at the park for about two hours, i played in it of course, but he didn't want to be there. "Hold onnn! I wanna play sumore!" I said as i hung on the monkey bars. He did that "Tch." thing and kissed my sweaty cheek. "Fine, but only for you love." I smiled and hugged him, but he didn't seem to mind the sweat. "Thank youuu!"

~~~

Two more hours passed by, and that's when Natsu had it. Luckily it was beginning to turn sunset. "Lucy my love, let's go home okay? I think you need a shower love." He said as he kissed my forehead. I smiled and nodded.

but wait...

should we take a wagon or walk?

if we take a wagon, he'll get sick which means we won't mate, but the what if he gets better quicker? What if he wakes up in the middle of the night and tries to mate with me?!

if we walk, we'll get there later, but it'd be night by then, and i do need to shower, so he'll think we'll mate in the shower! oh god oh god oh god-

"LETS TAKE A WAGON." Natsu stared at me in shock, "Sorry hun, but wagons get me sick, let's just wa-" I put on my BEST puppy face and sighed, "for mee? pleasee?.." His eyes widened as he laughed, "I suppose." He kissed my temple and i mentally cheered.

~~~

"eerggh.." Natsu groaned as he laid on my lap.
I managed to flag down the worst possible wagon, very bumpy, very slow, and very shaky.
"Sorry back ther-" "ITS OKAY! THANK YOU VERY MUCH THOUGH!" I said with a proud smile. This should have him out of the mood for the rest of the night!

It took two hours to get home- two is my lucky number now!- and Natsu puked a few times, though it only made him feel sicker. "L-Lucy.. wh-en... a-are we....gon...uggh... gonna.. ge-t the-re..?" I smiled, now THIS is my Natsu. "We're already here id-.." right, we can't call them names.. "id-... dummbo jumbo.." ew, i can't believe i just said that. He laughed weakly as i set him down on my couch. He passed out in .2 seconds.

~~~

"Hi Lucy!! Is everything okay? Did you guys ma-"

"No Mira, we did not mate, he's sleeping, but in a very painful way."

"Painful?"

"We took a horrible wagon back home, so he's sick as hell."

"Ooohh!! That's smart Lucy!! I just put sleeping dust Laxus' tea!! He didn't realize though, anyway, tomorrow morning at 4:30 am, we're gonna meet up at the guild.."

"But why? Wouldn't it be safer to just stay-"

"Well, not exactly, if we do stay, who KNOWS what they'll do! So just leave a simple note, and make sure to be quiet, like your life depends on it.. cause it does..."

"WHA-"

"Anywayyy~ I'm gonna go now!-"

"Wait! Mira-"

"Byee!!"

Stupid Mira! Why would she say that and NOT try to answer my questions?! I DIDNT EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO ASK ANY!!

I turned to check my clock.

12:07

Phew! Natsu should still be sick, now's a good time to head to bed. I already washed up and changed into my pajamas. I quickly told myself to wake up at 4:00, 20 times, cause that's how i usually wake myself up, and fell asleep.

"Huh?!-... oh... i'm back here again-.." I looked down and saw Nats- him, laying next to me on ground. Ugh, even as a half dragon does he still leave me standing to sleep!

I looked around, i'm not sure why, and thought of what i should probably do. There wasn't anything that i could do, all i could do was just listen to soft breathing of his.

"..Y-..." Should i wake him up?.. i'm not sure..

"I know you're awake.."

"EEK! Y-YOURE AWAKE?!" He stretched and nodded, "Then why'd you fake sleep?!?" He shrugged and stood up.

Sh¡t, i forgot just how tall he was, i guess in his dragon form, he's a bit taller.

"Say my name."

"What?"

"Say my name."

I blinked, my eyes still glued to his. "Why?" His sharp eyes glanced to the side for a moment, before turning back to mine. "B'cause you keep calling me "You" and stuff, when i have an actual name. So say my name." I got the chills from his monotone voice. "I don't know your real nam-" He growled, his sharp teeth showing. "You've known me for years now Lucy, don't go saying that to me."

I felt a rush of fear consume me. "But you're not him... You're not Natsu.. Natsu wouldn't do this, not even to me..." I looked down, "at least... not in a serious way.." I said, giggling a bit. Natsu would probably just chain me to a wall on a funny way. I can already imagine it. 

***
"Huh?! WHY AM I HERE?!"

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!"

"NATSU PUT ME DOWN!!"

"HAHAHAHHA- *CHOKE, COUGH COUGH COUGH* AH AHAHAHAHAHAH."
***

"I am Natsu, i'm just a different form, his real form." I frowned and shook my head, "But you're not. Natsu said so himself, he's not a dragon or a demon..." His eyes widened as i finished my sentence, "He's Natsu."

!!....oh right, i had to wake up early and go to the guild.

~~~

I managed to get ready in total silence, and i even arrived at the guild at 4:30 exactly! "Mira?"

"Lucy! You're here! Now then... it's time..." I stood paralyzed when i realized just what they were planning to do... "w-we're gonna..."
Mira nodded, "Yep. It's the only way Lucy." Meredy smiled as Mira smirked.

These smartasses.
