Natsu's Mistake

Natsu and Happy laughed as they recalled something that happened between Jet and Droy that afternoon. They were sad Lucy missed the hilarious scene, so they hurried to her house, hoping to catch her there, and Natsu secretly hoped he could sleep in her bed for a little bit. He always felt better after a nap enveloped by the smell of her sheets.

Just as he was getting ready to jump onto the window (his normal means of entering her house) he heard strange noises from inside, two voices in the midst of a heated argument. Then there was a crash.

"Loke, stop!" he heard Lucy shout. "I already told you, no."

"Come on, Lucy. Please," Loke begged with predatory tones. "You know how much I've always wanted to do it with you."

Happy pouted and tugged on Natsu's sleeve. "Maybe we should come back later. They sound busy."

Natsu's brow tightened as he heard the shouting inside. It was none of his business, but this sounded different from Lucy's normal fights with Loke.

"You wanna try it, don't you, Lucy?" the Zodiac Lion urged. "You'll love the taste."

"Hey, stop it already," she yelled. "Put that away! I said I don't want to."

"You don't even know how fun it can be."

"It's not like this is my first time."

"Not your first...when?" Loke shouted furiously. "With whom?"

"It doesn't matter. Oh, and I'm confiscating that."

"What! Give it back. You devious little vixen..."

"Kyaaaaa!" Lucy shrieked, then she laughed. "Stop, stop, that tickles. Hey! No! No, not there. Loke, I'm serious stop. Let go of my shirt. What are you...? No!" she shouted in fear. There was a crash, then a sound of a soft thump and grunt, like Lucy hit something. "Ow, you idiot, that hurt. Stop. Loke, get...get off of me. Stop it already. You're hurting me."

Natsu felt his blood boiling. How dare that playboy touch his Lucy! Nobody hurt his Lucy. Happy looked up to him in worry. He saw Natsu's fists already tightening until the veins bulging out and his teeth gritting until the small fangs ground into the bottom jaw. Natsu looked ready to leap in there and fight.

"Let go of me! No means no!"

"I bet you'd do it with Natsu. Wouldn't you?"

"Well, I...I guess," she said timidly.

Natsu could barely hear her from where he was standing. Still, he heard enough, and the tension in his jaw loosened until his mouth dropped open. 'She guesses? Does that mean she would...do it...with me?'

"See," Loke shouted. "You'd do it with him, you'd do it with Gray, and I bet you'd even do it with Cana or Mira."

"Cana's not into that, but I did...experiment a little...with Mira."

Natsu's eyes bugged. Experimenting? And with sweet Mira of all people?

"Did Mira's taste good?"

"I guess so. Sorta sweet."

"A woman like her...it'd be a hundred times better with me. It'd be way more fun for you, trust me."

"But with you there's the possibility of...hey, quit it! You'll rip my blouse."

"Please Lucy, just lift up your shirt, be a good girl, and let me at it. You'll like it too, I promise. I know what I'm doing. I'm an expert at this sort of thing."
