Sensory Overload

Chapter 18

Everyone was gathered at the kitchen table discussing the plan of action. Natsu had gone back to the guild to give Levy a message and to bring Bixlow back, along with a few dozen boxes of pizza for dinner. While he was gone Lucy and Meredy had a nice little chat about what happened due to the Sensory Link. The link was unceremoniously removed all while Cana just hung out in her kitchen drinking more wine. Now that everything was cleared up they got down to planning Lucy and Natsu's revenge on the meddlesome she-devil matchmaker and stuffing themselves silly with pizza.

"Bixlow, are you clear on what your job is?" Lucy asked as she reviewed her notes.

"Ya Cosplay - get Laxus to go out drinking with me at the HalfCocor Bar tomorrow. Also, talk to Freed and spread the message about meeting here tomorrow night." Lucy added, "DON'T let Mira catch wind of the meeting."

"Cana, all good?" Lucy asked again to confirm and compare with her notes written.

"Ya sweet cheeks talk to the guys about the plan and tell them to meet here tomorrow night at some point. Oh and fill any nosy ladies in on the plan and swear them to secrecy." Lucy nodded in agreement.

"Meredy, you're OK with this plan right?" Lucy questioned as she wrote an additional note in her notebook.

"Yes, I will hang out at the HalfCocor tomorrow night and stay out of sight."

Lucy glanced at Natsu "Natsu?"

"Ya ya, stay out of trouble and make sure Happy is busy with a cooking lesson from Mira tomorrow night."

Lucy could sense his growing impatience. She could tell he wanted some alone time with her and it was starting to make him grumpy. She walked over to him leaning over to whisper in his ear "later I promise" then she went and bit his neck lightly. That seemed to improve his mood slightly.

Bixlow and Cana both saw the little scene play out and both whistled the classic cat call in their direction. Lucy just shot them a glare.

There was a knock at the door and Lucy knew who it was immediately. She ran to the door and opened it greeting Levy with a big hug "Levy! I'm glad you could make it, come sit down - pizza is on the counter if you're hungry."

Levy walked in and was surprised to see both Bixlow and Meredy sitting at the table eating and chatting idly. "Thanks, Lu, what is going on exactly?" Lucy smiled at her brightly "I need your help tomorrow night, sit and we'll explain it all."

Lucy gave her blue haired bestie the details of the plan. Levy finished up eating and smiled at the plan "I'll be more than happy to help out. She's tried meddling in my business for quite a while now."

It was still a decent hour when everyone left, Lucy was cleaning up the dozens of dishes in and around her sink when she felt warm arms snake around her waist. She felt Natsu's body press against her tightly as he whispered into her ear "This is so boring Luce."

That was all she needed for her body to react amorously, however, Lucy's desire for a clean apartment gave her the willpower to ignore it. She was thankful the link did not exist anymore, if she felt his arousal along with her own burgeoning one, the kitchen simply would not get cleaned. "This may be boring, but it is necessary, why don't you help."

Natsu's fingers started inching their way under the fabric of her shirt, caressing her bare skin. Whispering again into her ear "Tomorrow is just as good, mess ain't goin' anywhere."

Ignoring the shiver felt at the base of her spine, she wiggled against him and pushed out her rear end to back him away, "Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."

Natsu grabbed her firmly back to his body, nipping her ear, "Ya, like you said, don't leave until later what I want to DO right now.", the word 'do' was emphasized with a grind of his hips into her ass.
