Nothing Accidental About Love (NALU)

Chapter 3 Part 1

Natsu's POV
We spent the next two days locked up in Lucy's apartment. Hungrily devouring each other in bed. Neither of us wanted anything else but each other. I think we got up once for a PB and J but otherwise only for water and a shower. We did not stop when we got into the shower. In fact we had just reached our release while in the shower when we heard knocking on the door, kind of a mood killer.

Confused we looked at each other we had another two weeks before the rent was due so it wouldn't be the landlady and neither of us were expecting company. We quickly dry off and I pull on a pair of pants while Lucy ran into the bedroom.

I answer the door, "Hello?" Before realizing it was Grey and Levy at the door. Confused why the two of them were together and further confused as to why they were here, I stepped aside letting them into the apartment.

"Hey," they greeted coming in. Grey looks at me and smirks pointing to his own neck while Levy turns a bright red looking away. I look into the mirror by the door and see that I am, again, covered in hickeys, from my neck clear down my abs all the way down to the V disappearing into my pants. I sigh and shake my head. 'oh well,' I think to myself.

"Hey Luce, it's Grey and Levy!" I call out. I motion that I will be right back and enter the bedroom to find Lucy completely dressed. Her own hickeys already healed. I point at my own and she giggles healing them. I finish dressing and we both head back into the living room where I had left the two wizards.

"I'll make some tea," Lucy happily chirps and almost floats to the kitchen. Levy close behind her, her face still as red as a cherry.

I look at Grey, "Is this better?" I move my head around showing my neck and much of my torso to him. Now that wearing all my clothes.

He grinned knowingly at me, "Yeah, to bad Levy had to see that though."

I shrug, "You guys are the ones who came over unannounced and uninvited." Grey laughed at that for some reason.

"So be honest with me," Grey looks me straight in the eyes. "Did you knock her up?"

My rage was very visible at such an awful question. Implying that the only reason I would marry her would be that we accidentally made a child. Steam had started to rise off of me as my body was slowly engulfed by my own flames.

I see Lucy run in and wrap her arms around me extinguishing the flames on impact. "Dragon Slayers are not like that," I hiss at him, venom dripping from my words.

Lucy calmly looks back at the now terrified ice mage. "Grey, Dragons and Dragon Slayers mate for life," I hear her explain calmly.

"We do not do one night stands, or 'fun' we do not 'knock' anyone up," I all but bite out at him. I try to remind myself over and over again that he is only human and he wouldn't know any of that. Trying hard to extinguish my rage.

I feel Lucy grab my chin and lift it up so that I was looking into her eyes. I feel myself calm almost unnaturally quick as I stare deep into her honey brown irises. Her eyes large, full of concern but steady as she took me into her arms.

I sigh, finally calm again I smile at her. "What do you do to me, my queen?" I ask as I rub noses with her and nuzzeling into her neck. She just giggles.

"What the hell was that!?!" Grey exclaims. "Your flames were blue, and you were, hell you were floating!"

"Awww you were controlling yourself that much? I'm so proud of you! You kept it to only blue" Lucy exclaimed hugging me closer. I smile and relax deeper.

I look at Grey and begin, "Marriage is a human custom, not a Dragon's." I let that sink in before continuing, "Lucy is mine and mine alone. Our marks," I pause pointing at our necks, "Prove that we are bound by ancient, powerful magic. The wedding is only charade to appease our human sides." My voice low but soft as I purr, gently holding Lucy.
