Lucy and the Definitive... Cat?

Drunk Sex Confession

They managed to stumble back to Lucy's apartment, the effects of the Underworld Spiced wine playing with Mard's head. He had no idea that one of Fairy Tail's members collected demonic souls or that she was kind to them. Mira was a lovely den mother and bar maiden to the Guild, she had recognized Mard as a demon on impact.

He had been leery of her, but she laughed and said she knew all about him because of her partner, Cana. They had spent some quiet time talking around the bar with her telling him much about Lucy. She also plowed him with warm wine, knowing that only a demonic liquor could have any effect on him. That had only been the start of his night of drunkenness and getting to know more about Lucy's life outside of just what he saw as a cat.

Mard had been warmly welcomed by Fairy Tail, more so after Natsu got there and after a bit of rough housing, the wine had taken its full effect. It had loosened his lips and he talked openly and candidly about everything. That was when Natsu insisted that he join the guild and they made a pledge to each other.

A pledge his fuzzy mind was set on making real. That the two struggling men would finally trust in nature that it was time to mate. Mard would take his Queen, his little Rosebud and Natsu would finally set off to go capture Meredy. That was how Natsu got thrown out through the door, help him on his way.

Lucy pulled on his hand as she guided him through the dark apartment towards the bedroom. Mard swallowed hard, feeling the wine start to leave his system. Was he truly going to do this?

She stopped at the edge of the pink bed and flopped back on it, letting out a breath of air. "Ugh, tomorrow is going to suck."

Mard chuckled and crossed the distance before climbing up the bed and caging Lucy under him. She was perfection to look at the mixture of moonlight and streetlight dancing on her skin and those eyes of hers sparkled of their own magic. Lucy's face was flush, and the scent of fruity drinks was heavy on her breath but still she smiled at him.

"Why?" he asked.

She turned her head, "hangover. Wow, Mard how are we still standing?" she asked with a quiet giggle.

"We are not, you are laying down," he replied.

"You win," Lucy reached up, letting her fingers trace an outline of the guild mark on his chest, "I can't believe you did that."

"Wherever you are, I want to be too, Rosebud."

"Why Rosebud?"

Mard dipped his head down and kissed her cheek, "because you are beautiful when you bloom." Lucy took in a sharp breath before he captured her lips in a searing kiss. His tongue delved into her mouth, curling around hers and tasting more of that fruity liquor. She hummed as her arms wrapped around his neck, bringing Mard down to lay on top of her body.

He pulled back, looking at her again before gently touching her cheek, "I desire you." She opened her mouth and he pressed a finger against her kiss swollen lips, "it has a different and similar meaning to a demon."

Lucy kissed his fingertip and spoke around it, "I love you."

Mard blinked, "l-love me?"

She hiccupped, "yeah, only took 120 proof of courage to say it." He froze for a moment as she spoke again, "you should see your face."

"You will forget this in the morning," he replied, ready to take himself off the bed and consider this a bad idea. Mard should not have made such a deal with Natsu but to look at her...

"Nope, can't forget," Lucy took his hand and placed it over her heart, "feel that?" Mard nodded, "it beats your name," – hiccup – "Ma-rd." She kept whispering his name in tune to her heartbeat, it beat faster the longer he stayed there looking into her eyes. Lucy's eyes fluttered and he could see that she was going to pass out, if he didn't do something.
