Ember ↠ Natsu Dragneel

Chapter Sixteen

C A M R Y N

We slowly make our way through the forest, Richard barely able to stand, though still insisting he's ok. His voice is down to a whisper, barely able to be heard. By the time we get to the guild, we're basically holding him, having to practically carry him to the infirmary. "Richard, lie down." He obeys, now being quiet. 

 We leave on Wendy's command, standing outside as we wait for her to heal him. I hope he's ok. He has to be ok. Gray puts an arm around me, pulling me into a side hug as he warmly smiles at me, and I give a small smile back. "So, how are you doing?" I shrug, feeling him pull me closer, pretty much making me lean on him.

 "Can you keep him safe?" I mutter, feeling hug me a bit tighter, twirling my hair a bit. "Of course." I start to get a bit uncomfortable. "I'd prefer it if you had a shirt on..." He chuckles a bit, smirking. "I'd prefer if you didn't." I move away, putting my hands up a bit.

 "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Is Natsu's response, glaring at the other. "What? I'm meant to be honest, and she's hot." I feel Natsu grab my arm, pulling me into his chest. "She's mine. Got that?!" He glares at him, while Gray just smiles back unfazed. "Well, I think she's hot. You can't hate me for my opinion." Grey smirks, Natsu growling. "Oh, I can!" He walks away, Gray blowing a kiss to me while trying not to laugh as Natsu drags me out, going back to our apartment.

"You're jealous, aren't you?"

"Jealous. Me. No." 

I rolled my eyes at him playfully and crossed my arms over my chest. Oh, Lord, he was cute. He was dimmer than a broken lightbulb, but he was cute.

"You know you're my favourite right?"

"I better be."

I laughed kissing his cheek. I moved my head closer to Natsu. He sits frozen, from both fear and excitement. I lean in, so my forehead rests against his. We close their eyes. Both our breaths are shaking. "Thank you," I say in barely more than a whisper.

"For what?" He replies, his voice low and husky.

"For being you." My voice wavers, exhilarated from the tension between them.
I gently lean in and kisses Natsu's warms lips. We pull apart and take shaky, shallow breaths. Unable to contain ourselves anymore, Natsu holds my head in his hands and pulls me into a fiery and passionate kiss. His hands work their way around my body, feeling each crevasse, each line along with her perfect physique.

I lie on my back as he matches my body's form. Natsu's hands venture over my curved body, exploring. We pull apart and open our eyes. We stare at each other, deep into each other's eyes. Natsu's full of wonder and love, mine full of curiosity and passion. No words are spoken but a story worthy of us is communicated.

He leans in and softly kisses up and down my neck. I let out little whimpers of anticipation. He works his way back to my tender, smooth lips. As we kiss I roll him over and lie on top of his strong, muscular body. I run his lips up to his neck and lands a loving and intense kiss on his lips.

"I love you," I stated bluntly, causing the boy to blush and smile.

He told he felt the same way and as he pressed another kiss to my cheek.
