Natsu had packed some swimsuits lucy and him would wear not too long ago and sneaked them with him as they came to finish this mission. Natsu wanted to get to go on a mission again with Lucy, but also wanted to have a romantic evening with her to show how much he loved her. So that's how he came up with project 'first mission/honeymoon'.
Him and lucy had their stuff in his old camping backpack he would carry around with him when he barely met lucy. He didn't use it much now since he was married, had a kid(s) and wasn't going on many missions as before. But now he brought his bag back once again as he finished cleanning all the dirty windows him and lucy began first with their mission.
"Hey lucy,"
"Yes? What is it now natsu??"
*natsu pulled out of his short pocket some lingerie that looked like underwear at first glance but Lucy realized what it was… it was her bathing suit which made her blush.*
"I brought our bathing suits so we can enjoy the beach a bit. I got my swimming trunks on already, let's go for a swim quick luce!"
*natsu smiled as he gave Lucy the bathing suit but she blushed a faded pink now as she got a sad face grow now.*
"Hey hey hey, what's wrong now lucy? Did I do something wrong again?"
" no natsu you didn't do anything wrong. It's something that I'm dealing with myself though."
*lucy sat down on a big stone while natsu wrapped his arms around her waist to comfort her someway*
"Lucy? Tell me what's wrong why are you so sad on a beautiful day like today and on our first mission after Nashi?"
"*sigh* natsu, after having Nashi… something in my body changed… I don't mind the change though since it's normal after having a baby but… I'm self conscious about it now"
*lucy confessed to natsu who still didn't know what she meant. So he did what he always thought would fix anything he wasn't sure of and grabbed Lucy's hand. He bulldozed through the better looking spa now as they entered a changing room that was vacant and closed for repairs. Before lucy could ask or protest to natsu, natsu stripped her from her shirt and shorts she had in which earned her a surprise yell but blushed as she saw him staring at her somewhat covered body now.*
Lucy stood infront of him in only a bra and underwear that she always wore. He noticed some few lines running up and down Lucy's lower abdomen as well as some new curves on her hips that begged him to pinch or grab them. But chose to control himself as he asked her finally.
"Luce? What are all these marks?"
"They are Stretch marks, I got them as my belly grew with Nashi inside.. they are permanent and are not going awa- NATSU WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?"
*natsu kneeled down as to look at the marks closer and tugged Lucy's underwear down a little, he ran a line against her marks as it fascinated him that they felt like dents. Suddenly he had an idea as he stood back up and took of his shirt and shorts leaving him in just his underwear too.*
"NATSU WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!"
"Relax… I'm not doing anything inappropriate, haha your still so dirty minded lucy kekeke…"
This earned natsu a blow on his head from Lucy's back heel as she once again summoned her old lucy kick. He rubbed his head from the numbed pain as he sheepishly smiled at lucy, finally he stood up again in his underwear as he pulled down the band a bit on his left side to show her the full scar on his hip he got from fighting future rogue. Lucy knew about this scar but didn't quite know why he was showing it to her fulling now, he reached out to her hand and brought her fingertips to touch his hip where the old scar was. It felt kinda like her stretch marks but was a much bigger scar then hers. Finally she got the pint natsu was trying to show her but before she can tell him something, he tilted her head up by her chin with his free hand and brought her close so both of there bodies felt each other's textures.
"Luce, it doesn't matter to me if you get marks or scars… as long as you are still you, I will never doubt or change my feelings for you. Plus, I have scars too.. and you don't seem to dislike those…. So look up, and stand proud of these…*he grazed his fingers against her marks again as he touched them gently with his hot fingers.* because you made our Nashi, for 9 months you carried our beautiful daughter and went through so much… this to me, are precious memories of when I used to hug you at night and kiss you belly every moment I got… *natsu ducked his head into her neck as he hugged her now and whispered* … I love you so much luce, and whatever shape you take, I will support and stand behind you no matter what…"
Natsu finally ended his speech with a sweet kiss on Lucy's head as he raise his head then gently began a soft, slow kiss on her lips.. lucy never felt such words from natsu and actions, she feels like she has fallen in love with him all over again. She deepened the kiss which surprised natsu but just let her do whatever she wanted today, as they began to get heated and more serious a sudden sound was heard as they flinched and pushed each other away.
"Oh…. Hello? Sorry'' I was just bringing the materials to begin repairing the changing room yaa? And I didn't know you two where, having a 'moment'… I let you keep kissing then! I'm in no rush to finish the spa yet so take your time yaa!"
*liddan left without sparing a second of letting natsu and Lucy to explain themselves as they felt their burning moment finally wash away with the sudden cold air they didn't notice before.*
"Ah? When did it get so cold? And is that the sunset? It looks so pretty.."
"Heh.. yeah, well I guess we won't be able to change into out swimsuits today then.."
*natsu frowned with his best puppy frown as Lucy giggled and ruffled his messy hair.*
"Maybe tomorrow… wait, tomorrow, NATSU WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GO BACK TO NASHI TOMORROW!!"
"Shush relax luce.. I already made arrangements for 1 week, this was supposed to be a easy mission that was gonna be done in 1 day and the rest… I was hoping to get some time with you to mysel.."
*natsu looked away as he folded his arms across his bare chest and pouted. Natsu liked making surprises to Lucy but always didn't like telling her who had done it or admitting to doing it for his selfish reasons. It was just like how back then he already was growing feelings for her and when he heard she was sick on the day the guild was going to go see the rainbow trees, he dug up a massive tree to sail it down the river where her apartment was but never admitted it that it was him who did it. He didn't need to since lucy found out it was him because he was the only one who knew she was sick.*
"Natsu… *she blushed as she remembers the little things that he would do to surprise her and experiencing it again was never gonna grow old on her..* … *sigh* … okay we will stay for the week but are you sure Nashi will be alright? Are you that confident we will finish the cleaning by the end of the week?"
"Lucy, I'm confident. Plus the spa doesn't look too bad, we just need to give it a good scrub, fix the floor and it will look good as new."
*natsu grabbed Lucy's shoulder guiding her out of the changing rooms after getting dressed again and walking out.*
"Ok ok *giggle* I'll trust you natsu, I'll always trust you.."
*natsu gave out a smile once again as he placed his hands behind his head groaning that he was hungry as they walk down the street to where they would spend the night at a inn.*
