Day 0
Lisanna's POV:
I had just come back from a mission to eliminate some bandits with Elf-niichan when I went to talk to Mira near the bar counter.
"Back already, Lisanna?" She asked with a smile.
"It was pretty easy, they were real pushovers" I answered noticing there was a banner above the drinks behind Mira. "Hey Mira-nee, what's that behind you?"I asked.
"Oh this? It's just a banner I set up for Natsu's birthday" She answered.
"N-NATSU'S WHAT?"I screamed.
"Natsu's birthday, you of all people should know its tomorrow" She scolded.
"Damn it, Edo Natsu's birthday was completely different from this Natsu, I got them mixed up"
"Don't worry, Natsu's been happier than ever since you came back from Edolas, I bet he would be happy to just have you with him" She said.
I blushed as she said this, it was true that when they were kids they were best friends and when she came back to the real guild both of us were really happy and I've always had a crush on him, but unfortunately he seemed to like Lucy more than her now.
"I should still get him a present, it's the least I can do" I said.
"The least you could his tell him how you really feel about him" She said with a mischievous grin.
"Don't say those things, Mira-nee" I said blushing even more.
"I'm just saying you should be truthful about your feelings"
I sighed, she always says things like that. "Where is Natsu anyway?"
"He's out on a mission right now"
We both looked to the side to see the master sitting on the counter.
"That's right" Mira said. "He took a mission this morning. I think he should arrive tomorrow by lunch time"
"That's more than enough time to get him a present" I said with a determined look. "Bye Mira, bye master"
After visiting some stores I found the perfect present, I bought to small pendants, they were a matching set and both of them had a fire lacrima inside of them. I would give him one and keep the other since he is a fire dragon slayer he enjoys the warmness it provides and I would be reminded of him whenever I would wear it.
Even though Natsu had Lucy I really wished we could spend time together like the old days, why do I have to be jealous? I kept thinking.
"Maybe I should just listen to Mira-nee" I whispered to myself and sighed, I needed to stop that, he likes Lucy I thought to myself.
"But it wouldn't be that bad to spend time with him" I whispered once more.
It was already midnight and I still couldn't sleep I couldn't stop thinking about him and every time I did I would remember Lucy, why did she have to be with him I thought angrily.
It's not fair I thought, it was really not fair, everybody thought I had died and they had to move on. Maybe if I hadn't gone to Edolas things could have been differently, but I can't really blame Lucy for that.
At this point I was tears were already falling and before crying myself to sleep one last thought circled through my head.
Natsu…
Day 1
Morning finally came and we were making the final adjustments for Natsu's party, almost everyone in the guild was there with the exception of Gildarts, who was on a solo mission like the Raijinshuu, Erza and Gray who had gone to take care of some bandits along with Juvia who insisted she would go with Gray, like also Gajeel and Levy had gone on a 'couples vacation' like they called it for over a week, more like an excuse to get in each other's pants.
But I was excited none the less I could finally spend time with Natsu even if everybody was also there but I didn't really care all that mattered is that I could be with him so I just waited until he arrived.
I waited…
And waited…
And waited, but he never came.
"Where is he?" asked Lucy.
"Master, isn't he supposed to be here already?" asked Mira.
"Don't worry, it's Natsu he's probably just late because he had to come by train" master answered with what seemed like an honest smile but everybody knew better.
"Master, you shouldn't lie to us" I said.
"W-what are you t-talking about?" He stuttered.
"Master if something happened to Natsu please tell us" Mira said.
Master seemed to stop and ponder our request which only added to our suspicions.
"Fine, follow me" He said gesturing for us to follow him.
He led us through the path to Natsu's house which I knew all too well and led us to the entrance of a large cave.
"Why would Natsu be in a place like this?" Jet asked.
"Just wait and be ready for anything" He said with a serious look.
We all gulped in fear of what waited us as we entered the cave and slowly made our way deeper inside, until we found him.
"NATSU" I screamed running to his side. He was bound by chains on his wrists and ankles and attached to the wall behind him, His clothes were dirty since he was sitting on the floor.
"LISANNA, STOP" the master screamed from behind making me stop in my tracks.
"But, it's only Natsu?" I asked pointing towards Natsu.
Natsu's head quickly shot up and started struggling against his restraints like a wild animal, his eyes were blood red and he gave a ear piercing roar that made us fall to our knees. Suddenly he stopped moving realizing he couldn't escape from the chains.
"Natsu, what's wrong?" Lucy asked.
"He can't control himself" master answered.
"What do you mean?" Droy asked.
"It's his mating season right now" master answered earning a severe blush from every female in there.
"W-what are you talking about? He doesn't have a mating season" I said.
"To be more specific it's dragon mating season, but since he has dragon magic in him then dragon slayers are also affected" master explained.
"But I'm not affected" Wendy said.
"Indeed you are not but that is because you are not over 18yo like Natsu or Gajeel" master clarified.
"But Gajeel is with Levy-san right now isn't he?" Jet asked causing an awkward silence when we realized what he was implying.
"I'M GONNA KILL HIM" Jet and Droy screamed at the same time while running towards the entrance of the cave just to be squished by master's hand.
"A-ny-way, Natsu his really dangerous right now and there's still a week left until he returns to normal so we should go" master said starting to walk towards the exit while carrying Jet and Droy.
"But master will he be ok by himself here?" I asked worried.
"Don't worry I already asked Freed to put runes around this place so that only Fairy Tail members can enter and he can just bring him food for him to eat, now let's go" master said making everybody start to leave.
Before I left I went near Natsu and said to him: "I'll visit you later" and gave him a smile and ran to keep up to the rest of the group.
It was now almost 10PM, I made sure I was quiet so that I wouldn't wake up Mira-nee and Elf-niichan and went to the cave where Natsu was.
Once I reached the cave I approached Natsu slowly to not startle him but to as I expected he was already asleep. He looked peaceful and I couldn't help but stare at him especially at his lips, they seemed so soft and warm. I leaned in closer closing the gap between our faces, I was so close but before touching his lips he turned in his sleep startling as he woke up.
"Lisanna, is that you?" He asked groggily.
"Natsu, you're back to normal" I said closing in on him for a hug which I quickly broke apart due to my insane blush.
"Yeah, maybe since its night ti- Wait you know about what's happening?"
"Of course, the master told us" I answered.
"Oh ok, but what are you doing here?"
"Well it is your birthday so I wanted to spend time with you" I said.
"Oh yeah, kind of a bummer I have to spend it like this" He said frowning.
"Don't worry I'm here with you so you won't be lonely" I said trying to cheer him up.
"Thanks Lisanna" He said showing his amazing smile he always does making me almost melt.
"Here I got you something" I said revealing the two necklaces.
"What are they?" He asked.
"They're special necklaces they we can wear, they have a fire lacrima inside so I thought it would remind you of Igneel" I explained.
"Awesome, thanks Lisanna. Uhm, can you put it on me?" He requested.
I nodded and proceeded to place on of the necklaces around his neck and the other around mine.
"I'll always wear it" He said making me blush once again. "And thank you for coming here, it's been a while since we spent any time together"
"Yeah, even after I came back from Edolas I spent most of my time with Mira-nee and Elf-niichan"
"Even though I missed you all those years you were away, they were the ones who needed you the most"
"Yes, but now that I've been with for a while I would like to spend more time with you, you know like old times" I said earning a blush from both of us.
"Then let's make a promise" He said suddenly. "Once this stupid mating season is over let's spend more time together"
"Ok, it's a promise. It'll be you, me and Happy, we'll be a family again" I said and even though I wanted the three of us back together I also wanted some alone time with Natsu. "Well I'm sorry it was short I have to go now it's pretty late, but don't worry I'll be back tomorrow"
"You don't have to say sorry I always like spending time with you" He said.
"Bye, Natsu" I said before leaving while hiding another blush.
"Bye, Lisanna" He said.
Natsu's POV:
Lisanna came to see me after all this time, fortunately she didn't come to close to me if she did she could have easily heard the fast beating of my heart, and this necklace she gave me instead of reminding of Igneel it kind of reminded me her.
But I wonder why I didn't feel like I usually do during mating season. Strange… I asked myself. I can't wait to see her again and maybe, just maybe tell her that I lo… My thoughts were interrupted by a yawn and falling back to sleep.
