Prologue
There was a deafening silence surrounding the guild, each person whispering and acting as though they were walking on glass.
Each person wanting to know every detail about what was happening but nobody actually having an answer and no one would dare ask the only people who actually knew, it was private and that much was obvious.
Only one thing was certain, Dragon mating season was coming.
A time where any dragon slayer who was of age would find their mate.
They didn't get a choice as to who it would be. They only knew that whoever it was would become their greatest treasure and that if their treasure rejected them, they would die.
They could not force their mate to bond with them, they could not get somebody else to force them. All they could do was pray that whoever fate chose to be their mate would fall in love with them in the short amount of months they had.
Of course it didn't help that in those months they would be prone to outburst of weird behaviour, "dragon like" behaviour.
That's why the guild of fairy tail was on edge, they had three dragon Slayers in the guild two of which were of age. What if they were rejected and left to die of heartbreak? What if their mate was cruel or evil and used the bond to hurt them?.
All they could do was pray that Natsu and Gajeel found someone who would treasure them like they would be treasured by them.
