Title: Mating Season
Summary: For the past couple weeks, Natsu has been avoiding Lucy to the point where it upset her. Once Gajeel let her know, Lucy figures out a plan to get the dragon slayer alone with enough time to talk to her about what had been going on.
Natsu quickly woke up in a cold sweat. She was really starting to get sick of mating season. It had been two weeks since it started and there were at least four more. Four more weeks of waking up in a cold sweat after having dreams about her mate.
"Fuck. This is seriously getting annoying." Natsu groaned, as she rolled off of her couch and landed on the ground with a groan
"Natsu? You okay?" Happy asked as he flew towards his partner who was holding her head.
"Yeah. Do you know if Lucy's going to be at the guild?" Natsu asked as she slowly stood up and walked over to her dresser. Happy sat on her dresser and watched her pull out the clothes she would be wearing for the day with a frown on his face.
"No idea. When I went yesterday, Lucy acted upset that you weren't there. It's getting hard to keep on lying to her." Happy explained with a sigh while Natsu took her clothes and walked back over to the couch before changing.
She just sighed as she changed. She knew happy didn't like lying to Lucy about why she hadn't been going to the guild. After all, happy did tell Natsu that he thought of Lucy as a second mother, which honestly shocked her.
Even though Lisanna thought of herself as a mother to happy, Happy never really thought of it that way. Natsu knew why. Even though Happy liked Lisanna, he never held Lisanna to the same regard as Natsu. The only other person who he thought the same towards was Lucy.
It made Natsu happy that he thought of Lucy in a similar way. Still, Natsu didn't know how to confront Lucy about her feelings. She knew she couldn't do it during mating season. She was more likely to pounce Lucy than actually talk to the beautiful blonde.
Natsu quickly slapped both sides of her face so she could continue wrapping the cloth wrappings around her chest. Sure, her chest wasn't as big as Lucy's or most of the girls in the guild, but she didn't care. Her full D cup breasts were perfectly sized to her body.
She was never one to care about looks, but she knew she was good looking. She had to be if Loke flirted with her. She didn't have the sharp curves or wide hips of the girls in the guild, but she still had the curves and hips
She had a slender body with slim and soft curves where it counted along with noticeable hips and a decent ass. She didn't mind having a smaller chest since they still could get in the way at times. If people weren't looking at her body, they were looking at her pretty hair. She had waist length pink hair with her bangs stopping just above her eyes she also had hair that hid most of her ears and fell down to her shoulders.
Natsu sighed as she put on her black boots that stopped a few inches below her knees, glad she was finally dressed. She liked her clothing as she was always one for comfort over style, Even so, she did have some more girly clothes. She wasn't going to be wearing those today though.
Today, she oped for her open vest with the usual wrappings around her chest, white shorts that stopped at her thighs, which were tied with black ties at the ends of the legs and a longer black tie around the waist of her shorts. She also wore a half wrap skirt that she left open in the front, which was held up by a belt. Her fashion was indeed slightly strange, but it did fit her so she could care less.
Once she was on her feet she walked over to to the end table near her couch and put in her flame earrings, which were a gift from Lucy a few months back. "You ready to go buddy?" Natsu looked over her shoulder to her exceed with a smile.
"Aye sir!" Happy cheered floating over to her before sitting down on her straight pink locks as she left the house. She hoped she could handle seeing Lucy, but she had a feeling the world wasn't going to let that happen.
"Hey Natsu, it's good to see you at the guild today." Mira smiled as she handed Natsu her usual bottle of hot sauce while happy was sitting at the table where Wendy and charle were sitting at.
"Yeah. Just been a little busy getting some more training in." Natsu explained before taking a sip of her drink, loving the feeling of the hot sauce going down her throat.
"I see. You know, Lucy's been worried about you. It's not like you to be gone from the guild so long." Mira inquired towards the pink haired girl. "Plus Lucy is apparently getting close to her rent date again and is low on money. I suggested going on a solo job or taking one with Gray or Erza but she said it wouldn't be the same without you." Mira explained towards the dragon slayer, causing her face to heat up at the words.
Before Natsu could come up with a response, the guild doors opened and she caught a whiff of that heavenly scent of Vanilla and strawberries. Once she heard the footsteps heading towards her, she internally groaned, hoping she could at least make conversation with the beautiful blonde.
"Hey Natsu, I haven't seen you here in a while and was getting worried" Lucy said as she took a seat next to the pinkette. Natsu gulped, noticing that like always, her large chest seemed to be straining against the fabric of her clothes.
"Yeah,just been training some." Natsu explained while not looking at the blonde at all in fear of doing something she would most likely regret.
"Happy said as much the last few days. Anyway, do you think me and you could go on a mission together? Gray and Erza left for one yesterday and I was hoping that we could go on one alone." Lucy explained, not noticing the strange behavior of the fire dragon slayer.
"S-sorry, I can't. I gotta go." Natsu explained before suddenly running out of the guild and causing Lucy's hair to be messed up from the wind she caused.
"She's been acting weirder than normal lately." Lucy sighed after coming back to her senses from Natsu's strange behavior.
"Gihi. That's one way to put it, bunny girl." Gajeel remarked as he walked over to the bar and took Natsu's previously occupied seat.
"Why do I have a feeling you know what's going on with her?" Lucy narrowed her eyes at Gajeel while he had a knowing smirk on his face.
Gajeel motioned for both Lucy and Mira to get closer to him so that only they could hear him. "It's simple. It's the dragon slayer mating season." Gajeel replied in a whisper as both girls looked at him curiously
"Mating season?" Mira questioned, unsure if she heard him correctly
"Yup. All dragon slayers go through it once they hit a certain age. You haven't noticed how Dragon slayers stay secluded for a few weeks at a time once a year?" Gajeel raised an eyebrow towards the girls.
"Now that you mention it, Natsu did stay away from the guild for a few days once a year, but it seems since Lucy became part of the guild it's been longer during that time." Mira remarked a grin slowly forming on her face.
"She must've been able to keep her hormones in check until bunny girl showed up." Gajeel started as the two continued to listen. "During mating season, dragon slayers, just like dragons try and seek out their mate and claim them as their own. Once they've done that, mating season will never affect them again. The only problem with mating season is every year it will affect them more and more until they won't give a single fuck about who they screw around with during that time." Gajeel finished with a chuckle.
"Why is she so weird towards me though? And why aren't you and Wendy affected by it?" Lucy questioned the iron dragon slayer, hoping to get some answers about the situation.
"For Wendy, she's not at the age for it yet, so it's not going to affect her yet. For me, my mate's currently sleeping in my bed back home. Gihi." Lucy's eyes widened when she realized she hadn't seen Levy for a while. "As for why salamander's been acting so weird towards you? Well, you're her mate. Just think about it. You two are always together, hell if I didn't know any better I would think you two were already a couple, her scent is normally covering you like sweat after a hard workout." Gajeel remarked before getting up and leaving the guild.
"Mira, I think I need to go home and sort all this out." Lucy sighed as she got up and left the guild. Mira just sighed since she had a feeling those two would make a cute and perfect couple once they got everything sorted out.
Lucy sighed as she was randomly walking through town. It had been a week since Gajeel told her and Mira about the mating season and why Natsu was acting so strange. She was just trying to figure out how to go about it.
Sure, she knew she liked Natsu more than a friend and was glad Natsu thought of her in the same way. But she wasn't sure if she was ready for the commitment that came with being a dragon slayer's mate.
She had summoned crux and asked him about begin a dragon slayers mate. After a few minutes, she found out it basically boiled down to a dragons version of marriage just without the papers, ceremony and rings.
Even so, Crux said that there has never been a dragon slayer whose mate was the same gender as them, but if Lucy was indeed Natsu's mate,there was nothing to be done about it.
Lucy just sighed as she decided she needed to confront Natsu about it. She was glad she had asked Erza where Natsu had lived a few months back, that way she could easily find where the pretty pinkette lived.
Luckily it didn't take long to get there. Upon reaching the house she knocked a few times, but didn't receive an answer. So she quietly opened the door to find it empty. Lucy frowned as she searched for any clue to where Natsu was. She knew that she needed to talk to Natsu She honestly was worried for her best friend and teammate.
Natsu was the one who always helped her with personal problems and had saved her quite a few times. She didn't like how Natsu was avoiding her, even if it was because Natsu was barely in control of her own body when she was near Lucy
The blonde sighed when she came up empty about where Natsu was, meaning Happy was with her. Sighing, Lucy took out a piece of paper and wrote down something on it before leaving it on the dresser and leaving. If her plan wasn't going to work, she had no idea what was going to.
Thirty minutes after Lucy had left Natsu's house to go to her own, Natsu and happy returned to the house, Natsu immediately noticing Lucy's scent. "Lucy was here." Natsu mumbled under her breath as she looked around, noticing a piece of paper on her dresser.
Piking up the paper, Natsu sighed as she read it. "Lucy really wants you to go on a job with her." Happy remarked, frown adorning his face as Natsu lit the paper on fire. "I think you should go." The exceed voiced his thoughts on the matter, making his partner sigh.
"Fine. But you're coming with me. If you think I'm going to do something stupid, stop me." Natsu remarked as she went over to the couch to relax, knowing she would need to make sure her mind was stable for going on a job with Lucy.
Lucy frowned as she sat on a bench at the train station in magnolia a day after leaving the note at Natsu's place. She wanted to go on a job with Natsu, not only because she missed spending time with the girl and her rent was due soon, but also because they would hopefully have time to talk about what was going on between them.
She had been waiting at the station for nearly 45 minutes with no sign of the dragon slayer. Their train was due in fifteen minutes, meaning if Natsu didn't show by then, she'd be doing the job by herself. Realizing it was a better idea to look over the job request instead of letting her worry seep through her, she took out the flier to read it over.

"So that's the job? Sounds fun." Hearing Natsu's voice, the blonde turned to See Natsu looking over her shoulder, toothy grin plastered on her cute face.
"Yeah. I thought it would be a simple job that the two of us could do and then on the way back we could spend the night in Balsam village and get back into town tomorrow." Lucy suggested, Natsu raising an eyebrow at the idea but nodding anyway. "Anyway, I didn't think you would actually come since you've been avoiding me lately."
Seeing the sad look in her eyes, Natsu sighed as she sat down next to her friend. "Sorry about that, but can we talk about that later? Maybe when we're in balsam?" Natsu suggested, realizing too late that she was unconsciously agreeing to telling Lucy about mating season.
"Sound's good." Lucy smiled as the train for Oak town pulled into the station. Once the duo headed for the stopped train, Lucy spoke up again. "Happy isn't coming?" Lucy raised a curious brow at the lack of the blue furred companion.
"He was going to come before we ran into Wendy and Charle. Headed to the guild with them." Natsu puffed out her cheeks in annoyance as she crossed her arms under her chest. Looking at how Natsu looked, nearly pouting, Lucy could only think of the dragon slayer as cute.
"I think it'll be fun with just the two of us. Plus Happy won't call me fat." Lucy remarked, the duo taking their seats on the train. Natsu nodded, silently agreeing as they put their bags opposite of them with Natsu resting her head on Lucy's lap.
When Lucy rose a curious brow at the pinkette, she yawned. "Didn't sleep much last night." Natsu explained laying on her back so that she could look up at the blonde.
Before either could utter a single word more, the train whistle blew as the train lurched forward, which in turned caused Natsu's face to turn a sickly shade green while the force of the sudden movement caused Natsu to move so that her face was touching her teammate's stomach.
"So much for getting sleep." Natsu groaned against Lucy's stomach. Lucy simply sighed, placing one hand on the girl's lower thigh while her free hand played with the girl's long locks to try and sooth her stomach so that she might be able to sleep.
After a few minutes, Lucy faintly was able to hear Natsu's quiet snores, signaling she had fallen asleep. The blonde let out a sigh of relief as the girl rolled over so that she was facing away from the blonde. Once Natsu stopped moving, Lucy continued to run her hand through her hair.
Lucy had found out that running a hand through the dragon slayer's hair had seemed to calm the girl's stomach a few months after joining fairy tail and ever since Natsu would always sit next to her because of it, though now Lucy was wondering if it had anything to do with Lucy being her mate.
As Lucy continued to run her fingers through the long hair, Lucy couldn't help but smile down at the girl, who was content with sleeping in her lap, her head resting on her hands with a content smile on her face. Even though Lucy couldn't see it, she knew it was there. It always was when she slept near the blonde.
"And you call me a weirdo." Lucy sighed as she moved the bangs of of the sleeping teen's face.
Once Natsu and Lucy had gotten off the train in oak town, the two made their way to the mayor's house to get more details on the job. After a few minutes of searching they found it and immediately found the details weren't all that hard. They were told that a group of Vulcans have been getting too close to the town for the residents liking. It was assumed they were about a mile or two out of town in the woods.
After the short explanation with the mayor, the two immediately set out for the forest to try and locate the Vulcans As the two entered the forest, a thought occurred to Lucy, one the two should of thought of when they read the request. "Hey, Natsu? Don't Vulcans like women like the men in our guild?"
"Yeah. But I'm sure we can handle them. We've both gotten really strong since when we helped get Macao back from the one Vulcan in mount Hakobe." Natsu smirked, pumping a fist in the air. "This will definitely help us figure out how strong we have gotten. I'm all fired up now!" When Natsu said her iconic line, Lucy couldn't help but giggle behind her hand.
"Well, let's just hope I don't get captured by one of them again." Lucy sighed, knowing that out of the two of them, Lucy was the more likely candidate to get taken by them. "But I'm sure you'd help me if that did happen." Lucy smirked while Natsu blushed and hid part of her face in her scarf.
"I'm honestly curious on how many there are. Normally Vulcans don't venture into towns that often. So it's weird they've gotten as close as they have, especially if it's a big group." Natsu remarked, only knowing a handful of instances Vulcans even got a mile from Magnolia.
"That's true. We'll just have to be careful." Lucy remarked, the two of them staying silent afterward and always looking around to make sure nothing caught them off guard.
It wasn't until they were in a clearing a good two miles away from town that they stopped walking and looked around to find any signs of the Vulcans nearby. "Huh, this would be a good spot for Vulcans to be since there's a cave not that far away." Natsu spoke, pointing to the aforementioned cave that wasn't that far off.
"That's weird. Aren't they normally outside during the day?" Lucy questioned before she noticed Natsu take up a fighting stance.
"Luce, get ready for a fight. I can smell at least 25 Vulcans coming our way." Lucy nodded as the two stood back to back, Natsu's fist engulfed in flames while Lucy held one hand over her keys with the other over her whip.
When Lucy could hear the running footsteps,She grabbed onto Taurus and Loke's keys and slashed them through the air as the Vulcans appeared in the crossing. "Why do you always seem to take on the dangerous jobs?" Loke sighed as him and Taurus appeared in golden light.
"Don't ask me that, it had good money. Just help us fight." Lucy spoke, grabbing her whip and tripping one of the Vulcans as she extended her Fleuve d'étoiles to ensnare one of their legs. Lucy smirked as she easily undid her hold on it's leg and gab one of the others and send it flying into two of them.
"This why I'm glad you're part of fairy tail, your whip skill is scary." Natsu remarked before jumping at one of the Vulcans and slamming it in the jaw with her fire dragon's iron first. "We could easily defeat these guys if I had enough time to use one of my stronger attacks." Natsu growled, hopping backwards to dodge five of the Vulcans attacks.
"Loke. You think you could help Natsu?" Lucy questioned, holding a Vulcan in place so that Taurus could send it flying.
"Of course. It wouldn't be right of me to say no to such a request. Especially when it's to help such a beautiful girl." The two women just rolled their eyes at Loke as he went to help the shorter of the two girls.
"I swear if you try flirting with me I'll send you back to the spirit realm." Natsu growled at the leader of the zodiac. "But right now I need you to fend these guys off so that I can hopefully use an attack that can send the ones in front of us flying." Loke nodded at the pinkette's explanation, simply walking in front of her.
"I don't know how long I'll be able to hold these things off for. Just be quick." Loke spoke, feeling heat radiate off of the girl. Loke had a half smirk on his face as he gripped his wrist and engulfed his hand in golden light before charging against a few Vulcans and sending them back with his 'Regulus Gatling impact'.
"Let's hope this will be able to take these guys out quickly." Natsu mumbled to herself as she slowly opened her eyes, flames and lighting engulfing her body as she watched Loke fight the Vulcans in front of her.
Focusing her magic in her hands, they soon were engulfed with her right in flames and her left in lightning. Feeling the magic emanating from the girl, Loke smirked, realizing what she was doing and as she started bringing the two together, dodged a Vulcan's attack.
Loke quickly dodged out of Natsu's range as she sent the ball of lightning and flame at most of the Vulcans, sending them through the trees behind them from the force of the magical blast. "Damn, thought I'd be able to get them all." Natsu remarked before running at the remaining and hitting them with flaming punches that were being infused with the lightning magic.
"Of course she'd go the most destructive option." Lucy sighed, shaking her head as she landed from dodging a Vulcans attack. "Though, I wouldn't of guessed she'd do anything else." Lucy let a half smile splay on her lips before they all continued fighting.
After another half hour, both of the girls fell onto their butts as the two spirits returned to the celestial world to allow the celestial mage to rest since the Vulcans ran off and away from the area they were in. "That was definitely more than just 25 Vulcans" Natsu groaned, leaning her head on Lucy's shoulder before speaking up again. "More kept on showing up once the ones we defeated ran off. We had to of fought over 100 of the damn things."
Lucy hummed her agreement as the two regained their breaths from the fight, subtly looking over at the pinkette and watching her chest rise and fall with her heavy breaths. After a few minutes of staring, Lucy decided to speak. "We should head out to get our reward and then head to Balsam to relax before heading back home tomorrow."
Natsu nodded her agreement, slowly standing up on shaky legs while Lucy did the same. Noticing her partner's shaky legs, Lucy wrapped an arm around her waist to help balance her. "Th-thanks." Natsu felt her face and neck heat up. "Guess I used more stamina than I thought." Natsu sighed as the two headed back into the town.
"I totally forgot how nice the beds here were." Natsu sighed as she laid on the bed in their room. They were staying in the same room they stayed at after the phantom lord incident. The only difference to the room was they now had beds in the room, though they were still oriental styled.
"When did you come here after they put these new beds in?" Lucy questioned, giggling as Natsu sprawled out on the full sized bed in the room.
"Remember that Mission I had to take with snowflake a month back? We stopped here for the night on our way back." Natsu explained as Lucy walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Anyway, I think I'm going go use the hot spring." Natsu spoke, sitting up and taking her flame earrings out before setting them on the small table in the center of the room.
"I'll join you in a few minutes okay? We still need to talk." Lucy remarked as Natsu grabbed her spa robe before heading out of the room to the hot springs to relax for a while. Once She knew Natsu was out of earshot, Lucy fell back onto the bed. "Now how am I going to do this." She mumbled, running a hand through her golden locks.
As Lucy was figuring how to talk to Natsu about the whole mating season, Natsu had walked to the hot springs and stripped of her clothes before entering the water. As she got into the water she realized she could've easily changed in their room instead of waiting until she got to the springs.
Natsu just sighed, realizing it didn't matter that much. She did want to tell Lucy about what was going on with her, but she honestly had no idea how she was going to go about that. As Natsu thought of how to explain everything to her best friend, she closed her eyes to think.
After a half hour had passed of Natsu thinking, she heard the sounds of the water splashing and opened her eyes to see Lucy walking towards her with a light smile on her face. "For a second I thought you fell asleep." Lucy remarked before sitting down next to her.
"Sorry, was thinking 'bout some stuff." Natsu sighed, slight blush on her face as she knew what they were going to talk about at some point.
"Sorry I took so long. I saw your clothes and decided to bring them back to our room." Lucy explained, Natsu nodding in thanks for taking her clothes back. "Anyway, are we going to talk about why you've been avoiding me lately?" Lucy questioned, noting how the dragon slayer stiffened at her question.
"Ummm... well... you've at least heard of mating season before, right?" Natsu questioned while hiding her face from the blonde as she felt her face heat up at having to explain it to the blonde. Hearing the blonde stiffle a giggle, Natsu turned to look at the celestial mage curiously. "Lucy? What's so funny?"
Seeing the blush on the dragon slayer's face, Lucy decided to let her know what she knew. "Natsu, I know what you've been doing. You've been staying away from me because I'm your mate." Hearing her words, Natsu went slack jawed and wide eyed at what Lucy had said.
"H-how do you know...?" Natsu questioned, trailing off before she realized how Lucy found it. "Gajeel, you idiot." Natsu growled, knowing that she had told him to keep his mouth shut about mating season to the guild.
"Yup. Gajeel told me and Mira about it. He went into the vague detail about it first and then I had to ask Levy about it." Lucy started as Natsu listened intently. "Master Crux didn't have as much information as Levy did. I was actually surprised by with the whole mating season was." Lucy explained, light smile on her face.
"So, you're not freaked out about the whole thing?" When Lucy shook her head, Natsu rose a brow at her. "So the whole marking thing doesn't freak you out? And neither does the whole being my mate thing means?"
"Nope. It's kinda romantic if you think about it. Plus I have had feelings for you for a while now." Lucy smirked as she turned to look at the girl. "I definitely don't oppose the idea." Lucy smiled, snaking an arm around her shoulders to go down her back and rest on the pinkette's hip.
"You sure? There's no going back when we do this. I don't want to force you to do this." Natsu spoke while looking the blonde in the eyes. When Lucy nodded, the pinkette felt her face heat up as the blonde pulled her closer to her.
"Natsu, I'm sure. I've wanted to go out with you for a while now, but I was too scared to ask you." Lucy smiled leaning down towards the shorter girl and captured her lips in a slow, loving kiss. Natsu kissed right back and threaded her hands through Lucy's golden locks while Lucy's hand stayed on the pinkette's hips.
After the kiss ended, Natsu spoke up. "Lucy, are you sure you wanna have me mark you here?" When Lucy nodded, Natsu had a light blush on her face as she was pulled onto Lucy's lap. Natsu sighed in content as Lucy moved her head to the left, giving the girl access to her neck. "This might feel weird for a second or so."
Lucy nodded at Natsu's words, closing her eyes as she felt the pinkette's lips on her neck. Lucy sighed as Natsu sucked the same spot before she gasped as she felt Natsu's canines sink into her skin. It was definitely a strange feeling to the blonde. It was painful but also pleasurable at the same time. The blonde let a light moan escape her lips as she felt Natsu suck at the small wound before she released her mouth from her neck and lapping up the stray blood and kissing the area.
"Definitely felt weird." Lucy spoke as she felt the area Natsu's teeth were just in. "probably shouldn't touch it for a little bit, huh." Lucy mused, noticing how tender the area was.
"The mark should be created by tomorrow morning." Natsu spoke with a smile. I doubt Levy explained to you how the mark is formed." Natsu started with a light smile. "When I sank my teeth in ya, I was sending my magic into your neck while the place I bit gave me your blood. It's basically giving you something in return."
Lucy nodded, understanding it even though Natsu said it strangely. "Right. Levy told me that once the mark is formed, I will slowly be able to learn your magic and I won't be harmed by your flames." Lucy smiled before Natsu pulled the blonde into another kiss.
After a few seconds, the duo parted, resting their foreheads together before Natsu spoke up. "The guild isn't going to be that shocked when they find out, will they?" Natsu sighed before nuzzling her face in the blondes neck.
"Not at all. Though I think it'll be strange for a little while." Lucy giggled, knowing that their relationship was going to change, but not by much. They were best friends after all Lucy just smiled, knowing that at some point they did have to get out and head back to their room, but for now they were happy where they were.
