Hi! I found this unfinished fic on my FT fanfic folder and I suddenly had the urge to finish it.

(c) Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail.

The guild was surprisingly… not rowdy today.

When Lucy Heartfilia passed through the guild doors, she noticed that the people in the guild were gathered in a group. To satisfy her curiosity, she walked closer to her guildmates.

"Good morning guys! What is going on here?" All eyes were on the blonde mage. They seem to be frozen stiff. But after realizing that it was her, they sighed in relief.

"God, it's just you Lucy!" Cana laughed as she approached Lucy and tapped her back.

"Why are you huddled in a group?" She examined the members present. She saw Gray, Erza, Juvia, Wendy, Charle, Mirajane, Lisanna, Elfman, the Raijinshuu, Laxus, Levy, Gajeel, Patherlily, Jet, Droy, Macao, Wakaba, Romeo and other familiar faces were included. 'Are they in a cult or something?' She quickly dismissed the thought as Cana spoke.

"Oh, we were just talking about Natsu!" Lucy raised her brow as she heard Natsu's name. 'Were they… gossiping about Natsu?'

"What about Natsu?"

"It's about how dense the flame-brain is!" A very… naked Gray spoke.

"Well, being dense is better than being naked pervert though."

"Oh shit when did that happen!?" Gray scrambled trying to find his clothes.

This time, it was Erza who spoke, "We were just wondering if Natsu could be affected by girls."

Lucy sweatdropped once again as she tried to evade Erza's sword that she unconsciously pointed at her neck. "Uhh Erza we could wonder all day but please… the sword?"

"Oh, sorry. Habit." Erza withdrew her sword.

'Well those habits might kill someone!'

"We were forming a plan to make Natsu be affected by the opposite sex!" Levy told Lucy. "Now that Lu-chan's here, we can set the gears in motion!"

'Wait what!?'

"Uhm guys? Care to elaborate this… wonderful plan?" Lucy tapped her foot as she waited for a reply.

"We decided that you'll be the perfect candidate to make this plan happen." Erza answered.

"And why the hell did you think that I'll participate in this stupid plan?" Lucy twitched. 'This is ridiculous!'

"Because you obviously love Natsu!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"WHAAAAT!?" Lucy blushed as she looked around in panic to check whether other people were listening. Luckily, there was none.

"Don't underestimate the eyes of the resident matchmaker in the guild!" Mira winked at the profusely sweating Lucy.

Lucy tried to protest but was interrupted by Erza's command. "Lucy, you'll do the mission asap."

'God damn it, Erza and your scary threats!' "A-Aye…"

'Natsuuu, save meee'

"Erza?"

"What is it, Lucy?"

"Are you sure you wanted to do this?"

"Why I'm sure I have no doubts. If Natsu breaks his denseness, there's a high chance that you'll be keeping him on a leash and reduce the damages on every mission!" Erza stated proudly.

"A-Ah I see. But d-do I really have to uhh wear this?" Lucy shifted uncomfortably on her bed. She was wearing Erza's seduction armor.

"Are you doubting my capability to think of a strategy, Lucy!?"

"NO ERZA I THINK IT'S GREAT!" Lucy nervously chuckled as she backed away from Erza's evil aura.

"Good. Now remember to make Natsu realize about a woman's charm. You are the most qualified of all because you're his partner. Do you understand me?"

"Eh, even if Lucy jumped naked on Flame Brain, I don't think he'll get it. He's an idiot!" Gray laughed until Erza threw him outside Lucy's window.

'Even if I'm pissed off about Gray's comment, did Erza really have to throw him to next week?!' Lucy thought.

"We have installed a Lacrima video recorder on your ceiling so that the group could monitor you. And if you need help, just shout and we'll come."

"O-Okay?" 'Okay if something weird happened to us then they're gonna see it!? Great now the guild would see me in this outfit!'

"Good. Now wait for Natsu and I'll head off to the Guild." Erza jumped off from the window.

"Use the door instead!" Lucy exclaimed. She sighed and plopped onto her bed.

"My friends are crazy. A different kind of crazy. They really are a bunch of—" Lucy screamed out of frustration and buried her head in her pillow.

'Natsuuuu.'

An hour later, Lucy's window lock clicked and opened. She wasn't really shocked to see her Fire Dragon Slayer friend entering her room via window.

"Haven't I told you to use the damn door?"

"Eh, what's the thrill in that Luce?" He grinned.

"Whatever, Natsu. What are you doing here? And where's Happy?" Lucy was covered by her blanket so she wasn't exposed. Yet.

"Happy's with Wendy. Anyway, I'm hungryyyyyyyyy." Natsu whined.

"My house is not a restaurant…" Lucy deadpanned.

"But Luuuuce, I can't even walk to the Guild 'cause I'm too hungryyyyyyy!" Natsu dramatically clutched his stomach and kneeled to the floor.

"Fine!" Lucy abruptly stood up completely forgetting about her attire. 'Oh shit I'm in Erza's seduction armor!'

Lucy looked at Natsu who was busy jumping in glee because of the promise of Lucy's cooking. She sighed and muttered, "Still unfazed as ever…" Lucy frowned as she headed to the kitchen to make Natsu some food.

Back at the guild…

The whole group back in Fairy Tail minus Wendy and Romeo due to uhh reasons (underaged)— who were currently holed up in the stockroom— groaned and slapped their foreheads (while the others were still wiping some blood due to the blonde's… show).

"I'm telling you, that's dipshit's as dense as a rock!" Gray shouted as Juvia wrapped bandages around his bicep – really she's trying her best not to melt— due to Erza's beating earlier.

'Love-rival really needs to seduce Natsu-san so that she'll not steal Juvia's Gray-sama!' Juvia thought.

"He's not appreciating Lucy-chan's appeal at all!" Wakaba complained.

"Who in the right mind would resist that!? She's basically letting him devour her—"

"Macao shut up! You're disgusting!" Cana threw her empty barrel towards Macao.

"Ugh Natsu is an idiot!" Lisanna gnawed on her handkerchief out of frustration.

"Poor Lu-chan…" Levy frowned.

"Well, it's just the beginning so let's just sit back and relax, okay?" Mira smiled sweetly as she served her guildmates some drinks to pass the time.

"Tsk. Idiots. Idiots everywhere." Gajeel grunted.

Back at Lucy's Apartment…

"Geez, thanks Lucy!" Natsu rubbed his belly as he sunk further Lucy's couch. "Man, that hit the spot!"

"You're welcome." Lucy collected the dishes and then placed them to the sink. She decided she'll wash them later.

"Lucy." Lucy flinched as she realized that Natsu's tone had changed into a serious one. She noticed that she was staring at her, scanning her from head to toe (and his stare lingering at certain places.)

"W-What?" Lucy stammered at she fidgeted.

Natsu stood up until he faced Lucy.

"LOOK I KNEW IT IT WORKED—" Mira squealed as she saw Natsu approach Lucy and reached for the blonde's shoulders.

"Shh Mira! I can't hear them geez!" Gray complained.

Natsu stared at Lucy's brown orbs. After a minute of silence, Natsu spoke.

"You look really weird Lucy. Aren't you cold in that?" Natsu's face looked confused as he innocently tilted his head.

Everyone dropped from their seats.

"This is hopeless!"

"Oh God it's too painful to watch!"

"This is too frustrating!"

"Damn dense idiots! I'm telling you— IDIOTS!"

"Can I just cry now…"

"WAIT!" Lisanna shouted— which she doesn't do often so it shut the guild up.

Mira, who was still wiping her tears, tilted her head and questioned her little sister, "What's up Lisanna?"

"Hey guys maybe if Lisanna was the one who did the 'mission' maybe Natsu may have—" Gray was cut off by Lisanna.

"HELL NO! Look at the screen!" Lisanna pointed at the screen— which showed them the smirking faces of Lucy and Natsu…

"Are they—"

"Smirking at the lacrimacorder?" Everyone chorused.

Natsu and Lucy looked at each other and grinned.

"So Lucy…" Natsu smirked and pulled Lucy's hand and threw her gently on the bed. "Do you want me to warm you up?"

"I don't know, Natsu." Lucy bit her lip seductively. Her clothes didn't really help either. "Well, I suppose you could fire me up?"

Natsu climbed on the bed and hovered over Lucy's body. "Well then if that's what my queen wants…" He whispered then kissed her passionately on the lips. He broke away after a minute leaving both of them panting.

"But I guess we can't really continue if we have an audience, can we?" Natsu and Lucy looked smugly at the lacrimacorder on Lucy's ceiling before the fire dragon slayer blasted the device.

The screen turned blank.

Everyone who was watching the two had their jaws dropped on the floor. Well maybe except for Gajeel who was gagging.

"Ugh Salamander did you really have to do that!?" Gajeel groaned.

Gajeel's comment seemed to wake up everyone out of their trance.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED!?" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Simple, you fuckers were all played by the two little devils." Gajeel snickered.

"Wait Gajeel, you knew!?"

"Dragon slayer thing."

"So wait, Laxus and Wendy knew too!?"

"Lucy was with me the whole time, how could she tell Natsu about our plan?" Erza's asked to defend her hurting pride due to her failed strategy.

"Again, dragon slayer thing. Mates can communicate to each other through telepathy."

"What the fuck!?"

"M-Mates!?"

"Gihee."

"Mates… do you mean they already…?" Levy questioned.

"Mates are lovers to dragon slayers. Just like dragons, we dragon slayers mate for life. We dedicate ourselves to one and only one person. Usually, dragon slayers would recognize their mates on sight— and in Salamander's case, he even brought Bunny Girl home so I'm not sure why you idiots didn't know about those two. And shrimp, yes they did. They did that to seal the deal. Once the deed is done, they're bound to each other forever." Gajeel explained.

Levy blushed at the implication of the iron dragon slayer. "S-So they did... "

"But Natsu is an idiot! A dense idiot who didn't know anything about the other gender! We grew up with him so we know!" Gray interjected. "How the fuck did he even know where to put his miniscule junk!"

"The fuck Gray!?" The girls shouted.

"Turns out you didn't know shit about dragon slayer instincts. He just played his cards well, gihee. Good move if you ask me."

"The fuck!?"

"You were all played by the 'dense' and 'idiot' Natsu Dragneel." Gajeel laughed.

Meanwhile, Mira was trembling from her position. Everyone sensed the dangerous aura surrounding the Demon Take-Over mage so they backed away from her.

"WHY!"

"EEEEEK!" Everyone— Except Erza and Laxus— shrieked in terror.

"WHY DID NATSU CUT OFF THE VIDEO GOD DAMN IT I WANTED TO WATCH!" Mirajane shouted in fury.

"That's your problem!?" Everyone exclaimed.

After laughing for almost an hour, the two finally calmed down and snuggled in Lucy's bed.

'We should have installed cameras around them so that we could see their faces.' Natsu spoke to Lucy through telepathy.

'Consider it done. Our little secret agent is on his way towards his tower of fish.' Lucy smugly replied.

"God, I love you so much Lucy." He kissed her cheek and buried his head on the crook of her neck.

"Me too, Natsu." She snuggled further to her mate's warmth. "I love you too damn much."

"I'm excited to return to the guild tomorrow!"

Lucy chuckled. "You played the dense card well, Dragneel. Well played."

"Of course. I've been wanting to see the day that I'll see their gobsmacked faces— and that I got laid before Ice princess!"

Lucy smacked his chest playfully then laughed along with Natsu. "Don't tell them that! It's personal!"

"But you liiiiiiiiiked it~" Natsu rolled his tongue then smirked at the blonde.

"S-stop it!" Lucy buried her face against his chest to hide her intense blushing.

In return, Natsu leaned into her ear and whispered his reply. "That's not what you said last night."

"Eeeeek! Pervert! Who told the guild that Natsu is an idiot at things like this!" Lucy tried to escape from Natsu's firm hold while he laughed hard.

"Lucyyyy, it's not my fault if my dragon slayer instinct suddenly wanted to be a 'pervert'— I became like this because of youuuuu" Natsu whined.

"Ugh you and your dragon slayer instincts!" Lucy groaned.

"Well since at least they know about my 'denseness'— oh Mavis I'll never live this down ever—, don't you think it's time to wear our rings properly?" Natsu suggested.

The two devils smirked, thinking of the guild's faces when they suddenly drop the marriage bomb the next day.

AN: Sorry. I just can't help it haha. This isn't the most organized one I've done but whatever I just had to let this out :))

Anyway, I'm releasing another chapter- maybe another version of this chapter including Natsu and Lucy's telepathic communication haha! And maybe their return to the guild to announce their marriage =))

Thanks for reading! I'm hoping to update my other story, Caught Between Two Worlds, soon. *crosses fingers*
