Fairy tail NaLu: The heat has arrived.
WATCHING.
Lucy finished her wonderfully relaxing bath and made her way to the guild but along the way she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, she kept on looking over her shoulder or around the street but no one was looking at her, people were going on with their daily business.
As she walked through the guild doors she saw it was very quiet and uneasy, people would either look at Natsu, who was sitting in the corner looking sad or Gajeel who was sitting in that same corner, some were even looking up at the second floor where Laxus would sit, Gray was even in the corner talking to Juvia and not fighting Natsu like usual.
This confused Lucy, this wasn't the fairy tail she knew and loved, it was so quiet and on top of that almost a ghost town, nearly all of the females were gone and most of the males were missing as well.
Lucy walked through the guild and got that feeling of being watched again it was starting to annoy her now, who was watching her and why?
Lucy made her way to the bar and sat down on a stool facing Mira who was drying a cup.
"Good Morning Lucy, isn't it a wonderful day!" Mira exclaimed a little too cheerfully making Lucy suspicious of the demon mage.
"Mira what is going on today, I'm so confused" Lucy groaned as she put her head on the bar.
"What do you mean Lucy?" Mira said faking innocents
"I think you know Mira, I want answers like why is there no one here or why is the guild so uneasy and quiet." Lucy said pulling her head up from the bar and looking straight at Mira.
"don't you know Lucy, what is starting today" Lucy shook her head getting impatient.
Just then Levy came in "Good morning Lu-Chan, Mira, it seems everybody has already prepared for what's going on."
"WHAT is going on!" Lucy exclaimed now getting very impatient with being left in the dark by everyone.
"Lu-Chan you don't Know? I'll explain to you, it's mating season for dragon slayers" Levy said and the two slayers who were ease dropping on the conversation flinched.
"Mating season like they go into… heat" Lucy said breaking down into uncontrollable laughter because she couldn't image Natsu going into heat. It would be priceless to watch.
Mira came in closer and signalled for them to come in closer as well so that no one else could hear their conversation especially two ease dropping dragon slayers "I wouldn't be laughing Lucy I think Natsu will defiantly go for you" Mira whispered
Levy nudged Lucy side with a smug look and also whispered "Yeah Lu-Chan you and Natsu will defiantly become a couple, he hasn't stop watching you"
Mira got a sly look on her "you can't say anything Levy because you will end up with Gajeel, he hasn't stopped looking at you either" and levy blushed a thousand colours of red and stared fidgeting.
Lucy started to smirk and was going to join Mira in messing with her a little but was interrupted when she heard someone shout her name "hey Luce look at me beat the pulp out of meatal head!" Lucy sweat dropped as Natsu and Gajeel started fighting.
"in your dreams flame brain, hey shrimp watch me beat salamander" Gajeel shouted back. And soon it turned into a whole guild brawl even though their where a lot less people but It brought back some normality. However out of no were Laxus joined the fight and all normality was thrown out the window. All the girls had their mouths open from this. Laxus. Laxus! The last person you would think to join a guild brawl, joined a guild brawl!
"I'll show you who's the strongest person in this guild" Laxus said while punching Natsu across the room and dogging one of Gajeel's attacks. This was mayhem. Laxus sent wink towards the bar and Mira's face went up in flames. Lucy and Levy would have mocked her but they didn't want to deal with her demon form as punishment for their mocking.
"I think I'm just going to home and work on my novel since there is such a big commotion" Lucy said coming out of her shock.
"Can I come with you Lu-Chan I can help you with your novel, I don't want to die from three hormonal dragon slayers" Levy offered and sweat dropped at the thought of dyeing from the dragon's slayers fight.
"sure, bye Mira" Lucy and Levy both said and waved as they walked out.
"Bye, you guy's be careful" Mira said going back to tending the bar.
And there it was again the feeling of being watched she was seriously starting to freak out. And not just Lucy felt this, Levy was starting to feel scared it seemed like something has been following her all day and every time she turned around. Nothing. "Hey Lu-Chan?" Levy asked while they were walking to Lucy's apartment.
"Yeah Levy-Chan" Lucy replied while quickly looking behind her but got the same result, nothing.
"Do you…... d-do you ever fell like your b-being watched like today?" Levy asked looking to the ground.
"you too I thought it was just me but today I have I had feeling of being watched, all the time and it's starting to freak me out." Lucy said wrapping her arms around herself looking straight ahead.
"same, lets hurry back to your apartment and try and figure this out" Levy exclaimed picking up her pace and Lucy nodded and did the same.
As soon as they got through the door they locked it and also locked the windows and pulled the curtains. "Levy-Chan, I'm curious about mating season, do you have any information on it" Lucy said as her and Levy sat down on her couch with her novel and a pot of tea.
"Oh Lu-Chan, do you have a crush on a certain fire dragon slayer and you want to know how to attract the slayer" Levy said with a smug smile.
"N-no…. It's n-not like that…...I just find it interesting that they…. go into heat like an animal" Lucy said trying not to laugh at the last part.
Then Lucy got a smirk on her face looking at Levy "And I think you have the hots for a certain IRON dragon slayer" Lucy said emphasising the Iron part of the sentence and she also nudged Levy while say it, after hearing this Levy blushed and started trying to deny any romantic feelings for the iron dragon slayer.
"Anyway back on subject, what do you know about mating season" Levy asked while taking a sip of her tea to try and calm her blush down.
"Anything" Lucy replied looking at Levy curiously waiting for her to start.
Levy got her composure back and started "Well in mating season in one of the books I read it said that dragons mate for life and the same can go for dragon slayers, basically ever thing in the books about dragons goes for dragon's slayers as well…..."
Lucy interrupted "it's sort of romantic that they mate for life with one person" but also got sad at the thought.
Levy continued while taking a small sip of her tea "well yes it is but also they find their mate through fate and scent they will find their mates scent very intoxicating and won't be able to hold back once they smell it furthermore they will even admit their own pheromones to lure their mate in even further"
"what do you mean by fate and pheromones" Lucy asked
"Well it is written that from birth both mates will be destined to be together and the pheromones will be specifically for their mate, so only their mate should find that scent attractive that is coming off them but it can be dangerous during mating season male mates can get possessive and jealous easily and their way of marking a mate is…... different"
"Different?" Lucy repeated
"Like they will h-have s-sex with their p-potential mate and while in intercourse bite them, leaving a mark to tell all other males that your theirs and that mark binds you to your mate forever" Levy blushed at this statement, looking at her lap in embarrassment while saying it.
"This is so romantic" Lucy said looking up at the celling dreamily.
"Lu-Chan some of it is not very romantic like for instance if they don't have their potential mate, they might go on a rampage for any female to calm the rage inside of them basically it's them going after any girl to have sex with to calm their hormones and to keep them calm until they find their true mate, that's why almost all the women in the guild were gone today and probably the rest of the week." Levy finished
"do think Natsu and Gajeel have done that stuff with other women, do you think they are going to do that this year?" Lucy asked getting extremely anxious because she didn't think Natsu is the type of person to do that and to hear that it breaks her heart.
"well I don't know about Gajeel, mating season starts at the age of twenty and in spring, so this will be his second mating season because he is twenty-one but Natsu just turned twenty so this is his first one." Levy replied and looked a little upset about the Gajeel part.
"I still think it's kind of romantic but I think Natsu might go for Lisanna because they do have history and are cute together" Lucy said in a depressed state because Natsu would never go for her.
"I think Natsu will go for you, yeah they had some history but that's it, it's just history nothing more, do you see Natsu talk or hang out with Lisanna more than he does with you?" Levy finished while pouring a new cup of tea.
'Levy does have a point but I just don't see, Natsu never treats me than anything other than a friend, I'm just his nakama and that's as far as our relationship will go' Lucy thought sadly but decided it's time to change the subject from her.
"well I seriously think that Gajeel will go for you, he cares and express his feelings a lot more when he is around you" Lucy said looking a Levy
Levy got a little hint of a blush but looked down at a book on her lap in sadness "I'm not going to lie to you I do have feelings for Gajeel that are a little more than just like… but he would never go for me…. I don't think I'm even his type, I'm short and flat chested…I think he would go for someone like you with a figure and big chest size and a taller height, at one point I thought he would go for Juvia, just because they are really close from phantom lord." Levy said with tears in her eyes.
"Levy-Chan don't think that way about yourself, you are beautiful and I don't think that Gajeel is that shallow to not go for just because of something as little as your chest or height" Lucy said giving her a comforting hug.
They stayed like that for a while, where Levy was just quietly sobbing into Lucy's shoulder and Lucy was soothingly rubbing her back. After a while Levy backed away from the hug and wiped her eyes "thank you Lu-Chan for being so supportive I must have wasted a lot of your time" Levy said standing up and collecting her books
"no problem, that's why we are best friends aren't we" Lucy said giving her a sympathetic smile.
Levy returned the smile and walked towards the door "Well it's late and I have a mission tomorrow with Jet and Dory so I better get back to Fairy Hills, Bye Lu-Chan."
Lucy waved at Levy till she was out of sight on the stairs leading towards her apartment and as she shut the door and locked it she heard someone speak that made her turn around to face the pink haired boy sitting on her bed with the window wide open.
"I thought she'd never leave, I've been waiting long time out side of the window in the cold, maybe you could warm me up." Natsu said and Lucy looked at him astonished 'what is going on, something is up about him' Lucy thought.
