Rating: M

Narration: Natsu

Au? (Alternate Universe): Yes

Disclaimer: Do NOT own FT

Other Notes: Once more this chapter will be told by Natsu's perspective. Because well, it's easier to put this chapter into his perspective ono…By the way I am adding in another main pairing and another side pairing. The main pairing is Laxus x Natsu, and in this chapter this pairing will come into play. Then the side pairing is Castel x Gray. Castel is an OC, she is the water dragon, and later on she will appear. Also I changed Lucy x Natsu and Juvia x Gray to a side pairing since it wont happen that much. If you have any other pairing ideas for other characters please tell me them.

Ok did I hear right…? Did Gray just tell me what I think he told me? No that can't be right. There is no way in hell he just said those words to me. I couldn't exactly talk about though, only look at him in confusion and shock. His face though, showed honestly, and want, even lust. I had never seen this look on his face before…I felt his arms pull me closer, so that we were pressing together.

"Natsu….I've waited so long…so very long just to see you….then when I saw you again I couldn't let out the right emotions…then we started fighting…and gah…..it just didn't happen right…-"

I could tell he was going to keep talking but I decided to cut him off. "Ok what are you talking about? We meet at the guild!"

He put his hands on my face, and looked me right in the eye. "No Natsu. I was one of the boys you used to live with. UR was the one that took care of us, and Lyon was the other boy. I was always smiling at you because I liked you. Lyon didn't like to talk so he always patted you on the head. UR always tried to make you stronger…we all cared about you Natsu…the day you left I swore to find you and tell you everything Natsu."

I was speechless. I had never thought even for a second that Gray could have been that boy. Now hearing that coming from him everything seemed to be coming together. I barley registered as he closed the gap between us and kissed me. When I did register it I couldn't move away. I closed my eyes instead, and relaxed. I had the feeling I wouldn't get out of it anyways; he seemed stronger than me lately [Much to my dislike!]. He pulled away then looked over at the glaring Igneel, holding me close to him.

"Natsu's a fairytail mage, and he will always be a fairytail mage. You are not going to take him away from us, or me," Gray said. "No matter what you do."

"Are you honestly threatening me boy?" Igneel raised an eyebrow. "That amuses me, seeing as how you are human."

Gray just flat out ignored Igneel then and pulled me into the room again. I was now rather confused with what was going on…


Timeskip 2-days later:

I looked at the train deridingly. It was time we headed back to the guild, but…I was not looking foreword to the train. Even more so because on the train Lucy, Erza, and Master were waiting. Master had 'told' us it was for a special reason but I wasn't so sure. I wondered if they had found out about the new relationship between Gray and I. I pray they didn't because even I am embarrassed to speak about it for the reason I thought he was just annoying and well other things. Honestly having this come up all of the sudden is something I can't explain…at least it's helping me choose my place…well I guess. I still don't know if I'm going to stick with this or not…

"Come on Natsu," Gray said to me as he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me onto the train. I blushed softly, still not used to these actions. I followed him though, knowing better than to let him drag me. I looked around, and soon spotted Erza. She motioned for us to follow and we did so. She lead us to a room where Master and Lucy were sitting. Erza leaned against the wall and we sat down on the couch that was empty. Master was looking at both of us with a look I couldn't read. He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Natsu. Gray. How did things go for you two?" He asked suddenly, and I was about to answer before Gray could, but of course he beat me to it.

"Master what do you think? Sending me on a trip with idiot was stupid..." He muttered. Of course I knew he was just trying to act normal, but it still kinda stung.

Master smiled, and nodded. "I know but you two both needed a break from the guild, and sending you two on septerate trips would have cost more."

Both mine and Gray's jaws dropped and I know we both thought Cheapskate! at the time time. Then again if it wasn't for that none of this would have happened, and I would probably have left the guild and gone with Igneel...

"Anyways..." Master began to speak once more. "I have a...request. You see I have two S-ranked missions that can not be taken on alone. Gray, Erza, and Lucy you will be taking on one of those missions. Natsu I am putting you and Laxus on a mission."

I about choked as Master told me I was going on a mission with Laxus. He had to be kidding right? There was no way in hell Laxus would agree on something like that. I was about to comment when Master spoke again.

"Laxu's is in the room over, sleeping. He tried to take on the job alone and was almost killed, reason one why I am sending you with him Natsu. He's not going to complain when he was almost killed by the creature he was fighting...and I think you will be able to calm that creature. Go over to his room and see if he's awake. He'll tell you the details on the mission. Gray, Erza, and Lucy I'll tell you the details of you're mission now."

And this is how a new twist started in the relationship Gray and I had formed.


I sighed as I walked to the cabin Laxus was in. I knocked on the door and heard a yell for a reply and I sighed, opening the door and walking in. I saw Laxus sitting up in bed, against the wall. Until now I hadn't registered the train moving, until it jerked suddenly and I fell to the floor. I was about to get up with a strong arm pulled me up.

"Fireball watch where you are walking," Laxus sat me against the wall, standing over me. Honestly he looked like a towering giant from how he was standing above me. I kept a smug look on my face though and tried to get up, his foot coming up and pressing against my chest. "Nu-uh. Who told you, you could get up?" He asked, smirking down at me.

"Laxus cut it out!" I snapped at him and tried to get up again, only to have him push me down again."Laxu-" I didn't understand really what happened in the next second sept that lips other than Gray's were over my own. And I have to admit, it was really weird. I had gotten used to Gray's cold lips, and the feeling of his cold body, however Laxus was warm, very warm. His body almost felt the same as Igneel...wait what the hell am I thinking? This isn't the time for this! I managed to push Laxus away.

He was looking at me with odd eyes and then finally said. "Grandfather knows what I want so easily...he knew I would fail that mission and come back needing help...and of course you would be the only one to come help...This was all perfect though...He knew how Gray felt for you Natsu...but soon...soon...you wont have that relationship with him. I'll make sure of that by stealing you away from him. You hear me Natsu?" He whispered in my ear. "I want you...and I will have you...it's sad to think by getting what I want I can't be ambitious about taking the guild over, but I guess that is a fair price to pay eh Natsu?"

Ok I admit only then was I getting what the heck Laxus and Master were up to. It was kinda clear. Master didn't want anything to happen between Gray and I that would bring us closer, he wanted Laxus and I to get closer for more than one reason...and you know I didn't like it. I mean this was stupid, he was pretty much sealing me to Laxus so that nothing bad would happen...ok if I was in his position maybe I would do that to but...still.

"So...what's it gonna be Dragon Slayer?"

...and me being an idiot I hadn't been paying attention to what Laxus was saying until now.

"Natsu..." He tilted my head up. "Like I said...what is it gonna be? Are you gonna be submissive and let me do what I want...or should I get the others in the guild involved?" He asked me.

My eyes went wide, knowing what he was talking about. I looked down. "...I give."

I had no idea what I was getting into then.


A/n: Alright so I have a question for you who read this. You want me to write what happened during those two days I timeskipped? If yes I'll write up a chapter and put what happened at the end, and only those who want to know can read it if they want.
