Epilogue

Five year later

Natsu sat on the porch, watching as his two sons Hikaru and Izumi sparring in the yard. Hikaru, even though he had Gray's hair and eyes was a fire mage, and Izumi who took after Natsu was an ice mage. Both had advanced senses as they were both dragon slayers, and Natsu loved them both dearly. He also loved his mate, and he could see Gray walking up the path to their house carrying groceries. As soon as the boys noticed him they stopped sparring and ran up to him.

"Daddy, Daddy!" they cheered in unison. "We missed you!" they said as they each wrapped themselves around one of Gray's legs.

"I missed you guys too." the ice mage replied, taking slow steps with his arms full, trying not to drop anything. Natsu saw this and stood up, taking the groceries out of his mate's arms.

"Did ya get meat?" Natsu asked, peering into the bag, hoping to see some delicious red meat.

"Of course I did. Now Hikaru, Izumi, get off so I can help Papa make dinner. You two don't leave the yard, understand?"

"Yes Daddy!" they promised and ran off into the yard to continue sparring.

"Now I get you all to myself." Gray said gleefully walking up behind Natsu who was in the kitchen putting away the food, and wrapped his arms around his husband.

"Not now ice princess. I'm starving." Natsu said trying to ignore Gray as he set aside the package of steaks.

"I wasn't going to do anything." Gray lied, but settled for leaving a trail of kisses down Natsu's neck. "I love you, you know."

"Yeah I know." Natsu sighed. "I love you too." But before they could do anything Hikaru and Izumi stormed in the house.

"We'll continue this later." Gray said as he moved to get a pan from the cabinet.

"Bring it on stripper."

And they lived happily ever after.
