Warnings for this chapter: Mentions of abuse, BxB, and a date is scheduled for Loke and Natsu.

Note: I'm thinking of doing the prequel.

After they left the guild, Loke, Natsu, Laurel, Happy, Plue, and Aries went to Natsu's house. So far Laurel and Aries got along great, which was a good thing. Laurel was only just slightly coming out of her shell, so they still had a long way to go of getting her to trust those close to her. Natsu and Aries were like best friends, like Happy and Laurel were. So Loke was slightly relieved about that. Aries looked at him worriedly, they were standing outside of an ice cream shop, Natsu had taken Happy, Plue, and Laurel in to get them all some ice cream. Loke was thinking about taking Natsu out on a date tonight since it was Saturday, but someone needed to watch Laurel and Happy-he couldn't trouble Mira like that-, unless...

"Hey Aries?" The Gate of the Ram looked at the former Gate of the Lion. "Yes Leo? I mean, Loke?" Aries looked around, hoping Natsu and the others hadn't come out and heard her say that. "Do you mind watching Laurel and Happy tonight? I kind of what to take Natsu out on a date and I don't want to bother Mirajane again.." Loke scratched the back of his neck, Aries smiled. "Of course, I'd love to watch them." It was true, she'd love to watch her new wizard so Loke and Natsu could go on a date. Just then, Natsu, Laurel, Happy and Plue walked out, ice creams in hand. Natsu handed a strawberry one to Loke, which he took gratefully, while Laurel handed Aries a vanilla one, she thanked her and they resumed their journey back to Natsu's house. Natsu and Loke falling behind so they could talk.

"So, Natsu...would you like to go out tonight?" Loke asked, The pyro looked excited, "Yeah sure! But, who's gonna watch them?" Natsu pointed to Laurel and Happy. "I asked Aries if she could watch them." Natsu nodded, "Okay then, sure I'd love to go out!" Loke grinned, "Great! I'll start setting up some plans." They continued talking on the rest of the way to Natsu's house. Where they ate lunch and enjoyed each other's company.

-Time skip-

Loke was putting on his tie, he had made reservations for a high-class restaurant that only made exceptions for wizards. Laurel was coloring in a coloring book that Happy had given her, Aries was sitting on the couch reading a romance novel-yes, Natsu had romance novels, surprised? He was too-, Natsu was putting on his suit jacket, Happy and Plue were playing with a few building blocks that Natsu had there in case Happy got bored when he was away. It was quite peaceful, which was surprising considering it was Natsu's house, but it had been a little more quite since Laurel had come into the picture, as to not give her a panic attack from yelling and loud voices.

Natsu and Loke had finished getting ready and were just about to walk out the door, when they felt small arms encircle their waists, they looked down to see Laurel. "Have fun on your date Mister Loke, Mister Natsu." Loke smiled and patted her head, "You have fun with Aries, alright?" Laurel nodded and went to play with said woman. Loke and Natsu smiled at each other, and walked out, bidding their goodbyes to Happy and Aries-Plue was asleep-.

A few minutes later, they were at their table. Loke grabbed Natsu's hand and intertwined their fingers. "So, we finally have some alone time." Natsu nodded, "Uh-huh. What are we doing after dinner Mr. Date-Planner?" Loke tapped his chin in mock thought. "I was thinking a movie." Before Natsu could say anything, the waiter came and asked for their orders. (You guys can pick what they have if you want.)

"Hey, Natsu?" Loke knew he had to tell him sooner or later. "Yeah Loke?" His pyro asked, "Before I say anything, I just want you to know I love you no matter what." Natsu's brow raised, Loke was slightly worrying him, "I know, I love you too." Loke sighed, "That's good because...I...oh screw it, I'll just say it. Would you believe me if I told you I was a Celestial Spirit before I joined Fairy Tail?" Natsu thought for a moment, "Yeah, I would. Why do you ask?" Silence rang over them. It took a moment before Natsu's eyes widened. "Loke, are you a...?" Loke nodded, "I was. I violated my contract with my previous owner, but I did it to defend Aries. My old owner was abusive towards her spirits." Natsu let the information sink in. "I'm not going to ask what happened, because you don't look like you want to talk about it. But, which one were you?" Loke was honestly surprised, he didn't expect Natsu to take it so well. "I was Leo the Lion." He admitted. Natsu grinned, "You were a big cat?" Loke stared at his boyfriend, before he started laughing. "You know, now that I think about it, it is kind of funny." Their food came, so they ate and talk for the last hour. Little did they know, Aries was telling Laurel about Loke being Leo the Lion as well.

-Time skip-

Laurel was sitting by the door, waiting for Loke-or Leo- and Natsu to get back from their date. Aries had told her about Loke and she wanted to help him the best she could, so she asked Aries if she could try and get Leo's Key from the Spirit King, and she did just that. So here Laurel was, the key of the Lion in hand. Aries had told her the only way to keep Loke from disappearing was to make a contract with him. The doorknob rattled and opened, reveling Loke and Natsu. Loke looked down at her, confused, before his gaze drifted to her hand. His eyes widened and he looked over at Aries, who nodded.

"Mister Loke?" Laurel was suddenly shy again. She feared Loke was going to reject her help, she didn't want him to disappear, she'd grown to think of him as a father. But she hadn't said that, for on that subject she feared rejection as well. The man looked at her, "Yes Laurel?" Laurel held up the key, "C-can I make a contract with you? Miss Aries managed to get your key back.." Loke looked back and forth between the three of them, before he knelt down to Laurel's level and nodded. "R-really?" Laurel asked surprised. "Yeah. Let's make a contract." Loke grinned. Laurel smiled and gave him the key. He disappeared in a flash of bright light, she looked around but couldn't see him, so she turned to Aries. "Where'd he go?" The female spirit smiled softly. "He went to the Spirit World, he might be there for a few minutes but he'll be back soon." She noticed the key on the floor, "Wait a few minutes before you summon him sweetie." She instructed gently. Her wizard nodded.

A few minutes later, Laurel looked at Aries and she nodded, silently telling her that she could summon him. Laurel grabbed Leo's Key and said, "Open! Gate of the Lion! Leo!" Loke-now Leo- appeared before them, he looked slightly different, he was now in a tuxedo, his hair was slightly longer, and he had lion ears, he still had his glasses though. "Now this is something I haven't felt in a while." he said to himself before looking around him, he caught sight of a blushing Natsu, and winked at him. "Like what you see beloved boyfriend?" Natsu nodded dumbly, before realizing what he had said, looking away and turning a darker shade of red.

Leo chuckled and looked at Laurel, he smiled and patted her head. "Now how about that contract?" Laurel nodded, and they made the contract. Leo decided to stay, he looked at Aries and waved. The Gate of the Ram waved back timidly.

Remember when Leo had said that the five of them had been a strange bunch? Add Aries makes six. And Leo wouldn't have it any other way.

Yay! Loke's Leo again! How do you like that? I'll be referring to him as Leo instead of Loke from now on. Just so you don't get confused. Anyway, have a nice day! Bye!
