Hi there~
We reached Chapter 7 already, oooh yeaaah! I never thought this story would be so long but you know what: now I know that it will be even longer! I finally decided on what will happen until the end of the story, and I still have a lot to tell about Sting and Natsu. So, you guys can look forward to many more chapters. It's not over yet :)
Now on to the next chapter!
Warning: Still Yaoi, Boy x Boy, that will never change during the story, so don't read if you don't like it. Lemon in this chapter! ;)
Disclaimer: Still don't own Fairy Tail either, but I have a lot of Fairy Tail merchandise. Yay!
Enjoy!
„I love you."
Natsu stood still, his eyes wide opened, as Sting's words slowly sank in.
"You… what? You really love me?"
"Yes. I realized it after our first time. I just can't think about anything else but you anymore. My whole world revolves around you."
Natsu gasped and took a step forward. He felt how his heart nearly leaped out of his chest. His whole body felt like it was on fire – more than ever - and he just couldn't believe how lucky he was.
"You're not joking?"
"What kind of awful joke would that be?"
"I-I don't know," Natsu replied and took another step towards Sting, "I'm really overwhelmed right now."
"I'm sorry. I guess it's too early for that but I couldn't wait anymore… Just please, don't dump me without thinking about it. I can give you all the time you need to-"
"I won't dump you, you idiot. I could never do that, especially not after I realized it myself."
Sting looked at Natsu, surprised and confused over what the fire mage meant. Natsu managed to catch up to the White Dragon and directly stood in front of him, their bodies nearly touching. The Fire Dragon put his hands on Sting's chest and stood up on his tip-toes until their eyes were on the same level.
"This is all new to me, but I think I've realized it. Enough to answer you without regretting it. I love you too, Sting."
Before Sting could reply Natsu leaned forward and pressed his lips onto Sting's. The blond guild master froze in his spot until his mind started to work again. His eyes fluttered closed as his arms sneaked around Natsu's waist, pulling him against his body while fireworks exploded inside of him. Sting couldn't believe that he wasn't dreaming right now, but even if it was a dream, he had to enjoy it.
Just as Sting opened his mouth to deepen the kiss the Fire Dragon pulled away.
"Every time I kiss you my whole body feels so good and warm that I could melt in your arms. I hate these annoyingly sweet things that come to my mind when I think about you, but I guess it's part of being in love."
Sting gulped as he saw the earnest determination burning in Natsu's eyes and felt a heavy boulder being lifted from his soul.
"You can't believe how happy I am right now," Sting quietly whispered while still holding onto the smaller mage tightly. "I'm not dreaming?"
"No, you're not. It's true. I love you, Sting."
"Oh god, don't say it again or I'll get a heart attack," the White Dragon muttered as he felt a sweet ache in his chest. Natsu laughed softly and pressed a gentle kiss on the other's lips.
"I could say it all day."
"No please, I really am feeling dizzy. There are… a lot of things that are spinning around in my head. I'm not feeling good Natsu," Sting slurred as his knees went weak and nearly gave out under his weight if he hadn't been holding onto the other Dragon Slayer.
Natsu gripped onto Sting tightly and supported his body. "Hey, Sting, what's wrong? Do you need to rest?"
Sting only nodded as an answer.
"Alright, I'll lead you to my house. There we can both rest; I'm still a bit tired from the train ride. Come on, we'll be alone there."
Sting threw his arm around Natsu's shoulders as they slowly made their way to the Fire Dragon's house, holding onto each other for the whole walk there. Natsu felt horribly guilty because he believed Sting's sickness was due to the White Dragon seeing him and Lisanna kiss.
He couldn't know that Sting's dizziness wasn't Natsu's fault at all, but the evil thought's that had filled Sting's mind while he escaped from the kissing scene. The White Dragon fought against those dark visions and concentrated on repeating one important sentence over and over again in his mind:
"Everything is alright, because Natsu loves me too."
Sting slumped down on Natsu's couch with a sigh. The Fire Dragon worried about his boyfriend and nearly ran to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for him. Yet Sting felt incredibly awful as he couldn't fully enjoy what had happened:
Natsu finally belonged to him. Not just his body, but his heart as well. He had won, and still his mind was plagued by dark thoughts. He had to shake them off and concentrate on their new relationship status.
Maybe he just hadn't realized it yet. Everything had happened so fast – first he saw Natsu kissing that stupid girl, then he thought everything was over and before he could even run away Natsu had confessed his feelings. Was he still dreaming?
"There, drink it. Do you have a headache? Happy keeps some medicine here for the worst cases, so if you need anything-"
"No, no, a glass of water is fine. I just need a little rest. Come, sit next to me. Your presence always calms me."
Natsu blushed. Sting's words were muttered in such a serious tone that he couldn't even question if he was exaggerating or not. He simply obeyed his wishes and sat down next to the White Dragon, scooting closer to him until their shoulders were touching.
Sting put the glass to his lips and sipped on the water inside. Although Natsu's whole house had this cozy and warm atmosphere, the water was refreshingly cold. He sighed again as the cool drink calmed his nerves and threw an arm around Natsu's shoulders, drawing him in a little further.
"Thanks for the water. So, how was your mission? Everything went good?"
"Wha-? Y-Yeah, yeah, it was successful. Not too hard and not too easy, but nothing serious happened. Everything went according to the plan," Natsu spoke after his confusion about Sting's weird behavior vanished. He cuddled into the strong chest of his boyfriend and enjoyed the warmth that spread around both of their bodies, as if it was a natural thing already for Natsu's flames to slowly encompass Sting's body when they were together.
"That's good. You weren't hurt on the mission?"
"No, nothing serious, some small scratches and bumps but they're all gone already. How was your week?"
"It was good. And boring," Sting sighed and took another sip of his water. "I got a lot of work done but I constantly missed you."
"I missed you too," the Fire Dragon mumbled into Sting's chest and pressed a gentle kiss on his body.
"But I worked so much that Rogue allowed me to take a break tomorrow. I'm free the whole weekend. So… I wanted to spend it with you but to be honest, I made no real plans. I just wanted to relax with you. Is that okay?"
Natsu looked up at Sting's face with a wide grin plastered on his own. "Really?! We can spend the whole weekend together?"
"Only if you don't mind-"
Sting was cut off by Natsu's cry of joy and the sudden tight embrace around his neck. He was quickly infected by his Fire Dragon's happiness and started to forget all about their previous problems.
"Do you want to do something special?" Sting asked after Natsu's excitement slowly shrank down a little.
"Not really special but… could we go to your place? I'd like to see where you live, if that's okay with you…" Natsu muttered as a faint blush adorned his cheeks. Sting smiled and planted a soft kiss on the other's forehead.
"Of course it's okay. I could ask Rogue to prepare a tasty dinner. He's a pretty good cook."
"For real? He doesn't seem to be the…"
"Housewife type?" Sting finished and laughed at Natsu's dumbfounded expression. "You must never tell him what I said or he might kill us both."
"Alright, I'll keep quiet. I still want to spend a lot of time with you."
"Me too," the White Dragon Slayer replied, put his glass on the messy table in front of Natsu's couch and pulled the smaller mage on his lap. "I want to experience so many things with you. I want to do a lot of stupid couple stuff like cooking together, taking love-sick photos, enjoying a hot bath together, everything."
"You're so romantic it hurts," Natsu said with a soft grunt and with one hand stroked through Sting's blond locks. "I never imagined I'd even want to do such sappy things, but when you say it they actually sound nice. You're ruining my cool, chaotic and destructive image."
"As soon as others find out about our relationship we'll only be known as the two 'lovey-dovey dragons' and they'll all forget about our strength."
"If they really do forget about it, we'll just have to kick their asses," Natsu grumbled. While he looked at his lover he could see a soft smile on Sting's lips and felt warmth spreading around his heart that left him sitting on Sting's lap in a happy daze. "But I don't mind being lovey-dovey dragons in private. After all, I love you."
Sting gasped and stared into Natsu's dark brown eyes. "You said it again."
"Is it not good when I say it?" Natsu asked disappointed and raised a brow as Sting suddenly started to blush.
"N-No, it's just… I still can't believe it. It's too amazing to believe."
"But I do love you. And you really love me, right?"
"Right. I've loved you from the beginning."
"Then let me show you that I love you," Natsu said with such a serious expression on his face that Sting couldn't even think of denying whatever his lover had in mind.
"Show me?"
"I want to make love to you," the Fire Dragon mumbled and tried to sound determined enough without getting embarrassed.
"Make love to me? You mean sex? We've already slept with each other several times, I don't see a difference when-"
"I want to be on top," Natsu blurted out. That caught the White Dragon off guard.
"You mean, like… riding me? Or…"
"Or the other thing, yeah. I want to be the one who… you know. S-Sticks it in," the Fire Dragon stuttered and felt a hot burning on his cheeks. Sting couldn't help his own blush from rising before he let out a quiet giggle.
"You're so shy when it comes to sex. Why don't you clearly say that you want to fuck me?"
"I-It's embarrassing, idiot…"
"It's okay," Sting agreed and softly caressed Natsu's lower back. "You can top me."
"R-Really?"
"I told you from the start that I don't mind switching the roles from time to time. But it will be my first time bottoming so… let's be gentle today."
"You, afraid of the pain?" Natsu laughed and yelped as Sting pinched his butt in revenge. "I already planned on being gentle so don't worry, dragon princess."
"If you don't stop with that I'll change my mind and punish you," Sting growled. Natsu felt a rush of excitement and leaned down until their lips were nearly touching.
"Then I'll be quiet before I change my mind as well…"
Their gentle kisses gradually became more passionate. Natsu tangled his fingers in Sting's hair, holding the blond head possessively while his tongue glided into the White Dragon's mouth. Sting quietly moaned into their heated kiss and groped Natsu's ass with both of his hands, ripping a deep groan from the fire mage's throat.
"Play with it as much as you want, you won't get my ass tonight," the pink haired Dragon Slayer huskily whispered against Sting's wet lips before he claimed them again, thrusting his tongue inside the other's mouth, mimicking the things he would be doing to Sting later that night.
Natsu involuntarily rocked his hips against Sting's lower body, making them both groan into the kiss at the delicious friction he created. Sting couldn't wait anymore, took a strong grip around Natsu's waist and pushed them up from the couch. Without breaking the kiss, the smaller mage clung to Sting's body while Sting slowly made his way upstairs to Natsu's bedroom.
As soon as they reached the closed bedroom door, Sting pushed the smaller Dragon Slayer against it and let him slide down back on his feet. Natsu still had one arm around Sting's neck, bringing his face down so they wouldn't have to end their wild kissing, as his free hand searched for the doorknob behind his back. Natsu opened the door and the two lovers stumbled inside, leaving it unclosed as they didn't care about such trivial details anymore.
Natsu took over the initiative and pushed Sting towards his bed while running his hands over the muscular body. Sting walked backwards until his legs touched the bed frame, gripped Natsu again and sat down, pulling the fire mage onto his lap. Natsu let go of Sting's lips and attacked his neck instead, repaying him for their last night where the White Dragon left one love bite after another on Natsu's body.
"First you're all shy and quiet and as soon as we're kissing you're the wild dragon again," Sting chuckled while Natsu licked and kissed all over his neck. The fire mage growled and tugged on Sting's crystal earring with his teeth before licking over a sensitive spot right under his earlobe.
"It's your fault. You're driving me crazy with your kisses alone. And you're no different than me so stop talking and lie down while I'm going to devour your sexy body!"
Sting was to reply something cocky but he wanted to grant Natsu his wish of being the domineering part tonight. Honestly, he really liked how demanding and sexy the Fire Dragon could be when he was aroused. He would do everything that Natsu wanted, and he would obey his every order.
"As you wish, my horny dragon," Sting spoke and fully crawled onto Natsu's bed. Natsu stayed on top of the blond guild master and continued with his kisses on Sting's neck. He searched for a good spot, sucked on it until Sting gasped out a little moan, and then searched for another place; all of it while his hands stroked over Sting's chiseled abs and his lower body pressed down against Sting's groin, rotating ever so slightly.
They were lost in their own world and nobody could have brought them back from it. Sting closed his eyes and enjoyed all of Natsu's caresses, sighing, gasping and moaning occasionally. Natsu was so focused on Sting that he forgot everything, his aching muscles from the mission, the little sickness in his stomach that was left from the long train ride; everything left his mind as he kissed and loved every inch of his lover's body.
A pile of clothes decorated the floor next to Natsu's bed while the temperature in the room rose even higher. Undressing didn't take them long as they were getting wilder with every second. By the time Natsu threw Sting's boxers to the ground, the White Dragon already had a throbbing hard-on pressed against his stomach.
"You're looking really horny, all built up like that," Natsu whispered huskily and licked his lips.
"You're one to talk. I can see you're just as hard. Tell me, have you been touching yourself during the last week?"
Natsu just wanted to dive down and devour Sting's cock, but his question got him curious. "I couldn't. Every time I wanted to there was always someone around. What about you?"
"Well… I had to resist touching myself every night so that I wouldn't be exhausted when you come back. I tried my best, but during an all-nighter with work in my office I couldn't control it anymore. I just had to do it or I would have gone mad."
Natsu grinned evilly, pushed Sting's legs apart and crouched down in between them.
"So you touched this delicious cock… like this?" He asked as his hand gripped the hardened length in front of him. Sting groaned loudly and let his head fall back against Natsu's pillow.
"Yeah… like that."
"What were you thinking about while you touched yourself?" The Fire Dragon continued, his strokes starting teasingly long and slow.
"I was so… nngh horny that I came while you were giving me a blowjob… ooh god your hand feels so good Natsu –"
"So you want to get a blowjob from me?" Natsu teased and puffed hot air against Sting's throbbing erection.
"Yeeaah… use your incredible mouth on me…"
"Beg for it," the Fire Dragon whispered and started sucking on his free hand, licking his fingers until they were dripping with saliva. He watched as Sting struggled to hold himself back from thrusting into Natsu's hand, wanting to only feel his hot mouth.
"Come on Natsu… stop with the teasing already and please do me- ah!" Sting moaned as Natsu suddenly pressed a finger inside. The feeling was so new and weird that he momentarily lost his focus, until he was taken by surprise as Natsu's burning mouth finally engulfed his hard length.
"N-Natsuu… fuck this feels good…"
Natsu grinned around Sting's cock and flicked his tongue over the head while he thrust his second finger inside. Sting let out a pained noise and tried to back away from Natsu's fingers, which brought him deeper into the hot mouth, washing away the pain with pleasure.
"I-I told you to be… aah gentle…!" Sting shuddered and gripped the sheets with one hand while the other reached down to the pink hair.
Natsu briefly let go of Sting's cock to speak.
"I will be gentle. Just relax," he whispered against the warm skin and gave the length a lick from base to tip, all the while softly rubbing his fingers inside of Sting's tight hole. He twisted and swirled them inside, slowly thrusting in and out, as his mouth started to suck on Sting's hard cock.
Natsu noticed that Sting was still fully there, not losing control yet, so he pressed deeper and searched for the right spot he knew would feel incredible. The Fire Dragon knew he had found it when Sting suddenly cried out and for the first time and thrust his hips down on Natsu's fingers, moaning loudly.
"A-Again! Fuck who knew this would be soo good… ahh!"
"I knew it will be good," Natsu whispered and continued with sucking on the throbbing head, licking away the first drops of pre-cum that leaked out of the slit. Carefully he pressed in his third finger, brushing against Sting's prostate with all three of them. The White Dragon roared out in pleasure and the control over his body snapped as he started to frantically thrust his hips down and up, wanting to feel more of both sensations.
As more pre-cum leaked out of the slit, Natsu decided it was time to stop with his mouth before his lover would come too soon. He pulled his fingers out of the prepared hole, leaving a small emptiness behind that already frustrated Sting, and leaned over to his bed side table. Sting opened his eyes in a hazy daze and watched Natsu pulling out the bottle of lube he kept, rubbing the slippery liquid on his own hard cock and squirting some on Sting's hole as well.
"Damn... that thing's cold."
"Don't worry, I'm going to heat you up."
Natsu threw the bottle on their pile of clothes and fully leaned down on Sting's body. While their chests were pressed against each other, Natsu used one hand to position his cock at Sting's entrance. He leaned down and connected their lips in a passionate kiss as his body pressed forward, the thick head slowly entering and stretching Sting.
The White Dragon loudly moaned into Natsu's mouth as he was gradually filled with the fire mage's burning length. He gripped Natsu's back and sank his nails into his lover's shoulder blades, eyes shut tight while Natsu continued spreading the blond, groaning all the while.
"Haa… it's all in now. Does it hurt?" Natsu asked worried and stroked over Sting's cheek. The blond mage opened his lust filled eyes and gasped with every breath.
"N-No it's okay. It feels… strange but good. Yeah, pretty good," Sting huskily answered and rocked his hips, moaning at the movement. Natsu bit his lip as he stared into his lover's pleasured face, feeling the tight warmth around his cock. He remembered his dream in that first night of his mission, how he had pounded into the White Dragon, claiming him, marking him as his own.
But now, he felt different. He didn't feel the raging lust and the need to fuck Sting wildly. He wanted to really feel their passion, their bodies combined, and every pleasurable sensation.
Natsu let go of Sting's cheek and gripped his lover's arms, pulling them away from his back. He pressed them next to the blonds' head on the mattress and linked his fingers with both of Sting's hands. The White Dragon stopped with the rocking of his body and stared into Natsu's eyes with a confused and surprised face.
"I told you I want to show it to you. I love you," Natsu whispered, and while strongly holding Sting's hands he slowly pulled himself out of the tight hole before gently pressing back inside. Sting's half lidded eyes locked with Natsu's as he let out a long moan, feeling every inch of the fire mage's cock as it entered him again.
"I really love you," Natsu repeated and built up a steady rhythm, gently thrusting in and out, focusing on brushing against the right spot with every thrust. Sting gasped and moaned continually, still gazing into Natsu's eyes and holding each other's hands.
"I realize it now. Everything that Igneel told me makes sense. I'm in love with you."
"N-Natsu… ahh…"
"I love you Sting," the fire mage vowed and leaned down to seal his confession with a kiss. His thrusts were slowly getting faster, sweat building on both of their bodies. Sting kissed back passionately and gripped Natsu's hands harder, whimpering into their kiss every time Natsu hit his prostate.
They were getting closer to the edge when Natsu ended their kiss, dropped his head to Sting's neck and thrust harder into the White Dragon. He panted and groaned; Sting moaned and writhed under Natsu's body. Their movements were getting faster and wilder, until one particularly hard thrust directly hit Sting's weak spot.
Sting's eyes rolled back as he moaned Natsu's name, shooting his white semen on both of their stomachs. The increased tightness around Natsu's cock brought him to his own orgasm, spurting his seed deep into Sting's ass.
Panting like crazy, Natsu dropped down on top of Sting and rested there as they both tried to calm down. Sting let go of Natsu's hands and hugged the smaller Dragon Slayer, completely crushing their bodies together.
"I love you, too, Natsu," he spoke as Natsu slowly came back to his senses, kissing the side of Sting's neck while he gently pulled his spent cock out of his lover.
"Now we aren't virgins anymore, in both positions," Natsu laughed as he rolled to the side, dropping down next to Sting.
"Yeah. That felt really good."
"Are you hurt?"
"No, not a bit. I… never had sex that gentle before. Now I wish I had been like that on our first night," Sting sighed as he turned his body to Natsu and hugged him protectively.
"Don't worry about that. I loved our first time, I loved every night after that, and I loved this time."
"Okay. I think I like gentle and romantic sex. But we can still have rough nights, right?" Sting asked and earned a laugh from the pink haired mage.
"Of course we'll have rough sex. We're dragons."
"Then I wish to be fucked hard by my sexy dragon next time," the White Dragon growled huskily and rocked his hips against Natsu's.
The fire mage groaned and playfully bit into Sting's lower lip. "Stop that or next time will be in a few minutes."
"As much as I'd like that, I'm really exhausted."
"Me too. Let's just sleep for a while and talk about everything else later."
"What about cleaning up?" Sting asked, but Natsu only shook his head and nuzzled his head into the taller mage's chest.
"Don't want to. Just sleep."
"We'll be all sticky later if we don't clean up now."
"Then we'll take a shower together after sleeping. Close your eyes and cuddle me, understood?"
Sting laughed quietly and gave up, letting his lover win. He closed his eyes and pressed his nose against Natsu's soft hair, breathing in his scent. His whole body filled with satisfaction and happiness, it didn't take Sting long to fall into a peaceful slumber.
"Natsuuu. Sting. Wake up already," a shrill voice echoed and slowly pulled the two Dragon Slayers out of their regenerating sleep. Sting grumbled as Natsu started to move in his arms and opened his eyes, annoyed and still tired.
As he saw Natsu's blue little companion, Sting was glad that he had pulled the blankets over their naked bodies before they completely drifted off into their dream worlds. Natsu had already opened his eyes as well and tried to put everything together while Happy stood by their feet, looking rather exhausted than surprised.
"Finally. You two sleep like rocks!" Happy complained and crossed his little arms in front of his white chest.
"Happyyy… what do you want? I'm tired," Natsu mumbled and dropped his head down into Sting's chest again, pulling the blankets a little further upwards. Happy sighed and summoned his wings, floating over the two mages.
"I wanted to make dinner now, so I had to ask if you want to eat something. And if Sting stays over and wants something, too."
Sting looked at the smaller mage in his arms and wondered if it was okay to stay over. They hadn't talked about any further plans for the weekend except a visit to his own apartment. Would Natsu want him to go or…?
"Yeah I want something. And Sting stays so make enough for three."
… That's cleared, then. Sting was a bit surprised but he cracked a smile soon afterwards. Natsu was still extremely tired and waved at Happy to leave, cuddling back against Sting's body. The White Dragon looked at the flying cat and apologized.
"Aye, it's okay Sting, I know what he's like when he's really tired. Make sure you're downstairs in 30 minutes, alright?"
"Yes, thank you."
Happy smiled and flew out of the room, closing the door behind him. Sting let out a sigh and pulled the blankets down a bit, gently shaking his lover's shoulder to wake him.
"No… we still have 30 minutes, can't we stay in bed?"
"I told you we need a shower. Come on, let's wash up."
Natsu grumbled annoyed and cracked his eyes open again, staring at his energetic boyfriend.
"Why are you so cheerful already? I'm fucking tired…"
"I'm happy because you said that I'm staying over. I want to take a shower with you, eat with you and go back to bed with you. It feels like we're living together!"
Natsu mumbled something that Sting couldn't hear and leaned up, pressing his lips onto Sting's in a tender way. Sting smiled into the kiss and returned the loving gesture, stroking through the pink strands of Natsu's hair. As they finally managed to pull away from each other, Natsu got out of bed and scratched the back of his head.
"I'm up, let's take a shower."
Sting grinned and followed Natsu to the bathroom, staring at the fire mage's ass as they walked. They scrambled into the shower together, turned on the water and agreed on a warm, yet not scalding temperature before they started washing their bodies thoroughly. Sting scrubbed the dried semen from their chests while Natsu reached around the taller mage and gently sprayed water on his butt, massaging the slight ache away as well. They tried to concentrate on washing only, not touching any overly sensitive body parts of the other, because they knew 30 minutes weren't enough for them if they started now again.
As soon as they were all cleaned up, Natsu turned off the water and got out of the shower first, fetching one clean towel from a shelf next to it. He handed it over to Sting and heated up his own body temperature, drying himself in an instant.
"Wow, that's pretty useful," commented Sting and wrapped the towel around his waist after he was finished. He followed Natsu back to the bedroom and searched for his clothes in the pile on the ground. Natsu put on some clean underwear, jogging pants and a loose shirt. The Fire Dragon even started cleaning the bed by changing the sheets and stuffing the used ones in a filled basket of other dirty laundry.
The White Dragon stared at his boyfriend's casual outfit and did his best to stay calm. Who would have thought that chaotic Natsu Dragneel could look so handsome in a loose shirt and some jogging pants?
"Sting, you're staring," Natsu pointed out as he had finished with cleaning the bed and turned back to the blond mage.
"O-Oh, sorry. It's just, you're looking really good. I think I like that casual style on you," Sting confessed and quickly put on his own clothes, wishing he had brought some comfortable stuff with him. Natsu blushed a bit and stuttered a thank you, waiting for Sting to get ready.
Before they left the room together, Sting drew his shorter lover into his arms and gave him a passionate kiss. Natsu gladly returned it and playfully grabbed Sting's butt, before they pulled away from each other and walked downstairs, joining Happy in the kitchen.
"… And that's how we're now a real couple in love," Natsu ended his explanation to his little partner, who had been listening intently.
"That sounds nice. Aye! I'm really happy for you!" The blue cat exclaimed and joyfully bit into his fresh fish. Sting had to smile during their whole conversation, already excited to tell his own friends at home the same things later on. He wanted to tell them with Natsu at his side, and as soon as possible.
The realization of what had happened finally sank in with every word the fire mage spoke. They were together! They were in love! He wasn't dreaming. It was all true. Sting couldn't understand anymore why he had been so out of it after Natsu's confession. He was the luckiest man in the world right now.
"So, when are you going to tell everybody?" Happy asked and pulled the White Dragon out of his thoughts.
"I don't know…" Natsu started and looked at his lover questioningly, "Is it okay for you to be in a relationship?"
"I think being in love isn't really problematic. The fact that I'm in a gay relationship with a mage of another guild is a bigger problem. We could ask Rogue what he thinks about breaking the news to the press, but I think it's safest to ask the Magic Council personally first. When they give their approval to make it official, we can give an interview for the 'Sorcerer Magazine', they are currently bugging me for one anyway, and then..."
"Wow, you sure are a celebrity," Natsu interrupted and stared at his boyfriend. He didn't know Sting was that famous since he became Sabertooth's new guild master.
"I have a lot of annoying work to do for a celebrity."
"Is it okay for you to spend so much time with Natsu then, Sting?" Happy asked with wide eyes, chewing on his delicious fish. Sting smiled as he saw Natsu's worried face and quickly reassured him that it was okay.
"I've got a lot of good friends who help me with my work. Once in a while I can even go on a mission with Rogue and the cats. And I like spending time with Natsu, which sets me in a good mood, which results in me doing my job diligently and being motivated. Rogue approves!"
"Then I'm relieved. I don't want to be a burden to you," Natsu smiled and took another bite of his own food.
"You will never be a burden to me. I love you too much to even think something like that."
"Thank you. I love you, too."
"I'm surprised how quickly you two became unbearable," Happy chimed in and earned a laugh from the two Dragon Slayers. "I think you should do what Sting said and stay quiet before everything's cleared. Although it may be a bit tricky…"
"What do you mean by that?" Natsu asked and cast a worried glance at his blue cat.
"There was quite some talk in the guild today. Lisanna came running inside crying like crazy. Of course everyone immediately gathered around her and asked what happened, so she told everyone that you turned her down, saying you're in a relationship before you left her and ran away… Elfman was really angry because you made his little sister cry. Everybody else was pretty shocked to hear that you're in a relationship and it didn't take long until everybody in Fairy Tail heard of the news. You have to think up a lot of excuses for the next days," Happy told and felt bad to destroy the good mood with his news.
"Perfect. Just what we needed right now," Natsu groaned and stuffed the rest of his meat into his mouth, chewing it a bit too aggressively. He didn't want to deal with everybody's questions. It had been hard enough to tell his closest friends about it, and now everybody would pester him, begging for information.
"I guess that means we have to be extra careful about who sees us together in public. Maybe we should refrain from outside dates before everything is settled…" Sting suggested and earned a pout from his pink haired fire mage.
"We're finally together for real and can't go on dates? That sucks…"
"But Sting is right, Natsu. You have to be careful. Fairy Tail will curiously keep an eye on all of your actions now, one false word or picture will directly lead to a rumor following another. I don't think that's good for your reputation – and definitely not good for Sting's if he gets involved in the rumors before he got the approval of the Magic Council."
Sting was surprised how mature Happy viewed the situation. He thought the blue cat was as naive and simple-minded as Natsu could be sometimes, but hearing him talk this seriously caught the White Dragon off guard. These little Exceeds aren't to be underestimated.
"Okay, I understand. But I still want to go to your place, and have secret dates with you," Natsu insisted which brought another smile on Sting's face. The White Dragon reached out and grabbed Natsu's hand, stroking it softly with his thumb.
"Of course we're going to have dates. And we can go to my place tomorrow. You can stay over as well if you want to."
"That sounds nice. Is it okay to leave you alone, Happy?" Natsu asked and started to feel a little guilty. He didn't want to neglect his best friend.
"Don't worry Natsu. I'm happy for you, so I don't mind if you're not home once in a while. In the future, I'm going to be with Carla after all, so we can't live together forever. I'm sure she won't be happy with having you around every day."
Natsu laughed and left Happy in his dream world involving Carla, fish and many little kittens. He looked over at his blond boyfriend and caught Sting staring at him, grinning happily. And Natsu felt the same way.
Later that night, after the three of them cleaned the table together, Happy announced he would sleep on the couch in the living room, not wanting to disturb their privacy. After talking for a while, Natsu and Sting went upstairs, getting ready for an early rest. The tiredness sank in again, so they only took off their clothes down to their underwear and climbed into Natsu's bed together, drawing the blankets over their bodies. Like before, Natsu cuddled up against Sting's chest, throwing one arm around Sting's back, while the White Dragon protectively hugged the smaller mage and nuzzled his nose into Natsu's pink hair.
As they drifted off to sleep for the second time that day, Natsu imagined what it would be like to live with the White Dragon. Everything had went so fast the last weeks. Only one month ago he still had been a virgin, never thinking about any romantic relationships, and now he had a boyfriend whom he came to love dearly. Living together with Sting seemed like a beautiful idea, waking up every morning with the other Dragon Slayer by his side, sharing their meals together, talking about their day before having incredibly good sex and falling asleep together in each other's arms.
Natsu wished that wonderful scenario in his head would come true one day. But there still were some problems they had to take care of before that could happen.
That was Chapter 7. I really hope you liked it!
