FAIRY TAIL BELONGS TO HIRO MASHIMA.

...

"Come on Luce, you've been sulking the entire way." Natsu pouted at the woman who walked beside him in silence.

"Are you mad because you had to chase happy down for your underwear?" Natsu glanced at the blue cat flying a short distance ahead of them.

"Or is it because you tripped and fell over, and your skirt flipped." His attempt to hold back his amusement failed miserably and he chuckled.

"Natsu…" Lucy whined.

"That's not it…..Happy…" she sighed in defeat.

"What about him?"

"This is going to spread through the guild like a wildfire." She groaned

"Like the time he told Cana you grabbed my boobs…" Her finger tips rubbed into her temples as if pained by the memory.

"So you don't want anyone to know?" Natsu's disappointment clearly showed in his question.

"I just…"

"You just?"

"I don't know what 'this' is…." Lucy said weakly.

"Actually it's more like I don't know what this means to you." Her faint whisper detected by his sharp ears.

"Luce…" Natsu stopped walking and reached out for her.

"You're my m…"

"Natsuuuu….' Happy sang out playfully, interrupting the dragon slayers confession.

"We're here!" He cheered making both mages look up at the familiar building of their guild.

A loud rumble echoed from Natsu's stomach electing a warm slime from the blonde beside him.

"Maybe Mira will give me a fish." Happy said optimistically as he flew into the guild leaving behind the two 'love birds' as he had called them while flying around with Lucy's panties.

"Come on, let's get something to eat." Natsu pulled at her wrist, grinning in excitement.

"Hmm…I think I'll take a bath first, I'll come by a bit later." Lucy ran her free hand through her hair subconsciously, hesitant about walking into the guild after her encounter in the woods.

"I'll walk you back then." Natsu offered immediately.

"You've never been one to turn down food." Lucy laughed softly.

"Yeah…But…" He scratched his head as he tried to come up with a valid excuse.

"I'll be fine."

"Maybe I'll visit Levy-chan on the way."

"Jeez Luce….Just say yes when someone offers to do something nice for you." He ruffled her hair.

"I'll see you later then." Natsu strode into the guild, not before stealing a last glance at the beautiful blonde mage as the doors swung shut.

...

"Lu-chan." The tiny blue haired girl bounced about in excitement as she pulling Lucy in through the door of her apartment.

"I have a ton of books that I've just finished reading."

"You can have whatever you like." She smiled at Lucy as they made their way towards the wooden desk hiding away behind the numerous shelves of books.

"I would love to Levy-chan but that's not the reason why I came to visit." Lucy shifted around nervously in her seat.

"What is it?" Levy looked concernedly at her friends.

"Well…." Lucy trailed off.

"Come on spit it out." Her eyes beamed with curiosity.

"It's about Natsu…" Lucy's fingers pulled and tangled with one another as they fidgeted beneath the desk.

"What about him." the tiny mage asked excitedly in hopes of a juicy story.

Lucy went on to give her friend a very detailed description of the events that had occur during the last few days, her voice trailing off into a whisper every time she described a particular act that was sexually in nature as if the walls had ears.

Her vivid explanations come out stuttered and reluctant as her face changed into various shades of reds and pinks.

Levy on the other hand listened attentively with large, bright eyes, gasping and even bolding probing the tomato red stellar mage for more details.

"In the woods!" Levy said loudly making the blonde cringe in further embarrassment.

"Yeah…."

"And then when I asked him about his feelings, all I got from him was that I was his "m" thanks to that shitty cat." Lucy fumed, still holding a grudged for the flying panty incident.

Levy's eyes widened as a spark of realization sparked through her mind. She walked over towards the back of the room in search of something important disappearing into the rows of dusty books that lay forgotten at the back.

A loud thump and an agonizing groan triggered a frown of confusion on the blondes face.

"Levy-chan, are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine, just tripped over a pile of books." Levy smiled and rubbed her hand soothing along her rear as she appeared from the paper jungle.

An old, enchanted looking book in her other arm caught Lucy's eye.

The dark brown leather cover was well-worn and the golden stitching around the edges ripped and hung out untidily here and there.

Levy placed the book on the desk causing a huge puff of dust to erupt from around it. Her small fingers tracing over the golden emblem of two dragons intertwined in battle before opening the cover to reveal brown strained pages. The words inside were hand written in a regal and elegant style with exaggerated tails and curls.

"It's a book on dragon slayer magic." Levy answered her unspoken question.

"It's written in an accent language, which makes it unreadable…to most…." She said with a sly smile.

"So what does this have to do with what I just told you?" The thought of Levy's inability to decipher the words never crossed Lucy's mind.

"Everything…"

"Seem like Natsu has chosen you as his mate."

"Mate…?" Lucy repeated in astonishment.

"Hmmm…"Levy responded absentmindedly as she read through the pages.

A cocky smile pulled at Levy's as she quirked up a thin blue brow, finally making sense of the ancient script. She glanced up at Lucy making sure that she had the blonde's attention before reading out the words from the book.

"Just like the mystical dragon, dragon slayers will also choose a mate."

"One and only one partner for all of eternity even after death"

"The two shall share an unbreakable bond greater than that of mortal marriage."

"A mate…Like a wife?" Lucy interrupted curiously.

"That's one way of putting it I guess." Levy replied her nose still buried within the dusty novel.

"Hmm this part explains Natsu's strange behavior." She went on.

"After finding his true mate the dragon slayer will become overwhelmed by the dragon within him"

"Becoming hyper sexual, aggressive and territorial until he has claimed his mate."

Lucy's eyes rolled around as she mentally ticked the encounters that she deemed as 'strange' behavior for Natsu's.

"During the mating his appearance may take on the traits of a dragon." The blue haired mage explained.

"Appearance…? Hmm…Natsu physically changes when he uses his dragon force right?" Levy asked inquiringly.

"So I've heard…I've never actually seen it…" Lucy replied.

"The mating ritual can be aggressive as the dragon slayer seeks pleasure in dominating his mate."

"So basically I play possum while he was his way with me?" The blonde huffed in disapproval causing Levy to chuckle.

"Well that could be fun." She teased before continuing.

"In order for a successful mating the two must in act the sacred exchange of life essence."

"Life essence…Is that magic power?" Lucy's brows knot as she thought over its meaning.

"Actually Lu-chan..."She blushed brightly.

"It more like your blood in exchange for his….you know…." Levy trailed off.

"His what?"

"Come!" The blue haired mage blurred out loudly making Lucy's face heat up.

Her eyes quickly returned to the book.

"There after the mate shall bare the mark of the dragon as a symbol of belonging."

"Ah…these pages are badly faded off, it's gonna take me a bit to figure them out." Levy looked up from the book.

"Lu-chan?" she called out to the blonde who stared blankly at her.

Natsu that idiot!

Why didn't he explain this stuff to me before?

"Gomen Levy-chan it's a bit too much to process at once."

Hmm…Then again I wonder how much he really knows…

Igneel did disappear while he was very young…

I doubt he would have given a kid let alone Natsu a lesson in sex-ed.

"I'm really tired I should head home and take a bath." Lucy smiled absentmindedly as she stood up and walked to the door.

...

Levy closed the door behind her friend, sighing loudly in relief as her back slid against the cool varnished wood.

"Oi shrimp, why'd yah have to kick me so hard?"

Gajeel you asshole…

"I remember telling you to leave when we heard the knock on the door."

"I'm glad I stayed…didn't think Salamander had it in him."

"How much did your hear?"

"Not much….My ears started to rust when bunny girl started talking about his tongue." He said in distaste.

"Oh? I could have sworn it was but a whisper?"

"Gehe…" Gajeel chuckled

"So I listened in, I couldn't help myself ."

"It's not every day you hear a story about the village idiot milking the cow in the woods." Gajeel laughed loudly after putting great emphasis on 'milking the cow' in reference to Lucy's breasts.

"You know if you'd like…We could go for a 'walk' in the woods…" He teased playfully.

"Gajeel you're a moron!" Levy squeaked in irritation, picking up a nearby book and throwing it above the shelves toward the unseen dragon slayer.

She smiled in accomplishment when she heard a loud thump followed by his distinctive groan.

...

"Okay so I'll just stop by for a few minutes before I head home." Lucy blushed darkly as she headed towards the guild.

"Mate uh?" she questioned herself in disbelief as she pushed open the large doors only to be greeted by an unfamiliar silence.

Taking in the sight of her fellow guild members sprawled across the guild in a drunken slumber along with a mass of broken furniture around them, Lucy couldn't help but sigh.

Mira Jane being the only sober member stood behind the bar wiping glasses as usual. She gave a small wave to Lucy as the stellar mage made her way through the mess in search of her partner.

A pink tuff of hair that poked out from beneath a few broken chair pieces caught Lucy's attention, making her smile enthusiastically as she headed in that direction.

"What am I gonna do with you?" She smiled as she kneeled down and reached out to stroke Natsu's pink bangs away from his fore head.

His actually pretty cute when his asleep.

"Ka…Ka…Ka" he mumbled in his sleep.

"Hmm what was that?" Lucy leaned over closer to his mouth.

"KARYŪ NO TEKKEN!" He screamed loudly as his flaming fist collided with Lucy's stunned face, knocking the unsuspecting mage across the guild hall and into a pile off freshly broken furniture.

"Hara, Hara" Mira Jane chuckled.

"Hahaha! Screw you Gray-teme!" Natsu babbled in his sleep.

"Natsu you dumbass…." Lucy groaned weakly from the pile.

...

Idiot….

Lucy huffed as she slid into a pair of pink cotton shorts and a white vest with blue trimmings, the light fabric clung to every damp spots on her soft skin.

The long fragrant bubble bath that she had indulged in had been much appreciated by her sore muscles as well as her hair that happen to be harboring a few dried leaves.

She wiped away the thick mist on the mirror that hindered her vision, stepping back to critic her appearance.

Lucy's frowned as her hands pulled at the thin white material, feeling a bit self-conscious at its lack over coverage in its wet state.

Her hands then skimmed over her silky skin of the exposed thighs, rubbing in the small streaks of body lotion that had been missed earlier.

She combed through her freshly blow dried mane, patting down the imaginary stragglers that stuck out at her roots.

I'm being ridiculous…

His not coming…

His probably still lying unconscious on the guild floor… Lucy puffed her checks in disappointment.

But he did say he'd see me later….

Her bare feet padded along the cool tiles as she reached for the door.

Mate huh? The thought sounded appealing, much to the young mages surprise.

She took in a deep breath before swinging the door open, her stomach twisted and her pulse increasing in anticipation.

Lucy's eyes immediately fell on her empty bed, making her sigh sadly and make her way there even though the idea of sleep seemed rather unappealingly compared to the warm hard body of a certain fire dragon slayer.

A creak from the floor boards caused Lucy to freeze, the hand that reached out for the covers now suspended inanimately in the air.

She twirled around excitedly and her eyes instantly fixed onto the familiar frame lurking in the shadows.

"Natsu!"

...

Nin-Nin Motherfucker!

Natsu crept through Lucy's window silently with his white scaly scarf wrapped around his face and his fingers positioned like a ninja.

He then slithered into the shadows and pressed his back against the wall adjacent to her bed, perfectly concealed by the darkness.

His noise twitched as he took in the scent of the room, suppressing a growl as it stroke his desire.

Lucy….

Why didn't you come back…?

His ears now fixed on the movement in the bathroom.

I could just break the door down….

And take her…hard and fast against the bathroom sink… He smirked at the dark thought.

She'd probably kick me in the face before I even make it through the damn door…

But then again….

I also like to live dangerously…. Natsu chuckled softly and pulled his scarf away from his face.

His breath caught when he heard the bathroom door creak open.

Shit! Act cool…

Maybe I should lean against the wall with my arms crossed and my knee bent like a bad ass…

Or maybe….Fuck

You're so beautiful Luce… He stared in ore as she peaked through the door.

The small sigh she made before making her way into the room stirred up lustful memories.

This time there will be no interruptions … Natsu smirked devilishly.

Heh…I made sure of it…

Your screams and moans will be heard by no other as I claim you as MINE…

The pink haired mage recalled the many guild members he had knocked out and out drank, all of which now lay incapacitated around the guild hall.

He felt slightly guilty at giving Happy one too many fish and sending him of into a deep slumber however that thought vanished as soon as Lucy bent over to pull back the covers.

THAT ASS!

He groaned silently unable to control his body as his legs marched forward. The dragon slayer winced as the floor board creaked catching Lucy's attention.

And there goes my plan to pounce on her from behind….

"Natsu!"

...

To be continued…

...

Ah so here I am after midnight (South African time) eating a sandwich and editing my chapter because I'm shit scared to turn off the lights.

The evil dead or whatever the fuck that movie is called was fucking disturbing. Although I did find the whole toilet spine buster screen hilarious.

So I'm going back to campus next week (AND FUCK THERE'S SOMETHING CROAKING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW) so my updates maybe a bit delayed not longer than a week though.

(Puffs on cigarette* I am going to die before I finish this story!)

This chapter was a bit delayed because I got caught up writing the first chapter of my new nalu, a bit more depth to that story (And yes lemons :))

Will probably post it after I'm done with this story (I still have a long way to go with this one… (Like a lemon or 9 :P)

Oh and Levy and Gajeel were so much fun, I'll be adding in so other characters as we go along.

Chapter turned out really long too…

I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter…

Don't forget to review :)
