Chapter 11
Love is the Future
"Love overcomes the past and welcomes the future." - Sting Eucliffe
Two months later...
"WHAT?! I AIN'T WEARING THAT FUCKING DRESS!" a hollering Natsu was being prepared at the dressing room (correction: bedroom) of Gray's apartment as two girls were trying their best to make the pinkette wear the dress. Lucy and Levy were already done with the hair and make-up, however, dresses seemed to be Natsu's enemy.
"You've done crossdressing in your life, Natsu! Don't be such a wuss!" Lucy was trying to get near Natsu but the pinkette just kept moving away. Until he bumped on someone at the door.
"I see that it took a handful for you to agree on this dress, Natsu?" the familiar thrilling voice rang loudly in Natsu's ears which sent shivers to his spine.
"E-Erza..." the pinkette froze as Erza requipped and pointed her sword at Natsu threateningly.
"You'll wear it and you'll look beautiful, Natsu. Believe me." Erza's voice was too soft to be true, making Natsu nod at forced agreement.
"A-Aye!" Natsu saluted and sat politely at the chair in front of the mirror.
"Whew. Thank Mavis it was Erza." Lucy sighed and began working on Natsu's fading make-up and Levy just nodded.
"I would appreciate it for now..." Levy said and began her work. Erza watched in satisfaction as the two girls worked.
Since Natsu's hair grew longer, Lucy suggested that it would be rolled into a bun where the veil would be stuck. They decided to put light make-up since Natsu was a boy in nature and they don't wanna risk the pinkette having allergies on cosmetic products. The lipstick was a perfect shade of pink, rivaling Natsu's hair. Levy worked on the mascara and eyebrow marker while Lucy finished the cheeks. The duo had playful smirks at their faces, reassuring Natsu that when Gray sees him, the ice mage's jaw will drop dead on the ground.
The wedding dress was an intricate work of art. Natsu requested (was forced to request for a dress instead of a suit) for a dress that will cover his whole body, since it would be too awkward when people saw a muscle man in a silky wedding dress. However, Natsu's body was getting in shape so it would not be an issue. The sleeves were transparent, as well as the upper chest part. Intricate flower designs were spread throughout the dress, which flowed down to the floor, having a long tail of silk cloth following suit. The pinkette almost felt nauseous of what would he look like when he wore that cursed dress.
What felt like hours passed and Natsu was already in the dress. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, he stirred and shifted a bit to find the right position as to where the dress would simply cooperate with him. It wasn't itchy, but it makes one very tight dress. The curves and bumps of Natsu's body embossed by it.
"Look Natsu, you're beautiful!" Lucy clapped once at her and Levy's work of art. Natsu was really looking like a maiden.
"I am not!" Natsu scowled at the blonde, who was already wearing her blue dress for the wedding. Levy was in a silver gown with a rose brooch in the middle of her chest. Erza, dressed in majestic scarlet high-hilted gown, looked very impressed at Natsu's transformation.
"Why not look at yourself on the mirror?" Levy offered with a smile which Natsu accepted reluctantly. However;
"Is this me?" Natsu almost shouted in horror as he took in the visage of a beautiful bride in him. The make-up fitted perfectly in his face. The dress outlined his sexy body. The bosom in his belly was hidden a bit as well, making it hardly recognizable.
"Surprised, aren't we?" Lucy asked with a flash of inspiration. She should do this more often.
"I... I c-can't believe... it." Natsu stuttered and covered his mouth with a gloved hand.
"We neither. It just came out naturally for you, Natsu." Levy added, her tandem with Lucy was the best.
"T-Thanks... I guess?" Natsu scratched the back of his head awkwardly, trying not to ruin the dress.
"You'll definitely thank us more later." Lucy winked at him and Levy was ready to go. Erza left a while ago to check the guests coming at the reformed cathedral in Magnolia.
Wendy came rushing in and stopped as she covered her face's blush.
"Natsu-nii?" the sky dragon slayer almost shouted at the scene in front of her.
"A-ano... Wendy..." Natsu looked away with a deep shade of red on his cheeks.
"Natsu-nii! Kirei na desu yo!" Wendy's outburst made Natsu gasp. Was he really beautiful?
"A-arigatou, Wendy. Uhm, care to tell why you're here?" Natsu asked. Wendy brightened up as she remembered her task.
"Oh! Erza-san said that everything's ready. We should be there as soon as possible." Wendy reported and Lucy, Levy nodded.
"This is it, Natsu. Show them how gorgeous you are." Lucy held the pinkette's hands and wished him the best. Natsu nodded and got ready as well.
The cathedral was not so far, but it will require a transportation. Natsu tried his best not to throw up even if it was just a carriage. Good thing Porlyusica has given him anti-motion sickness pills so he can pull it off. Lucy and Levy were making final retouches because Natsu was sweating profoundly. Lucy almost yelled at him, telling him to relax as they went on with the short trip.
"So, is my brother ready?" Lyon teased the ice mage standing in front of the altar. Gray just scoffed at that.
"Stop bothering me. I didn't want you to be my best man, idiot." the ice mage frowned at his surrogate brother.
"But you had no choice since I'm the last possible relative you have, right?" Lyon held out his trump card and Gray sighed in defeat.
"Tch. Whatever."
Everyone looked outside the cathedral when they saw a carriage arrived. First to get down was Levy, much to Gajeel's delight. Not longer after, Lucy got down next. Gray had been sweating as he anticipated his groom-bride. When Natsu finally got down;
"Is that Natsu?!" all of the people inside the cathedral shouted in pure astoundment, looking at how beautiful Natsu had become. Gray, as Lucy expected, had his jaw dropped dead on the ground. Even the straight boys gasped at what they saw. Freed almost choked to see a rival in having looks like a pretty man.
"Natsu..." Gray blushed a million times over.
Lucy and Levy were trailing behind Natsu as he walked, holding the gown's tail so as not to make it a hindrance while the pinkette was walking towards the altar.
"Impossible! How did they do that?!" Gajeel felt like eating his words before, looking funny as he saw how beautiful Natsu had become.
The girls were drooling at Natsu, wishing they had the same fate as him. Seriously, how did a manly warrior of Fairy Tail became a pretty young maiden?
"Sorry for pulling your leg. But hell, you're one gorgeous fellow, Salamander." Gajeel admitted as he led the pinkette at the altar. Natsu had chosen him personally as his escort, knowing how much of a brother Gajeel was to him.
"Thanks Gajeel." Natsu suppressed a blush but failed miserably.
"Told you, Natsu's cute." Loke said from behind Gray.
"Don't you dare hit on him, pervert." Gray sent a glare towards the Lion's direction.
"Says the one who were noisy at the onsen hotel room one night." Loke smirked at the truth.
"Fuck you." Gray snarled at him, earning a chuckle from Lyon as well.
"I swear, Gray. That sound killed my innocent ears! Good thing Juvia-chan was taking a bath when that happened." Lyon said informatively and Gray just tsked at him.
"No one said for you to listen, asshole!" Gray growled and returned to watching Natsu walk the aisle with Gajeel.
When Natsu reached the aisle, Gajeel handed him to Gray. The ice mage thanked Gajeel and led the way for him and Natsu.
"You look so damn beautiful, Waifu-chan." Gray whispered to Natsu, sending jolts of electricity throughout the dragon slayer's body.
"GRAY! B-Baka..." Natsu shouted and everyone looked mad at Gray, especially Erza. Wow, the whole guild was on Natsu's side.
"Ahem! Shall we get started, then?" the priest asked, earning a nod from the couple. A prayer was started after that. A few of this and that then it came to the 'vows' moment.
"Natsu... the first person who I befriended at the guild, but turns out more of a sparring partner." a chuckle. "We fight most of the time over silly things, then met with Erza's judgement afterwards." the crowd laughed at this, Natsu as well. "It's been so long since we've traveled and explored this life, not knowing that it'll eventually lead me to you. I know I'm not the perfect guy around town but I am doing my best to protect you and love you, just like how you do to me and everyone in Fairy Tail. And now, you're going to be my Flame Brain idiot forever. Just wanna say three things: Sorry, for making you upset and angry at times. Thank you, because I found a whole new dimension of life when I'm with you. And lastly, I love you so much that I would kill when someone hurt you even just a bit. You showed me a lot of things that my childhood has taken away from me. I don't know how, but you just made me complete. Thanks Flame Babe... Or should I say, Waifu-chan." Gray finished his speech with a sweet smile.
"Baka!" Natsu started and the crowd giggled and laughed at this. "Gray Fullbuster... Hmm." Natsu thought over the next words, making Gray frown at him. "To my handsome and strong ice mage... I am very thrilled to have you in my life, though we started out wrong. I don't know what to do when Igneel left me twice. But Fairy Tail has become my family, including you. Never ever have I thought that it would be you at the end of my run. Like you said, we're always fighting, getting into each other's nerves, and ending up destroying buildings on a mission. But that only meant the start of what's better to come. You see, we'll have little champs running around your apartment in a few years from now. I once said that knocking me down after a confession isn't a good way to ask someone out on a date." the crowd laughed at this. "But Gray, your guilt will not go unpunished if you keep thinking that way. So long as you accepted the kids, I'll be fine. Of course, I would not expect them with the way we are in a relationship, but miracles happen at the time we don't expect, right?" earning a nod from Gray. "I'll say three things, too: I love you, don't ever forget that, okay?" another nod from Gray. "Next: Stay by my side, always. I never know what might happen if you get so far away from me. Lastly: You're the best, Gray Fullbuster. I wouldn't want you any other way and believe me, I wouldn't want to do anything about how you crashed into my life and knocked me down. Thanks for everything, Gray-cherie." Natsu finished and the crowd clapped louder at this. They always knew Natsu would speak from the heart.
And so the ceremony continued. They exchanged agreements and so on. Until it was time to for the most awaited scene in a wedding event.
"And now, I pronounce you as one soul. You may now kiss your bride." the priest announced. Gray carefully raised the veil and saw the most precious part of his life up close, wearing that make-up and all. Natsu complied by raising his chin, and Gray leant down to kiss his now 'wife'. The kiss was longer than expected, so the crowd went and cheering and clapping for them.
"The ceremony has ended! Please do congratulate our newlyweds from Fairy Tail! Mr. Gray Fullbuster and Mrs. Natsu Dragneel-Fullbuster!" the priest announced and everyone shouted at the cathedral.
"C'mon, Waifu-chan. Let me carry you back to the guild for our reception." Gray offered and earned a scowl from the pinkette.
"Baka! I can walk by myself!" Natsu snapped at his husband who was trying to carry him.
"I know that, Flame Babe. But I insist." and carry Natsu he did.
"Fine." crossed arms and pouting, Natsu complied.
Insert Song: Be as One by w-inds (Chorus)
'The story that started as almost tragic, ended up like a real fairy tale.' Gray thought as he happily carried Natsu to the carriage. The others were sending out their congratulations and went ahead to Fairy Tail for the reception. The priest, who was known by Cana, was invited as well.
At the guild, people were enjoying the food. The usual chatter and teasing ever present in the room. Gray and Natsu joined at the big table rather than on the table prepared for just the two of them.
"Loke, what's your idea of our wedding?" Lucy asked the ginger-haired man who just finished sipping his wine.
"My Princess, I have so many ideas. But I'll have to go for what you like." Loke answered honestly, making Lucy blush.
"I know my Juvia-chan has many ideas as well." Lyon crossed his arms as the water mage just finished feeding him.
"Lyon-sama... Juvia will have a wedding with you in any way!" Juvia was purely blushing and kept composure.
"I guess ours would be the same as our newlyweds, right Hun?" Sting said and gazed at his mate, who was enjoying the food.
"Probably... We'll have to do with that." Rogue replied as he continued to eat.
"What can you say about this Jellal?" Erza asked the bluenette beside her, who almost flinched at the question.
"Uhm... I think we have plenty of time to make up for before we get married." Jellal was just making sure he make up for Erza.
"Guess you're right." Erza just nodded and scooped another strawberry cake with a wistful expression.
"Gajeel..." Levy started and the iron dragon slayer halted it.
"No need to rush, Shrimp. We have all the time in the world for that." Gajeel uttered in his usual fashion, leaving Levy to nod at that.
"Plan ahead and you'll get distracted. Just let it come naturally, right Flame Babe?" Gray pointed out.
"Aye!" Natsu replied as he dug in to the food just for him.
"Seriously, I can't believe Natsu put up with you as your mate." Lyon almost facepalmed as he looked at Gray.
"Lyon-sama, Juvia proved how much Natsu loves Gray-cherie! They'll be fine!" Juvia giggled adorably and Gray felt like looking away.
"Oh really? Glad to hear that from you, Juvia-chan." Lyon complimented and Juvia beamed with a loud 'Oui!' at that.
"Just keep your hands out of my married life, stupid brother. No one wants to hear you prying in someone else's affairs." Gray scoffed at the white-haired mage.
"It's not my fault that you're an idiot that you might hurt Natsu in the process." Lyon said back and Gray glared at him.
"What did you just say?!" the ice mage retorted and stood up head-to-head with Lyon. Juvia waved her hands in front of them to stop.
"Oi Ice Freak! I suggest you don't piss off my mate or you'll have ice with flames on it." Natsu stopped eating and grinned at Lyon.
"Kyaaaaaaa! Why is Natsu so cuuuuuute!" Lyon suddenly fanboyed over the pinkette, leaving a sweat drop on the said pinkette's head.
"BAKA! Don't hit on him!" Gray snapped at his surrogate brother and Natsu just chuckled at that. Lucy and the others just sweatdropped.
"Oh well... Things don't change at times." Lucy sighed in disbelief at what's happening.
"They sure don't." Loke agreed and kissed Lucy on the cheek.
It was now the wedding night and Gray was carrying Natsu to their bed in the apartment. Carefully walking, they reached the bed and Natsu was laid down on it with the utmost care. Natsu frowned but brushed it off. Since he's five months along, he understood where Gray is coming from.
"How's the day, Waifu-chan?" Gray went on top of Natsu. The pinkette blushed at the nickname.
"You really have the kinks for nicknames, neh Ice Block?" Natsu smirked at his husband. Gray took this as a challenge.
"Hell yeah. Only for you." Gray winked and Natsu felt something uncomfortable at his lower half.
"B-Baka! That made me hard!" Natsu turned away and blushed deeply in red.
"You were meant to. It's our night. And I may not said it, but you look so hot in that dress." Gray's voice became sensual, placing a tentative lick at Natsu's ear.
"Gray-cherie..." Natsu's voice tensed, but still sexy in Gray's ears.
"I've been thinking all day on how to remove that dress so I can fuck you senseless afterwards." Gray tried dirty talk which made Natsu more aroused.
"Baka! Better done than said!" Natsu challenged, feeling the awkward atmosphere being replaced by anticipation and arousal.
"Yes I will." Gray offered and started kissing Natsu hard, slipping his tongue and seeking for entrance which Natsu complied. The unity was more heartfelt at this kiss, the oneness of their lips locked in a sensual yet loving connection that immersed them at each other.
"Gray-cherie... Love you... so much..." Natsu tried to say between moans as Gray's tongue traveled from the pinkette's chin down to the neck.
"Me too, Natsu... So much..." Gray paused then dove back to the lips that brought down heaven to earth. Natsu wrapped his arms around the ice mage's neck. A full make-out kiss was all it required for them to feel so blissed with each other. Gray continued kissing down, palming the hard nipples perking up at the clothing.
"G-Gray! Not that..." Natsu was totally helpless at this, letting himself drown in pleasure with just the touch of Gray's hands. But the ice mage just touched them more.
"Just let it out, Natsu... Let it out for me..." Gray pleaded and then sucked on the nipples. Natsu let out a strangled moan, unable to keep it any longer. What surprised Gray is that the nipples were getting wet, not because of his licking, but for other reasons.
"What is it Gray? Why'd you stopped?" Natsu opened his eyes to see Gray's surprised expression.
"You... You just released milk from them." Gray was feeling shaky in excitement. He pinched one nipple and there, white liquid shot out of it. Natsu was entirely surprised as well.
"B-Baka! Don't waste it! I need it for the champs!" Natsu snapped out of it and whacked Gray on the head.
"Okay, okay! But I will taste them first, Waifu-chan..." recovering from the whack, Gray dove down and sucked on the sensitive pink nipples. Natsu moaned loudly at this, never ever did he feel so good with just his nipples being sucked. It's the first time and it was impressive.
"H-How is it?" Natsu asked curiously.
"Taste like you, Waifu-chan." Gray licked his lips which made Natsu blush and snapped at him.
"Baka! Of course it's my milk!" Natsu protested and Gray proceeded to remove the dress carefully or else Erza will make him pay for the rent double time.
"But I like your other milk better." Gray suggested huskily, eyes narrowing in pleasure.
Natsu just huffed and let Gray do what he does best. The ice mage kissed the slightly mounding chest, then down the belly button. He grabbed hold of the aching cock and stroke it slowly, earning a moan and closed eyes from the pinkette. Gray licked the tip then straight down to the shaft. Natsu shuddered in pleasure as Gray began licking circles around his throbbing erection. With a last lick, Gray took in all of Natsu's length and sucked it, head bobbing up and down.
"G-Gray! I'm close..." Natsu's breath hitched at the thought of climax while Gray just hummed, sucking faster as Natsu cummed inside his mouth. Gray swallowed all of it and smiled contentedly after releasing the now limping member.
"Wow. I drank two kinds of milk in one night. I could sleep better." Gray said, licking his lips in a sexy manner. He then proceeded to remove his clothing, revealing a hard swelling big cock in front of Natsu.
"Now it's my turn to drink milk." Natsu grabbed the erection hard and sucked it all. Gray couldn't help but groan loudly as he grabbed the pinkette's hair gently, controlling the pleasure outburst as hotness enveloped his arousal.
"Waifu-chan! So good!" Gray moaned repeatedly while Natsu worked for him. He literally mouth-fucked Natsu. Not longer, Gray released his cum on Natsu's mouth, which the latter swallowed it all as well. Natsu licked his lips and laid down next to Gray, feeling exhausted.
"Can we go on for the next stage?" Gray was panting heavily beside Natsu, who was curled up and lying on the ice mage's chest.
"Let's just leave it for some other time. I just want to cuddle with you tonight." Natsu replied, both of them naked and clothes were thrown on the nearest chair.
"Same here." Gray sighed briefly. "Well, welcome to the married life." he then pulled up the blankets to cover them both.
"Thanks Gray. You're the best." Natsu moved closer to Gray, wrapping his arms around the ice mage's torso. Gray's arms were on Natsu's waist as they bid each other goodnight full of love and let dreams carry their tired bodies to the bliss of Dreamland.
The next day was absolutely normal. The newlyweds went to the guild after having a sumptuous breakfast, courtesy of Natsu waking up at five in the morning. Gray couldn't be happier of the great shift of persona by Natsu. The pinkette was now acting more like a mother. He also became more submissive to Gray's wishes, but the ice mage never let himself be carried away and abuse Natsu's kindness towards him. Everything should still be balanced, the ice mage once thought. A relationship is created out of the famous 'give-and-take' principle, which they have been applying ever since before they got together as a couple.
Upon reaching the guild, Natsu's eyes roamed at the new design of the hall. There were more decorations and the tables were changed into metal ones. Other things were enhanced in order to abide with the brawl-proof principle implemented by Master Makarov himself. The pinkette continued searching and found what he was looking for: Lucy sitting on a table with scattered books around her. Natsu walked towards her, leaving Gray to go at the bar for a drink or two.
"Lucy!" Natsu shouted when he was near the table. Lucy looked up at the direction of her name being called, and quickly gave her smile.
"Good morning Natsu! Had a good night, I see?" the blonde asked, dropping her pen on the side and facing Natsu.
The pinkette nodded and grinned. "Yeah. Though we didn't go all the way..."
"Oh? Why is that so?" Lucy asked.
"We're pretty much tired after drinking each other's milk." Natsu scratched the back of his head in slight awkwardness and Lucy blushed in deep red at that.
"Natsu! You don't have to tell me that!" Lucy snapped at the pinkette for being so bold in saying those things.
"I know, I know! But you're my best friend, Luce!" Natsu countered.
"Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stop at that." Lucy sighed in mock-annoyance as she continued to write down her thoughts on the recent novel she was writing.
"And we discovered something new last night. Speaking of milk, of course." Natsu informed which almost choked Lucy and looked up to him.
"What the hell do you mean?!" Lucy almost growled.
"Um... I am able to produce milk for my champs?" Natsu made it more of a questions because he's still wondering about it.
"Say what? You can produce milk even if you don't have breasts?" Lucy assured, and one nod from Natsu does it all.
"Yeah. That's what I said." Natsu paused. "You see, since it's been five months, there may have been hormonal changes in my body that allowed me to produce milk with proper stimulation."
"Wow. Welcome to the world of women, Natsu." Lucy felt at loss for words. The book must've taught a lot to Natsu.
"Yeah yeah. Girl, it is." Natsu sighed in defeat. He knew better that he's resembling more of a girl now.
"We need to tell this to Porlyusica-san. She might have better recommendations for you." Lucy suggested and Natsu nodded in affirmation.
"That's what we are thinking this morning. Better check her at the infirmary." Natsu said but he wasn't leaving yet. Lucy felt confused and upon realizing, she was tagged along to the guild's clinic.
"Oi, Ice Block! Just going to the clinic with Luce! Be back later!" Natsu shouted at his husband who just nodded at him.
The infirmary was surprisingly busy the moment Natsu and Lucy arrived at it. Porlyusica was training Wendy on the highly advanced ways of curing wizards through the use of her sky dragon magic. There were some new students as well, namely Levy and Bisca. The elder medical mage looked up the door and saw the two visitors.
"Porlyusica-san, may we have some of your minutes?" Natsu asked carefully. He knew better than to disturb adults at work.
"You pipsqueaks really know how to barge in and ruin my work, don't you?" Porlyusica glared at them but in a harmless way. However, Natsu and Lucy still froze at that mean stare.
"Sorry, Porlyusica-san. It's something urgent... about Natsu's pregnancy." Lucy spoke before a broom was sent to fly in their direction.
"Why didn't you say so?" the elder changed face. "Wendy, Levy and Bisca, continue with the formula. I'll just attend to this matter." and the three students nodded while Levy smiled at Lucy.
"Yes Sensei." was added by the three. Porlyusica led Natsu and Lucy to her desk just near the room's door.
"So tell me, what is it?" the elder mage asked professionally, hands clasped over the new metal table replacement.
"Uhm. You see... when Gray and I had our night, he discovered something with my nipples." Natsu was trying hard not to blush with every word. But Porlyusica just urged him to continue, Lucy listening intently at the background.
"...he pinched it and..." Natsu's composure was really faltering at that moment.
"I know now... You were able to produce milk without having breasts." Porlyusica concluded with a sure smile.
"Yeah, that's it... Funny, right?" Natsu chuckled nervously. When is that funny, huh?
"It's serious Natsu!" Lucy protested.
"Calm down, pipsqueaks." Porlyusica's stern voice silenced them both. "For starters, that's a miracle. But please make sure to eat healthy and reserve it for the twin."
"Yes, Porlyusica-san. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks." Natsu now felt relieved that he was able to explain it as clear as possible.
The elder mage nodded and moved to pick something from the drawer. She held out a box of medicine for Natsu to take.
"Drink this three times a day, after meals. This is a supplement. It will help you produce more milk so that when your labor comes, it'll be ready." Porlyusica explained and Natsu grabbed it carefully.
"Wow... I really start to feel like a mother." Natsu mused with such amazement and a pink blush dusting his cheeks.
"When you've been knocked down, you started becoming like a mother." the elder mage stated. "It's a natural instinct, to be protective of your offspring. Added with the characteristics of dragon slayer within you, it was made more intense. That fight you had in the park months ago had surged up your magic level to a higher notch, enabling you to merge powers with your mate." Natsu nodded in understanding.
"Though it was not adviseable to use magic during pregnancy, dimwit. Your life force could have drained if you haven't defeated them in a faster time record. That way, your babies wouldn't have much left source of life." Porlyusica continued and Natsu felt a bit worried.
"I know. But it was also the time where I have to save my friends." Natsu reasoned out, earning a chuckle from the elder mage.
"And being the sacrifcial idiot you were, I wouldn't have doubted."
"Sorry for that, I guess?" Natsu scratched the back of his head with the lack of more response.
"And your sorry will not be enough pay if the babies were killed." the elder mage stated as if it was a big fact.
"I know... I feel bad for my champs." Natsu felt saddened of the truth.
"But I didn't want you to feel regret of what happened. Just be careful next time and enjoy your married life. That's all I can say." Porlyusica looked Natsu straight in the eye and as she felt the pinkette nod in agreement, she returned to her usual self.
"Thanks Porlyusica-san." the pinkette finally brightened up.
"Part of my work. Gratitude is the usual response. Now get up and leave me alone. I have work to do." the elder mage stood up and walked away from Natsu and Lucy, who also stood up and made their way back to the guild hall.
When Natsu and Lucy got back to the hall, they saw Gray surrounded by some guildmates. The ice mage was laughing while talking to them.
"Oh, Flame Babe, how's the check up?" Natsu finally caught the attention of his husband, who stood up and kissed him on the lips.
"It went well. Natural for a 'mother' to have breastmilk." Natsu explained and he was sure the others were smiling at him.
"Told ya." Gray said as he wrapped an arm around the pinkette's waist.
"Uhmm... Why are they acting strange?" Natsu asked as he cuddled on the ice mage's chest after they settled on a free table.
"I told them about the milk. They were happy to hear that." Gray answered and he swear he saw Natsu blush. "But what's more interesting is that they were helping me think of names for the twin."
"Oh yeah. Never thought about it for a while. What have they suggested?" Natsu asked, resting one hand on the arm wrapped around him.
"No final decisions yet. How about you?" the ice mage asked, facing the direction of the people gathered.
"Not yet. Hey, how did they know the gender?" the fire mage suddenly wondered.
"They don't know yet. They just focused on coming up with possible names. Though I was surprised that the champs are a boy and girl." Gray said as he remembered the scan during Natsu's fourth month.
"Me too. How about Nathaniel for the boy and Gracielle for the girl?" Natsu suggested and made Gray think for a while but agreed nonetheless.
"Sounds nice. Nate and Grace. Pretty much like us, don't you think?" Gray hugged the fire mage closer to himself.
"You bet! I'm hungry Gray-cherie. Feed me..." Natsu cooed and Gray just chuckled at how cute the pinkette was.
"Anything for my Waifu-chan." the ice mage smirked and Natsu felt a bit grumpy but brushed it off.
"Kink god!" Natsu punched Gray's arm lightly as they stood up and ate a meal at the bar.
The future is now, thanks to Natsu and Gray.
