We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
-At the training area-
Lucy: *guides Natsu to the training ground where Gajeel and Gray are waiting*
Gajeel: Took ya fucking long enough salamander
Gray: Is everything okay?
Lucy: we needed to talk, that's all
Natsu: *putting on a brave face* Everything's fine. I hope you guys are ready to get your asses kicked again
Gajeel: there's no fucking way I'm letting you kick my ass again
Natsu: Bring it on Needles. *lets go of Lucy's hand and gets into a fighting stance*
Gajeel: *get into a fighting stance* you ready to get your ass kicked salamander
Natsu: Gray. You can sit out for the first one. I wanna see what Needles can do on his own first
Gray: sure
Gray: Okay. *stands next to Lucy*
Natsu: Your move, Gajeel
Gajeel: *his arm turns it a sword. He charges straight swinging the blade*
Natsu: *catches the blade before it reaches him*
Gajeel: *the blade starts moving, the jagged edges cutting into Natsu's hand*
Natsu: *winces slightly*
Gajeel: *jumps back* you should know better than to catch my blade salamander
Natsu: *engulfs his hands in fire sealing the wounds. He pants slightly as smoke rises from them*
Natsu: FIRE DRAGON ROAR! *the attack is at least ten times as powerful than last time*
Gajeel: *covers his skin in iron scales* IRON DRAGON"S ROAR
Natsu: *starts trembling slightly and barely manages to dodge Gajeel's roar*
Gajeel: KARMA DEMON: IRON GOD SWORD *he swings the blade into Natsu smashing him through several trees *
Lucy: NATSU!
Akiyo: *saw the incident* DADDY! *he runs to Natsu*
Gray: Jeezus Gajeel. What the hell were you thinking?
Gajeel: fucking hell. I didn't think that would happen
Natsu: *weakly sits up, his head bleeding badly*
Akiyo: *gets to Natsu and kneels down next to him* daddy *crying. he places his hand on Natsu's arm. His hands start glowing*
Gray: *runs up to Natsu* Flame brain, you okay!?
Akiyo: *Natsu starts glowing and the wound on his head starts healing*
Natsu: *closes his eyes and starts falling backwards*
Lucy: *runs up and helps Natsu sit up*
Gray: Geez, Gajeel. I think you went a little overboard
Akiyo: *the magic starts circulating around Natsu's eyes, he heals Natsu's eyes making him able to see again and stops the nightmares*
Natsu: *looks up at Lucy, his eyes steadily becoming more green and he smiles slightly*
Gajeel: fucking hell, I can't seem to do anything right.
Lucy: *tears are in her eyes*
Natsu: *brings his hand up to her face and carefully wipes away a stray tear*
Akiyo: daddy, are you okay?
Natsu: *looks at Akiyo and smiles. Holding his arm out for a hug*
Akiyo: *hugs Natsu, and cries into his shoulder*
Natsu: *leans his head against Lucy's shoulder and starts falling asleep while still having his arm around Akiyo*
Lucy: *smiles*
Gray: Is he gonna be okay? Gajeel's attack hit him pretty hard
Lucy: Akiyo healed him, he just needs rest. But I would like some help getting him into the infirmary
Gray: *leans down and gently lifts Natsu* Up ya get, flame brain.
Lucy: *to Akiyo* let's get daddy to the infirmary so he can get better
Akiyo: *wipes the tears away and nods*
-In the infirmary-
Gray: *gently places Natsu down on the bed*
Mira: *takes Natsu's hand and checks his pulse* Natsu's fine. He's just sleeping. Is there anything I need to know about?
Lucy: only that Gajeel attacked Natsu with his strongest move
Mira: *turns to Gajeel and frowns* And why would you go and do something like that?
Gajeel: well I thought we were going all out, so I only thought to use my strongest move. I'm sick of getting my fucking ass kicked by him
Mira: He was clearly not at full strength, Gajeel. This is reckless even for you
Gajeel: okay I fucking get it, what I did was reckless and stupid. You don't need to keep pointing it out
Ryuu: *runs into the infirmary followed shortly by Layla* Is dad okay? We heard he got sent to the infirmary
Lucy: your father should be fine after some rest
Natsu: *grabs a hold of the hem of Lucy's dress*
Lucy: *turns and looks at Natsu* Natsu?
Natsu: *looks up at her and smiles, his eyes back to their normal colour*
Lucy: *smiles*
Ryuu: *approaches the bed hesitantly* Dad?
Layla: *walks over to Natsu* dad?
Natsu: *looks at Layla and Ryuu and smiles, they can see his eyes have returned to normal* Hey guys
Layla: *smiles* you can see again
Natsu: Yeah
Ryuu: It's good to have you back, dad
Natsu: So do I get a hug, or what?
Layla: *nods then hugs Natsu*
Ryuu: *hugs Natsu*
Mira: Okay you guys, he needs some rest. Out, out out
Layla: *pulls away from the hug* see ya later dad *walks out of the infirmary*
Natsu: *already falling asleep, his fingers still holding on to Lucy's dress*
Ryuu: *picks up Akiyo* Come on bro, we can see dad later
Lucy: I don't think I can leave without ripping my dress
Mira: *sighs* I guess you can stay. Just make sure he gets plenty of rest
Lucy: okay
Natsu: *looks up at Lucy sleepily and smiles slightly*
Lucy: *smiles*
Natsu: *he starts closing his eyes and the grip on Lucy's dress slackens*
Lucy: *moves back, as she does she whispers to Natsu* I'll be back when you wake *she walks out of the room*
-A few hours later-
Natsu: *rolls off the infirmary bed and onto the floor but remains sleeping*
Lucy: *walks into the infirmary and finds Natsu on the floor, she picks him up and put him back on the bed. She raises the railings on the sides stopping him from rolling off*
Natsu: *sniffs the air in his sleep and starts opening his eyes*
Lucy: *sits down and starts fiddling with the hem of her dress and feeling each individual scale*
Natsu: *notices the rails are up on the bed* Did... Did I roll over in my sleep again?
Lucy: *looks up and nods* yeah
Natsu: *tries to sit up*
Lucy: *gets up and helps Natsu sit up*
Natsu: *yawns and a small flame is released*
Lucy: *giggles then sits back down*
Natsu: *rubs his eyes* You know that dress does look great on you... Wait a minute... I can see again!?
Lucy: huh? yeah
Natsu: Who, what, when, where, how?
Lucy: Akiyo healed you outside after you were taken out by Gajeel a few hours ago
Natsu: Gajeel took me out? Gajeel? About yay big? Piercings? Really bad hair cut?
Lucy: yes that Gajeel
Natsu: How the hell did that happen?
Lucy: you were having a nightmare, he saw that and he took advantage of the situation and attacked with his strongest attack
Natsu: *rubs his head* I don't even remember that
Lucy: you were hit pretty hard
Natsu: No. I remember getting hit. I don't remember getting the nightmare
Lucy: well from where I was standing it looked like you were having one
Natsu: *Looks at his hands, there are some faint markings from when he had to seal the injuries form Gajeel's attack*
Lucy: are you okay?
Natsu: Huh? Why do you ask?
Lucy: I've just been really worried about you *starts playing with the hem of her dress again*
Natsu: *places his hand on hers*
Lucy: huh?
Natsu: *smiles* I'm fine now. You can stop worrying
Lucy: don't you remember that promise we made years ago, about worrying about each other
Natsu: Yeah, I do. But that was when we were dating
Lucy: shouldn't that apply even when we're married
Natsu: I guess... *looks around the room*
Lucy: what are you doing?
Natsu: *looks at her and smirks* Oh, nothing. I was just thinking of how lonely it is on this bed
Lucy: *gets up and puts down one of the railings and hops up on the bed next to Natsu* there, is that better
Natsu: *pulls her into a kiss* (Now it is)
Lucy: *kisses him back*
Ryuu: *walking into the room carrying a tray of food followed by Layla and Akiyo* Umm... are we interrupting?
Lucy: *pulls away and blushes* uh no.
Natsu: *pouts as soon as Lucy pulls away*
Lucy: (maybe if you're good I can give you more than a kiss)
Natsu: *pulls Lucy on top of him* (Aren't I being good now?)
Lucy: (Natsu the kids are here)
Natsu: *pouts*
Layla: geez, mum dad if you want to do that do it when we're not here *puts the tray down and pushes the boys out of the room* mum and dad need privacy
Natsu: *grins* See? Layla gets it
Lucy: I can see that *smiles softly*
Natsu: *wraps Lucy into a hug and smiles* So princess, what now?
Lucy: does the sexy dragon have nothing to do *smiles*
Natsu: Well... I could think of a few things
Lucy: like what?
Natsu: *Moves his hand to her shoulder and slides the strap of her dress down her arm*
Lucy: you really want to do this don't you
Natsu: *stops and looks at her confused* You don't?
Lucy: I'm not saying I don't want to, it's just what if someone walks in on us
Natsu: *sighs and leans back down* Never mind then
Lucy: *leans over Natsu and kisses him*
Natsu: *kisses her back*
Lucy: *she continues kissing him then starts kissing down his neck and to his collar bone where she starts nibbling at his skin*
Natsu: *shivers with pleasure* W..what happened to 'W..what if s..someone walks i..in on us?
Lucy: *pulls back* they're going to have to with it *smirks. She starts licking at Natsu's neck, alternating between licking, kissing and nibbling*
Natsu: *arches his neck back*
Lucy: *she moves down his chest kissing his chest, she makes her way to his stomach and kisses there and occasionally licking*
Natsu: *starts what seems to be purring and arches his back in pleasure*
Lucy: *ways her way down to edge of Natsu's pants. She goes to unbuckle them*
Natsu: *looks at Lucy and nods*
Lucy: *unbuckles his pants which she chucks to the side of the bed* it looks like the princess has captured the dragon
Natsu: *smiles* Always a first time for everything
Lucy: *starts brushing her fingertips against the end of Natsu's penis. each time it send shiver up his spine and cause him to moan*
Natsu: L..Luce... k..keep... g..going...
Lucy: *she brushes her thumb against the tip, moving it back and forth across the tip slowly*
Natsu: *moans*
Lucy: *she moves her mouth towards Natsu's penis and starts licking the end*
Natsu: *shivers shoot up his spine and he moans again*
Lucy: *she moves his penis inside of her mouth. She slowly moves it in and out of her mouth*
Natsu: L..Luce... *moans again, arching his back as more shivers are sent up his spine*
Lucy: *continues* (what is it mister dragon, is this too much for you)
Natsu: *starts breathing heavily* (K..keep going. I c..can handle a..anything. I'm all f..fired up)
Lucy: *she removes Natsu's penis from her mouth. she unzips her dress and lets it fall to the ground. she places Natsu's penis in-between her breasts and starts to move them up and down Natsu's penis while squeezing it in between her breasts*
Natsu: *moans*
Lucy: while moving her breasts up and down she licks the end of Natsu's penis*
Natsu: *bites his lip as large shivers go up his spine*
Lucy: (come on, you must be near your limit soon)
Natsu: *nods his head rapidly*
Lucy: *she speeds up her face and placed the head of his penis in her mouth moving it in and out*
Natsu: (Now)
Lucy: *Natsu cum's into the Lucy's mouth which she swallows. She licks her lip*
Natsu: *looks at Lucy and smiles*
Lucy: *smiles* I'm guessing the dragon doesn't want to take over
Natsu: Actually... *stops mid*sentence and starts sniffing the air*
Lucy: what's wrong
Natsu: *sits up and sighs* Someone's coming
Lucy: *grabs Natsu's clothes and passes them to him. She quickly puts her dress back on*
Natsu: *quickly puts his pants back on, he finishes just before Gray and Erza come into the infirmary with Mira*
Lucy: hi guys
Mira: *looks at Natsu and sees he's sort of flushed* We didn't interrupt anything did we?
Lucy: of course not
Erza: We heard that Natsu's vision had returned
Lucy: *nods and smiles* yeah it has
Gray: How have you recovered from taking that attack from Gajeel earlier?
Natsu: Oh, you know. *looks at Lucy and smiles mischievously* Being in the infirmary has its perks
Lucy: *blushes and smiles*
Erza: It's good you've recovered. The council seems to have a lead on Zeref
Natsu: *looks at Erza, his expression deadly serious* What?
Lucy: they do?
Erza: *nods* All the guild masters are preparing their S class mages to go after him
Lucy: okay. Are you ready Natsu?
Natsu: I'm all fired up
Gray: I hate to burst your energy bubble, but what about your kids?
Lucy: I was wondering about that as well
Natsu: We can't take them with us, that's for sure
Lucy: maybe Wendy can look after them
Erza: Wendy is coming with us. We need all the healers accompanying us after what happened last time'
Lucy: okay. Then maybe Lisana
Natsu: You know... Layla's been wanting to come on an S class mission for a while
Lucy: that's true
Gray: You're considering bringing her? That's crazy even for you flame brain. This is Zeref we're talking about here, the guy that KILLED you
Lucy: Gray Layla is much stronger than we give her credit for.
Natsu: *places his hand on his chest where Zeref blasted him with death magic*
Gray: That may be Lucy. But he KILLED Natsu
Lucy: I know that *getting frustrated* your parents were killed by Deliora and you went up against him. Why should it be any different for Layla
Gray: That's different Lucy. You have two children other than Layla, do you really think it's best to leave them without a mother or father, or even a sister
Lucy: *sits down and sighs, she puts a hand to her forehead* I know that, it's not like I don't want to stay with my kids and keep them safe. but if I stay there's a higher risk of them getting hurt. *sighs* I don't know what to do
Gray: Even though the both of you are S class mages, it's not a good idea to have you both go on this mission
Lucy: *stands up, frustrated* I'm capable of fighting and healing yet I'm be asked to stay back yet again *heads for the door*
Natsu: I'll stay here
Gray: What?
Erza: What?
Lucy: *stops and turns* huh?
Natsu: *removes his hand from his chest* Gray's got a point. There's no need to have us both go.
Lucy: but you have just as much a reason to go than any of us
Natsu: *gets up from the bed* I know...
Layla: *stands in the door way* I don't mind if you both go, just be safe
Natsu: *looks up at Layla*
Layla: dad I don't mind if you go. we need as many capable fighters as possible. and you and mum are the strongest mages I know, so wouldn't it wise for both you and mum to go
Gray: *walks over to Natsu and whispers in his ear* You know as well as I do that if you go you risk dying again
Natsu: *places his hand where Zeref blasted him with death magic again* I... I don't know...
Layla: If I could I would fight as well. but I'm not strong enough *goes to walk off, tears shimmer in her eyes*
Erza: *walks up to Natsu and pulls his hand away from his chest* Natsu, Layla's right. You and Lucy are some of our strongest mages. We'll need you with us to take down Zeref
Gray: You have got to be kidding me... Erza, you know what could happen if he goes with you right?
Lucy: *looks up*
Erza: I know that. But the Natsu I know would risk everything if it meant protecting what he cares for
Natsu: *looks over at Lucy* (Luce... I don't know what I should do)
Lucy: (I have an idea of how we can both go and not risk you dying) *she stands up and places a palm on Natsu's chest, white magic pours into Natsu's body. she pulls away* that will protect you from any death magic attacks, it will also prolong your life
Natsu: *laughs slightly* What? 400 years isn't long enough?
Lucy: *smiles slightly* well I want to be with you as long as possible
Natsu: *kisses her forehead*
Layla: *stand in the doorway, shocked* you're how old?
Natsu: *turns to Layla* Around 400 give or take a few years
Layla: *scratches her head* but that doesn't make sense. you and mum look like you're the same age
Natsu: If I knew why, I'd tell you. But we haven't been able to figure it out
Layla: *frowns* and when were you planning on telling Ryuu, Akiyo and myself
Natsu: *looks at Lucy* Umm...
Lucy: *sighs* we were waiting for the right opportunity, but it never came up until now
Layla: *sighs* fine, but you still need to tell Ryuu and Akiyo. *walks off*
Erza: I think you should spend the time talking to her and the boys about this. We don't have to leave until tomorrow
Lucy: okay
Natsu: I'll go find her *starts to walk out of the infirmary*
Lucy: I'll come with you *stand up and heads out with Natsu*
-Outside in the training field, Natsu and Lucy find Layla punching a mannequin used for boxing-
Natsu: Layla
Layla: (why can't I get stronger? I'm holding everyone back) *punches the mannequin again. She looks up* yeah?
Natsu: We need to talk
Layla: *punches the mannequin sending a crack through the base* about what?
Natsu: *appears in front of her and stops her from punching the mannequin*
Layla: *steps back. Her hands still balled up into the fists* what do you want to talk about?
Natsu: I'm pretty sure you know what your mother and I want to talk about
Layla: no I don't
Lucy: sweetie, you've been so anxious lately. you know you can talk to us if you have any problems
Layla: if being weak and not being able to protect my friends any family, then yeah I've got a problem
Natsu: Layla, you aren't weak
Layla: yes I am, I just stood off to the side when Zeref and the dark guilds attacked
Natsu: Layla. That was my fault. I didn't want you to fight because I didn't want you to get hurt
Layla: what's the point of having magic if I can't even use it to protect the one's I care about
Natsu: *sighs and rubs his hand through his hair*
Layla: you taught me this magic so I could use it, but so far I haven't had the opportunity to fight. I'm 16 dad it's time to let me grow
Natsu: I know that...
Layla: then why won't you let me fight
Natsu: *looks at Layla* I...
Layla: you what? *crosses her arms and frowns*
Natsu: *looks away from Layla* You're my baby girl. I couldn't handle it if something happened to you
Layla: dad I'm not a baby anymore
Natsu: You'll always be my baby Layla. Nothing is going to change that
Layla: is this how it's always going to be? you being so overprotective that I can't fight and I can't get a boyfriend
Natsu: *looks up at Layla* I never meant to make you feel this way. I'm sorry.
Layla: *sighs* it's not your fault, I should have known you would have been over protective
Natsu: It's not just that. Sure I'm over protective because I'm your father... But when a dragon slayer fully develops their magic, they gain some dragon*like characteristics. Your mother knows this about me first hand
Lucy: *nods*
Layla: what are you talking about?
Natsu: We become territorial and very animalistic during fights. Sometimes even turning on those close to us if they get in our way
Layla: why didn't you tell me about this?
Natsu: I wasn't sure how to tell you. That's why I kept you away from my S class missions.
Layla: dad, if you knew this sort of thing was going to happen why did you even bother teaching me dragon slayer magic?
Natsu: You're probably gonna hate me for telling you this. But I purposely didn't teach you everything. I only taught you the basics
Lucy: Natsu, you should know that Layla has already shown some of those characteristics
Natsu: *looks at Lucy* What?
Lucy: after Zeref killed you Layla was snarling at him
Natsu: *starts trembling slightly*
Layla: dad?
Natsu: *turns to Layla* If you have any questions, I'd suggest you ask them now
Layla: I want to know what was happening to you. when you would get wings and you weren't the same
Natsu: It's called the Draconium Arcanum
Layla: what's that?
Natsu: It's an ancient spell that can only effect powerful dragon slayers. Because of my connection with your mother it was affecting her too
Layla: how did you and mum get this connection
Natsu: A few years before you were born and shortly after Acnologia first appeared, I started going through the transformation. Your mother wasn't affected until she met Igneel when she left to help me
Layla: *hugs Natsu* now I know why you've been so secretive and protective
Natsu: I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner
Layla: I don't blame you for not telling me. Hearing that at a younger age would have frightened me but I'm old enough to understand
Natsu: *looks away from Layla* Something else you should know...
Layla: *pulls out of the hugs* what would that be
Natsu: While going through the transformation... I killed... I killed Gajeel and Wendy
Layla: *shocked* but. if that's true why are they inside the guild right now
Natsu: *hesitantly looks at Lucy, she can tell that what he did still haunts him*
Lucy: *places a hand on Natsu's arm* Layla I brought them back to life.
Layla: okay
Natsu: *places his hand on Lucy's and squeezes it lightly*
Layla: is there any possibility of learning any more magic or am I stuck with just the basics
Natsu: *looks up at Layla* You want to learn more?
Layla: of course
Natsu: *looks at Lucy*
Lucy: Layla, are you sure. You know of the consequences and risks if you learn any more
Layla: I know, but all magic has its risks and consequences. I'll just have to deal with it
Natsu: How much more did you want to learn?
Layla: as much as I can
Natsu: If you were going to learn anything else, I'd have to ask Igneel for his permission
Layla: okay
Natsu: Did you have any more questions?
Layla: *shakes her head* no
Natsu: Okay. *exhales shakily* I think I need a drink...
Layla: *frowns* dad you know alcohol is bad for you
Natsu: I know... Talking about that just brought back some bad memories
Layla: okay
Lucy: (is there anything I can do to get you mind off it)
Natsu: *looks at Lucy, he seems to have drastically aged just by talking about it*
Lucy: (come on lets go for a walk, I'll get you a drink as well)
Natsu: *nods silently*
Lucy: we'll see you later sweetie *walks inside with Natsu and sits at the bar* hey Mira can I get a strong drink over here please
Mira: *looks at Natsu* What happened?
Lucy: we told Layla everything
Mira: I'll get him a glass of the strongest thing we have
Lucy: thanks Mira
Mira: *returns with a glass and places it in front of Natsu*
Natsu: *sits at the bar staring at the drink*
Lucy: Natsu are you okay
Natsu: I haven't thought about what I did in over 16 years
Lucy: that's a good thing. You shouldn't hold onto those sorts of things
Natsu: Then why do I feel like a part of me died when I said it
Lucy: bringing those sorts of things is always hard, especially since you told Layla
Natsu: *lightly touches the glass and the alcohol inside lights on fire*
Lucy: if there's anything I can do to help just let me know, but until then I'll be outside *stands up goes to walk off*
Natsu: *grabs her arm, stopping her from leaving*
Lucy: *stops but doesn't look at Natsu*
Natsu: We need to tell Ryuu and Akiyo, as well as Layla about everything. Including my past. And we need to do it tonight.
Lucy: I know
