BURNING

CHAPTER-14

I carried Knightwalker to my room, no, our room which was adjacent to the bath and simply cover her by a thin blanket knowing she had to be totally heated up after our 'fun'. I put on a pair of sweatpants and left the room to go to the hospital and look for the nurse and ask her to dress my wounds, which now were a little worse off due to our strenuous activity I think out with a shit-eating grin on my face and a boosted up male pride.

NATSU POV

I was now in the infirmary while a nurse was tending to my wounds from my spar with Sugarboy from earlier. I nearly blushed remembering my 'strenuous' activities with Knightwalker just a while ago, which did nothing at all to help my wounds. I needed to contact Edo-Igneel and get the update on the lacrima. It was true that my patience was being stretched too thin for my liking and waiting atleast a whole month would be of no good use. I had a plan, but I had to get a positive from the Edo-Fairies and Igneel as well. This plan would be really beneficial for my return to Earthland but it might also lead to severe unrest in Edolas even if I make a minor mistake. Yes, I need to contact Igneel as soon as possible.

My wounds were dressed and bandaged while I was having these thoughts. I politely thanked her for her service, which seemed to have shocked her and also brought a healthy blush on her face as she courtly squeaked a quick 'welcome' and scurried off. I sighed at the more often than not reaction which I would get whenever I would be polite. It was one of the main reasons why I would be holding my 'intolerant' persona, the other obviously being Knightwalker. My thoughts went back to my plan from earlier and it did sound pretty easy and foolproof. I would have to run it by Knightwalker, because as much as I hate to admit it, her mind was much more strategically and politically sound than mine. She would instantly run it through some mental simulations and inform me of the possible difficulties and risks so that we could work together on a better plan which had a higher success rate.

I walked to my room, which still held a peacefully sleeping Knightwalker. I went and lay beside her, gently stroking the hair that now covered her forehead and eyes, tucking them behind her ear. She, unconsciously leaned into my touch, as I caressed her cheeks softly and placed a chaste kiss on her forehead and her lips, before wrapping my arms around her waist, nuzzling her head with my chin and going to sleep.

GENERAL POV

Knightwalker woke up to comfortable warmth and instinctively leaned into it, reluctant to let it out of her grasp. But her luck had other plans as sleep left her to plague another. She opened her eyes and looked at the clock on the side table showing a few minutes before dinner time. She hurried to get dressed and go and report to the King for dinner duty only to be met by resistance from a strong pair of arms round her very naked waist. She turned around to see Natsu sleeping next to her and slimed remembering his pseudo confession to her in the onsen. She could only smile, a smile that refused to leave her face, a smile that would ruin her fearsome 'Fairy Hunter' image she had in the eyes of her inferiors, a smile that held more happiness that she had ever felt before in her whole life. For the first time in her life she was content with her life. After all the hardships, after all the years of being manipulated and being forced to do the dirty work in the name of the kingdom, Natsu had come and taken away all her sadness and burned it away. She had found that one person in her life with whom she could be the real her, infront of whom she could cry when she felt week, because of whom she could scream in pure ecstasy, to whom she could confide all her secrets. Yes, she was sure she was in love with Natsu, only thing that could make it better was hearing the same from his mouth as he looked into her eyes lovingly. She knew his past, and so she knew I would be difficult for him to say the same so freely in such a short time span, she refused to rush him due to her selfishness. If he needed time, she would wait as long as she lives, for him.

She gently pried herself from Natsu's arms and went to dress. She came back dressed in her usual outfit, fully accompanied with her scarf. She went to wake Natsu up when she suddenly saw his white scaly scarf hanging on the bed pole. With a sly smirk, she took off her own scarf and replaced it by his, enjoying his cinnamon and camp fire smell that lingered on his scarf. She woke Natsu up, who greeted her with a smile accompanied with a surprised look on seeing his scarf round her neck and asked, "Are you wearing my scarf?"

She pouted cutely and avoiding his eyes with her beautiful brown eyes. "Because I wanted to; now stop stalling and let's go have dinner."

On the mention of food, Natsu's stomach gave a loud growl and made its presence known to the occupants of the room. Natsu looked at her sheepishly and searched for a shirt he could put on for dinner, him being off duty. A few minutes, a black muscle T-shirt later, the couple left the room hand in hand, Knightwalker with her arms around his, leaning into his shoulder, both smiling brightly at each other as they walked through the halls of the castle surprising their underlings who were smart enough to keep shut at the scene and also smile at them finding romance during these times of 'not so much peace'.

As they walked through the halls, Natsu decided to break the news where her reaction might be more manageable for him saying, "Hey, we need to talk after we return from dinner." This greatly shocked Knightwalker, not the words, but his tone. His tone was careful, as if he was apprehensive when he said that. She decided to wait for the night for the further news. Dinner was a dull affair, mainly because of the 'talk' Natsu had promised to have that night which filled the evening with an awkwardness between the couple.

KNIGHTWALKER POV

We returned to our room after our silent dinner. The promise of the 'talk' weighed heavily between us. I really did not want to have it, if I was being honestly with myself. Something, call it a woman's intuition, which told me that this talk would only end up hurting me in the end. After few more minutes of awkward silence, I decided to take control of the situation. I gently took his palm in mine and led him to our bed. I slipped off his shirt and pant, leaving him only in his boxers. I, myself stripped till I was only in my black panties and put on the same T-shirt he had on for the evening before cuddling into his left side, my head on his chest, his heartbeat soothing me. I started off by saying, "What did you want to talk about?"

He looked hesitant, but also showed some resolve before he started off by saying, "I have come up with a plan which would allow me to leave Edolas earlier if required."

This news hurt me to the extent of bringing bitter tears into my eyes. Had he not nearly confessed to me a few hours earlier? Yes, I knew of his plan for revenge against the King and return to Earthland, but I never had thought that he would voluntarily try to shorten his stay in Edolas, even with our relationship blooming as fast as it was. It broke my heart, making me think whether if I was nothing but a pussy for him to dump his cum into and an ear for him to dump his troubles while he did the previous act.

"Listen to me carefully and understand, I am not going to abandon you Kanojo." He said. I could have cried out of happiness on hearing that. "My plan is to kill the King and take control of the throne myself. With your help along with the rebels, I could effectively lead and set up a democratic government for Edolas. While the time I rule Edolas, I can learn diplomacy, politics and basics of administration which would help me when I return to Earthland and start a new guild, with you. I will never leave you behind, because... because, I love you. I want you to accompany me so that you can leave this life behind and we can go on many adventures together and enjoy our lives, together." He finished. When I heard those words, I simply glomped him and kissed his lips with as much passion as I can gather. His plan sounded... wonderful. For some reason him saying together sounded fulfilling, as if it was the only thing that mattered in the world. But my logical brain finally kicked in and I realized that a democracy was the safest way to ensure that Edolas could run efficiently after the end of the King's reign. My mind could already think about potentials leaders- Sugarboy, Hughes, Edo-Igneel and even Ashley or the Prince who might return after the King's downfall. I nodded my head in agreement to his plan before saying, "We must meet up with Igneel and tell him about the plan as his speed in the creation of the lacrima would be a key in the progress of Edolas into a democracy because it would affect our speed in disappearance from Edolas."

Natsu nodded as he picked up a communication lacrima to send a message to Igneel that we wanted to meet up with him. After doing the same, he came back to bed, gently kissed my forehead and we fell asleep in cuddled in each other's arms.

NEXT DAY, IGNEEL'S CAVE

We met up with Igneel in his workshop/cave the next day, leaving inconspicuously from the castle so as to not draw any attention.

"Igneel, do you agree with this plan, because this plan could change my whole stay in the castle for the next few months." Natsu said, explaining to Igneel his masterplan for the control of Edolas.

Igneel looked at us and started smirking at us, looking both satisfied and proud of us. It was as if we were one of his successful experiments. "Yes, why would I have any problems with this plan of yours? In fact, nothing else could have ever made me happier and proud of you two than this" he said, again smirking like an idiot.

That is when we heard a voice which turned our blood cold. The terror we felt on listening to that voice was akin to listening to the roar of an approaching dragon. If we did not play our hands properly now, we would surely miss our heads, or even worse in my case, I would become a plaything in the dungeons for its keepers. My eyes were broad, shocked, my blood ran dry, my throat parched and I could look at the wide eyed expression of my companions when we heard King Faust's voice say. "What plan would change your stay in the castle general? What plan could make the ever stoic Igneel have a shit-eating grin on his face? Are you three plotting against me and MY kingdom?" he asked with mirth in his eyes and voice.

Why was the King here, we did not know, but we knew that if he gets to know the truth, it would NOT be healthy for us. The King continued, "Imagine my surprise when I called for two of my highest officers to accompany me for hunting, only to find them missing from the castle and even more so when I found them in the same forest, hearing about a plan being hatched that would affect the general of my army." His tone held a sickly sweet warning tone which told us that the answer we gave him must be satisfactory or else...

"Well your majesty, I did want to do this privately with just my father as witness, but I guess we would have told you any way... So now it doesn't matter does it your majesty." Natsu said as he put his hands in his pocket to bring out the little red pill from it. The king went on a defensive on seeing the pill, not knowing what it does. When I saw that pill, him swallowing it atleast, I was sure that he would attack the King and make his death look like a hunting accident, when he suddenly turned towards me and took my left hand in his and lit his right hand ablaze. The fire formed a loop around his hand until it condensed into a loop of an intricate flame pattern net of the purest of red which gleamed brightly like the flames it was formed of. He took the loop in between his forefinger and thumb, kneeling down suddenly. He looked into my eye and smiled his trademark grin before kissing my left hand and saying, "Erza Knightwalker, will you do me the honour of marrying me?"
