AN: Sorry for not updating! It's not writer's block, I know exactly how this is gonna happen. I've just been doing… other stuff… On with the story!
The dragonslayers went to the kitchen, each doing a specific job.
Gajeel & Laxus: Cooking.
Natsu: Controlling himself.
Cobra: Keeping an eye on the mates.
Sting & Rogue: Setting the table.
Wendy: Keeping the food warm.
The mates simply sat in the living room, chatting, playing games, and thinking what happens now? An hour later their question was answered.
"Dinner time!" The dragonslayers yelled, the mates standing up and heading to the dining room as soon as this was said. The dining room as a massive, wooden room, china cupboards dotting the walls, shelves and cupboards holding the dining ware. At the center of the room was a single, long table. A white cloth draped over it, candelabras, fancy dining ware, flowers, and food adorning the table in an elegant fashion. AN: Sting and Rogue, master table setters, who knew?
The dragonslayers were sitting on one side of the table the order being, Laxus, Wendy, Natsu Gajeel, Rogue, Sting, and Erik. The mates sat across from their designated dragonslayers and the feast began. There was at least one favorite dish for each person at the table.
~.o0O Time Skip O0o.~
The 14 people finished their feast in an hour, the sun was now setting, and the dragonslayers were deciding what to do next.
What now? -Natsu
We mark 'em. Do you not now this works Flame-Brain? -Gajeel
What'd you call me Screws-For-Brains? -Natsu
Shut it! Both of you! -LaxusWe'll take care of the dishes. 1st gens go first. -Sting
Sounds good to me! -Natsu
Are you sure you're okay with that, Sting-kun? -Wendy
Yeah, he's sure. -Rogue
Hurry up and get on with it. -Cobra
The dragonslayers finished their mental group-chat and the 1st gens got up. They walked around the table and grabbed their mates, well… Wendy lead Romeo by the hand. They ran into their rooms, NaLu the one with the red door, GaLe the gray door, RoWen the sky blue door.
~*##$^% NaLu %^$##*~
"Natsu, I really wish that you'd stop doing that…" Lucy said exasperatedly. Natsu pouted, Lucy's anger melting away.
"Sowwy Lushy…" He mumbled, Lucy's posture and attitude visibly melting.
"It's okay Natsu. I'm going to take a bath." She said, grabbing some clothes and a towel from a bag. She walked into the bathroom, and Natsu followed.
"Natsu. What do you think you're doing?" She asked, turning to face him.
"I'm going to take a bath with my mate." He said simply, Lucy sighed.
"No, Natsu. You cannot take a bath with me, go wait in the bedroom." Lucy said, pointing behind Natsu. He sulked out of the doorway and flopped, face first, onto the bed. Lucy turnedand closed the door behind her, getting ready for her bath a melody popped into her head so she hummed along with the words.
Oh Evil Day If I Was Sullen
While Earth Herself Is Adorning
This Sweet May Morning,
And The Children Are Culling,
On Every Side,
In A Thousand Valleys Far and Wide,
Fresh Flowers, While The Sun Is Warm,
And The Babe Leaps Up On His Mother's Arm:
I Hear, I Hear, With Joy I Hear!
-But There's A Tree, Of Many, One,
A Single Tree Which I Have Looked Upon,
Both Of Them Speak Of Something That Is Gone:
The Pansy At My Feet
Doth The Same Tale Repeat.
Whither Is Fled The Visionary Gleam?
Where Is It Now, The Glory And The Dream?
Our Birth Is But A Sleep And A Forgetting:
The Soul That Rises With Us, Our Life's Star,
Hath Had Elsewhere Its Setting,
And Cometh From Afar;
Not In Entire Forgetfulness,
And Not In Utter Nakedness,
But Trailing Clouds Of Glory Do We Come
From Stars Who Are Our Home.
Heaven Lies About Us In Our Infancy!Shades Of The Prison-House Begin To Close
Upon The Growing Child,
But They Behold The Light, And Whence It Flows,
They See It In Their Joy;
The Youth, Who Daily Farther From The East
Must Travel, Still Is Nature's Priest.
AN: This Is Ode On Immortality, With my own, slight, variations. I OWN NOTHING!
By the time she finished humming Lucy's bath as over, and she was now drying herself off. Lucy put on her pajamas, basically Erza's, but blue and with keys instead of crosses. When she left the bathroom she was met with Natsu sitting on the bed, staring at the bathroom door.
"Natsu..? What are you doing?" Lucy asked, slightly creeped out.
"I was waiting, but now you're here, so we can start." Natsu said as Lucy walked towards the bed, she sat before responding.
"What happens now?" She asked, Natsu leaned in.
"This." He said before kissing her. Lucy kissed back, and after a few minutes of this, he bit her. Natsu bit her on the base of her neck, on the right side.
"OW! Natsu! That hurt!" Lucy exclaimed, clutching her shoulder.
"Luce. Look where I bit you." He said, Lucy gave him a sceptical look, but slowly released her shoulder and looked at where Natsu bit her. At the base of her neck was a picture of her key enveloped in an orange flame.
"It's gorgeous!" She exclaimed.
"I have now marked you. You are now, officially, mine." Natsu hugged her, and she huggedhim back.
~*##$^% GaLe %^$##*~
Gajeel carried Levy all the way to their bed, like a sack of potatoes. He threw her down on to the bed, not hard enough to hurt her though. He then threw himself onto the other end of the bed, causing Levy to go up into the air slightly.
"What was that for Gajeel?!" Levy shouted, smacking him on the back of her head, he got up and pulled a thick, hardcover book from a bag, the bookmark not even an ⅛ of the way through. He handed it to Levy and she crawled up to the top of the bed and sat down, back resting on the pillows, to read. Gajeel sat down next to her, pretending to read over her shoulder, but in reality he was waiting for her to be fully submerged.
~.o0O Time Skip O0o.~
Levy was reading her book of original fairy tales, ya know the dark ones. Gajeel quickly leaned down and bit her on the base of her neck on the right side."Ow! Gajeel!" Levy yelled, smacking him over his head. She looked at where Gajeel bit her, surprise and awe lit up her face. Where Gajeel bit her was a book made of iron, studs lining the spine.
"I have marked you. You are now mine." Gajeel said, kissing her.
~##$^% RoWen %^$##~
Wendy lead Romeo to their room and they sat down on their beds. They talked about their lives and the jobs they've been on. This went on for quite some time. Eventually Wendy got up the nerve to ask.
"Romeo… May I mark you?.." She asked, a blush covering her cheeks.
"Sure." Romeo said and Wendy walked over.
"This will hurt for a bit." She said, her head already over his shoulder. Romeo got ready for the pain and she bit him. Romeo winced, but that was it. Romeo looked at the right side of his neck and saw a cloud, a purple flame in the dead center of it.
~!* #^^%$&( Gen 2 )&$5^^# *!~
Cobra heard everything from upstairs and signaled to Laxus that it was time to go upstairs. They grabbed their mates and ran upstairs, Mira being held like a princess, and Kinana was simply slung over a shoulder.
~##$^% MirAxus %^$##~
Laxus put Mira when they approached the yellow door, he opened the door like a gentleman and lead her to their bed.
"Mira. Why did you choose to hide under that tree? There were plenty of better hiding places." Laxus said, sitting on the edge of the bed with Mira.
"Believe it or not, Laxus, but sometimes still I'm referred to as a demon, and not in the guilds' way. Some regular people fear me, and I don't really like it. I have proven that I am nothing to fear, yet they still do." At this point Mira was ow crying, and Laxus was awkwardly trying to comfort her.
"C'mon Mira. I love you, the guild loves you. Why should you care about some stuck up bastard's opinion?" Mira hugged Laxus and spoke, although her voice was muffled by Laxus' chest.
"Thanks Laxus." She said, then she raised her head and kissed him.
"I needed that." She finished.
"Your welcome." Laxus replied and they kissed.
~.o0O Time Skip O0o.~
"Ow!" Mira exclaimed, Laxus having just bitten her. She looked at her right-side neck and there it was. Laxus' mark. It was a demon in a pretty dress, and in her hand was a ball of lightning.
"Wow…" Mira sighed in awe.
"You are now mine." Was all Laxus sad in regards to the complex mark.
~##$^% KinaBra %^$##~
Erik carried Kinana all they way to the bed, where, surprisingly, he set her down gently. Unsurprisingly, he immediately bit her.
"OW! Why'd you bite me?!" Kinana yelled, smacking Erik over his head.
"Look at where I bit you." So Kinana did, and she saw a purple snake breathing out a cloud of poison.
"I have now marked you. You are mine." He said definitively.
^!^$ & ^~^^%#% Gen 3 %#%^^~^ & ^!^
After they finished their game of Monopoly the third generation dragonslayers headed for their rooms. Rogue and Sting simply leading their mates.
~##$^% Rogue x Anastasia %^$##~
AN: I still need a ship name!
Anastasia sat down on the foot of the bed and Rogue followed in suite. They sat their in silence until Ana couldn't take it anymore.
"You can mark me now, if you like." She said bravely, Rogue gave her a sceptical look.
"Are you sure? It's going to hurt." He said, she simply nodded, so he bit her.
"Ow." She winced, looking at where Rogue bit her. On her neck was a dragon-shaped key, in it's mouth a black star. The skin surrounding the mark was tinted black, as if the key was inshadows.
"Cool… I wonder if that's what my key looks like." She said, wonder and awe filling every word.
"Well, your sisters' has a red star, so yours might have a black star." Rogue said.
~##$^% StingYu %^$##~
Yukino and Sting sat on their bed, backs on the pillows, talking about what the other ships' marks might look like.
"What about our mark?" Sting asked.
"Let's find out." Yukino replied.
"Okay, but this is gonna hurt." Sting said, trapping Yukino before biting her neck.
"Ow!" She yelled, looking at where Sting bit her, all the pain disappeared from her expression, awe swimming in her eyes shock covering her face. On the right side of her neck was a key, the skin around it a pure white, making the key's color slightly paler.
"Wow…" She murmured, and it started to grow darker.
~##$^% NaLu %^$##~
It started to grow dark, and Lucy felt the effects of the lunar eclipse, the hunger in her eyes returning. She bit Natsu right then and there.
"Ow!" He yelped, and Lucy withdrew, the hunger in her eyes never leaving. On Natsu's neck was a flame, a golden crown encircling it's middle. Before natsu could respond Lucy kissed him, and he kissed back.
