"Talking"

'Thinking"

I Don't own Fairy Tail

Next Morning Erza'S Room

Natsu slowly opens up his eyes up to the morning he tries to move but he feels a familiar weight on him looking down he notices Erza's head is on his chest and her arms are wrapped his waist. Smiling at her position he moves his head down and gives a chaste kiss on the top of he head before carefully moving her body so he can get up and get dressed. Noticing the lack of warmth near her body Erza opens her eyes to see Natsu getting dressed. As if sensing her gaze on him turns around.

"Did I wake you?" he asks while he finishes putting on his shirt much to Erza disappointment. Noticing her disappointment he decides to address it "Don't worry you'll see them a lot more often" he said to her with a smirk

Realising what he was talking about she looks away with a mad blush "It's not like there all that impressive" she said trying to sound harsh

"hmm, maybe I'll have to wear a shirt all the time then from now now" he said with a smile. hearing this Erza head whips around and sends him a glare that says 'Do that and your dead' seeing this Natsu couldn't stop laughing

"What's so funny?" she asked

"Nothing" he answered back as he walks over to the bed and picks her up and places her on his lap, he starts to emit his body heat which makes the girl shudder in pleasure. "you know I was going to go on a mission today, wanna come?"

"Sure, it means I get to spend more private time with you" she said as she leans he head to rest on his shoulder

"Speaking of us are we going to tell the rest of the guild or keep it a secret for now?" He asked while drawing patterns on her bare stomach (She's naked BTW)

"If it's ok with I would like to keep this between you and me for now" She answered as she moves her left hand to hold his

"It's fine with me" he says as he moves is head into her hair and inhales he scent "I love the way you smell" "Hmm, what do I smell like to you?" "Strawberries" she smiled at his response know full well why she smelled like that "As much as I love our current position your going to need to get up and dressed. I'll wait for you at the guild" Natsu said as he taps her bare thighs. she gets up but not before turning her head and giving him a quick kiss on the lips "Alright you head on over I shouldn't be to long" and with that Natsu jumps out her window and makes his way over to the guild

About a 5 minute walk later Natsu is coming into view of the Fairy Tail Guild so he quickly puts his hood over his head before walking inside, he opens up the guild hall door and takes a few steps inside before stopping and scanning over guild looking for a place to take a nap after a quick scan he finds a table that has no one at so he goes over there and sits down not long after he sits down a blonde female approaches him.

"Your the new guy right?" she asks and he simply nods "Would you like me and Gray to take you on your first mission? You see it's like a fairy tail tradition where the new members go on their first mission with someone that's already on the guild" Without even waiting for more then 2 seconds he answers "No I'm alright thanks" and with that he puts his down on the table and starts to snore, seeing this the blonde decides to leave the man alone.

About an hours later the guild hall doors open reviling Erza in her Heart Kreuz armour. quickly scanning the guild making sure that no fights are happening noticing none she makes here way over to the request board and looks for a good paying mission seeing one that's 400,000 Jewls fro clearing out some demons in a small village she decides to take it and make her way over to the bar Mira is

"Mira I would like to take this job with the new member please" Erza said while placing the sheet of paper on the bar counter

"Are you sure he will go with you? I mean he just turned down Lucy's offer about an hour ago" Mira said

"I'll drag him there if I have to" with that said Mira signed them up. Erza made her way over to the table where Natsu was sleeping at. Noticing that he was asleep she firmly grabbed hold of his arm and started to drag him across the guild and out the door while he was still sleeping. during the entire scene only one thing went through the heads of the guild members "Poor guy we didn't even get to know him"

Erza dragged Natsu the entire way from the guild to the train station while ignoring all the looks she was getting. After arriving at the train station Erza lets go of Natsu's and then slaps him in the face

"WAKE UP" she yelled into his ear after slapping. Jolting up to the ringing in his ears he turns his head and sees a smiling Erza looking at him

"You do know that we Dragon Slayers have good hearing right?" He asked as rubbing his ear

"Yes I do know that" she simply said

"Then why did you do it?"

"Why not"

With a long sigh Natsu decides to forget about that little incident

"Oh look our trains here" Erza said in a happy tone

"T-t-t-Train?" Natsu Stuttered out

"Ye, what's wrong with that?" Erza

"well it's just that... never mind" He said as he made his way through the trains doors. Erza looks at his retreating back before following him in think that she will found out soon enough, and she did, as soon as the train started to move Natsu head slumped down and his breathing became ragged, seeing this Erza decided to grab the side of his head and place it on her thighs and surprisingly he wasn't sick anymore. seeing that he was all better Erza decided to stoke Natsu hair which made him drift of to sleep and Erza followed soon after

6 Hours Later Fairy Tail Guild

The guild is in it's usual state people chatting, fighting, eating, dancing and that one guy that stands at the request board the entire time trying to find the prefect job. Makarov was seated on the bar counter looking over the guild and the first thing he noticed was that no one was breaking up the guild fight, looking over once more he notices that Erza isn't here

"Mira do you know where Erza is?" he asked the bar tender

"Oh, ye she took the new guy out on his first mission" hearing this Makarov instantly went pale and Mira looked at him concerned "Master are you alright?" she asked she leaned closer and called hear that he was muttering something "My money, lots of paperwork" was what he was saying before Mira snapped him out of it.

"Did those 2 really go on a mission together?" He asked her with a shaky voice

"Ye what's wrong with that?" She asked the elderly man

"Well it's just that, that man is Sala-" he couldn't finish he sentence because he was interrupted by the guild doors getting blown open and 2 figures arguing one was Erza and the other was a man with pink spiky hair which only 2 of the guild members know who he is one is Makarov and the other was Gray who had a look of complete Shock on his face at seeing the Salamander.

"WHY DID YOU USE SO MUCH OF YOUR POWER TO DESTROY A COUPLE DEMONS?" Erza yelled at the man who had his hands behind his head and a straight face

"I didn't use that much" he stated

"DESTROYING A COUPLE OF HOUSES AND A ENTIRE MOUNTAIN ISN"T MUCH OF YOUR POWER?" She yelled at him hearing this guild had a look of utter shock on their faces because the only person they know that can do that is Gildarts. Natsu turned his head and looked at her

"I wasn't the only one that did damage, if I remember correctly most of our payment came out of the damage that you caused when you destroyed about half the village trying to kill a couple of demons. you know the village that we were meant to protect not destroy" He simply said to her, hearing this she gets a look of shock and then turns away from him before making her way over to the bar.

"Why are you hear?" A male voice said from across the room

"Hmm?"

The male figure that the voice belonged to which was Gray moved in front of Natsu

"I said, why are you hear?" he asked with anger in his voce

"I'm a member of this guild same as you, is there a problem with me being here?" Natsu asked as he moved a bit closer to Gray

Hearing this Gray had a look of surprise on his face before he noticed the red Fairy Tail guild mark on his right upper arm, he then turns around to address Makarov

"Why did you let him join the guild Gramps?" Gray asked the guild master

"I don't see what the problem is, he's a mage and wanted to join this guild, what's the problem?" Makarov simply stated

"what's my problem? this is the guy that did all that damage to Gildarts, me, and Erza" hearing this the whole guild had a look of utter shock on there faces 'This is the guy that did all that damage to Gildarts, and by the looks of it this guy doesn't even have a scar on him, what kind of monster is he' the whole guild thought save for those who don't know who Gildarts is. mean while Natsu made his way over to the closet seat he could find.

"Gray you guys new full well what could happen to you on that mission but you still took it anyway, and if I remember correctly he doesn't like to engage in combat with other people so you 3 must of done some to provoke the boy into fighting you" when Makarov said that Gray new he was right and that he did indeed attack the man first but it was to late to back down now 'I know, Erza seemed to be pretty angry at him just before i'll ask her" he thought to himself.

"Erza what about you, surely you don't want him in the guild right?" Gray asked with some hope in his eyes but what he heard next was the single to let it go

"I don't see the problem with him being here" There it was hearing that Gray slumped down and walked back to his table

"well now that that's over I have some paper work to fill out thanks to you 2" Makarov says as he makes his way into his office where he will be for the next couple of hours

Natsu makes his way over to the bar and takes a seat next to Erza

"Can I please have some on fire meat please" he asked the platinum haired bartender

She looks him for a a couple seconds before brushing it off and thinking everyone has their quirks. so she goes into the back kitchen and cooks up some on fire meat. while Mira in the back cooking Natsu heats up his index finger and moves it over to Erza thigh and started to draw random patterns on it , she had to bite he lower lip to prevent a moan from escaping her mouth, and much to her disappoint he had to pull away because Mira come out with his meat on fire dish, she places the dish in front of Natsu and he starts off by inhaling the fire seeing this Mira remembered that he a Dragon Slayer.

"Your a Dragon Slayer Right?" When Mira said Gajeel and Wendy's ears perked up and looked over to the bar.

"I sure am, I'm the fire Dragon Slayer and son of Igneel the king of the fire dragons" Hearing this Gajeel and Wendy made their way over to the man

"Did your Dragon Disappear on the 7th of July 777?" Gajeel asked the man

"That he did" Natsu replied

"Did you even find him?" the little girl known as Wendy asked him

"Nope, but I gave up about half a year ago"

"Why?" they both asked in unison

"Well I searched for 15 years and didn't find anything then I thought I'm sure he had his reasons for leaving because he would just up leave like he did without a reason and if he ever wanted to come back during those years he would have done so" Natsu said with a slightly sad face. when he said that both Gajeel and Wendy looked at the man thinking that he was probably right and that maybe they should wait for their dragons to come to them when they are ready.

"That's the Problem with you Dragon Slayers raised by Dragons all you do you complain about them leaving you" A man voice said from the second floor

"LUXAS" Mira yelled at him

"All I'm saying is the truth" he said

Natsu looked up at the man and then sniffed the air before looking away "Your one of those aren't you" Natsu asked "he?" the blonde man asked "The weak Dragon Slayers that got their power from having a lacrima put into their bodies" Natsu said with a straight face "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?" Laxus yelled as he jumped down from the second floor and in front of Natsu "Even you hearing is worse then ours" Natsu said, Laxus grabbed Natsu by the collar of his shirt and lifted him up "Don't talk all high and mighty to me brat" Laxus said with anger "your right I should stop talking to you because you not even worth any of my time" That was the last straw that made Laxus throw Natsu half way across the guild making him getting stuck in the wall but all Natsu did was just stay there and not even bothered to move if Laxus did come up grab him by the face he probably would have fallen asleep but as much as he wanted to doze of for a bit it was pretty hard to do so with his getting smashed into the wall to the point where Laxus pushed him all the way through, now outside of the guild Laxus through Natsu to the ground where he just laid there.

All the guild members were shocked when they came outside they saw Laxus Standing over a crater with Natsu laying in the middle 'did this guy really beat Gildarts' was the thought that went through everyone's head except for Erza, Gray and Makarov because they all know full well what Natsu is capable of.

"Waste of my time my ass" Laxus said before turning around after taking a couple of steps Laxus stops and face grows angry he turns around and see that Natsu is snoring in crater.

"ASLEEP" the whole guild yells out

Laxus goes down into the crater and stands at the foot of Natsu he brings his right hand back and goes to punch Natsu but as his fist is about to connect Natsu rolls his body to the side and dodges his fist, seeing this everyone had to stifle a little laughter. Laxus just keep growing more and more angry with each passing second, suddenly Natsu begins to stand up while rubbing the back of his neck

"Thanks for the massage but sadly I heard you work by the half hour so I'm going to have to cut my session a little short" Natsu said as he walks up and then in the blink of an eye Natsu round house kicks Laxus in the side of the head launching him through town and landing in some random building. When this happened the entire guild was in shock, the whole time Natsu was just playing around with Laxus and getting him to loosen up the nots in his body. Natsu looks up into the sky and notices that the stars are coming out some he decides that he is going to head home.

"Alright I think I'm going to head on home for the night" he said as he begins to walk away but stops when he hears the masters voice

"Do you even have a place to stay?"

"Sort of" and with that said he makes his way to the tree that is outside of Erza's bedroom window

The members of Fairy Tail head back in side of the guild chatting about how strong Natsu is and completely forgetting about Laxus, everyone was now seated and talking amongst themselves about random stuff.

"Do you think he has a girlfriend?" Mira asked Erza.

'Ye me and better stay away from him' "don't know and it's also none of business if he does" she answered with a straight face while eating her cake.

"Hmm, maybe I'll ask him out tomorrow" Mira said while tapping her chin and looking to the roof.

'hahaha your just going to get rejected Mira I wouldn't if I were you' "Go for it, but I thought you had a thing for Laxus?" Erza while eating the last mouthful of her cake.

"I do but it can't hurt to love 2 people at the same time"

"Ok well it's getting kind of late so I'm going head on home, see you tomorrow" and with that Erza exist the guild hall and makes her way over to Fairy Hills. After about 5 minutes of walking Erza reaches her room of fairy hills, she walks over and opens the window and sees Natsu lying there looking up at the sky the sky.

"Beautiful sky isn't it" and Erza says

"Not as beautiful as you" and says as he jumps through the window and gives Erza a passionate kiss

"Can I ask you a question?" Erza asked after the kiss

"Sure" he answers back

"What do you think of Mira?" Erza suddenly asks

"That's the bartender right?" and Erza just nods "I dunno, why do you ask?"

"Well before I came here she told me that she was going to ask you out tomorrow so I was just wondering" she said with a small blush adorning her cheeks

"Oh? Is someone a little jealous?" he says while pocking her cheeks, she turns away from him and pouts "hahaha, Don't worry you have nothing to worry about" he says and she turns back and looks at him "I don't?" "No you don't and do you want me to tell you why?" she nods her. At this Natsu walks up to her picks her up and takes her over to the bed and puts her down on his lap "The reason you have nothing to worry about is that Dragons and Dragon Slayers only fall in love once it's kind of like a curse if you ask me, because if a Dragon or Dragon Slayer falls in love but that person doesn't love them back they have to go through their whole life knowing that they can never fall in love again." he said with a bit of sadness in his tone and Erza moves closer to him at hearing this "If anything I'm the one that should be worrying here" he said with a light chuckle. At this Erza turns her body around so she is now straddling Natsu and she puts her hands around his neck "Don't worry you have nothing to worry about" she leans in an gives him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I Love You Natsu Dragneel"

"And I Love You Erza Scarlet" he siad and they both lean in closer engaging in a loving kiss, Erza moves her hands up to his chest and pushes him down onto the bed, Erza then removes both their shirts and goes to remove Natsu's pants but Natsu gently grabs her hands making her stop, she looks up at him and gives him a questioning look "Before we get started can I ask you a question?" "Sure, what is it?" She said as she leans back up and Natsu Leans up with her "I was wondering if it's ok it a couple of people know about us?" "Like who?" "Gajeel and probably Wendy" "Why those 2?" "Well I was going to ask you if I could place a mating mark on you" "A mating mark?" she asked curiously "Ye it's a mark that Dragons or Dragons Slayers place on their mates to let others Dragon or Dragons Slayers know who they belong to, so if I place a mark on you Gajeel and maybe Wendy I'm sure since she's a female but it would mean Gajeel would be able to smell that your my mate" "are there any benefits I get with this mark" "Other being with me for the rest of our lives no not really. What is being with me not enough?" he said with a chuckle, Erza smiled at him "Being with you is plenty. I was just curious" "I'll take that as a yes?" "Obviously" she said as she gives a deep and passionate kiss

Natsu brings his hand up and places it on the crook of her neck and heat it up a bit and she lets out a moan of pleasure "This may hurt a bit ok" he said to her and she nods her head in understanding, Natsu then moves his hand from the crook of her neck and brings his mouth to the crook of her neck, he gives a quick hot breath that sends shudders down her spine "Ready?" "Always" and with that Natsu sinks his teeth into her skin, Erza winces a bit at the sudden feeling but then she feels a bit of his magic going into her body and she melts into his lap about 30 seconds later Natsu runs his hands down her back and gives her ass a quick squeeze.

"If you were done you could have just said so" she said as she gives his ass a pinch and he has to hold back a squeak

"I know but that way was more enjoyable for the both of us" he said as he licks the spot where he bit her

"How long till the mark will appear and what will it look like?"

"Full of questions tonight aren't you... It should be there by the morning as for what it looks like if i had to guess probably something to do with a knight and a dragon" he answered while massaging her thighs.

"Will you have one to?"

"Yes I will have one, and if we decide to have kids they will have one as well but by that point in time it would be a family mark and not a mate mark" he said and Erza blushed at the thought of having kids with Natsu. "Now where were we before i so rudely interrupted you" and with that Erza pushes him back down onto the bed and continues to remove the last bits of their clothing.
