Sting and Rogue laid against the wall, completely tired out. By forcing all their magic into Lucy, they had made her a fourth generation dragonslayer. The first and maybe last of her kind. Natsu held Lucy's head in his lap, gently cradling it. Lucy just laid still, unconscious. Mira and Wendy were still in shock over what had happened. They had apparently died, and came back to life because of Lucy. That was messing with the balance of the world. When she brought back the people who died, she probably caused people who were supposed to stay alive to die. Those deaths were on her hands even though she didn't know it yet. Lucy stirred and mumbled something incoherent and went back to sleep. Natsu smiled at her softly.
"Hey Sting, Rogue," Natsu said to the twin dragonslayers still looking at Lucy. "Thank you, for giving her your power. She wouldn't have survived otherwise. And," Natsu frowned. "For being there for her when I wasn't able to." He brushed a piece of hair out of Lucy's face.
"It's no problem, Natsu-san. She's your friend, but she's also our friend! Friends do things for each other!" Sting said grinning.
"Yes, she is also quite fun to be around." Rogue said, showing a trace of a smile at the thought of the blonde.
"While she's asleep, I have a question for you guys."
"What?" Sting said as Rogue looked confused.
"Do you guys like Lucy as in, like like, love?" Natsu looked completely serious for once. He needed a serious answer from the two.
"Well yeah I guess I used to, but now I think of her as more of a little sister, then a potential mate. I have my eyes on a certain other celestial mage in Sabertooth." Sting said, admitting to his feelings.
"And you Rogue?"
"Honestly, I didn't tell anyone, but I already have a mate, I've had one for a while."
"Seriously Rogue! And you didn't think to tell your best friend?!
"Or any of the other dragonslayers!" Natsu and Sting were furious at him for not telling them. They were supposed to be in this together! But, they relented, they knew if they got a mate, they wouldn't really want the world knowing either.
"Fine." They both said solemnly. Rogue had beaten all the dragonslayers in the match to find their mate first. What a jerk.
"So who is this mate of yours?" Natsu asked, raising his eyebrows at Rogue. Rogue started to blush.
"A certain girl, from a certain guild." Rogue said looking away from the two.
"And this certain girls name is?" Sting chimed in, eager to see his friend be embarrassed.
"Not telling." Rogue said defiantly. "You've met her once or twice. You don't need to know anything about her."
"Ah" Sting said. "Are you scared of telling us Rogue? Come on, we won't tell anyone."
"I refuse." Rogue refused to tell them again, and again. Lucy, who was still in Natsu's lap, rolled over and sat up. She rubbed her eyes.
"What happened," she asked, confused to the situation she was just in. She couldn't remember why she was in Natsu's lap, and why she wasn't in her house.
"Lucy!" Natsu yelled, as he pulled her back toward him and hugged her. "I need to tell you something really important! I, Natsu Dragneel, am in love with you." Lucy was still only half coherent, but she heard most of Natsu's confession. What she heard was enough to make her face turn into a tomato.
Lucy, of course still blushing, said "I love you to, but why in the world would you confess now?"
"Well you see," Natsu hit his chest with one hand, keeping one arm around Lucy at all times. "After the stuff that happened, and you almost going kerplunk, I decided, if I was ever going to admit my feelings, I should do it before it's to late to do it!" Natsu looked really proud of himself as he explained. "And now that we know that we love each other, lets get married." Natsu's grin stretched from ear to ear as he looked at Lucy.
Lucy was now completely in reality and shook her head. Natsu looked crestfallen. "Natsu," Lucy said looking at his sad face. "Most people, before they get married, go on dates, and get to know each other better. They don't jump right into the marriage just like that."
"But, Luce we already know everything about each other, sometimes we even sleep in the same bed." Sting and Rogue's jaw dropped. They had no idea that the two mages slept together. How were they not dating if they slept together?
Lucy saw their faces and decided to fix the situation. "We don't actually sleep together. When I'm asleep alone, he crawls in through my window and falls asleep in my bed. We don't actually do any of that kind of stuff." Lucy blushed, and looked away from Sting and Rogue who were a little bit surprised at their hero's behavior. He acted like a little kid, and had the maturity of one.
"Okay then!" Natsu said standing up, carrying Lucy, much to her protest. "Lets go back to the guild, and we'll send you back on your way to Sabertooth!" Natsu was grinning again, "When me and Lucy finally do get married, I'll make sure to send you an invite." Natsu then ran to the guild, Lucy in tow, just like the first time they met.
