(A/N : Okay before anyone reads this I just want to say/type that each type of dragon has a different courting ritual but here are the things they all have in common with their courting. They will leave gifts for their intended such as food or treasure. And they also challenge others to show off their strength. But I haven't been able to think of anyway on how they would court. If anyone has ideas please say in the comments and give me suggestions. With your suggestion I will leave your username so that I can credit you for the idea. So what I need is a fire, iron, lightning, poison, shadow, and light dragon courting. Wendy is to young for it. And thank you all. I love all of you. ^w^)

The train went smoother thanks to Natsu dry heaving due to the ginger cookies he ate. And so they walked towards the guild. Gray was quiet not wanting to talk. But every now and then he'd cast a longing look at Natsu's back but then returned to look at his feet.

'Why did he lean in so close last time?'

The question kept running around in his head. But his thoughts were interrupted by a new weight on his head. Turning his eyes up he saw Eclipse resting on his head.

He gave a short but sweet smile. He loved his exceed. She was a sassy little leopard. But in every way she was the sweetest being in existence. In fact he found her on one of his trips to Skyrim. That's how she knows the language of the dragons.

When he found her egg he took it to the cave Isis and himself were taking refuge in and waited for her to hatch. While waiting Isis watched with a soft smile. She even told him anyone would be lucky to have him. He was a naturally den mother were her exact words.

He blushed at the comment back then and still blushed at the thought of sitting in a warm home caring for his children. Being submissive he was capable to carry children. And when he was mated he hoped that Isis was right in saying his mate would be lucky.

He didn't feel lucky at times. Everyone in his life seemed to never live a full life. He was wondering if he was cursed. But as he thought this Eclipse curled her tail around his neck and lightly squeezed it. She was reassuring him.

At the gesture he pet her tail and looked forward. Hmm it seems they were here now. Natsu at the front of the group raised his foot and kicked in the doors. Then he yelled into the guild that the group had come back alive.

Everyone inside cheered and happily went back to what they were doing. The group stepped in. Lucy dashing over to Levy to show her the new books. The one in dragon Gray was going to translate later for her.

Erza walked to the bar and the white haired bar mistress handed her a plate with a strawberry cake on in. She sat there happily munching on the sweet. Natsu was off chatting with other people around the guild and seemingly issuing challenges.

Gray slightly smiled. All these people seemed like one big happy family. Something that was taken from him. But Isis filled that void for awhile before she too was taken from him. Maybe this would be a nice change having a big family.

As Gray was walking around he saw Happy hover near him wanting to get Eclipse's attention. It was cute how the little blue angel winged cat was trying to get his multi-colored ones attention with a fish.

But the attempt was funny too. If he wanted to woo Eclipse it wouldn't be with fish. She doesn't have a taste for it. Maybe with some of her favorite fruit he'd have a chance. But fish no. Gray concealed a light smile and chuckle at the little scene.

Eclipse politely refused the fish and gave Happy so of her attention. His little heartfelt scene was interrupted by the sound of a voice. Looking in front of him he saw no one wanting his attention that is till the voice told him to look down.

As instructed there was a older small man in front of him. But Gray wasn't fooled by his size at the moment. The man smelled of power.

'He must be the master.'

Gray bowed his head and greeted the older man. Isis always told him to respect his elders and enemies. Never let your guard down in enemy territory. Even if their magic seems weaker than your's they know how to wield it better than you.

The older man raised his hand and spoke in a kind and happy voice.

"You don't need to do that you little brat. What can a I do ya for?"

"I was hoping to . . . join your guild sir. You see a . . . group of your mages. . helped me escape the people . . . who held me captive."

The master of the guild gave in a strange look but smiled at him. He was happy his children save this young man. But what was with the way he spoke? Gray saw the master grimace for a short second as he thought and that made him slightly uncomfortable.

Was his speech that bad? Eclipse saw Gray's discomfort and excused herself from Happy. She grabbed Gray's arms and made them wrap around her small soft body. The master of the guild saw her and was surprised. Another cat like Happy?

"I'm sorry for Gray's choppy speech. But he's trying his best to speak in the mortal tongue so you can understand him with out me having to translate."

"Oh now that explains his speech. Well that fine. So you want to join Fairy Tail well first what would your magic be?"

"Ice dovah magic as well as Dovahkiin blood."

"I'm sorry but could you say that again I didn't quite get that."

Gray bit his lip and looked down at Eclipse. She looked into his eyes and just nodded with a smile. She turned back to the master and reworded it so he could understand.

"Gray is an Ice Dragonslayer like Natsu but of course with the obvious difference. But in conjunction with then he is a dragonborn. He shouts words in the dragon tongue he is used to speaking in to aid him in battle."

The master was starstruck. There was another dragon type of magic. He needed to see this for his own eyes. Along with what Gray could do. That was went Natsu saw Gray talking to the master that came up and tackled Gray to the ground.

"Hey Gray fight me!"

Gray huffed and looked at Natsu who was on top of him.

'Too close.'

In an instant the guild got to below freezing. Ice crept up the walls and over the floor. Most of the occupants stood shivering. What broke everything was when Gray yell at Natsu.

"Get off of me!"

"No not until you fight me frostbite."

Gray's eyes slanted as he glared at Natsu. It was considered offensive if a dominate dragon did not get off a submissive one that wasn't mated to them. This gave the submissive dragon free reign to do this.

Gray sucked in a breath with his eyes closed and tapped into his magic and dragon soul. When they opened Makarov saw them glowing a light gray color before the most unexpected thing happened. Gray shouted Natsu off of him.

"Fus Ro Dah!"

A blue force came out of Gray mouth forcing Natsu off his body to slam into the wall. Makarov stood in shock.

'He forced Natsu off of himself by just that alone? What exactly is a Dragonborn?'

With Natsu off Gray 'hmph'ed and stood up. The guild's temperature returned to normal and all the occupants stared at Gray in awe. Eclipse floated by Gray and looked at Makarov with a smile as she crossed her arms.

"That is the power of a dragonborn. Able to do astounding things with just their voice. Push someone back, look for auras, become untouchable, even call a storm. Truly amazing are they not guild master?"

"Well I will admit that Gray would make a great addition to our family. But I want to see he skills for myself if you don't mind of course."

Gray shook his head 'no' indicating he didn't mind at all. Makarov nodded and everyone in the guild went out into the back courtyard. Gray stood in the center of the big circle they made and Makarov was about to call out one of his children when Natsu burst into the center of the circle wanting to fight Gray again.

Makarov and Gray sighed then looked to each other.

"Do you mind fighting Natsu."

"Don't mind sir."

"Yes!"

Both were instructed to go to the edges of the circle and wait for his signal. On the outside of the circle Cana was starting to take bets on who would win.

"50 jewel on the new guy."

"No way 100 on Natsu."

The bets continued to accumulate. And talk started to go around everyone.

"So who do you think will win?"

"Don't know. Wonder what the new guy's got besides that one thing he did before."

It continued until the master gave the signal for the two to start the fight. Both got into a fighting stance. Natsu crouched lower for the ground while Gray just stood his ground elegantly.

Natsu almost didn't want to fight Gray at the moment. But he had to for some reason his dragon was screaming at him to. With the end of the dragon's screaming Natsu launched himself towards Gray.

Gray's eyes narrowed then he jumped in the air and flipped over Natsu while also hitting him with ice. Natsu may be powerful but he was reckless. And Gray's mother taught him to keep his cool.

Once his feet touched the ground he launched away from Natsu and spun in the dirt. Once he stopped he huffed at breathe through his nose then ran at Natsu.

"Ice dragon : Diamond Fist!"

A fog surrounded his hand with a coat of ice shining like diamond surrounded it. As Natsu turned around to try and block or dodge he was hit by the punch.

Reeling from the punch Natsu took a few steps back holding his cheek. Gray back flipped and landed. Natsu looked at Gray and smirked wiped his cheek with his fist.

"Now that's a punch frostbite. But how about so Fire dragon : Iron Fist!"

Natsu growled and launched himself at Gray flames surrounding his fist making it as tough as iron. Gray looked at it wide eyed. Being an Ice dragon he could take and give damage. But he was submissive making him not able to take as much as he should.

He quickly dodged and hit Natsu with a powerful attack.

"Ice dragon : Tail Spike Barrage!"

A dragon tail made of ice appeared at his tail bone with the dry ice spikes sticking up. It moved like it was actually an organic part of him. With it on him he swayed in a powerful swipe and the spikes detached flying towards Natsu.

Having seen this move a few times Natsu rolled out of the way but once out way the spikes exploded and spread tiny needle sharp shrapnel that dug themselves into Natsu's skin.

Raising his arms to shield his face then bring then down again to look at Gray. The ice tail was still there and it regrew the spikes along its surface all of them standing up. Natsu just smirked.

"Fire dragon : Sword Horn!"

Natsu burst forward and knocked into Gray's stomach with a headbutt. That knocked the wind from Gray's lungs making him gasp for air. Gray landed on his back. Natsu stood over Gray with a smirk on his face.

His dragon was filled with pride and purring. But Natsu stopped smirking when he heard Gray sucking in a deep breath. Looking down Gray had his eyes closed and mouth open.

Inside his mouth was an ice blue glow that also shined through the skin of is throat and belly. After the deep breath Gray opened his eyes looking towards Natsu.

"Ice dragon : Roar!"

A blast of freezing wind that looked white as it spiraled out of Gray's mouth and filled with shards of ice just like on his tail but smaller flew and hit Natsu knocking him off of Gray. Gray got off the ground and stood over Natsu.

His scale necklace glittered in the sunlight shining on his neck. Gray lightly pressed his booted foot on Natsu's chest and his hands on his hips.

"You're gonna have to do a lot better in order to court an Ice dragon. Yol breath."
