A/N

So this is my first fanfic and i still dont quite know how to work everything

If you have any suggestions on how i can improve i would appreciate it

Also a little key

"." Means the someone is talking aloud

'.' Means they are thinking

I will try to make it as obvious as possible who it is thinking or talking but i don't want to keep saying things like "lucy thought this" or "Natsu said that" as it can be quite annoying to read as well as write

Anyway I really hope you enjoy

Lucy woke up to see Natsu staring at her like he had been trapped in a dark room his entire life and she was his very first sunset.

She responded to this by punching him.

"Where have you been you idiot! I have been worried sick about you! I don't see you for days and suddenly you are in my bedroom staring at me! Start talking buster or so help me I will sick one of my celestial spirits on you!"

"Lucy calm down, I'm okay! I just missed you so I came straight here but you were sleeping and you looked so adorable with that bit of dribble on your chin I couldn't help myself"

'Great now he is teasing me' she thinks to herself , but she has more important things to worry about right now.

"Well fine, at least now your here you can tell me all about what dragon mating season is and why you never mentioned it before" she grinned

'Checkmate, lets see how he feels with his privacy invaded'

"Actually Luce I came here to talk to you about that, I don't think you will like what I have to say but I promise to answer any questions you have the best I can and give you as much time as you need to process this"

"Oh no, you've found your mate haven't you? Is she someone I hate? Is she evil? Are you going to die! Natsu you can't die! I won't let you!"

"Lucy *chuckles* you need to calm down!, hopefully I am not going to die any time soon and yes I have found my mate, you don't hate her and she is not evil"

'Okay Natsu its now or never , you need to tell lucy everything and beg her to accept you and love you forever. No big deal right? Shouldn't be too hard ? Fuck. I'm screwed'

"Okay, well tell me about her? What is she like".

"She is everything, she is beautiful and kind. She is so smart and brave, the bravest person I know actually. She has blond hair and brown eyes, she is my bestfriend and right now she is looking at me in confusion as it slowly comes to her realization that its her. Its you Luce, its always been you".

It was only then that it dawned on Lucy that she probably shouls have sat down for that conversation, or that her ears were pounding and her heart was beating a million miles a minute.

Or that the room was going black and she was falling.

Natsu caught her before she hit the ground.

"Well that went well, I just told the women I love that she is my mate for life and she fucking fainted ahaha" he spoke this words aloud to himself not caring if he sounded crazy.

Maybe he was crazy. He was crazy enough to think that maybe Lucy loved him back.

Or that she would just maybe want to have freaky dragon sexy time with him.

It also was not lost on him that he was crazy enough to refer to the most sacred of dragon magic as freaky dragon sexy time.

He placed her gently back on her bed and sat next to her. When she woke up she would have questions and he needed to be there to answer them

Fainting spells usually only last a minute or two anyway so he wont have to wait long.

He sat thinking abesently to himself as Lucy started to sit up holding her head to help the dizzy feeling.

"Natsu, what happened?" She whispered feeling dazed and confused.

"You fainted, I caught you and layed you on the bed. Did you need anything? Water? Food?"

"I need to ask you a lot of questions if you have time to spare?"

"Don't be sarcastic Luce, I told you I would answer any questions you have"

"Okay so basically what I want to know is what does being your mate mean for me? What happens now? How long do I have to think all this over? And how do you know for certain it's me?"

"Okay well what it means for you and what happens now really depends on what you decide, if you choose to accept me then we will become partners for life. We will perform what is referred to as the "mating" and the "bonding" after that then you will be mine to cherish forever. You will be treasured and I will spend the rest of my days making you happy.

If you reject me then I will die, I wont go into details of that. Nothing will change for you, you will be free to live your life as though you had never met me.

The mating season last 6 months, it last so long because it only happens once it each dragon slayers life time

In the first spring and summer since they reach maturity.

You should know that I would rather you reject me if you dont truly want this Lucy, take as much time as you need to think it over but do not accept it just to save my life okay? Only say yes when you are certain it is what you want

Dragon mate bonds last forever, there is no getting out of it once you say yes so you need to be certain".

"Okay well I know I will need to think about this, is there anything else i should know?" Lucy's head was already hurting from all the information she had to process but she needed to make sure she had a clear picture of what was happening.

"Yes, the ummm mating and bonding is something we will need to talk about but I don't want to overload you with information too quickly. Think through what I have told you, I will tell you more tomorrow once you have had time to process what you already know okay?"

Truth be told Natsu didn't want to scare her off, the mating and the bonding were... intense to say the least.

"Okay well I'm going to go to the guild to get some fresh air and maybe talk to Levy about some off this if thats okay with you?"

"Thats a great idea, it might help for you to talk to someone who is in the same boat as you I suppose"

Natsu started to climb out Lucy's window before turning to look at her one more time.

"Lucy, you should know that I umm, I loved you before all this and umm... I'm really glad it's you"

Then he jumped out the window planning on staying close by but leaving Lucy in her room, confused as to what she should be thinking and feeling.

'I think I might be glad it's me too Natsu'.
