Chapter 26 – Banished

Fairy Tail Guild, Autumn Time

Year X792

Natsu Dragneel

We waited for a little while before Makarov called Sting, myself, and several others into a larger room near to the infirmary. "I called you here because Arthur wants to speak with you" Gramps declared as we all huddled around.

"Is he going to explain what all that was about?" Gray asked in a relatively flat tone, still obviously confused about what went on before. All I know is that they really hate their dad, and that he was waaaaay more powerful than he looked I thought to myself.

Makarov shrugged. "He hasn't said. You will all remember to be respectful though, and listen. Although the situation may have changed some, the debt may still affect our guild" the old man commented, a hint of threat in his voice as he spoke, especially when he emphasised how he expected us to behave.

We all nodded in unison, including Sting I noticed, before another voice cut in. "You don't need to be so formal" Edric stated with a weak smile, as he and Arthur entered the room, flanked by Kenji and Haruki. The group's entrance instantly drew in everyone's attention, and despite the relatively confined area that we all stood in, we parted to allow them through to the area where Makarov stood. "I see everyone's here, good. Thank you, Master Makarov" Arthur smiled politely toward the elderly leader of our guild.

Makarov nodded. "Alright, well… I'll let you say whatever it is you wanted to say, but then we need to discuss the debt and what your next move is" he replied in a relatively polite-but-firm tone. That's Gramps for ya… we have to be all 'polite' but he can just go around and say what he wants I thought with a vague smirk, before flicking my eyes over to where Sting was stood. We had already decided it would be best to avoid being seen as getting 'too close' since with everything that had just happened it could get complicated.

Arthur nodded at Makarov's mandate, before turning to us. "That's fine, this won't take too long" Arthur confirmed, before glancing over our faces. From what I could see, the eldest of the Zollzero siblings seemed nervous, although he still held some air of leadership about him. "Okay… so, to get down to the point; that fight you saw between us and our father was done for two reasons. One, more obviously, it was done to avoid your guild having to pay the full debt in one lump sum… and two, it was to collect data on our father for our own plans" Arthur started, his voice calm, but edge with some concern.

"So, you staged that fight?" Erza, who stood at the front of our group, asked, her face a stony expression to wear down any opponent, including these Zollzero's.

Arthur frowned. "Not quite staged… we just used the opportunity as it arose" he corrected the red-head. Erza frowned further, as did many of us. It looked real… and they definitely seemed like they were fighting for real I thought to myself.

"So, you weren't trying to kill each other?" Gray asked, standing beside Erza at the front.

"Oh, no, he was definitely trying to kill us. Or at least, he would have if we didn't stop that annoying spell of his" Edric snorted in a surprisingly upbeat tone.

Arthur sighed. "Edric, please keep your tone down" he said, before looking over to Gray, "Although, more seriously, our father really would have killed us, and all of you" he answered the Ice Mage in a more level tone than his brother.

I immediately narrowed my eyes upon hearing this. "He smelled strong, but there's no way he could beat all of Fairy Tail!" I called out from my spot in the crowd.

Arthur looked over the crowd until he locked eyes with me. "He could Natsu" Arthur stated flatly at me. I frowned.

"But he's only one guy" I barked in defence. Arthur shook his head; however, it was Edric that answered me.

"Natsu, you said he smelled strong, so you noticed his power up, right?" Edric commented, to which I nodded. "Well, that was because he tapped into his true power, or rather his full power. You see, our father specialises in two magic-types. The first is Speed Magic, which he used to dodge my and Medea's attacks, and the second is Telekinesis, which he was going to use to bring this whole building down on our heads" Edric continued, before gesturing up toward the ceiling, as if it was the true enemy here.

I frowned. "We've fought guys with Telekinesis before, but we still won" I pouted. Edric smirked.

"Whoever you've fought, he probably wasn't half as strong as our father. You see, he is widely considered the greatest assassin of this time, and so couple that level of deadly skill with those two powers and he is nigh unbeatable. If he had wanted to, he could have killed us all with ease, just through one touch, although I doubt that would've been as entertaining for him" Edric stated with vague amusement, before glancing at Arthur, "Although we still picked a fight with him knowing that" he added with a bit more of a satirical hint in his voice.

Arthur nodded, before his attention drew out over the crowd. "Perhaps it may be easier to explain things in a bit more detail, to give you context" the blond stated, before raising his voice to a clear and audible level. "Our father is a tyrant in both our family, and the Zero Star puppet guild that we control. He has killed an uncountable number of people before, and he doesn't intend to ever stop, not so long as he prides himself as the greatest assassin in the world. Our family, however, was originally never meant to become what it is today, we have always been a clan of researchers, whose studies culminated in the legendary Zollzero Grimoire that holds generations of our research on magic and spellcraft. Within that book's pages there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of new ways to use magic, however we of the Zollzero family have hoarded this information since my great-great-Grandfather's time" Arthur paused for a moment to let this sink in, before continuing in a slightly more positive tone. "We, that is my siblings and I, seek to change things; however, first we have to deal with our father, the current Patriarch. As such, we needed to find some way to fight him to test the limits of his power, and that was where you came in" Arthur explained, before making a sweeping gesture around the room, "Over the years we have trained against him, however he has never gone 'all out'. The first step towards achieving our goal was to do this, and so we needed to rile him up. To that end, Thomas and I created a plan in which we could achieve this. I was the one who alerted the Magic Council to the happenings in our bars and other such establishments, and so as such I was the informant who caused you to go on the very joint mission that led to both Fairy Tail and Sabertooth to incur a debt to our family. Despite the current situation, I cannot be sorry about manipulating you all, for it was in the good of our own mission, however we had always intended on keeping all that a secret from our father, and to only reveal it at the ideal time, when we could fight him at our home. Instead, our father outwitted us seemingly, and has been keeping regular tabs on our activities, eventually resulting in his appearance here this morning. Once we found this out, we had wanted to warn you of his impending arrival, however again he was too quick in acting for us to give you much warning. So… despite my statement that I could not be sorry for causing your debt, I am sorry, genuinely and truly sorry, for dragging this issue, quite literally, to your door" Arthur bowed politely in apology to emphasise his point.

We all looked at the young blond Spatial Mage with instant surprise on our faces. With the tone of his speech rapidly taking an apologetic turn, everyone in the room settled into quiet for a few seconds, unsure of what to say, before Makarov finally spoke up. "Although I hate to think of our guild being treated as a tool for someone else's plans, we have all just witnessed your resolve, and… you have attempted to help our guild in paying off this debt on numerous occasions" the old man stated in a somewhat diplomatic tone.

I noticed Sting push his way to the front of the crowd. "Yeah, and the same for Sabertooth" he called out, coming to stand next to Makarov. "I've seen you guys out on jobs with us too, and you've always been nothing but helpful, so I know that you are good guys, even with all this stuff happening in your personal lives" Sting added with a grin. Arthur and Edric both looked to each other for a moment, as if trying to decide how they should take this response. After a moment they turned back to Sting and Makarov, who waited patiently. That idiot…

"I… thank you" Arthur stated, before smirking. "However, I don't think there is anything I can do to repay you fully for what you have done for us so far. At the moment though, I will tell you now that you are not to pay any more of the debt as it stands. In fact, I would also like to offer to pay for the door that our father broke in his oh-so-spectacular entrance" Arthur added with a slightly more upbeat tone.

Makarov nodded in agreement of this. "Alright, I'll agree to your offer of compensation" he smiled.

Edric beamed. "Even if we couldn't pay for it, we'd still help you put up a new door" he added on, "We're going to be staying in Magnolia for a little while… following some leads on our own about a… specific problem. So, you might see us around, and have to put up with even more of my charming quips" he winked.

Makarov chuckled. "If you need any help, we'd be happy to assist, just fill in a request form, or go and speak to Mirajane, she'll help you out" the old man responded.

"The same goes for Sabertooth. If you need anything just tell me and I'll send off a letter" Sting added proudly.

Arthur and Edric nodded. "Alright," Arthur replied, before looking about our group, "If anyone has any other questions I'll take them now, or if not, I need to see to Medea, it seems she pushed herself rather hard in that little bout" Arthur's voice took on a tone of caring when he referenced his sister. Using that tone, not one of us could bring ourselves to ask a lingering question, so quite smartly Arthur thanked us for our assistance one last time and then promptly left the room, Kenji quickly following behind whilst Haruki and Edric left at their own pace.

With the group gone, Makarov turned to us all. "Okay, you heard 'em, although you might see them about, do not get in their way, and you no longer have to worry about giving away any of your hard-earned jewel. Understood?" his voice was somewhat clipped as he addressed us. We all nodded in time. "Good. Now I don't want to see any more fighting in the guild for the rest of the day, since it's already wrecked I don't want any other refurbishment bills piling up" Makarov added quickly, before shooting me and Gray and accusing stare. I wanted to call back with something, however Sting intervened before I could.

"I'll also be staying in Magnolia for a little while again. I intended for this to be a three-day visit, but it looks like things have changed, and I may be needed in discussions in the near future, so don't be surprised to see me around either" the blond commented, before giving me a subtle look. I couldn't help the eruption of happiness that I felt well up inside me like a geyser ready to blow. That's code for; I want to spend more time with you I thought to myself in a joyful tone.

Makarov smirked. "I think they're used to your presence by now, Sting" he mused, before shrugging. "But again, I'll reiterate this for all of you; no getting in either the Zollzero's or Sting's way, got that?"

Once again, we all nodded, and then the meeting was adjourned. On the way out, I felt a grip on my arm. Spinning around I saw the grinning face of the blond. "So Natsu, do you want to help me out with something?" he asked me. I raised an eyebrow.

"Help out with what?" I asked with a wicked smirk.

Sting chuckled, darkly.

/

"Mphm… we're gonna do it… in here?" I panted in between frantic kisses. Sting grinned.

"Got a problem with that?" he replied. I chuckled, before raising my eyebrows.

"No, although… Gajeel or Wendy could, you know… notice. Or anyone could walk in" I commented in a reasonable tone of voice. Sting rolled his eyes before locking lips with me again in a quick kiss.

"I picked this room because it's so far away from the main guild bar. Also, I came prepared" Sting winked, before pulling out a lacrima device.

"Huh? That's a deodoriser lacrima right?" I asked, memories of the last time I used one flooding my head; a slight shiver ran up my spine as the thought of all those Ichiya's. Ugh…

Sting nodded in response to my inquiry. "Yup. It's triple strength, so even if we do it here, there'll be nothing to give us away, since I don't think anyone's gonna come in here" the blond explained with a self-confident grin. I smirked, before looking around the box-filled storeroom the White Dragon Slayer had brought me into.

"Alright, I'll agree to your terms, but only on one condition" I stated.

Sting ruffled his eyebrows. "What?" he asked in a slightly impatient tone.

I beamed at him. "We go on a date later" I stated in an upbeat tone.

Sting heard out my request, however he pouted. "I guess you want me to pay for it too?" he asked in a suspicious tone.

I shrugged. "That's up to you, but I don't really have any money right now, remember?" I tried to remind him about our chance meeting earlier that morning, and about the discussion I had with Lucy.

Sting smirked. "Fine, you win" he stated. I cheered happily.

"Okay, now… what was it you had in mind for us to do in here?" I asked in a coy tone. Sting grinned.

"Oh… I don't know, how about I just say we… fuck?" he responded in a darker tone, trying to hide his intentions by making it sound reasonable. I just laughed, before crossing the short distance between us, delivering a kiss to Sting whilst simultaneously kicking over a stack of boxes to block the door.

"Alright" I agreed "Let's fuck".

Erza Scarlet

"Arthur?" I called out, as I knocked on the infirmary door, my armour clanking louder than I would have liked it to at that simple movement. Perhaps I should change into something quieter, since it doesn't seem like there'll be any more fighting today… I reasoned for a moment.

"Yes?" a voice crowed out in response to my inquiry; it was Edric's voice. I entered the room, before looking over to the two Zollzero siblings present. Edric smiled at me from his chair beside Medea, who lay on a bed, with a slightly tired look on her face. "Miss Scarlet, what brings you here looking for my brother at this time of the day?" Edric grinned from his seat. I smiled at the younger boy. The way he acts reminds me a little of Natsu and Gray when they were children I thought to myself.

"I came here because I had a few things I'd like to discuss with Arthur, if he was available. Do you know where he might have gone?" I explained to the pair, before looking about the infirmary room, as if expecting Arthur to suddenly pop up out of nowhere.

Edric tutted for a moment. "Artie's not here, he and Tom went off somewhere to gather some information, as well as evaluate the data that Thomas was able to gather from our Father's fighting display earlier" the Card Mage answered my question, before looking down towards his sister. "Sis, here, over did it and whilst Arthur and Thomas are away I'm acting as guard dog. Is there anything I could help you with?" Edric added, before looking intently in my direction. I smiled, however I shook my head.

"It's fine, I will wait for Arthur's return" I declined his offer. Edric laughed.

"I'll tell him you were looking for him" he said. I nodded understandingly, before turning to leave. As I reached for the door handle, however, Edric spoke up one more time. "If you're going to ask him about the fight, or about our family he won't tell you anything. Big brother may have a big ol' chip in his shoulder when it comes to our father, but he is still a loyal Zollzero family member, and he would never divulge secrets about us" Edric stated aloud, as if reading my intentions.

I turned back around toward the blond boy. "I was not going to ask about any of that" I stated bluntly. Edric smiled.

"So, you weren't going to ask him about why he didn't just do the same thing to our father that he pretended to use on you in your fight with him way back when we first showed up?" the teen commented observationally. I stood in silence for a moment as I realised that Edric had already somehow managed to guess my thought process exactly; ever since the fight I had wondered why he hadn't just gone all-out from the start, and defeated his father there and then. I was also wondering if he had other plans for Fairy Tail, since the Master seemed to think he did I added mentally. Edric seemed to take my silence as a confession, so I decided to speak up to clarify some things.

"I will admit that I was going to ask him about why he didn't use that spell" I said, before smiling a little coldly, "However I also wanted to know if he had any other plans that might involve Fairy Tail in the future, since the next time something like this happens, I would like to be involved, as would many of the others. We don't usually just sit back and let two outsiders wreck the guild hall" I added with a harshness to my tone that (I hoped) conveyed my anger towards the events of today.

Edric did not seem surprised by my comments in the slightest. "I thought you might say that" he chimed, before looking down at Medea, "But if you're going to ask Arthur that, I can tell you now he will not reply, at least about the fight. All I can say, though, is that we have no immediate plans to use your guild any further, we simply want Medea to recover, and then we will go and leave you in peace… unless something drastic happens that derails that plan" Edric's tone took a forlorn turn as he revealed his siblings plans. Hearing the teenager's words, I felt a sudden streak of sympathy for them. They were banished from their own family home just for helping us I thought, and whilst they did use us for their own ends, they did apologise, and they have helped pay for the door…

With a pang of empathy, I found myself smiling comfortingly at the teen. "We don't blame you for this, you know, and you don't have to be in such a rush to leave. I mean, you spent practically three weeks in the guild hall already, and we've gotten to know you pretty well" I said consolingly. Edric looked over to me with a slightly more reserved version of his usual smile.

"I knew that you would say that, but it is for that very reason that we must go. If our father thinks we continued to remain at your guild after he left for an 'emotional' reason, he'll most certainly return" he said, in a tone completely different from the one he had used when inviting me in only moments ago. "To put it simply, we are leaving because we have that connection with you, and because we know that our father will definitely use any emotional connection we have against us. That was why he brought up Haruki when I stood against him" Edric explained with a sigh.

I frowned at his tone. "What does Haruki have to do with your relationship with your father? He's a member of Zero Star, yes, but not a family member?" I sought further information from the teen. I may as well learn as much as I can, it could help us out in the future I thought tactically.

Edric pouted for a moment, before sighing again, his shoulders slumping a little in defeat. "You're right about Haruki not being a direct relation, however… there are somethings about him that mean I am…" Edric trailed off for a moment, before changing his phrasing. "You see, our father particularly dislikes Haruki, because of the fact Haruki's dad, the old number two mage in the Zero Star guild, failed on a mission and was killed for his failure by our father; he thinks by extension Haruki is also a failure, and that I should not associate myself with him" Edric elaborated on his personal predicament. He must really feel bad for Haruki… he also doesn't seem to want to admit that he obviously likes Haruki I thought to myself, another pang of sympathy for the young Mage going through my chest.

"Edric…" I mumbled for a moment as the shock of what he said hit me. After a moment I recovered and decided to try and console the boy. "If there is anything you need to talk about, you can talk to one of us in the guild. Whilst you are not a member of Fairy Tail, you and your siblings have acted to help us, and that makes you a friend. We always help our friends" I said this with confidence and a gentle smile, before I heard another knock at the door behind me. Thomas entered the room with a neutral expression.

"Edric, we have a lead. Brother teleported me here to come get you, whilst I stay with Medea" Thomas spoke quickly, not even bothering to register my presence as he interrupted our conversation. Edric nodded towards his twin, before looking over to me.

"It seems duty calls" he said, in an instantly upbeat tone, "Although, I would like to chat with you some more… maybe another day, eh?" he added with a wink. Thomas tapped his foot impatiently as Edric stood up from his chair and crossed the room.

"You must be quick Edric, or else this could go wrong. We need this information, so see that you get it. I'm too busy to do it" the Archive Mage warned his brother. Edric smirked.

"I'm going, I'm going" he stated exasperatedly, before heading towards the door. I decided to follow Edric out of the room, since it was obvious Thomas was not going to talk to me.

In the corridor outside, a red shimmering portal stood ready for Edric to enter. With one last look towards me the boy bowed. "Again, I liked talking with you Erza, however it seems like there can be nothing done about our predicament. Please just forget about us and go about your daily lives" he stated in goodbye, turning toward the portal. Just as he was about to step through, however, he looked back. "Oh, but you can tell Makarov that something will definitely be happening very soon, although we hope we do not need to involve your guild" Edric added, grinning as he delivered his final message before disappearing into the portal, which closed immediately after.

Suddenly by myself in the corridor I realised the pain that Edric must have gone through in his life, and whilst I was surprised at how quickly he had managed to go from looking so sad, to acting so upbeat and cheerful, this just seemed to make things even more worse for me. That was just like how I was, back before the Tower of Heaven incident… just instead of armour, Edric uses that smile to protect his heart I thought empathetically, before sighing. And I still didn't get any confirmation from Arthur about his plans… I thought to myself annoyedly, although I trust Edric enough to know that he wasn't lying;

They do not want us to be involved with anything to do with their family anymore.

Fairy Tail Guild, Autumn Time,

Year X792

Sting Eucliffe

"Haaaaa" Natsu moaned cutely as I slid my hand down his bare body, gasping his hard cock in my hand as he lay on the wooden floor of the store room.

"You're… so cute, so hot…" I breathed as I pulled off my trousers, kicking them away to bunch up alongside my discarded shirt. Natsu looked over my almost naked body.

"Have you gotten more muscular?" he quipped. I laughed.

"Ha, no. Did you manage to forget what I looked like in such a short period of time?" I replied, before pouting, "Because I certainly didn't forget anything about you, especially… how good you look naked like that" I added with a wicked smirk, my eyes eating up the pinkette's body underneath my own, the heat radiating off of him already signalling just how heated he was feeling.

Natsu smirked back slightly, a little blush rising on his face. "No, I didn't… I was just… will you just take a fucking compliment" he sighed with an annoyed pout. I chuckled, before moving to kiss along the pinkette's chin, moving down into his neck.

"Okay, okay, I know" I said soothingly, before running my fingers over his abs, "Now how about you do something for me, and reach over there toward my trousers. I've got a small bottle of lube in my pocket" I added in a pleading tone, sitting up so he could reach easier. Natsu smiled as I observed him reach, enjoying the view of his body completely uncovered before me for the first time in what felt like years.

"Y'really did come prepared" he mused, reaching over to where I had just thrown my trousers, and recovering the promised item, he pushed it against my chest. "Just wanted me to give you a better view, perv?" he asked me. I laughed, before taking hold of the bottle and standing up.

"Well, how about I give you a good view then?" I asked, before placing a thumb at the waistband of my underwear. Natsu raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He then followed the motion of the final piece of fabric with his eyes. As it was cast aside, I smirked down at Natsu, before flipping the lid of the bottle, getting ready to cover my fingers to prepare the Fire Dragon, however Natsu stopped me. "Just put it on your cock already, I don't need prepping, I just need you" the pinkette exclaimed with an impatient voice. I gave an uncertain frown.

"Natsu it's one thing not prepping when you've had sex recently, but it's been a little while" I commented. The pinkette smiled, the resolve clear in his eyes.

"I'll be fine, it's just you after all" he confirmed with a bright smirk. I nodded, however as I squirted some of the substance over my hardened member, Natsu began chuckling. "It's not like you could hurt me anyways" he added smugly. I looked over at the pinkette with a scowl, before my own smile broke onto my face.

"Really? Because I bet I could make you squirm in the next few seconds" I laughed. Natsu snorted, before grinning.

"Yeah, how're you gonna do that?" he responded cockily. He fell for it I thought to myself.

In one deft movement of my hand I squirted some of the lube toward Natsu, the cold substance splashing over his chest and stomach. "Agh! Sting! What'd you…" Natsu trailed off as he realised that, just as I had said, I made him squirm. "You planned that!" he accused me in sharp, annoyed tone. I shrugged nonchalantly in response, before grinning brightly.

"No, I didn't, I just did what I said I'd do" I replied, moving back down to the floor with Natsu. The pinkette pouted up at me, as I got close, my body between his legs, keeping him in a rather compromising position.

"I'm not so sure I even want to fuck you anymore" the Fire Dragon Slayer complained childishly. I chuckled, before kissing him.

"Yeah you do" I disagreed, before smirking, "Besides, you aren't fucking me. I'm fucking you" I added cockily. This comment made Natsu smile, before he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me in close enough that the lube he was covered in began to squelch against my chest.

"Okay, I yeah I do, but still… don't do that again" he stated. I smiled.

"How about next time I make it something more… interesting… and not as cold?" I asked, with a wry smirk.

Natsu furrowed his brows. "Like what?" he questioned me in an accusing tone. Wouldn't he like to know… I thought darkly to myself.

Shrugging one last time, before leaning into Natsu's ear, I whispered. "You'll see next time".

Natsu shivered at those words, before leaning into the crook of my neck, trailing kisses there. "I guess I will… although could we get on with this time?" he asked.

I chuckled. "Horny much, pinky?" I whispered lewdly, before nibbling a little on his ear. I could feel Natsu's smile press into my neck as he kissed the flesh.

"I'm about as horny as you, and you know it" he stated. I laughed.

"Well, if that's the case, let's not wait any longer… I'm putting it in" I said. Natsu breathed in sharply as I pressed my cock to his entrance. "You ready?" I asked the Fire Dragon Slayer one last time, seeking confirmation in his dark fiery orbs.

I didn't really even need to ask, I could see the pinkette's desperation clear as day in his eyes, however I still felt compelled to seek my boyfriend's opinion in everything, even this. "Just fuck me already!" Natsu confirmed confidently. I nodded back at him.

"Okay… just tell me if it hurts" I grinned brightly, before leaning in to lock lips with Natsu in a deep, passionate kiss. As our tongues began their own frantic dance I began to push into the pinkette, filling his ass with my cock for the first time in weeks. "Mnnmnnn…" Natsu first moan reverberated into my mouth from the kiss.

"Hah… you're so tight…" I breathed as we broke for air, the familiar sensation of Natsu's ass around my cock making me feel good to my very core.

"Sting… go in deeper… I want all of you, now" Natsu said as he looked up pleadingly at me. I smiled.

"Well… if you're asking for it…" I grinned as I rocked my hips, completely filling Natsu's ass until my cock was buried up to the hilt. "Agh…" I moaned as the heat and pressure around my member reminded me of exactly why I had to come to Fairy Tail today.

"Hahh… St-Sting!" Natsu moaned in unison. "F-feels… so good…"

I smiled, before kissing Natsu once more. "Am I okay to move?" I asked the pinkette in as sweet a tone as I could muster. Natsu did not speak a reply; he just nodded vigorously.

With another laugh, and one final kiss I smiled down at the pinkette. Then I began to move, fast. I delivered each thrust with a rhythmic force, increasing each time, the delicious sensations driving me wild. Soon though, I became lost in the feeling, my thrusts coming more erratically. As my mind blanked I thought of only Natsu, and how good he looked naked, alternating between breathing and moaning, with the contortions of his chest making each of his abs even more defined, even more beautiful. Damn… I'm gonna come soon… too soon I thought as I felt the waves of pleasure intensify as they raced up my spine. Not yet… I wanna push Natsu over first…

With the few shreds of self-control I had remaining, I angled my thrusts carefully, until I was rewarded with the exact noise that I wanted; a loud and unforgiving moan ripped from the Fire Dragon Slayer's throat. "Ha! Sting… ah… there, hit it again, I'm close" Natsu panted desperately as I hit his sweet spot, again and again.

"Natsu… Natsu…" I breathed, as I finally gave up on control and bore down into that perfect ass with all I could, feeling each and every thrust through the lust haze that enveloped my mind. "Natsu… I'm close" I warned.

"I'm… I'm gonna come too" Natsu replied breathlessly, as another, more forceful, thrust to that spot sent Natsu's vision white. "I'm c-coming, Sting!" Natsu panted suddenly, as his body shook with each wave of pleasure. I smiled at my handiwork, before kissing Natsu's heatedly, the feeling of his come splattering over my chest going largely unnoticed as his walls convulsed around my member.

"Fuck… fuck, Natsu… I'm coming" I said in between breathing and moaning. Natsu didn't reply, as he was too lost in his own orgasm to care at this point.

I rode out my orgasm to completion, before pulling out of the pinkette and flopping down beside him on the hard wood floor. "Well… I needed that. Two weeks ago" I commented with an upbeat tone, shooting Natsu a grin.

The pinkette nodded, before looking over to me. "Oh... sorry… your chest" he said, looking over to where his cum was covering my abs and pecs. I just smiled.

"It's fine. I'm sure there's gotta be something in here that I can use to clean it up" I replied casually, before leaning in towards Natsu. "Never mind that now though, how are you feeling? Good?" I asked him caringly, hoping that I hadn't hurt the pinkette too much by going too far. Natsu just laughed.

"It was better than good, it was fucking amazing" he stated, before closing the distance and kissing me. I let the sloppy kiss linger for a while, before finally pulling aweay.

"Seriously though, I didn't hurt you?" I asked the Fire Dragon Slayer. Natsu shook his head.

"No, you didn't. I told you it'd be fine, and it was. You can't hurt me that easily Sting" he stated, with an obvious hint of annoyance at my insistence. I smiled contently.

"That's alright then" I stated, before looking around the room. "I wanna lie here with you, but I should probably deal with this before it sticks too much" I added. Natsu seemed to pout in thought for a moment, as he glanced around to help me look for some old cloth or something that could be used to mop up the mess. After a moment of looking, however, I noticed the pinkette look back to me and grin. "I've just had a really great idea" he said to me, in a mischievous tone of voice. I frowned at the other Dragon Slayer, silently questioning what he was thinking; Natsu gave no clues away though. Instead, he just slid closer to me on the floor, before getting on top to pin me down below him. I looked the male up and down for a moment, before sighing.

"Natsu, I know that you love me, and I really wouldn't mind fucking again, however if we make any more mess it'll be really difficult to cover this all up" I stated, hoping that my reasoning would win out over Natsu's obvious motives. To my surprise, however, instead of trying to defend his 'idea', the pinkette frowned.

"I wasn't gonna say we fuck, I was just… gonna do this" he responded, leaning down to my body and trailing a few kisses along my neck, before reaching the first few drops of cum on my chest. Then I felt Natsu's tongue glide over my body, heatedly lapping at his own seed.

"Ah…" I breathed, as I felt the deliciously wet muscle roam all over my naked body. For a moment, I completely forgot we were in the guild, and almost was tempted to begin a whole new 'session' of 'fun' with Natsu and his devious mouth. The pinkette seemed to enjoy the experience too, especially since when he finally finished he was just as hard as me, and with just a wicked a grin on his face.

"Did you like that?" he asked cockily, as he kneeled over my, eyes eating up my body, despite the fact he had seen it in such a state many times before now. I smirked back at the pinkette and nodded.

"Yeah, do you maybe… wanna do something… more?" I replied with a playful note to my voice. Natsu raised an eyebrow interestedly.

"What do you have in mind?" he asked. I laughed darkly.

"I've got a few ideas… starting with that mouth of yours" I said.

Magnolia Train, Autumn Time

Year X792

Natsu Dragneel

"Bargh… ugh…" I groaned in pain as the carriage shook around me, the world feeling like an endless spinning torturous hell. I looked around through bleary eyes at the group.

"Geez Natsu, you're pathetic" Gray commented in his usual frosty tone. I just snorted, not willing to open my mouth and respond in case that invited something else to come out of my mouth.

"Gray, Natsu can't help it. And it looks like he's not the only one" Lucy stuck up for me, before looking to Sting, who sat to my right.

"I… it's the s-same… for all Dragon S-Slayers" Sting explained weakly as he looked just as half-dead as me. At least we both know how it feels… if only Wendy had come with us I thought, before sliding further down in my seat, grabbing at my stomach. Sting glanced over at me and tried to smile, before lurching sideways with another sick expression twisting his features.

I gave a little chuckle. It's kinda cute the way he pretends to be ok for a couple seconds, then ends up looking worse I thought to myself.

After about half an hour of suffering, the train pulled to a stop. Sting and I needed no better opportunity; before anyone could stop us, we jumped up, stomachs protesting strongly against such motion, and we ran right out of the train doors and onto the platform. Erza, Gray, Lucy and Happy all came over to the window to look at us. "You guys can't leave yet, we're not at Magnolia" Lucy called. I just grinned, before looking to Sting. The blond White Dragon Slayer grinned back at me, before I looked over to the group still on the train, that was about to depart.

With a wide smile on my face I waved. "We're gonna walk back from here, you guys go on ahead!" I called. Lucy frowned at us, before looking to Erza. I saw her ask something, before the red-head spoke.

"Fine, you can walk back. We'll tell the Master that you're on your way, this time, but make sure you're back by tomorrow!" she commanded us, just as the train doors shut, preparing for its imminent departure.

Sting and I nodded in unison. "Alright, it's not that far anyways" we both said. Erza nodded, before she, Gray, and Lucy all returned to their seats. Happy continued smirking at us as the vehicle began to move. We both watched him, as he mouthed a silent 'have fun' before passing out of sight, on the tracks towards Magnolia.

As soon as the others were safely out of sight, I looked to Sting. "Well, it'll take about two hours to get to Magnolia from here, so we've got some time to kill before we really have to leave" I stated, to which Sting nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, so what do you want to do?" he responded.

I shrugged. "I saw a hotel not far from the train station, wanna… go get a room?" I replied with a slightly wicked smile. Sting's face brightened up.

"After that train ride, I would love to rest up a bit" he stated, before beginning to walk towards the stations exit. I followed him, pouting.

"I don't think we'll get much rest" I said. Sting just smiled.

"Well, that depends on what we do, doesn't it?" he stated rhetorically, before looking over to me and raising an eyebrow. "Oh… did you mean you wanted to do something?" he added jovially. I just sighed, before lightly punching his arm.

"You know what I meant when I said get a room" I responded. He smirked, before letting out a laugh.

"Sure, I did, now come on. Let's go get a room" the White Dragon Slayer beamed, as he took hold of my hand, before dashing forward towards the hotel.

As we entered the hotel, I looked back suddenly, however there was nothing but the station and a few houses behind us. "Natsu?" Sting's voice was edged with concern at my sudden stopping. I looked over to the blond.

"Sorry, I just thought I heard something, must've been my imagination" I stated unconcerned. Sting pouted for a moment, before laughing.

"Looks like you might finally be going crazy" he laughed. I sighed and rolled my eyes at the White Dragon Slayer.

"Yeah, I must be, since I'm somehow still hanging around with you despite everything" I responded rather dryly. Sting smirked at my sharper response, before leaning in.

"You know that you love me" he said in a hushed tone, sounding disturbingly like Happy. I shook my head, before delivering another light tap to Sting's shoulder.

"Just shut up and come on, I don't wanna take too long, otherwise Erza will kill us when we get back to Magnolia" I stated, before motioning to enter the hotel and order a room. Sting followed me with a chuckle.

"I didn't know you were so desperate" he mused, before brushing a hand up my back discretely. "Although I don't mind taking our time, I guess you are right about Erza" he added.

I nodded. "Yup, I'm always right, now let's go" I chuckled, holding up our room key.

Sting laughed alongside me as I led him over to where the receptionist had gestured, to where we could 'rest up' for a bit; although neither of us had any intention of resting at all.

All we wanted to do was to make as much as we could of the opportunities that were given to us. Especially since it looks like it's not gonna be long before Sting has to go again, with the debt over he has no reason to stay after all I thought as I located the room door and eagerly opened it with the key.

Sting was all over me before I could even close the door. Or lock it.
