11am at the guild, two days after fantasia.

"So you're the 'Black Steel Gajeel' I've heard so much about during my travels, eh?" Natsu said as he sat down just opposite of said Iron dragon slayer.

"H-hai. I take it you're the 'Dragon of Fairy Tail/Fiore'?" Gajeel said, hoping not to make an enemy out of the second Wizard Saint.

"Fiore? That's a new one. I only have one question for you." Natsu said seriously, causing Gajeel to sweat nervously. "Do you eat metal, or iron, in your case?" Natsu asked, causing the people that overheard him to sweatdrop.

It was then that Gajeel turned lifeless and his soul slipped out of his mouth. "N-nani? I only asked a question…oh well. Laxus! Bring us two beers please." Natsu talked to himself before ordering two drinks.

"Hai," was the only response he got from the lightning dragon slayer as said blond was too embarrassed walking around in a dress.

Natsu suddenly stood up and walked over to a certain blond Celestial mage. "Eh? Who are you? Are you new to the guild? What's your name?" he let out a barrage of questions.

"M-my name's Lucy Heartfilia. I just joined six months ago(I can't remember if it actually was six months or not…) with the help of Gray." She timidly replied, still shy around Natsu.

"Gray?...Oh yeah! That reminds me!" Natsu said before walking towards said Ice Make mage. "Gray, ready to have that duel you so desperately wanted?" Natsu asked with a grin.

Part where Gray has his ass handed to him on a silver platter just finished and Natsu didn't so much as flinch.

It was now mid-afternoon and Natsu was just lazing around the bar, chatting with his best friend.

"Fine I'll allow you to change before going out of the guild. But! You have to change back the minute you enter again. Okay?" Natsu said, finally giving in to Laxus' begging.

Laxus immediately jumped on Natsu, hugging the life out of him, "Thank you so much! Arigatou guzaimasu!" Laxus practically yelled. He then started planting kisses all over Natsu's face. One would think he was under torture and was given a compromise…oh wait.

While this was happening, Freed just looked on with jealousy, and anger, and any emotion affiliated with jealousy. "Freed, don't tell me you're jealous of Natsu being kissed all over by Laxus?" Bickslow asked in a teasing tone.

"I-its not like that!" the green haired mage was too quick to defend himself, causing his best friend to grin.

Before anything else could be said or done, there was the sound of bells ringing.

Natsu could only grin as he held Laxus in his lap. " The Gildarts shift…the old man is finally back huh?"

"Gildarts? He hasn't been here for three years. Wonder what took him so long." Laxus murmured from Natsu's lap, before getting up and heading behind the bar again, already missing the warm arms that were around him.

A few minutes later

Gildarts came strolling into the guild, immediately flipping Gray into the ceiling. He then came in and sat next to Natsu. "And who are you?" he questioned Natsu.

"You getting senile with old age, old man? You don't even recognise the person you always disturbed?" Natsu stated with a grin.

"Eh?! Natsu?! When did you grow so tall?" Gildarts asked. It was true, Natsu had grown. Before the fire dragon slayer left for his SSS-Class mission, he was only at Gildarts' shoulder. Now, he was the same height as Gildarts

"Well, it has been four years." Natsu deadpanned. "HAHAHA" was Gildarts' only response. After chatting with the master, he decided that Makarov, himself and Natsu needed to talk privately.

In the guild master's office

"Halfway through my mission, I encountered a beast so terrifying that I was almost running with my tail between my legs. It was a dragon. A black one, with blue tribal markings around its body-" Gildarts was cut off.

"Acnologia! That was what I spent the better part of four years hunting down!" Natsu exclaimed. Gildarts and Makarov looked at him to continue. "I actually did find it. We got into a fight and it ended after I chopped off half of it's right arm. After that, it flew away, and I couldn't find it again."

Gildarts then started telling them about how he lost his left arm and leg to the foul creature in a one-sided battle.

After a while of discussing Acnologia, Natsu decided it was time for a topic change.

"Master, lately I've been having these dreams-" he was cut off by the Crash Magic mage, "About girls?" Gildarts said while eiggling his eye brows.

"Uresai, you old hentai! I've been dreaming about this black haired guy, crying and saying the world keeps rejecting him. Then one time, I dreamt of myself as a little kid; maybe 4 or 5, calling a younger version of the black haired guy 'onii-chan'." Makarov started thinking about this now.

"That's not even the most worrying part. In one dream, someone called him Zeref. As in the Black Wizard. I can't help but feel as if I'm connected to him somehow." Natsu said with an uncharacteristically worried face.

"Well, there's nothing we can do until we have more information. Its best not to dwell over it, Natsu. Tell me when you have another one of those dreams." Said Makarov, wisely.

At Natsu and Laxus' house

"Natsu? What's wrong?" Laxus said as he hugged the second Wizard Saint from behind. Said Wizard Saint was standing at the second floor balcony overlooking the forest and a bit of Magnolia.

"*Sigh* Nothing's wrong. Well, nothing I can't handle. If it turns out to be something serious, you'll be the first person I tell, 'kay?" Natsu replied, turning around to face the blond mage while still in his embrace.

"H-hai." Was Laxus' reply. The both of them fell into a comfortable silence, both gazing at each other with slight blushes. 'WHY THE HECK AM I BLUSHING?! Wait…is he blushing too? Maybe…' thought our ever dense fire dragon slayer.

'WHY THE HECK IS HE BLUSHING TOO?! Does he…no, its impossible…but maybe…' thought our equally dense lightning dragon slayer. "Let's go to bed, its late now." Laxus said.

They both got ready and took their usual positions on the bed; both spooning with Natsu being the big spoon.

And with that, our chapter comes to an end.

Just kidding! In the morning.

This was by far Laxus' favourite way to wake up; in the arms of his best friend, Natsu's breath tickling his ear. He had been alone for so long, thinking that the pinkette was… that when they first arrived home, the blond demanded they sleep in the same bed like they used to.

Laxus turned around to face the sleeping mage. He decided to card his fingers through the soft salmon locks to wake him up.

Natsu woke to the most comfiest feeling in the world. "*Yawn* G'morning Lax," Natsu yawned his greeting, before snuggling into the lightning mage in hopes to tell the sun its not morning yet.

"Nat, you gotta get up." The pinkette's only response was to groan in annoyance.

"But I don't wanna~" he whined.

"hmm…" 'If I throw him in the shower, he'll make me wear a dress from home.' Laxus tried to formulate some sort of plan to no avail.

Then, the lightning mage leaned even closer to the fire mage and…nibbled his ear. "Nat, you need to get up," Laxus said, while still nibbling Natsu's ear. "Besides, don't you have that Wizard Saint meeting that even Gramps couldn't back out of?"

That did the trick. Natsu was immediately up and about. Once showered and freshened up, he was in the closet in less than six minutes. Going with a fiery red dress shirt, black slacks and dark brown shoes, he re-quipped a body-length fur coat. However, it wasn't his usual reddish-purple coat, no this was a pure white coat with off-white fur. On the back of this coat was the Wizard Saint emblem in orange. To top off the outfit, he had a thin white crown with the WS emblem in the middle, just above the forehead.

"Woah, why such a fancy get up?" The blond questioned.

"Well, seeing as I am the second WS, I am part of the Four Gods Of Ishgar and I have to dress my status. The annoying crown is to show that the FGOI acknowledge my power and believe that I will surpass God Serena in the next few months, overtaking his position as the first…and the fact that I'm the second Wizard Saint means that while the first is not in Fiore, I'm in-charge." Natsu replied.

"Honestly, I'm fine with everything else, except for this stupid crown…" Natsu ended off irritated

"I'm sure you'll do fine, Natsu. Now c'mon, let's go to the guild for breakfast." Laxus replied leisurely.

At the guild, bar.

Natsu had just finished three plates of flaming food, courtesy of Mirajane. "Ahh, that was delicious. Laxus, why don't you get the recipe from Mira and cook for dinner tonight?" Natsu suggested.

"M-me? Are-are you sure?" 'Nat wants me to cook for him? I need to do my best!'

"Yeah! Remember when we were kids, you said one of you biggest dreams was to become skilled in cooking. I miss those days…" The pinkette reminisced about the past.

"Why do you miss those days?" The blond asked, curious.

"Well, the main reason is because you smiled more often." Natsu told him, failing to notice the bond's heavily blushing face.

"Well, I didn't have anything to smile about until now, so just wait a little while more and I'm positive I'll be smiling like all those years ago." At this, Natsu gave Laxus one of his famous, heart-melting grins.

And his heart fluttered.

"Anyway, its about time for Gramps and to leave." Natsu then proceeded to hug the living daylights out of Laxus.

When the pinkette let go, someone called him by his title. "Saint Dragneel." Said the voice of Makarov, as he was seen bowing in front of Natsu.

"Master! What the heck are you doing?! Get up! I already don't like people doing that for formal purposes, what makes you think I would even come close to liking a person I've seen as a grandfather for most of my life bowing to me!" Natsu exclaimed.

"HAHAHA, I was only pulling your leg Natsu!" Makarov chuckled.

"Its time for us to go anyways. See you in a few hours, Gramps." Natsu said.

"Eh? You're not taking the train to Era?" Makarov asked.

"Nope, I'm flaming to my supposed office. I'll have to get the papers and lacrimas for today's meeting and briefing ready. Then, I will be helping you with the setting up of the S-Class trials. SO WHOEVER WANTS TO BE PROMOTED, GET OFF OF YOUR LAZY ASSES AND GET TO WORK! I WON'T EVEN CONSIDER YOU FOR THE TRIALS IF YOU'VE DONE LESS THAN 150 JOBS!" Natsu explained to Makarov, before shouting to the rest of the guild, whom all started moving to the request board immediately, wanting to get jobs done asap.

With that, the second Wizard Saint vanished in a big surge of magical energy as his body disintegrated into fire and vanished.

"That's my dad for you!" Said a small, cute voice.

"Happy! Where have you been?!" Laxus asked.

"I've been fishing!" Happy exclaimed.

"For four years?" the blond deadpanned.

"Well, no. At first I tried to look for Natsu, but I gave up after three months. Then I remembered Natsu giving me a lacrima pendant for the necklace you gave me, he told me it would glow whenever he was nearby. So for three years and a few months I lived in the hut at the cliff, waiting for dad to come back!"

"You could've just come back…" Laxus said.

At the Magic Council/Wizard Saint building in Era

"Woah! My office is thrice the size master's office is." Natsu thought aloud.

"Ah, I thought I heard another voice. Don't get too comfortable, I am confident you will be using the first's office by next month. If he doesn't return in the next two weeks, you'll have to use the magic meter lacrima for Wizard Saints."

"Worrod-san. You're just smug that Fairy Tail has more than two members/ex-member in the WS, aren't you." Natsu said, with no expression at all.

"Hai, hai. Fairy Tail is to great now, Mavis would be happy." The fourth WS said as he walked out of Natsu's office.

"Hmm…well, time to get to work."

Fairy Tail guild hall.

Laxus was currently sulking while cleaning glasses at the bar. The reason for his sulking was the absence of a certain pinkette.

"Makarov!" someone suddenly shouted as the doors to the guild hall bust open, emitting dark magic. There, in the doorway, was Jose Porla, looking seriously pissed off.

"Where the FUCK IS MAKAROV?!" He bellowed.

"He's not here now. Go away." Laxus said calmly.

"And why would I believe the word of a cross-dressing hentai!?" Jose spat.

Laxus than flashed away, only to reappear in his normal clothes. "Gramps isn't here right now, but I am. Jet, go find Erza, don't even think about getting Gildarts, unless you want the entire hall to blow up."

"Let the fight begin then, Laxus Dreyer, grand-"

"Woah, stop right there, refer to me as the Thunder God of Fairy Tail. Just be lucky the Dragon isn't here or you would've been dead the moment you walked in. Lightning Dragon's Roar! Mjolnir!"

3 hours later after the WS meeting.

"Gramps, I'm going to flame over to the guild, I have a bad feeling and my feelings are always right." Natsu told Makarov as he walked out of the building.

"That's fine Natsu, I'll be taking the train."

With that, Natsu disintegrated into fire before vanishing.

Half destroyed Fairy Tail guild hall.

Laxus lay on the ground, beaten up and bruised. Erza was in a similar state. So was most of the guild.

"HAHAHA, do you see now, fairy flies? You should learn to respect your betters!" Jose said with a laugh.

Happy, who was beside Laxus, noticed his necklace start glowing. The blond lightning mage noticed this and started to chuckle.

"What are you laughing at? Worthless cross-dressing maggot?" It was then that the area started feeling warmer. At least to Jose. However, to the rest of Fairy Tail, the warmth was familiar, inviting and pleasant.

Other guild members who figured it out were either chuckling or grinning.

Happy spoke up, "Jose, stop insulting Fairy Tail and Laxus. HE will be royally pissed."

"He?" Jose said, looking sceptical.

Intense heat started flowing around the guild hall as a figure made completely of fire emerged in front of Jose, having no features except red eyes.

"Jose Porla, it seems Master's Fairy Law wasn't enough the last time. I. Am. Angry." The figure said with such finality that everyone in the room, save for Laxus and Happy, cringed in fear.

"Ex-Wizard Saint and current dark mage, do you know what, as the Second Wizard Saint, I can do? You did three things wrong today."

"One; You destroyed half the guild hall." Natsu said, letting his boddy reform slowly.

"Two; You insulted my best friend." Natsu's features were almost visible, save for his eyes, which were shadowed by his hair and crown.

"Three; You attacked my nakama. MY. FAMILY." All of his features were visible, his eyes were glowing red.

"S-saint D-dragneel, th-this is all a misu-understanding!" Jose said, backing away slowly.

"Fairy Law wasn't enough for you. No, My Law will literally eradicate you from existence." Natsu brought his hands in a praying position and closed his eyes. "A low-powered one would do the trick." Natsu said to himself, but everyone heard.

Suddenly, Natsu opened his eyes, which were now green from sclera to pupil, saying out loud, "Dragon Law." A white ball of energy the size of Happy's paw appeared in the space that was available between Natsu's hands.

"N-no! Plea-"

"Is Invoked!" Natsu then clapped his hands together and a Gigantic ray of light engulfed the whole of Magnolia and then some.

Everyone that was injured, found themselves healing at a rapid pace, while the core members of Fairy Tail just took in the feeling of warmth and comfort that surrounded them. There was no type of magic that could compare to the feeling of Master Makarov and Natsu's magic.

When the light died down, what remained of Jose were ashes, while Natsu looked like casting a spell of that magnitude was like breathing.

"Everyone that isn't seriously injured! Start the clean up! Gramps will be here in four hours!" After Natsu said that, he went over to Laxus, who was still laying on the ground.

"I knew you'd come on time." Laxus sighed as Natsu pulled him into his lap as soon as the pinkette sat down.

"Does is still hurt anywhere?" Natsu asked. When he got a negative response, he smiled and started carding his fingers through the lightning mage's hair, earning another sigh of contentment.

"Erza, tell Gramps what happened when he gets back. I'm going to take Laxus back home." Natsu said and after receiving a nod from the scarlet haired mage, he grabbed Happy and Laxus before flaming away.

At the Dreyer-Dragneel house

After giving Happy a bath and making sure he was asleep in his own room, he went to his and found Laxus already dressed for bed. He quickly did his nightly routine and got dressed for bed.

"Hey Lax?" Natsu asked as he laid down next to the blond.

"Yeah Nat?" Was his response as they both stared at each other.

"Well, I…was wondering…if you wanted to…erm…go out for dinner with me tomorrow night?" The pinkette finished with a blush.

Laxus' face turned red. "L-like a d-date?" he stammered.

"H-hai." Natsu replied also blushing full force. "B-but it doesn't have to be a date i-if you want." Natsu said quickly.

"A date sounds nice. Oyasumi, Nat." Laxus said hastily, hiding his flushing face in the crook of Natsu's neck.

"O-oyasumi, Lax." Natsu said, grinning like an idiot before burying his face in soft blond hair.

OMG. I legit just typed whatever came to mind and BAM! Here we are! Next update will contain jealousy, FLUFF and a lot of stuff! (See what I did there?) Anyways, R&R and the next chapter should be up by Friday or Saturday. Arigatou minna!
