Chapter 6 - Dragon Mating Season

The next morning came faster than Laxus expected and he woke up to an extremely weird feeling in his stomach. He couldn't describe how he felt until he saw Mystogan in the kitchen. He had taken off most if the wrapping and was in black jeans and a kosode styled pale blue shirt. The blonde's stomach churned with an uneasy feeling as he soon realized this was the feeling of 'desire'. Mystogan had now noticed him standing in the doorway, "Laxus...go ahead and sit down, and I've made breakfast." He said motioning his head over to the table. All Laxus could say was, "You were supposed to stay in bed." The bluenette chuckled and set the traditional Japanese styled breakfast on the table, "That's much too boring." He replied as he and Laxus both sat down.

The two ate in silence until Laxus broke it to tell Mystogan about what just started. "'Dragon Mating Season'…?" The bluenette questioned. Laxus nodded, "Yeah….I was wondering...if you would, er,-" his nervous gaze flicked over to anything but Mystogan's face, "I will," he said, "Wait what?" Laxus blinked, "I accept," Mystogan repeated reverbing his sentence slightly taking the dishes that were now empty and walking them to the sink. Laxus sighed, that was easier than I expected…. He thought as he stood up and brought the rest of the dishes to him. "Thank you," the smaller mage said and started to clean the dishes. Laxus leaned on the counters absentmindedly drying the dishes that were handed to him. He was starting at Mystogan's body, well his neck to be exact. His gaze hungrily trailed down further to the junction of his neck and shoulder. His shirt was just slipping off of his milky colored skin. Laxus swallowed the growing lump in his throat.

"Laxus…?" He snapped out of his gaze at the call, he turned to see Mystogan with a raised eyebrow, "Yeah? What is it?" He said quickly. Mystogan reached over and adjusted his shirt, "I need to stop at the guild would you put the dishes away?" He asked innocently unknowing to the fact that just asking that and re adjusted his sleeve made the dragon slayer go crazy! Laxus nods slowly, "S-Sure…." Smiling and thanking him Mystogan slips on his mask and hood and heads to the guild making his way through his guild mates and then to the master's office. He stops there and knocks quietly. "Come on in!" Said the master's cheery voice and Mystogan did so sliding in and then shutting the door behind him. "Ah, Mystogan, what brings you here, my child?" He asked smiling. "Master, I ...was wondering if you know anything about 'Dragon Mating Season'," he asked getting straight to the point. Makarov's eyes widened and his voice began deeper and less cheery, "How do you know of this?"

"Laxus,"

"Ahh, I see…"

"Well, do you know who his mate is?" Mystogan nodded with a slight blush across his cheeks. "Me…" Master chuckled, "Well, than sit. We have lots to talk about." The sleep mage nodded and took his seat as directed. "Alright, first thing's first; Laxus won't be the same. He'll be more loving and affectionate towards you. That in itself is overwhelming. This is the 'first stage' as one might put it," Mystogan nodded and Makarov continued, "When it's time for him to mark you, your body will react strangely; you will not like being around him, this will be the second stage. Skipping the whole, 'mating' part when your mark is set, you will feel sick to your stomach and you'll be in pain. I'm sure Laxus will comfort you, don't worry but after that, you two will be one that means shared thoughts, feelings, and pain, and that is the last stage. Now listen here my child, after the second stage there is nothing I can, or will, do to stop Laxus." He finishes and Mystogan got super quiet until the Master asked him if he was alright. Nodding he replied fast, "Yes, I'm alright…!" The master smiles at him and the two go out of his office and met up with the Thunder Legion. The sleeping mage silently prayed that they hadn't heard anything but, they did. Freed was awfully nervous as Bickslow invited Mystogan to 'hang out' with the trio. He accepted gladly and they all went out on a short walk about.

On the walk Mystogan and Freed slowed down to have a somewhat private chat. "Are you feeling alright, Freed?" The bluenette asked the rune mage. He lightly shook his head, "No, I have something to confess about." He explained and Mystogan gave him a nod as to say 'go on'. Nodding himself Freed inhaled sharply and then explained how it was he that should be the one to blame for getting him locked up in prison. Mystogan listened to him explain his reasoning and took it all very well. Stopping Freed, he took his hand in his own and led him over to a small corner in the shade of two trees. Mystogan tugged his mask down to reveal his face and offered Freed a heartwarming smile. "Listen Freed, I understand what you did and why you did it, so there is no reason to be sorry." Freed was about to protest but Mystogan silenced him with a finger to his lip. "I said 'it's alright', and I mean it." Freed closed his mouth and Mystogan went on, "I forgive you for your mistake, people make mistakes all the time," This time he pulled the mage into a hug, "I don't feel as though one mistake creates who a person is, everyone deserves a second chance at life, you never know what their reasoning was unless explained in truth. So you don't have to hide it, and thank you for telling me, Freed." This brought a grin to the green-haired man's lips, "You sound like a king, Mystogan." That statement brought a wryly smile to his own lips, "Maybe in some other world, I am a king." Mystogan said letting Freed go while the other setting a hand on his shoulder, "Well, I know you would lead a country well," he said. "Thank you, Freed." The two exchanged smiles and then heard Bickslow and Evergreen from the sidewalk, "Are you two done kissing yet? We've gotta go fine Laxus!" Bickslow called smirking while Evergreen waved her fan in front of her face as if annoyed, "Honestly, you two, we are in public!" She teased as the duo laughed and with Mystogan pulling his mask back up, they all made their way to his apartment finding Laxus sprawled out on the couch.

The Thunder Legion, Laxus, and Mystogan all had a little party that night, why? Well just because they could! They also found out that Laxus and Mystogan were technically an item now so Evergreen said they HAD to celebrate it. The partied until about two in the morning and then the three left saying Laxus could 'spend the night again' and that left the two at the doorway with Mystogan waving the legion 'goodbye' and Laxus just standing there with his arms crossed. When Mystogan closed the door Laxus instantly snaked his arms around his torso in a backwards hug dragging him into the living room. Laxus sat on the couch cuddling into Mystogan's back as the sleep mage drew small circles into his hand smiling. "Are you sure about this….?" He mumbled in his shirt peeking out from behind him to look at him. Mystogan turned his head to look at him too and nods, "Yes, I am certain of my feelings now," he turns back and brings up Laxus' hand placing kisses on each knuckle, "I know that what I feelings for you are beyond love." This causing the lightning dragon to grin widely and hug him even tighter, but Mystogan couldn't do that, Laxus already had him so close he thought he might die of suffocation! "L-Laxus…! Stop…I can't…-breath…!" He croaked out and Laxus instantly let him go with a 'whoops, sorry!'. Turning around in his lap, Mystogan and Laxus were now face to face; pressing their foreheads together they shared a loving kiss before heading to bed.

The next few days were absolute hell for Laxus and Mystogan as the two got into small fights and both felt like they wanted to be nowhere near each other and they would always come back together during the night and cuddle while they slept. One of the days Laxus couldn't help but make a move on the sleeping mage and got smacked for it. I'll just say that didn't end well, and in the end it was Mystogan who shed tears from the match. Laxus instantly took responsibility and calmed him down, he was there to hold him as he cried and rubbed his back gently. After a kiss, they made up and that day marked the end of the first stage. The second stage came in a matter of hours as Mystogan was happily showering, ALONE I might add, and Laxus just walked in and kind of said 'hi' with a kiss. Yeah, that didn't end well either. At least for Mystogan it didn't. Fuming with anger, Mystogan was dressed and the two left for the guild, Laxus following Mystogan around like a lost puppy. He honestly thought it was adorable but slightly annoying as the lightning mage would glare at anyone whose eyes lingered on him for 'too long'. The day was uneventfully except for the night, that is when the 'mates-to-be' were sitting on the second floor of a nearly empty guild hall. They both had their legs propped on one another's as they sipped their drinks. Mystogan had tea while Laxus drank a small glass of wine. Mystogan was debating on if he wanted to tell Laxus about Edolas, "You know," his lover's voice broke him out of his thoughts, "You don't have to hesitate to tell me something, I won't judge you." He said casing Mystogan to smile. "Thank you, Laxus," he took in a breath, "In that case I do have to tell you something," Laxus nodded indicating that he was listening.

"My name is really 'Mystogan' and I don't come from this world, I was born in a world parallel to this one, the name of my world is "Edolas". In that world I was born into a noble family, in other words, my father is the ruler of Edolas; he is the 'king'." He explained Laxus' raising an eyebrow, "So….You're telling me that you're an alien prince?" Mystogan smiles rolling his eyes, "To you, technically, yes I am." Laxus leaned back in the chair, "Sweet, now continue," He chuckles and continues his small back ground story, "My real name is 'Jellal' but I never agreed with my father's way of doing things so I ended up running away when I was six years old. That's when I was saved and taken in by an Exceed," that the confused look Laxus gave him Mystogan explained that Carla and Happy are Exceeds as well and that in Edolas they are considered 'gods'. "So why did you end up here?" The mage asked, "Unlike here on Earthland, Edolas doesn't have a constant supply of magical energy, that's why my father created what is known as "Anima". Anima is a magic portal that takes magic energy from Earthland and transfers it to Edolas. When I was like young, I managed to reverse one of the portals and I came here to stop my father from stealing magic energy from this world."

Laxus smirks and switches sides to sit next to Mystogan wrapping an arm around his shoulders, "So, my lover is a prince? That's pretty sweet; I bet everyone would be jealous to hear that." He said but Mystogan stopped him, "No, you can't tell anyone…If people were to find out….my world would be in danger." He said and Laxus raised an eyebrow, "For leaving you sure love that world a lot, don't you?" he asked. The bluenette nodded with a smile, "Yes, I do. I hope I get to see it one more time too," Laxus furrowed his eyebrows, "You don't plan on going back to rule when you're dad's gone?" Mystogan shook his head, "No, silly, I couldn't leave the love of my life here all alone could I?" He smiles as Laxus' cheeks get pink. "Shut up!" Laxus said laughing and ruffling the blue mop of hair. Mystogan laughed as well. The Master came up after this with a wide grin on his face, "Laxus, my boy, I have something to talk to you about, could I have a word?" Laxus glanced over at his grandfather with his hand still pushing down on Mystogan's head and he nodded, "Yeah, sure gramps." He said and after both he and Mystogan playfully kicked one another he went off to follow Makarov.

When Laxus came back his cheeks were still pink causing Mystogan to raise an eyebrow. The Master was waving at the two of them with a happy smile as Laxus dragged Mystogan away. "Laxus….? Laxus what's wrong?" he asked the slayer numerous times but there was no answer. He was about to say his name again when he was cut off by a kiss, "Just come with me," Laxus whispered to him and not wanting to say 'no', followed him. Laxus took him hand-in-hand on a small walk. The two came to the place they shared their second confessions and laid down using one another as pillows. They watched the stars in silence until Laxus spoke up, "Mystogan….?" The said man looked over at him, "I…" he bit his lip unsure about how to go on so Mystogan slipped their hands together, "It's okay," he whispered quietly and Laxus nodded flipping on his side and pinning Mystogan to the ground. He leans down and kisses his lips and then his neck. Rubbing his lips over the shell of his ear, the blonde whispered in it, "I need you," Nodding with a small blush Mystogan gently pushed him up and stood up Laxus following suit and doing the same. "Come on then; I wouldn't want to keep you waiting~…" The sleep mage teased causing Laxus to smirk, "You're gonna regret that!" he said chasing him. Seeing this Mystogan sprinted out of there and raced him to his apartment.

The couple reached Mystogan's apartment and stepped inside Laxus just sliding his boots off and Mystogan slipping his sandals off. "Laxus how are we-hnm….!" Mystogan started to ask the dragon slayer how they were even going to do this when he had been whirled around and his lips were stolen. Laxus now had the sleep mage pinned to the wall with both of his hands on either side of Mystogan's head blocking any means of escape. The kiss was hungry, lustful, and passionate and Mystogan returned it with just as much emotion as Laxus had started with. Pulling each other together, the bluenette wrapped his arms around Laxus' shoulders while Laxus grabbed Mystogan's right thigh and hoisted his leg up to his hip. Doing the same with his other leg, the only thing that was keeping Mystogan from falling was the wall and Laxus' body.

An eager moan slipped from the blue's lip as the blonde snaked his arm around his back taking him off the wall holding him firmly to his torso. Taking that to his advantage, Laxus quickly slid his tongue into the other's mouth opening his eyes only so that he wouldn't run them into any walls or furniture. Mystogan wrapped his legs around Laxus' waist as they broke the kiss for air. He rested his chin on the other's shoulder as he was carried to his room and then laid back on the double bed. Laxus untied the mask around Mystogan's neck and threw that on the floor along with his hood. His neck was completely open now.

Laxus felt lust and desire boil inside of his body as his grey eyes turning a bright gold color. His body began its slight transformation as his fangs grew longer and sharper and pronounced. Laxus sat on the bed and picked up Mystogan swiftly setting him in a straddling position, "Are you sure about this?" He asked as his golden eyes flicked up at Mystogan's. He nodded smiling at him, "Yes," Laxus nodded and placed a sweet and loving kiss to his lips before trailing down his chin to his neck. He kissed and sucked on the tender junction where his neck connects to his shoulder. "Ahh…~..." Mystogan couldn't help but let out small moans at the sucks and nips. He held onto Laxus' arms and squeezed them when he knew he was ready.

Opening his mouth and flicked his tongue over the now slightly red mark and then bit down on it sinking his fangs into his lover's skin. The latter cried out in pain and clung to him his body starting to shake and his eyes stinging with tears. Laxus slowly dragged his fangs out of his skin and where there should have been blood was a shining light and then a beautiful yellow lightning dragon mark. Smiling at his work he hugged Mystogan and snuggled into his neck placing small kisses over the mark and rubbing his back. Now the hard part…. He thought as Mystogan clamped a hand over his mouth a few tears sliding down his cheeks. I know the master said I would feel sick but-this-this is almost unbearable….! The bluenette thought in distress trying to hold back the feeling of wanting to puke his organs out.

During these few minutes Laxus patiently held him until the sick feeling was over then he felt a wave of heat burst through his body, it made him shiver. "What the-...?" He was about to question when he met Mystogan's eyes. They were burning with desire. His signature smirk crossed the slayer's lips as the two hungrily kissed each other again. It easily turned into a French kiss with bits of nips and bites in the midst. Laxus trailed his hands down to Mystogan's hips drawing small circles in them as the sun slowly went down. The two's silhouettes could be seen slowly stripping the other until they were both completely naked. Lying down on the propped up pillows on his headboard Mystogan would moan and wiggle in pleasure as the blonde would kiss from his ankles all the way to his lips his hands trailing up his legs to his hips. The only light in the room now was that of the setting sun as the couple processed to fight over dominance.

Laxus eventually won that battle and took over pleasuring his mate rolling him on his tummy and planting kisses and nips along his shoulders and down his back. Flipping him over again he pulled Mystogan's legs together and then up on his shoulder and kissed along his toned calves. "Oh...Laxus~" the bluenette would moan out and the dragon mark on his neck would grow brighter and brighter. At this point they could both feel what the other was feeling their bodies sweating with excitement. Lustfully, the blonde licked and bit along his legs leaving behind small red marks, and poking his hips every once in an awhile sending small sparks of his lightning through his body.

Mystogan repositioned his legs at either side of Laxus' sitting body as their lips meet and Mystogan wrapped his arms around Laxus' neck with the latter easily pulling him up into a sitting position. With Mystogan now straddling him, the blonde decided that just kissing his love wasn't as entertaining to him as hearing the other's moans. Gently unwrapping Mystogan's arms and holding both of his wrist together with one hand, Laxus held his arms firmly above his head causing his body to lift off of his lap slightly. "Ohhh…~" Mystogan throws his head back as Laxus captures one of his nipples in his mouth. Smiling at the moan Laxus sucked on the bud playing with the other with his free hand. Both of them could feel the waves of pleasure coursing through their bodies, as the couple got a tight feeling around their hips.

Biting down softly on his nipple Laxus let's go of Mystogan setting him down on his lap again. With his arms released the bluenette tangled his fingers in the blonde hair and played and tugged on the thick strands. He had no time to play however as he was pushed back into the pillows, "Ooff…-ah, Laxus what are y-?" He started but he was interrupted as Laxus stuck two fingers in his mouth. "Suck," he commanded as he traveled licks and kisses down Mystogan's ribs and belly to his hips and abdomen. Doing as he was told, Mystogan sucks and licked over Laxus' fingers trying not to hurt him with his teeth, but he wasn't worried about him hurting Laxus, he was worried about Laxus hurting him with those canines! "I promise not to hurt you," he mumbled against his skin, causing Mystogan to stop sucking on his fingers, "Wait….how did you?" Laxus removed his fingers and sat up shrugging, "Dunno, I just heard it," He said and rubbed his fingers together. Mystogan blushed furiously watching him do that and turned his head, but that just made Laxus' job easier.

Picking his hips up with one hand, Laxus rubbed his fingers over Mystogan's exposed shaft rubbing into it slowly. He moans out and mutters something incoherent as Laxus continues leaning down and flicking his tongue over the tip of his manhood. Biting his lip but still unable to hold back moans, Mystogan took all of the pleasure Laxus gave him that night. The couple made passionate love till neither of them could hold their eyes open and fell asleep cuddling one another tightly.

"Mystogan…?"

"Yes, Laxus…?"

"I really, truly love you,"

A smile, "I love you with all of my heart, Laxus."

"Thank you…"
