Hey guys! Guess who just turned 18 on the 17? ME! Yup, as of yesterday(Its only 11:00pm here) I am legal! But I am sooo sorry this took so long.. Refer to the bottom for an explaination. But anywho, on with the story..

"Thoughts or implications"

Thoughts

Natsu ran to his house. "A mission alone with Lucy?" Natsu wasn't exactly sure about that. They had been on missions alone before, of course, but he was sure something would be different this time. Of course he and Lucy were best friends but he definitely feeling something that was way beyond the friend zone for her.

He thought back to this morning and he was sure she felt something for him and according to her scent, she wanted him in a very intimate way. Almost just as much as he wanted her.

Almost.

Now, they were going on a mission together. Just like always, only difference this time is that they will be alone and it just happened to be during this time.

According to Gajeel, it was Dragon Mating Season. During this time, dragons were suppose to be very aggressive. Almost feral like and untamable. They could only be sated by claiming their mates.

Unlike their dragons, the slayers had a more subtle approach. They would only be extremely flirtatious and pervy during this time. And like their dragons, it would only get worse until they claimed their mates. Gajeel also told him that he would be even more horny than it was normal for a teen boy to be, which according to him, is very painful.

Those circumstances were exactly why Natsu wasn't so sure about being alone with Lucy.

He had known for a while how he felt about her and he had also known that he wanted her to be his mate. He was positive about that part. He just wasn't so sure if that's what she wanted.

It was too late for him to bail on the mission now though. They had already accepted the mission. Natsu just hoped that nothing would go wrong.

- Lucy's PoV

"I wonder what was up with Natsu." She thought, as she walked silently inside of her house. She began to pack while she thought.

Natsu was acting really strange and she didn't know why. First, he kisses on her this morning and then he just runs off without stopping by like he and Happy normally do before missions.

Lucy sighed as she finished packing. The mission will take the at least a week and a half to finish so Lucy made sure to pack enough close and extra.

She laid in her bed and began thinking about Natsu again. Wondering if he is going to come over tonight like usual or not and just about him in general.

She stared at the window. She always knew she had a strong attraction to him, she just didn't know how strong it was. Lately she had been having lots of dreams about them being in different situations with each other varying from extremely intimate to just plain cute. Either way, she knew Natsu was dense and would probably never understand any of it, but after his performance this morning, she had her doubts.

She sighed turning over pulling the covers over her drifting off to dream land.

-Normal PoV

Natsu stared at Lucy. She looked so beautiful sleeping. He could literally stare at her all day. She sighed in her sleep and he could only smile.

He walked closer to her, moving a stray hair strand behind her ear.

"Natsu.." She whisper snuggling into the warmth of hand.

Natsu smiled again, rubbing her cheek with his thumb before leaving back out the window.

Lucy woke up suddenly. She looked around. She was almost sure that Natsu was in her room.

Seeing that he wasn't there, she got her supplies together and walked to meet Natsu.

"Yo Luce! Good Morning!" Natsu smiled at her as he walked up to train station.

"You're late Natsu."

"Sorry Lucy you know I hate trains I'm dreading this."

"Where is Happy?"She looked around for the blue cat.

"Oh, he decided to go and visit the other cats of Edolas."

"Oh,so its just us then?"

"Yup, I guess so!" He smiled, though he was internally freaking out.

I am sooo sorry this took sooo long to get out. This chapter was soo painful for me to write. Mainly because of my writers block that I have. But I need to get you guys a chapter out. It has been way past a month since I released a chapter of this story.. But College is boring.. Maybe because I have only been here for four weeks... Oh well! I promise you! I will get chapter four up as soon as I can! I am going to start on it during my first break which because next Friday so expect it sometime during the first week in October... But no promises!
