Sorry for the wait everyone, I just haven't felt inspired. But now that time has passed I hope you enjoy my new part to my "inter-related drabbles". - Thankyou guest reader for the terminology. So without further ado, enjoy!
The next morning Lucy and Natsu decided to go to the guild and tell their friends about what was happening with the mating mark. On arrival they noticed that Gajeel, Levy, Grey, Erza and Wendy were all sitting at a table together near the bar. Walking over to the group they sat down together and started to explain what had happened so far.
"So you know how Lucy and I are mated?" Natsu started, trying to break the ice into the conversation.
"WHAT!?" Erza exclaimed, "And why am I unaware of this!? How long has this been for?" Erza demanded to know answers
"Oh I forgot that you weren't here yesterday when this all started." Natsu reached up and rubbed the back of his head, remembering the whole situation with the book. "This is only the second day we have been mated so just calm down and let us explain."
This time Lucy spoke, "Ok, so now we have passed that, when we had to do the mating ritual, we had to give each other these." Lucy said as she held up her wrist and pointed to Natsu's. "Currently I'm just calling them mating marks."
"Wow, they're sooo pretty." Wendy marvelled at them.
As they explained what had happened so far, the group looked absolutely shocked, like they were talking to two naked strangers who were doing an Irish jig or something.
"So far we have grey which is just the normal colour of it, light blue for physical pain and black for nightmares. Oh, and when it goes black it feels like it's slightly on fire. I don't know how to explain it though, it's just really weird and shocking enough to wake you up." Lucy finished explaining.
Over hearing the whole conversation Mira just cooed at them for being an awesomely cute couple that are connected with a sixth sense for one another.
"Have you guys heard of anything like this before?" Natsu asked a little concerned, but mostly excited. "Levy?" He turned to the solid script mage for answers.
"No sorry, I have never heard anything of the sort." She apologised sincerely. "But anyway, why didn't you tell me Lu-chan? I'm meant to be your best friend!"
"Sorry Levy, I just forgot to mention it, I guess." Lucy looked down, showing how bad she felt.
"We could help you figure out what other colours your mating marks turn." This time it was Grey that spoke, looking eagerly at the two mates.
"I don't know," Lucy started, feeling slightly nervous at the fact of her guild mates doing random things trying to spark the marks.
"Natsu look" Wendy said excitedly pointing at his wrist. "It's yellow!"
"Wow, thanks ice brain," Natsu said as he gave Grey a death stare.
"You wanna go," Grey retorted.
"Enough," Erza commanded as they had forgotten that she was at the table with them. She turned to Lucy, "What are you feeling? What does yellow mean?"
"Ummm…I was nervous at the thought of what colours the mark could change and how to activate them." Lucy answered as her nerves dropped slowly.
"Awesome, that's one less colour to worry about." Natsu beamed, "Maybe we should write this stuff down. So we don't forget."
"That's a great idea, I'll go a pen and paper from the library. I'll be back." Lucy stated as she got out of her chair walking towards the library.
"Well so far it has only been negative emotions that spark the mark." Levy chimed.
"I've got an idea on how we can tell if it changes colour when we're happy." Natsu started, motioning them to move in closer.
Whispering for a moment they all leaned back and nodded together understanding the plan. Mira had to stifle a laugh as she was still over hearing their conversations. 'I can't believe how cute they are! This will be fun to watch. Better go get the camera.' She thought silently to herself, giving a demon-like grin.
So guys, what do you think Natsu is planning? How do you think it's accomplished? What do you think he'll discover? Comment your thoughts, and you never know. I may just like some of your ideas so much that I incorporate it into my next chapter or future chapter of "inter-related drabble".
Until next time my lovelies,
