~No One's POV~*

Natsu laid in bed, staring at his ceiling after a restless sleep. It was 11:54 at night and Happy was sleeping soundly in his miniature bed.

'Glad my little buddy's getting better sleep than I am.' He laughed quietly at himself before going back into thought.

Once midnight hit, all dominant dragon slayers would go after a mate. From what he knew, only Rogue was submissive. He had a feeling that Wendy was too, but he couldn't be sure until she got a mate and was of age. Gajeel, Sting, Laxus, Cobra, and himself dealt with the pain of Mating Season. Luckily, the other four had mates, leaving Natsu to deal with finding a mate on his own. Mating Season would only last a week.

Natsu watched as clock chimed twelve times, signaling that midnight had approached.

'Go after her..' A voice suddenly spoke in his mind. Natsu couldn't determine if it was male or female, but he wouldn't assume genders.

'Who are you?' Natsu asked from inside his head, something he would have to get used to doing.

'I'm your inner dragon. Ever heard of me?' The voice asked in a smart-ass tone.

'Of course I have. Only dominant dragons have them. What do ya want?' Natsu had never heard the voice of his own inner dragon. He's never given into Mating Season or found his mate.

'Don't be so rude. Anyways, it seems as though you're confused about your feelings. Your mate is Wendy Marvell, the sky dragon slayer.' The voice sounded dreamy when it spoke of Wendy as though she was the best thing since sliced bread.

'Wendy?' Natsu could only repeat her name in bewilderment. He would've never thought that Wendy would be his mate, but it did make sense. They hung out often and Natsu would protect her with his life. When he did that, he thought it was because she was a fellow dragon slayer.

'Yes, the beautiful girl Wendy. Don't you think so?'

'She's cute..' Natsu trailed off.

'I knew it!' The voice said in triumph as if it had won the lottery.

'That doesn't mean I like her!'

'You're right. You don't. You lllooovvveee her~!' The voice coed, irritating Natsu.

'Whatever.' Natsu physically rolled his eyes. 'You're not too convincing, are you?'

'On the contrary, Dragneel.' Natsu head started to pound out of nowhere. 'I'm actually quite good at it.'

Natsu's mind was soon clouded with thoughts and memories of Wendy. The times she's tripped, the times she had asked help to train, when she gathered her own determination and confidence. Each thought made his head hurt as he couldn't be with her to hug and kiss her all he wanted.

'What... is this?! What are you... doing to me!? Natsu yelled in his head, the pain becoming worse each second.

'It's not me, it's you. You're resisting your urges and you're in pain because of it. Just give in and let Mating Season control you. Nothing bad will come to Wendy, as she is young. Your Mating Season will only last five days instead of the usual seven.'

'Do... you promise?"

'Promise what?'

'Promise...not to hurt her. I couldn't live with myself..if harm.. came to her...' Natsu said. The pain in his head became unbearable. His head was throbbing and it was more intense than a migraine.

'I promise.' This time, the voice sounded sincere as though he meant to keep his promise to Natsu.

'Good..'The conversation ended as Natsu gave into Mating Season for the first time.

The next morning~

Wendy looked around the guild in search of the three male dragon slayers. Actually, she was looking for a certain fire mage more so than the others.

'Where did they go?'

As she continued to scan the guild hall, Laxus and Gajeel came into the guild. The two ignored everyone else and went straight towards their mates: Levy and Freed. The two mates just so happened to be sitting next to each other, talking about an ancient language. Wendy rose an eyebrow at the two couples but shook it off.

'Maybe they know where Natsu-san is..'

Wendy made her way to the group, dodging flying barrels and soaring beer mugs.

"Gajeel-nii! Laxus-nii!" She called out to them, getting their attention. "Have you maybe have seen Natsu-san around?"

"Sorry kid. I haven't seen him since yesterday." Gajeel informed her, playing with Levy's hair.

"I haven't seen the idiot either." Laxus replied as he hugged Freed closer to him. The two mates were uncomfortable, but would get used to the discomfort.

"Oh, ok. Thanks anyway." Wendy's expression saddened as she made her way to a bar stool. She sat down with her feet dangling because of her small height.

"What's wrong Wendy?" Carla asked as she sat beside her.

"I can't find Natsu-san anywhere. I wanted to ask him something." She fiddled with the hem of her dress as she looked down.

"Have you finally decided to confess to him?" Carla said, knowing that Wendy would try to deny her affection for the pinkette.

Wendy blushed and shook her head, looking up. "No! It's not like that! I just, I want to know if he likes someone. That's all."

The doors were suddenly burned down and Erza had requipped into an armor. She let her guard back down when she realized the "intruder" was only Natsu.

"Natsu, what did I tell you about burning down the do-" Before the redhead could finish her statement, Natsu ran to the bar where Wendy sat. Not expecting this, Wendy stayed frozen in her spot. Natsu didn't attack her like she thought he would. Instead, he quickly picked her up, sat her down in his lap, wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. Natsu wore a smile on his face while Wendy had confusion masking hers.

"Uhm, Natsu-san..? Are you feeling ok?" Wendy asked, looking at his hands that were around her waist.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I be ok?" Natsu asked, burying his face in her hair.

'Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because you're hugging me in front of everyone?' Wendy thought sarcastically in her mind.

"Nevermind. Can you please let go?" She squirmed a bit to get out of his grasp. Natsu only tightened his grip and growled.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because you'll leave me."

"I won't go anywhere. I promise." Wendy smiled as her cheeks unknowingly heated up.

"Hmm, ok. Just don't go too far." Reluctantly, Natsu put Wendy down. He wanted his mate to be happy and if walking by herself did, then so be it.

"Oi! Wendy!" Freed called out to her as Levy was waving for her to sit with them. Jet and Droy had stayed at home, knowing the epic beatdown they would get from Gajeel if they didn't. Wendy sat beside them with a huge smile on her face, knowing that Natsu liked her. At least, she thought he did.

Natsu watched from afar, knowing Wendy would be safe with the other mates. He sat besides Laxus and Gajeel, the two having to get off of their mates because of their complaints.

"Welcome to the Dragon Slayer Mates Club!" Levy said with enthusiasm obvious in her voice.

"Dragon Slayer.. mates..?" Wendy repeated confusingly.

"Yes, the dragon slayers choose their mates only once a year. Levy and I were chosen last year and mates are for life apparently." Freed explained in better detail.

"Rogue is Sting's mate making you Natsu's mate. I was hoping for another girl." Levy winked at her. Wendy and Freed laughed and started up a random conversation.

The dragon slayers that sat a couple tables away watched their respective mates in silence. Every once in awhile someone would try to talk to their mates, but they would growl loudly until they left. Wendy was startled by this at first, but soon got used to it.

Natsu paid close attention to Wendy. Every detail that he'd never noticed before was brought into plain sight. The way her eyes would light up when she spoke. How her lips would move animated like as she talked. Her hair would bounce with her while she moved. Everything about her was perfect. How had he not noticed before?

"Good job, Salamander." Gajeel's voice rang in Natsu's ears. "You finally found your mate."

"I'm surprised it's Wendy of all people." Natsu growled at Laxus' statement. "Either way, I'm still glad you've got a mate."

Natsu muttered a quick 'thanks', still infatuated by Wendy. Suddenly, she got up and walked away from the table. Natsu whimpered once she was out of his sight and followed her scent. He didn't know where he was going and bursted through the women's bathroom on accident. Luckily, it had stalls. Natsu knocked (more like banged) on the stall door Wendy was behind.

Startled, she asked, "Y-Yes. Wh-Who is it?"

"Wendy, don't leave like that again without telling me." Natsu told her.

"Natsu-san! This is the girls bathroom!"

"So?"

"You can't be in here! What if someone sees you?"

"It'll be fine. I'm only waiting on you." Natsu smiled even though Wendy couldn't see it. After she used the bathroom, she stepped out of the bathroom with a red face.

"Natsu-san, please don't follow me into the bathroom again." She washed her hands, but sadly there were no paper towels. The extra's were on a high shelf that she couldn't reach. Wendy tried jumping to get the dang paper towels, but to no avail she couldn't reach them.

Natsu laughed. "Would you like some help?"

"Don't insult the vertically challenged, Natsu-san." Natsu saw a look of determination in her eyes and smiled.

"Ok then."

After a few seconds, Wendy sighed. "Can you help me, please?"

Natsu chuckled and lifted Wendy on his shoulders. She grabbed the paper towels and dried her hands, smiling.

"Thank you, Natsu-san."

Natsu hummed and placed her back on the ground. They walked out of the guild bathroom, Natsu getting a few strange looks. Wendy sat back down with Freed and Levy, but this time in Natsu's lap, him hugging her happily.

Carla would've objected, but she knew Wendy wouldn't want that and they both looked so happy with each other. She knew Wendy had a thing for the older dragon slayer and she didn't want to ruin her chances with him. What kind of best friend would she be then? So, Carla sat there, sipping her tea quietly.

"You seem pretty peaceful, Carla." Happy stated.

"So what, tomcat?"

"Since you're in such a good mood, would you like to share some fish with me?" Carla rolled her eyes, but smiled at the sight of Wendy and Natsu.

"I love you, Wendy." Natsu spoke softly in her ear making her blush heavily.

"I love you too, Natsu-san.." She replied with her voice trailing off.

"Aww~! Cute~!" All the girls in Fairy Tail cooed. Everyone knew of Wendy's crush on Natsu. It's not like she told anyone, she just made it very obvious. Wendy hid her face behind her hair in embarrassment. She felt her sitting position change, so she opened her eyes. Wendy now sat in a position where it looked as though Natsu was cradling a baby except she was still sitting in his lap. His arms were wrapped underneath her knees and his other wrapped around her shoulders to support her upper body.

"Can I kiss you?" Natsu asked out of nowhere.

'Probably just on the cheek or forehead. Like always.'

She nodded and Natsu started leaning towards her lips. Before she realized it, he was kissing her. On the lips. They stayed like that for a few seconds, Natsu kissing Wendy and her not doing anything back. He pulled away from her lips and it took Wendy a few seconds to process what had just happened.

"Why'd you kiss me on the lips?" Her mouth spoke the question she wanted to ask without thinking.

"Because you said I could." Natsu wasn't unhappy that she didn't kiss back. He knew it was her first kiss, so he didn't expect her to even know how.

'Maybe I should just enjoy this while it lasts. After all, he wouldn't do this kind of thing without the Season.' Wendy thought to herself and kissed Natsu's cheek. Freed and Levy didn't seem bothered by the couple. Gajeel and Laxus had come back to smother the two.

It had started to get late and Wendy yawned in Natsu's arms. She rubbed her eyes as they started feeling droopy and tired.

"Someone getting sleepy?" Natsu asked. Wendy nodded but looked around the guild hall for Carla.

"Carla left a few hours ago." Mira told her, noticing Wendy looking for her feline friend. She nodded and laid back down in Natsu's arms, slowly drifting away into unconsciousness. Once she fell asleep, Natsu carried her to his house and placed her gently in his bed.

The next four days were definitely going to be interesting.
