Hey Guys! I will try to update this as soon as I can but it might take me a while since I have school and test and homework.

"No Natsu, she's not dead she is just in a very deep sleep and she is going to stay that way for a long while. But don't worry, we will take care of her and protect her from anyone who wants to take her from us."

With that said Makarov smiled and left knowing that Igneel and little Natsu were up to the task.

It was midnight and Igneel, Natsu, and Skyler were all asleep in the castle they would be staying at as instructed by Mavis.

Natsu opened his eyes and listened carefully to figure out if Igneel was awake. Once he knew that his dragon father was asleep he slipped away to go explore the enormous castle.

As Natsu was exploring he came across a very sweet smell. It smelled like grapefruit and sugar. Then a huge grin spread on his face knowing only one person that smelled that way.

He soon came across the room he was looking for. With a satisfied grin on his face he slowly opened the door and walked into the room without making a sound.

The room was quite large, it was all painted a shade of sky blue and the ceiling was white and there was white carpet as well. There was a dresser, two couches, a foot rest, a desk, a chair, and a bed which were all white.

The bed wasn't to big it was a full. It had white covers but the sheet and the pillow case's were white with warm color stripes (AN: if you guys don't know what warm colors are they are normally red, yellow, and Orange) there were three pillows on the bed the two with stripes off on the sides and on the middle under them was another plain white pillow.

On the middle of the pillow in the middle of the bed, Natsu noticed, was a little bump. As he got closer he realized that it was the sleeping princess.

'She looks so peaceful' thought Natsu. He then decided to get a closer look, but couldn't when he noticed the edge of the bed was to high for him to see above.

As Natsu was about to leave he had a great idea 'I can just climb on her bed to get a better look at her' with that thought in his mind he ran for her bed and jumped as high as he could to get up on the bed.

When he laded on the bed he made sure he didn't disturb the princess. With a grin on his face for the success of getting on the bed he crawled over to the sleeping princess.

She looked so peaceful to him, with all facial features relaxed. 'she looked just as beautiful and relaxed as any princess should be' Natsu thought.

After about a half hour of sitting on the bed watching her he noticed that her facial features got all scrunched up as if she was having a nightmare.

Natsu got this odd tight feeling in his chest as he saw that. He then thought 'If only I could enter your dreams then I would fight off any nightmares that come to haunt you when you are in this delicate state'

Then Natsu decided that since he couldn't fight off the nightmares the least he could do was lay there with her and comfort her although she might hear or feel him.

Natsu gingerly got on his side facing the princess and then hugged her close to his body. As Natsu did that he saw all of her soft features relax almost instantly.

Natsu smiled to himself knowing that maybe he couldn't enter her dream to fight off the nightmares but at least he could stay with her through them.

Natsu ended up drifting to sleep like that.

~~ The Next Day ~~

When Igneel woke up he noticed that his son was missing. His first thought was that he was hungry so he went to the kitchen to see if Natsu was there when he wasn't Igneel started searching everywhere.

When Igneel searched all the places he thought Natsu could be he began to panic before he remembered he was a dragon and had a great sense of smell.

Igneel then followed Natsu's scent inside the castle and down the hallway where Natsu's and Skyler's room were. As Igneel stood in front of both rooms he turned his attention to the right which was where the princess's room was.

Igneel slowly opened the door and he was surprised to see a ball oh pink ~ahem~ salmon on the bed right next to the princess.

When Igneel's eyes adjusted he saw a very peaceful, sleeping, Natsu holding a peaceful princess tight to his chest. As he saw this he thought 'Natsu is holding her as if there was no tomorrow...HOLY SHIT I THINK MY THREE YEAR OLD, IDIOOTIC, DENSE SON JUST FOUND HIS MATE!'

Igneel was about to start dancing when he remembered where he was. 'Okay Igneel keep your cool. This is normal for every dragon and dragon slayer to have a mate and one day find her. Even if she happens to be the princess and he have to protect her from people who want to take her...OH MY GOSH NATSU ID GOING TO LOSE IT IF SOMEONE ELSE IS ABLE TO WAKE HER UP AND TAKE HER AWAY FROM HIM!'

Igneel then started to get worried thinking of all the damage his son could do if he got mad enough. 'It's okay, it will be okay...i just need to have a talk to him...yeah a talk that should work. That's what I'm suppose to do when things like this happen right? Well how much harm can Natsu really cause?'

Then Igneel started picturing towns burnt down, forests on fire, people screaming for help. 'Of course I have to picture the worst possible scenarios. Maybe he will be too dense to figure out his feelings for her.'

Hey Guys! I hope you liked it! I'm having so much fun writing it thinking as all the characters in the story would think. Please leave more review they are really inspiring! Well thank you for the support in my first fancic!
