"So you're telling me..."
"Correct, Zeref is now a full member of Fairy Tail!"
Mirajane could hardly contain her excitement. Apparently, Zeref had enjoyed her magazine 'Grand Magic Shounen Ai' so much so that it taught him the true value of human life which was actually worth preserving, so he no longer wished to kill every single person on Earthland.
This had confused everyone to no end. Right now, Sting and Gray were being briefed on the situation. A while back, Sting had gone into hiding due to Lucy's wrath. When Gray had gone to find his whereabouts, they had both missed Zeref's appearance during the whole 'Auto-act Lacrima' incident.
"The love I saw in that magazine completely destroyed my killing resolve!" If you looked at Zeref now you would be able to see him surrounded by roses, with a pink aura which sparkled.
Gray's and Sting's jaws practically hit the table at hearing (and seeing) such a thing from the lord of death.
"But there was a condition," Mirajane spoke and held up Zeref's arm where a bright pink glowing band was wrapped around his wrist, "The Magic Council is only allowing this so long as Zeref stays within a 150 metre proximity to me."
"That is true," Zeref sighed, "but if it means that I get to do more work for your magazine then it is a price I am more than willing to pay for my freedom!" Sparkles were emitted.
"Zeref has been of great help to Grand Magic Shounen Ai's recent success!" Mirajane's smile almost reached her ears and her eyes were half lidded, "Last issue he even did centrefold!" Mirajane opened up the magazine to the centre two pages to proudly display Zeref's photo-shoot.
[Fairy Tail Sound Effect – 'Wow!']
"Mira, that swimsuit leaves nothing to the imagination!" Gray blurted out.
"Mirajane-san, how is that even legal?" Sting's voice was full of hesitant worry as he fiddled with his glass.
Mirajane waved them off with a dramatic hand gesture, "That's besides the point! Who would've known that Zeref was hiding such a 'nice body' [she said this like Taurus] under all that loose clothing?"
Zeref looked away from everyone to hide the blush spreading across his cheeks, "Mira-san, you're embarrassing me!"
"You can't be serious..." Gray muttered. This was definitely not the same melancholy and uncontrollable presence whom Natsu had described after Tenroujima. This was just... too weird.
Suddenly Gray was tackled out of nowhere by a fast moving blur. "Daddy!" The air was taken out of Gray and he could not breathe for he was being hugged too tightly.
"Yui-chan! You're strangling your father!" Sting rushed to Gray's side. The so-called 'Yui' looked down at the tackled Gray and then back to Sting. She had long black hair and large cobalt eyes; she was wearing a white dress and appeared to be of around seven years of age.
The girl made her decision on whether to release Gray or not. She did so but moved on to her next target.
"Daddy!" She shouted while an unsuspecting Sting was thrown to the floor.
"Okay, now it's my turn to be confused," Mirajane hummed curiously.
Gray got up, dusted his clothes—only to find he wasn't wearing any—and decided to explain the story to Mirajane and Zeref. "Well, it goes like this... Sting and I decided that we needed a break from everyone so we hired a lakeside cabin for the weekend –"
He was cut off by Mirajane, "Kya! That's so romantic!" she squealed, but then realisation dawned upon her, "what did you mean by you needed a break from everyone?"
For once, Gray ignored the underlying threatening tone and carried on with his story; all the while Sting was being clambered on—as if he was some sort of toy—by an over-excited little girl. "Anyway, moving on..."
Flashback...
The sunset is actually pretty beautiful. Yes, those were the thoughts that were circulating Gray Fullbuster's mind on this particular evening. But who could blame him? It really was true; the warm rays peeked over the hills and bathed the forested landscaped in glorious shades of orange and—much to Gray's annoyance—splayed across Sting's face in such a way that made him look... angelic. His blonde hair went ridiculously well with the scene and, as if flaunting it, Sting pushed back the messy golden spikes and blew air up just when his fringe had flopped back down.
Sting seriously had to stop it. He just looked... too good, in Gray's opinion.
Why that would bother Gray you may ask? Well, as of now, they had been walking through the forest in complete silence. Gray knew that he wasn't exactly the most romantic of people—far from it in fact, he was no Trimens or Loke—and currently he was at risk of accidentally voicing his dumb thoughts to the complete bastard who had somehow ended up as his lover.
The Dragon slayer once again blew his fringe off his forehead and Gray could take it no longer.
"Sting, seriously stop it!" he snapped.
Sting regarded Gray with a look of curiosity but his reaction soon changed to one of mischief. His lips pulled into a cocky grin as he replied, "or what?" He teased.
Gray clenched a fist. He sincerely wished to wipe that annoying expression off of Sting's oh-so-good-looking face.
"Gray!" Sting freaked out when he suddenly found himself pushed against and subsequently pinned to a tree just off the forest trail. Gray's knee slid teasingly up between Sting's legs, just enough to stir something within the Dragon slayer. Something which left him longing for more.
"Or this happens..." Gray pushed his hands firmer against Sting's shoulders as the icy cold breath tickled the blonde's ear. Sting's eyes fluttered half closed and he tilted his head back invitingly.
Gray did not pass up on the opportunity presented to him; he eagerly trailed a series of sloppy wet kisses down Sting's neck towards his collar.
"Gray..." Sting moaned, his breathing ragged by now. He decided he'd had enough of all the teasing so he grabbed a fistful of Gray's black locks and crashed their lips together. Gray was at first shocked by the sudden outburst but was immediately reciprocating Sting's passion. The ice mage bit slightly at Sting's bottom lip as if asking for entrance which was swiftly granted by the other, who just couldn't get enough of Gray's icy mouth over his.
Gray's tongue dived into the warm cavern as he felt his way around. The sensation was amazing, like an ice-lolly, and Sting very much enjoyed it but he wasn't about to let Gray dominate him like he'd been trying so very hard to do after the whole biting thing (Gray still had a very prominent scar which showed even when he wasn't stripping.)
So Sting fought back, and the two continued to clash for dominance for quite some time, only pulling back for the bare minimum of oxygen needed. One of such times, Gray lifted his head away, leaving a thin trail of saliva while they both took deep lungfuls of air. Gray's dark-blue eyes were clouded with lust at seeing the prideful blonde mage pinned against a tree in front of him.
More, he needed more.
Sting tried to protest when he felt one of Gray's hands touch his stomach while the other was occupied with undoing his belt but before he could say a word he had resorted to clawing at the bark of the tree, causing deep scratch marks. Gray's hand had gone below belt line and Sting fought against the new intense pleasure welling but it was to no avail; Gray's hand was just too skilled.
However, just when he felt his climax approaching he noticed something in the corner of his vision. Gray, at seeing the new distraction in the pale-blue eyes—and the desire leave them—ceased his relentless assault on the blonde's body.
"What is it?" Gray asked, tone full of dejection.
Sting pulled up his trousers and buckled his belt back up as he took a step away from his spot. Gray—still not having gotten an answer—decided that the best course of action was to follow.
Still, "What did you see?"
This time, Sting decided to grace him with an answer, "it's not like I wanted to walk away from that..." His face was dusted with a slight blush which he tried to suppress—only succeeding in making it worse—as he continued explaining, "I was about to –" Sting cut himself off due to embarrassment. "I saw something moving over there." His footsteps made crunching noises as stepped on the twig strewn forest floor. He slowed his pace to avoid detection but more so because walking was still slightly awkward.
Gray gasped and pointed with wide eyes.
"Oh my goodness!" Sting covered his mouth as he saw what Gray was pointing at.
Flashback ends...
"Wait why did you just tell us that? It was basically just a make-out scene with a tiny bit of cliffhanger plot at the end." Zeref was confused.
"Yeah especially that part about what Gray was doing to me..." Sting was embarrassed.
"I'm glad I didn't go with them..." Lector—who had previously been left out—finally said something.
"But it was definitely necessary; the author was previously yet to include such a long, detailed make-out scene," Mirajane helpfully informed.
"Author?" Zeref was still confused; the only author he could see around was himself.
"Ahem!" Gray coughed, "back to the topic?" By now, Yui had settled down and was eating a plate of food which Mirajane had magically procured during the flashback.
"Oh yeah," Mirajane remembered. She had been distracted when Gray was talking about his passionate session with Sting – this was all excellent inspiration for future issues.
Sting decided to tell the rest since Gray might accidentally inform everyone of more inappropriate things. "When Yui-chan saw us we found out that she'd lost all memories and seems to think that we're both her daddies." Sting paused and ruffled Yui's dark hair, "and who could blame us for taking her in when she's just so cute!" Mirajane had hearts pouring out of her eyes. "Well anyway, we've been looking after her for the past week."
"Daddy, can you get me some tabasco sauce please?"
Gray—who had conveniently been drinking a cup of coffee—spat it all out. This was much to Zeref's dismay. His brand new, fashionable clothes selected by Mirajane herself were now soaked and stained with the brown liquid. "Why would you want such a thing?" Gray asked.
"Daddy let me try it and it was delicious! I love spicy food!"
Gray instantly turned to Sting in anger, "you gave her tabasco?"
"What? Of course not!" Sting did not like the accusatory tone.
"Then who..." Gray was cut off by the crash of the guild doors being kicked open.
"WE'RE BACK!"
Natsu. He was followed by three other figures: Rogue, Happy and Frosche.
"Boisterous as always," came the shadow Dragon slayer's bored as usual voice.
"Daddy!" As soon as Yui saw the pink-haired man she dived on him in another one of her bone crushing hugs.
Sting cracked his knuckles and strode over to where Rogue was standing, "Rogue you better have a good reason for this..."
Gray did something similar; he lifted up Natsu by the collar and got intimidatingly close to his face. "Yeah, flame-brain you better have a good excuse for what's going on here..."
"Daddies, stop fighting!" Yui placed herself between the warring couples.
"Huh?" It was Sting's turn to be confused.
"If everyone could just calm down, I would explain," Rogue rolled his eyes and flicked his cape back. "You two completely neglected Yui-chan when you left for some love hotel last night so Natsu and I took her out for a meal."
"So you're trying to steal her from us?" Gray spat.
"As if you would know how to take care of a kid stupid droopy eyes!" Natsu retalliated.
"You wanna go fire bastard?"
Natsu was suddenly pulled back from his imminent brawl with Gray. "Natsu, this fight bores me; we should just ask them what we originally planned to."
"Oh yeah..." Natsu recalled something, "If it's all right, we'd like to take care of Yui-chan for the next week."
"Aye!" Happy input, "she could be my little sister!" Yui looked excited at this prospect.
"Fro thinks so too."
"What!?" Sting shouted. "Why would we let you do that?"
Something that everyone had failed to notice during their spat was the appearance of someone else. The short old man stood atop the table nearby the scene which was attracting more attention then the participants had realised. They continued fighting, unaware of his presence as he sipped a mug of ale.
That was all before, "Quiet brats!" he bellowed, gaining the deserved attention.
"oh, hi Jii-chan!" greeted Natsu.
"Natsu!" The guild master was still bellowing, "who is this child?"
"I'm Yui!" she responded in Natsu's place and sat herself next to Makarov on the table.
"And do you have any magic abilities little girl?"
"Yes," she demonstrated by transforming into a pixie about the size of one's hand. "I call it Takeover: Pixie Soul!" she exclaimed.
"A real Fairy..." Makarov mused.
"In this form I can access any information about an area!" Yui explained.
"Really? Would you like to join the guild?"
Yui nodded expressively, "yes! I could get to be with my daddies more! You could be my granddad!"
"Where would you like your guildmark?" Mirajane asked, holding out the magic guild stamp.
"Hmm..."
"You'll have it on your right shoulder just like your daddy, right Yui-chan?" Natsu pointed out his own guildmark.
"No, left shoulder just like your real daddy," was Sting's suggestion. After which the two got themselves into a grappling brawl which escalated with a series of punches and kicks and then even more when they began firing off spells.
Yui remained not phased by her parental figures fighting. "I'd like it on my leg like you Mira-san!" Mirajane placed her hand over her chest with a silent expression of 'Aww' and proceeded to stamp Yui in the desired location.
Suddenly, the ongoing brawl was crushed by Makarov's titan form fist. "Settle down!" the guildmaster shouted. "I believe the most logical solution to this problem is a time-share of Yui. Since Sting and Gray had her last week then this week Rogue and Natsu will be taking her in."
"All right!" Natsu pumped his fist in triumph. Rogue sweatdropped at the hyperactivity.
One Week Later...
Natsu sat veering on the edge of his bed. Today was the last day that he and Rogue had with Yui and they'd promised to take her to the theme park. This was a stupid decision on their behalf because they'd had to spend a fortune in acquiring some potent anti-sickness medicine.
But anyway, back to the scene at hand, Natsu was patiently (or otherwise) waiting for Rogue to finish in the shower. He sure as hell wasn't expecting to be greeted with such a sight when the shower door opened nor did he expect to stand up in a daze.
Rogue stood calmly by the opened door as steam billowed out of the bathroom. His jet black hair was slicked down with water, and every now and again a droplet would make its way down his forehead, around the contours of his high jawbones and onto his pale chest. It was almost hypnotising. Natsu unashamedly stared at the tight pectorals and defined abdomen of the man who had brought him so much pleasure. The only man to have given Natsu such thoughts as...
Delicious. Yep, Natsu clearly wasn't thinking straight. In fairness, how could he be when Rogue was only wearing a tiny white towel which was sitting teasingly low on his waist, drawing Natsu's gaze down to... The fire mage subconsciously licked his lips at the display Rogue was so obviously giving him.
Rogue pulled a very rare smirk due to his blatant seduction working on the typically idiotic and childish Dragon slayer who had been reduced to a quivering mess before him.
Natsu shuddered when he felt Rogue's strong arms pull him from behind into a tight embrace while the hot breath on his nape had his nerves fully stimulated. Rogue had his full attention and Natsu was acutely aware of every tiny movement made by the other. Not wasting any time, desperate hands were tugging at the fabric around his neck and pulling down his open vest.
The pink-haired man let out a gasp at the new sensation of the skin of his back touching Rogue's bare chest and also the tell-tale hardness prodding against his thigh through the towel. In one word, Rogue would describe Natsu as... adorable. He was the only one to see this side of Natsu and knowing this did wonders to his ego.
Rogue barely gave Natsu any time to think as he was instantly nibbling at the newly exposed flesh, leaving marks here and there. He had to make everyone know that Natsu was his, and his alone. The hands roamed up and down Natsu's torso trying to grab hold of anything and everything the man had to offer. Natsu whimpered and hearing this was the fuel Rogue needed for his pace to get faster and faster, until...
"Ahhhh!" A girlish shriek came from the doorway, "why are you eating my other daddy!?" Yui screamed.
Rogue tensed up and he could feel Natsu doing the same. If Rogue could describe the situation in word he would describe it as... awkward. He instantly reverted back to his quiet, reserved personality.
If Natsu could describe the situation in one word he would describe it as... infuriating. His knees were shaky from all the intense yet unresolved desires instilled in him by the now embarrassed shadow Dragon slayer. He did not show this though and instead redressed himself before walking over to assure Yui that he was okay.
The Next Day...
"Gray have you seen Yui-chan?" Rogue asked calmly. Natsu was not so calm, he was racing around frantically while Happy and Frosche soared through the skies.
"Hmm?" Gray looked up, "I thought that you still had her even though you were supposed to hand her over to us yesterday."
"Oh shit..." Rogue murmured in a rare expression of worry.
"What are you all worked up about?" Mirajane had suddenly appeared and she was holding Yui's right hand while Zeref took the other. The demon was still dressed in the white fur coat while Zeref had moved on to black skinny jeans and a burgundy shirt with the top few buttons undone, exposing the pale skin of his chest. Yui was still wearing her white dress. The three almost looked like a very weird family but that was simply insane.
"Yui-chan!" Natsu skidded to a halt in front of the new appearance while Frosche, Happy and now Lector swooped in.
"When did you find her?" Sting—who had also appeared—asked.
"Oh, Zeref and I have had her since yesterday! She was instrumental to the success of the latest issue of Grand Magic Shounen Ai!"
"What do you mean..?" Sting gulped. There was no way this could possibly be a good thing.
In response, Mirajane pointed out the issue. Lisanna appeared to be deep in the glossy magazine, leaving the title of the focus article on display. Sting instantly snatched the magazine away from the now upset girl.
All four men paled in fear (if this was an anime they would have lost their colouring.) For the title was:
"I have four daddies"
Sting's suspicions were confirmed.
Sting, Gray, Rogue and Natsu later learned that Zeref and Mirajane had interviewed Yui while the others were unsuspecting. The feature length article contained vivid descriptions of Yui's observations about them, leaving absolutely no details untouched. If Natsu could sum up the situation in one statement/question, he would say:
"YUI WAS A SPY!?"
To which Zeref would reply, "your fault for not being careful enough in the presence of a child."
It wasn't Natsu's fault that Yui could take on a very easy to hide form and was acting on specific orders from Mirajane.

- End of Chapter 3 -
…
Hmm, just where do I get my inspiration? Bonus points if you know where Yui is from... if you do just don't ask why...
Now, next chapter-wise. I have some definite options for fanfiction parodies. These are: 1) Neko potion/spell, 2) Maid Café, 3) Gender Bender, 4) Implications behind closed doors, and 5) Ill/sick
Special 6th option: Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi crossover chapters which was basically what Zeref was speaking about. These would not follow the subplot.
Well, thanks for reading I guess. This time I would particularly appreciate feedback because erm... certain scenes were significantly racy compared to anything I have previously written. So I'm SORRY if they were no good and for them both being interrupted by Yui. Perhaps when I become even more confident I can write further.
I guess my writing style for this story could now be described as this: descriptive in narrative parts but decidedly vague in conversations during which most of the shocking revelations take place, leaving some details to the imagination. Does it work for you?
Also the questions from last chapter still apply. Originally I thought that I would prefer writing StingRay but I'm actually really enjoying writing the RoTsu as well... their personalities are just so different that it works and is certainly 'refreshing' compared to the typical rivalry relationship that is GraTsu. I have literally made myself like this pairing; originally it was just a crack plot device. The only part that wasn't crack was the fact that he was the only Sabertooth member during the GMG who wasn't a jerk. Now I've moved RoTsu from my 'approved' pairings list to 'to my taste'...
Also just in case you were wondering I most likely will NOT be putting in Mira x Zeref. Not that I have anything against it; it is certainly the type of crack which I enjoy but I'm severely against pairing up all of the characters.
