Chapter 2
"Mh... Hmm..." As the warm, bright light that was the afternoon Sun began to envelop Natsu's room, a certain familiar redhead began to murmur in her sleep. Erza reached out her hands to the other side of the bed, but after having not felt the comforting warmth that was Natsu Dragneel, her eyes opened and her head lifted as she saw that her boyfriend Natsu was no longer in the bed with her. "Natsu...?" She then sat up and looked around the room to find that Natsu was nowhere near. Erza swung her feet out from the bed and quickly made her way to the door, opening it quickly to see Natsu on the other side.
"O-Oh! Good morning, Erza! I was hoping to surprise you with breakfast in bed." The salmon-haired man chuckled as he held a plate of freshly-cooked waffles, eggs, and sausage. "H-Here, I'll set it down so you can eat!" As Natsu placed the plate on the bed, he stood up and turned to walk away but was stopped as Erza stood in the doorway.
"Just where do you think you're going, Natsu?" Erza spoke sternly as she glared at the Fire Dragonslayer.
"I-I was just gonna give you some space to eat is all!"
"Well, too bad, you're not going away. You'll stay right here with me." Erza's glare hardened as she stepped closer to Natsu, making the man gulp and sweat.
"Then, can you at least put some clothes on? I-I can see anything you know..." Natsu blushed as he attempted to cover his eyes from seeing Erza in her whole naked luscious glory.
Erza looked down at her body and then looked up at Natsu with a small but cute pout as she folded her arms under her large breasts. "You didn't have a problem with seeing me in that bunny outfit last night... Is my naked body too appalling to look at?"
Natsu's eyes widened at that, and he quickly grabbed the redhead's shoulder. "You're incredibly beautiful and sexy, Erza! Outfit or not, I'd be happy to have sex with you again!" Natsu blushed heavily as he backed away from Erza. "It's... It's just that I don't want you to think I'm only physically attracted to you..."
Erza smiled warmly at Natsu, she walked over to him and held his hands as she kissed him. "I know you love me, but you needn't hold back your lust toward me, Natsu. It's quite flattering knowing that you love all of me. Thank you, Natsu."
Natsu smiled. "Anytime, Erza. So could you please put some clothes on before I take you again? We just finished a few hours ago after all."
Erza laughed as she let go of Natsu's hands. "Oh alright, alright. REQUIP!" A bright yellow light shone around Erza and as it dissipated, the redhead stood in front of Natsu wearing her usual white blouse and blue skirt. She then sat on the bed, placed the plate of breakfast on her lap, and began eating. Erza placed a hand on her cheek as she hummed happily while eating. "Natsu, I haven't had breakfast this good in some time! How come I've never had your cooking before?"
"Probably because you guys think I burn everything I eat." Natsu chuckled as he sat down with Erza. "As you see, I'm more capable of doing more than you thought."
"You're right, I sincerely apologize for the assumption. Please hit me as punishment." Erza bowed her head toward the Fire Dragonslayer.
Natsu frowned then placed a hand on Erza's shoulder, making the redheaded knight look up at him. "Erza, it's fine. I don't take any offense, you enjoying my food is thanks enough." Natsu smiled widely and warmly. "So, please enjoy your breakfast. After all, a boyfriend needs to make his girlfriend happy right?"
Erza's eyes widened before they shone as she smiled. "Indeed you do and just remember I'm here to make you smile as well."
"I know and I know that you will. I love you, Erza."
"I love you too, Natsu." And with that, Erza sighed happily as she ate the scrumptious breakfast, humming in delight which caused Natsu to smile and chuckle.
As both Natsu and Erza walked through the guild doors, a familiar winged blue cat flew toward the Fire Dragonslayer. "NATSU!" The young cat flew into Natsu's chest and his eyes began watering. "You're OK!"
"Of course, I am, little buddy. I had Erza with me the whole time." Natsu smiled as he held Happy close.
"Yeah, but she could have made you over-exert yourself or she might have been rough with you. You know how she is!"
"Happy..." The blue cat flinch and began quivering in fear as he heard the venom-drenched voice of Erza Scarlet. She stepped behind Natsu and glared at the cat as she spoke in an intimidating cold tone. "Are you saying I'm inadequate at taking care of my comrades? Maybe I should take care of you... After I beat some sense into you..."
As Happy shook in fear, Natsu placed the cat on a table before turning around to look at Erza, sighing as he chuckled. He then stepped closer to the redhead and pecked her lips with his, causing Erza to snap out of her intimidating daze. "Erza, relax, Happy didn't mean it like that. I'm here now, happy and healthy so nothing wrong with getting teased right?"
Erza pouted as she crossed her arms. "Well, if we'll be moving in together soon, I want everyone to know that you'll be safe with me. I'm not going to try and kill my boyfriend."
"I know, I know. Well, I'm pretty sure that everyone can vouch for you, right guys?" As Natsu turned around to face the entirety of the guild, everyone just stood in place with wide eyes. The guild hall was filled with nothing but silence, making Natsu and Erza tilt their heads in confusion. "Everyone... Is everything OK?"
After a few moments of silence, Gray stood up. "Natsu... Do you just realize what you just called Erza?"
"Yeah... Erza's my girlfriend and I'm her boyfriend. That is what happens when you confess to someone, Ice block!" Natsu then turned his head toward Erza. "That is what happens right?" Erza giggled but nodded.
Gray's eyes widened as the information sank in. "Uh-huh..." The ice mage then backed up and fell on his back as he passed out. Happy, Lucy and a few others followed behind him, making Natsu flinch from shock.
"GRAY! LUCY! HAPPY!" Natsu shouted as he ran toward his passed-out companions. As he shook his friends, a tall muscular man with face piercing and long spiky hair began snickering. "The hell, Gajeel?! This isn't funny!"
Gajeel smirked as he leaned on the stairway railing. "So you finally hooked up with Titania, about damn time. I can laugh because I'm happy, you two kept your distance for so long that it was so aggravating to watch. Good on ya, Salamander!" Gajeel gave Natsu a thumbs-up.
Natsu furrowed his brow. "You knew this whole time I had a crush on Erza?!"
"Dumbass, I'm a Dragonslayer too." Gajeel stood up. "I can read scents too. Oh, and by the way," He then knelt down to whisper in Natsu's ear. "Next time, you two go at it like rabbits, you should probably take a long shower. I can still smell the heavy scent of sex on you two."
Natsu blushed heavily as he began stammering. "J-Just help me get everyone in the infirmary!"
Gajeel laughed boisterously at Natsu's shyness. "Aye, aye sir!"
"Well, I for one am happy for you two, Natsu and Erza." Lucy smiled warmly as she stood up from the infirmary bed. "You just threw a bombshell like that so you gotta forgive us for being shocked!"
Natsu chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. "Right, sorry. I guess I'm just happy that I don't have to hide my love anymore."
Lucy smiled. "As you shouldn't! You two deserve to be as affectionate as you wish!" She then placed a finger on her chin as she thought about the rock from yesterday. "But first we gotta figure out what exactly happened yesterday."
Erza stepped closer as she crossed her arms. "I agree, just what exactly happened to you yesterday, Natsu? One moment, you come back from a job, feeling unwell then get into a fight and seemed to overpower Elfman. What happened on yesterday's job?"
Natsu crossed his arms as he sighed. "It's because of that weird rock I got as a reward."
Erza raised an eyebrow. "Weird rock? Just exactly was this weird rock?"
Happy jumped in the air, flying toward Erza with a photo of the igneous rock from yesterday. "This rock, Erza. According to Lucy, it was supposed to be a really hot rock but it was cold to the touch. It felt like holding an ice cube."
"And we're sure that you two didn't get cheated with just a piece of coal or a regular stone?" Erza tilted her head while her eyebrow was still raised.
Natsu rubbed his neck as he chuckled. "That's what we thought too until the rock fused with me?"
"IT WHAT?!" Erza shrieked and flinched.
"Yeah, I held it in my hand as we made it back to Magnolia. Supposedly, it kept shrinking and it eventually sunk into my skin and fused with me." Natsu's eyes widened as Erza grabbed his vest and swiftly opened it, exposing his bare torso to everyone in the room. "E-ERZA! What are you doing?!"
"Examining you that's what! We don't know what the stone has done to you! I need a full body examination of you! Why didn't you say anything sooner, Natsu?!"
"Well, because I want to make sure that the effect was accurate every time."
"Accurate every time?" Erza questioned as she stood up. "Are you saying you figured out the effects?!"
"Yeah! It made me able to control time!" Natsu spoke with a determined glint but flinched as he hear Erza sigh.
"Natsu, please be serious for once..."
"But I am! Here watch!" Natsu then clasped his hands together and everything as well as everyone froze in place, making the entire world stay still in this frozen time. As Natsu stood there, he turned to look at Erza to speak but stopped. 'Right... Forgot she won't be able to move unless I touch her first. Then, how will I?' Natsu perked up as he thought of something. He then walked toward Happy and pulled out the fish the cat was eating before placing the fish in Gray's pants. After he placed the fish inside, Natsu walked back in front of Erza, clapping his hands once again, signaling for time to move normally once more.
"Honestly, Natsu. How would a rock give you time-control powers?"
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Gray yelled as he pulled out the half-eaten fish from his jeans. "HAPPY! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU PUT YOUR FISH IN MY PANTS?!"
"WHY WOULD YOU PUT MY FISH IN YOUR PANTS?!" Happy shrieked as he pointed his paw at Gray. "PERVERT STRIPPER!"
"See?" Natsu chuckled as he pointed at the two, making Erza's eyes widen at this. "It happens whenever I clap my hands or snap my fingers, if I use it too much, I get a massive headache. Weird I know."
"It's actually rare, Natsu." The Fire Dragonslayer and everyone inside the infirmary turned their heads toward the entrance to see a short guy with wavy blue hair standing there with a book. "What you picked up was a super rare Time Lacrima. It's a type of Lacrima, similar to a Dragonslayer Lacrima. The worst thing to happen would be being severely poisoned or dealing with great physical backlash. Although the fusion process for a Time Lacrima is much harder than a Dragonslayer Lacrima, it would seem it worked out well for you."
"Levy, what should we do now?" Erza turned toward the blue-haired girl with much concern in her voice. "Is there anything we can do now?"
Levy shook her head as she held the book. "As of right now, I would say Natsu needs to be monitored and has to do training to get his body assimilated to the stone. The last thing we want is for more negative effects to come out."
"So, no missions?" Natsu groaned as he crossed his arms. "Damn, this sucks!"
Erza turned to face Natsu, holding his hands firmly with her own. "Natsu, please. I don't want anything worse to happen to you. We'll go on missions together but promise me you won't go on any by yourself until we get this sorted out."
"But, Erza!"
"Natsu, please!"
Natsu gulped as he saw Erza's worried-filled expression so he sighed and nodded his head. "Alright, alright, I promise not to go on missions by myself. You have my word."
Erza smiled as she hugged Natsu. "Thank you and I swear we'll work this thing out, we'll do our own training as well. We start tomorrow, for now, I will gather my things from Fairy Hills to move into your house."
Natsu began chuckling. "Right, right. Then, I'll get my house ready. We'll take on this challenge together."
"Indeed we will."
