• (Lucy's POV) •

"Sting!?" I yelled.
"Nice to see you too, Lucy." He retorted sarcastically.
"What's he doing here?" Natsu spat, staring daggers at Sting from behind where I stood.
"I came to apologise about this afternoon," he began. "I wasn't my day; I'd just failed my science exam and I was stressed. I'm sorry for taking my anger out on you."

"Oh yeah?" Natsu started. "Well I think it's a bit fucking late for that you little shi-" I interupted him, putting out my arm so he couldn't get any closer.
"Natsu!" I hissed. "He's apologising."
"I don't trust him." He whispered in reply, which I ignored.

"I accept your apology," I turned my attention back to Sting. "You are forgiven."
"It better not happen again you fu-" Once again, I interupted Natsu.
"Natsu!" I scolded. Sting chuckled at this and I heard Natsu scowl.

"Anyway, I best be off." Sting said. "I'll be round tomorrow anyway."
"You best go die in a ditch..." I heard Natsu mutter to himself, causing me to hit him in the stomach. I don't think Sting heard him though...
"I'll see you tomorrow." I said, walking him to the door.

Once he left I slammed the door, leaning back against it and sighing.
"Oh I don't know how I'm going to survive at my party with you being spiteful like that. I could tell Sting was agitated, but he was being a gentleman and not retaliating because my mother was there. If it was somewhere else I would've had a riot on my hands..." I said.
"Well he should stop being such a dick to you then." Natsu huffed.
"Shhhh!" I yelled. "My mother's in there!"

"I'm going to my room to do my homework." I said, walking up the stairs, Natsu following obediently. I opened the door and walked into my room, grabbing my bag and placing it on the bed.

"Hey, Natsu," I began, hearing the sound of my bedroom door closing. "Have you seen my ruler? I can't fi-" I paused when I felt Natsu's arms slowly snake around my waist.

"N-Natsu?" I stuttered, feeling the blood rise to my cheeks. Then he leant his head on my shoulder.
"You smell nice," he said seductively, gently pulling me closer. "Like vanilla and strawberries." Trying to wriggle out of his grip was impossible; he just held on tighter.

"C'mon Luce, I thought you loved me." He smirked. I turned round to look in his eyes, but they were red. Red? Natsu has onyx eyes.
"Natsu, are you okay?" I asked. Suddenly, he shook his head vigorously, and when he stopped his eyes were normal again.

His eyes widened in shock, as his cheeks began to flush a light shade of pink. He immediately let go, stepping back and placing his hands on his head anxiously.
"O-oh, uhh..." He stuttered.

"Your eyes were red a second ago.." I pointed out, getting straight to the point. The reaction I received wasn't one I was expecting.
"Don't tell me it's already started..." He muttered to himself in disbelief.
"What's started?" I asked. He's really creeping me out right now.

"Dragon Mating Season."
