Me and Natsu hung out in my room for the whole day. Well, he fixed the door first. We were lying on the bed, enjoying the silence, staring up at the ceiling while holding hands.

"Luce." Natsu suddenly spoke. I turned on my side to face him, and he did the same.
"Yeah?" I smiled. His facial expression turned sincere, and he looked like he was going to cry.

"I-I just want to let you know how much I love you Luce." He sighed. "After today, I have to leave you, and I don't want to."
"Oh, don't be a baby." I laughed. "We all know you can't sleep here, but I'll be here waiting for you tomorrow. Kay?"

He didn't answer. His eyes filled with an apologetic look, tears threatening to spill.

"You'll visit again, right?" I asked again, desperate for an answer. My smile faded, and my vision started to become cloudy.

Still no answer, but his silence spoke a thousand words.

"Y-you... Y-you're not l-l-leaving, right?" I whispered.
"I have to leave you." He repeated. At this point, tears were flowing down both our faces.
"L-L-Leave w-where?" I stuttered.

"Away from here." He replied. "I am a dragon without a contract, so every second I am in the human world I am breaking the dragon law. And if Sting, or anyone else, catches me here...

"He'll probably kill both of us."

There was a silence where we were wiping each other's tear-stained cheeks. No one spoke, we just lay there in silence.

"Take me with you." I suddenly blurted out. "I can't stand it here. Let's run away from all this. Run far, far away and live in that fairy tale we'd always dreamed of."

"I can't do that Luce." Natsu sighed. "I have to go back to the dragon world because my father is the King. As the prince, it would be un responsible and very disrespectful of me to just leave the kingdom for good. Humans can't survive in the dragon world for more than 48 hours, so if I took you with me, you'd die."

"Dying is better than the hell I'd have to endure without you." I cried.
"But I'd rather you stay alive here than die at my home. My job was to protect you, and if I took you with me, your death would be in my hands. You think I could live with that?"

He's right. I sure as hell couldn't live with that burden.

"J-just stay here a little longer." I whispered. He nodded, and I curled up into his arms.

And we drifted off to sleep...

That maid Yukino has been on my mind ever since I laid eyes on her. But, what was so special about her? I'm a married man, and Lucy is far prettier. She's just a maid.

Me and Lucy are married. It was fate. I love her, not that Yukino.

I was in the carriage on the way home, staring out the window. I was also thinking about what my mother and I were talking about.

"Okay then, I'll get straight to the point," My mother began. "I need a grandson from you."
"So you're expecting me to make one appear from mid air?" I retorted. I was feeling slightly motion sick from the journey, and was not in a good mood.

"No. I'm expecting you to make one appear in her womb." My mother replied.
"It's not as easy as you make it sound." I yelled back. "I can't exactly demand her to do something like that!"

There was a pause. But then she spoke up again.

"What happened to you Sting?" She sighed. "You're meant to be the dominant one in this relationship. I thought you had it all sorted. You'd finally gotten her to marry you, and the night of the celebration, you.."

I'd forgotten. She doesn't know.

"Do you know if she's pregnant?" My mother pursued.
"I don't think she is." I replied. I think we'd started to calm down now.

"Do you know how to tell?"
.
.
.
.
.
"No."

I still remember the stupid smile that appeared on her face when I said that. She teased me so much! Well, now I know everything.

Shortness of breath, fatigue, nausea, frequent urination, head and backaches, increased scent of smell, cramps, food cravings or aversions, bloating or constipation. She even told me about the stuff that's guys shouldn't have to think about, like.. You know... The period thing... And about the boobs...

GET OUT THE GUTTER.

Oh, I almost forgot about the dizziness or fainting. It's a good thing I didn't, my mother would've been so annoyed if I-

Hold on.

Fainting. Lucy fainted when I asked her about her virginity.

No way. It must've been a fluke. It's impossible. No chance in hell.

He didn't. He can't of.
.
.

.

He did. Didn't he?

THAT BASTARD!

When I woke up, I could hear a commotion outside. I peeked out the window and watched, as Natsu still slept silently on my bed.

A carriage raced into the courtyard, and out jumped Sting. He looked pissed as fuck. I watched as he pushed all the maids and butlers out of his way and burst through the doors of the house.

"Psst. Natsu!" I ran over and shook him awake. "Wake up! Sting is back!"
"Hmm?" Natsu replied, sleepily rubbing his eye. "What?"
"Hide! Quick!" I whisper-yelled, as I heard loud footsteps stomp up the stairs.

Natsu quickly hid under my bed again, as I sat on the edge of my bed and began reading a book.

He barged in through my bedroom door.
"Oh Sting," I smiled. "It's nice to see you back." He straight out ignored my comment, and headed straight for me.

He pinned me down on the bed, his face inches from mine. His breathing was heavy, and I could see the anger in his eyes.

"You!" He yelled in my face. "You're driving me insane!"
"W-Wha-" He interrupted me.
"Are you pregnant with Natsu's baby!?" He tightened his grip around my wrists, almost cutting off my blood supply.

"N-No. What are you on about?" I asked.
"Prove it to me." He spat back. "Have sex with me now and show me that you're not pregnant!"
"Are you insane!?" I cried out. "You can't force me to-"

"Why the fuck can't I!?" He cut me off. "YOU are MY wife. YOU belong to ME, and YOU will do as I say!"

He started to kiss and bite along my neck, leaving painful bruises as he went. He held up my hands with one of his hands, the other was taking off my dress.
"S-Sting!" I yelled. "Stop it!"

But then I felt my cheek come into contact with something. It pushed my head to the side, and left a burning, tingling sensation on my cheek.

He slapped me.

"Do NOT tell me what to do!" He ordered. Ignoring my pleads and continuing to strip me of my clothing.

I began to cry. I could feel my warm tears fall effortlessly down my cheek. I was now stripped down to my underwear, but I felt bare. Stripped of any pride or dignity I once had.

Then, out of nowhere, I saw a flash of pink.

It's Natsu.

He had charged into Sting, knocking him off me onto the ground. I looked up to see Natsu take out his anger on Sting, punching his face in, causing him to cough blood.

"GUARDS!!" Sting cried, and within no time, my room was surrounded with Sting's guards. Natsu was ripped off of Sting, put in handcuffs, and beaten with clubs until he stopped fighting back.

Both Sting and Natsu were beaten to the point that bruises, blood and even missing teeth were seen.

And all I did was sit there and watch. Like my usual, hopeless self.

"Take Natsu to the dungeon!" Sting yelled, maids were rushing in to clean him up and help him stand, while Natsu was being dragged off to the dungeons.

"As for you," He turned to face me, eyes burning with anger. "Put some clothes on and meet me in the infirmary."

I can't believe it.

Sting captured Natsu.
