• (Lucy's POV) •

So, we're in the middle of a truth or dare game, and it's Sting's turn next.

"Natsu, truth or dare." Sting asked.
"Dare." He stated.
"Stop looking at Lucy like you're gonna eat her." Sting growled.
"Aww, is the little white dragon jealous?" Natsu smirked.
"In your dreams you pyro." Sting huffed. "It was a dare, so you have to."
"But she just looks so.... delicious." Natsu grinned.
"Uhh, guys." I interrupted. "I am here, and I don't think I should be listening to-mmpphh...."

Natsu had covered my mouth with his hand. Teme.

"In fact, I might just devour her now." Natsu's eyes were turning red, and his teeth were growing into sharp fangs.
"Mmmmpphhhh!!" I murmured.
"Dude, get off her!" Sting shouted. "That's harassment!"
"Shut up brat!" Natsu retorted, baring his fangs at Sting before turning back to me. "A dragon's gotta eat."
"A dragon must also never harm his master!" A voice yelled from the door.

I recognise that voice.

"Vuuurrrgguuu!!" I cried, wriggling underneath Natsu, who had now climbed on top of me.
"Don't worry princess, I'll save you." Virgo cried, throwing herself onto the bed to tackle Natsu, along with Sting.

"What's going on in he-"

Oh no. It was mother. She stared blankly at the four of us on the bed:

I was at the bottom, my mouth being covered by Natsu's hand and my legs had been separated.

Virgo was straddling Natsu like she was riding a horse as he knelt over me, she had Natsu in a headlock and she leant her whole body onto Natsu's back.

Sting had gone under Natsu to try push him off of me. He was sat in between my legs with his back facing me, pushing Natsu's stomach with his arms.

Who knows what my mother was thinking.

"V-Virgo." My mother stuttered. "Could you please allocate the boys to their own rooms?"
"O-of course Ma'am." Virgo replied, getting off the pile of people.

"Sting." Virgo said. "Underwear please." Sting pointed to the chair in the corner that had Virgo's panties on it, his face a bright red.

Natsu's eyes had gone back to normal, and he stated at me in shock when he realised what was going on. Jeez, this is awkward.

"I knew this would happen soon." My mother sighed. "Boys! Follow Virgo!" They got up and left me and my mother in my bedroom.

"Do you know why he's doing this, Lucy?" My mother asked.
"D-dragon Mating Season?" I questioned.
"Yes," She sighed. "And there's nothing we can do about it."
"What are we going to do?" I asked her. "He'll die if we just leave him."
"Well, he's not having you." My mother scolded.

There was a pause.
"Maybe I can hire someone for him." She suggested.
"You mean, like a pros-"
"Yes, I do." She huffed. "It's the only way he won't die."

"But he's never stoop that low, would he?" I asked, a hint of fear rising in my voice.

"We don't know how far dragons will go to save their own lives."

And then she walked off.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

I was walking home from school with Levy, Juvia, Sting and Natsu, but we were struggling to think of something to talk about. It was now Friday, and the week had been pretty uneventful, besides what happened when Sting stayed the night.

"S-so...." I sighed.
"Hey, the ball's tonight." Levy smiled.
"Has everyone got a date?" Sting asked.
"Yep." We all replied.

~ that morning ~

"Lucy, I need to talk to you," My mother ordered.

"Today, Sting will ask you to go to the ball with him, and you'll say yes. Understood?"
"But what if I-" I was interrupted.
"Tough luck." She stated. "I promised Mrs. Eucliffe that you would go with Sting, so you're going."
"Yes mother." I sighed.

~ end ~

"Alright then, this is our stop." Natsu said, looking at me.
"I'll see you all later." I smiled.
"How does six o'clock sound?" Sting asked.
"That's fine," I smiled. "See you then."

• (Natsu's POV) •

I sat in Luce's room as she was putting makeup on her face. It was 5:40pm, and Sting would be here in 20 minutes.

Luce was wearing a pink dress that was light pink at the bottom and dark pink at the top. She wore a white sash around her waist and light pink frills decorated the edges of the sleeves and dress. She wore her hair up in a bun, and a rose was placed in there too.

Basically, she looked beautiful.

And she has to go out with Sting.

"Natsu," Luce turned round. "How do I look?"
"Stunning." I smiled standing up.
"Are you coming too?" She asked my walking over.
"Of course," I smirked. "I'm not leaving you alone with him."

"Okay then." She smiled, hugging me. "But I think you might have to go with my mother, since I'll be travelling with Sting."
"Do you have to?" I whined.
"Well, I'd rather the three of us went together, but if you want, you can talk to my mother about it."
"Never mind." I sighed into Luce's shoulder.

• (Lucy's POV) •

"Princess!" Virgo yelled. "Master Sting is here."
"I'll see you later." I smiled, about to walk away. Natsu grabbed my by the waist and pulled me in for a deep kiss.

I stood in shock for a moment, my eyes wide, but then I sighed and melted into the kiss. Natsu licked my bottom lip and his tongue entered my mouth, searching every corner.

His hand trailed to the strap on my dress, slowly sliding it down.
"PRINCESS!?" Virgo shouted. I broke the kiss and pulled my strap back up.
"Sorry Natsu, I have to go." I said, walking off.

"Stay safe." I heard him say.
