Natsu's POV

I've been feeling weird lately. I looked around the guild to see if Gray was anywhere around I spotted him talking to Juvia by the bar

I suddenly felt the need to be near him. I watched as Juvia touched Grays arm I let out a low growl and took a step towards them.

Suddenly Gajeel stepped in front of me and pulled me by the arm.

"Hey let go" I demanded

"No can do Salamander" he said back dragging me up the stairs of the guild and pulling me into one of the rooms on the second floor.

He finally released my arm and I said angrily "Hey what the hell was that for?"

"You'll see in a minute just wait for the other two to get here" Gajeel replied

"Other two? What? What the hells going on here?" I demanded

"I said wait I'll explain when you're all here dammit." Gajeel said clearly irritated

"Just listen to him kid. He wouldn't tell me what's going on either" I spun around Laxus was in the room as well.

"What are you doing here?" I asked confused

"No idea same as you I guess" Laxus said shrugging.

A few minutes later somebody knocked on the door "come in" Gajeel said

In walked Sting and Rogue looking just as confused as me and Laxus. "Sit your dumbasses down" Gajeel growled but I knew he was actually glad to see Rogue.

I could tell by the way he ruffled his hair as he walked past earning himself a annoyed whine from Rogue.

Once they were seated Sting asked "Why are we here?"

"I'm about to tell you blondie so shut your mouth and let me talk." Gajeel snapped back

"Yes-s sorry" Sting stuttered clearly scared.

"You're all here for the same reason you four are all about to start experiencing Dragon Mating Season." Gajeel said

My jaw dropped "WHAT?!?!" I shouted but Laxus hit me on the head and spat "Shut up salamander"

Gajeel continued "It happens to all dragon slayers when both them and they're mate have reached maturity. Each of you has a mate and will want to mark your mate. But they're are a few symptoms every dragon slayer is different.

You will become:

More protective of your mate

Your powers will intensify if your mate is in danger

More emotional

But like I said before each dragon slayer is different and will experience different symptoms. Your mates will also experience some symptoms"

"Wait our mates have to suffer symptoms as well? Will it hurt them?" Laxus asked

"Shut up Sparky I'm getting to that" Gajeel snarled then continued "like I was saying your mate will experience symptoms as well but those are unknown but it will probably link to there dragon mates power. For example whatever iron thing Levy touched rusted.

I've already informed Master about all this and he suggests that Sting and Rogue stay here until Mating Seasons over. Is that okay with you two?" He asked Sting and Rogue

They looked at each other then nodded. Rogue had become even paler than usual and Sting was gripping onto his chair so hard I thought it might break.

"That's about it any questions?" Gajeel finished

"How come you don't have to go through this?" I asked irritated that Gajeel didn't have to suffer for the next couple of months like the rest of us.

"Because I've already found my mate so did Cobra"

"What about Wendy?" I asked worried for poor innocent little Wendy

"If you were listening Flame Brain I already told you that you have to reach a certain level of maturity for this to happen. Wendy's to young."

I nodded understanding "that's everything then you guys should probably go back downstairs before people start wandering what's happened" Gajeel said "Oh Ryos you can stay with me until it's over."

Rogue looked up at Gajeel and I saw Gajeel's otherwise tough face soften slightly as he saw the scared look on Rogues face "what about St-?" Rogue asked but I cut him off

"Sting can stay with me and happy."

I looked at Sting he nodded happily

"Come on then Ryos let's go tell Levy your staying with us" Gajeel said then dragged Rogue downstairs.

"Thanks Natsu" Sting said "no problem it will be fun having a roommate that's not obsessed with fish. Should we go then?" I asked

He nodded we stood up and prepared to leave.

"Yo Laxus you good?" I asked observing that the lighting dragon slayer had been quite most of the time and hadn't moved.

"Yeah I'm fine just thinking" Laxus grunted in response

I knew we were all thinking the same thing

This is gonna be a long couple of months.
