Chapter 7: Magic Council

**Era**

In the council where all magical politic is governed, ten councilmen are now having a meeting about the recent defeat of the Dark Guild Eisenwald.

"Eisenwald may have been destroyed, but the source of the problem still remains." A shadow of a councilman spoke to his fellow companions as 8 shadows were floating above a magic circle.

"The Dark guilds are still too many."

"Then we must find a way to eradicate them all at once."

"But how?"

"It'd be intolerable if Zeref's magic fell into their hands again." Org said while holding a glass encased flute of Lullaby.

"How could they obtain such magic that easily in the first place?" Yajima asked his fellow councilmen.

"Responsibility for it goes all the way up to the administration." Michello replied to him while crossing his hands.

"In any case." Siegrain said as he had a smile on him.

"It seems that this time we were saved by that thorn in our sides, Fairy Tail."

"To destroy an entire dark guild with only 3 people is very outstanding, don't you think?" Ultear said while smiling.

"I know that all of you have trouble admitting it, but it's a fact that if they hadn't come to the rescue. Lullaby would've killed the Guild Masters, making the situation very serious for us as it would've cost the heads of many of us here." Siegrain explained to them with a smile

"Nonsense! You're saying that we, the Council is also responsible!?" Leiji exclaimed to Siegrain while having a furious look.

"I've heard enough!" Org retorted to them all.

"Their tendency for wanton destruction has given me a headache!"

Siegrain's smile got wider. "In other words, we'll pay them back kindly."

**Magnolia**

**Lucy's apartment**

"The incident with Eisenwald aiming for the Guild Masters during their regular meeting made a big headlines in the newspapers and everyone in the country learned of it." Lucy writes down on a piece of paper as her hand scribbled her thoughts on it.

"I never thought I'd find myself involved in such a huge event. But ultimately, it hasn't changed much in my life at all. Though sometimes I become quite excited when I think back on it. I heard that Erigor and his guild were arrested by the Magic Council as their guild was disbanded for good and also, I'm a part of one of the strongest team in Fairy Tail!"

"There's Erza, Gray and Natsu." Lucy said in her mind while pausing her writing.

"And I can't forget little Milo!" Lucy smiled as the little cat face popped in her head

Lucy then puts down her pen for a moment and leaned her chin on her hand while looking at the town from her window.

She then stretched her hands up before taking her pen again.

"Fairy Tail is the best guild! So, don't worry about me while you're there, Mama. P.S. please don't tell Papa."

She then let out a sigh before folding her letter then seal it with a wax stamp

"Adventures are great, but relaxing at home feels way better!"

"I think I should go shopping!" Lucy said with a smile as she stands up from her chair.

"70,000 Jewels in rent is really cheap for a place like this." A voice spoke to her as her eyes went surprised when she turned around to see who spoke.

"You've found a nice pad, Lucy!" Gray greeted her while in his boxers.

"A PERVERTED INTRUDER!" Lucy exclaimed as she sends a kick to Gray's chest.

"GUAAAAAHHH!"

Gray then recovered himself as he held a hand out to her.

"Wait, Lucy! it's a misunderstanding!" Gray exclaimed to her.

"I was already naked when I got here" Gray turned around as he explains to her.

"Leave!" Lucy pointed to the door.

"And just when I was nice enough to come here and fetch you." Gray said as he sighs.

"Eh?" Lucy said confused.

"I knew you forget." Gray said.

"Erza told us at the train, remember?"

**In front of the guild**

A crowd was in a circle as everyone was cheering on two people who were standing in the ring

"Take him down, Erza!"

"Get' em!"

"I bet my money on the new guy!"

They all shouted as they cheered for the challengers

Natsu and Erza stood in the circle of the crowds as they were facing each other

"W-Wait! She was serious?!" Lucy exclaimed in shock

"Of course, they're serious!" Elfman exclaimed with a smirk

"If they weren't, they wouldn't call themselves Men!"

"Erza is a girl, you know." Macao said with a sweat drop

Lucy looks worried for the two of them as everyone was shouting while cheering

"Don't worry about them." A voice spoke as Lucy turns around and her eyes widen

A woman with long white hair and was nearly identical with Lisanna as the long white hair woman was smiling to Lucy while Lisanna who was holding Milo and was standing beside her

"You're Mirajane Strauss!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise and shock

"you're one of the top rankings models in Weekly Sorcerer's Magazine!" Lucy holds onto Mira's hands as her eyes sparkles in amazement

Mira nodded with a smile

"You must be Lucy. One of our new members." Mira said with a smile as she then looks at the fight

"It's really rare seeing Erza wanting to challenge someone." Mira smiles as she then looks at Lucy

"Your boyfriend must be something."

Lucy then blushes red

"N-n-no! Natsu is not my b-b-b-boyfriend." Lucy had steam coming out of her head as she mumbles words while waving her hands to Mira who just smiled to her

In the midst of the crowds, Erza and Natsu was looking at each other as they were seizing up each other

"Thank you for accepting my challenge, Natsu." Erza said with a smile

"No problem." Natsu said with a smile as well

"I could never say no to a beautiful girl." Natsu winks as Erza blushes a bit

"Will this be really okay?" Lucy asked with a worried voice

"Relax, it's just a sparring match." Gray said to her with a smile

"If you don't mind, I'll be going all out in this match." Erza said as her body glowed and her Heart Kreuz armor was replaced with a dark red armor and Erza's hair is tied into a pair of high, long pigtails.

"Entei no Yoroi?!" Macao exclaimed

"That's her fire-resistant Armor!" Laki exclaimed

"but why would she use that?" Loke said with confusion

Natsu smirks in amusement as he swings his hands to the side and both of his palms started to glow and on them were a pair of gauntlets that had sluggers attached on the forearm part on each one.

"What are those?" Lucy asked

"Never seen those type of weapons before." Gray said in confusion

"OKAY!" Makarov who was sitting on top of a crate exclaimed as he was the referee to the match

"NO KILLING MOVE IS ALLOWED! THE MATCH WILL END IF ONE SIDE CANNOT FIGHT OR SURRENDERS!"

Erza raised up her sword as she pulled it back near her face.

Natsu chuckles as he raises his hand on sluggers up to his chest and went into a battle pose.

Makarov raises his hands up and did a gun like gesture with his fingers.

"BEGIN!" A magic ball popped out of his index fingers and exploded as it signals the match to start

Erza and Natsu then dashed at each other with incredible speed

The crowds cheered for them as some were rooting for Erza to win

Erza's sword and Natsu's sluggers clash at each other as both sides were nailing each other's attacks

They then went into a power struggle as their weapons clashed at each other and went into a lock.

Sparks fly as Erza and Natsu were giving pressure to their weapon in order to push back the other.

"Not using the "Enryūō no Kiba" nor the other sword you use?" Erza said with a smile as she kept pushing her sword against Natsu's sluggers.

"Enryūō no Kiba" is too powerful to use in a crowded area." Natsu replied as he kept his hold on the power struggle.

"And the Gaia Ken's attacks won't work on your Armor, am I right?" Natsu smirks to Erza who smirks back.

"And besides.." Natsu pushes away Erza as he then back flips away from a slash.

"I've been meaning to try these babies out!" Natsu exclaimed as the sluggers started glowing

He then swipes his hands down to the ground and a magic slash appeared and was heading towards Erza.

Erza blocks the attack with her sword and she deflected it upwards.

"Amazing!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise and amazement.

"Told you." Gray said with a smirk.

"They're men!" Elfman said with a grin.

"Nyaaa!" Milo meowed with a smile

Erza then slashes her sword in a horizontal line and a red flaming magic slash appeared and was heading towards Natsu

Natsu grins as he blocks the attack by swiping his arms to the side making the attack disappear

Suddenly Erza was nowhere to be seen as Natsu was surprised at her disappearance.

She then appeared behind Natsu with her sword readied.

"It's over!" Erza exclaimed as she was about to swing her sword at Natsu.

Natsu turns his head slightly to look at Erza as he had a smirk to her.

"That's what you think." Natsu said

Erza was confused before her eyes widen when she heard something coming beside her.

She quickly jumps away as two metallic boomerangs came flying to where she was standing and Natsu catches the two boomerangs that were actually his sluggers

Erza landed a few feet away from Natsu as she was surprised

"How did he..-gasp-!?" Erza muttered before realizing something

**Flashback**

***Natsu grins as he blocks the attack while swiping his arms to the side making the attack disappear.***

***His two sluggers detached themselves from Natsu's gauntlet as they started spinning around like boomerangs.***

**Flashback ends**

"When he blocked my attack!?" Erza said in amazement as Natsu spins his sluggers in his hands before gripping them and raised them up at Erza.

"Surprised?" Natsu asked with a smirk.

Erza smiles as her eyes sparkled in amazement.

"Wanna make a bet?" Natsu asked casually as the both of them started circling each other while readying their weapons.

"A bet?" Erza asked confused and intrigued.

"Yup." Natsu said as he attached one of his sluggers to his right hand while doing the same with the other but flipped the slugger to the back side.

"The loser becomes the winner's slave for the next three days." Natsu explained to her.

"Six days." Erza said with a smirk.

"Four." Natsu said as he stops his walking with Erza doing the same.

"Deal!" Erza complied to the bet.

"Don't go back on your words!" Natsu said with a grin.

he then jumps high up and spins his body like a top and came flying at Erza.

Erza raised up her sword and defends against Natsu's slugger spin attack as sparks fly when Natsu's sluggers gets in contact with Erza's sword.

Erza gritted her teeth as Natsu's attack was not stopping and she was being pushed back from the attack.

Suddenly Natsu stopped his spinning as he got down on all four and did a leg swing at Erza's legs, making her fall down.

He quickly sat over her with a slugger near her neck and Natsu was grinning at her.

"Give up?" Natsu asked to a completely surprise and amazed Erza.

Erza just dumbly nodded with wide eyes.

Everyone's jaws dropped at Erza's surrender.

Natsu smiles as he got off Erza and helps her up

"EEEEEHHHHHHHHHH!?"

Everyone screamed with eyes popped out and jaws drop that can make someone get a jaw dislocation

Natsu smiles to Erza who eyes sparkled in amazement and her cheeks had a tinge of red on them

"You're pretty good." Natsu said to Erza.

"You as well." Erza replied.

"I've never seen such amazing fighting skills in my life."

Natsu then smirks mischievously to Erza who was a bit surprised at the smirk.

"I win the match so…." Natsu said as he walks around a bit then looks at Erza.

"You're my slave for the next four days!"

Erza was surprised at his outburst but nodded in defeat to him.

Natsu then went to her as he leans to her ear.

"I can't wait to do soooo many things with you." Natsu whispers in a husky voice to her ear as he blows on her ear and gives a little peck to her cheeks.

Erza's face went full on red as steam flies out of her ears and head as her mind was overloaded with naughty things Natsu might do to her, her eyes turn into swirls as she looks like she wanted to pass out.

Natsu chuckles to her reaction as she was mumbling words, he didn't understand.

Suddenly a group of rune soldiers came marching in as they were being leaded by a council messenger that looks like a frog.

"Greetings Fairy Tail." The Council Messenger said as he greeted Makarov who was in front of them.

"Why is the Council here?!" Jet and Droy exclaimed in shock.

"That's what you guys are surprised?" Lucy said with a sweat drop for the fact that they didn't get surprised at the appearance of a humanoid frog.

"Regarding the recent Eisenwald incident, we hereby charge you with 13 crimes property damage and the destruction of a village near the Guild Masters Meeting hall."

The council messenger then pointed at Erza who was looking at the army.

"Erza Scarlet, you're under arrest."

"Eh?" Erza said in surprise and confusion.

"WAAAAAA!?" Everyone exclaimed in shock.

**After an hour**

**In the guild**

Everyone was in a depressed mood for the fact that their comrade was taken to prison.

"Why now of all time?" Elfman said with a depressed face.

"They could've taken us in any time, but why this time?" Gray asked.

Lucy looks down in depression.

"Nyaaa." Milo meowed to her while rubbing his head to Lucy's hand as the latter smile a bit to the feline and caresses his head.

Makarov who was sitting by the bar, was drinking a mug of beer as he kept his eyes close

"Gramps! We've got to do something!" Gray exclaimed to him.

"And that is?" Makarov asked and Gray stood in silent as he couldn't come up with a retort.

Lucy looks worried for Erza as Milo was sitting on her lap.

"Natsu, will Erza be alright?" Lucy asked to the pink haired man who is nowhere to be seen.

"Eh? Natsu?" Lucy stands up as Milo jumps on the table.

"Where's Natsu?" Lucy asked as everyone looks around and didn't found the man anywhere in the guild.

"You don't think." Lisanna said, assuming the worst.

". . ."

"HE WENT TO THE COUNCIL!"

**In the National Council: Fiore Branch**

Erza was walking in the hallway while being accompanied by the Council Messenger.

She suddenly stops when she saw a blue haired man with a tattoo on his right side on his face as the man was leaning on a wall.

The man smirks to her as the Council Messenger kneels down.

"Siegrain!?" Erza exclaimed in surprise.

"Long time no see, Erza." Siegrain greeted her while walking to her.

Erza steps back a bit in a hostile pose.

"Relax Erza, it's just a thought projection." Siegrain said as his body was transparent a bit.

"My body is still at Era and so are the others at the court."

"State your business." Erza said to him.

Siegrain smiled to her as he walks past her.

"Don't be that harsh, I'm on Fairy Tail's side." Siegrain said as he smirks.

"The others however share different opinions though."

Siegrain then turns around to look at Erza.

"They plan to make someone else take the fall with a scapegoat."

Erza then turns around and glares at him.

"SHUT UP!"

"Oh well." Siegrain said with a shrug.

"I just wanted to see you before the trial." He then leans his finger to Erza's chin as he lifts her face up a bit.

"To warn you."

He then leans his face to her ear.

"Don't say anything about the past to them." Siegrain said as he closes his eyes.

"For both our sake."

He then let go of her chin and walks to the door in front.

"I'll be waiting with the others at the other side." Siegrain said to her.

"As a member of the council." He then disappeared leaving Erza.

The Council Messenger then looks up at Erza

"Y-you know some powerful people, don't you?" The council messenger asked with some sweat going down his face.

"He's evil." Erza said as the council messenger was confused.

**Back at Fairy Tail**

Everyone was in a huge panic because Natsu just left the guild and was heading towards the Council.

"What are we going to do?!" Lucy said in worry.

"That guy is nuts!" Gray exclaimed.

"Gramps!" He exclaimed to him.

"We've got to go there!"

"We will wait for the verdict" Makarov replied as his eyes were foreshadowed.

"Gramps!?" Gray retorted.

"That is the end of the story!" Makarov exclaimed to him.

**Back with Erza**

She was standing on a podium as she was facing the council members who were sitting on a juries' table.

"The accused, Erza Scarlet." Gran Doma called out her name while sitting on top of the juries' table.

"Regarding the recent incident with Eisenwald and Lullaby, you're accused of having caused the damage to Oshibana Station, the destruction of the Ryusika Gorge railway, the destruction of the Guild Master's meeting hall and the destruction of the town near it."

"You're accused of all of these acts of destruction, as according to the witness report collected, it claims that the suspect was an Armored Mage!"

Erza nodded her head to his statement before suddenly...

**BOOM!**

The door behind her suddenly exploded.

"What is this!?" Gran Doma exclaimed.

Erza looks behind her and her eyes widen in surprise.

In the dust of the explosion stood a figure as the figure walks towards the room with metallic footsteps clang on the floor.

The dust stood aside revealing Natsu in his Enryūō no Yoroi.

Natsu walks to the podium where Erza stood there surprised of his arrival and the council members were the same.

"W-w-why are you here?" Gran Doma stuttered out in shock and a bit of fear.

"Rank 0 Wizard Saint, Dragov!?"

Every council member stood in fear at Natsu's appearance as Erza was confused to the whole thing.

"**I find this trial to be such a waste of time."** Natsu said behind his helmet as two glowing red dots appeared in the visors.

Gran Doma gulped in nervous to his statement as they could feel the heat rising up a bit, even though they are only a thought projection.

"**You would use an innocent, beautiful woman as a scapegoat, in order to maintain the world of magic?"** Natsu said as Erza blushes when he said beautiful.

"**How pathetic."** Natsu said with a scoff.

He then snaps his fingers twice as a pair of keys appeared in his hands.

"**You should really read the reports a bit better next time."** Natsu unlocks the restraints on Erza's hands as they fall to the floor.

"**I was the one who destroyed all of it, not her, if you are going to put someone in jail, it'll be me"**

"**But…"** Natsu said as he taps the floor with his boots as the floor cracks and creates a miniature sized Crater bellow him.

"**I don't think you can, can you?"** Natsu's eyes glowed a crimson red color in his helmet as he glares at Gran Doma.

Natsu then turns around and did a come here gesture to Erza who complied.

"**Sorry if the heat's too hot for you, Old Man Yajima!"** Natsu said to Yajima as he then suddenly carried up Erza in his arms as the red hair woman lets out an "Eep!" to the action

Yajima nodded with a smile as he waved his hand to Natsu in a goodbye.

"**Come by the guild sometimes!"** Natsu said with a grin behind his helmet as his wings sprouted behind his cape.

He then stomps his boot down and the left side of the room exploded creating a huge hole.

Natsu then started to walk away to the hole with Erza in his arms.

He then suddenly stops and looks at Gran Doma.

"**Oh yeah, and Fairy Tail is in my protection. So, don't think of doing anything funny while I'm around."** Natsu said to him as a glowing red eye started at Gran Doma.

Suddenly the right side of Natsu's helmet was on fire as it was raging like wild fire.

"**OR YOU ALL SHALL PAY DEARLY!"** Natsu threatened them as he steps out to the hole.

Suddenly his head popped back into the room, surprising the council.

"**Except for you Old Man Yajima, you're good in my books!"**

Natsu then steps out and flied up to the sky while holding Erza in his arms.

Gran Doma let out an exhale of relief as he slops back on his chair.

"This trial is dismissed." He said as he disappeared.

One by one, every council member disappeared leaving Yajima and Siegrain the only ones left.

"To think Dragov is stepping into the frame." Siegrain said in an amused voice as he disappeared.

Yajima looks skeptical to Siegrain before sighing.

"You sure have a handful of interesting mages in your guild, Macky." Yajima said with a nostalgic smile as he disappears

**In the sky**

Natsu was soaring the sky while carrying Erza in his arms as the latter hugged Natsu's neck in order not to fall.

Erza was looking at the sky and then to Natsu.

"So, you're a wizard saint" Erza said to which Natsu replied with a nod

"**A reserve actually. I changed my rank since I never liked stepping out in the light too much."** Natsu said to her

"Why not?" Erza asked

"**When you are taking orders from them, you tend to get annoyed by their missions."** Natsu replied.

Erza nodded in understanding as she gets a better grip on his neck.

"Then, what made you change your mind?" Erza asked him again.

Natsu's helmet turns to look at her.

"**It was because of you I've changed, ever since the day I first met you."** Natsu replied casually as he faced back forward.

Erza blushes as steam poofs out of her head.

"**And besides.."** Natsu said as he glides down the sky as they saw Magnolia coming into view.

"**What are friends for!"** Natsu said with a grin as his helmet automatically opens up revealing his face to her.

Erza's face went into a surprise before having a soft smile on her.

"Thank you, Natsu."

"Any time!" Natsu replied as they have arrived at Magnolia.

**At the guild**

Everyone was waiting at the guild before the doors opened and came in Natsu and Erza.

"Erza! Natsu!"

They all yelled as they crowded the two.

After a few minutes, everything went back to normal.

"Man, it feels good to relax!" Natsu said as He ordered plates of fried chickens from Lisanna.

"Here you go, Natsu!" Lisanna giggled when she saw Natsu's eyes sparkling in excitement when he saw the food.

"The whole arrest has been just a formality...?" Lucy laid her head on a table in depression. She was worried sick when they told her that Erza was arrested, but it turned out to be just a plan from the Council.

"When you look at it the other way around, it makes sense that the council would make a fake trial." Cana Alberona said as she sat beside Lucy drinking from a huge barrel while having a barely visible drunken blush on her cheeks.

A huge sweat dropped on the back of Lucy's head at the scene in front of her, seriously, how could someone drink so much alcohol?

"What do you mean by that?" she asked her not quit getting what the card user meant. She had become good friends with Cana over the days, even though the drunk woman keeps groping her breasts.

"The Council knows that our guild is a trouble making guild, so they've planned to make someone else take the fall, in order to keep the balance of power to them!" Cana shouted with a big grin on her face before she collapsed face first on the table.

"Cana!" Lucy screamed out in worry to the drunk woman

Natsu was eating his chicken bone before he suddenly felt a magic power being activated

He turns around and saw that everyone was falling asleep, except him and Makarov.

Natsu saw a cloak figure appeared in front of the entrance of the guild.

The cloaked man then walks into the guild, passing everyone who was asleep.

"Who is this guy?" Natsu thought as he slowly watched him.

"Mystogan." Makarov said, as he grumbled.

"I'll be taking this request I'll be back later." Mystogan said. He began to leave, but noticed Natsu, who was staring at him.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Natsu, I'm a temporary member here." He said introducing himself.

"were you the one who put everyone to sleep?" He asked as he looked around the guild.

"Mystogan doesn't like showing his face to people." Makarov said.

"Well then, I'll be leaving. Natsu..right? I look forward to seeing if you join or not." He said as he began leaving.

*'He can withstand my sleeping spell, he's no ordinary mage.'* He thought.

"Lift the sleeping spell first." Makarov said.

"5..4..3..2..1." And with a flash he vanished. And everyone woke up, feeling like they had a headache.

"Ugh, was that Mystogan?" A guild member said wearily.

"Mystogan?" Lucy asked.

"Mystogan is one of the strongest in the guild." Gray explained as he got off the floor.

"But he puts everyone to sleep when he comes to get a request. No one except the master has seen his face." Mira said.

"I can't let that comment slide!" Everyone looked up to the second floor. The voice had come from a large blond man, wearing fancy clothes, and had a pair of magic head phones on his head. He also had a scar on his eye, as he smirked.

"Who's that?" Lucy asked.

"Another candidate for the strongest." Gray said as he narrowed his eyes up at the man.

"Laxus!" Elfman growled.

"Since when did you get here?" Another guild mate asked.

"I come by from time to time." Laxus replied

"And regarding that comment Mira, I HAVE seen Mystogan too." He said smugly. Natsu decided to ignore Laxus as he thought that he was just some guy with a hard head.

"Hmm, I don't recognize you, you must be that "Temporary" member I heard about." Laxus said as he looked at Natsu.

Natsu kept eating, as he ignored Laxus. "Hey, are you deaf or something? I'm talking to you! you piece of trash!" He shouted a bit annoyed at Natsu.

*'So annoying!'* Natsu thought as he was fighting back the urge to glare at the guy.

"HEY YOU PINK HAIRED SHIT, ANSWER ME!" Laxus shouted in a more demanding tone. Natsu then gritted his teeth, as he felt like His blood was boiling in anger.

"That's it!" Natsu then stood up, and then glared up at the blond, he tried to look friendly, but everyone could tell he was pissed.

"What?" He asked.

"So, you can hear me! good, listen up. Fairy Tail doesn't need any weak ass mages like you" He said pointing at Natsu.

"So if I were you, I would leave and never show my face here ever again!" He said as he smirked.

"Laxus, leave him alone! If you don't…" Erza shouted before getting cut off, as Laxus interrupted her.

"Or what Erza? You can't beat me, no one can! I'm the strongest, there is no one who could beat me here!" He laughed.

"What did you say!?" Gray shouted at Laxus

Erza was about to go up there and teach him a lesson, but she stopped when she and everyone heard something from Natsu.

"what a hardhead you are." Natsu said with an annoyed face.

"what?" Laxus squinted his eyes at him.

"I said that you're a hardhead" Natsu said as he glared at him.

"You're an interesting one, no one talks back to me like that before." Laxus said with an amused grin.

"Is that an invitation." Natsu cracks his knuckles as he was now in a glare contest.

"You better watch what you say, smart ass. If you think for a second here that you would even last a second against me, then your even dumber than what I first took you for." Laxus said as he continued staring down at Natsu.

Suddenly heat started rising up as Natsu's right side of his face was burning with a red dot appearing to where his eye was.

"You wanna go?" Laxus said as sparks of electricity dance around his hands.

"Laxus, that's enough." Makarov said as he looked up at his grandson.

"Tch, whatever, this guy is boring." Laxus scoffed, as he turned and disappeared from their sight.

Natsu then took a deep breath and let it out as he tried to calm down his body heat. He then sat down, and continued eating.

"I thought they were going to fight." Macao said as he sighed in relief.

"That kid is something else if he pissed Laxus off." Wakaba said.

"Damn, I'm surprised he didn't charge the guy after all his taunting." Cana said as she looked at Natsu in amazement

Lucy and the others look at Natsu who was eating as the latter was eating a chicken bone

"All that matter is that those two didn't fight here." Erza said as she eats a strawberry cheesecake

"Why?" Lucy asked

"That's because…" Mira explained the whole Only S-class wizard mission on top and the fact that Laxus is Makarov's grandson.

Lucy's jaw dropped in amazement.

"So, Natsu!" Gray with Elfman who sitting with him, called out to the salmon hair mage who turned around to look at them.

"What?" Natsu asked while eating a chicken bone.

"what was the bet you made with Erza?" Elfman asked him.

Natsu chewed on the chicken bone before remembering the bet he made with the scarlet hair woman.

"Oh yeah!" Natsu exclaimed with a grin before jumping up on his seat.

Erza who was sitting with Lucy at the table suddenly shakes as she was sweating a bit

"I forgot about that!" Erza screams in her mind as she sent a glare to Elfman and Gray who hugged each other in fear from the glare.

"Er-za!" Natsu playfully called out her name as he appeared behind her.

"Eeeep!" Erza squealed a bit in surprise to his sudden appearance.

"Remember our bet." He asked with a smile.

Erza hesitantly nodded to him while backing away a bit.

"Don't go back on your word." Natsu smirks to her as Lucy who was holding Milo in her arms, sweat drops as to seeing an S class shake in fear to Natsu.

"first order!" Natsu said while raising a finger up to a number one

Erza gulped as she waited the command

"I want a lap pillow!"

Natsu laid his head on her lap with a smile as everyone was surprised to his command.

"Wha!?" Erza said in surprised as Natsu was rubbing his face to her lap.

"So comfortable!" Natsu muffled voice out as he turns around and face upwards to see Erza.

"You sure you want that, Natsu?" Makarov said with a mischievous and perverted grin.

"You can make her do- GAH!?" Makarov said before getting a frying pan hit on the head by Mira.

Erza just looks at Natsu who was comfortable laying his head on her lap as the latter looks to be enjoying his pillow.

"next order! I want you to caress my head while I nap." Natsu said as he turns his head sideway so his face would face towards Erza's stomach.

Erza got surprised before doing his command as she gently caress his head with her gloves.

"No armor!" Natsu whined like a little kid as he frowns when the metal on the gloves touched his head.

Erza sighed as she takes off her gloves Armor and then caresses his head again.

Natsu's face turn into a cute sleeping kid's face as he was enjoying her touch.

"Nyaa." Milo meowed as he jumps to Lucy's lap and circled around and sleeps on it.

"You two are just like kids." Lucy said with a smile as she caresses the little feline's furry back.

Erza smiled as she liked doing this with Natsu.

She slowly and gently caresses his hair and face like a mother would to her child.

Everyone else smiled to them while others were a bit jealous to Natsu as he had a beautiful woman follow his orders.

Natsu yawned like a cat as he snuggles to Erza's lap and smiled like a cat in his nap.
