W.O.T.U. : Chapter 1
Sleep.
Sleep...
Sleep, my little prince.
The waves will carry in you slumber.
And keep you away from the roaring thunder.
While the wind carries the sun on it's back.
And the charcoal flames become undone...

''What's your name...?''
''...Natsu...''
''Weird name, my name's Gray!''
Gray smiled brightly at Natsu, who stared back blankly. Gray was only the age of 7, Natsu; being a year younger then him.
The two children were dressed in fine clothing with the symbols of the noble family they were born under. Natsu; the only heir of the Dragneel family, and Gray; the only son of the Duke, and heir of the Fullbuster family.
The children were at Natsu's estate on a sunny day, in the garden together.
''Well... Your name is weird too...'' Natsu defended as he sat down in the lyshious grass, despite his mother's complaints of possible stains on his finely made clothing.
''Na unh! '' Gray frowned then pointed at Natsu who blinked in confusion, ''Well at least my hair isn't pink! Only a girl would have pink hair!'' which was still an uncommon hair color in the Fiore Kingdom.
Natsu scowled, his cheeks blushing the same color as his hair. The young noble stood up, ''Shut up! There's nothing wrong with my hair!''
Gray laughed, ''You know, when you blush like that you even look like a girl...'' The ravenette teased, causing Natsu to get even redder.
Natsu crossed his arms, having the urge to beat the other kid up.
''Oh! You should grow it out!'' Gray suggested, Natsu stared at him like he was weird.
''You'll look even cuter with longer hair.'' He snickered, Natsu furrowed his brow and looked down at his feet, not liking his first moments with the other noble one bit.
Gray's giggles finally died down when he noticed Natsu's unhappy expression, ''Hey, I was only teasing... Hey... I'm sorry...''
Natsu blinked at Gray, watching as the noble sighed then moved away from him. The ravenette bent down to the ground a little away from Natsu. The pinket tried to glance over Gray's shoulder to see what the other was doing.
''Here!'' Gray said as he suddenly turned around and hurried back over to Natsu. His cheeks were slightly red as he looked away and held out his hand. Natsu looked down at the small bouquet of spiky pink dianthus flowers within Gray's hold, ''I'm sorry... About what I said before; I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.''
Natsu stared at the boy before hesitantly accepting the flowers grown in his garden.
Gray gulped nervously as he watched Natsu sniff the flowers with a warm smile on his face.
''That's it!'' The ravenette snapped then pointed at a confused Natsu for the second time already, ''I'm gonna make you my wife!''
PRESENT...
''I don't want to go!'' Natsu whined loudly as he clenched his fists at his side.
''But...but Gray planned out the whole thing for you!'' A girl with long blond hair frowned as she kept a safe distance from the irritated pinkette.
''I know! But that's exactly why I don't want to go! I like Gray and all, but I don't feel comfortable going to who-knows-where just to be shown off like some doll!'' Natsu huffed and pulled at the end of his expensive dress. It was elegant, and stopped around his ankles; a black corset was around his flat chest, tied with red ribbon. The dress itself was pink-almost the same color as Natsu's long silky pink locks, that reach a shy above his bottom, with spiky signature bangs here and there. He had on short black leather gloves and matching red lace black boots that ended below his knee.
''Ugggh! Everyone is gonna keep thinking I'm a girl, or keep mistaking me for one!''
Lucy smiled softly, ''That's because you're wearing women's clothing; actually you do it all the time.'' Lucy pointed out, the comment made Natsu blush.
''Yeah but... Gray says he likes it...''
''Mmmhmmm.'' Lucy smirked coyly, ''So have you done it yet?'' she suddenly asked, Natsu turned on her. His face, written with embarrassment all over.
''Of course not!'' Natsu shouted in shock, hating how Lucy could always get to him. He and Lucy knew each other since they were babies, Gray met her two days after Natsu met him, and decided to take Natsu as his wife 10 year ago.
Natsu was finally of age to marry at 16, then his and Gray's parents approved of a noble wedding, which would unite both royal blooded families with a younger generation.
To celebrate their engagement, Gray held a dock ceremony, to announce a prized ship he had built as a gift to Natsu. An engagement gift.
The whole idea of it all embarrassed the crap out of Natsu, he utterly couldn't stand being the center of attention. He hated being gawked at by stiffs; sure he may be a little reckless, but he also demanded respect like any other noble around.
Nobles are descendants of royal blood, broken over generations into several families. Many hope that the families would become one again, and Natsu marrying Gray will bring them one step closer.
Natsu huffed and crossed his arms; his pink hair spilling over his shoulders, his long sleeve dress suited him quite well.
''Stop being such a perv Lucy, you keep that up, and you'll never find a husband.'' Natsu grinned as Lucy blushed this time. The blond pouted her lip and turned the other cheek.
Satisfied, Natsu went back to fixing his clothes, he always passed for a woman. He only cross-dresses because Gray liked it, and his family encouraged it. Apparently, some noble families think that it's necessity for a growing child to be raised as the opposite gender for half their life so they can become more refined, and have better aspects of both genders.
The only thing is; it just suited Natsu too well, despite his sharp alluring eyes that Gray loves so much.
''NATSU! LADY NATSU!''
A tic of anger appeared on the pinkette's forehead, he turned around, along with Lucy to see a blue furred cat hurry into the room. The feline was upright on two feet as he looked up at the two humans.
''Happy, what did I say about you calling me 'Lady', I'm not a chic!''
Happy smiled, ''Yeah but you dress like one!'' The blue feline shot back. Lucy scooped up the talking feline and petted him.
''So, what's up?''
Happy purred, ''Oh... Uh the dock ceremony is gonna start soon, so Lady Mirajane told me to inform Natsu.''
Natsu freaked, ''What! Why didn't you fly here instead, you could have told me sooner!''
''I was lazy.'' The blue feline yawned in Lucy's arms as she giggled and scratched behind his ear.
Natsu growled in annoyance before turning to his body sized mirror and fixing a dianthus shaped bow into the side of his hair. ''I won't forget this, Happy!'' Natsu promised before hurrying out the room, holding his puffy elegant dress up a little so he didn't trip.
Lucy smiled, and followed at a slower pace with Happy still snuggled in her arms.

''...Is everything ready?''
''Yes captain, everything is in place! The dock ceremony should begin soon...''
''Good...'' A dark sinister voice chuckled, ''These nobles won't know what hit them...''
