Coming of Age

Chapter 1

All seemed well on this Day in Magnolia, People where just starting there days with the sun peering over the horizon, Not a cloud in site. It had seemed like a perfect day, well technically it was, well for everyone apart from a certain pink haired Dragonslayer. Natsu had woke up from another very restless night of sleep, he had not had a good nights sleep in now 3 weeks. Like the last 3 weeks he had woken up sweeting and frustrated. "Good Dam it again…. But I only have a week left, why did it have to be my 18th birthday…. Grrrr" Natsu voiced out loud to no one in particular.

With that he got out of his bed still very frustrated, more over sexually frustrated. "Dam I hate mating season, and why does it have to be her.." Natsu said while turning the shower to cold thinking that maybe a cold shower will help somewhat.

After he exits the shower still being frustrated as hell he walks into his bedroom, to be greeted by happy. "Natsu what are we gonna do for breakfast? Can we go to the fish market, Please..?" Happy said excitedly not realising the torment that Natsu was in. "Sure buddy, we might as well head there now then how bout we get a job once we get to the guild." "Aye." Was all that Happy return, with that they headed out the door towards the fish market.

Unbeknown to them in another part of the city a certain white haired bar mage had woken up as well extremely sexually frustrated. For the last 3 weeks she had been having extremely vivid dreams about a certain Fire Dragon slayer. She had know that she had had feelings for him but was always to scared to act on the feeling for thinking that he had feeling for Lucy or Lisanna. There was also another fact that had been worrying her was the fact that in these 3 week Natsu had been seeming different, well mainly he was very distant to everyone but more so to her. Wondering what it could be she decided that today she would ask Natsu what it was. With this thought in mind she got out of bed and made her way to the shower to try and cool off before cooking Lisanna and Elfman Breakfast then heading to the guild.

While Mira was on her way to the guild she saw Natsu heading to the fish market and decided to head to him and ask him what has been up of late, and why he has been distant, she was worried that she had done something wrong and not fully understanding what that was. So off she ran to hopefully get her much needed answers out of him, knowing that he was never able to keep stuff from her for to long.

Natsu was walking towards the fish market, his hands behind his head in his usually walking stance, with happy flying right next to him. Well he was walking till he smelt the heavenly scent which inturn had frozen him in place. Happy was about to ask what was going on and why had he stopped when he heard Mira yelling "Natsu.. what a minute." Now happy was never oblivious to the affect that Mira had on Natsu, or the fact of him coming of age and what that had meant, Natsu had explained all this to him years ago.

When Mira had come to a stop behind Natsu catching her breathe. Natsu still facing away from her, his instincts had take over a little, he tilted his head back as if to look at the sky and brought in a deep breathe, in that breathe he deeply inhaled miras sent of fresh lavender. "Oh that is the best smell," he thought. Returning his head to looking forward he let out a growl, this hat terrified everyone in the facility including Happy as he felt uncontrolled fear at this, however for Mira, this growl made her extremely turned on. More so when he growled her name after that. With this she started closing the gap slowly about to mumble his name. That was until he gained his senses back a little after realising what had happen, then saying "oh shit…. What am I doing I cant…. What am I thinking" with that Natsu bolted almost faster than the eyes can see. Leaving Mira and Happy there wondering what was going on.

Happy broke the silence, "aww, now what am I gonna get for break fast" saying with a down trodden face. Then Mira thought she would ask happy what was going on with Natsu. "Umm.. Happy what's wrong with happy and what was that all about?" Happy just turned to Mira " I think it has something to do with the Mating season and Natsu's birthday but other than that I don't really know" Happy lied, thinking that Natsu was suppose to be the one to explain to her about the coming of age ritual with his mate and not him, so he left it.

Mira just smiled "Thanks Happy, how bout you come with me and ill get you some breakfast at the guild." "Aye" happy said excitedly.

On there way to the guild Mira decided she needed some answers and considering that she couldn't get them of Natsu she would get the next best thing and ask Laxus, Gajeel and Wendy.

Apon reaching Fairy Tales Guild Hall Mira and happy make there what over to the Bar where Mira tells happy that she will be right back with his fish that she had promised. In the Kitchen Mira gets caught in thought "could Natsu be the reason for my dreams, and why was I so turned on when he growled when everyone else in the area was terrified, I think its time that I get some answers and I think Laxus and the others will know." Once Happy's Breakfast is finished she walks back out to the Bar, "Here you go happy," she says smiling, "Thanks Mira, you're the best" Happy returns. After this Mira decides that she has waited for to long. "Laxus, Gajeel, Wendy can you please come with me I need to speak to you guys alone." With this the dragons slayers get up knowing themselves what this is about and walk over to Mira who is by the back storage room in the guild walking in she closes the door and puts a privacy spell on the room.

Once everyone was sitting down Mira speaks up "I think you guys know what this is about and I need some answers, hopefully you can answer them" Laxus just smugly says "Bout time Mira, you took long enough" Gajeel just does his usual reply "Gehihihi"

Up on the hill above magnolia Natsu sits with his back against the tree thinking over today's events, realising he cant run from this and that he needs to figure out a way to let Mira know that she is his mate. With this he stands up and walks back to the guild thinking along the way at how he is going to approach the topic in question.
