Icy Fire

Home

Gray was shocked when he awoke. The pink haired shifter was asleep on top of him. When the ice mage shifted, he felt his dick slip from between the shifters legs. He moaned softly at the slight jolting pain. Gray, shifted the heavy body off of him. He got up. He was a little sore.
Stretching his legs and arms he walked to the door. He couldn't believe he had, had sex with the dragon shifter. A soft smirk etched its way onto his face, he couldn't hear the sound of the storm any longer. Reaching the door he had to force it open. Heavy packed snow met his gaze. His dark blue eyes widened. The small hut they were in was buried.
A groan could be heard behind him. The dragon would be too cold in weather like this. The fire had gone out. Gray decided it was best to restart the fire first. He knew dragons didn't do well in extreme cold. Once he had a nice fire going he found heavier blankets to wrap the shifter up in. He brought the cold Exceed to his master. Tucking them in he smiled at seeing how the cuddled together.
His next chore was to see about getting out of here. He went to use the bathroom first. As he was washing his hands he looked into the mirror. There was a mark on his chest. He straightened. Touching the discolored flesh he was amazed. It was the shape of Natsu's dragon form, colored in the orange and red of his first fire. It looked like the shifter had tattooed it there.
Gray rushed back to the boy. He looked down at the happy duo snuggled in the warmth. Although he wanted to see if Natsu had any new marks, he knew better than to uncover them. Instead he went to his task.
Walking back to the door, he opened it once more. Carefully he drew in his magic. He pressed it into the snow. He was careful not to allow it to collapse into the small home. He pressed upwards. The snow was heavy.
After about five minutes of shifting the snow out of the way, Gray broke through. Sunlight filtered down on him. He sighed. It wasn't that bad. He was sure he could get them out by nightfall.
"W ,what's going on? Why is it so cold?" Natsu sat up shivering.
"Get dressed and stay close to the fire. We are snowed in. It will take me some time to get a tunnel carved out." The ice mage warned.
"I could melt it. We did pick up some fire sticks." Natsu suggested. In human form there was a type of twig the boy could chew on that would make his insides warm. He would then be able to breath a type of fire. Although not as hot as his dragon fire.
"It's too small for you to shift in here, isn't it?" his new lover asked. Natsu nodded. He frowned at the shirtless boy.
"What's on you're chest?" he asked. Gray's hand went to the dragon mark.
"It appears you marked me while we were, um connected." His face flamed at the memories of the night before.
Natsu pushed the blankets off. There wasn't a mark on his chest. He looked over his torso, legs, and tried to twist to see his back. When he stood up, Gray gasped.
"Right shoulder!" the dark haired boy came around. There on his shoulder was what looked like a blue flame. It was crystallized like ice.
"So, cool." Natsu ran to check it out into he mirror. "How did this happen?" he asked walking back out. He found his clothing as he marched back across the living space.
"Um, well I heard of bond mates getting marked if they, uh well if the connected body and soul." Gray stammered.
"Is having sex connecting the body?" Natsu asked while getting dressed. "You being my Knight is a soul bond, right." Gray nodded.
"Everyone at school is going to know we did that last night." He ran his hand through his hair.
"It was the first time I ever..." Natsu began.
"Same." Gray agreed.
"Did you like it? Or regret that, this happened?" Natsu asked gesturing to their marks. Gray frowned.
"I definitely enjoyed it." He mumbled.
"But you didn't want others to know you fucked a beast? An animal?" Natsu's voice rose as he became angry.
"That's not it. You know I don't..." Natsu didn't let him finish.
"It's fine. I'm just a beast for you to play with. Let's get out of here." The pink haired teen marched over to the pack he had on the day before. He extracted several sticks of wood. Chewing them he felt the warmth wash over him. He went to the door. He was able to melt a large tunnel up to the surface.
"Natsu, I..." Gray began.
"I will need to hunt before I fly us back." Natsu stated. He crawled from the tunnel. On the surface he transformed. Flying up quickly into the sky to keep from sinking in the snow. Happy followed him. They found a pond, Natsu thawed the ice away for the Exceed to catch a few fish. The dragon left the cat- creature there to go find a bison near by. Once full they went back to the hut. Gray had been busy. He cleared a landing strip for the dragon. It was wide enough for the mage to strap the wood and packs back onto the beast. He laid his head against the bony ridge plate of Natsu's brow.
Not knowing how to put into words what he was feeling, he allowed the other inside his emotions. They were in turmoil. Gray liked the pink haired dragon shifter. He found him extraordinarily good looking. He was concerned about how others would see the mark, not for himself, but for the dragon shifter. He knew that being a fire dragon and bonded to an ice mage was going to cause trouble for the other.
"Your life won't get any easier around me." Gray whispered.
'I never liked easy.' Natsu told him as he rubbed his scaled head against the other. Gray chuckled.
'Living with you will be interesting, hot head!' he snorted. Natsu ordered him to mount him. Gray blushed at the term. The dragon's snout puffed out smoke as he laughed. He took to the skies. The Exceed flying with him. They reached the cabin an hour later. Natsu landed.
Sting, Rogue and Lyons were outside watching the boys fly in. No sooner had they landed and Gray dismount was his brother on him. He jerked the collar of his jacket back.
"What the hell is this?" the other ice mage demanded.
"A mark of bonding." Gray explained. Sting laughed.
"Yeah, that's what we call it too." He chuckled. He turned his left arm so Gray could look at it. The boy had seen the mark before. It looked like a foggy dragon shape. A shadow dragon. Gray had assumed it was a tattoo. Now he understood what Mavis said when she called these two an unusual pair. They were mated! He gapped at them. Sting laughed at his expression.
Gray's dark eyes flicked over the dark dragon standing across the field from them. He turned slightly. There, also on his left shoulder was the mark of a white dragon. "You guys uh, bonded?" Gray muttered.
"Apparently the storm allowed you two plenty of time to bond." Sting snorted. "Where you trying to keep the lizard warm, Knight?" he asked. Natsu head butted the other, sending him flying back into a tree.
Rogue was instantly between the pair. "Sting cool it. We are only here to retrieve you." Erza came walking out of the woods. She had gone to check her traps, evident by the many carcasses she had over her shoulder.
"We will leave once we get the wood stored." She told the dark dragon. She handed her haul to the light haired ice mage. Ur came back from the area where they washed dishes.
"See, I told you it wouldn't be long." She smiled. They all unloaded Natsu. The shifter didn't bother transforming. Once everything was set, Gray got their belongings. He leapt agily to the dragons back. Erza joined him.
Sting led the way. His white dragon teasing the shadow beside him. The others could see him swirling around the dark body. Every so often he looked back at Natsu. 'You should try it with a dragon. Fucking and flying is a lot of fun' he snorted.
Natsu knew he could telepathically communicate with all other dragons. He also knew it was only when they were both in dragon form. He ignored the teasing of the other. Unless he told him, Gray wouldn't know what the other was saying.
The morning wore on. The three dragons landed at the school just after lunch. Mavis had food ready for them. She let them eat before giving them the good news. "We have housing for all of you!" She cried happily. A short old man wobbled up beside her.
"This is Gramps, as most of the students call him. He is the dragon Guild master." She explained.
"We built you your own residence." He stated in a cagy old voice.
"Built? Where have you guys been staying?" Natsu turned to look at Sting and Rogue.
"No one in these woods would mess with a dragon. We just stayed in that form." Sting shrugged. Natsu looked impressed. He hadn't liked staying in the dragon form any longer than necessary. It took more to fill him, he tired and grew hungry quicker, plus people liked to bother him in his dragon form. He turned away.
"Stop pouting." Gray smirked.
"Let us show you." Gramps stated. He led the way to the very edge of the forest. There sat twin houses. They weren't very big and faced each other like sentinels protecting the path into the woods.
"That is exactly why we placed them there. Who could sneak past a dragon?" Mavis smiled when Natsu voiced this.
"Sting, Rogue yours is the left one. Natsu..." Natsu looked over them apprehensively.
"Don't you think putting me that close to the forest, in a wooden house, isn't a good idea?" he asked looking away. He didn't want to sound ungrateful.
"We did think of that. Both houses are fire proof. We also treated the trees for a mile inside. Our potion mage worked hard to make sure you would be well cared for." Mavis grinned.
"We will let you get settled now." Gramps stated. He tucked Mavis' arm into his and took her back up to the main building.
Gray led the way to Natsu and his home. Inside it was warm. There was a nice fire going in the fire place. The living room was round with built in couch and book cases surrounding the outside. Cushions of a variety of color covered this. In front of them was a nice kitchen. Small though it was, it would be fine for them. They had a table that could host four people. The sides were currently folded down and only two chairs faced it. There was a twisting spiral staircase that led up to a loft.
The loft was spacious. One king-sized bed filled one side. There were two dressers each beside a closet. In-between was another door that Gray discovered led to a bathroom.
"Do they plan on us sleeping together?" Natsu asked eyeing the bed.
"I think, because of the mark, they didn't think it was an issue." Gray stated.
"Are you OK with it?" Natsu wondered. Gray drew in a breath, letting it out slowly.
"As long as you don't steal the covers." He grinned trying to lighten the mood.
"I don't always use covers." Natsu muttered. He looked down into the room bow. Honestly he would have been fine sleeping on the hearth.
"I get the left side!" Gray rushed to claim it. Natsu snickered. They unpacked their bags into the dresser and closet. They discovered tablets with their schedule on it sitting on a long table like desk under the window. School would begin the very next day.
