Nothing Accidental About Love (NALU)

Chapter 11 Part 1

Lucy's POV
Natsu and I came up with a plan to get Levy and Gajeel together. We had to use Warren though to get ahold of Levy. Thankfully Warren can let us talk without listening in.

'Levy, do you want to be Gajeel's mate?' I had asked her.

'Well, yeah but he doesn't like me like that.' I could hear the sadness in her voice.

I quickly tell her about the mating process. All the information that she would need like taming his dragon to the biting. I then tell her that Gajeel is on his way to my house to ask Natsu for permission.

'But I thought, he hated me? He always calls me shrimp and things?' she seemed really confused.

'Levy, I think he is trying to push you away, to make you hate him.'

'Why?'

'Do you remember how you two met?' I was starting to get irritated. Why else would he want her to hate him? I think to myself.

'Yeah but that was different!'

'He doesn't see it that way. Dragons are noble creatures they have something of an honor system, once it's broken there is no going back. Levy,' I pause before, 'you only get one chance.'

It took her a minute of silence before, 'I want that chance.'

'Do you understand you will become pregnant? There is no way out of it.' I ask her to be certain.

'I want to go on a date, I want to at least try.'

I smile to myself Natsu and I are already almost home, 'Good then come to my house, I will keep the link open so you can hear and see everything' I tell her. I can almost just see her nod as I hear her 'hmmph'

Natsu lays me down and purrs putting our babies in their own bed. His sweet tenderness still so beautiful to 'watch'. I'm still in the light hibernating state but I can pretty much still see everything from his point of view. I can see it through his eyes.

I want to sigh out loud to close our bedroom doors and pull my mate to me. I want to feel his love for me as I hold him tight. Damn it all now I'm horny but it has to wait until we are done with Gajeel and Levy. I think I can 'wake up' by then. Mavis knows once I sink my claws and teeth into him he won't be able to leave for a while. I smile content for now with my plan.

"Can I ask Levy to be my mate?" I watch through the link Natsu and I share. I can feel that Levy is almost here and that she is listening closely to everything that is being said. Good girl I think to myself.

"Gajeel, what if she says yes?" I hear Natsu ask. Oops I wasn't paying attention but that's okay I can sense that Levy had been and she is the one that really matters.

"Gajeel, Levy is Lucy's best friend." Natsu starts to lecture him. "If you did anything to hurt her, Lucy would tear you to pieces. I mean it don't take this lightly. Lucy would do anything and everything to make your life a living hell if anything happened to Levy. I need to know can you really have to consequences." Natsu is right the thought of him hurting my best friend was really to much for me to think about. I could almost feel my canines growing even while hibernating.

"I have a suggestion, ask Levy on a date, a normal human date first. Then come back to me with your answer and I will give you mine," Natsu has gotten really good at giving advice I notice. I smirk thinking about the memory I saw of him when he talked to Grey. Yeah my mate has really gotten good at this. Only natural since he is so good at it himself.

"What if she said no?" he asked. I want to face palm Gajeel your an idiot! I want to scream but I don't both Natsu and Levy would hear due to the magic and I didn't want to distract her from what was being said. She was almost hear just waiting outside the kitchen door afraid to enter the house in case Gajeel heard her.
