Chapter 3

When we get up the next morning we come up with our next plan and what to tell the guild. "We can't really use the same excuse after all they have never been training together before," I say out loud. 

"Yeah they have but it was while we worked at the council so..." Lily cuts off. 

"No one would believe us would they?" I ask him. He shook his head agreeing with me. We sat thinking for a little while Lily eating a kiwi and I was eating a fish. "We could say we are all four going on a trip to some library and we could go to Sabertooth for a day or two?" I suggest. 

"Yes, that's perfect then we can come back saying we got bored. Everyone knows Gajeel will do anything Levy says and she could stay for months!" he beamed at me. 

"Great! Then lets pack and I need to stop by Lucy's apartment to pay the landlady. Then we can go." I jumped up and we both started packing up our things. We had thankfully thought to pack a bunch of Lily's things before the sleepover yesterday so his stuff was here already. I get into my secret stash of jewels and get enough for the next two months of rent plus a little for spending money with Lily. I also grab the silence charm it was just a little slip of paper but it was supposed to keep all sound inside it's area. 

We fly to the apartment and see them through the window they are very awake and enjoying each others company I go inside through the doorway relieved that I can't hear them from outside. I go to Lucy's door and slip the charm under the door and then go downstairs to the landlady. I tell her that we are going on a trip and will be gone for a while. I hand her two months rent telling her as such and she nods and thanks me. 

Lily and I then go to the guild and tell Mira that Lily and I were going with Gajeel and Levy to some library and didn't know how long we would be gone. I wink at Carla before offering her a fish. She just smiles and shakes her head no. But she is still smiling I think to myself as Lily and I fly off to the train station. We get to the station just as the train heading for the Sabertooth guild. We boarded the training chatting happily together as we did. We even took a little cat nap on the way there. 

When we woke up, we found that we still had another hour to go. We stretched and asked for a bit of ice cream from the train's food car much to their surprise they hadn't realized we were Exceeds until we flew up to order. They gave us our order and we paid before going back to our seats. 

"Maybe Lector and Frosch could use our help getting their dragon slayers mated too?" I ask Lily. 

He nodded before answering, "Maybe." We then finish our ice creams and stretched out on the seats. 

When we arrived we went directly to see our friends who of course were with their dragon slayer partners. "Where is Natsu?" asked an excited Sting. 

"And Gajeel?" added Rogue.

"They aren't with us we came by ourselves today." I groan we don't have to be attached to them all the time, I think to myself.

"We wanted to come and see Lector and Frosch!" Lily added a little loudly, I guess he is peeved too. 

"Oh..." Sting and Rogue replied together obviously disappointed. 

"What's up?" Lector asked us looking between the two of us.

"We wanted to have an Exceed only day so we thought we would invite you two with us." Lily explained calmly eyeing the two dragon slayers behind them. I nodded my head in agreement. 

"Frosch thinks so too!" Frosch added. Lector looked back at Sting and Rogue who shrugged and nodded. 

"Great then it's settled! Let's go!" I cheer while taking off into the air. Lector looked back at Sting before following and Frosch just followed behind Lily. We played some tag in the air before leading them to the park well outside of either Sting or Rogue's hearing distance before turning on them Lily and I crossed our arms and stared at them. 

"What?" asked nervously. 

"We have been setting up our dragon slayers with their mates and we wanted to know if you wanted us to help with Sting and Rogue?" Lily answered him with the question. 

Lector sighed in relief, "Yes, they are driving me crazy!"

"Frosch thinks so too!" Frosch agrees. 

"Do you two know what happens when they find a mate?" I ask them. They shook their heads and I explained it to them. When I finished, I asked, "Do you know who their mates are?" 

Frosch looked at Lector nodding his head and Lector answered for them both, "Each other." He glared at us as if ready to fight. 

"Yippy!" I jump up in the air doing a victory fist bump. "Two at once, this is going to be great!" 

Lily nodded his head in agreement and rubbed his chin. "Now how to start? We can't do them the same way we did Natsu or Gajeel." 

"You already finished with your partners?" Lector asked.

"Yeah, Natsu we only needed to cover for him with the guild so no one went looking for him or Lucy and Gajeel and Levy we spent the evening with and we gave the guild their cover this morning." I say.

"They took about half a day each." Lily added.

"Maybe you can get it done then because they won't listen to us at all." Lector complained. Then we spent the next couple hours coming up with a plan. 

"Do we all understand what we are doing?" Lily asked us all.

"Aye sir!" I exclaimed and Lily simply smiled, nodding. 

"Yes!" Lector answered.

"Frosch thinks so too!" Frosch added.

"Great let's go!" Lily took charge and we all went flying.

When we had everything ready we met back at the park. "So are we ready?" Lily asked.

"Sting and Rogue are tailing us as we speak," Lector answered quietly with a grin. 

"Frocsh thinks so too!" Frocsh added. Sometimes I wonder if he ever says anything else. 

"Great!" Lily shouted and we all jump up doing a group high five cheering as we did. Then we go flying to our destinations with a confused Sting and Rogue following us. 

It didn't take long for us to get to the first place and that was a dog park as much as we all hated it. But the best place for Sting and Rogue to hide was across the street at the romantic cafe to watch us. So now is as good a time as any for us to get over our 'fear' of dogs. We fought off the dogs for what felt like hours until we realized that the two slayers had finally sat down and the dogs were actually pretty nice. I will never ever tell Lisanna or Lucy that. We were actually laughing and taking care of the dogs when Lector gave us the signal that the men were relaxed. Even Frosch was a giggling mess playing with an extra tiny puppy who was licking our paws. 

Once a good amount of time had passed we decided it was time to leave. We had set the cafe up to serve them a couple sweets and drinks already paid for. By now they should be pleasantly sated and relaxed. We head to our next destination, the lake near the couples park. We sat fishing for a couple hours with them walking around so as to not attract too much attention. Our plan was going quite well if you ask me. We caught some fish and had our lunch and took a short cat nap right there in the sun. 

I looked over with nearly closed eyes to see Sting and Rogue smiling and chatting and wait a minute did I see them holding hands. Sting and Rogue had a slight blush on their cheeks as they walked around only glancing at us every now and again just to make sure we were still there. 

When we got up and stretched we decided it was time for the home stretch; a movie and then dinner. We slowly head over to the movie theater and buy our tickets for some romcom that none of us actually wanted to see hoping for the best. As we were entering the screening room I saw them at the counter asking for whatever movie we went to. I can't help the smile on my face as I closed the door behind us.

"This is going great!" I whisper excitedly at the others. 

"Frosch thinks so too!" Frosch answered while Lector and Lily grinned and smiled. 

"Let's get our seats, remember we have to be in the front!" Lector announced like it was news. It was just in time we were still in the air when Sting and Rogue entered so they could see us as we were taking our seats. About half way through the movie I sneak a glance back between our seats to see how it is going. Sure enough I see them both laughing just like everyone else and I definitely see them holding hands and I even see Rogue lay his head on Sting's shoulder. I grin and give the others a thumbs up. We actually enjoyed the movie quite a bit. 

When it was done we flew up in the air, laughing as we left the room and slowly made our way to the exit giving the two slayers enough time to catch up and stay relaxed. Once outside we pretended to debate about where to eat until they could clearly hear us. We finally decided to go to a cheap little diner on the edge of town and eat outside. Leaving them only the option of a really fancy place next door. We had already ordered ahead and paid just like we had at the cafe. They had to buy their own movie tickets but otherwise we had them all set and if they got anything extra of course they had to buy that as well. 

When we arrive we enjoy our food and even play on the little outdoor play area they had set up for kids. I could see Sting and Rogue staring into each others eyes holding hands as they ate. I also saw many people glare angrily at them but they walked away. We had it arranged with the wait staff to make sure their date was uninterupted at least for today. The ladies in particular thought we were super sweet to arrange a date for our friends without them knowing and happily agreed dragging the reluctant men with them. When the ladies made a point of the fact that the two hottest guys in town were gay meant all the men had a much better chance with the pretty ladies they had smiled and agreed sheepishly. 

As we saw their date coming to an end we added a small extra detour by the beach there was nothing nearby and we just laid on the sand and looked up at the pretty sunset. We chatted and truth be told I know I had a lot of fun and I'm sure they did to. 

"We should do these kinds of things more often,' I sigh smiling.

"Frosch thinks so too!" Frosch added and Lily and Lector laughed agreeing. We continued laying there until the sun was long gone and watched as the stars lit up the sky. 

I pointed out all the stars that I had learned from Lucy. They listened awed by what I knew and I taught it to them as well, even showing them how to tell what time it is using the stars. We just laid there watching the stars and I sneaked a glance at Sting and Rogue to be rewarded with seeing them engaged in a kiss. Well it definitely took longer than either Natsu or Gajeel but to be fair we had to do it at more of a distance than before. I smile and say really loudly, "I could just fall asleep here." This was the last part of our plan. 

"Don't worry Yukino and Kagura said we could all stay at their house tonight!' Lector cheered loud enough that there was no way Sting or Rogue could say they didn't hear, Frosch nodded rubbing his eyes standing up just waking up.

"What about Sting and Rogue won't they be worried?" Lily asked reciting his lines. 

"Nah, by now they would have seen the note I left at home saying we would be staying there," Lector puffed out his chest exaggerating with his acting. 

"Cool!" I say and we all get up to follow them to the girls house until we were sure that Sting and Rogue had stopped tailing us. 

Then we backtracked to their place. We found them reading the 'note' Lector had left laughing at how silly they had been. Just when I thought they were only going to laugh they attacked each others lips kissing as deeply as they possibly could.    (BL nsfw scene to follow)

Sting and Rogue were hungry and they didn't hesitate when it came to each other. Sting started undressing Rogue slowly as if trying not to startle him out of their kiss. Rogue growled and pulled away much to Sting's disappointment. Rogue took off his own clothes and grabbed Sting roughly surprising him. 

"Rogue?" Sting questioned enjoying this new side of him. 

Rogue stripped off Stings clothes thankful that his jacket was always open and he never wore a shirt. "Mine," Rouge muttered as he began sucking on a very tender part of Sting's neck. 

"Yes," Sting moaned stretching to let Rogue have better access. They slowly made their way to the bedroom discarding unwanted clothes as they went. They no longer had anything on by the time they made it to the bed. "Wait." Sting growled just before Rogue could bite him, earning a growl and whimper from the dark man. 

"I want us to be equal. The first time we both have to cum inside each other." Sting hissed already feeling the pressure to thrust inside of him. Rogue smiled and nodded kissing him gently before biting into his neck. Sting moaned out and an echo seemed to be created in the small bedroom. 

We watched as Sting lifted his legs around Rogues waist and Rogue pushed inside of him. I almost didn't see them put any oily stuff on each other. Rogue slid in as if this was where he was meant to be. When he finally released Sting's neck they started moving rapidly. After an hour or so of them moaning and kissing and thrusting Sting grabbed himself hissing. Earning a growl from Rogue. "Not yet," Rogue warned Sting nodding as they switched positions. Sting now on his hands and knees with Rogue behind him. "Do you want me?" Rogue teased him. 

"Yes," Sting moaned barely able to contain himself. Rogue called out as he thrusted some more and freezing until he collapsed. Sting was not done he was determined to do just as his mate had. He turned Rogue over and bit into his neck just as Rogue had done him and thrusted into him. It did not take nearly as long but to be fair he had been holding it as long as he could, thanks to Rogue.

When we were sure the two men had passed out I went and checked their marks. They were identical a black and white swirl like a sun with black and white beams coming out of it. I wonder if Natsu and Gajeel will have a mark on their necks as well or if only the Lucy and Levy will? 

We fly silently out of the house and when we were far enough away we all high fived. "Thank you both so much!" Lector bowed and Frosch followed suit. Lily and I just smiled at them and congratulated them on finally having happy partners. 

"We better hurry if we are going to catch the last train back to Magnolia." Lily confirmed my suspicions I nodded in understanding.

"Why don't you stay the night here?" Lector asked shocked we were leaving. 

"I plan on studying transformation magic like Lily and Carla did and I need to be somewhere familiar to do it. Less stress and I'll be more likely to succeed." I tell them. Lily just nodded, he was going to help train me and help me make a surprise for Natsu and Lucy. 

"Well, okay then. Please be safe and when we meet again let's hang out like today." He smiled at us. We nod and they fly with us to the train station. We continue to wave from the train until they are out of sight. We curled up together ready to sleep the best way possible, with a friend. 

We wake up in the middle of the night to a girl screaming checking the cars. I look up at her and groan. "Do all girls scream to wake people up?" I look at Lily who shrugged. 

"You can talk?" the dumb girl asked. 

"We are Exceeds," I growl at her. "Are we in Magnolia yet?" I'm still groggy as I try to rub the sleep out of my eyes. 

"We will arrive in about five minutes. I am so sorry for startling you awake." At least the girl had some manners. I nod and look over at Lily and we both stretch. The girl leaves us still pink in the face from embarrassment.

"I wonder what all that was about?" I ask Lily who shrugged. 

When the train stopped we got off and made our way to mine and Natsu's house. We fell into a deep sleep once we got there.
