I ran and ran trying to get as far away as possible. I kept running until I collided with someone knocking both of us to the ground.

"Ow" I heard Sting's voice say I looked and saw Sting lying on the ground gripping his head.

"Natsu?" He asked surprised to see me

"Sting what are you doing here?" I asked catching my breath I stood up offering Sting my hand he accepted it.

"N-natsu I did something really stupid" Sting said panting heavily

"Same" I said holding back the tears

"Can we go back to your house and talk about it?" Sting asked I shook my head "we can't go back right now"

"Then where can we go?" Sting asked desperation evident on his face

"Umm....we...um" I said trying to think

"Come back to my house" I heard a voice from behind me say

"Laxus?" Sting asked confused

"We all need to talk. We can't go to Natsu's house, we can't go to the guild and we can't stay out here so my house is the only option" Laxus said

I looked at Natsu and we both nodded in agreement we then followed Laxus back to his house. We walked in silence all of us to upset to talk.

Once we arrived at my house I led Sting and Natsu to the living room were we sat down. Silence descended upon us.

Until Sting asked "So who wants to go first?"

I sighed I hesitated for a second then said "I marked Freed" but Natsu and Sting had both said

"I marked Gray"

"I marked Rogue"

At the same time as me

We looked at each other. We didn't speak all of us to shocked.

"What are we going to do?" Sting said tugging at his hair.

"I don't know" I mumbled we had all messed up.

Dragon Slayers weren't supposed to mark there mates without their consent. A mate is supposed to remain with you for life and now that we've all marked our mates they have no choice but to be with us forever.

I had ruined Freed's life.

Natsu opened his mouth and said "What did you do...you know after...you marked them?"

"....I ran I just left Rogue unconscious" Sting admitted guiltily

"I did the same thing to Freed he's unconscious on the streets" I said trying to block out the horrid memory.

"Glad I'm not the only one who ran away" Natsu said letting out a sigh

"We need to talk to them we can't just leave them alone especially in the state they're in" I said thinking logically

Sting and Natsu nodded in agreement and after awhile we all left to find our newly marked mates.

I walked around trying to sniff out Freed's scent. It smelt different because it was now mixed with mine. I finally caught it and ran towards it. Freed was in the same place I had left him he was just waking up

"Freed?" I said sitting next to him

"Laxus?" He asked confused "What is this?" He questioned gesturing towards the mark on his neck where I had bitten him. It was forming a glistening golden mark on Fred's neck.

"I marked you Freed" I said simply

"What?" He said confused

"Freed me and the other dragon slayers are going through mating season and you... are my mate..." I said trailing off

Freed sat in silence letting it all sink in. His silence was killing me

"Freed listen I'm so sorry I shouldn't have marked you without your consent it's just I've like you for a long time and I couldn't resist y-" I apologised but was cut off by Freed saying

"You like me" he gasped

"Yeah of course" I said as if it was obvious

"When? What? Why?" Freed asked still very confused he continued to ramble and I thought of a way to shut him up.

So I pulled up his chin and kissed him passionately he kissed back and I gasped happily "I love you Freed"

I ran back to my house hoping Gray was still there. I flung open the door and yelled "Gray?" I followed his scent which was now mixed with mine.

He was standing in my room pulling his shirt back on "Natsu?" He said spinning around

"Gray listen I'm so sorry I just really like you I shouldn't have marked you I've just liked you for a long time I know it's pointless you will never love me back" I said bowing my head in shame.

I suddenly I felt Gray punch me "Hey what the hell was that for?" I asked angrily hissing in pain I gripped my jaw where he had punched me

"You don't get to choose how I feel Flame-Brain if I like you that's my choice" Gray said back angrily

I looked at him shocked "Did you just say you liked me?" I asked

"So what..." Gray said turning away I light blush decorating his cheeks

I could t believe it Gray Fullbuster liked me. HE ACTUALLY LIKED ME.

"I...I....I" I said not knowing what to say

"What is this marking thing you talked about?" Gray asked curiously

"It's a dragon slayer thing we're all going through mating season and we have to find our mates then mark them and then we stay with each other forever." I told him

A few moments passed then Gray said teasingly "looks like I'm stuck with you pyro"

"So is this the mark?" Gray asked gesturing to the crimson mark decorating his neck I nodded

"It's beautiful" Gray gasped

I looked at him and grinned he then jumped at me pulling me into a kiss

"I love you Gray"

I needed Sting. I had never needed to be near to him. "Sting" I whined I was desperate I looked to the mark on my neck.

The silver mark glistened on my neck. He had marked me as his mate he liked me back.

But what if he didn't? He ran away because he didn't like me he regretted. Oh God what am I going to do?

I craved Sting's presence more than anything this wouldn't stop unless I marked him as my mate. Why did he have to do this to me?

I got up and started walking. With every step the longing became more and more desperate. I needed him but I couldn't go to him.

I walked back through the streets that only a few hours ago Sting and I were walking together. "Rogue?" I heard Sting's voice yell I spun around and saw him running towards me

It took all of my self control to stop myself from running to him, to grab him and to mark him back but I couldn't so I turned the other way and started to run.

I ran but Sting had always been faster than me he caught up and tackled me to the ground.

As his hands reached around my waist I let out a moan. I needed him to touch me but I couldn't he didn't love me he regretted marking me.

"Let go" I said trying to push him off but I needed him to be near me.

"Not until you listen to me" he said stubbornly

He got off of me but as soon as we lost contact I let out a pathetic whine and chased the touch. "Rogue are you okay?" He asked confused by my odd behaviour

"Why did you have to do this to me?" I cried near tears

"I'm sorry Rog-" he tried to say but I cut him off

"This won't stop until I mark you back" I whined

"Rogue what are you talking about?" He asked

"I'm a dragon slayer too Sting in case you forgot I need to mark my mate I can't resist it for much longer" I said my legs going weak underneath me.

I fell to the ground in a whimpering mess. "Sting please" I begged

"Rogue what's wrong?" He said sitting next to me and pulling me onto his lap I groaned at the contact.

"Just mark your mate Rogue I will be okay I promise I can deal with you rejecting me I just hate seeing you like this" Sting said stroking my hair.

I hugged him tighter then stared at his neck I couldn't resist the urge any longer I bit down on Sting's neck finally marking him as my mate.

I pulled back and pushed myself off of Sting "Oh god Sting I'm sorry I'm so so sorry"

"Rogue?" He gasped shock feeling the glimmering Black mark on his neck

"I'm sorry Sting it's just I've loved you since we were kids please don't hate me" I rambled

"Rogue I love you too" Sting cried "we're both so stupid how did I not realise I'm supposed to be your best friend"

I looked up at him tears were in his eyes. Sting stared at me then pulled me into a kiss.

"I love you Sting"
