"Natsu!"
All Natsu had time to register was a flash of blond curls barrelling through the crowd before a pair of arms were wrapped around his waist. Then Sting was looking up at him with his bright blue eyes and a gap-toothed smile.
"Look! I losted a tooth 'cause I'm six now and big!" Sting opened his mouth wider to show Natsu. Then he turned and grabbed Rogue's hand, pulling them closer. "Rogue didn't yet but they're still five. Orga saided my sharp teeths was fangs and they're gonna fall out too but I tolded him no 'cause that's my dragon teeths." He poked at one of his pointy incisors and grinned at Natsu proudly.
"You're right about that," Natsu reassured Sting, crouching down in front of him. The anxiety he'd been carrying around since the Games lifted a little when Sting threw his arms around Natsu's neck and hugged him tightly. He pressed a kiss to Sting's curls, holding him tightly for a second before reaching out to Rogue. They sidled up for a shy hug, then shuffled back to Gray and leaned against his leg.
"I was six yesterday," Sting said proudly as he pulled back from Natsu. "It was my birthday."
