He held it in.
The pain.
The humiliation.
His true emotions.
He hid it all.
To anyone, he might seem to be a happy-go-lucky boy. Lived a normal life and had plenty of friends. But the reality was far from it.
Natsu was a boy of 17 with beautiful shades of pink hair that was usually covered by a hood if he could help it and beautiful onyx orbs. Natsu lived in a foster home. Abandoned by his parents Natsu grew up in a place that a child should never set foot in. Throughout his entire life, all that Natsu ever known was being forced to do thing he didn't want to do.
Forced to hide his emotions.
Forced to grow up faster, Natsu had almost forgotten what it was like to be a kid. almost. What it actually meant to have a normal life. Hidden deep inside himself, the innocence of a kid lurked within, unknown to him. Unable to come out.
Natsu sighed to himself as he stood in front of Fairytail High. Already having lost count of how many schools he transferred to, Natsu wasn't looking forward to another school. 'Hmmm. I wonder how it will be.' Natsu mused to himself before walking towards the door.
'oh no you don't. you bastard' A hand gripped Natsu's hood and pulled him back. Natsu staggered backwards. He looked at the man next to him. Natsu didn't say anything but waited for the man to start walking. 'know you're place you piece of shit!' the man spat at Natsu before walking inside the school.
Without another word, Natsu followed the man inside the school. 'god, this place is cold. Cant you warm it up a bit?' the man asked. Natsu shook his head. Then realizing that the man could not see him, Natsu said ' im afraid I cant Midnight-sama, I do not have the permission to do so.' Midnight tsked but didn't say anything and kept on walking.
*knock knock*
'come in' a voice called from inside the room. Midnight and Natsu went inside the room. ' ah, you must be the new student' Natsu tore his gaze away from the painting on the wall and focused on the source of the voice.
Sitting at the table was an old man that looked about to be in his late 60s. 'come sit down' the man said as he gestured towards the seats in front of him. Natsu sat down with Midnight to the left of him. 'Im Makarov Dreyer. The principle of Fairytail High.' The old man introduced himself.
'im Midnight, guardian of Natsu Dragneel' Midnight introduced both himself and Natsu. ' Natsu is a bit deaf so you have to speak a bit louder.' Midnight continued with a smirk that was none too friendly. Natsu frowned at midnight. though it went unnoticed by midnight, Makarov's keen eyesight caught the frown.
'I see…. Anyways, Natsu, you're going to start you're classes from today onwards' Makarov spoke.' You may leave him in my care' Makarov gestured towards the door. Midnight took the sign and left. But not without a few parting words for Natsu.
'Tonight get ready...' The whispered words sent a shiver down Natsu's spine.
After midnight left, Makarov turned his attention towards Natsu. 'So Natsu, while you're here in Fairytail high, this place will be like you're home and everyone will be like you're family. And since you're new here, you will be needing someone to show you the ropes. Here's your new timetable.' Makarov gave Natsu a piece of paper
1st period: English
2nd period: Magic
3rd period: Gym
4th period: Lunch
5th period: Art
6th period: History
7th period: free
It was like that for the rest of the week
'ok, Gray will be here to show you around' Makarov spoke snapping Natsu out of his thoughts. 'so, you have to wait a few minutes for him to come, and don't mind his lack of clothing.' Natsu didn't mind staying in the room. It was comfortable and made Natsu think of his past. Natsu laid his head on the table cocooned by his arms and felt himself sinking to darkness.
