A Dragons Heart
After the events of Edolas, the members of Fairy Tail were looking forward to relaxing and enjoying some peace and quiet. However...
"Hey! Put some clothes on pervert!" A cherry blossom haired boy roared as he leapt through the air towards a half naked black haired boy. "Make me slanty eyes!" he retorted as he readied himself for the impending attack.
"Natsu! Gray! Knock it off!" a scarlet haired beauty demanded, her brown eyes cold and menacing. Both boys froze in their tracks, the pair of them as white as sheets.
"Aye sir!" they exclaimed in unison and tried, unconvincingly, to make out they were really good friends.
"If you two ate more fish you wouldn't fight so much" a blue Exceed proclaimed with a mouth full of fish.
"That's just stupid, even by your standards Happy" a young blonde girl said in disbelieve.
"Crudely put but Lucy is correct. Fish isn't the solution to everything Happy". Oblivious to her mockery Happy approached the white Exceed with a fish wrapped in a big red bow, "Here Carla, want a fish?"
"A man doesn't want fish!" A tall, muscular white haired man shouted, raising both fists in the air like he had said something truly philosophical and worthy of praise. "SHUT UP!" Natsu and Gray shouted in unison as they both swung their fists towards the fool. Landing their blows, Elfman was sent flying across the guild hall towards Lucy and the two Exceeds were sitting. Lucy quickly jumped out of harms way and while complimenting her own finely tuned reflexes, crashed into Gray. The pair feel to the floor with Lucy smothering Gray's face with her ample chest.
Holding her head in pain Lucy looked up to see a tall bluenette staring angrily at her, "LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia growled as she unleashed water slicer toward Lucy. Soon the entire guild hall was in a free for all. Tables were smashed, chairs were thrown in every direction, shouts and screams could be heard by the citizens of Magnolia.
"WILL YOU BRATS SETTLE DOWN!" A booming voice rang out across the hall as a large fist came flying down from above. Natsu looked up just in time to see the fist heading in his direction, "Eh?!". He couldn't move in time and the bolder sized fist slammed him into the ground. The guild fell silent, standing above them on the second floor was the guild's Master. Makarov.
He's eyes glowed a bright yellow as he stared at the unconscious pink haired boy below him. "Natsu, why are you always causing trouble? Why are you always fighting with your nakama?".
An deflated wimper was his only response, "NATSU!" the old man shouted. "Excuse me, Master? He's unconscious" Mirajane interrupted, however this seemed to annoy Makarov even further.
"Impotent brat! How dare you fall unconscious while I'm yelling at you!"
"You are the one that hit him, Master"
"That's no excuse!"
Gray stood up and looked down at Natsu, "Gramps does have a point. Why is he always starting fights? For as long as I've known him he's always been highly strung". Lucy was dusting herself off, "Well maybe...", her sentenced was cut short as she spotted a pair a dark blue eyes, peeking over Grays shoulder, piercing into her soul, "Love rival!" Juvia growled. Erza chimed in, "It's strange we've known Natsu for a long time but we've never really questioned his motives and behaviour before." There was a long pause while Erza seemed to be contemplating the implications, "It's all my fault! Natsu is a member of Fairy Tail just like the rest of us and I've neglected his emotional needs and so have allowed whatever burdens him to fester". Gray and Lucy both looked dumbstruck as they tried to take on board what Erza had said.
"Well that was dramatic. Couldn't it just be something as simple as he's an idiot who can only solve things by fighting?"
"That's a little unfair Gray. How many times has he saved you from doing something stupid"
"No where near as often as he's done something stupid"
Erza rushed over to Natsu and pulled his head into her chest. A loud thud echoed throughout the hall as he struck her armour. "Hard..." Natsu murmured.
The guild hall doors opened and a white haired girl walked in carrying a box, "Oh Natsu, what have you done this time?" Her bright blue eyes immediately fixated on Natsu. Her heart started beating faster, causing her to blush slightly. This had not escaped the notice of her older sister, Mira, who simply gave a knowing smile to Lisanna before returning to her duties.
Lisanna walked over to Natsu and Erza, "Whatever am I going to do with you Natsu?", she smiled brightly as she gazed at him. "Welcome back Lisanna." Erza said as she stood up, dropping Natsu onto the floor, "How did it go?". Lisanna handed the box she had been carrying to Erza, "I checked to make sure it was the right one for you Erza" she beamed. Erza opened the box, "I'm grateful to you Lisanna. I would have gone myself but I had other things to take care off."
Inside the box was a beautifully decorated strawberry cake. There were stars in Erza's eyes as she stared in wonder at the cake. Natsu shot up suddenly, "Oh man! That smells great. I'm starving". Gray was infuriated, "Are you serious? You cause all this and all you can do is talk about food?"
Natsu looked at Gray, a confused expression on his face, "Huh? What are you talking about? What happened?"
Lucy and Gray fell to the floor. He really had forgotten what had go on just moments before. Lisanna laughed as she stared at Natsu's innocent features. He really was still that same sweet boy she remembered from her childhood. "Oh hey Lisanna. When did you get here?" Natsu asked, "I've been here awhile Natsu, I just gave Erza her cake", she replied slightly annoyed. Natsu stared blankly for awhile before a big grin spread across his face.
