This is a society where humans coexist with vampires. But over time, vampires became only a myth to humans and their existence is rarely known or heard of in this age. A secret organization called The Council is responsible in monitoring the remaining vampires and make sure they obey laws and do not step out of line.

Rain poured down heavily on the midnight streets as a pink-haired young man ran along the pathway, futilely covering his head with his bag. Natsu was on his way home from his part time job at a Pizza joint nearby when rain suddenly started to pour. To add-on to his unlucky journey, he tripped on something laying on the roadside and fell face first on the cold hard floor.

"Damn! Who the hell puts their garbage on the side of the road?!" he cursed as he rubbed his injured face and checked for any other scratches. He was about to kick the so-called garbage in frustration when he heard a small whimper which halted his leg. With the help of the flickering street lights he noticed that the garbage shifted under his gaze, it took a few seconds before he realized that it was actually a cardboard covering a mop of raven hair.

"What the?! You alright kid?" he asked as he kneeled down to have a better look at the new acquaintance. He came face to face with a raven haired boy who wore tattered clothes which were soaking wet now and had only one shoe on. He looked like he has been on the streets for a couple of days.

The boy hugged his legs tighter at the sight of the other. "I'm s-sorry…" the boy stuttered in the cold.

Natsu scratched his head at the scene, unsure of what to do. He suddenly picked up the boy bridal style and tried to cover him with his bag. The boy gave a yelp at the sudden action and started to struggle with whatever strength he had left. "Stop moving or I'm gonna drop you! You prefer soaking in the rain?" Natsu said as he started running home again. The exhausted boy could do nothing but stay still in his arms, he instinctively snuggled closer to the other's chest to gain more warmth for his cold body and hoped that it was the right decision to trust the sudden stranger, not that he had a choice.

"Lucy is going to kill me" Natsu sweatdropped at the thought as he ran through the rain.

15 minutes of running later

"Lucy! Open the door!" Natsu shouted outside his apartment. The sound of a chair shifting can be heard as his housemate shouted a reply "Again?! You can stay outside until you learn to not forget your keys!"

"What! I didn't forget my keys! Just open the goddamn door Luce!"

A sighed was heard before the door clicked open. "Did you lose your hands or somethi – Holy! Natsu what did you do?!" Lucy exclaimed as she saw her housemate but not because of how soaking wet he is but at the bundle of mess in his arms.

Natsu ignored her shouts as he kicked off his shoes and quickly stepped into the room and put the boy gently on the couch. "At least dry your feet!" Lucy scolded as she closed the door and followed him into the living room. "Oh my God Natsu! Did you kidnapped a kid this time?!" she shouted as she realized what her housemate had brought back.

"Calm down Lucy! And no, I found him on the streets. And I think he has been like that for a few days." Natsu said as he eyed the boy who was miraculously still asleep through all the shouting.

"So you brought him back?" Lucy started pulling off the boy's soaking shirt and took off his one shoe

"He was soaking wet Luce, I can't just leave him there." Natsu reasoned "and what are you doing?"

"I'm changing his clothes. He's gonna catch a cold like this if he hasn't already" Lucy proceeded to take off the boy's dirty pants.

"Pervert Lucy" Natsu snickered. A wet pair of pants smacked him in the face. "You do it then! He's your responsibility anyway since you brought him here" Lucy crossed her arms in protest.

"Hey! I was just joking" Natsu peeled the wet pants off his face

"Go get me some towels and wash the clothes!" Lucy commanded

"Aye!"

After pat-drying the boy and Natsu done with his bath, the two sat opposite of the boy who was now wrapped in towels and still asleep. Luckily the boy didn't develop a fever, but his body was still very cold.

"When do you think he is going to wake up?" Natsu said impatiently.

"Let him get some rest, he was on the streets for God knows how long. We don't even know did he eat something in the last 24 hours" Lucy massaged her temples. All this was giving her a headache, she knew there was a probability that Natsu would bring back another one after all the commotion he had caused last month by bringing back a stray cat. But she never thought it would be a child. The boy looked like only 3 to 4 years old, she frowned at the thought of what the boy might have gone through at such a young age.

The two could only watch and wait for the boy to wake up for further answers. But they never thought that what Natsu brought back was more than just a boy.
