Natsu opened his eyes slowly. The voice of his beloved wife filled his ears. He looked to his right and saw her on the ground. Nashi and Igneel, his pair of two week old twins, were safely in her arms. A wild tyrant had attacked them, and Natsu had gotten knocked out during the midst of the battle. He quickly ran over to find her blood draining quickly. Natsu quivered as her eyes looked up at him. The life in them was leaking quickly.
"Natsu..."
"L-Lucy... It's gonna be okay..."
"Natsu... You need to go."
"What?"
"Take Iggy... And Nashi. All three of us will die if you don't. You can come back for me..."
"No, I can-"
"Natsu, Igneel is wounded. Please... They're my whole world... you and them. I wouldn't want to live if one of you got severely injured. Natsu... Please."
"A-Alright... You'll be okay though, Lucy."
"Natsu?"
"H-Hmm?"
"Don't cry... I love you more than anything, okay?"
"I-I love you too L-Luce. I'll be back."
That was his biggest mistake to be made in life. When he returned for his wife, a trail of blood led to her wedding ring. Wolves had eaten her.
Natsu sprung out of bed when he felt sudden impact on his stomach. Igneel smiled up at him. The father laughed and ruffled his five year old son's hair. Nashi had burnt toast on a plate in her hands.
"Daddy! We made you breakfast in bed!!! I used my fire!"
"Nashi, that's great!!! I'll eat it right up! Now you two go get ready for the guild."
"Yessir!"
His toddlers scampered away, and he smiled sweetly before munching down the burnt toast. He glanced at the picture of his wife. She smiled brightly at the Natsu in the picture. Her eyes were lit up with love, happiness, and life.
Then he blinked.
Natsu pulled on his one sleeved jacket and his white harem pants. After pulling on sandals, Natsu tied his hair into a messy man bun. He grabbed his toddlers before rushing to the guild.
"Guys! Guess who's back!!"
As he pushed the guild doors open, he found everyone staring at him. Confusion swept over him.
"What?"
"Natsu, I need for you to take a look in the infirmary."
"What? Did something happen?"
"Yeah. Something you need to see."
Natsu quirked an eyebrow before slowly walking to the infirmary. On the bed, a white sheet was folded over a male body. Erza was beside it, sleeping peacefully. He slowly pulled it back. Blonde hair and pale skin.
Pulling the sheet farther down, Natsu slowly revealed a young male most likely arounf the age of 22. He was very well muscled, and the baggy white boxers he had on caught Natsu's eye. He was the only one to wear BAGGY boxers...
Then the man's eyes fluttered awake. Natsu jumped back when he met a pair of very familiar brown eyes.
"Ah..."
"U-Uhm..."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Natsu. Natsu Dragneel."
"Ahm... I'm Lucas."
"Lu... Cas?"
"Mm... Mhm."
"You seem famili-"
"Haha... I don't think we've met."
"What's your last name?"
"U-Um... Drago."
"Lucas Drago..."
"Mhm."
"Middle name?"
"Uh... Austin!"
"Lucas Austin Drago. You're right we haven't met."
Lucas smiled warmly and nodded. He stood up and stretched noisily. Natsu was a foot taller than him, and he stared at him confused.
He reminded him of Lucy... So much.
"Ah! I'm fully awake. Do you have any clothes that could fit me?"
"Hm..."
Natsu pulled off his vest and wrapped it around the boy. Blush scattered across Lucas' face. The sight of Natsu's extremely buff chest made him crazy.
"Um... Lucas, you okay? You... Urm... Seem red."
"I-I'm fine!"
"Okay. Come on."
"Where are we going?"
"Get you some clothes."
Lucas followed Natsu out of the infirmary's windows, and they walked to a nearby shop. Natsu helped him pick out clothes, and soon Lucas was dressed in his own clothes. With a black and white vest, blue skinny jeans, black converse, and a galaxy t shirt, Natsu had to admit the boy was cute.
"It's getting dark out, Natsu."
"It is."
"Should I stay in the infirmary?"
"Ah? No. You can come home with me. I hope you don't mind toddlers, haha!"
"No!!! I love kids!!!!"
"Good."
Lucas immediately fell in love with Nashi and Igneel. Natsu couldn't believe the resemblance of Iggy and Lucas. They were exactly alike...
"Natsu, are you okay?"
"Of course! We're here!!"
Lucas looked up from Iggy to see a small, cute cottage. Flowers were well tended around it. He smiled happily.
"It's perfect! Thank you for letting me stay with you, Natsu."
"My pleasure..."
"Mm... Are you married?"
"Well... I'm in love. My wife is my true love and always will be. I'm bound to her and only her. She owns my heart, my kids, my mind, and my body."
"Where is she? I want to meet her!"
"She's dead."
"O-Oh... I'm sorry."
"It's alright. She's still my baby. I'll love her no matter if she's living, dead, or what."
"That's sweet, Natsu."
"Just speaking the truth. You can have my bed. I'll sleep with the kids. Goodnight, Lucas."
"Goodnight Natsu."
As Lucas climbed into Natsu's comfy bed, a scent filled his nostrils. It made his head pound. Fire... Bourbon... Natsu. His scent...
Lucas stared at the picture on the bed stand. The woman in it looked very happy with Natsu.
She was beautiful. By far the most beautiful woman Natsu had ever seen, obviously.
He smiled. Natsu was a sweet guy.
Who am I?
I'm Lucas Austin Drago. I'm not married. I'm not looking for a relationship.
Why does everything here seem so...
familiar?
