Day 1: Have A Good Day
Every memory I had with her was a good one. Even this one.
-Natsu
It was a hot summer day. Children ran outside and people laughed. Everything was good and everyone was happy.
Except Natsu. The red haired teen growled in frustration as he kicked a soda can and crushed it with his foot.
His one good person in his life died. Igneel, his adoptive father who rescued him from his abusive biological parents passed away from a heart attack.
Now he had no one.
Natsu kicked the crumpled soda can up and down the sidewalk and glared at anyone that passed.
The world wasn't fair, he had just started recovering from depression, and now Igneel, the only one who cared and helped him, was gone. Natsu could feel it, the deadly cold and helplessness coming back.
He was just about to kick the can again when noticed a group of kids poking at something.
Natsu grumbled and went over to look. He clenched his jaw when he saw the kids were using sticks to poke at a strange sun colored butterfly.
"Hey, brats. Get the hell away." Natsu shouted, pushing through the group to gently grab the butterfly.
The kids grumbled and walked away. Natsu didn't know why he did it, but he just couldn't let them torment the poor thing.
Natsu lifted the hand the butterfly decided to stay on. Nothing seemed to be damaged, thank god.
Natsu sighed and walked a bit farther with the butterfly still on his hand. He stopped once he reached a park. Natsu walked out to the field where flowers grew the thickest. He gently pushed the butterfly onto a flower.
"There, at least you can have a good day." Natsu said as he walked away.
That night he grabbed the razor from his lonely house, the only thing Igneel could leave him.
Natsu took that razor and brought it down on his already scarred wrist.
He went to bed with nightmares, now that there was no one to help him chase them away.
Outside his window, a tiny sun looked at him toss and turn.
