I will be the one, I must be the one. On this day, I have created the first ever (At least I think it's the first) Natsu x Irene (Or eleen, the wiki says Irene, but the manga says eleen or something like that, but I'm going to call her Irene here though.) story.

Summary: During a mission, Natsu encounters a woman by the name Irene, after getting to know each other, and a few others things, they begin to date. Follow them as they hide it from Natsu's guild, and as the two learn secrets about each other, mostly secrets about Natsu though.

There will be some differences from Canon, I won't tell you here, you'll see when you read this story. Also some crossover elements, you'll see what I mean. If you know me by now, you have expected that. If the characters acted OOC, I apologize as I'm not good at getting personalities right. I'm sure someone else out of there can do a Natsu x Irene story better than me anyway.

Enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter one: Meeting

Natsu was currently relaxing in his hotel room he rented for a few nights. The fire dragon slayer was currently in a town for a mission he accepted. You might be wondering, unless you're not wondering, where's the rest of Team Natsu? Well Lucy already had enough money to pay her rent for a month, so she didn't join as she just wanted to relax. Erza was already on a mission herself, so she wasn't present when he took his mission. And of course there's no way Natsu is going to ask help from the ice stripper. As for Happy, he went with Wendy and Carla on a mission. Though mainly because Happy wanted to impress Carla. So that's why it was just Natsu.

Natsu was simply thinking about a few things right now. What kind of things? I don't know, things. Anyway, as he was busy thinking, his stomach growled, signifying that it wanted food.

"Heh, I guess I should get something to eat." The dragon slayer told himself as he prepared to head out into the town to get something to eat, as he wasn't in the mood to make something himself.

'ELSEWHERE IN THE TOWN'

"Where's a good place to eat?" A red haired woman questioned herself as she walked around the town.

This woman's name is Irene, and believe it or not, she's one of a group called the Spriggan 12 of the empire of Alvarez, herself being called the Scarlet Despair. She is said to be one of the most powerful people on the entire planet. Now why is she in Ishgar? Well, since she can do whatever she wants, she decided to come here for a little bit. She has no care for the whole grudge against the Ishgar continent like the rest of her country does. While she has a goal herself, she isn't in a rush to complete it. The current thing on her agenda is getting some food. Though it was being a pain as she couldn't find a place that looked good for her taste.

Currently on the other side of the road, we see our favorite fire dragon slayer trying to find a place to eat as well, as there was nothing so far that caught his eye.

"Come on, there's got to be something around here." He told himself as he kept searching on his quest for a place to eat. He as so focus on locating a nice looking restaurant, he didn't noticed the person in front of him, who also didn't noticed Natsu on front of her.

BAM!

"OW!" Both of them shouted as they fell down on their butts.

After hearing someone in front of him, he realized that he bumped into someone.

"Sorry about that, are you alright?" Natsu asked the person in front of him, only to freeze as he saw the person, well woman, in front of him.

In front of him was probably the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his entire life. She had red haired which was braided in a certain way with two ornaments in them as well. She was wearing a black clothing of sorts, and she also had a giant hat with fur lining near its edges (I suck at describing things I know). All in all, Natsu was blushing like a storm right now.

When Irene heard the person in front of her speaking to her, she looked to see a young man with spiky pink hair, had white pants on, and a vest of sorts, that leave his chest and abs visible to the world. He also was wearing a white scarf around his neck. Honestly, he looked kind of handsome and cute to the woman, who was now blushing a tiny bit.

After a few awkward minute of them just staring at each other, they realized what they were doing as they then turned their heads from each other. After they calmed down, they looked at each other again.

"Sorry about knocking you down and staring at you like that." Natsu managed to get out from his mouth. He was still feeling embarrassed by the beautiful woman in front of him.

"No, it's fine." Irene replied after she managed to speak properly again. "I guess we're both at fault here, I didn't notice where I was going either."

Natsu simply gave her one of his usual grins, getting the red haired woman to blush once more.

"My name's Natsu Dragneel. What's yours?" He asked the older woman in front of him. He didn't know why, but he wants to be around her for some reason.

"Irene, that's my name. It's a pleasure to meet you Natsu." She answered him, founding herself wanting to be around him as well.

"Hey, if it's cool with you I mean… "Natsu spoke again, feeling a bit more embarrassed as he realized what he was about to ask her. Irene was simply curious by what the man in front of her wanted to ask. "W-Would you like to get something to eat? It's the least I can do after running into you." He managed to finish. 'That was terrible!' he thought to himself as he realized that he probably sounded pathetic.

The red haired woman simply giggled at his nervousness, but she herself was blushing a little from the offer.

"Sure." Irene answered, getting his attention. "I would like that, but don't worry about thinking it as payment."

Natsu simply gave her a big smile as he spoke again. "Awesome! Let's go!" He told her as he took her hand as they looked around for a place to eat. Irene blushed once again from him grabbing her hand, but you know what? It felt nice; it also felt right in a sense. He may be younger than her, but she didn't see any problems with it. So she simply walked with the fire dragon slayer to find a place to eat.

'A FEW MINUTES LATER'

After a few minutes of searching, they managed to find a place that they both like. They entered the restaurant as got their seats and ordered their food, which was a lot in Natsu's case.

As they waited for their meal to come, Natsu decided to start a conversation with the red haired beauty.

"Are you a wizard?" Natsu asked her, who looked up from her drinks to see him asking her a question.

"Yes I am." Irene answered him.

"That's cool. Are you in a guild?" Natsu once again asked her.

"No I'm not. I actually work for my country." Irene once more answered his question. Her answer made him more curious about the woman in front of him.

"You mean you're not from Fiore?" Natsu questioned her, who nodded to his question. "What country are you from?" If she wasn't from Fiore, then where is she from?

"I come from the country of Alvarez, located on the continent of Alakitasia." She told him.

"Whoa, you're from a whole different continent?" Natsu asked her with stars in his eyes. "That's so cool! But why are you here then?"

"I simply wanted to relax a little bit. Nothings stopping me from coming here, so I came." She answered his question. "May I ask some things about you?" He was asking things about her, so she might as well get to know more about him.

"Ask away." Natsu replied with a smile, seeing no harm in answering some questions.

"Are you part of a guild?" Irene asked him.

"Yup, I'm part of the Fairy Tail Guild." Natsu answered her with pride.

"Interesting, what kind of magic do you use?" She asked him once more.

"I use fire dragon slaying magic." Natsu answered her.

"Lost magic? How did you learn it?" Irene was curious.

"I was taught by my dad, the fire dragon king Igneel." Natsu answer her with a smile.

This cause her to be more interested. "You were raise by a dragon?" She asked him, getting him to nod. "Where is he now?" She asked once more, only to see his smile falter. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"

"No, it's fine." Natsu told Irene, not wanting her to feel bad. "I don't know where he is. But I'll find him someday!" Natsu told her with confidence and determination. Seeing him like this cause the red haired woman to smile. She didn't know why, but when he's happy, she feels happy as well.

Before they could talk more, their food had arrived. Natsu began to eat his food, which was a bit messy, but honestly, Irene didn't mind it at all. During their eating, they talk a bit more, getting to know each other a lot better.

After the two finished eating, they headed out of the restaurant. Noticing that it was getting late, Natsu wanted to know if Irene had a place to stay.

"So Irene, where are you staying at?" Natsu asked her.

"Actually, I was simply passing by this town, so I don't really have a place to stay." She admitted.

"I know!" Natsu told her as an idea came to him. "Why don't you stay with me in my apartment?" He told her, causing her to stare at him. It was making him feel a bit nervous. "Uh, did I say that weird?"

Irene then giggle before speaking, "No, you didn't. I was just surprise by the offer that's all. I'll be glad to accept it." She replied, getting him to smile.

"Great! Let's go!" Natsu told her as he once again grabbed her hand. This action merely causes her to smile as they headed to the hotel Natsu's was staying at.

They headed to the room that he currently rented. When they entered the room, they noticed that only one bed was presence.

"Oh, I forgot about that." Natsu answered, scratching his cheek as he gave out a nervous laugh. "I can take the couch and you can have the bed." He told her as she was looking at the single bed.

Irene didn't seem to think that was fair. "No, I shouldn't be taking your bed. I'll be fine on the couch." She told him.

"No, its fine really. Besides, it's not nice to let a beautiful woman like yourself sleep in something like that." Natsu replied back, getting a blush from the might woman.

"How about this then, we'll share the bed. Is that good enough?" Irene suggested to him, getting him to blush from her suggestion.

"Uh… I mean… if you're okay with it." Natsu managed to stutter out. 'I sound like an idiot!' he yelled at himself in his head, getting the red haired woman to giggle at his nervousness.

After that was decided, they proceeded to get ready for bed. Natsu was simply in his pants and scarf, and was waiting for Irene to get out of the bathroom so they could go to sleep. After a few minutes, Irene came out of the restroom, wearing nothing but a bra and underwear. The sight caused Natsu to nearly have a heart attack, as a gigantic blush took hold on his face. Irene noticed his reaction, founding it to be both funny and cute. She herself though was also affected by Natsu, as he was not wearing a shirt, leaving his chest exposed to her.

After they both calm down, more so for Natsu, they headed to the bed.

"Natsu." Irene begun to speak.

"Yeah?" The fire dragon slayer was curious by what the red haired woman wanted.

"After you finish your job tomorrow, how about we have a match?" She suggested to him, getting him to look at her in surprise.

"Match? Like a fight?"

"Yeah, I want to see how much you can handle." Irene told him with a small smirk.

Natsu gave her a confident grin before he spoke again, "Alright, you're on!"

After it was settled, they got into the bed. Once Natsu had adjusted himself, Irene then snuggled up close to him, causing him to blush from the closeness.

"Night Natsu." She told him before falling asleep.

Natsu then smiled as he saw her sleep, before snuggling up to her as well.

"Night Irene." He then too succumbs to the world of dreams.

This was probably so bad that you want it to burn in fire. Well, I hope you like it, or not, you all have your opinions.

See you next time, whenever that will be.
