Chapter 1: His Heart slowly cracks
In the streets of Magnolia there was a young man with pink spiky hair jumping up and down, swinging on trees cheering and yelling.
Basically he was an idiot
"YESSSSSSS-" Natsu fell on the hard cobble floor, face first. Then he got up, the smile on his face brighter than ever along with a bloody nose.
"YEEEEESSSSS!"
"HAPPY WHERE ARE YOU?!" Natsu slammed the door to his and Happy's house open scaring the poor cat.
"Natshuuu~" Natsu spotted his feline friend and jumped towards hims.
"I DID IT!" Natsu landed on the couch making Happy fly into the air.
"Natsu? Did you eat Strawberry cheesecake again?"
"NOPE!" He grinned at the cat.
"I ASKED OUT LUCY! AND SHE SAID YEEESSSSSS!" Happy covered his ears and frowned.
"Well it wasn't exactly a Yes but I'LL TAKE IT!" In reality Lucy had only told him to meet her at her house.
Tonight
Natsu happily hummed a random tune while skipping through the streets of Magnolia. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw a shop with a Yellow flawer as its symbol.
"I'll get her a flower!~ That's sure to make her happy" Natsu skipped over to the shop.
"Hello sir what type of flower woul you be interested in?" The lady sitting by the counter looked over at the pinkette swearing to god she saw sparkles around him.
"Anything Yellow!"
"Umm sir? Could you please be more specific?" Natsu then smelt the air, a sweet vanilla scent caught his attention.
"That one!" The lady saw which one he had pointed at and smiled.
"Ah yes! That has been the most popular lately..." She recalled a young shirtless man buying the same one earlier.
"I'll take it!" Natsu grabbed the flower and handed the lady the jewels before skipping out of the shop.
"Wait! Your 100 jewels short..." She watched Natsu skip away, she smiled.
"Oh well..."
Natsu stopped skipping when he arrived at Lucy's apartment. Due to his happy mood he failed to notice a certain ice scent lingering in the air.
"This is it!" He walked over the door and tried turning the knob.
"Weird its locked..." Natsu knew the landlady would never leave it locked. He turned around and spotted the tree he always used to climb into Lucy's bedroom.
He ran up the tree and grabbed its branch and climbed on.
"I'll just surprise her then!" He thought. But sudden moans of pleasure stopped him. He looked through the window and saw Lucy locked in a passionate kiss...
With his rival.
Natsu watched silently as they moved across the room, he looked away as Lucy began to take her top off.
But strangely the smile on his face didn't disappear.
"There's no way Lucy would be interested in Ice princess, This must be a dream, Yeah! It's just a dream! I'll wake up any second now!" Natsu suddenly lost his footing and fell off the branch. He landed on the ground with a thud.
The moans still continued.
He got up and slowly walked away, his eyes dulled a bit but the smile never left his face. Then walking turned into brisk walking, then birsk walking turned into running.
"Did she want me to see her and Gray? No Lucy is too kind to do that" He ran through the forest not caring where he went.
"This must be some kind of mistake, yeah its a mis-" Natsu stopped as rain began pouring. The harsh reality slowly sunk in.
and finally his smile disappeared.
Tears fell down his face only to be camouflaged by the rain. His quiet sobs went unheard. And unbeknownest to him or anyone...
A small crack had appeared in his heart
Natsu woke up feeling like shit. He looked around seeing trees everywhere.
"Oh...yeah.." His voice was quiet. He got up and walked towards his cottage in the distance.
"Lucy...and Gray...were..." His heart clenched. He frowned and walked into his home. He noticed the absense of his parter and found a note lying on the table.
He didn't bother read it and just walked into the bathroom. He looked at himself in the mirror.
"I look like shit..." His face was covered in mud and his clothes were dirty. His eyes were dulled and his hair looked a shade lighter. He washed his face and took of his clothes. He threw water over himself and didn't bother to wash up. Walking over to the waldrobe he slipped on his usually attire. He dragged himself out the house.
"Mira, Natshu didn't come home last night..." Fairy Tail's barmaid gave a concerned look before giving Happy a smile.
"Maybe he was busy! I'm sure he will some to the guild any second now" Happy smiled and continued eating his fish.
"I'm already here..." Mira jumped at the small voice. She spotted Natsu with his head down on the counter.
"Natsu! are you alright?" She asked noticing the depressed aura around the Dragon Slayer.
"I'm fine..." She was about to press on when the Guild doors opened. Gray walked in with a very flushed Lucy.
"Hey Everyone!" Mirajane saw Natsu tense up and gave the pinkette a sad look.
"Oh Natsu..." She knew all to well what Natsu was going through.
"Hey Flame-Brain! You look like shit!" Gray said noticing Natsu at the counter.
"Whats wrong with him?" questioned Lucy. Natsu stayed silent.
"Natsu! My boy come here!" Natsu slowly lifted his head to look at Makarov before shoving it back down.
"Whats wrong my boy?"
"..."
"He's um...not in the mood to talk right now..." Mirajane answered for him.
"Oh, There's a job requesting his help but if he's not in the mood..." Natsu lifted his head.
"I'll do it" He said. His voice was barely audible. Makarov nodded and handed him the request. Natsu got up and moved towards the door.
"I'm sure a job will cheer him up..."
"Wait! let us get our stuff!" Natsu stopped in his tracks as Lucy and Gray began to follow him.
"I think I'll go solo on this one" They looked at Natsu confused as Happy flew by Natsu.
"You stay behind too buddy..." Happy's head sunk. Natsu walked out of the guild leaving everyone to wonder.
"What the hell happened to him?"
Natsu looked at the request and raised a brow.
"What kind of town names itself Ward 23?"
