HELLO! I HAVE RETURNED WITH A NEW STORY! And making more work for myself because I already have two other stories that I haven't updated for a long time. BUT WHO CARES NEW STORY!

Natsu wraps his trademark scarf around his neck tighter as the cold air nips at his skin. And people say that I wear a scarf for no reason, he thinks as he lightly smirks and walks faster to get out of the cold. Natsu has never liked the cold, he always loves it when it's hot. He still wears a scarf when it gets hot though.

He passes by a magazine stand where the new issue of Men's Health had just been released. The cover magazine featured him with no shirt on showing off his lean muscular upper body, tugging his scale-patterned scarf from his neck while his head is tilted to the right and his dark eyes have an alluring stare. Right next to it in bright red fiery letters was his known catchphrase before he goes on stage "I'm all fired up!"

He made sure to lower his baseball cap so it covered his pink spiky hair and held on to his sunglasses as some teenage girls picked up an issue and began to squeal over the picture. "Oh my God, he is so hot!" "Look at those muscles!", he heard them say as he walked away and crossed the street.

At last he reached Fairy Tail, a bar in the town of Magnolia. Some of his friends work there so he goes to chill out when his busy schedule drives him a little nuts. The people who go there are mostly his friends who don't work there and people who are either getting a beer to calm themselves from their crazy day or people who just want to get shit-faced and have a party. The bar also has a karaoke machine which is a big hit and sometimes one of the main reasons people come.

Natsu enters the bar and takes off his baseball cap and sunglasses. No one ever recognizes him here which is another reason why he loves this place.

"Hey Mira!", Natsu yells as he hangs his coat on the coat rack and walks to over to the bar stools. "Hi Natsu!", she greeted as she wipes the counter with a white towel. "How was your day?", she asked as she began getting his usual which is a Samuel Adams Boston Lager in a big mug.

Natsu put his forehead on the counter, "Exhausting." Mira placed the beer in front of him and petted his head, "What happened?" Natsu lifted his head up and took a huge swig of beer before talking. "I had meetings nonstop today about my upcoming album which was SUPER boring and I didn't even eat a proper lunch!" Natsu is a big eater and if he doesn't eat what he considers a full meal, he gets a little sad. "Natsu, you should be excited! You're going to be releasing an album soon, that's amazing! I know it's a lot of work but you love it right?"

She had a point. Natsu loved music. Ever since he got his first set of drums at the age of 4, he fell in love with music. He played each and every day, his skill increasing. Then one day when Natsu was 7, his dad left. He had no idea where he went. He kept searching for him all over until he was sent into foster care. Luckily, he was adopted by a man named Makarov Dreyar. Turns out Makarov had adopted a bunch of other kids! And those kids are still his friends today! Mira was one of them with her two siblings, Lisanna and Elfman. There was Erza, Gray, Levy, Cana, and he adopted Gajeel a little while later.

As a gift for his arrival, they gave him a guitar. It was fire red with orange flames all over it. Although he didn't know how to play, he did one strum and it sounded like heaven. He broke into a huge grin and then said happily, "I'm all fired up!" That's where he got it from. After that, Mira volunteered to teach him how to play.

Mira was more partial to soft guitar playing but she know how to rock like a demon. Natsu loved that part.

Natsu came back to reality and shook his head. "I do love it, Mira. It's what makes me feel safe. It reminds me of my dad." Mira smiled and ruffled his spiky hair. "Then just remember why you love it." Natsu gave a big smile, showing off his sharp canines. "Thanks, Mira. SECONDS PLEASE!" He shouted as he raised his empty mug. Mira giggled at his excitement. "Coming right up."

Ok, so I hoped you enjoy! I know I make my chapters really short but I want to introduce Lucy in the next chapter. Trust me, I could write 10 pages if I wanted but I want to dedicate a whole chapter to her like I did to Natsu. And I love teasing you guys by making you wait.

I'm sorry that I haven't updated my two other stories for a while. I know what I'm going to write, I just don't have enough time. But I will make time! I promise! And I didn't update those because I thought of this story and just kept writing. Also this story was inspired by the song "Runaway Baby" by Bruno Mars. Expect a performance from Natsu in the next few chapters.

Ok, I'm done rambling. Until next time!
