Behind the Door
Luke is happily playing with Happy in his parents' bedroom. Both are throwing a ball to each other and is also telling jokes to him. Luke is the son of both Natsu and Lucy Dragneel. He looks exactly like Natsu minus the color of his hair and acts just like him. He is also six years old and can read and write. He somehow manage to take a liking into reading books, much to Lucy's joy.
Moving on, the young Dragneel is busy playing with his furry friend while his parents – who are also in the room, specifically the bed - are talking about boring adult stuff as usual. He was just about to run away from Happy with the ball, till. "Luke, can you please step out of the room? Your father and I are going to discuss some matters for a while." his mother said. He stopped playing when he was spoken to. The young boy noticed that his parents seem to be too close to each other and both are smiling, in a weird way too.
"Is it okay if I could play with my friends at the guild?", he asked. He knows that if he just stays there while waiting for his parents discuss about some adult matters. It would be boring. So, he decided that he could just go to the guild to play with his other friends.
"Yes dear, you can. Just be careful on your way there. Also Happy, take care of him.", her mother said."Aye!". With that approval, the child and exceed went their way to the guild. Not knowing what his parents are really doing back at home.

"I forgot my scarf!", the young blonde said, realizing that he forgot his father's gift at their room. "I should go back home to get it. Happy, I will come back later after I got it.". He went back home to pick up his scarf. It was given to him by his father on his fifth birthday and he treasured it so much that he can't take it off anywhere nor anytime – except when he is playing. His scarf is exactly like his father but a bit smaller for his size. He reached his house and went inside forgetting the fact that his parents were having a discussion. He was about to turn the knob when he heard muffled noises coming from inside.
Luke stopped and instead, he stuck his ear to the door. He can hear his parents saying each others' names but it wasn't clear. He realized that maybe he was about to disturb them in what they're doing and decided to come back some other time. With that decision, he went back outside going back to play with his friends at the guild.

A few months later, he was told that he was having a younger sibling.
I know it's short but I really wanted to write this down. This actually happened to a friend of mine and I thought it could actually happen in this story. And it did. Please leave a review and thanks for reading.
