Chapter 1

Natsu, being the bumbly tumbly boy he was, ran around his house half naked while his mother ran after him with his shirt. Being the man he was he absolutely can't wear a shirt! Manly men never wore shirts, his father had told him that and his daddy was always right.

"Natssuuu!" he heard his mom call for him. He giggled to himself as he went out into the backyard, closing the door behind him. He heard his mother sigh before she went away, probably shaking her head at her son's antics.

Smiling and cheering a little at his win, he flexed his arms a little, looking proudly at the nearly non-existent bumps of his biceps. One day he was gonna be as strong and big as his dad.

Now that he was out here, he decided to go faerie hunting. Ever since his grandpa had told him about faeries and their pretty wings he had wanted to meet one. He had mentioned the same to his grandpa who had told him that faeries always lived near flowers.

And that began the tale of Natsu the little gardener. With the help of his mommy and granny, he had planted many, many flowers in their extended backyard. And with backyard, he meant the whole open grassy grounds behind their house that led straight to the tall fir forest. There was a pretty lake in there too where he went with his family for weekly picnics.

Checking his pockets, he nodded to himself when he found a half eaten bar of chocolate. He had bought it for the faerie but after numerous hunts, had ended up eating almost half of it himself. Hopefully, the faerie won't get disappointed with only a half bar, he sure hoped it didn't.

He looked up at the sky and noticed it was nearing evening. He had to hurry before his mother calls him for dinner. Starting off towards the numerous beds of flowers scattered over the whole hill, he looked around for any hint of faerie dust or something.

His grandpa had told him that faeries were super short; they were barely half his height! He couldn't even believe someone could be this small and that only made his task harder. To find one, he will have to look beneath the tall grasses too, maybe he will end up find one there.

Thinking that he bounded over to the other side of the hill, nearer to the forest where there were fewer flowers and more tall grass. He waded through them on his knees, often calling out for his soon-to-be-bestie.

He was going to move to another patch when something glittering caught his eyes. Looking around he found a small trail of glittery dust. Nearly jumping in excitement, he followed the trail and ended up finding himself climbing over some rocks before he finally found something -a FAERIE, his mind screamed excitedly- snuggled in a patch of jasmines.

It was a boy, he noted, his raven hair dusted with gold fairy dust. He nearly squealed when he noticed the technicolor, nearly translucent wings fluttering lightly as the other slumbered.

Not able to contain his excitement, a high pitched giggle-squeal escaped his lips. And that was the only thing needed for the other to jolt up from his sleep.

The faeboy looked around, seemingly disoriented until his eyes found a boy with pink hair looking at him, seeming as if he would burst any given second now.

"You're aw-ow!" in his overwhelmed state, Natsu ended up losing his balance and fell down on the soft patch of the flowers, right in front of the other. But it didn't deter him from reaching out to touch the other's wings that were now opened to their full glory.

The faeboy jerked away from his hand, his butterfly-like wings fluttering rapidly and making gold dust blow around.

Natsu looked on, fascinated, as the dust revolved around the other like a shield.

"Wow," he gasped out, his eyes wide and mouth agape. "You are a real faerie," He was completely stupefied by the being in front of him.

The other stared at him funnily before finally proceeding to stand up and stretch his body from his long nap, ignoring the intruder. Natsu looked on as the other's wings flapped lightly behind him, making light gusts of air hit his face.

As if suddenly remembering something, he pulled out the half-eaten chocolate bar from his pocket and held it out for the other. The fae looked at him suspiciously, balancing his choices of whether he should take the foreign, unfamiliar thing or not.

"It's really yummy! Everyone loooves chocolates!" Natsu said, encouraging the other to take it by thrusting his hand in front of the other's face. The fae skeptically took the offered item in his hands and proceeded to examine it curiously.

He poked the thing to check if it moved, held it in front of his eyes, smelled it before ultimately, and albeit reluctantly, taking a bite. At once a creamy, soft feeling overcame his tongue followed by a sweet taste tinged with desirable bitterness. He hummed in appreciation, taking another bite instantly.

"You like it!" Natsu cheered, looking on as the faeboy wolfed down the whole thing until the only trace left of the chocolate was the wrapper and the stains of chocolate around the others bubblegum pink lips. "So," he extended his grass stained hand, holding it out for the other to take, "Friends?"

The second time they met was a week later.

Natsu trudged along the path he knew by heart that led to the lake. He was happily humming the theme song of his favorite TV show under his breath while swinging the little picnic basket his mom had prepared for him and his 'friend'. He had told her about his faerie friend but she hadn't believed him, at all. Nonetheless, she had prepared him enough food for the two of them to eat.

His faefriend, he didn't know his name yet, had told him that he lived near the lake after awkwardly trying to explain the directions since he couldn't speak like Natsu did.

Natsu still remembered the moment clearly, snickering a little while remembering the other's disgruntled face as he tried to speak but the only thing reaching Natsu's ears was the sweet sound of small tinkling bells.

He skipped over to the lake, setting the small basket down near a rock and looked around trying to find the other.

"Faerie! Am here!"

As if the other was waiting for him, Natsu saw as the fae tumbled out of a bush of berries, some still stuck in his hair.

"What were you doing?" he questioned incredulously, going over to help him up. The fae tilted his head to check his wings and sighed in disdain when he found them sticky and stained with juice.

But noticing his friend he raised his cupped hands over to Natsu's face, letting him see the berries inside all the while smiling triumphantly at his successful battle against the bush. He proudly brandished the product of his win, grinning smugly.

"You collected them for…me?" Natsu asked, a smile taking over his features as the other nodded, little sparkles of gold following his movement.

"Really!?" another nod and Natsu all but jumped on the other, squeezing him tightly, "I declare you my bestie!"

The faeboy cocked his head in confusion, opening his mouth to ask what he meant only to realize the other possibly only heard some bell sounds, and that was confirmed when the other started chortling like a hyena.

"Your voice is so funny!" The pink haired boy exclaimed between laughs trying and failing to control his laughter when he noticed the other's scowl and a particularly irritated flap of his wings. The fae huffed, huffing indignantly at the other. Natsu finally managed to stop somehow, addressing the other's unspoken but evident question, "Okay, right so a bestie is someone who is my best-est and greatest friend! Like you!" he pointed at the other, "who will never, EVER leave me alone and both of us will stay together foreva! And we will even share our underwear!"

Getting excited solely from the other's contagious excitement, the faeboy also started jumping around, a big smile on his face while following the other's hyper active motions. His wings fritted rapidly, making golden specks of glitter shower over them both. And that was when Natsu started chanting 'besties foreva' over the top of his lungs willing the fae to follow him too, his unknowing self thinking it was a normal human protocol or something.

They continued on with their 'ceremony' till both were exhausted and slumped down near the lake. It was then that the faeboy remembered his sticky self. He wrinkled his nose in disgust, standing up and heading towards the water.

"Where are ya going, Tinkle?"

The faeboy, now known as Tinkle by his 'bestie', looked at the other questioningly.

"What? You don't like it?" Natsu questioned, sitting up from where he was lying on the grass.

Tinkle seemed deep in thought before he nodded. It wasn't like he could just tell the other his name so it was okay if they just stuck with that. He kind of low-key liked it too. Natsu smiled toothily at him, revealing a gap in his rows of perfect teeth from the one he lost not long ago. He was a growing boy, his daddy had told him.

Tinkle turned back to the water before diving right in, his wings following his body. He swam to the depths of the lake, the water so clear that he could easily make out the flora covering the lake bed.

Natsu looked on as his bestie emerged from beneath the water surface, his head bobbing up and down, creating ripples on the surface of the water.

Tinkle shook the water out of his eyes, his damp hair flopping in his face. He brushed his hair away from his face, his slightly pointy ears on full display. He smiled at the refreshing feeling of the water surrounding his body when suddenly he remembered he wasn't alone. He glanced at the pink haired boy, who was strangely shirtless but maybe that was another human thing too, before motioning him to come and join him.

Natsu was already shimmying out of his pants when he noticed the other waving him to get into the water. He grinned at the other and straight up ran towards the water, dunking inside with a huge splash, not minding if his underwear got wet.

Rather than going to the surface like a normal person, he chuckled mischievously to himself and went over to the pair of legs wading in the water.

Tinkle was getting worried when the other didn't come up after a while, wondering if he hit his head or something. He was going to dive under to look for the other when he felt something grab and pull at his legs, and the next second he knew he was underwater, his eyes blown wide, only barely catching someone swimming up. He swam up with an evident scowl, already expecting the ongoing laughter fest. He let the other laugh as much as he wanted, focusing instead on cleaning his shriveled up wings.

Natsu breathed in the much-needed oxygen, looking at the other carefully rubbing at his wings. He observed the other's focused eyes, swearing that he had seen something different about them. He swam over to the other until he floated only a few inches away from him. Tinkle looked at him with a questioning frown as if asking if something was wrong.

Natsu immediately, without speaking anything, held the other's face in his hands and willed him near, looking directly into his eyes. "I was right! Your eyes do have something different!" he exclaimed, shocking the other lightly. A series of tinkling sounds escaped the other's lips as he looked at him questioningly. That was when Natsu told him about the ring of pale gold surrounding his pupils.

"That's so cool!" he exclaimed, gushing about how he also wanted eyes like that leaving Tinkle to wonder what the heck was special about his eyes since the place where he lived in Fae land, everyone's eyes were like his. In fact others' back in his realm had two rings around theirs.

After playing a bit in the water and splashing each other to their heart's content, the two waded out of the water and near the odd, jutted out rock. Natsu picked up his basket and held it proudly before exclaiming, "Mommy made food for us!"

Both of them sat down on the grass since Natsu had obviously forgotten to bring something to sit on, but they didn't mind. He unlatched the basket and took out the sandwiches and juice his mother had packed, leaving the berries Tinkle had collected for him safely tucked inside.

He unwrapped one of the small triangles and handed it to his friend, allowing him inspect it curiously. "It's yummy, mommy always makes the best sandwiches!" he beamed, unwrapping his own and making a show out of taking a bit and humming in contentment, urging the other to do so too. Tinkle slowly raised the soft thing between his lips and took a bite, chewing a little until he tasted a light tangy flavor followed by something sweet, all blending in well with the soft white stuff. He hummed in appreciation, making Natsu grin proudly. His mommy was the best-est cook in the world.

Halfway through their second sandwich, he separated the straws from the tetra packs and pierced one before placing one in front of his bestie and piercing the other for himself. He took his and guided the other on how to drink. Tinkle followed his example diligently, taking an experimental sip letting the sweet flavor attack his taste buds. He silently wondered why tasty things like these didn't exist in the fae world.

After having their little picnic snack, the two were lying side by side, staring up at the slowly darkening sky.

"Tinkle," Natsu called for the other's attention, a tinkling sound coming in reply. "Can I...touch your wings?" he had wanted to do so ever since he first saw the other, but to do that he had to at least get his permission. His granny had told him it wasn't nice to touch others without their consent.

Tinkle glanced side-ways at his companion before sitting up, stretching and straightening his wings till they were fully expanded and without a flaw. Out of everything, he was the proudest of his wings. He fluttered them lightly, a bit of golden dust falling on the ground.

Natsu let out an amazed wow, slowly reaching up and touching the one nearest to him, nearly retracting his hand back when the wing moved under his fingertips. "So soft…Tinkle, your wings are so soft, they are softer than my fluffiest blanket!" he complimented, running his hands over the extension of the other's body.

Smiling almost bashfully, Tinkle let the other do as he pleased, it was the least he could do for him.
