Silence

Prologue:

Words. Words can be used to soothe and to calm, but they can also be used to snap, to ruin, and to break.

Many people used words every day. Whether you're young or old – new or spoiling. Some people can only wish to use them. To push them up from the back of their throats to their lips, so that they can express themselves. Yes, some people can only wish.

Natsu Dragneel wished.

He wanted to be heard, but that as impossible for him. Natsu liked words, even if they couldn't escape his lips, he liked them. You don't appreciate words and speaking until you don't have it anymore. He could never find the right ones – something he always struggled with.

Even when he couldn't speak, he wasn't good with words. When Natsu wrote things down, they came out differently than he wanted. When he sent texts, he would offend someone without meaning to.

Natsu sat outside his open window, air blowing on his face. It was cool and clouds were forming, meaning one thing: it would rain soon. Natsu wasn't sure about the sky. It was big and quiet, calming to the eye. At the same time, it was home to tornadoes and dangerous hurricanes.

Natsu could be destructive and rude without wanting to. Natsu smiled slightly, his usually happy aura gone.

The sky was like words. He could never reach the right ones.
