Seventh Heaven

Chapter One – overture

Darkness.

A small trail of light shimmered on the far distance, making the horizon brighten slightly and start to show various hues of blue.

Natsu knew that he had his eyes closed but that didn't impeach him from seeing his surroundings.

It felt as if he were floating.

Far away, the sound of waves crashing upon the sand and rocks could be heard and so did the cries of seagulls.

Natsu felt movement – that supposedly was caused by a boat where he should be lying however he didn't feel any motion sickness. Everything was calm and that appeased him and gave him a feeling of protection.

Taking a deep breath he opened his eyes and sat up. He looked around. He was surrounded by blue, calm blue in every direction and if he looked around he wouldn't notice any disturbance in the waters that he was sailing. How strange was that, especially when he could hear the waves crashing so close, yet so far away?

Lying back down Natsu gave a contented sigh at the warmness that enveloped him.

Even if he knew that this was a dream and that nobody would bother him, this felt like a secret moment. To be remembered and cherished as they didn't come all that often…

Opening his eyes once again, he had to blink them a couple of times.

Then he noticed the light that was being filtered by the blue colored curtains, the thin yellow beams delicately hitting the bed and walls.

There was no need for him to wake up so Natsu curled up tighter in the blanket and snuggled into the body that was lying next to his. Said body opened his arms in a welcoming gesture and that was all the invitation that Natsu needed. When he came into contact to a bare chest, the arms closed around him in a light embrace.

His nose sensed something that remembered him of a beach, of the sea.

He exhaled softly. The feeling of protection that he had felt before was nothing compared with what he was feeling now.

After this passing thought, he let the tender arms of oblivion pull him back to that calm plane.

He could wake up and face life later, for now only this moment mattered.


A/N: So, I couldn't resist. This whole idea had been in my mind for quite a while and now it was really bothering me so I had to somehow expel it. Here you have it. Hope it's not too weird.

For this series I only plan to write 14 oneshots (each loosely inspired in one song of Kalafina's Seventh Heaven album). They will vary in lengths, themes and everything as they will be basically be the development of a bunch of ideas. And I have no idea on when inspiration/time to write will strike so this will be randomly updated.

Maybe I should advise you to listen to the songs so that you can "feel/follow" my train of thought? Anyway, do as you like. I hope you like this new weird idea by me.

This is not beta-read, I typed this in a break from my Biochemistry study so I'm at fault to all the weird phrasings and errors.

If possible, review ^^
