I Can Play You Baby Boy

~Prologue~

Magnolia was a city which knew none about rest.

All year long was it buzzing with industrial marks and joyful townsfolk. Children would be running the crowded streets with grouchy vendors scolding rowdy students, as employees worked till they dropped.

It was a home to many with stories sewn into the people.

And with its rather large population, Magnolia easily grew to be one of the most known and finest lands in Fiore.

Greenery spilled over the land with the sun rising and setting over the demanding city. Property ranged from rundown apartment complexes to grand mansions piled to the brim with maids and butlers.

Take the Heartfilia Estate for instance; Jude Heartfilia owns acres of fresh, lush land for just his daughter, wife and himself.

But alas he wouldn't be satisfied with that; instead there would always be a whole new level of success to strive for. Which every citizen in this city knew too much about.

This is where Igneel Dragneel steps in, one of the most powerful men in these lands.

He is none other than the founder of The Dragneel Co. He owns one of the most successful businesses in the country. If there looks to be a high-class restaurant, he owns it, if there is a new and popular club down the street with restricted access, he owns, if there is a University students die to be accepted into, he once again, owns it. He is one of the few men in business who took risks in multiple fields and kept his idea of success in a range of variety from the beginning. He is a man who strives to keep his company intact, which is why he stands in front of his only son with a stern stare.

"But Daddy, whyyyy!"

"Natsu, there is no whining in this, my mind is already set. I cannot have my only heir in danger now that the rate of crimes have increased in this city."

The boy crossed his arms and pouted up at the man in black.

Igneel Dragneel possessed stern and squinty, dark green eyes which could turn powerful CEO's into a squirming mess, with the addition of black, spiky hair which couldn't be tamed it, was an odd combination. This powerful man was a tall, intimidating statue of muscle with such tan skin that he could be mistaken to be from the beaches of the neighboring nations.

"I can take care of myself! I don't need no bodyguard cause I'll already have knocked out the pervert who eyed me wrong before the bastard of a bodyguard can even blink!"

Igneel sighed down at his son, "Natsu, believe me when I say that I trust you can, "he warily eyed his son's slender and short figure, "but these cases that have started appearing are just too serious for you to be wandering around town alone. Especially since they all float around rape. These are ruthless men who are out for significant citizens which will seriously wreck Magnolia's industry."

Natsu just huffed, glaring at Igneel."You don't have faith in me."

"Of course I do son! It's just starting to become too dangerous out there!" And the father and son squabble continued, both stubborn ends not giving in.

"It may be for other wimps but not for me! I can take care of myself very well and I don't need my own father to be telling me that I am incapable of walking to school alone when he was building a company at the same age!" Natsu's anger flared and he shouted, he was practically a legal adult now and he didn't need his father babying him!

Igneel narrowed his eyes slamming his fist down on his desk, booming loudly, "Natsu! I will not have my own son sass me! You are going to have a bodyguard and that is final!"

Natsu gritted his teeth at his father, clenching his fists. It wasn't fair! From the reports he's seen, the crimes in fact seemed rather stable for the past few months. His father was just finding an excuse to keep him under his control, and he wasn't having any of that! "You could at least tell me the real reason you want me under watch 24/7! Do you not trust me or something?!" he cried.

Igneel's eyes softened, "It's not that-"

"YES IT IS! Don't lie to me now Dad! Tell me!"

Igneel sighed; oh why must had his son inherit his stubbornness? Out in the streets, his son would sure to be a prime target. His coral pink hair gives it away on first sight that he is a child of the Dragneel, not to mention his rather delicate physique which he unfortunately inherited from his mother. For goodness sake the boy barely reached his shoulders! "Natsu, please don't start this with me, son. Just do it for your old man. I don't want my only family remaining have to undergo what your mother had to."

The feisty pinkette jolted to a halt at the thought of his mother.

He narrowed his eyes at his father before turning to gaze down at his bare feet in thought. Briefly from what his father told him before, his mother was a goofy woman. She would always be acting silly and brightening everyone's day up. Igneel said he took a lot after her, his nose, his hair, his figure. He also said that she was the kindest person in a mile.

Which is why she didn't deserve any of what happened to her.

When Natsu was only a toddler, she had been walking about town just a couple of minutes away. She had insisted that she didn't need an escort, only to be suddenly drugged and dragged behind an ally later on her path. Her naked body was later found to be beaten brutally till the brink of her consciousness before she was raped raw for hours on end then beaten again to death. It all happened behind that man's bakery whose cupcakes Natsu couldn't stay away from. The worst bit was that the police never managed to find the messed up bastard's identity.

He let out a breath, looking back up at his dad, a bit burdened. Oh why did his dad have to pull out that card? Natsu pouted, he's playing nasty.

"Alright, if you're really that worried about me, I'll accept it willingly."

Igneel sighed in relief, smiling gently at his fidgeting son. Even if that wasn't the genuine reason he wanted to assign his child a bodyguard, it was still a major concern he had at the back of his mind ever since his sweet wife was attacked. His jaw clenched at the revolting thought.

"Thank you for underst-"

"But not a bodyguard!"

Igneel smacked himself, trying keeping himself from roaring out in frustration. "Then what?!" he growled, pulling at his inky locks.

Natsu frowned up at him with doe eyes, "Maybe something less insulting."

Igneel rolled his eyes, such a difficult youngster his son was, "Fine, how about a guard?"

"Dad!" Natsu whined once again, stomping his feet, "That's the same thing!" Natsu was on the verge of throwing a tantrum. At least he accepted having some creepy stalker following him around everywhere, Igneel should for the utmost least, try to make this more socially acceptable.

"No it's not, a guard will stay out of your sassy bubble while a bodyguard wouldn't leave your side for a moment," Igneel cheekily stated.

Natsu just glared at his father.

"Alright, alright! Sheesh."

Igneel scratched at his stubble for a bit, dark pupils wondering over the figure of his son, "How about a form of a personal assistant in the estate, and they just keep a distant eye on you outside the property?"

Natsu tilted his head, pondering over his words as he slowly tapped his chin, copying his father.

"Can I order them around outside the Estate too?"

"Of course." Igneel chuckled.

"Deal!"

"Finally," the mentally exhausted man muttered. Persuading his son creates more of a headache than building a new property! In any case, at least that's done wi-

"But!" Natsu popped back up, grinning up at his old man. He turned his head back at his son with an exasperated expression; he'd thought the bloody rascal already left! Igneel let out a loud groan purposely, letting it echo boldly in the dark room to show his irritation.

"Natsu!-"

"Let me at least choose the person!" Natsu cut off quickly, sticking his tongue out and his eyes gleaming suddenly.

Igneel took a seat in his large and very comfortable chair, and sighed at his son, "Of course Natsu," he drawled out in irritation, "you will be present along with me when we are reviewing over the candidates chosen."

Natsu scowled at the boring thought. He stuck his bottom lip out and brought out the puppy dog eyes, " Daaad, I mean~ let me at least choose two of the weirdos you'll be judging! And then~," He brightened up once again, "the guys I choose must be taken under special consideration since the almighty Natsu Dragneel recommended them!" He spoke dramatically in excitement, twirling around with his arms spread as far as he could reach.

Igneel laughed at his son, who had a sudden mood change and bounced around excitedly, "Of course my son, whatever you wish."

Natsu cheered excitedly and jumped, punching his fist in the air in victory.

He finally flounced out of the room and into a bright hallway with large windows.

He'll pick the coolest people in the world! And since he, the almighty Natsu, has recommended these people, he's sure that his father will fall in awe with his choices and pick one of them immediately for sure! It'll be soooo much fun!

This whole guard thing suddenly didn't sound too bad to him.

Igneel's expression slowly turned to a grim stare once the large doors had closed behind his son. His eyes roamed the dark room with an empty gaze, eyes glazing over, and lost in his thoughts.

He hoped it wasn't true.

If his suspicions are accurate then it certainly won't be an easy route in the future. Everything would just unnecessarily get complicated, and if-Oh if the media got a hold of this-!

Igneel sighed heavily at the headache before shuffling some of the scattered forms on his polished, wooden desk.

His son would certainly need the additional protection if his suspicion becomes a reality.

The lively boy was humming as he bounced into the great hall through the grand doors. Looking out the window, he could catch a bit of the lively town he couldn't wait to walk through once again. His father had started appointing him a ton of sessions with his doctor recently, and it was super boring! He wouldn't even get a lollipop afterwards! Natsu pouted just thinking about it. He would be sent into his room instead, where he would just lay in bed and do nothing. It was terrible!

Soon though, he'll have someone to talk to all of the time!

He'll play a ton of pranks on him and get him in trouble. It'll be so much fun to finally watch someone else get punished that isn't him! Not to mention he'll have a new friend!

Oh, he was going to choose the best person ever! After all, it is Natsu Dragneel's assistant thingy.

He'll only have the best of the best!
