[This is a AU story where Natsu isn't END and Zeref brother. ]

Prologue

[Natsu's Age: 2]

"M-mama" A Salmon pink haired child asked looking at his mother who is barely breathing, holding him close as she used her body to protect her son, from who? He didn't know.

"N-Natsu, Shush…. E-everything" she coughed and the child felt something hot drip on his cheeks, he fought the urge to look focusing more on his mother's face. "Everything will be alright, my little summer"

"Mama, what's wrong?" Natsu asked, ignoring the warmth surrounding them.

"N-nothing is wrong, my beloved summer." His mother said staring at his cute and lovely son's dark orbs, slightly tearing as she touched him with slightly green glowing hand. "Would you like to sleep, eh Natsu?"

Feeling sleepy, Natsu nod his head and close his eyes, missing the longing look on his mother's face

"Good night, mama" The child mumbled before falling asleep. His mother cried silently as life started to fade from her eyes much like the one the child bear.

"Sweet dreams, Natsu. Good bye my son, Remember, Mama always loves you." With a last kiss in the forehead, life fade from her eyes, her body slump against the body of the child and flames started to consume both of them or mostly the body of the mother while the son is left alone.

-who do you think I am? I am the most awesome line break, you will ever meet. Actually not really-

Destruction…

Wreckage…

Ruined…

Ashes…

Death…

That's the word that came to mind as Zeref looked around surveying the damage the place that used to be a lively town receive. Everything is a mess here… Even if there's no dead body lying around, the place smelled fire, ashes and death.

And as far Zeref observe there's no survivor…

This place reminds Zeref of something he didn't want to but constantly forced to remember. He held his head as he felt what little control he has on his magic snapped. Zeref close his eyes so that he can't see what more damage he had added to this ruined town. Tears started to drop as he felt every living thing around him die.

…Please let me die…

Zeref fisted few of his locks in desperation to get his power back in control.

…I want to die…

…Please let me die already…

…Someone kill m-

Tiny warm hands touch his cheeks. Zeref's eyes snapped open and met the warmest dark orbs he ever seen.

"Are you okay, mister?" The cute tiny voice filled with concern snap him from his dazed trance.

Zeref, now out of his musing, take a good look at the new comer slash intruder to his personal space and noticed few things, few startlingly things that shook Zeref to the core.

One, the new comer is a toddler… if Zeref was to guess, at the age of four.

Two, He seems to be a survivor as he is full of scratches and ashes but strangely no burns.

Three, He have Salmon pink hair and Black orbs that looks cute on him.

Four, He is partially naked except for his shorts

Five, the toddler in observation is not dead…or is he just an illusion?

And six, the ground which is dead earlier is slowly coming back to life.

"Mister, Mister, Are you okay?" The toddler asked looking worried that broke Zeref out of his current train of thoughts. Zeref poked the kid to test is he was real; it causes the toddler to giggle.

"Stop that…*giggles*… Mister…." The toddler continued to laugh making Zeref's cold heart (or it is just broken?) to felt warm…

"You are real…You really are here!" Zeref mumbled before hugging the toddler who enjoy it and hug back.

After a few moments of that, both let go of each other. Zeref was hesitant to let the first thing in 400 hundred years that he hugged that didn't instantly die as soon as he touched it go. The kid is also hesitant to let Zeref go as he is the first comfort the Toddler have after what happened.

"What's your name?" Zeref asked the toddler who just smiled at Zeref cutely.

"My name is Natsu Goldheart" he then raised two fingers and showed it to Zeref. "And I'm two"

To say Zeref is shocked is understandable. He estimated that Natsu is four based on his Speech. Not two… But really Two years old and can speak full sentences. Natsu must be smart. (A/N: ^^)

"What about you? Mister"

"I am Zeref Dragneel." Zeref smiled and Natsu smiled back. "Pleased to meet you Natsu"

(Time skip: 1 year.)

[Natsu's Age: 3]

A year has passed since Zeref and Natsu met in Natsu's Former village and Zeref found many interesting things about Natsu.

Natsu Goldheart now Dragneel (A/N: Not out of marriage.) is a hyper kid who would rather jump around outside than read books but would do so if asked but it will be quick. Natsu have the ability of 'Flash Reading' it's a permanent spell cast by his mother on him. Flash reading as the name imply lets the user to read books in few minutes rather than hours.

Natsu also loved to show affection which Zeref is graced with and he have a huge admiration for Spicy Food and Cakes.

He had a Spot-on instinct and quick reflexes.

And insanely immunity for fire

But to Zeref's amusement, have a terrible fear of the dark.

He also have a Photographic Memory that Zeref considers as a curse, because of this, Natsu have all his memory of what happened on his village during the attacked and have nightmares about it.

Natsu remembers how his real parents, Ein and Sierra Goldheart dies on that day. He remembers his father's body lay there still as Dark guild mages kicked it. He remembers the last word of his mother as before he fell asleep. He remembers waking up with his mother's half burnt body on top of him and he remembers watching his village burn around him and just laying there waiting for death before he found Zeref crying there as if he cause the village to burn BUT Natsu remained strong, he didn't give up and to Zeref's relief, didn't let darkness consume his heart.

Natsu didn't seek revenge nor swore vengeance. He moved on with his life but kept his Parent's memories at his heart along with the memories he kept on making with Zeref and Zeref admire and thanked Natsu for that.

Zeref and Natsu's relationship moved from being strangers to being friends and settled to father and son.

Zeref's admiration for Natsu grow to parental love and because of that, Zeref decided to adopt Natsu as he's own son. He knows the danger of that status but Zeref will go to hell and back before he let someone hurt his beloved cute son, that's how much Zeref love Natsu. He loved his cute, adorable, adventurous, cheerful and smart son who brought light back to his world.

Natsu's ability to negate Zeref curse is just an added bonus.

"Papa, I'm Hungry." Natsu came inside the house dirty from playing outside. He was wearing a open black jacket with red shirt underneath. He wore a tan shorts and a sandals.

"What do you want to eat?" Zeref asked, he is wearing his normal clothes and a PINK apron on top, standing in front of the kitchen counter.

The apron was a gift from Natsu who won it on a festival… wait did I forgot to mention they are living on a cabin near the sea just outside a town? Nope? I'm sorry..

(A/N: What the, Hey Natsu*, don't break the fourth wall!)

It's not my fault, its Fuyu's fault. She breaks it with a sledge hammer. DON'T BLAME ME!

(A/N: uhh…*sweatdops*… Just get back to the story Natsu*)

Okay….*Coughs*.

Natsu then started to jog to Zeref and hug his leg making Zeref laugh.

"Sandwiches"

End chapter's author's note

Yui: Heya, I am the author and I don't own Fairy tail.

Fuyu: And as you can see this is our first time writing in this category so please forgive us with the OOCness of the characters present and yet to come.

Natsu (Author): You also have to forgive us for the wrong spelling and grammatical error. We would try our best to avoid these things.

Natsu (Fairy Tail): You have the same name as me.

Natsu (Author): oh that's right…Oi, Yui-san. This will be a problem later on as you will probably keep making characters appear here. (You will probably keep Natsu-san here)

Yui: *thinks* Okay, Here's a solution. Natsu Dragneel will remain Natsu and You, My Beloved Natsu will be called Aki here.

Aki (Natsu): what? Why?

Yui: Don't want to call you Haru, caused there's Haru from Rave master?

Aki: wait you mean Characters from Rave master will appear here as well?

Yui: maybe.

Fuyu: Hey, hey let's do that.

Yui: I'll think about it.

Natsu: So, what are we going to do now?

Yui: Oh right… Please review. Comments and criticism are welcome. It will help me improved, just don't send flames. It will hurt me.

Fuyu: For me, on the other hand, encourage you to send flames so that Natsu-kun can eat it and maybe send it back full force *crackles evilly*

Aki: *sighed* Ah, I forgot. I think this is a Gray X Natsu story right? I mean a story with the main pairing as yaoi but the side story is normal. Like Loki x Lucy, Jellal x erza, Zeref X Mavis right?

Yui: Yup. Sideparings are open for discussion but the main is yaoi. No discussion there. SO yeah.. Bye bye and don't forget to review!
