Chapter 1

"I know how it must feel Mr. Dragneel, but this loss shouldn't prevent you from going into rehab. You shouldn't need to feel like you're responsible for it nor punish yourself for ti either." The psychiatrists soft voice spoke from the side of the laying down chair which Natsu was resting on.

Natsu sighed heavily. He closed his onyx eyes to think but instead a small flash back of the death of his long time crush and childhood friend, it played like an old yet still fresh film in back of his eyelids.

Many times he would think over the time she joined the military, how he should've told her other wise. To some how convince her to stay home in Magnolia with her elder sister, Mirajane Struass. But no, she wouldn't listen, she wouldn't listen to anyone in fact. He chuckled lightly at the memory of her well known stubbornest, she wasn't one to back down and the moment she known of his enrolment she was quick to jump in too.

"Mister Dragneel?" The Psychiatrist interrupted after no response for quite some time.

Natsu snapped out of the happy memories he and Lisanna shared, his heart ached now with the sudden remembrance of her death. He glanced at the older woman who was still rather beautiful for her age, her aging hair tied into a neat bun above her head. Her make up shaped her eyes to style like a cats, the effect made her blue eyes pop from the black eyeliner and her lips were painted a light shade of red. Usually they were full but at the moment they were pressed thinly together.

"Mr. Dragneel, I'm going to suggest a place where you can go for a bit of rehabilitation. You may go at any time you wish, seeing as you don't particularly want to be near others who are in the same situation as your self. This place will be the best choice." Her voice still as soft like a feather, of course this skill was developed over the years.

Natsu stayed silent as she wrote down the address he was sure to never bother using. Personally he really didn't want to do anything about himself, If it weren't mandatory to attend these appointments to the psychiatrist, Natsu wouldn't even bother to come to it.

"I wish you would at least try to fix your self physically, Mr. Dragneel. It'll do you much good and help you move to the next step to recovering." She peeled the page off the pad and handed the note to him.

To hurry this meeting along he just took the note off her hands and without looking at its contents, shoved it into his pants pocket. He pulled himself to sit upright and looked at his shaky hands holding weakly on top his knees. Without another word he stood up and made his way to the exit, he managed to get the door half way open before the psychiatrist spoke up again.

"I figure you're not planning to follow my suggestion but I strongly hope you should think it over before making the decision right away."

Natsu left the room without looking back in her direction and glad to be heading home to his little shack in the outskirts of the city.

The following morning, Natsu woke up looking up to a dusty and spider web filled ceiling. He groaned inwardly about another day in misery and pain. The walk to the psychiatrist and back took a serious toll on his injured knee. When he sat up and tossed his legs off the side of the bed he pinched the bridge of his nose in tired frustration.

The door creaked catching Natsu's attention, he looked up from his behind his hand and spotted his loyal best friend and pet; Happy. The very same cat he and Lisanna found and taken care of together, named it too. Another reminder of the happy times they had as children; he was fine remembering her in good memories but the bad ones though, especially the memory of her death haunted his mind every night.

Happy made his way over to Natsu's bad leg and went around it, rubbing his body in affection. Letting him know that he was there if he ever needed the company. Natsu gave him a lop sided smile and patted his head; ruffling his fur between the ears.

"Thanks Happy, I know you'll always be there for me buddy. " Natsu told his cat while getting up off the mattress.

Natsu was preparing himself breakfast lazily even too lazy to bother getting changed, leaving himself in his mid thigh length black flame printed boxers. For someone so lazy his body build spoke other wise. His exposed body revealed well trained muscles, his chest was ripped with a clear six pack and legs like a racer. If anyone were to guess his job based on his current appliance, they would say right off the bat he was an underwear model.

While turning away from the frying pan he ran one of his hands through his hair, feeling happy that it has finally grown out of the military buzz cut. He went off and stood in front of one of his mirrors to stare at his messy pink hair or better put; salmon head of hair. Lucky for him it grew out nice and evenly but now it was a little bit longer to be short resulting in this kind of spiky style. The bed head added to the style and to top it all his constant hand running through his bangs pushed them upward revealing his face more.

"Look at this Happy, it's already styled for me -Not like I was going to style it anyways." Natsu told his cat, he looked looked over to the couch where Happy laid comfortably on its cushion when he didn't hear a response.

Happy's opened one dark brown eye which looked more black; looked at his owner. His one eye blankly stared at Natsu clearly stating that he really didn't care what Natsu looked like. Natsu opened his mouth when his stronger than average sense of smell caught a whiff of his burning eegs. He rush back to the kitchen to finish up his breakfast served with burnt eegs. After a decent meal in his stomach he decide to clean himself off, he may be down in the dumps but not enough to not enough to 'not' take care of himself at home.

Now clean and refreshed he put on the same jeans he wore the day before on, given that he only wore it for 3 hours prier; in his terms they were still clean. After doing up his belt he shoved his hands into his pocket to check if there was any extra change he might of forgotten but instead he felt a folded up piece of paper. He pulled the page out and looked at the address written neatly on its other wise empty lines, just now recalling the psychiatrist words.

"I figure you're not planning to follow my suggestion but I strongly hope you should think it over before making the decision right away."

The voice of the psychiatrist replayed in the back of his conscious, the longer he stared at the page the more he thought that maybe she might be right.

"I wish you would at least try to fix your self physically, Mr. Dragneel."

Her voice echoed again, it would sure make traveling easier if he tried to fix up his leg. His doctor claimed that the pain will lessen greatly with rehab and that he would be able to run even. He like the sound of that. He looked up towards his cat, easily spotting him off the black leather with his also flashy blue colored fur -don't ask how that happened.

"What do you think I should do, Happy?" He asked.

Happy opened his eyes and looked up at Natsu; 'I'm not you' kind of look came onto Happy's small blue face and then looking away almost like he was saying, 'do what you want'. Natsu gave a small glared at his blue pet.

"Well you're no help." He paused and looked out the window, pondering his decision. "Guess I'll just see how this place is."

Natsu picked up his thick dark gray jacket of the back of his dinner table chair, the weather has been getting colder. Worst time to start going to rehabilitation, especially when you have a leg injury and can't take transportation due to motion sickness. Yup the worst time to decide to go out.

Okay, so. I'm in the middle of re-reading this story of mine and realized that it might need a little fixing here and there. I'm still not perfect so obviously there's still going to be a few spelling/grammar mistakes lying around, I'll most likely do something like this again in the late future. Anyway, I didn't change the main point, just the way it's being written so don't worry I'm not throwing you guys through a loop.

Hopefully there are less mistakes now...

I had gone trough 5 different plot lines to get to this one, I had to literally ask my family which was better out of them all. Trust me, they aren't the type which likes romantic stories like I do so there was much debating on my part. But finally I ended up here at the end of this chapter, CHAPTER 1. AT LAST!

I hope you guys like the story so far, I plan for this to be a rather long story. Maybe around 13-14 chapters long or possibly even longer cause personally I like long stories. Anyways I'm sure you don't want to continue reading my rambling sense it has nothing to do with the story, I hope you guys are looking forward to chapter 2.
