Companionship

*This is my first FanFiction! I'm not very good at writing but I thought that making some stories in one of my favorite universes would be a great start. This story will be taking place in a more modern version of Fiore but Natsu's in high school. Think of the layout of the school and characters like from the Fairy Tail OVA when they were in school. Though this story is more gloomy. Tell me what you guys think! Lemons might happen but were talking way later in this story if it happens. I'd like this to be a long series!

Natsu hurried towards his room with a large exciting expression on his face. "It's finally out!" he thinks, thumping fast towards the door. Natsu always felt that video games were always a safe haven to avoid thinking about the days ahead and his life in itself. He lived by himself after his parents had moved him out when he was fourteen. All the way across the country. Coming to Fiore, he never made any real friends in the past year. At school he had people to talk to that possibly liked him but never invited him to participate in activities. He goofed off a lot and tried to be this funny guy thinking it would make people want to like him, but overall he felt like a joke. People started taking him for a push over and made fun of what he looked like and how he acted. He gave them a bad impression. He started to close into himself a few months ago. Feeling as if no one cared about his emotions, he wondered if it was himself that was the problem. Maybe he just wasn't good enough. Maybe he had no connection with anybody. The only people he could think of that respected him and thought he was cool was a man named Gildarts that was always down at the Fairy Tail Cafe. As well as the people that worked there.

Natsu opened his door and stumbled his way towards computer. The computer was in sleep mode so he was able to boot it up faster than if he had turned off before going to school. The game booted it up but then crashed. Natsu thought maybe it was a one-time thing and opened the game again. Crash. Looking into it for a few minutes apparently there was a bug that restricted the game from opening. "The first game I get for my new PC doesn't work of course. It's almost like the developers don't test their games before release anymore.. I can't wait one week for a patch!" He looked around his room looking for something to do. He picked up his phone but then put it down knowing that nobody wanted to talk to him. He chuckled to himself, "Why would they? What's so interesting about me? One year and nothing's come out of it." Natsu decided not to feel down about it and got up to look at an old picture of him and his family..together. "Pops. Mom. Why?". The pink-haired teen held back his tears, he thought they had dried up a long time ago. "If only this game worked I wouldn't be feeling this way would I?" He thought to himself.

He heard a buzzing from his phone. He looked down in shock. His phone was actually ringing. At first Natsu speculated it to be telemarketers but when he saw the 777 area code he knew it was from his area. He picked it up to answer the call, "Hello?" he asks cautiously. "Hello, is this Natsu?" the tender voice asks. "Yes?" he answers. "Umm, this is Lucy from school". Natsu glances off towards the wall.

Thanks for reading! Next chapter will be way longer than this. This was just a few pieces of character info for Natsu and what he's gone through in the past year. Photo cred : art/Fairy-tail-Natsu-and-Lucy-highschool-uniform-1-508349993
