Natsu's POV

I can't believe that Blaze is here! I wonder where he's been; after all I haven't seen him since Igneel left. I wonder why he came after all it has been fourteen years since I last saw him. He disappeared after… no I don't want to think about such sad memories, this is a happy time. Speaking of Happy why's he been so quiet. I look around for my furry friend and see him hiding behind Lucy who looks shocked and uneasy, probably because of Blaze. I wonder if Blaze has been searching for Igneel all this time. Although I want to run up to him and cling to his arm and never let go I know he'll just keep throwing me around, and plus Luce looks like she needs to be brought out of her thought process. Well maybe I should introduce him to Lucy since she's obviously not capable of thinking right now.

"Blaze these are my best friends and partners Lucy and Happy" I state rather excitedly while moving to sling my arm over Luce's shoulder like a sideways hug, bringing her back out of Lucy land. Blaze doesn't look impressed, but that's ok I didn't expect him to. He's never been a people person and it'll take him a while to get used to people. I remember when we ran into travelers when we were little while Igneel was out getting food and he was very harsh and fearsome which surprised me since he is usually very friendly. Well I'm sure he'll warm up to Luce fairly quickly, everyone does.

"Tch, nice to meet you. If I may ask how do you know Natsu?" Blaze asks them in a cautious and untrusting tone. Well that could have been worse, I thought to myself while keeping the grin on my face that probably looked a little forced after that comment. Although she didn't show it, I could tell it bothered Luce as well, but she's always been able to mask her unease and sadness from everyone so I doubt Blaze noticed. It's only really noticeable to people who know her really well, I can also tell that Blaze's appearance isn't helping her settle down. He looks more animalistic than I do for some reason, and has dragon like green eyes.

"It's nice to meet you as well, I'm Lucy as Natsu said before and he's the one who brought me to Fairy Tail. I met Natsu in Hargeon Town, and he hatched Happy here from an egg." She replied in an upbeat tone with one of her heartwarming smiles. Happy just stated "Aye" when he was mentioned while flying around her in order to be held in her arms. Blaze narrowed his eye at the mention of Hargeon, weird, but whatever he seemed interested in the fact that I hatched Happy from an egg, but other than that Blaze just seemed indifferent. "I see" was all he said while giving me a sideways look. While our eyes met we seemed to be having an staring contest, but in fact we were conversing the way twins do, meaning with our eyes. It was then that Kyo decided that he should make his presence known.

"Blaze is he really your twin brother?" asked Kyo, while Lucy shrugged off my arm and said,

"I'm sure you guys are hungry, I'll go set the food out in our usual spot Natsu. Take your time talking" I felt kinda bad because while Blaze and I were having our stair down I had totally forgotten about Lucy.

"Sure Luce we'll meet you there in a little bit" I replied while briefly breaking eye contact with my brother. I was excited because I knew that Blaze would be more open now that Lucy was going to set up lunch. Although I felt slightly guilty for her leaving, I figured that I would make it up to her later after I caught up with Blaze. Once I saw her leave the clearing I ran over and clung to Blaze exactly like I had wanted to which immediately set me at ease with the guilt I felt.

"Sorry for making your friend Lucy leave, but you know I don't like new people. I also wanted a chance to talk to you alone, and I know you want to as well. I also didn't want anything to interfere with our reunion " Blaze began. I nodded, surprised that he allowed me to stay clinging to his arm. I guess he also felt a little guilty about making Luce leave, but I know she understands. I began asking questions rapidly.

"Where have you been all this time I've looked for you and Igneel everywhere. Did you intentionally leave me behind in the forest that day or did something happen? Do you know where Igneel is? Why did now of all time did you come find me? Why…"

"Slow down Natsu, I'm not going anywhere yet so let me answer a few of your questions. I've been around training, traveling, and such. I didn't want to leave you that day in the clearing but I had to, the magic council was after me because of my magic, you remember me learning some of the advanced dragon slayer arts right. They were after me for that and I didn't want you to be involved. As to why I've come looking for you now, that's because I heard about Acnologia and that was really stupid, did you want to die?" Blaze stated punching me in the head.

At that point I totally forgot all my other questions and just fought my brother like the good old days while the exceeds played in the stream, then tried to fish. After a while Blaze pinned me down and he continued to tell me about his travels. We talked for a while then headed to where the smell of food was, I figured that Happy must have gone ahead with Kyo because they weren't anywhere to be seen.

Blazes POV

I wonder what Natsu's relationship is to that Lucy girl, I know I should have probably been nicer to her but I have always had a hard time accepting new people. I don't really have much experience with them either, Natsu's friend was the first person not in my family that I have really tried to be somewhat civil with. I can tell that he feels bad about her going off, but I could see that she understood that I wanted to be alone with my little brother and I thank her for that. I'm glad that Natsu has finally stopped clinging to me, but it took me forever to convince him that yes I was staying in Magnolia for now and no, I wasn't planning to leave anytime soon. I'm glad that I still scare him enough so that he would stop talking and lead us to where Lucy set up lunch.

I was happy for the first time in fourteen years since I saw him last, I wasn't sure what to think when I heard about Acnologia, but I'm glad he made it out in one piece. I had been slowly giving up hope that I would ever see Natsu again after those seven years, but I managed to keep a little hope that he wasn't dead. That's why I felt I had to fight him; I felt the need to beat it into his thick skull that he was never to do something so stupid again. When I heard that he was back I knew that I had to go see him, I felt that if I didn't I would never see him again. It's as the saying goes one twin is never complete without the other. It has always been true for us and I could tell that our time apart had taken a toll on Natsu. I could see it in his eyes.

While we were walking I asked him questions about his guild Fairy Tail, the different quests he's been on, his training, and so on. When we finally got to the spot with food I was surprised to see that everything had been laid out with two plates sitting on top of a picnic blanket. I saw Kyo and Happy sitting and eating some of the fish they caught while waiting for us to get there. When I sat down I notice that the Lucy girl wasn't there, when I was about to mention it I saw a piece of paper that was addressed to Natsu, which read…

Natsu I know that you probably want to spend some quality time with your brother so I'll see you tomorrow at the guild. Have fun and don't forget to return the basket and dishes to Mira tomorrow.

-Lucy

"Hey Natsu there's a note here for you" once he read it he gave a slight smile, and I said, "That was nice of her."

"Well that's Luce for you! She knows these things" Natsu said simply with a shrug, before inhaling food. Thankfully he managed to remember to leave some for the rest of us. I ate quickly, because I knew he was going to want to spend all day talking. For some reason I had a bad feeling about Lucy, but I didn't think much about it because I didn't really know her. All I care about is my brother and Kyo, well I guess Happy now too.

I don't own Fairy Tail.
