Check out my profile for a sequel! It doesn't really go with this story so I made a new one. It's called Diary of the Fallen. I'm planning for it to be somewhere along the lines of a 2,3, or 4 shot story.
And because it's against the rules to post a chapter with no actual story content in it, here's a one-shot NaLi thats filled with fluff! Enjoy!
Red Umbrella
So... cold...
How dare they mock him! Igneel was real! Igneel was his father! He had even given him a scarf, his last gift to his foster son. Natsu had stormed off in a huff and now was sitting over the edge of the pier, just silently fuming and thinking.
"You know, you'll get a cold if you stay out too long!" a blunt voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned around. He saw a little girl in a pink dress, holding up a red umbrella.
"I'm a fire dragon slayer!" he proudly informed her. "I never get cold!" Natsu tried to put on a brave face so she would go away and leave him alone.
He turned back around and crossed his arms defiantly. What he didn''t expect was a warm blanket wrapping around his shoulders.
"Yeah, but then why are you shivering?" she sweetly asked.
He stiffened, and broke down in a rush.
"JUST GO AWAY!"
"Shh..." she shushed him, and wrapped the blanket tighter around him.
He started to choke up with tears. "They don't believe me! I actually did have a dad that's a dragon!"
"I believe you." she stated simply.
"I know that you don't believe me, but- wait. Did you just say you believed me?"
"Umm... I believe so. I've never seen one before! Was your dad huge? And did he breathe fire?"
"Yes and yes!"
They went on and on, the girl asking questions and the boy answering them with gusto. It had been a while since he had been able to explain his dad, mainly because nobody would listen. But this girl did.
She had broken through his heart, seen him for what he really was.
And he loved her for it.
