The rambunctious blaring of the small alarm clock jarred him out of his peaceful sleep and he quickly jolted up, smashing the snooze button as hard as he possibly could. He already woke up hella early because of the annoying beeping sound of the damn garbage truck, now this?! Should he be excited? Because he isn't.
"Fuck man…" he moaned tiredly.
The dread creeps over Natsu like an icy chill, numbing his brain. In the frozen state of his mind, it offers him only one thought. It is today. There is no avoiding it. His stomach is full of lead; his feet are set in concrete; his mind is worryingly empty. All Natsu can do is pray things slip into place.
Natsu hopped in the shower and let his back slouch a bit, hoping the hot water would wash away the dread and stress.
His shower alone has a panel with more than a hundred options you can choose from, regulating water temperature, pressure, soaps, shampoos, scents, oils, and massaging sponges. When you step out on the mat, heaters come on that blow dry his body. Instead of struggling with knots in his wet hair, he merely places a hand on a box that sends a current through his scalp, untangling, parting, and drying his hair almost instantly. So, he didn't really even have to get all ready, just a suit and some cologne, and his hair naturally had a spike, so no use for gel.
He didn't really know what to get ice prick or Erza and Mavis for Christmas so instead, Natsu just threw away the tickets they already had, and bought them tickets for first class instead of regular seats, he offered to get a private plane for them but Erza nearly killed him for that. He was rich anyways, so what was the big deal…? They were all out of first class tickets but when he said his name was Natsu Dragneel they squealed like a girl and of course found a way to get them for him, in return he had to take a picture with the girl at the front desk.
As Natsu arrived at the airport he sighed feeling sick already.
"Natsu!" Mavis squealed as she hopped on his back and hugged her arms around his neck.
"No piggybacks today" Natsu complained.
"You're no fun!"
"I know."
XoXoXo
"Be thankful I got you those for Christmas you lame excuse for a boss."
"This means a lot! Wendy never lets me have these pills!"
"Hmm, I wonder why? MAYBE BECAUSE YOU MIGHT OVERDOSE WITH THEM!"
"Who cares! Now I can enjoy this flight!" Natsu said as he put the motion sickness pills away and let out a breath of relief.
"Can't believe Erza made us sit together."
Natsu jabbed his earbuds into his ears.
"Huh? Can't hear ya."
Gray pulled them out and gave Natsu a serious glare.
"You need to be yourself…please, for me, for everyone…for Lucy!" Gray pleaded.
"Gray…" Natsu groaned peeved.
"This can't go on any longer!"
"Why not?"
"Why not!? Are you being serious right now!?" Gray asked with incredulity.
"I mean…yeah?"
"You know…I bet everyone will be glad there was still one thing about you that hasn't changed."
Natsu perked up a little with curiosity and a fleck of interest in his eyes.
"Really? What's that…?"
"Your stupidity."
Next thing they all know a voice is talking through the speakers.
"Row 1! Please Sit down, fighting is not allowed whatsoever!"
XoXoXo
"Ahh! Fresh air!" Natsu declared as he stretched his back and waited for his luggage.
"Not with you around."
"Care to say that to my face?!"
"Care to explain why you purposely gagged yourself to spit that pill back up and threw up all over me?!" Gray shouted causing Mavis to shoot him a glare.
"Actually, I did that on purpose."
"EXACTLY! SO WANT TO EXPLAIN IT!?"
"NATSU! GRAY!" Erza screamed before grabbing them by the collars of their shirts.
"SORRY!"
XoXoXo
"Natsu…just do it…"
"A little harder, please?!"
"It's not that hard!"
"AHHHH! NATSU!"
"DAMN! FLAME BRAIN JUST KNOCK ON THE GODAMN DOOR ALREADY!"
"SHIT I KNOW DAMN!"
Natsu took a deep breath, his hand kept freezing in midair every time he attempted to knock on his door.
"I'm getting bored over here!" Mavis exclaimed as she adjusted her ear muffins before crossing her arms and tapping her foot irascibly.
Knock, Knock.
He gulped apprehensively, adrenaline ferociously and brutally streaming through his veins. The light turned on, dimly showing itself through the silvery draperies blocking the inside of the window.
Oh gosh, it turned on someone is coming!
The door unlocked.
Shit, screw this.
Natsu turned around taking this as his cue to leave, however, both Erza and Gray turned him around and tightly gripped his shoulders like he was some pillow they could just squeeze all they want.
"Oh, Hel-…"
"Mommmmm~~" Natsu sang nervously.
XoXoXo
"I can't believe you decided to come back after all these years Natsu…"
"Mo-!"
Natsu was heartlessly cut off before he could even explain himself, he didn't even want to be having a conversation like this in front of everyone because they were inelegantly sitting there beside him.
"First Igneel, then you just disappeared…you know I sent cops out, they couldn't find you at first, however, I was later informed that you were in Crocus, working at Fairy Tail studio…aren't they famous? Well, I soon then heard about you on the news and TV, man Natsu you really have changed…"
"Mom…"
Natsu floundered for words, something to express the shock that coursed through him, but nothing came.
"Lucy…she…"
Natsu stood up and fixed his suit.
"I'm going to go get a drink…"
So with that, Natsu grabbed his keys for his rental car, opened the door and slammed it behind him.
"Gray…"
"I know," Gray said cutting off Erza before getting up and following Natsu.
"Mrs. Dragneel, why does Natsu get so worked up over this Lucy girl?" Erza asked.
"Well, a long time ago, when we just moved here, he found Lucy and they became best friends! But then I recall his elder brother, Zeref, saying that he expressed himself to her about how he feels only to be turned down? Which is confusing because after Natsu left…Lucy came to me…"
"What did she say if you don't mind me asking?"
"Not at all…let me tell you what she said…"
XoXoXo
"Goodness, this place has not changed…at all."
"Yeah, even the cracks are the same" Gray pointed out as they stared at the pub they always went to, also owned by Fairy Tail studio, there was a newer version of the pub that Fairy Tail rebuilt, however, the old one always had all the memories, everyone thought so too that's why it was still packed.
"Never thought the day would come where I would walk into this pub and say we own it, huh?"
Natsu gave a quick nod before venturing a little deeper into the crowds of people, their words distorted because of the loud clanks of tankards and loud screams because of the game on the large flat screen. He looked behind him to see Gray frozen in shock as he stared at two blue heads next to a guy with long black hair.
"Gray?"
Natsu was transfixed on Gray's face.
What the hell was he staring at?
Why is his face so red anyways?!
Natsu slowly looked in the direction Gray was looking, and all Natsu could do was smirk. He now knew why Gray remained numb in his place, defeated by the sight before him.
"So Gray…looks like Juvia is camping out over there. You better go make a move bud…I'll be glad to be your wingman for tonight!"
"…"
"Gray?" Natsu said before turning to his left to see Gray already gone.
"What the actual fuck?! Guess he wasn't ready to come down here after all."
"Eh, I guess I'll go say hi, I know her anyways" Natsu shrugged before casually walking over to her.
Natsu could already hear her voice from a distant, it was the only voice different from others anyways I mean, I'm pretty sure there's no one else talking in fucking third person…
"Juvia thinks she needs a drink" she sighed.
"I'll be happy to buy ya one!" Natsu winked.
Juvia looked over and froze.
"N-Natsu!?"
The sudden whisper of his voice caused some people to whip their heads around savagely, to see if what they just heard was true.
Ever since Natsu left, no one dared to mention his name for some time because of Lucy's condition.
"WHAT THE FUCK!? SALAMANDER?!"
"NATSU!?"
"DRAGNEEL!?"
Gajeel! Levy! Juvia! Loke… Natsu's excitement died out.
"Wow! Look at you! Da fuck man!? You even got rid of that trash hanging from your neck!"
Something inside of Natsu just clicked. Like his humanity and sanity was shut off and locked away somewhere…somewhere where he no longer had to think about it.
"Do you fucking see me coming up to you after being gone for 10 years just to say, OI! LOKE DID YOU FUCKING GET RID OF THOSE FUCKING UGLY GLASSES!? WHAT IF I WAS IN A FUCKING WHEELCHAIR!? WOULD YOU COME OVER AND SAY~ AYEEE! YOU GOT RID OF THAT WHEELCHAIR FINALLY! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU…YOU BASTARD!? YOU RUINED HALF MY FUCKIN LIFE!"
"…"
The bar got quiet and even the flat screen TV turned off so the quiet voices and glares could be observed without noise.
Levy nervously gulped and Gajeel just smirked.
"He comes back and starts a fight…?" Levy groaned with annoyance as she sweat dropped.
"That's Salamander for ya! Stupidity hasn't changed!"
"Told him that already" a voice cut in.
Juvia's eyes went wide as she still stared at the fight in front of her. Who knew that just his voice could make her gush out tears already…
"Juvia…" he whispered her name, sending a chill through her.
"Gray…"
Gray gave his soft smile before bringing her into a soft welcoming embrace.
"Never thought the day would come where I would be doing this, huh?"
People who were crowding to see the fight smiled warmly at the couple until a loud voice cut in.
"NO FIGHTING! LISANNA TURN THE TV BACK ON PLEASE?"
"YEAH SURE THING LUCY!" a voice shouted from across the bar before attention around Natsu and Loke started to die out, returning back on the game.
Levy started choking on her Bloody Marry as her eyes shifted back from Natsu and Lucy.
"Shrimp, don't make it so obvious!" Gajeel hissed as he rubbed his temples.
Natsu stared wide-eyed at the woman standing on top of the bar counter.
Her now long dirty blonde hair that was a couple inches past her waist was pulled into a perfect side ponytail, allowing those gentle soft bangs of hers to hang above her eyebrows. The small thin body she once possessed was now curvaceous, every curve bringing lust to everyone's eyes as some snickered at her before wiping their mouth probably from drool. Her dark brown eyes were indeed dark, from a distance, dark brown eyes would look black, but no…hers were sparkling with glimmer and every emotion and expression you could ever think of glistening in her eyes. Her skin was now pale, very fair that she looked like she needed some sun. Goodness…her rack…was…very large that Natsu had to take a longer look to determine if those were even real or if she decided to get a boob job after all these years, after some observing, he came to the conclusion they were real. The shirt was a belly shirt, stopping right below her breasts, exposing her whole stomach as well as her back, and the skirt she wore, was just as short, her underwear showing through the transparent pink silky fabric.
Natsu's cheeks were drained of all color as he read the brand of her underwear through her skirt.
'Victoria's Secret'
She wore high leather brown boots with some golden keys strapped to her belt around her skirt as well as a whip.
Wait what?! What the fuck!? Why THE FUCK! DID SHE HAVE A WHIP!?
"Ouch buddy…" Gray winked.
"Looks like Lucy is camping over there better go make a move bud, I'll be glad to be your wingman for tonight!"
Natsu felt his blood boiling as well as his breathing.
I said that first now he's just gonna go stealing peoples' smart ass remarks!? What the fuck is wrong with this Ice Cube!?
"Mannn! Isn't it Natsu, the guy who despised my guts! Cheers!" a voice said.
Natsu whipped his head viciously around, his anger seething, given in the form of an eerie atmosphere around him.
"Yeah! Cheers to Jellal!" Natsu kindly said.
"Aw, shit Natsu don't mess with him right now…especially since you know who came down with us…" Gray hissed silently.
"Look! Bud!" Natsu shouted, easily ignoring Gray's comment.
"I only know you through Erza! It's not my fault that you got kicked out of Crocus because of your idiotic decisions! Now look where ya are! I'll damn right burn your fucking ass with those blue hairs of yours if you ever dare do that to Erza again! Got it Blue Clues!? Because I'll be damn right honest with you, she's here with us! Just imagine what she would do when she heard you were here. She'd come looking for ya to talk but knowing you! You'd probably just fucking manipulate her again you blue ass maniac! So to sum one thing up for ya!"
Natsu grabbed Jellal by the collar of his shirt and brutally pulled him to where his forehead bashed into Natsu's before resting there to be met by Natsu's raging infuriated eyes.
"I don't want you fuckin around her…because no one messes with my damn friends, even if you guys do ever come to good terms, I'll never fully forgive you for what you have done to her! Because…when you mess with Fairy Tail you mess with all of us…I fucking guarantee you that with no fucking discount!"
"He'll burn your blue ass, and I'll freeze your blue ass got that?!" Gray joined in.
Jellal uncomfortably fidgeted until Natsu harshly let go, allowing Jellal to move away. As Natsu turned around, all attention was now on him again…and damn…that's not the worst part…
"Natsu…"
"…Lucy…" his voice cracked.
Muaha.
