"Zeref what did they do to you?" The Fairy Tail group was shooked by his sudden question. Not only did he care what happened to Zeref but he had also assumed they had done something to him.

"They didn't do anything. I was simply caught up in the war that I may have gotten ahead of myself."

"Natsu," that was Lucy's voice this time "You know we wouldn't do anything so horrible right?"

Natsu was still a little shaken. He didn't understand why they would be so offended so he ignored her question "Zeref where's my scarf?"

His once huge smile shrunk to a sad looking grin. "So that's why you came. Well it's not like I expected anything more." He pulled out the scarf from the inside of robe and stretched his hand out as much as they should. The bruises on his wrist seemed to get darker as he pushed his hand forward. "Here go on take it. If that's all you care about,"

Natsu still failed to see why Zeref was acting sad around him. Natsu still couldn't reach his scarf so he approached him cautiously. "Natsu…" Happy's concerned voice filled Natsu head with annoyance yet happiness.

"I'll be fine," When he was finally at arm lengths with Zeref he snatched his scarf from his hands. Zeref stared a little in disbelief but his small smile returned once again. Natsu had succeeded to wrap the scarf around his neck and was about to leave but Zeref's voice stopped him.

"You really have forgotten me, haven't you?" Zeref had tears welling up in his eyes as Natsu stood there in silence. "You forgot of your own big brother." Natsu stepped back a little as he looked towards the Fairy tail group. He was about to explain but once again Zeref beat him to it. "You stupid Fairies made him forget about me." Zeref stood up, shaking a little. Memories of his once loving little brother flooded in the back of his eyes until they slipped down his cheeks.

"Natsu you're Zeref's little brother?" That was Gray's voice. He sounded more worried but a hint of anger mixed in.

"I.. I was… I only just found out… I don't even know," Natsu stuttered out the words as he focused back on them. Lucy's eyes were wide and her hands were covering her mouth. Erza's face showed nothing but shock as Juvia stood there only looking at Gray in worry. Happy had flew back a little. He was in shock too. Not because of what Zeref had said, no he already knew that from when Natsu had tried to fight him, but because Zeref said it so suddenly and in front of all of them.

"Natsu did you forget about the promise I made to you?"

That sounded so familiar. It made him sad that he forgot something so important to someone else. He wanted to remember, he really did but he couldn't. "What promise?" He finally asked hoping that it might refresh his memory of his past.

"So you did forget," Zeref sat back down

"Natsu what is he talking about?" Gray asked

"What promise?" Natsu wanted to know what he was talking about.

"Natsu you need to explain this to us," Lucy's small voice echoed in his head. He looked over for a slight second to see Juvia running outside calling for people as Happy chased after her.

"What promise Zeref." He grabbed on to his collar and pulled him closer. Giving a threatening look.

"Natsu you need to explain this. Now." Erza's threatening voice sent shivers down his spine but he didn't react to her.

Instead he looked at Zeref waiting for an answer. Zeref's cheeks were almost dry and the small smile had once again appeared on his face. He placed both hands on Natsu's cheeks. He flinched at the touch but didn't push him away "You're skin is so hot," Zeref stated as he moved his right hand to Natsu's forehead "And pale. Are you sure you're okay or are you just stressing out? I don't want you getting sick."

"Tell me about the promise." Natsu refused to let it go

"Natsu forget about him for a FEW SECONDS AND ANSWER US!" Gray was beginning to get angrier by the minute.

"You know, when we were kids you used to always get sick easily but a few hours of sleep usually cleared it up."

"Natsu…?" Lucy was about to say something but Natsu looked back at Zeref.

"Tell me about the promise." Zeref smirked and leaned in to his ear.

"Just take a little nap, okay? You look really pale."

"No!" Natsu screamed "Just tell me about the damn promise."

"You don't really have a choice in the matter." Zeref's smirk turned into a soft smile as he snapped his fingers, small amounts of magic leaked out of his body. Natsu seemed shocked at first but he began to relax. His body stiffened as he began to fall. Zeref caught him once again and held him close to his chest. Natsu's eyes were fighting to stay open but something refused to let him stay awake. He heard the Fairy tail group run over to him but he didn't look over. Small droplets of tears fell on his face as he closed his eyes to the sight of Zeref crying.

"Goodnight baby brother."

A/N: I was originally going to have chapter 2 and 3 one chapter but I decided against it and split them up.
