Chapter7
The red head jumped throwing her swords towards her opponent the pink haired. She suddenly jumped when he jumped at her with fire in his fist. She dodged many times but she realized that the dragon slayer has really became faster than usual. She guessed that it was because of the physical training he was doing. Erza heared from Happy that Natsu runs 5 km everyday and he keeps doing exercise before he comes to the guild. She loved his determination that was fired but, she kept worrying about him. Not only her, the entire of the guild's members and even the master realized.
They tried not to bother him with advising him not to overdo things because he would say that they are pitying him. They just tried to help him in some other way. Natsu landed down on his legs on the land making a small push to the ground making a hole. "Another round Erza, come at me!" He stated panting as the sweat started to fell from his face and the naked chest of his.
Erza realized his condition and knew that he wouldn't bear anything to come again. She changed into her normal clothes "That's enough for today, I'm tired" she lied in order to let him rest.
The dragon slayer raised a brow and looked at the Titania "What did you say?" He asked making Erza glare at him. Natsu sighed and looked away "Forget it" he said quietly. Erza smiled and advanced towards him.
"Natsu... I'm training you so... you have to treat me for a cake" she stated slyly making Natsu shiver. Natsu looked away.
"I-I don't have enough money... if I have treat you for a cake I will starve to death" the dragon slayer stated disappointed.
The Titania looked at him in a shock "You don't have enough money?" She asked as she forced Natsu to look at her "Then why don't you go in a job?" She asked. Natsu stayed silent as his face appeared to have some depressed features.
"I'm... not ready yet to go to another job" he stated looking down not making a big depressed face this time. Natsu then stood up "I will go now to eat" he stated going afar away from the Titania. Erza looked down her legs.
'I have to make him go to a job, but how?' The red head thought inside of her head. Now, a new mission was settled to the fairy tail wizards to do is to convinces Natsu to go get a job. But, the red head was stilrealize that she was staring Tl thinking of how to make him that the dragon slayer have to go get a job.
Both Erza and Natsu arrived to the guild together they greeted everyone as they sat down on the bar's chairs. They ordered their food and started to eat. Usually, Natsu would eat the whole guild's food but, he didn't have enough money so he decided to lessen the amount he used to eat everyday. that thing caught the scarlet mage today after she heard that he didn't have the amount of money to stay a long without it.
"Lucy and the others did not came back yet?" Erza asked the white haired barmaid as she scanned the guild trying to change her thoughts in order to not to make the fire mage realize that she was staring at him. She then grabbed a bite with the fork.
"No, they did not" she answered instantly "It should be a 4 days now" the barmaid answered. Erza nodded and started to continue the cake. "I think they will be arriving from today to tomorrow" Mira continued. The barmaid then looked at the dragon slayer who was slowly eating she started the day that rest of the team left for a job.
Flashback
The blonde haired girl sighed as she put her head down on the table sighing a long sigh making the whole guild realize how depressed she was. "What's wrong, Lu-chan?" asked the blue haired woman Levy while sitting next to the mage.
"Levy-chan" she whined looking at her as the tears gathered in her eyes. "I'm going to be thrown out of my apartment, it has been a whole week now" stated the blonde. "I couldn't pay the rent" she cried. Natsu heard the conversation by the chance when he was entering the guild from the guild's door and of course because of his sensitive ear. He stayed by the door for a while as he started to hear what was the blonde saying.
"My landlady is so cruel, she said if I didn't pay the bill in another week she will throw me" she whined. Natsu sighed feeling that he was unable to do a thing. He decided to leave disappointed. Natsu walked in the street sinking in deep thoughts as he didn't feel the people that greeted him beside him. He was thinking of Lucy and how she was treating him. He knew that she didn't want to go in a job alone because she was always go with him also she can't handle a dangerous job alone. Natsu wasn't ready yet to go in a job. He wanted to go but he can't because he isn't prepared. He sighed then an idea popped in his head.
He decided to ask for a help but imagine from who? The ice mage.
...
Gray was training inside of the forest because when he heard that Natsu was training to become stronger he decided not to let him win on him. "You ice bastard" Natsu called as the ice mage got down from a jump. He looked to the side that Natsu was standing in. Gray jumped from the place he was tanding in.
"How did you know my place? " Gray asked in a shock as he started panting from the training. Natsu raised the brow of his.
"I want just to know how much stupid stupid you are" he mocked "Wasn't I the person who you depended on finding their places from their smell" he continued.
"Oi!" Gray stated angry. "Anyway, what are you doing here?" He asked hoping from the the pink haired not to pull another thing mocking about.
"Ah, I need to from you a favor" stated the dragon slayer in a serious tone making Gray realize how serious he was he turned also serious.
...
The ice mage entered the guild's door scanning the guild's sides. His eyes fell down on the blonde mage Lucy. He smiled and advanced towards her. "Lucy" he called touching the blonde's shoulder. Lucy twisted her head. Eyes are red and her face were like a balloon from crying. "Eww, you look awful" stated the black haired mage.
Lucy removed his hand from her shoulder and stood up "I'm going to go alone in a job" stated the blonde. Going alone wasn't the problem, the problem was that in order to have a good pay you have to go for a good job it also means a dangerous one. She sighed as she reached the request board.
"Let's see" she said narrowing her eyes in order to see well because of her puffy eyes. "No... and that's not good... and that doesn't pay enough money... and this is too dangerous" she said. Lucy then felt disappointed as she fell to the ground crying "Natsu, help me" the words automatically came from her mouth making everyone snaps towards her.
Gray advanced sighing. He leaned down as he grabbed her wrists helping her to stand up. "Come on... go prepare your bag I'm going with you" stated the black one. Lucy felt like he was kidding and in the same time she felt so happy for hearing something like that. She ran towards her home.
Natsu watched her running towards her home happily then he smiled.
End of flashback
"Happy, Wendy and Charlie ended up going with them" stated the barmaid as she finished talking with the red head."Is that so?" She put the fork inside of her mouth.
"Alot of things sure happens when someone is away" she stated. Erza then stood up catching attention. "I'm going to talk to the master, I have something to tell him" she stated then she left the place. Natsu was eating quietly trying as he could to open his eyes. He was so tired but kept telling them that he was fine with those training, that he have to become stronger with one hand.
The barmaid realized the state he was in. She watched him closely. Everytime he opens the eyes of his it close instantly. Natsu then suddenly fell on the table's hard board. He fell asleep. Mira smiled and removed the chopsticks from the hands of his hands. "You are such a cute kid"
...
"Master" the red head called the master as he was closing his eyes. "What should I tell him to make him come with us in a job?" she asked hoping to get a proper answer from the master of fairy tail. Makarov kept closing the eyes of his "Umm" he stated thinking of what Erza is saying.
The old man opened his eyes slowly. He looked at the Titania "You are his friend" he said "You have to know what should you do?" the word FRIEND kept ringing in her ear even after she left the office.
"What should I do?"
