When everyone returned Natsu was quiet, he just played it off by saying he was just tired.

Kai's girlfriend whacked Kai around the head in anger and worry. "What the hell did you think you were doing, worrying us all!"

Natsu heard her having a rant at Kai, a well deserved rant. Natsu touched his mouth, he knew he had betrayed his girlfriend, and he knew Kai had betrayed his, yet... he probably wouldn't even remember because he wasn't even a hundred percent all there in his head right now.

Stupid demon, he thought.

"Natsu!" Happy said sitting on his lap snugly. "Oh... Happy." He said forcing a smile that dropped instantly, his head was a mess and with all this fuss and noise from everybody... he didn't know how to compose himself.

"What's wrong? Did Kai burn you?" Happy asked examining Natsu's arms to see any marks. Natsu shook his head and smiled.

"Those fish were really nice!" Natsu replied changing the subject between him and his best friend. "Hmmm, ... yep!" Happy said all cutesy and purred happily.

"Natsu, thank you for sorting out this lump." Kai's girlfriend thanked Natsu while she dragged Kai out of the bedroom with her best friend's help, he had passed out after the bollocking.

"Don't mention it." Natsu said smiling successfully. When Kai and his girlfriend had left, Natsu's girlfriend returned to the room sighing at the whole situation.

"Funny how he came back to you." She said smiling sitting down next to the fire-boy and his feline buddy.

"What do you mean... funny how he came back to me?" Natsu asked sharply.

She blinked noticing Natsu's emotionless face, underneath was all his pain but she knew she'd struggle reaching that place. His voice sounded cold so she shivered a little. "Um, well. We were all searching for him, well except you obviously... and y'know, he turned up here, pretty funny since you two don't get on all that much." She said explaining what she meant wasn't an accusation to her boyfriend who just sighed.

"Oh..." He said not even paying attention, he just looked at the door where Kai and his girlfriend had exited the cottage.

Happy was looking up at Natsu now and saw the same as the girl across from him could see, she was worrying as well. Tears were forming in her eyes, she didn't know what was wrong with the pink haired guy she loves.

Happy thought it was best to leave Natsu alone in these strange times he has, they rarely occur, but Happy remembered when Natsu came back after searching for Igneel one time and he was just the same as this, hiding his feelings, maybe he realised that it wouldn't be that easy. Maybe he realised what had happened couldn't be reversed, he couldn't rewind time and bring his father back.

Natsu's girlfriend had stayed silent for ten minutes sat next to him when Happy ventured off to bed.

"I have to get home." Natsu's girlfriend said not even having taken off her coat yet from the search, she got up and walked out the door. Natsu saw her in his view as she approached the door. She opened the door and stepped out. He stood up wide-eyed.

"Wait!" He screamed running out the door at top speed.


"Good lord Satan my head!" Kai groaned as he walked over to the fridge for a drink from a bottle of water. "What even..." He said looking around not seeing his own place surroundings. He heard someone clear their throat and he turned to the door frame.

"Oh, hey baby." He said grinning at his girlfriend who was clearly pissed off with her arms crossed. "I see you're angry..." He said drinking the water out of the bottle.

His girlfriend sighed. "I don't even want to know why you got drunk. I want to know what you did to Natsu, he was acting so strange when I literally dragged you out the house!" She roared.

Kai shrugged taking another sip of his water. "What? Acting strange?" He said not really caring about the hot-head. All he remembered yesterday was that bastard shouting at him and looking angry, but his face didn't threaten Kai, he had a cute face.

Kai smirked. "No way I did something right?" He asked turning to his girlfriend chuckling at his own question it was ridiculous if he had, talk about not knowing your own self when drunk.

"You tell me." His girlfriend hissed.

"Babe, you know I wouldn't-" He dropped the empty water bottle. "Oh fuck I did, didn't I?" He said mainly talking to himself.


"You did what!?" Kai's girlfriend said holding her head in her hands distressed.

"It's no big deal, I bet he just ignored it." He said smiling trying to lighten the mood.

"You kissed my best friend's boyfriend Kai! Kissed! It's a big deal!" His girlfriend said standing up and opening the front door of her house quickly.

"Hey, where are you going?" Kai asked confused at his girlfriend's actions.

"I'm leaving, when I come back home you better be gone. Who... Who knows what else you did with him!? You probably... He probably. Oh My God! What if you forced him or something and he's helpless. I hate you what you did is... I don't know I'm leaving!" She said slamming the door shut sending a booming echo through the house.

Kai stared in shock at the door, his eyes were set like stone as tears poured out. He wiped his tears cursing at himself that he was weak and pathetic. It was a drunken kiss, he knew he didn't do anything else with that pink shitty guy.

He cleaned his girlfriend's house and left an hour later. When she came home she found him gone like she had wanted. But, they never broke up. That was the one thing that wasn't clear. Kai just guessed she'd come around after a while and everything would be okay like usual.

He was used to his current life, unlike his past, in the past he'd expect something like this to happen to any girl he was with. They would walk out on him and never come back, but he had long forgotten that feeling.

Long forgotten...


A few weeks went by and his girlfriend didn't contact him he sighed looking at his phone for at least a text message. He rolled across his bed in frustration.

"What did I even do!? She's made out I slept with him!" He shouted to himself breathing hard. "A damn frickin' kiss, sure it's 'cheating..."

But it didn't make sense to him, surely he could be forgiven?

"Maybe if I get Natsu to tell her it was just a stupid kiss, and it will all be okay!" He said in celebration cheerfully dancing around his house.

Right?

Would this work?

Kai was unaware of how he made Natsu feel the other night, he didn't know at all.

He had no idea how mentally broken Natsu was after that kiss.

He had no idea of how Natsu had cried over his betrayal to his girlfriend.

He had no idea of how Natsu actually regretfully liked it.

So how would this turn out?
