Christmas special:

**Year X784**

Magnolia was, despite hot temperatures in other seasons, covered in snow. It was a rear jet beautiful sight. And it was really fitting considering that tomorrow was Christmas.

In Fairy tail members were already decorating the hall even though it was barely 10 o'clock in the morning. A big Christmas tree was set in the middle of the hall. Lucy, Mira, Wendy and Levy were in the kitchen baking cakes and other delicious delicacies. Makarov was using his titan magic to decorate the ceiling and other places that were hardly available. Happy, Charla and Lily were helping him while flying around.

Gray was making beautiful ice sculptures with Juvia 'helping' him. Cana was preparing liqueurs, cooked wine and other alcoholic beverages (drinking half of it in the process). Erza was the one who supervised other members that have been responsible for other small details.

All in all everyone were here helping with many different thingies while having great time. The air was filled with sweet smell of cakes and in the background Christmas songs were playing on the radio.

So now I'm sure you all are asking yourself "Where is Natsu?" on this happy holiday.

Natsu, being Natsu, wasn't really happy about the idea of Christmas. He would usually just sneak in and take some job request before someone noticed him. However he had a problem this year and that problem was Mira. She asked him to stay with her for Christmas and he couldn't just disappear if he promised... right?

He just exited the forest and started walking trough the white streets of Magnolia. The air was filled with sweet smell that was almost too sweet for him. It almost made him throw up. Men and Women were walking around buying something that they forgot or didn't have time until now. Children were playing in the snow making snowmen, angels in snow, throwing snowballs at each other...

Really lovable time of the year indeed with everyone happy.

'Disgusting' Natsu growled as he continued walking toward the guild.

As he walked a girl, not older then seven, ran into him. She fall down on the ground and started apologizing immediately.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me, mister" Girl said with tears in her eyes. The girl had green eyes and brown hair.

"Hey Annie! Are you alright?" A boy that was most likely girl's older brother ran to her and help her get up fixing her scarf. The boy also had green eyes but his hair was blond.

"I'm alright, Arthur" Annie said quietly.

He then turned to Natsu and bowed his head saying "I'm sorry sir. Please forgive my sister. We were just playing-"

"Just watch where you going" Natsu said as he continued to walk not bothering to look at the boy.

"Umm.. Sir..." A boy called behind him.

"What?" Natsu asked not bothering to stop since he could hear boy and the girl running behind him.

"Aren't you cold?" Arthur asked.

"No" Natsu replied. Boy looked at him suspiciously. After all Natsu was wearing only his regular shirt that didn't have right sleeve, his black baggy pants and boots, his scarf was also there of course.

The girl wanted to ask something so she tugged Natsu's arm slightly. She quickly pulled it back when Natsu turned to look at her. She saw his eyes for the first time now. They weren't human's eyes.

'His hand is so cold'

Annie stopped walking and said "Arthur... Let's go now..."

Arthur looked from Natsu at her with confused expression.

"Why?"

"I don't want to bother this mister" Annie said not daring to look up. She was afraid and Natsu could even smell it but it was pretty obvious just by looking as well.

"Okay... I guess.." Arthur said as he took his sister arm in his hand and started walking away. Natsu was now at least ten meters away from them since he didn't stopped walking.

"Hey!" Arthur called out one last time.

Natsu didn't say anything as he kept walking.

"What's your name?" Arthur asked.

"Natsu" Natsu said. Arthur and Annie noticed his Fairy tail symbol now.

"Oh... umm... Merry Christmas mister Natsu" and then they couldn't see him anymore. He was lost in the crowd.

"He's scary..." Annie said when she couldn't see Natsu anymore.

"Why?" Arthur asked

"Did you saw his eyes?" Annie asked.

"Yes... So?" Arthur said not seeming to be bothered by it.

"He looked scary..." Annie whispered.

"Annie! You shouldn't judge people that you don't know, and besides he's most likely a mage so that's a reason why he had those kind of eyes" Arthur scolded her.

**with Natsu**

"Tch... I hate kids" Natsu said. He was by now in front of the guild and with sigh he opened the doors.

He was greeted with fully decorated guild. Everything was sparkling and the sweet smell of Christmas was even stronger then the outside.

Sickening.

Members of the guild were dressed like some characters from Christmas stories. There were elves, reindeers, angels and what ever you can think of. Makarov was at the bar drinking beer in Santa suit.

"I maybe still have time to take a job..." He said to himself.

"Oh no you won't" He heard Mira's voice behind him.

He turned around with half annoyed look on his face. He had to blink few times when he saw her. She looked stunning in that dress (A/N: think of something like Elsa's dress from Frozen).

"You are... gorgeous" Natsu said looking her from head to toe. She blushed. Her lips stretched in wide smile.

"You didn't dress yourself properly" she stated after seeing his clothes.

"And I have no intention of doing so" Natsu said coldly.

"Oh don't be like that" Mira whined. She looked Natsu in the eyes stubbornly tapping her foot on the floor.

Natsu just watched her with bored expression. After few minutes of staring contest Mira couldn't do it anymore and she puffed her cheeks childishly pouting.

Natsu sighed. Even though Natsu didn't see it Mira's eyes lit up with an idea.

"Hey Natsu~~~" Mira almost purred in his ear as she hugged him from behind.

Natsu's eyes shined as he turned his head slightly not braking the hug and asked with smirk.

"Yes?" he knew that tone she had.

"How about you get a costume so I'll have more fun taking it off of you when we get to your place tonight" she said happily.

"You little demon" Natsu said as he kissed her "Fine..." he muttered finally.

"I already bought you a costume" Mira grinned as she started dragging him across the hall shocking few people that they saw Natsu in the guild on the Christmas. They entered storage room behind the bar.

**half an hour later**

Mira walked out with Natsu close behind her looking anything but happy. She made him wear bright red suit (Totally not his color!) with white shirt and Santa's hat.

"Here you go mister Grinch" She said happily. Makarov, Lucy, Gray, Erza and Wendy that were sitting at the bar and heard this laughed. He glared at them making them stop.

"Oh don't be mean Natsu!" Mira said playfully.

"Whatever..." Natsu said as he took a seat next to Wendy.

Erza the elf, Gray the ice spirit, Lucy the angel, Makarov the Santa, Wendy the snow fairy and Mira the Winter were talking to each other and Natsu was listening their conversation with smile on his lips drinking his chocolate liquor.

Around 6 p.m. Makarov decided that it was time for 'Storytelling'. It was a game where you needed to draw sticks and if you drew the one with Christmas tree on it you needed to tell a Christmas story.

Everyone drew one except Natsu.

"Natsu, you need to pull one as well" Wendy said as she pushed the cup to him where the last stick was.

"I don't even know any Christmas story" he muttered as he pulled the last one out of the cup.

"Okay! Now that everyone pulled one out let see who is the lucky winner!" Makarov said happily with little blush on his cheeks since he was drunk.

Everyone looked at their sticks but no one found the tree on them.

"Are you sure that there was one inside?" Mira asked as she looked at Makarov.

Makarov nodded.

"Hey everyone! Check if you didn't-" she stopped when her eyes landed on Natsu. He was glaring at his stick with rainy cloud over his head.

Mira giggled when she realized what happened.

"Don't laugh" Natsu said.

"But it's funny!" she started laughing.

"No it's not" Natsu said.

Happy flew over his head and took his stick. He looked at it and yelled "Hey mina! Natsu pulled the one with tree!"

Everyone laughed.

"Okay Natsu you need to tell us a story" Makarov said.

"I have no intention of doing so" he hissed.

"Natsu~" Mira started.

Natsu rolled his eyes "Fine"

Members gathered around him ready to listen his story.

After few minutes of thinking Natsu took a deep breath and started.

"Once upon a time... there was a boy who didn't know what is Christmas"

**Story- Natsu's POV**

Somewhere far far away, in the mountains that dragons called since ancient times Ora which means 'Star' (It got its name because it was tall mountain and its top was covered in snow that sparkled even from far away if you saw it when the whether was clear) a boy, that I mentioned earlier, was climbing the mountain.

I forgot to mention. Another reason why this mountain was called Ora is because it was nearly impossible to reach the top if you didn't know how to fly.

I'm sure you all are wondering why this boy is climbing to the top. He was after all only eight years old.

Boy was climbing the mountain because it was the place where the meeting of dragon council was held next. It took him almost twelve hours to get to the top but he did it. Fortunately for him the whether was good and only snow was slowly falling.

The boy sighed as he started walking toward a cave that was on the top. He could already hear voices from the inside. Those thunder-like voices that boomed trough the mountain sounding like a great storm was coming.

Boy walked in and all chatter stopped when they noticed him. There were 30 dragons inside. 15 of them were kings and queens of different elements.

"You are late, brat!" a voice boomed trough the room. A big black dragon being the source of it. Boy bowed to kings and queens and said "I deeply apologize. It won't happened again"

"You will regret it if this happen again" black dragon who was a king of all the dragons said. Boy tensed as cold sweat ran down his back.

"Lets just continue our meeting" fire dragon king Igneel said as he looked at the boy smiling. The boy nodded thankfully to the fire king.

"Well... as I was saying..." Inazuma, lighting dragon king said. The meeting was long.. and quite boring if you asked the boy who was sitting next to his Father, the black dragon.

After Inazuma, dragon queen of earth Ji started speaking.

Many of them exchanged their opinions about this unimportant matter. From Sky dragon queen Sora to shadow dragon king Yoru all the way to the water king and queen Mizu and Kiri.

At the end light dragon Hikari who was responsible for recording the meeting said when he was given the sign that the meeting was over "This meeting is closed on December 25th"

As dragons slowly walked out the Boy and Igneel walked out last.

"Hey, kid" Igneel called out.

Boy stopped walking and looked at the dragon after bowing his head "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No.. I just wanted to give this to you" dragon laughed kindly as he handed black scarf to the boy. The Boy looked at the scarf with blank expression.

"Come on, take it" Igneel laughed again.

"Why?" Boy asked confused.

"Because it's Christmas" Igneel said kindly.

"Christmas?" Boy asked, even more confused.

Igneel looked at the boy with sad expression. That bastard of a Father didn't cared for this boy at all.

"Many humans celebrate a holiday called Christmas. On that day they give each other a present and bake many cakes and other delicious goodies. Families are together and they sang songs. They are all happy and-"

"You gave me a present..." Boy said in disbelief. Igneel looked down at the boy and was surprised to see the boy crying.

"Thank you" Boy said quietly as he warped the scarf around his small, cold body.

"Don't mention it kid" Igneel said happily.

Boy hugged Igneel's claw before Igneel flied off. That was the last time the Boy saw great Fire dragon king.

**end of the story**

"That's so sad! Poor boy!" Erza said with tears in her eyes.

"I think she's the only one that didn't realized that the Boy was Natsu" Gray whispered to Lucy.

"Yea.. But still it's really sad story" Lucy said.

"Let me get a hold on that Father *hic*" drunk Makrov said.

"Okay, master didn't get it either" Lucy said with sweatdrop.

"Hey guys did any of you bought anything for Natsu?" Wendy asked.

Mira answered "I did"

"I did too" Wendy said and then looked suspiciously at the rest of them.

"No..." They said glumly.

"Well you still have some time left so hop-hop!" Mira said as she pushed them to get moving.

She then looked at the watch. 9 p.m.

"Hey Natsu" she called out.

"Huh?" Natsu asked as he looked up from his scarf.

"Let's get going, okay" she said.

"Sure" he said as he stood up and walked to the door with his arms in the pocket.

**next day- Christmas**

Natsu and Mira walked to the guild happily holding their hands.

When they opened the doors they were greeted with "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Mira laughed and Natsu just smirked.

"Let's get our presents" Mira said as she pulled Natsu's arm.

"Our? I don't think there will be any for me" Natsu whispered.

"Of course there'll be" Mira reassured him.

They sat around the tree as everyone passed presents around.

"Hey Mira this is yours!"

"Max I found another for you!"

"Master here is one for you!"

"Gray~~ Juvia bought you one!"

"I found a present for a real MAN!"

And so on. Natsu sat there next to Mira watching as everyone got their presents. Soon all presents under the tree were gone and Natsu still sat there without any.

"Let's go guys" Lucy whispered.

"Hey brother!" Wendy called. Natsu turned his head and looked at Wendy as he stood up.

"Yea?"

"Here I bought you a present" She said as she handed him little box warped in colorful paper.

Natsu smiled. "Thanks, little dragoness"

He took the present with smile. The gifts he bought for Wendy and Mira were already give to them. He unwrapped the present and found new silver chain.

"I noticed that the scales of the dragons you have are on simple tether so I thought you would like this" she said. Natsu petted her head and smiled warmly "It's great Wendy"

She grinned back.

"Hey Natsu don't think its over" Lucy's voice came from behind.

Natsu turned and he couldn't keep his eyes from widening. Team Erza, Makarov and Mira also had presents for him.

They put it in front of him.

Natsu looked at the floor with his bangs covering his eyes. They looked at him confused.

"Natsu are you alright?" Mira asked confused.

He nodded and then said "Thank you guys... This is great... I... don't know what to say..."

He looked up a them and they had to blink few times to make sure they weren't hallucinating. But it really was there. A lone tear rolled down Natsu's cheek as he smiled at them.

"This is... just... great..." he said "Merry Christmas guys"

"Merry Christmas Natsu"
