It's been a week since the two moved to magnolia, yukino had adjusted quickly and started attending few of her parent's business meetings leaving the blonde all to herself on the days

Lucy was contemplating whether to really join Loki's suggested restaurant or not because, she is still in experienced and from the talk of the town, it was busy place and one mistake could cost a lot of damage on their image

and her forte is not completely restaurant cooking but bread and pastries.

"should i just buy just any place?" she randomly asked between their breakfast "i mean it's not that i can't work in bakeries on the area...it's just that-"

"you want your own? but you dont need to rush things Lu, please"

"Argh, i hate that i told my parents about my dream" she groaned as she crunched on the cereal

between her thoughts about her own bakery and working part time on a bakery, her mind diverted to

"Yuki how well do you know Natsu?"

the younger paused for a second to look at her and answered right after "not much"

"how do you know each other then?"

well, Yukino may or may not assume that this will happen ever since they met natsu on the cafe so she really did reminisce alot of memories with them.

stretching and cracking her knuckles, she looked at Lucy with a smile "We met in Edolas during High school, he kept coming and going like an exchange student for summer from alvarez to edolas but shifted to Fiore completely for college"

Lucy listened while sipping on her hot choco. the other being fully aware of her willingness so she continued "do you want to know everything?"

Is she crossing the line?

is she going in his privacy so much? but Yukino is willing to tell her

"If it's very confidential then you can skip that part"

the younger chuckled and nodded, "I'll tell you anyways"

she hesitantly nodded and stopped eating for awhile "I'll just tell you what i know then"

"his full name is Natsu Dragneel, had an elder brother and both his parents are still alive and well in Alvarez. mhmmm let's say when Luna came to his life he became more mature? and responsible enough as a good father. He also began to live by his own, build his own house for him and Sol"

"and Sol's mom?"

Yukino showed a small sad smile "he may or may not think about her always but i'll tell you something, she's someone that he loathes the most"

"so i assume she left them?"

"you can say that but what happened before is much worse"

"can you tell me then?"

"do you really wanna know?"

"i w-wanna know him more yuki"

and yukino may or may not know that this is going to happen, standing up she grabbed lucy's hand with smile "How about we continue this in the living room?"


"sol! breakfast is ready" Natsu said lightly shaking the sleeping baby's body "come one baby, uncle gray made cookies for you"

Sol sat up on an instant like an alarm, eyes still closed and hairs sticking out everywhere "Cookies?" she mumbled with her groggy morning voice and the older can just laugh and rubbed his daughter's cheeks in attempt to fully wake her up

"Open your eyes now"

the kid fluttered her eyes open and the moment she saw Natsu in sight, she immediately jumped on him, arms strangling around his neck causing him to cough "oh sorry dada"

She giggled and let her father carry up while she dropped her hands to his chest. Natsu let her do a quick warm shower and get dressed up before they walked downstairs

the smell of cookies made Sol squirm from natsu's hold which he gladly put her down and off she ran to where the smell came from "ooncle gray"

giggles and small conversation from the kitchen made natsu smile. he began to continue sweeping the floor that just got cut off when gray arrived awhile ago

"ooncle gray where's rin?"

"your aunt via brought her to her grandparent's house, she is going to bring North back home"

well maybe, the certain Christmas name rang a bell in her but smart kid she was, sol asked him escaping the teasing she occasionally receives if she ever reacted "why ooncle didn't go?"

"well i have a meeting to attend after lunch that's why ooncle can't go with them to grannys"

"rin granny mad at you"

Gray just laughed instead of being scared. who will get scared of this adorable baby that's trying her very best to give her most deadly glare.

Well, Gray does Part time work for Natsu. He had a company to run that has been going down generations. Hence he misses a lot of shifts in the morning but evenings, he takes care of Natsu's social request orders

It was nine pm when natsu already tucked Sol in her bed, caressing her hair for her to sleep. A yawn left Sol;s mouth and scooted closer to her father's chest for warmth

"dada"

"hm baby?"

"where's mama?" she sleepily mumbled under her breath but natsu was close enough to hear her

few minutes went by when he heard a light snore

a tear then escaped from his eye and carefully got out from his daughter's hold throwing one last look to her peaceful figure, he closer the door without making a sound and went downstairs with heavy steps

Natsu directly went to the bar counter, getting one of his strongest wines and glass, he poured the liquid into the glass and slumped to the couch just infront of the counter

he began to think of the possibilities

what if they both ended up perfectly? or what if he just didn't come to Fiore at the first place?

and just that his mind was clouded with thoughts as he drowned himself with the alcohol until he passed out
