title: nightmares

summary: Wendy's been having trouble sleeping one night, and Natsu is there to comfort her in her darkest time

Wendy awoke with a shock n sweat dripped down her face as she let out large huffs of breath; she had the dream again; it scared her to no end, wiping the tears she felt forming her body felt cold like she was standing in one Gray's spells her mouth was dry as she tried to swallow looking around she remembered where they were, she was on the job with Team Natsu going over to grab some water she let out sighed the images playing in her head again.

"Wendy," Carla called. Wendy could hear the concern in her voice, "what's wrong, child."

shaking her head and putting on a fake smile, nothing Carla, just a bizarre dream," Wendy said weakly. She hated lying, but at the same time, she hated being a burden, "I think I just needed some water," she said in a whisper, trying to hide her fear" Wendy felt like she couldn't breathe. This has been a problem since the war with Zeref ended 'I'm going to get some air," Wendy told Carla as she stepped out of the tent she saw Natsu Lying on the ground 'Lucy must have kicked him out again' Wendy laughed as she went and sat on a log 'what's wrong with me' she wondered letting out a sigh the young dragon slayer looked at her shoulder where her guild mark was the mark of a family, those words played in her head even after everything she had a home so why did she feel so alone, why did she feel scared, her thoughts played back to her dream looking behind her she sighed 'why.'

Wendy then heard shuffling behind her getting scared. The Girl jumped back in shock, only to see Natsu standing behind her with his signature grin on his face. "Hey, kiddo," Natsu said as the girl calmed down."

"Hey Natsu," Wendy said back to her and coming to ease.

"it's late. You should be in bed," Natsu said. Wendy laughed. She could hear the sarcasm in his voice. She loved and hated it when he acted responsibly. Looking away, she sighed, " couldn't sleep," Natsu asked. Natsu walked up to her when she didn't answer, sitting next to her; he brought her in for a hug. Feeling his warmth, she felt her mind calm down some more, it was not like Grandeeney 's warmth, but it was a close third allowing herself to lie down. She buried her face in Natsu's chest "what's wrong, Wendy" his voice was soft and full of concern.

"nothing' Wendy lied, not wanting him to worry

sighing, he started to rub her back as he leaned back into the tree "do you remember when we were kids, and we'd sleep with Anna under a tree like this" Natsu said it didn't take much to see something was bothering her, Natsu cared for the girl when it came to being family she was the closest thing he had to a sister "you'd always find a way to be right next to me."

"that's cause you were the warmest," Wendy told him, a slight blush forming on her cheeks "it was for survival reasons only," she said, trying to defend herself self which made Natsu chuckle.

"mabey," he told her as he looked up, "some nights though when I could sleep, I could always count on Anna or Igneel to be there to listen."

Wendy frowned at this 'I just" she started, but she felt her body tremble, which made her grip Natsu even tighter.

"it's alright," Natsu told her, "you don't have to talk about it, but I want you to know I'm here if ya need me."

letting his words sink in, Wendy looked up to him. "I've been dreaming about the war with Zeref," Wendy admitted

Natsu hugged her tighter after hearing this; he had figured she'd been affected, but a small part of him hoped she wouldn't have been. "I see," he said, his voice in a whisper, "about what."

" it's been different each time, but they're all the same ending," Wendy says, tearing up, "either Gray and Erza and not even Lucy can get through to you while you lost control and turned into E.N.D," Wendy said she hated that she wasn't there to help Natsu and hearing this Natsu figured he had scarred her "or Lucy couldn't finish re-writing the book in time, either one I come back to find out your...your" Wendy failed to finish her sentence as the mere thought of it brought her to tears " you were gone. Everything fell apart. Lucy left," Wendy told him, " Gray stopped coming to the guild, and Erza," Wendy buried her face back into Natsu's chest. "I... just" Wendy was now fully crying.

Natsu said nothing; he never guessed that she was going through this. He didn't know what to do, but one was for sure he was going to fix this rubbing her back and whispering how it was going to be okay "it's alright, kid," Natsu said as she started to calm down, sniffing as she looked at hi away from the tear stain on his shirt "I'm sorry" he whispered why was he apologizing Wendy wondered before she could speak again, he continued " I should have talked with more about this" he told her as he rubbed her back trying to help her calm down "don't worry I'm not going anywhere" he told the girl "I.." Natsu didn't know what to say he had always seen Wendy as a sister and Erza always drilled it to him how the girl looked up to him and how he should act as a better role model "I'm never going to abandon you" Natsu said, "not again."

he was referring to when fairy tail first separated them and when the guild disbanded, wiping away her tears, Wendy laid back on his chest; she couldn't explain it but him having his arms around her had a protective nature "I know," Wendy whispered her voice low the fear almost gone as she continued to sniffle "I love you big brother" Wendy said

smiling as he looked down at her blue hair going over her face as she smiled "love you too, sis" the two sat in silence for a while before Natsu made a move t get Wendy; however, gripped his shirt

"don't go," Wendy asked "her voice was a whisper, "please, Natsu."

'What am I going to do with you, kid' Natsu said as he sat back down, pulling her back in. Wendy felt her eyes get heavy the slow-moving of Natsu chest, and a few snores later, Wendy smiled as she closed her eyes "only you would fall asleep first," Wendy whispered as she soon succumbs to her sleep

And that's it
