Natsu X Irene

"speaking"

""thinking""

On with the story

It was a normal day for Magnolia as the town was as peaceful as it was

Fairy Tail

In the crazy and rowdy guild, all of its members were in a tense situation as no one was making a single sound

Makarov had his eyes closed before he opened his eyes as he coughs in his fist

"so" Makarov voice out as Natsu and Irene were sitting on each end of the bar as both had a very dark aura surrounding with each other "care to tell on what is the problem?"

"I believe I can explain first" Zeref who was in the guild state out with Mavis beside him

A few days ago

Irene was walking in the castle's hallway in a good mood as the Scarlet Witch walked into the living room of herself and Husband's corridor as she sees her husband asleep on the sofa

She smiles to her husband before she walks to the fridge and opens it

Her eyes turn into confusion and anger as she sees a crumb filled empty plate in the fridge Irene turns towards the cupboard and opens it, only for her to see that her special strawberry velvet cake was gone

Irene looks around before focusing to her husband as she sees some crumbs on his face

A tick mark appeared on Irene's forehead as she grabs her staff and fired a direct magic blast at her husband that instantly wakes him up

"ooow!" Natsu yelled as he fell down the floor from the magic blast "what the hell?!"

Natsu then notices that his wife was glaring at him with anger and hate as the Scarlet Witch had a charged-up magic sphere on the tip of her staff

"eh? Irene? Why are you-" Natsu said before Irene fired her magic blast at Natsu and destroyed the room and sends Natsu crashing down to the street

Present time

"they nearly destroyed the kingdom in doing so" Zeref said as he sighs

"I told you I didn't eat your cake!" Natsu shouted, "I never even like to eat sweets!"

"then who did?! The evidence was all over your face!" Irene shouted back as the two got into a fight

Everyone hides under the tables as it was a known fact that two people who has the magic power to destroy continents would make things go crazy very fast

"fine!" Natsu shouted as he started walking away "since I'm the so called cake thief then I'm not welcomed here huh?!"

"leave! Come back when you want to apologize!" Irene fumed as she sat down crossing her arms under her chest and looks away from her husband who walks out of the guild in a sour mood

Makarov and Zeref sighs tiredly as the two have been fighting since morning

"Irene, are you really that mad over Natsu?" Zeref asked the Scarlet Witch

"of course, I am! Not only did he eat my cake, he doesn't want to apologize for eating it in the first place!" Irene shouted at Zeref as this made the Black Wizard sweat drop to her

"I see" Zeref said as the Scarlet Witch was fuming mad

"for now, I leave Irene to you till we can get the two to settle down" Zeref told to Makarov who nodded as the black mage went to follow Natsu, wherever he might have gone to

Now the guild was tasked with the quest to calm down the fuming Scarlet Witch

"looks like there is no way for us to talk things out" Lucy said as Irene transforms Macao and Wakaba into mice as the two old men tried to talk things out with her

"what should we do, Erza?" Lucy asked the Scarlet Knight who was shaking in her boots while twiddling her thumbs together

"Erza?" Lucy looks to her as she was confused on why Erza was acting like that

"the truth is…" Erza nervously stuttered out

1 minute later

In the basement

"EHHHH?! You ate the cake?!" Lucy and the others exclaimed at Erza who was sitting on her knees in a dogeza

"I could not help myself; the cake looks so delectable and smells so good that I can't help to take a bite out of it" Erza said in shame as she was the one who caused her parents to fight in the first place

"woark" Flaze let out a screech as the small salamander sat on Erza's shoulder

"rather than taking a bite out of it, you ate it all" Gray said while sighing

"I'm so sorry" Erza said as she hangs her head in shame

"rather than us, it's your parents who you should be apologizing to" Gajeel told her

"but I don't think it would be easy considering who are Erza-san's parents" Juvia said as they imagine on the severe punishment, they might give to Erza for causing the whole commotion in the first place

"I think it'd be better if we find another way for her to apologize" Levy said as everyone nodded in agreement to her

"how about we just make another cake? Like the old saying goes "We all make mistakes, but what matters is how we go back and fix them."" Lily said as Lucy nodded

"then it's decided, we should make a cake to apologize, the only problem is what cake should we make" Lucy said as this got everyone to think

"I have a proposition," Erza said as she raised her hand

Natsu was walking the street of Magnolia as the man was a bit angry on his wife for blaming him on eating her precious cake

"goddamnit, all of this because of a cake," Natsu said as the man's aura was so dark that nearby citizens were hiding away from him "I don't even like sweets in the first place!"

Natsu kicks away a pebble as the pebble flies into the sky due to Natsu's immense strength

"why do I need to apologize!? I was sleeping the whole time!"

Without realizing it, Natsu was now in the forest near Magnolia as the man was standing near a small pond

He sighs before he sat down and started throwing pebbles into the pond to vent out his frustration

At Mt, Ivor

Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Lily and Lucy were at the mountain as they were trying to find some rare strawberries that only grows near the mountain range while Wendy and the others stayed behind to make the cake

"so where is this…Magnums superb straw" Lily said while flying before Erza corrected him

"Maximum Sweet Strawberries" Erza said "they are somewhere here"

"that's too much ground to cover! How are we supposed to find them!?" Lucy said to Erza

"it's simple, Gajeel is here to help us find them in the first place" Erza said

"what am i?! a bloodhound!?" Gajeel shouted before getting a powerful knock to the head by Erza

"less talking, more sniffing" Erza said as Gajeel rubs his bulge before doing what Erza ordered

"I smell something," Gajeel said as he sniffs the air "it's sweet"

"lead the way" Erza said as they all followed the Iron Dragon Slayer for a good one hour before they found themselves in a field filled with giant strawberries

"these must be the Maximum Sweet Strawberries" Gray said as he can see giant Strawberries everywhere

"no, these are just plain giant strawberries, the Maximum Sweet Strawberries are known as the Golden Strawberries" Erza said as she picks up a giant strawberry before throwing it away and spotted something glowing near a patch of leaves

"this is it" Erza said as she moves to the side the leaves and revealed a glowing golden strawberry

"it's pretty" Lucy said as she admired the beautiful fruit

"let's find more" Erza said as she picks the golden strawberry, she found

Evening

The sun was setting and the sky turns orange

Natsu was still at the forest as the man laid on the grass with a bored look

"the sky turned orange, huh?" Natsu said all bored as he keeps looking at the orange sky

"so, this is where you were?"

A voice was heard as Natsu looks to the side and sees his brother Zeref walking towards him

"what do you want?" Natsu asked him while focusing back his attention to the sky

"I should be the one who ask you that question" Zeref said as he sat down the grass beside his brother

Zeref looks at his brother before looking to the small pond

"isn't it about time you go and fix things up like you always do?" Zeref said as he sees a fish jumping out of the river before diving back into the water

"not in the mood" Natsu replied as he turns to the side

A few moments of silence pass by before Natsu laid back on the grass and let out a long sigh

"why am I the one at fault? I wasn't even the one who ate the cake in the first place" Natsu said with an annoyed look on his face

"even so, it's best just to hold in your pride and apologize," Zeref told his brother "mend things up before it's too late"

Natsu grumbled before flips his body to stand back up

"fine" Natsu said as he started to walk back towards the guild to apologize to his wife for something, he never did

He walks in the street of Magnolia as he was walking straight at the direction of Fairy Tail

Natsu walks towards the guild before his eyes spotted a bakery selling variety of cakes

"might as well" Natsu said as he walks towards the bakery

Fairy Tail

Irene had a very stern and very angered look as she sits with her legs crossed and her arms crossed

In front of her was Erza who was holding a cake with a maximum sweet strawberry on top

"I'm very sorry for eating your cake, mother" Erza said in apology to her mother "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me"

"do you have any idea what've I've said and done to your father?" Irene asked with a stern voice as her voice was filled with anger and annoyance

Erza nodded her head in guilt as she was very sorry to her heart

"I'll be surprised if he would even come home today," Irene said as she started to think of a way to apologize to her husband for what their daughter did

"um, Irene-san, he's here" Lisanna said as she pointed to the front door and everyone saw that it was Natsu who was waiting at the front of the guild while holding a plastic bag

"pray that he will understand when I tell him" Irene said as she walks towards the front door and to her husband

Natsu and Irene looked at each other as Natsu scratches the back of his head

"Natsu.."

"Irene.."

They both said at the same time as they look at each other before speaking again

"I'm so.."

"I'm so.."

Natsu sighs before leaning out the plastic bag to Irene

"here, I bought this to apologize for eating your cake" Natsu said as Irene took the plastic bag "and I want to say I'm sorry for yelling at you and for everything I did today"

"Natsu it's-" Irene tried to explain but Natsu cuts her off

"wait, let me finish" Natsu said as he held up a hand to his wife

"I know that I shouted at you and all but I'm really sorry, Irene. I know that you were excited to eat the cake because it was the first cake you ever ate after getting your dragon seed removed and it was also the same cake, we had on our wedding day, I'm really sorry, Irene"

Natsu holds Irene's right hand with both hands as he gently caressed it

"I'm sorry that I yelled at you, I'm sorry I went off, I'm sorry for everything, Irene" Natsu said before he gives a kiss to Irene's hand

"I know that I have been lazing off and that I've been dozing off when I am supposed to be spending time with you, Erza, Irina and the others. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything"

Irene felt awe to her husband as every word that leaves his mouth were coming from his heart

"I love you, Irene" Natsu said as he cups Irene's cheek with his hand "I hope you can forgive me"

Natsu gives his wife a kiss to the lips before separating as he holds her hand to his cheek

"Natsu, it's about the cake" Irene said as Natsu frowns

"you don't want the cake?" Natsu said "then how about these ones instead?"

Natsu turns around as he motions to a carriage filled with cakes "I bought this all because they didn't have the Strawberry Velvet cake on sale

"no, this is fine but it's about the one who really ate my cake" Irene said as this got Natsu to look in confusion

3 minutes of explaining later

Natsu had a tick mark appearing on his vein as the man had a furious looks on him

"ERZA!" Natsu shouted out as he looks to his eldest (step) daughter in anger

"I'm very sorry!" Erza bowed to the floor as the Scarlet Knight was afraid what her (step) father might do

"six months of no cake for you!" Natsu shouted as he points a finger at her

"ehhh!? Please! I can't live without cake!" Erza begged her father as she tried to reason with him

Natsu lets out an angry growl as he couldn't believe that his daughter was the one who made this mess in the first place

Irene giggles as she holds her husband's hand

"isn't this fine? We already have some cake with us" Irene said "let's just make this a onetime warning"

Natsu looks to his wife before sighing and nodding

"mother!" Erza cried in tears as her punishment was gone

"but you won't be having any of our cake" Irene said as she twirls her finger and Erza was imprisoned in a cage

"eehhh?!" Erza shouted in shock

"let this be a punishment for you" Irene said with a smile as Natsu and Irene started giving out the cake, Natsu bought for everyone

"nooo!" Erza cried in tears as she sees a dozen of delicious and delectable cake and she wasn't able to get a single slice

Irene cuts a piece of cake and feeds it to her husband as the man chews on it before swallowing it

Irene giggles as she wipes off some cream on her husband's lips and eats it

Natsu smiles back as he gives his wife a peck to the lips

That's a wrap!

Bye bye
