Welcome to another chapter of FNT. I'm glad you're all still reading. And I hope you're having fun. Anyways, I think I may have come up with a little plot. Anyways… enjoy.

"Don't worry guys, I'm fine. I don't need to see a nurse," Natsu said as they walked back to the Fairy Glitter guild hall.

"You can barely walk on your own," Carla commented as he was currently using Lucy and Wendy as supports.

"Trust me. A little R&R and a coffee would get me back up. I can assure you," he said with his usual grin.

"He's probably making up excuses because he's scared of the doctor," Laxus commented from behind them with Elfman by his side, "What a loser."

"Doctors are manly," Elfman randomly said causing the lightning mage to roll his eyes.

"Why does everything but you have to be so 'Manly!" Laxus said with the last part mocking his voice.

"Hey I'm manly," Elfman responded, "take that back."

"Oh so your pink apron wearing, cookie baking, picnic loving ass is manly?" Laxus asked in annoyance.

"How dare you?" Elfman asked visibly very offended before launching his large fist at Laxus, nailing him straight in the jaw.

"You, asshole," Laxus responded before the got into and all out brawl and started heading towards the infirmary.

"They are quite the show," Carla said with a raised eyebrow.

"You can say that again," Lucy responded.

"I like them," Wendy smiled as they helped Natsu walk. She couldn't help but notice how scared he looked, "Are you okay, big brother?"

"Oh me, I'm fine," he gulped, "just the dizziness kicking in hehe."

The brawling pair burst into the infirmary with a loud bang, "I swear you'll pay for punching me!" Laxus growled.

"I'll only stop if you apologize to me," Elfman responded before throwing a punch at Laxus who blocked.

"Never…"

"Will you two idiots shut up?!" Gildarts yelled as he ran towards them, "you're disturbing the other patients!" he then proceeded to punch both of them sending them into a wall and onto hospital beds unconscious, "idiots."

"We brought a patient," Wendy said as they brought Natsu into the room.

Gildarts approached the girls and looked down at Natsu, "What happened to you, Natsu?"

"I uh… got into a fight…" Natsu muttered while avoiding eye contact.

"Yo got into a what?" Gildarts asked while crossing his arms.

"I got into a…"

"What?"

"I got into a fight," Natsu confessed, "I got into a fight okay."

"You got into a fight huh?" Gildarts asked with a raised eyebrow, "what instructions did I give you boys?"

"You told us not to get in any fight…" he mumbled again; still avoiding his glare.

"What?"

"You told us not to get into any fights."

"Well then," Gildarts said while drawing back his hand, "you should've followed instructions!" with that, the pinkette was thrown into the wall and dropped onto a bed unconscious.

"These guys are savage," Wendy said while standing beside Lucy, "but again, he's like a parent who's angry with his kids. It kind of reminds me of Miss Erza and I's relationship."

"I'm pretty sure Erza doesn't punch you Wendy," Lucy said while looking down at the younger girl.

"That's true but, she still knows how to discipline someone."

The doors opened revealing Porlyusica, Erza and Mirajane who walked into the room.

"What happened? Where did all these patients come from?" the doctor asked as she noticed the three new additions to the beds.

"We just found them like that," Gildarts said calmly as everyone else in the room sweat dropped.

"Aw, even poor Laxus is injured?" Mirajane asked as she stood by his bed side, "that's too bad. I may just visit him until he's better," she said while stroking his cheek.

Unbeknownst to her, the lightning mage had already gained consciousness and was having an internal celebration, 'heh heh' he then let out a smile.

"Aw, he's smiling in his sleep. He must be having a great dream."

"what happened to you guys anyway. We heard there was a big commotion in town?" Erza asked while looking at Lucy, Wendy and the Exceeds.

"The LIC just went public today," Wendy started.

"What do you mean?" Gildarts asked while standing next to Erza.

"They introduced themselves and everything. Their leader is this funny looking man called Donovan VonClutch and he has two… no three, no four main body guards that are powered by the lacrima and there's a big gorilla and, and, and…" Wendy talked so fast it was overwhelming.

"Hold on Wendy," Erza said while placing her hand on the younger girl's shoulder, "we get that you may have been excited but we can't understand what you're saying."

"Oh…"

"Maybe I can help out," Lucy said while smiling at Wendy, "Like she said, the leader of the LIC introduced himself and explained that the LIC accidentally discovered that lacrima and began to reproduce it," she explained, "they experimented on a gorilla and it turned into this… Mega Gorilla and they liked it so they tried it out on human beings and they have three super soldiers that can absorb energy from their opponents."

"To demonstrate the lacrima's power, one of the super soldiers challenged Natsu," Carla added.

"And she beat him up really badly. Luckily Laxus was there to save him," Happy also put in.

"Oh yeah the Lacrima is called the Battery Lacrima," Wendy also added.

"This is news alright," Erza said impressed, "I'll give Levy a call." With that, Titania left the room.

"Speaking of Natsu…" Gildarts said before turning to the doctor, "How's he doing?"

"Well he's received quite the beating," Porlyusica said as she examined his torso, "he's also showing signs of fatigue. He's running low on magical energy."

"What can be done?" the crush mage asked while looking at the unconscious dragon slayer.

"He just needs to rest," she said before picking up her equipment.

The doors opened revealing Erza who walked into the room. She then turned to Lucy, Carla and Happy, "Levy would like to see you three in the labs right now."

"Aye sir!" Happy cheered as the three left the room.

"Erza, do you mind nursing Natsu for me while I'm gone?" Porlyusica asked the Knight.

"Of course," Erza smiled before speaking again, "I'll have him doing great in no time."

"Thank you so much," the doc said before leaving the room.

"Oh, I want to help you Miss Erza," Wendy said while standing next to her.

"Great. We best get started," Erza said before saying, "Requip!" with a poof, she was in a very short and sort of body hugging nurse uniform.

"Erza, don't you think that's a bit much?" Mirajane asked from beside Laxus' bed.

"No, I feel this is just fine," she responded.

Gildarts' face when pink, "I'll go to the labs now." With that, he ran out.

"Now, to get started."

"Ugh… I'm hungry…" Natsu mumbled as his eyes opened. The first thing he set his eyes on was Wendy, who was using a healing spell on him, "hey lil sis."

"Hi big brother," she smiled, "I'm happy to see you awake."

"Yeah, I'm glad to be awake too."

"I heard you say you were hungry so I brought you some food," Erza said while holding a tray of food. She then set it down on his bed, "eat up."

"Whoa…" his jaw hung agape when he saw Erza in her outfit. Under all that armour and seriousness, Erza was a babe, "a-actually, I-I think… you should feed me. I'm too weak to do it myself," he fake-groaned in pain.

"Natsu, do I really excite you that much?" Erza asked with a raised eyebrow, "please cover that up. You've traumatised Wendy." She said before pointing at said girl who had fainted blushing.

"Huh?" Natsu asked trying to process when he looked downwards, "Oh my gosh!" he gasped before grabbing a pillow as his only protective covering, "I'm so sorry."

"It's fine," Erza gave him a reassuring look, "just eat up." With that, she picked up Wendy and left the room.

"That was so embarrassing," Natsu groaned as he ate his food, "why couldn't you just stay down?"

"the doors to the infirmary opened revealing Gildarts, "Boys, we've gotta go."

"What's up?" Laxus asked as he removed his headphones.

"Hey Boss," Elfman greeted.

"I bet you're all doing great so get your asses off those beds. We need to get going," he added as the boys began to get ready.

"What's the issue?" Natsu asked as he put his jacket on.

"Looks like little salamander came out to play huh?" Laxus smirked at the younger dragon slayer.

"Ugh, give me a couple of minutes," he said before walking into the bathroom.

"So Boss, what's the deal?" Laxus asked as they walked through the woods to their mansion.

"Hold on, I need all of you to be there for this announcement," he said while looking ahead.

"Must be a really manly announcement," Elfman suggested to which Gildarts nodded.

Laxus couldn't help but side glance at Elfman. Before he could make a snide remark, "Respect yourself Laxus," Gildarts. He could hear the grunt the blonde male made after his dismissal. He also heard Natsu's chuckling at what had just transpired and shortly after, Natsu was punched. "you boys will be the death of me."

The guys arrived at their mansion and walked into the place.

It looked somewhat cleaner than usual. Maybe Gray must have cleaned it up for Romeo, "Okay boys I'll call upon you later," he dismissed as the guys went to their respective rooms.

Now he was about to do something very difficult. He was going to have to tell the young boy about his father's passing. He knew it wasn't an easy task but it had to be done, "Gray!"

"Yeah?" he responded from another room.

"Come over for a moment!" the ice mage walked into the room in nothing but his underwear.

"What is it?"

"Where's Romeo?" he asked the ice mage.

"Oh. He's playing in my room," Gray said, "Is it time to tell him?"

"Yes."

Gray the nodded before walking upstairs and shortly returned with Romeo, "Hey Mister!" he greeted enthusiastically.

"Hey Romeo, how are ya?"

"I'm awesome," he smiled in excitement.

"I bet you're having tonnes of fun?"

"Yep!"

Gildarts then glanced at Gray for a moment and gulped, "Boys! Get down here!"

Shortly after his call, all the Tailorz walked into the room and gathered in the living room.

"Okay guys…" Gildarts started as they were all focused on him, "This is Romeo, to all those that didn't know. He's going to be living with us from now on."

"Whoa, now we need to child proof the house," Natsu whispered to Gajeel.

"Don't worry about it. It's already Natsu proof so he should be fine," he responded.

"W-Wait, isn't my dad coming to get me?" Romeo asked with tears in his eyes.

The mood of the room quickly went low. Gildarts had to get strong for this moment, "Romeo. I'm sorry to tell you this but I'm going to have to ask you to be strong," Gildarts then cleared his throat, "Romeo, your father passed on earlier today."

"W-What?" he asked with his trembling voice, "he's dead?"

"Romeo, I'm sorry you had to experience this and I know it's nothing easy face."

"W-What am I gonna do, w-where will I go?" he sobbed as tears poured down his face.

The guilt Gildarts faced due to harassing his father weighed in. he could tell his boys were affected too judging by the low expressions they had.

Gajeel could hear slight sniffles from beside him. Only to look up and see the lightning mage wipe away a tear, "Are you crying Laxus?"

"Shut up."

"Romeo, your father loved you very much and he wanted the best for you and I decided to let you stay with us."

"B-But, I don't have a family anymore," he said while looking up at Gildarts.

"You know, I read somewhere that the bond that links you and your family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. That quote stuck with me even as I raised these boys in front you," Gildarts said in a very nurturing tone, "Romeo, my boys and I are willing to give you all the love, joy and respect we can to make you feel like you're a part of this family. Will you let us be there for you?"

Romeo glanced around at the men in front of him. They were willing to take him in and look after him as his father did. It wasn't something easy but he needed all the love he could get, "Yes, you can be there for me," he agreed as all the guys cheered in agreement, "but…"

Everyone went silent to hear what he had to say.

"Only if you let me be there for you."

"Sure thing buddy," Gildarts smiled, "Okay then, why don't I introduce you to these goof balls."

"Okay," Romeo said in a slightly happier tone.

"The blondie over there is Laxus," he said as he pointed at the lightning mage who gave a slight wave, "he's a real nice guy behind that mean looking face and oh, he's a professional at chasing monsters from closets and wardrobes."

"Mean looking face, that means you're ugly," Gajeel chuckled.

"Remind me again, how many of the girls you brought home ditched you for me?" Laxus asked causing Gajeel to look away mumbling.

"That's Gajeel. He's the surprisingly parental type when it comes to kids. He's got a weird appetite though."

"The big burly man over there is Elfman. He's our master chef and head of hygiene around here."

"Then there's good old Gray. You already know him though."

"And finally, we have the trouble maker Natsu. He's quite the rambunctious and loud character but I can assure you that you'll never be bored around him."

"Those cats are Happy and Pantherlily. Our friendly neighbourhood mascot and watchman respectfully."

"Wow, so nice to meet you all," Romeo smiled.

"Welcome to the Family Romeo!" they all responded.

Gildarts then sat up, "So, where's he gonna be crashing?"

"He can have my room," Gray offered.

"Where will you be sleeping then?"
"He can bunk with me," Natsu said while scratching his head, "Happy and I don't mind the extra company. Plus, he helped someone out so I thought I could do him a favour too."

Gray cringed at the thought of sleeping in Natsu's room. The messy floor, the jizz stained magazines, the horrible smell he walks around with could rub off on him, "Anyone else offering?"

"Forget about my room loser tsk," Laxus said before walking out of the room.

"There's no room for another person in my room," Gajeel said calmly.

"I'm going to make dinner," Elfman said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Boss?"

"You're too old to be sleeping with your old man," he said before walking out with Romeo.

"Guess we're roomies then," Natsu said as he threw his arm over his shoulders.

"Don't touch me Flame boner!"

"You picking a fight huh," Natsu started before grinning, "Now there's a fire in my belly."

Thanks for reading guys I just remembered that I had this typed and decided to post it. I hope you're enjoying this so far. And thanks to all those that followed me and the story. Peace. Oh and the quote is not mine.
