"OK Mira is that's what you want" Natsu said in defeat as he moved round to the other side of the bed pulling out of Mira's grasp, he climbed into the bed and pulled the covers over himself.
"Thank you" she said tiredly and soon sleep over took them both.
Morning came all to quickly as Natsu awoke to an unfamiliar surroundings he tried to sit up but he felt a weight on his arm he turned to look at the source to see a sleeping Mirajane, then all the memory's of the evening before came back to him like a flood he looked down at the sleeping mage and thought of all she had lost, she lost her parents at a young age, then she lost her sister but got her back only for fate to cruelly take not only her but Elfman as well. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Mira waking up he watched her for a moment he watched how the sun glistened on her ivory hair and for a moment he lost himself staring at her beauty before snapping himself out of it now was not the time.
"Good morning" Natsu spoke trying to be somewhat happy.
"Morning" Mira said back forcing a smile, Natsu saw right through the fake smile.
"You know you don't have to fake a smile around me" Natsu said comfortingly.
"Thank you Natsu" Mira said not losing her smile " I don't know what I would do with out you" she spoke softly gripping his arm tighter he smile dropping slightly.
"Hey its ok it's no more or less than your doing for me" Natsu said.
"But I'm not doing anything" Mira said confused sitting up realising his arm.
"Your doing more for me than you know" Natsu admitted. "Anyway I need to head to the guild to sort out what we're going to do I understand if you don't want to come" he said as he stood up out the bed he turned round and smiled at the woman it was kind caring and expected nothing from her.
" No its ok I'll head there with you its important" Mira said. The two got up and showered and dressed Natsu had to change back into his previous days clothes since he no spare, soon they were heading to the guild the doors were already open a the few people who remained were already sitting quietly the two headed straight for the stage.
"Morning everyone" Natsu called attracting the attention of all the guild. " Today we're going to have to talk about what we are going to do" Natsu called.
"First we're going to have to work out who the next guild master will be" Mira followed up, the guild was silent no one had any idea before Macco spoke up.
"There's one person who's always been there they've always been there when we've been at our worst he saved more lives than we can count he'll he saved my life not to long back" the fire mage spoke.
"Yea that's not a bad idea" Wakaba agreed.
"Who are you guys talking about?" Natsu asked confused.
"Wow you really can be thick headed" Mira said "There talking about you"
"What but how can I be the guild master?" Natsu asked.
"Well your strong, kind and loyal to a fault, with a bit of guidance I think you'll make a good Guild master" Mira explained. " What do you guys think?" Mira asked the guild, there was a chorus of 'Yes' from the guild Natsu was taken back. "So what do you say do you accept?" Mira asked turned to him.
"I don't know if I can" Natsu admitted quietly so only she could hear.
"I believe you can, besides I'll be right by you side" she said supportively.
" OK" he said smiling. " Fairy tail" Natsu shouted to the guild. "It going to be tough but that's what we are we'll make it through because we're Fairy tail and Fairy tail wizards never give up no matter what" Natsu called as he raised his right hand in the iconic Fairy tail gesture. The rest of the day went by in quiet celebration as soon it was evening time and all the mages had headed home Natsu walked Mira home they were in a comfortable silence they reached her house and says their goodnights but as Natsu turned to leave Mira called out to him.
"Hey could you stay again?" Mira asked she still wasn't comfortable being alone.
"If you want me to I will" Natsu smiled at her Mira nodded her head as he walked back to her front door and went to sleep.
So Natsu became Fairy tails forth Master a year has past Fairy tail stayed almost the same they had a few members join but Fairy tail Fairy tail remained stable they were no longer the strongest guild in Fiore but they still had power. Natsu, Mirajane, Jet, Droy and most of the other younger members have grown stronger Mirajane and Jet who was promoted after a quick trial a few months back were the only two s-classes in the guild but Mira never took requests because she helped out Natsu with his guild master duties she tended to be with Natsu most of the time she attended Guild master meetings with him everywhere he went you be sure to find her, she still wore her normal dresses when she wasn't training but she no longer wore her hair in the normal front pony tail instead she had it in a back pony tail with a ribbon like when she was younger.
Natsu had also changed he still had his messy pink hair but he was more muscular he no longer wore his normal vest instead he wore a one armed shirt still proudly showing his guild mark and a pair of black jeans, he had basically moved in with Mira spending every night in the same bed it was obvious to the everyone in the guild that the two had feelings for each other but nether would accept the fact and no one in the guild wanted to push the matter. Bisca and Aslak had now married the two confessing their feelings for each other a few days after they lost the Tenrou group.
It had almost been a year since they had lost there family and friends and it was early morning the sun hadn't quite risen yet as the two woke up to start their day.
"Morning" Natsu said turning to face the white haired beauty.
"Good morning" Mira said smiling at the man.
"I've got something I need to take care of this morning are you ok to open up the guild?" Natsu asked.
"Kinana has a set of keys she can open up if you want me to come with you" Mira suggested.
"Nah its ok" Natsu reassured her.
"Oh ok is everything OK?" Mira asked worried it was very unusual for Natsu to leave Mira behind.
"Yea there's nothing to worry about" Natsu said standing up in his sleep wear which was just a pair of boxers " I'm going to take a shower" he said grabbing a towel and fresh clothes. Mira was worried but pushed it to the side and after Natsu had finished and left she got up and took her own shower and left for the guild to open up the morning went by slowly people asked where the young guild master was and Mira just explained he had some business to attend to but it reached one in the afternoon and Natsu still hadn't shown up and Mira was starting to get worried, so she decided to go and look for him she walked around town and asked the towns people if they had seen the pink haired man and a few people saw him early morning heading to the cathedral it was then that it struck her over the year Natsu hadn't grieved he had helped the whole guild move on, he had helped her through the toughest time of her life the last thing she was going to do was leave him when he needed someone. She ran to the graveyard behind the cathedral and as she entered sure enough there he was kneeling below a giant gravestone with the Fairy tail emblem with the names of all the people they lost on Tenrou Island at the bottom it read "Till the day you return we will never forget" he wasn't moving and Mira was frozen in place staring at the man she had to force herself to move.
"Natsu" Mira spoke softly as she got close, but she got no response he just knelt there motionless sketch took another few steps forward till she was standing next him she looked over to him to see tears staining his face.
"I didn't want anyone seeing me like this" Natsu said quietly, Mira didn't know what to say she just rested her hand in his shoulder. "All this time I thought they would come back but their not" Natsu said with fresh tears running down his face she knelt down next to him a pulled him in to a hug.
"One day they will back we went there there's no trace of the island and some weird magic readings we have to keep hope" Mira said trying to hold back her own tears. "Its our job to make sure that there's a guild for them to return to when they do" Mira said gripping him tighter.
"I hope your right" Natsu said kindly.
"I will be it will just take time" Mira whispered, they stayed like this for a few minutes before deciding to head back to the guild Natsu had called down by the time they reached the doors and the two opened them normally they were greeted back.
"Hey Master where have you been?" Bisca asked.
"I found him talking to a client about a job" Mira lied she shot Natsu a quick smile that only he noticed.
"Ah how'd it go?" Macco asked.
"Yea he said he would consider it" Natsu answered.
"Well it not like we're short on requests I guess" Macco spoke.
"Nah we'll be good, I have a plan" Natsu said with a smirk
"Oh and what's that" Kinana asked as the two approached the bar, they now had the attention of everyone in the hall, Mira and Natsu just laughed, they had found hidden funds in Fairy tails accounts labelled damages and they had plans to expand the guild, they had decided not tell the guild for now.
"Well that would be telling" Mira giggled.
"Aww come..." their happy conversation was interrupted by the guild doors blasting inwards reviling 6 plus mages standing at the guild doors.
"Can I help you?" Natsu asked stepping forward
