Chapter 5: The Dragneel Family
"Wait are you really my dad?"
"Yes son it is."
"But why do you look like a human?"
"Well Abaddon gave me back my ability to transform back into my human form."
"So you're telling me that this form is you before you turned into a dragon."
"Of course Natsu."
Natsu just gave a big hug to Igneel and Igneel did the same to him. Igneel looked up and noticed his friends just staring at Natsu.
"Oh Natsu did I interrupted something?"
"No, you came here just on time."
Natsu brought Igneel inside and Lucy was kind of annoyed by it.
"Natsu don't just let a stranger into my home."
"I know Luce but I know this man."
"How in the hell do you know this stupid guy?"
Igneel notices Gray rude words.
"My boy you don't want to anger the fire dragon."
"If you're talking about Natsu, I can deal with him myself."
"Yes Natsu but what about his father?"
Gray couldn't comprehend what he was talking about till the word father echoed in his head. Then it hit Gray right in his cold heart.
"Wait you're his father!?"
"Of course I am."
Gray turned a little pale and a little scared. Lucy and Juvia don't understand what is going on so Natsu told them the whole thing.
"What, are you serious Natsu?"
"Yup."
"So this is his human form before he turned into a dragon."
"You can say that but I hardly know about how dragons work."
Everyone were very shock to see what Igneel looked before he was a dragon. Then Lucy asked," Igneel how did you turn into a dragon?"
"Well I was mostly chosen to be a dragon. I was called up to meet Abaddon and Draco. It turns out Draco was my father. How though is very weird. Draco can turn into a human and dragon by his own will. So it was mating season for Draco and he went out and selected as many maters there were. I had dragon blood in me. I was asked by my father if I would want to be a dragon for eternity. Even also to train young ones the dragon slaying magic. I agreed and so I became a dragon."
"Wow that is a wonderful story."
"Yes it was but remember I wasn't the only dragon to be asked about this."
"Oh yeah I forgot about the other dragons."
Igneel smiled but soon it started to fade away. Natsu notices it and asked Igneel if he's alright.
"Yes Natsu but there is something I must tell you."
"Sure what is it dad?"
"You must know I'm not your real father but mostly your stepfather."
"Well to be honest I already knew about that."
Natsu was mostly the only one who knew because his friends were shocked.
"Good but there is one more thing."
Natsu began to become curious and so were his friends.
"Natsu you died four hundred years ago but someone brought you back to life."
"Wait what do you mean?"
"Natsu, you have a brother and he was the one that brought you back to life."
Natsu couldn't comprehend on what's going on and also his friends.
"Then who…who…who is my brother?"
Igneel took a deep breath and said," It's Zeref."
The name echoed into Natsu's head and out of nowhere he pasted out. Lucy and Gray came to Natsu's aid but Igneel turned around and begin to walk away. Lucy notices it and said," What are you doing! Natsu needs you right now and you're going to just leave him like this!?"
"I was brought here to tell him that by Zeref himself. Besides I can see his dreams. Once he wakes up, he might need you more Lucy."
Lucy was a little shock by that. The fact that Natsu would need her and that he is probably thinking about her right now. Igneel on the other hand left them alone and returned back to Abaddon's home world. Time past and they were just waiting for Natsu to wake up.
"Gray, Juvia thinks we should let Lucy be alone for a while."
"Hmm maybe you're right. Lucy will you be alright by yourself?"
Lucy nodded then said," Yeah I wouldn't mind."
Gray nods and he left with Juvia by his side. Lucy was now alone with Natsu and was still thinking about what Igneel just said.
("I wonder if he is dreaming about me. I mean in what way he is dreaming about me. A friendly way or a love type way?")
Lucy just couldn't stop thinking about it or Natsu himself. The more she looked at him. The more her heart begins to pound in some kind of pain. So she decides to get closer to Natsu's out cold body. Her face was now close to his face.
"I never thought he would look so adorable up close when he is sleeping."
Without even thinking Lucy kissed Natsu on the lips. She then break away and was feeling some weird intensions in her. All of a sudden she starts to hear chuckles coming from behind her. She turns around and it was Happy. She screamed but her scream of course didn't wake up Natsu.
"When did you get here you stupid cat!?"
All that Happy said was "You love him."
Lucy felt annoyed but soon begin to laugh and smile as brightly as ever.
"What's so funny Lucy?"
"Well it's like what you said right now."
She looks over at Natsu and rubbed his head.
"I do love him."
