Hey! So this is an answer to a review from: Anonymous

I have actually read the Manga, and I do know that they are brothers. But. It isn't plagiarism. Nope, I know that they are brothers, so no fear! I'm mostly going on before they knew he was END, and before he knew he was Zeref's brother, so it still is a fan fiction about that. It's like right after the tartaros arc thingie. Like, after all that nonsense. Lol, xD, anyways, enjoy the story, you rock, you all rock! ;D

NO FLAMING OR CRITICS PLEASE!

Gray wasn't very happy.

Taking down the bandit was simple, finding Natsu? Not.

Natsu had bailed out in the middle of the fight, and gone who-knows-where.

Gray pinched the bridge of his nose.

"We've scoured the entire place. There is absolutely no sign of him!" Gray growled.

"But where could be be then!?" Happy cried. "Why would he do that?!"

"He...wouldn't..." Lucy murmured. "Unless..."

Everyone looked at him. "Unless?" Erza wondered urgently.

"Unless...remember when..."Messenger" came to the guild?"

Everyone nodded.

"Well...remember what he said? What Zeref said?" Lucy asked.

Gray frowned. "You think that Zeref's words got to flame brain?"

"Maybe. Natsu's been acting really weird lately. I can tell he is still sleep deprived, maybe he wants to get rid of that? Maybe Zeref could help?"

"Why would you think that Natsu's privation over sleep is doing something to him?" Erza asked.

"He snuck into my apartment the other day, and I swear when I was sleeping, or...sorta sleeping, still unaware that Natsu was right besides me, I swear that I heard someone say, Zeref. It sounded like Natsu, and you know some times he can sleep talk."

"It could have been a dream you were having." Wendy suggested.

"No," Lucy tapped her chin. "I was still awake, but...I was sorta sleeping."

"That makes no sense." Gray grumbled.

"It does! To me."

"I understand." Erza said. "It's happened to myself before."

"The two options we have to pick from is," Gray started. "Natsu wandered off to find Zeref, and learn about his sleep deprivation, or, he was abducted."

"I'm sticking with he was nabbed," Lucy said sternly.

"Yeah!" Agreed Happy. "There's no way that Natsu would go after Zeref!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

But they were all wrong.

Spinning.

The world was spinning around.

Sick.

Nausea, that's what he felt.

Guilt, anger, emotions.

Natsu blinked. He was standing in a large room. It was full of books, armchairs, and other household items...but there were lesser then in a regular house.

Natsu stumbled a bit.

"Ah, yes. Sorry, the affect's will ware off in a minute or so." Messenger reassured. "Happens to anyone and everyone."

Natsu rolled his eyes and stood up straight. "Where is he?"

"Right through there." Messenger pointed at a large door. "Go right in."

Natsu approached it, and stared at it for a moment.

What was he doing?

For all he knew, this was a trap.

Even if it wasn't...was he so curious about his dreams? So curious about the last time him and Zeref had spoken?

Natsu took a breath, and opened the doors, and stepped in. The doors slammed shut behind him, almost making Natsu jumped. He sniffed the air. It smelled familiar. It smelled warm. It sent a smile to Natsu's face.

Why was it doing that?

Natsu glanced around the room. Dull. There were windows, with drapes open. A chair sat next to the window, and Natsu could make out a person.

He gingerly and sheepishly proceeded on moving towards the chair. Then, the person got up.

There was a smiling raven haired person.

Zeref.

"Natsu."

"Zeref."

Natsu had to hold himself back from stuttering.

"I-I didn't think you'd come."

"Me neither." Natsu agreed slowly, not moving his eyes from Zeref.

Zeref smiled. "I wanted to wait-"

"No," Natsu interrupted. "you want everything to be a riddle."

Zeref scowled. "I am not trying to do that. It's...just so confusing for me also. It's not about puzzles. Or unraveling mysteries," Zeref explained, walking around the room. "it's about figuring out how exactly to tell you. How to phrase the right sentences. I want to help, to tell you something piece by piece. I know your smart enough to unfold secretes that are hidden behind my words, Natsu."

Natsu raised his eyebrows, as he waited for Zeref to continue, trying to hold back the swarm of questions waiting to be asked.

"You need to know, that you have to kill me. You need to." Zeref sighed. "I know you can do it. I do understand why you have held back, even if you do not."

Natsu downed his brows. "Excuse me?"

"You would not hesitate to incapacitate a being, or even bring them close to expiration. But the only thing you did when you saw me again...was punch me."

Zeref sounded so disappointed, Natsu was confused. Why was he disappointed that Natsu only punched him?

"I must tell you the truth I suppose." Zeref sighed once more. "But I do believe your friends are waiting for you, perhaps you would like to wait, and see them-"

"No!" Natsu snapped. "No. I have waited to long, your puzzles only make me rack my brain for an answer! I have questions, and I will not be leaving until they are answered! Until you tell me why you have "missed" me! I'm done with waiting!"

Zeref stared at him for a moment, and looked at his feet. "I-I understand."

Zeref took a deep breath. "At some point in the distant past, stated to be around 400 years ago, I witnessed the deaths of many people. Around this time, I also became cursed, and unintentionally took the lives of all those around me... I was described as having alighted in an ancient land, mastered Black Magic, given birth to tens of thousands of Demons, and thrown the world into chaos. However, I-I had cursed myself to becoming immortal, desiring to die and eventually created the Etherious born to kill me with E.N.D. as my final masterpiece."

Zeref paused, and then continued.

"In actuality, I ... had become-was a student at a Magic Academy in Mildia, where I researched the connections between life, death and Magic to revive m-my...brother, whom died at a young age. After creating things such as the R-System and the Eclipse Gate, I was expelled from the academy for breaching the sacred teachings of Ankhseram, however I was cursed by Ankhseram and then I killed everyone around him with my newfound, unwanted curse of contradiction."

Zeref's eyes filled with tears. "After this, I-I wished to die and wandered around, creating the Etherious in the hopes that they would kill me, but instead turned to reviving my dead brother, having preserved his body, as an Etherious, thus fulfilling my goal of bringing my brother back and creating something that could kill me: E.N.D."

Natsu stood there, listening intently, and when Zeref didn't speak, he decided to.

"E.N.D was...your brother?"

Zeref nodded, and glanced at Natsu.

"W-why did you say you missed me?" Natsu wondered, flipping back to his normal self for one second. "You aren't gay, are you?"

Zeref chuckled. "Natsu, please, ask me the questions you said you had."

Natsu cleared his throat. "I-I've been having...nightmares-dreams. Um... Well, the thing is..."

Natsu didn't feel comfortable talking to a stranger about his dreams.

"But you...you were in all of them."

Zeref bit his lip. "I have been having dreams too."

"Have you been sleep deprived? Because every damn time I go to sleep, I wake up feeling just as flipping tired as I did before I went to sleep!" Natsu exclaimed.

Zeref looked a bit astounded. "You...you have? I-I didn't intend that at all."

"You didn't, huh? Well you obviously did it, and I want to know why the hell you did it, and why the hell I am having sleep deprivation!"

"I was trying to answer your questions." Zeref muttered. "I knew...I knew you were curious. I knew you wanted to know. So...so I was giving you memories."

Natsu let out a slight gasp. "M-memroies?"

"Yes."

"Y-your memories?"

"Yes, but not just mine."

Natsu stared at him.

"Your as well."

Natsu bit his lip.

"Natsu. I need to tell you, E.N.D's real name. See..."end" are abbreviations. They stand for... Etherious Natsu Dragneel."

Natsu's eyes widened.

"Natsu...my name is Zeref Dragneel, I-I'm your brother."

I understand that's not how the MANGA went, but this is how I am doing it for my fan fiction.
Please don't hate on my story! I'm such a wimp with words.

Truth: Going through Depression. And...writing is my only keyhole out of it, I know I'm not a good writer, but...well...I love it. Anyways...when people say bad things about my story, or say I did something wrong, like...seriously wrong, (i don't care about spelling errors, that's alright, and that's something I ask you to tell me because I'm dyslexic) just critics, or people flaming. I get worse. :( I need therapy.

Anyways, please leave a review! hope you liked it!

If not, please don't leave a review about how bad it was!
