/the dragon king
"Bow down to the Dragon King!" the masked man cackled evilly, grinning wildly at the crowd. "If you don't want your worst nightmare to come true, then you better do everything I say!"
An uneasy murmur rose from the onlookers. They had no idea who the guy was and they didn't want to risk themselves in case he was really a hardened criminal.
Suddenly, the "Dragon King" tilted his head back to face the sky and a long jet of fire shot out from his mouth. As if on cue, the screaming and frantic shoving began.
"Get outta my way!"
"I can't die yet! I'm too beautiful!"
"Aghhhhhhh!"
The masked man surveyed the chaos with satisfaction, nodding happily with his fists planted on his hips - that is, until he caught sight of one unamused blonde shaking her head and making her way towards him.
His eyes widened but he quickly pulled himself together and told himself that she didn't know. How could she? He was in disguise after all!
He watched her progress with a smirk and a raised eyebrow, arms folded across his bare chest. She threw him a murderous glare as she squeezed through sobbing people trying to run away. He ignored the pang of fear in his chest. She was just being righteous, that was all. She didn't know -
"Natsu Dragneel, you bastard, if you don't get down from there right this second and prostrate yourself on the ground with an apology then so help me God, I will rip your balls off and shove them up your ass with your eyeballs!" she yelled at him furiously, seething. He could practically see the smoke rising from her head.
And here he thought he was like a dragon.
Then her words settled into his brain and he panicked.
"Uh, who is this Natsu Dragneel you speak of? I have never heard of him for I am the Dragon King! But he sounds like a great guy! In fact, I'm sure he's super strong and good-looking and popular and funny and perfect and - EEK!" he screamed as she launched herself at him and toppled them both onto the ground, where they rolled a few times before coming to a stop on the grass.
He groaned and tried to get up, only to find her sprawled on top of him. She raised her head and met his eyes with her own.
He gulped.
"Wait Lucy, I can explain - "
"LUCY KICK!"
After thoroughly beating him up - "I-I...think y-you've been...s-s-s-spending too m-much time with...Erza..." - she ripped off his ridiculous mask and dragged him by the foot to go find Erza and get everything sorted.
"What the hell were you thinking, Natsu?" she shouted. "You were supposed to be doing your fire dancing act, not scaring the shit out of everyone! where the hell did you even get this stupid mask?"
"Hey, I made that!"
"No wonder it's so stupid-looking," she muttered. She casually tossed it into a nearby trash can, ignoring his lamenting moans, and continued pulling him along behind her.
"Jesus Christ, what the hell were you thinking?" she asked again, still not fully able to comprehend what she had just seen.
"I was just having some fun!" he pouted. "But more importantly, how did you know it was me?"
At that, she froze and unceremoniously dumped him onto the ground. She whirled on him and gave him her most incredulous look. "Are you kidding me, Natsu? The least you could've done if you didn't want to be recognized was to cover your stupid pink hair!"
"Oh."
She rolled her eyes and stalked away, knowing he would soon pick himself up and follow her.
"Wai - hey! Luce, that's mean! My hair's not stupid! You don't really think that, do you? Luce? Luce!? Lucy!"
