You walked down the sidewalk alongside Natsu; you were surprised that he didn't wear a sweatshirt for how cold it is during this time of month.
"You're sure you aren't cold?" You said for the 3rd time as you avoided a fire hydrant and at the same time still balanced on the curb you were trying to walk on.
"I'm positive I'm not cold (y/n)." Natsu sighed as he walked down the sidewalk like a normal person.
You eventually gave up walking on the curb after you fell 3 times in a row within the span of 5 minutes. You and Natsu walked for about 10 more minutes until a shady looking truck drove by pretty slowly, you couldn't see inside because the windows were blurry, but however you did see a shaded figure. Natsu moved you to the other side of him so you weren't facing the truck, after Natsu made this action the truck sped off and you guys didn't see it again.
You both eventually made it to the skate park after 5 more minutes. The only reason it took you guys so long was because you walked. Usually Natsu would have ridden his skateboard there, but since you were here this time he had to walk with you.
"Hey did anyone just see a shady black dirty truck come driving by about 6 or 7 minutes ago?" Natsu said as he ran up to his friends panting along with you following close behind.
"Umm, well we did see a dirty grey truck earlier, but I doubt it was the one you're looking for..." A long black haired guy spoke up walking towards Natsu.
"Mind telling us why you're looking for such a specific truck?" The same guy spoke up again.
"Well, it drove by me and (y/n) while we were walking here and well, the figure inside was looking pretty closely at (y/n) so I moved her to the other side of me and I kinda looked at the window in a glaring way and the man inside pulled his head away from the window and sped off." Natsu explained in detail as the group made faces of grimace.
"Sounds like a load of pervert was in that truck." Gray stated bluntly as he walked up to the group.
"You're a pervert yourself ya fag." The long haired guy stated again.
"Well Gray isn't the same type of pervert as the guy in the truck was, Gajeel." A short, little blue haired girl said standing next to the man known as Gajeel.
"He's still a pervert, Levy." Gajeel whispered under his breath. Levy just face palmed in response.
"Oh shut up Gajeel, anyway, Natsu, why were you gone today!?" Gray said turning towards the pink haired boy.
Natsu turned back to you and asked if it was okay to tell them the story of what happened. You simply nodded your head as a sign of 'yes'.
-_Time Skip_-
Natsu was too busy explaining about what had happened the previous night to notice the dirty old black truck driving by again, this time though was different then the last. This time, the truck had pulled up to the curb of the skate park and stopped. You turned around to see the familiar truck parked against the curb, a door opened up and a man got out. A very… Familiar looking man. You realized it was your psycho father getting out of the old grimy truck and walking towards the entrance of the skate park. Your eyes widened in pure shock and horror as you watched the male walking slowly towards your group. Your breath hitched as you walked backwards and bumped into Natsu lightly. You screamed and jumped forwards a bit, then looked back to the man, He looked like he had gotten a tattoo of a lightning bolt over his right eye. Natsu looked back at you suspiciously, you looked up at him and ran around in front of him, and you grabbed his shirt pulling your face into it almost as if you were trying to hide yourself inside of Natsu's shirt. You were shaking harder than ever before.
"(Y/n) what's wrong?!" Natsu asked sternly pulling you in closer, knowing you were absolutely petrified of something.
At this point, the whole group was staring at you and Natsu. You lifted up a shaky hand and pointed at the male that was almost upon your group.
"Laxus! Hey!" Gray, Gajeel and Natsu said almost perfectly in sync.
You lifted up your head off of Natsu's chest to see that it was just a look alike of your father, and that the man that was standing in front of the group was way broader and more muscular then the psycho dad back at home. You shakily let go of Natsu's shirt and backed up a few inches to look at the man known as Laxus.
"Hey guys, wait, who's this new girl?" Laxus said taking a step closer to you.
You were still petrified of the blonde man in front of you; you started shaking again and hid behind Natsu's back.
"Everything okay?" He asked in a softer voice as if to not sound as mean as he did the first time.
You squeaked and burrowed deeper into the poor pink-headed boys back. Natsu had finally had enough of you being scared and reached around to pull you in front of him. You tried to resist, but Natsu had extremely strong arms so he won the partial tug-of-war fight. You were pulled to the front of Natsu; he had one arm around your lower waist and one just above the bottom of your rib cage. You looked up at Natsu, then back to the muscular blonde in front of you.
"Sorry…" You began to apologize, "You just looked extremely familiar to a person back home…" You said trying to back up deeper into the boy's body that was behind you.
"It's no big deal. If you can, could you please tell me who this person you were obviously so scared of is?" Laxus hesitantly asked.
"…" You hesitated for a brief moment before speaking up again. "He was my father."
The whole group except Natsu and you gasped. Questions were rapidly buzzing in the air about what happened and what your father had done to you.
"ONE QUESTION AT A TIME, PLEASE!" You yelled at the flustered group, earning stares from skaters in the park.
After a minute of silence Erza spoke up.
"(Y/n), please tell us what happened…." She asked in a gentle voice.
"Well… I don't want you running to the police after this, alright? Any of you. Got it?!" You shouted in a stern voice as the group flinched.
They all nodded their heads yes, scared to make you angrier and agitated.
-_Time Skip_-
You finished explaining about what had happened to you while you were back at home.
It was still and completely silent in the group for about 30 seconds before everyone started moving in sync with each other, they all came closer and closer until you were fully enveloped in a big group hug. You felt loved, happier and also surprised about the fact that they cared for you.
"U-Uhm… Y-you guys can let go now…" You said in a muffled tone after 2 whole minutes of silence while being concealed in the loving hug.
"Oh, sorry about that! Uhm… could we maybe skate now?" Gajeel said as he picked up his board from a few feet behind him.
"Sure thing!" You said cheerfully as you felt a hand on your shoulder.
"Natsu or you never said that you can skate… Can you?" Gray asked almost like he wouldn't believe if you said you could.
"Hell yeah I can skate." You said making a fist and a daring face.
"Prove it then." Gray and Gajeel said in unison as Gajeel tossed you his board.
"Just watch me!" You said setting the board down, jumping on it and pressing off the ground with your foot to make you go forward.
