You and Natsu shortly pulled up to the curb right in front of the school doors. Natsu turned off the vehicle and unlocked the doors allowing you to step out. Hoots and hollers along with whistles filled the air as you stood up. You looked around and saw various colored lights and costumes that filled the court yard behind you. Guys quickly started to approach you but scurried away when they saw Natsu walk up behind you wrapping a protective arm around your waist and glaring into their eyes as a sign of 'try me.'
After Natsu made it clear to the guys that you were here with him, and you made it clear to the girls that he was here with you, you both made your way around the courtyard to attempt to find your friends. There was lots of walking involved along with almost tripping due to grass catching your heel here and there, but Natsu made sure to catch you every time.
You eventually got tired of nearly falling on your face and kindly asked Natsu if you both could move to the cemented basketball courts where the dance floor was, he couldn't have agreed more as he was getting tired of your constant tripping, so you and he both moved onto the cement where you not only met your friends, but a few Sabertooth high members.
"Yo! Natsu! (Y/n)! Over here!" you and Natsu both heard a voice call from the punch table. It was Gray, he of course was with Juvia, she was dressed up as a beautiful rain princess with an elegant puffy blue strapless gown on with a thick strip of sequins circling her waist along with a sparkly tiara with a single raindrop in the middle. Gray however was an ice prince with a dark navy blue tuxedo on with a white undershirt and black tie along with black dress shoes and dress pants along with a crown that was made out of what looked like icicles and also had a frosted texture to it.
"What're you two supposed to be? A married werewolf couple?" Gray snorted.
"Pfft, you shouldn't be talking, Ice prince…ess! Natsu laughed at his own horrible joke as Gray just looked thoroughly unimpressed.
"Whatever hothead, say what you want. All I know is that Juvia and I will be the number one Halloween couple." Gray said looking triumphantly while having an arm around his dear girlfriend's waist as she swooned at his side, looking passionately into Gray's eyes.
"Pfft, in your dreams, Halloween is supposed to be scary! You two look like you're going to a prom more than a Halloween dance!" Natsu retorted as Gray pulled up his sleeve getting ready for a fight.
"Oh please, you think you look threatening with a tuxedo on? Ha!- Mpfh!" Natsu's face was punched and violently turned to the side from the shock of the hit that Gray had created.
"Don't insult my costume choice lava brains!" Gray said, tackling Natsu to the ground starting a big fight with a big puff of dust and smoke emitting from the battle.
You decided that you'd walk off and try and find Erza or Lucy, but to your surprise you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned to meet familiar lavender eyes staring back at you.
"Where's your 'boyfriend'?" Sting said almost teasingly as if trying to get you to go out with him again.
You pointed in the direction of the heated battle that Natsu was in, "Over there.."
You tried to then continue your journey with finding a friend but you felt an arm lace into yours and start to drag you away from the dance floor.
"Hey! Let go Sting!" you said trying to struggle out of the boy's tight grip.
"Nah, I don't really feel like it sorry!" he said gripping your arm tighter and started dragging you faster.
Meanwhile Natsu and Gray were in a heated battle when they both pinned each other with their foreheads clashing, both of them staring menacingly into each other's eyes.
"Give it up fire freak! Juvia and I will be the school's next number one couple!" Gray taunted, throwing a punch into Natsu's gut.
Natsu staggered back and threw a vicious glare in Gray's direction. "Oh please! Nobody knows about you two! Hell, I didn't even know you two were dating until tonight! Me and (Y/n) here-" he grabbed for your arm but nothing was there. He looked in all directions but you were nowhere to be found, he yelled your name with a frightened look plastered on his face as he looked at Gray.
"Looks like your date is missing! Now we will surely win!" Gray held Juvia's arm high as she let out a happy squeal jumping up and down.
"Dude, this isn't a joke! I really don't know where she is! She would have told me where she was going before running off!" Natsu started to panic, circling two fingers on both his temples while pacing in circles and lines.
"Hey, calm down man. She probably just went to find Lucy or Erza, you should probably try asking one of them." Gray said trying to calm the panicking pink head freaking out in front of him.
"Right!" Natsu said, bolting off into the hoard of people dancing
In less than two minutes he had found Lucy who was talking with Levy while drinking punch by the bar.
"Yo!" Natsu said trying to catch his breath while leaning on the table hunched over with one hand supporting himself on his knee.
"Natsu!? Where's (Y/n), I thought she was coming here with you?" Lucy said rather taken aback by Natsu's sudden appearance.
"She did! I was with her when I met up with Gray, but then he and I got into a fight and I didn't see her again, so he assumed that she had run off to find either you or Erza. Have you seen her around here!?" Natsu said still panicking.
"No, we haven't seen her pass through here once, maybe try Erza?" Levy said apologetically.
"Shit!" Natsu said running off through the crowd again.
He soon found Erza talking with Jellal on the outskirts of the dance floor where there were fewer people.
"Hey! Guys! Have you seen-" Natsu stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes lit up with the pure essence of anger as he looked to the left and saw you being pinned up against a tree in the far distance where it was darker due to the lack of lights.
-_Violence Warning!_-
"STING STOP!" you wailed, struggling against the male's strong arms.
"This is what happens when you don't have your precious boyfriend here to save you, my little beauty.~" Sting said turning his head to the side inching closer to your face and staring you deep in the eyes.
"NATSMMPHH!" You tried yelling out to Natsu again but Sting had slammed his hand over your mouth making the back of your head hit the tree.
Your vision started becoming fuzzy and white spots had started forming around the corners of your eyes. You suddenly felt the pressure around your arms lessen as you saw Sting fly to the side violently. Not two seconds later you saw Natsu and Gray run after him with anger in their eyes, you heard distant sounds of choking, grunts and wails and you could only assume Natsu was beating the shit out of Sting. You had no idea you had slid to the ground when Gray came running over, concern and fear written all over his face as he picked you up off the grass. You had looked back at the tree and saw blood splattered all over the tree, you r eyes grew wide as you started to panic and squirm in Gray's grip. You clutched his tux and buried your face into it out of pure instinct and fear. About five minutes later you heard Natsu scream.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR ALMOST KNOCKING MY GIRLFRIEND OUT, NEXT TIME YOU DO ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE TO DEALING WITH HER YOU WILL BE DEAD." After Natsu's outburst you heard a terrified whimper in the distance along with shuffling. You turned your head and stared in pure horror at a battered, bloody and broken Sting laying on bloody and torn up grass shaking curled up in the fetal position with Natsu towering over him glaring daggers at him. You had never seen Natsu so angry.
"N-N-Nats-su…" you said surprised at how weak you sounded.
He turned at looked at you with a sad, sorry and concerned look on his face as he rushed over to you, taking you from Gray's hold, cradling you as you bawled into his fluffy vest clutching it hardly like it was your only means of staying alive.
Your head hurt from shaking, crying and the injury you got from the tree, Natsu had rushed you to his house where he sat you on the ledge of the bathtub having you face the inside of it while he sat on a stool with bandages and antibiotics, cleaning the bruise you got.
"It's really small compared to how much blood came out of it…" he said softly dabbing your wound with a cotton ball.
"This will sting a bit so be prepared…" he said as you heard liquid slosh back in a bottle and a thud as he set it back on the counter behind him. You felt a burning followed by stinging on the upper back of your head; you grip the edge of the tub and hiss through your teeth as he dabbed the liquid on.
-_Time Skip_-
You now sit cuddled up next to Natsu on the couch watching (F/S) with a blanket draped over the both of you.
"I'm still disappointed that I missed my first dance…" you said sadly snuggling your face into the crook of Natsu's arm and chest.
"It's alright babe… You always have the Christmas dance to look forward too, I'll make sure to stay by your side the whole time, so it isn't ruined. He said gently petting the hair covering your wound.
A few minutes later you heard a knock on the door, you stood up to go open it but Natsu grabbed your hand and told you to sit down so he could get it, turns out it was all of your friends at the door. Lucy and Erza ran in and hugged you tightly, they knew you got hurt but they didn't know where so one of them put their hand right on your wound and pushed your head into their chest, you yelped out a cry of pain and Natsu was there in a matter of seconds backing the girls up and cradling you in his arms.
"Natsu… Natsu I'm fine…" you said trying to make him let go.
"No no babe, you must never be hurt again!" Natsu said kissing your cheek and rocking back and forth.
A few hours passed and everyone's gone home leaving you and Natsu snuggled up on the couch under a mountain of blankets, you were lying on his chest fast asleep in dream land while Natsu was wide awake still flipping through channels when the door opening startled him, making him jump a little which caused you to wake up. Turns out it was just Natsu's dad that was getting home late from work.
"Oops, sorry you two.. Didn't mean to scare you guys or anything.." Igneel said slipping off his shoes.
Natsu gave his father a stern look but then smiled and welcomed him home and went back to softly petting your hair and flipping through channels, you easily drifted off again with Natsu's heartbeat lulling you to sleep.
