Chapter 8: Who's the real Hoodie?

Lucy's POV.

Natsu placed the flowers upon my head and smiles his 'Natsu' grin. I smiled at him as well. He suddenly stiffened as he smelt someone familiar.

"What's wrong?" I tilted my head, waiting for an answer.

"That person is coming…" He emphasized his disgust of the word "Person" He paused and stared at something behind me. Before I turned around a pair of hands covered my eyes.

"Guess who~" Someone purred happily behind me. I can hear Natsu growling lowly.

"Umm…I give up" I said. The hands released from my eyes. I turned around and saw a light blond spikey haired teen grinning at me. Behind him was a dark-haired teen with his arms crossed, looking at the group.

"S-sting?" I whispered. He smiled even wider.

"So you do remember me! Even after 10 years! You gotten prettier than before" He exclaimed and complementing me.

Sting is back, Sting…is here… Hoodie is back…My…Hoodie is back after 10 years. Tears started at the corner of my eyes.

"Hey don't cry Lucy! Don't be sad so…" He smiling, showing his pointy teeth just like Natsu. He grabs my chin and lifts it up so my eyes can meet his.

"…We can pick up where we left off" He said purring a little bit. I blushed.

Suddenly a hand grabbed Sting's hand off my chin. Natsu pulls me behind him and throws Sting's hand away. He got up to Sting, their foreheads smashed together like how he does with Gray but his eyes was wild.

"Why are you doing back Sting?!" He asked him, pissed. Sting just grinned at him.

"What do you mean Natsu-san?" He said innocently. Natsu growled at his response.

"W-wait how you know each other?" I asked interjecting their fighting aura.

"How do you know him?!" Natsu asked me, pointing at Sting. Sting laughed loudly and the man behind him chuckled lightly.

"Well, I'm her Prince Charming while you're the evil dragon isn't that right Lucy-Chan~" He told me. Natsu scoffed "Unlikely…" He mumbled.

"Oh Lucy-I mean Princess would you mind if I chat with Natsu- san for a little bit?" He turns to me grinning. I look at Natsu; he looks at me, frowning but nods to reassure me. I reluctantly walked away from them.

What is Natsu going to do with Hoodie?

Natsu's POV.

"Okay Eucliffe!" I said threatening as Princess left. Sting smiled at me almost evilly.

"What do you want Natsu-san? I just want to see my role model or should I say ex-role model" He said too innocently.

"Cut that act Sting! You know I was the one who made the nice guy act!" I snapped at him. Sting's expression turned to his regular personality.

"Why you came back? Did Jose send you?" I asked them, are they back for Princess?!

"Why should I tell you Natsu-san? I was just looking for some fun in my case with Lucy-chan." Sting smiled at Rogue. "And besides we're stronger Dragon Slayers than you, you couldn't catch up to us even if you wanted to" He added then started laughing at me.

"I'm way stronger than both of you combined!" I told them angrily. Rogue chuckled while Sting roared with laughter.

"Everybody knows you stopped training right after you left Princess Lucy, how could you possibly be stronger than us in 10 years?"

"How could you guys be stronger when you killed your own dragons?!" I snapped back. They stopped their laughter.

"I should've never shown you the Dragon's Den!' I added. The blond and the dark-haired teen were deathly quiet…

Flashback

Normal POV.

(A/N Lucy is 5 in this flashback, Natsu is 2 years older. He met Lucy when he was 9)

6-year old Natsu grabbed his regular red hoodie and his bag filled with food, he quickly dashed out of the guild. He ran into the woods following the trail that he takes regularly. He was late for his month training with Igneel (That's the reason he brought food… either way he is going to finish it before the month ends…)

"Damn it! Igneel is going to kill me! I'm late, I'm late, I'm late Gahhhhh!" He yelled as he ran even faster.

Suddenly there was something in his way. As thick-headed Natsu is, he ran into that thing or should he say 2 things.

"OUCH…" he groaned. He glanced at the things he had bashed into. There were two little kids lying on the side of the trail, groaning as well. They were probably 1 or 2 years younger than him.

"Oi!" He hollered to them. Natsu got up and walked toward the two kids. One had spikey hair like him but blond and the other had black hair, one part of his bangs cover one of his eyes.

"What the hell?! You just rammed into us!" The blond-boy said but he was trying to hold in his tears, the dark-haired boy was doing the same. Natsu flinched; he wasn't good with crying children.

"Hehe… I'm sorry, I was in a rush" Natsu puts one of his arms behind his head and laughs nervously. The blond hair boy then releases his tears and started sobbing.

"Whoa! I'm sorry! Please calm down I beg of you!" Natsu tried to calm down the blond then the black haired boy starts to cry too. "Not you too!" Natsu says the boy, groaning.

Natsu moaned 'I'm going to be late even more…' he thought tiredly. The boys slowly stopped crying, Natsu stayed with them until they finished drying their tears.

"Hey, you guys done?" Natsu asked the two boys. They nodded cautiously, eyeing at him wearily. Natsu finally took a good look at the boys' appearance. They both have dirt smeared over their body and faces. Their clothes were thinning out and they look like they've been living in the streets. A silence happens between them, and the growling sounds from their hungry stomachs were heard. Natsu looks at the two boys, raising one eyebrow.

"You guys hungry?" He asks the boys, already knowing the answer.

The 2 boys looked embarrassed; the dark-haired boy clutched his stomach as if to tell it to stop growling. The blond-hair boy looked at black haired boy; they spoke with eye connection like they were asked this many times. The black haired boy finally spoke. "No, we're not hungry" but his stomach interrupted him again.

"Well your stomach speaks for yourself" Natsu laughs. The boys looked bashful and averted their eyes away from him. Natsu pulled off his bag and brought out the food dishes which are wrapped in plastic wrap so it won't spoil, for his trip. He laid the food in front of the boys.

"Eat up…" Natsu folds his arms and motioned them to eat. The boys' eyes widened and looked at him incredulously. They started to cry again, Natsu flinched again, did he do something wrong?

"T-thank y-you…" they said simultaneously and grabbed the food, sobbing while they ate, telling Natsu it was delicious. 'Well Mira made it for me' He about to say but sat quietly, letting them enjoy their meal. As they finished Natsu packed the empty food dishes in his bag. After he finished, he held out his hand in front of the two boys.

"My name is Natsu Dragneel!" He grinned his canine smile. The boys look at his hand as if it's mutated.

"You're supposed to tell me your name and shake my hand?" He explained. The blond-haired boy stood up and shook Natsu's hand first.

"My name is Sting Eucliffe, Natsu-san" He said, adding an honorific to my name. He looked at the black haired boy who got up and shook Natsu's hand as well.

"I'm Rogue Cheney. Thank you for helping us Natsu-san! We are grateful" Rogue said smiling as he shook Natsu's hand.

"Well sit down we have a lot to talk about…"

Natsu told the boys about his guild, his family, how he never met his parents, his training teacher, basically everything about him. The boys exchange stories about their pasts as well, Rogue was born in a wealthy family but somehow there was an explosion which killed both his parents and luckily he survived. Sting was the opposite than Rogue; Sting was born by a poor merchant. His father has left him and his mother, his mother died from a sickness from bad living conditions, so he went to search for his father. He later heard from the adoption center, that he was staying in, that his father was actually killed by a man when he was being born. Sting ran away from the adoption center and fortunally found Rogue living in a run-down building. It was also the scene where Rogue's parents died. They had been together for 3 years. As they finished, all Natsu thought about was they had such an awful life and they are only 5 years old.

Suddenly Natsu's eyes widened. "OH NO! I'M LATE!" Sting and Rogue had a confused expression on their faces but later they looked sadden because Natsu packed his stuff to leave. Natsu slung his food bag around his shoulder and walk away. Rogue and Sting looked at his walking silhouette wondering why he didn't say goodbye. They were alone again. Then Natsu's figure stopped and turned around.

"What are guys standing there for? Aren't you coming with me?" He grinned back at them as they finally got the point. The looked at each other and ran toward Natsu smiling.

As the boys caught up to Natsu, he ruffled the boys' hair and led them to the secret training ground where Natsu was going to meet Igneel.

"Well you guys have to promise me something before I show you my secret place, do you swear to keep it for the rest of your little lives?" Natsu asked them. They thought about it and nodded. Natsu smiled his 'Natsu' smile and pulled a well-woven concealing device that covers a small opening to a cave. Sting and Rogue's eyes widened.

"Welcome to the Dragon's Den" Natsu smiles at them as their eyes sparkled. They crawled through while Natsu covered the entrance. Inside was darkness, Sting shivered and Rogue looked around, the cave was decorated with ancient drawing of dragons ruling Fiore, this isn't what they were expecting. Natsu noticed their amazed expression and leads them out of the cave. Once they came out, there was a huge pair of eyes looking at them. Rogue and Sting held each other and screamed, Natsu laughed and ran toward the creature.

"IGNEEL! I'M HERE!" He yelled but the creature's tail slammed him to the wall.

"NATSU!" the voice booms "YOU ARE A HOUR LATE!" it scolds Natsu. Rogue and Sting got a good look of the creature. It was a big red Dragon…DRAGON! Not only that, there were more next to him. Also there were two other small children standing next to different dragons.

There was a dark blue pigtailed girl and a boy with black who was scowling. The girl was standing next to a white dragon whose scales that look like feathers and the boy was standing next to a dragon that looks like metal. Natsu then got up from the smashed wall like nothing happened. He ran toward the girl and the scowling boy.

"Wendy! Gajeel! You're here!" He shouts to them, waving.

"Good morning Natsu-san" the girl bows to Natsu, politely.

"You are late Salamander" The boy smirked to him. 'Gajeel' noticed the two other boys, Rogue was staring at Gajeel with sparkles in his eyes. He gestures to them "Who are they?" Natsu grinned at the two nakama he had made.

"Oi! Igneel? Do we have any room for Sting and Rogue?" Igneel looks at Natsu; did Natsu forget that he was late for over an hour? But he finally noticed the two boys. (So slow Igneel… so slow)

"Who are they Natsu?"

"I didn't tell you?" The dragons, Wendy, Gajeel, Rogue and Sting sweat dropped.

"These are my new friends Sting and Rogue" Natsu explained. "I sensed they have strong magic like us so… I want them to train with us, they are our new nakama!" Natsu grinned at Sting and Rogue. The boys started to cry and ran to hug Natsu.

"OOF!" They both knocked Natsu off his feet. "Ouch…" Natsu groaned but later laughed as he got while the boys clung onto him still crying. They trained together with their dragons for 2 years. Until they left Natsu for 10 years and killed their dragons…

Flashback ends.

Natsu's POV.

"You left forever why don't you stay gone" I growled at them.

"Well we didn't mean to leave you or…" Rogue paused, his voice barely heard, but I heard it since I was dragon slayer. Sting looked at the ground, Natsu's eyes widen once he heard that.

"What...?" Natsu asked.

Rogue's eyes widened when he realized what he just blurted out. "What do you mean, you never wanted to leave?" I asked them slowly.

"Never mind Natsu-san, we are here to say what Jose wants" Sting says calmly. I eyed Sting and Rogue wearily. What made them turn to the way they are now?

"Alright…"I replied.

Lucy's POV.

Sting… is he really my hoodie?

Hoodie never called me Lucy before? Did Sting change over the 10 years? But one part of me thinks Sting is not my Hoodie…Then who's my real Hoodie? Man I'm so confused…

'I wonder how Natsu and Sting are doing' I thought as I looked at the starry night …I walked through the town looking at the pretty lights. I waved to some of the people in our guild and even participated in some attractions. An hour passed and I came upon the place where Natsu, Sting, and the dark-haired man were. The only person there was… Natsu on his knees, crying. My eyes widen…I never seen Natsu cry before…

I walked toward him and sat beside him. I put my arm around him, comforting him over something I don't know.
