The day I'm going to formally meet Natsu's parents.

"Hello dear!- EEH?! What happened with you leg?"

"Oh nothing, hehe I flipped through the stairs and landed with my legs. And now they hurt less than yesterday."

"Re-really now?" I beamed at them. Feigning hurt emitting from my right leg.

"So far, how's life with my son? Was he naughty?"

"No! He's a dear" a dear devil! He's the friggin reason why I got my leg wrapped in bandages.

"Really? That's shocking, he's never a dear to anyone, maybe marrying you was the best decision, because someone finally put a leash on him"

"So what's the story behind you flipping down the stairs?"

It all started when I woke up that one fine morning, a beautiful Saturday morning, I hummed as I flung the curtains open, embracing the heat of an after dawn. I showered with tepid water while humming the song my mother used to sing for me (A/N:Downtown; Petula Clark ) Then suddenly, Natsu barged in and ruined my day! While I was about to get my prepared outfit off my bed, Natsu stole my underwear! And of course my brassiere. Aside from being almost naked, he skipped down the stairs and the next thing I know I slide down through it!

And the best part was? He waited downstairs with a fucking video cam!

He took the whole thing!

" Oh she was just being clumsy"

"really" I glared at his direction.

"yes, it's your fault I slept on the couch last night without even wrapping me up with a fucking blanket. I was freezing like a frozen chicken for thanksgiving." he irritatingly mumbled next to my hear, glancing at his mother to make sure she couldn't hear him.

Natsu who's now beside me stood proudly at his parents' view. Much to their amusement, he was almost wrapped like a mummy, his face had bandages of different sizes, on his neck, his forehead, his arms, his legs and even his toes.

"My God, Natsu! Have you been in an accident?!"

His mother noticing our bodies in a rather unpleasant view concluded that we might have run through trouble whilst coming here.

" No, he was just clumsy." I beamed at them, reassuring them that everything's all right.

You could say after I noticed him taking a video, I quickly tackled him to the ground and started a fight with him, I crushed the camera with my bare hands as Natsu cringed at the scene, he was under my glorious body by the way and proudly crushing his little cam all the way. I gave him an upper cut, a hundred slap, a dozen of clawing and of course when he tried to get up I purposely stomped on his feet hard enough that he screamed.

When the maids were done wrapping us with bandages at the living room, we made a deal to not give a word about what happened. We both nodded as a sign of sealing the truce.

Invited at the mansion of the Dragneels, we got there by 8:30 am and I was being abducted by his mother. She wanted to take me to shopping but after she saw me halfway from jumping along the steps, she pitied me enough to just hand me a weelchair.

Natsu who saw me riding my own weelchair got jealous. He even asked his mom to give him also since he was the more wounded patient. Mrs. Dragneel just rolled her eyes and told him to get himself one since he's a fucking CEO.

And with that in mind, like he just knew he was a fucking CEO, he instantly called Wakaba to send him one. Wakaba's one of his trusted people.

By 12 noon we gathered at the dining hall..

Different dishes were brought out of the kitchen, exotic food were placed at the center and others were dishes I haven't dared eaten yet.

I sat next to Natsu on the right side of his father's seat. His little sister Wendy was still at school so his mother Grandeeney sat alone next to her husband on his left.

After the dishes were served, we digged in. Literally for the two men in the house.

As much as I thought that Natsu only eats like a pig back at his place to piss me off, I didn't know it was hereditary.

"So, do you like your new home?" Grandeeney solemnly asked, she was calm and reserved unlike the other two, I kind of guessed it already that she had grown to these dining sessions with these two, who wouldn't? You married a pig's father, of course you're gonna expect to have a child or two like that with his genes. Though I cannot imagine Wendy having the same eating habit.

"umm, the place is quite dead silent, like has somebody died in there?"

I just need to ask. Because I'm getting goosebumps every time I'm alone.

"mm I think none, it's Natsu's house, he designed it. Unless the lot he bought was a cemetery then I guess you had your answer." she smiled knowingly, giving me a set of goosebumps from imagining a cemetery just below that house.

"Quit it, that lot was barren no one died there. I was still 17 when I passed by that lot

Everyday. Rest assured, only dead dogs who were thrown out there are buried beneath that house."

Seriously, I gawked at how tidy his face was after his bizarre eating habit.

Moving on after lunch, I never saw Natsu nor his father after that. Me and his mom toured down the whole place. I even saw his old bedroom, as a teenager's bedroom, it still has everything he left inside, his mother didn't order taking everything down or throw out, it was reserved for his return. I smiled at his posters, the Dragon Slayers band, with him as a lead singer hung up on his wall, a poster of a late 90's band also. I scanned through his pictures atop his table and some that are hanged on the wall. His pre adolescent appearance was kinda hot too, him in his basketball jersey, with his friends, him with his drum set, a stolen shot of his singing face, him with a boy I think I know somewhere. And a picture of a girl with silver hair, and him with his right arm wrapped around her petite frame. I moved to the other frame, I saw them again, this time the girl had her hands linked with his, next frame had a solo picture of her, silver hair glistened as rays hit it and she had that smile that can melt anyone's heart.

"Even Natsu's heart.."

I mumbled to myself. Grandeeney, noticing that I stopped moving from one frame to the other, stared at the photo I was hooked up on. Then she scanned the frames I passed a while ago. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"hadn't he told you yet?"

"Mmm..not yet" guessing she meant about the girl.

" I shouldn't be the one telling you bits of his past but, you should know that girl is his ex girlfriend." I looked up and noticed how the older woman creased her forehead even from my view, I could see her face with a tinge of sadness, turning back at the photo and the trail of them. Somehow I felt how wrong this scene is.

"Well, we all had a past that never want to discuss about." I turned to face Grandeeney, I smiled at her, reassuring her that I wasn't affected with her small revelation from his past. After all, past is past, never to discuss.

"I just hope he'll open up to you soon so there'd be no secrets any longer." Grandeeney smiled warmly at me, I gave her the response of that same smile. So there are still a lot to discuss from his past then?

We both continued our little tour, through the arcade rooms, the pool indoors, the pavilion and more. But photos from Natsu's past kept on re-entering my mind as if it wants to be discussed later on.

By 5 pm Natsu asked for permission to leave, it was getting dark and he wants to spend dinner at his place, I guess he's done with what he needed here anyway, considering he's been gone for hours with Igneel, I assumed they were discussing with business agendas. I left the wheel chair they gave me even though it was unnecessary from the start and entered the car with slight ease. Natsu did the same, saying the wheel chairs will be for future purposes like when his parents will be needing it soon.

His parents bid us farewell and a smack on Natsu's head. After all that, we let our driver send us to Natsu's place.

Once we came home, I slowly climbed up the stairs and left Natsu in the living room. I know he reasoned out that we'll get dinner here but we both know we eat not at the same time. He glanced at my direction which I obviously noticed, he snickered as I glared at him. Remembering the earlier events that occurred at the same staircase, I huffed and continued my climbing.

Natsu sat on his 'bed' and turned on the tv. I heard him yawn then before I closed the door to my bedroom. Ending my day by spacing out atop my bed, photos began to intrude my mind. I closed my eyes as the image burned at the back of my head. Dinner would be off the table this time, I'm too tired, too preoccupied, too..bothered by a silver haired girl.
