Me No Own Fairy Tail

The Attic's Little Secret—

Throwing Rocks at Loke

The attic seemed cold to him, but he didn't seem to care as he sat in the middle of the darkened space. Multicolored eyes scanned the room, sometimes stopping at familiar objects and recalling wisps of memories that would surface only to flutter away from his consciousness again.

A few moments looking at the dog cage: a pink haired little boy picked at the lock with a stray nail and piece of glass he had taken, the lock opening within moments of starting, a triumphant smile.

A heartbeat of a second his eyes looked at the operating-like table: a man stood with black hair and needles, the pink haired boy being strapped to the table as he murmured silently to himself.

Barely a look to the file cabinet: The man takes out files and hands them to the pink haired boy who glances at them and already knows the content without ever actually reading or seeing the file before in his life.

The room was full with memories his mind seemed to not want to hold onto, but he didn't care. It didn't matter at all, because memories don't seem all that important to him anyway. They were in the past, and he no longer lived in the past, he never did. He was living in right now, he rather stay in the present than live in the past, and having memories of things he couldn't remember correctly didn't seem like they mattered to much to him anyway. Living in the now though, mattered the most.

He was brought out of his runaway thoughts when he heard faint yelling downstairs, his eyes flickering to the attic door for a few brief moments before he deemed it not important to him and resumed his random looking about of the room. When the yelling didn't cease, he began to grow curious, but did nothing to satisfy his curiosity. He briefly remembered the blonde—Lucy—saying something about "Curiosity killed the cat," but then again the ginger—Loke—followed with "But satisfaction brought it back." He didn't know what any of that really meant, but he figured it had something about cat's being curious (he barely even knew what a cat was in the first place, so that made the whole thing even more confusing to him than what it should be) and the curiosity killing whatever it was, only for some reason satisfaction to bring it back. Just thinking about it made his head hurt and the yelling to get closer to him.

"Natsu!" Oh, they were calling for him the whole time.

"Where is he?" he heard the voice of the red head—Erza—ask in exasperation. A soft sigh.

"Don't know. He disappears randomly, doesn't he?" The blonde, Lucy, said.

"Well, wherever he is, he better hurry up. This cat doesn't want to be held much longer." That voice belonged to the raven—Gray. Gray scared him. He yelled at him and made him cry. He made him feel guilty and he didn't like that. Gray was scary, he wasn't sure he liked him very much. But, wait. He said something about a cat. Why would scary Gray have a cat? Was the cat curious and died only for that thing called satisfaction to bring it back? But, then why would Gray keep it? What even was a cat in the first place?

The questions flew about his head at a mile-per-minute that he didn't hear the voices get closer until they were in front of the door. When they were closer than before, he snapped out of his mussing and quickly ran to a small crevice in the attic he often hid in, his feet light and barely even making a noise on the old wooden floor. He peered back at the door from the darkness of the crevice as it opened to reveal the people who he just met yesterday.

"Maybe he's in here?" Loke asked as he surveyed the room, only to furrow his eyebrows up in confusion. "Or maybe not." He scratched his ginger hair as the others looked over his shoulder. "Where could that guy go? We searched literally everywhere! Where else would he hide?" Lucy looked up at him in amusement.

"He has lived in this house his whole life, he might've found a hiding place or something along the way." she mused. She placed a hand on her hip and looked around. "I guess we have to wait for him to come out on his own." She looked over at Gray who was struggling with holding the cat. "You can let it go, you know. Let it wonder." Gray sighed and set the blue cat down begrudgingly.

"I guess, I kinda wanted to see the look on his face though." he muttered in disappointment as they left, forgetting to close the door. Natsu stayed where he was, watching them with his multicolored eyes until he heard a soft noise in front of him, startling him and making him fall backwards as he stared at the blue creature before him. It was small and had a long tail with eyes that seemed to radiate happiness.

Natsu didn't know what to think of it as it rubbed itself against his leg and made a strange rumbling noise from its throat, but he stayed still and watched it carefully. When he deemed whatever it was safe, he sat up and cautiously put his hand out in front of him, the creature sniffing it with a tiny wet nose only to push his hand on top of its head and looking up at him expectantly. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, not knowing what it wanted, taking his hand away only to be met with a disappointed noise coming from it so he raised it again and placed it on top of its head, the creature now rubbing against it. Somewhat understanding what it wanted, he started to stroke the fur, the creature lying down and making the weird rumbling sound again.

"What's your name?" he asked it, but the creature didn't even look up at him, only curling against his leg as he continued to stroke it. "Can you speak?" Nothing but the rumbling sound. "Okay. My name's Natsu-chan. What should I call you?" Nothing. "Should I choose to call you something?" Still nothing. "Okay, Natsu-chan will call you Happy, do you like that?" The creature blinked up at him, but didn't look like it was complaining. "You seem happy and I never got to choose what to call something before."

He smiled childishly. "Ne, Happy-chan, what are you?" Happy closed his eyes, not responding to Natsu and making him pout. "Fine, I'll ask the blonde… Lucy…" He hesitated on saying her name, but shook his head as he stood up, walking silently to the open door. He turned around to see that the creature wasn't following, furrowing his eyebrows once more. "Well, come on Happy-chan, Natsu-chan wants to see what you are." The creature didn't move, making Natsu frown and walk over to it. "Do your legs not work?" No answer. "Are they broken?" Nada. "Would you like Natsu-chan to carry you?" Zip. "Okay, I'll carry you." The pinkette bent down at the waist and gently picked up the small creature, putting it on top of his head where it curled up and went to sleep. Natsu gave a small triumphant smile as he then began to walk to where he guessed the strange group of people were: the kitchen.

He silently made his way downstairs, but instead of hearing them from where he expected them to be, he heard them in the sitting room talking, so he made his way to their voices, standing silently in the door way.

"I can't believe it's raining!" Lucy whined as she let her head fall on the back of her chair, groaning loudly. Erza rolled her eyes at her friend, finding her boredom amusing.

"We could always play a board game, you know? I brought a few." Gray perked up.

"Like what?"

"Candy Land, Scrabble, Mouse Trap, Monopoly—" Gray cut her off instantly.

"And ruin our friendship? No, thank you. Last time I played that Monopoly I ended up breaking up with my girlfriend and not talking to my brother for two months." he said, crossing his arms across his chest and leaning back. Erza glared at him, Gray trying his best to ignore it.

"Hey, how 'bout we calm down before Erza kills us? Okay?" Loke reasoned, only to pause as he caught sight of Natsu standing there silently in the doorway with Happy on top of his head.

"Oh, Natsu! There you are! I can also see you found the cat." he smiled, Natsu walking shyly into the room with a few steps, but remained standing. Everyone perked up at hearing this, looking towards the multi-colored eyed teen, curiously.

"Cat?" he asked, tilting his head. "This is Happy." He pointed towards the blue creature on top of his head that slept peacefully on the pink locks. Erza looked confused.

"No… that's a cat…"

"No, this is Happy."

"A cat…"

"Happy."

"Cat."

"Happy."

"Natsu, what is on your head at this very moment in time, is in fact a full blooded, if not, weird colored cat." Natsu shook his head.

"No, this is Happy." Erza sighed in frustration, giving up as she threw her hands up in the air and leaned back, giving the teen a glare.

"Fine, that's Happy." she resigned, blowing a strand of hair out of her face as she did so.

"I found him," Gray cut in, Natsu's attention going to him as the raven looked proud of himself. "He was all alone meowing in a cold alleyway until I found him!" He jutted out his chin and chest, a small proud smirk on his face as he awaited Natsu's reaction and undying thanks.

"He also got you some new clothing Nat," Lucy perked up, holding up a bag full of clothes. Natsu tilted his head at the new name, eyebrows furrowing together as he mouthed the nickname to himself a few times before he voiced it.

"Nat?" he voiced in uncertainty. Lucy laughed a little, eyes crinkling up at the ends in mirth.

"Yeah, Nat." she said in amusement. "A shorter version of your name. Do you like it?" Lucy asked. Natsu continued mouthing the nickname silently, eyebrows furrowed and multi-colored eyes concentrated fully on it before he shrugged, actually somewhat pleased with the name, but he seemed too shy to admit it as he looked away with a small blush. Loke took this as his cue to stand up and grab the bag full of cloths and thrust them into Natsu's arms, Happy almost falling off his head as he did so.

"Anyway, why don't you go change, huh? It might be a little more comfortable getting to wear something that fits and all instead of Gray's smelly and baggy clothes." Loke suggested, turning Natsu around abruptly and pushing him out to the nearest bathroom before the young teen could protest. "And Daddy Loke can help you if Baby Natsu can't figure out how to put his shirt on. And if you're extra nice, maybe Mommy Lucy can make you some cookies so me and Mommy Lucy can have some fun-fun time." Loke looked over his shoulder at Lucy, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively, only to get a face full of a hard fancy pillow, well, make that a face full of two hard fancy pillows.

"Not even in your dreams you perv!" she shouted after them, face red in embarrassment as Gray and Erza tried to stifle their laughter behind their hands. Lucy leaned back with a 'humph' and crossed her arms in front of her, cheeks still red as a tomato as Loke and Natsu turned the corner.

"So," Erza started, quick to change the subject. "Natsu seems to like Happy a lot, wouldn't you say so yourself, Gray?" the scarlet haired teen turned to face him as his proud smirk came once again.

"Of course he does. I mean, he got it from me! Who wouldn't want a cat from me?" he asked sarcastically.

"If you gave a cat to Juvia, she would think it's a marriage proposal." Lucy commented, the proud smirk instantly dropping from Gray's face at the mention of his stalker.

"Remind me to never give her anything, not even a pencil." he muttered under his breath as the girls both shared a short laugh at his annoyance.

"Natsu! You don't put your head threw the arm hole! No! That's the other arm hole! It's the middle hole! Natsu!" They instantly stopped talking as they heard Loke's scream and a few whines from Natsu along with two thumps and an 'ow!'

"Geez, what's going on in there?" Gray asked.

"Natsu, you don't drape the shirt on your head and call it good! You actually put it on for Christ's sake! No, no! No! You poor child, shorts aren't substitutes for shirts when we get frustrated because they only have two holes, not one. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU TRY TO RIP ANOTHER WHOLE IN THEM! NATSU FOR HEAVENS SAKE JUST SIT DOWN FOR A MOMENT AND—YOUR HEAD WON'T GO THROUGH LIKE THAT! CHILD, CALM! CALM YO FACE CHILD AND LET ME DO THIS! NATSU!" Gray blinked at the continued screaming, standing up.

"I'm just… I'm just gunna go help them..." he said awkwardly, only to freeze from more loud childish whines from Natsu and screaming from Loke.

"CHILD, WHEN WE CAN'T PUT SHIRTS ON OR SHORTS OVER OUR HEAD, WHICH THEY DO NOT BELONG, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT UNDERWEAR IS A SHIRT EITHER! NO—NATSU GET BACK HERE! YOU ONLY HAVE YOUR UNDERWEAR ON! NATSU YOU INSOLENT CHILD! GET BACK HERE!" Loke screeched followed by a slamming door and running of feet as the two entered the room the three occupied, Natsu running away from Loke in just his underpants as the ginger teen was holding out one of the shirts Gray got Natsu with frustration on his face. "GODDAMIT CHILD! GET YOUR PINK HAIRED ASS OVER HERE! NO! DON'T JUMP OUT THE WINDOW—HE FUCKING JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW!" Gray, Erza, and Lucy could only watch in shock as Natsu proceeded to punch the living room window, spreading shards of glass everywhere, and proceed to jump out of it. "CHILD!" Loke continued to yell as he jumped out the same window and chased Natsu in the raining yard. After a few moments of hearing distant yelling and distant whining yelling, Happy walked on in with a confused look on his cat features.

"Um… Why is it so difficult getting him into clothing now then it was earlier?" Lucy asked as the three of them migrated to the broken window to watch Natsu and Loke running through the yard as it rained on them harshly.

"That, Lucy, is a question only God can answer now." Erza replied, all three wincing when Natsu had started to pick up rocks and throw them at Loke, one landing painfully on his foot.

"I'll go get the ice." Gray muttered sympathetically, turning around to fetch said item.

"While you're at it, get some Advil!" Lucy called after a rock hit Loke on the forehead and he fell, only to get up a second later with his screaming at a new and higher octave.

~An Hour and a Few Advil Later~

"So, what you're telling me, you're telling me that all I had to do to get him to put on his shirt was to bribe him with Erza's phone? That's all?" Loke asked with only one eye opened as he had an icepack over his eyebrow on his right eye. In front of him clad in an orange shirt with a yellow smiley face sticking out its tongue and winking along with cargo shorts was said teen that had thrown rocks at him not only thirty minutes earlier. He was so engrossed in the red cell phone before him, playing a game Erza had set on it with rapt attention as Happy dozed off on his lap that he didn't even hear the conversation going on around him.

"Well, he seemed so into it this morning, so it kinda looked like the best thing to bribe him with." Lucy said with a shrug as she dabbed with a cotton ball at the few cuts on Loke with alcohol, the ginger wincing in pain with each dab.

"Now we know how to get him to do stuff in the future without having him throw rocks at us like Fred Flintstone." Gray commented as he sat down with a glass of apple juice, giving another to Natsu who didn't seem to notice.

"We still need to get him some shoes." Erza muttered as she watched the multi-colored eyes flicker constantly as he played his game. "We'll have to bring him into town tomorrow to have him sized." she commented, Loke's eyes widening.

"And have the kid throw rocks at everyone who tries to put a shoe on his feet? I'll like to not go to jail, thank you very much!" he huffed, Lucy rolling her eyes at him.

"Have him play on Erza's phone the whole time and he won't care." she said as she finished dabbing at the last cut and started to apply the Hello Kitty Band-Aids. "While we're out we can also go out and have some lunch, maybe go to the mall and show the kid the real world." She froze, a Band-Aid a milliliter away from Loke's skin. "I wonder how he'll act in public." she said as she placed it on firmly.

"That would be something to watch, wouldn't it?" Gray commented with a lazy grin.

"You got that right, but let's please make sure there are no rocks within the next twenty mile radius of the kid, I'm already battered up enough as it is." Loke groaned as Lucy placed the finishing Hello Kitty Band-Aid on him, Loke setting his arms on the table and resting his head in them.

"You got that right." Gray huffed with amusement.
