Chapter 4

"Good morning, flame-brain" a black haired guy entered a living room while raising his hand greeting the friend of his.

"Good morning, Natsu-san" the blue haired girl followed her boyfriend as she entered the room after him. Natsu raised his head from what he was doing and looked at them giving them a smile.

"Good morning"

Natsu was lying down on the couch resting his body while he was grabbing some papers scanning them for the work. He woke up in the morning taking the chance of seeing the pink haired boy still sleeping and decided to work on his job and considered it better than sitting and doing nothing. "We heard from Erza-san about the accident, how do you feel now?" Juvia asked worriedly as she sat down on the couch along with her boyfriend while looking at him.

"I had a small accident that's all" that's all he said and then he got along silence from the three when finally Gray decided to talk.

"That's not the only thing we heard" Gray said as he looked at the pink haired who was looking down at his lap. "We heard about Lucy" he said to get another long silence. Natsu drank some of his coffee and then he kept looking at his lap. Gray stared at him then he closed his eyes sighing and moving his face from his direction. He is going to die to know what is really going on or what the hell happened. Neither he nor Juvia, Erza and Jellal knows about what was of the sudden change.

"Yeah" he finally broke the silence while he was staring at the mug of the coffee. Both Gray and Juvia's head snapped towards the salamander surprised of his sudden talk. "They have talked and shared their numbers"

"And..?" Gray lowered his head to stare at Natsu.

"And.. nothing we left and everyone went to their houses" Gray hit his own forehead (Facepalm).

"And I was the idiot that I thought you will finally talk" Gray said looking away at some place in the room. He sighed rubbing his hair and calming himself down. "Anyway, you are not coming in Monday, right?" asked the black haired not paying attention to his blue haired wife who just got her mobile phone from her bag and started chatting with her random friends.

"No I need to go, we have a lot of work, remember?" he glared at Gray.

"I don't care, Erza might kill you if she heard you say that" Natsu ignore him and continued drinking his coffee. After another 15 of chatting with a random talk Gray stood up as he decided to finally leave. Natsu looked at him to find a strange look in his eyes, well both eyes.

"What's wrong? You seem different" he said scanning their faces. Gray and Juvia looked at each faces as they asked themselves in silence. They looked back again to the pink haired not knowing what does he mean.

"I don't know what do you mean, Natsu-san?" Juvia asked as she felt weird talking around him.

"I don't know, you have to see yourselves in the mirror" Natsu smirked. They looked at each other's faces again and blushed. "Huh, I told you" he laughed throwing his head to the back. "Did something happen?"

"You are bastard, how can you possible knows that?" Gray asked blushing furiously.

"I know nothing Gray, this is strategy. You can know what happens around you by only looking at people faces" he smirked again giving them his back. "So..?" he glanced at them.

"I proposed" he said grabbing her hand tightly surprising her and turning Natsu's mouth to O shape.

"You are moving really fast, congratulation" Gray was always shy. When he asked Juvia out, it was 5 years after falling in love with her and a lot of years after meeting her. That's why Natsu told him that he was moving fast because he was really moving faster than he was in the past. Both adults left the salamander's home and he walked to his room standing in the balcony looking at the view of his garden falling in his own world of thoughts again. He returned to the past a lot of years that was in his childhood. He thought if he didn't meet his friends that are with him now what was to happen to him now. He might become a slave for his father and never knew how the worlds work. He wouldn't fell in love and wouldn't get hurt. He shook his head bringing his bangs to the back and getting the thoughts of these things because he decided years ago that he won't regret any of the things that happened because nothing is gonna return to the past. He sighed and stretched his arm looking down at the garden to see the pink haired small kid playing in the swing he brought to him in order not to make him get bored of staying in the home alone. He smiled softly and left the balcony going to him.

"Aren't you going to give daddy a hug?" Natsu smirked looking at his son's back while he was sitting in the swing. Haru snapped his head quickly to the voice's direction giving a toothy grin.

"Daddy!" he ran towards his father giving him a big hug like he didn't see him in years.

"What are you doing alone?" asked Natsu sitting in the swing next to Haru's one as he patted his head. Haru looked at his father with innocent eyes that would make anyone fall in love with his cuteness.

"I woke up searching for you and the Nagi-san told me that you were talking with Gray-san and Juvia-san" he said with his innocent talk as he was snarling his fingers together discussing his talk. Natsu smiled and looked at the pool that was in front of him.

"Hmm" he finally said catching the pink haired little guy's attention. "You seem to be bored, what do you think we should do?" Natsu got silence as a response. "What do you think we go to the amusement park" Natsu those bright eyes and happy look in his son's face and smiled.

"Really?" the son asked. Natsu slowly nodded his head and smiled getting from his son a quickly run towards the villa's door.
