A dragon needs a … demon (mate): Chapter 2 welcome to your new home!
Last time
"This is the guild hall, your new home" said Natsu to his 3 new friends
Let's continue:
"Master, can you come here, I have someone who wants to join the guild!" said Natsu to Makarov 3-rd master of Fairy Tail
"I see that you brought 3 new members, good job my boy!" said Makarov
"What is your name and where do you want the guild mark?" asked Makarov the 3 kids.
"My name is Mirajane Strauss, you can call me Mira, and I want the guild mark white and on my left thigh" said Mira
"Ok, here you go, Mira!"
"My name is Lissana Strauss and I want the guild mark red on my right arm!"
"Ok, here you go Lissana!"
"My name is Elfman Strauss and I want the guild mark black on my neck!"
"Ok, here you go Elfman!"
"Master, can we go to the library after I make Mira and her siblings a tour?" asked Natsu
"Of course my boy, do as you please!" responded the master
"Ok, thanks gramps!" said Natsu "Let's go Mira"
After the tour
"Let's meet everyone else. Ok, Mira?" asked Natsu.
"Ok!" said Mira
"Hey guys, can you come over here?" asked Natsu everyone who was of his age and they gather there in front of Natsu and his new friends.
"I see there are some new faces, my name is Cana Arbelona and I am a card mage!" said Cana.
"My name is Erza Scarlet and I am a re-equip mage, knight type, nice to meet you!" said Erza.
"My name is Gray Fulbaster and I am an Ice-make mage!" said Gray.
"Ok guys, is our time now: my name is Mirajane Strauss, you can call me Mira, and apparently I am a takeover mage, but I have recently found out that I am a mage and I don't know how to use my magic!" said Mira
"My name is Lissana Strauss Mira-nee's little sister!" said Lissana
"My name is Elfman Strauss, Lissana's older brother and Nee-chan's younger brother" said Elfman
After a while Natsu and Mira left the guild hall and went to the library.
For a month Natsu has been helping Mira control her magic, also he has been secretly helping her siblings in order to surprise her. He was focused on her beautiful face and a flashback hit him.
Flashback
One day after Mira has joined the guild Natsu went to the master's office and asked him: "Gramps what is love?"
"What kind of love do you want to know about, my boy?" asked Macarov after he recovered from his shock.
"The one between a girl and a boy." said Natsu
"Well, my boy, this kind of love is the most beautiful and painful one. To answer your question, you know you found the one you love that way when you always think about her, you want to be with her, to protect her and to love her forever. Why? Have you found someone you love that way?" asked Macarov
"No, I heard a discussion in the park the other day and I wanted to know. That's all." said Natsu lying to the master, but thinking 'So, I am in love with Mira' he thought living the office and went to help Mira.
End of flashback
'One day I will tell you how I feel about you Mira, until then I will help you and I hope that you will feel the same way as I do, but for now I can only say it in my thoughts: Mira I love you' that was what he was thinking.
After finishing helping Mira, who has now in full control over her magic, Natsu went to speak to her and he didn't find her, so he asked Erza: "Erza. do you know where is Mira?" "Yes, she went outside a moment ago." responded Erza "Ok, I will go after her!" said Natsu and went after Mira outside the guild.
"Hey Mira, where are you going?" asked Natsu.
"I am leaving the guild for good, my siblings will be better without Me." said Mira sadly.
"No, they will not be well without you, they love you, everybody here loves you, I love you and all of us want you here with us forever, so please don't go, stay with us" said Natsu with hope and sadness at the same time. He continued after a tear fell from his eyes "Look behind you!" and Mira looked at her siblings who convinced her to stay by showing her that they learnt takeover magic for her and that Natsu was the one who helped them learn to surprise her.
After that Mira decided to stay, but she kept her distance from Natsu.
And no matter what he tried, she didn't let him close to her. This was tearing him apart. When he failed to get closer to her he was devastated, but he would never give up, he would find a way to stay closer to her. And he found one: Lissana liked him and he thought that if he was close to Lissana, somehow he could convince Mira to let him get close to her and build a relationship with her. Then he would confess to her and maybe she would say 'yes'.
As the years went by he was making no progress with Mira and this was killing him inside. Maybe if he would become s-class mage he would have a chance to get close to her, but for that to happen he would have to wait almost one year, but when you have already waited more than 7 years, can one more year matter? (an: he is 18 and Mira is 19). On the other hand, Lissana was getting on his nerves (with her wish to be his wife when he wanted Mira and only her), she was the adoptive mother of Happy, whom they raised together, but even if he would try to love her, he can't, he loved Mira too much to be able to love another girl. But he would do anything for Mira and her siblings just to get her attention. Despite his attempts to get closer to her, nobody has realized his love for the demon of Fairy Tail, not even Happy.
He was at the park and thinking about Mira and then…
