"Happy Birthday Uncle Natsu!" All of the children chorused.

"It isn't my birthday, is it?" Natsu scratched his head.

"Zeref told me" Kaida explained.

"How'd that even come up?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"Oh you know, he was giving one of those psychotic rants that all villains seem to do about their backstory and it just came up" Kaida said as if it was the most normal thing ever.

"Okay" Natsu blinked.

"I am so confused" Lucy muttered.

"Yeah, it was quite the strange talk"

Flashback:

"You don't understand what I've been through" Zeref said, voice full of loathe.

"It doesn't matter! It gives you no right to become the darkest wizard ever!"

"My own brother!" Zeref fought back a tear, "He was taken from me! Killed by a dragon along with my parents!"

"Look, my mother tried to kill me and my adopted brother is Acnologia! I didn't turn evil!"

"I spent years trying to bring my brother back to life! I tried the R-system but gave up on that as it required human sacrifices! I tried the Eclipse Gate, but that too failed! I got kicked out of my magic school because of this and got cursed by the God Ankhseram!" Zeref continued, too caught up in his own rant to hear Kaida, "I eventually gave up reason to keep living! I started to create demons to kill me, but none of them had the power to! I finally created E.N.D, Etherious Natsu Dragneel, my brother finally reborn!"

"I still don't get why you did all of this" Kaida said.

"Don't you see! All I wanted was to be happy with my brother again, yet fate took that away!" Zeref hissed, "I gave him to Igneel, hoping that being trained with dragon slaying powers would get him to be strong enough to defeat me! But what does that silly dragon do?! He takes Natsu away from me! Igneel and the rest of the dragons conspired to send the dragon slayers 400 years into the future! I, of course helped them because they told me that it would be awhile before the kids would be ready! Then what does Igneel do?! He brings them to the Eclipse Gate that very night and sends them off without telling me! I was furious! I waited 400 years to see Natsu again! After 300 I ran into Mavis and taught her and her friends magic!"

"I remember"

"I loved Mavis and taught her Fairy Law, but what does she do?! She went and got herself cursed just like me! She came back to me and we had one night of passion! I woke up the next morning and she was dead! I killed her! I then left and founded the Alvarez Empire and of course the rest is history!"

"I still don't get why you did all of this?"

"Don't you see?! Igneel took Natsu away from me on his birthday!" Zeref shouted.

"Natsu has a birthday?"

"Of course he does!"

"News to me"

"Wow" Lucy exclaimed.

"Yeah, why is it that villains always seem to do this sort of stuff?" Kaida asked.

"Yeah, it does seem kind of cliche at this point" Lucy agreed.

"Even worse, when I walked in he spun around in a chair and was petting a cat!"

"Ugh!" Lucy moaned, "Can't he come up with something original?!"

"I know, right!"

"Guys! Can you stop this?" Natsu shouted.

"Sorry!"

"It's cake time!" Mira called and everyone gathered around.

"Ooh, is that for me?" Natsu asked, the candles reflecting in his eyes.

"Yeah, make a wish" Mira said. Natsu leaned towards the candles and sucked up the fire.

"Natsu, what was that?" Lucy shouted, hitting him on the back of the head.

"What do you mean?"

"You're supposed to blow the candles out, not eat them!"

"Why would I blow them out?! That would be a waste of perfectly good fire!"

Authors Note:

Sorry this was so short, I just was reading a fanfiction in which it was a characters birthday and I thought that Natsu probably wouldn't want to blow it out so here you go!
