(Slight angst but mainly fluff)
This will be an AU where Natsu didn't join the guild and just fights for himself. Gray did join the guild and runs into the mysterious fighter who has been taking down and doing jobs from other guilds including Fairytail. What will happen when they meet..?
Nobody POV
Natsu just finished fighting a wizard who was causing trouble in a city nearby. He was hurt pretty bad but he knew he wasn't going to die. This wouldn't be the first time he was hurt this bad after a fight, in fact, he's been in worse condition so this was nothing. He walked all the way back to the small house he had in the woods pretty far from other people. He walked inside and was met with his best friend, Happy. "Natsu! You're back!" Happy yelled hugging Natsu tightly as soon as he walked through the door. "Hey Happy, how were things while I was gone?" Natsu asked, walking over and sitting on the couch to tend to his wounds. "It was great! Nobody came here and I got lots and lots of fish!" Happy flew over and sat on the table in front of Natsu. "You got hurt pretty badly Natsu..are you okay?" Happy asked with a worried face. Natsu laughed a little and put a hand on his head. "Of course I'm okay! I'm not going down that easily so don't worry little buddy" Happy smiled and they both laughed and treated Natsu's wounds.
Little did they know, someone found their little house in the woods. They watched from afar to see if Natsu was dangerous or not so until they knew for sure they kept their distance. They were on an mission given by the guild master to find out about the mysterious fighter who belonged to no guild. Natsu wasn't hurting anyone but it was still illegal for him to do jobs that were given to the guilds.
(The next day)
Natsu woke up to Happy pushing the front door open and yelling for Natsu to help him. "Natsu! Natsu I need your help!" Natsu woke up quickly and jumped up, running out worried Happy was hurt. When he came out Happy was pointing to a man laying on the ground by their house. Natsu went over and saw that he was hurt really bad and decided to let him stay there. Happy watched, worried they were too late. "He's gonna be fine Happy, his wounds are pretty bad but if we treat them now he should be fine" Natsu said with a reassuring smile.
About 6 hours had past since Natsu treated the man's wounds and let him rest on his couch. The man woke up, sitting up slowly and looking around obviously unfamiliar with his surroundings. "Where am I..?" He mumbled. The man was then met with Happy yelling for Natsu. Natsu came back in the little house he and Happy shared to see the man awake. "Oh you're up" he said walking over to the man. The man moved back a bit from Natsu. "Who are you? What am I doing here?" Natsu looked away and took his jacket off, adjusting his scarf. "Happy found you passed out by my house, you were hurt but I patched you up so you'll live.." He didn't answer and Natsu turned to look at him and sighed. "You got a name?" The man nodded and looked at Natsu. "Gray..Gray Fullbuster, you?" Natsu nodded. "Natsu Dragneel" he said before getting up. "Bathroom is in the door to the left, go shower and don't touch the stitches..I'm assuming you didn't eat so I'm gonna make dinner.." he didn't let Gray respond and just went to the kitchen to start dinner.
Gray for up and walked to the bathroom and took a shower. By the time he came out Natsu was finished cooking. "Heya Gray! Come eat the food is super yummy!" Happy said with a whole fish in his mouth. Gray let out a breathy laugh and walked over to join them at the table. They all enjoyed a lovely meal and stayed up watching movies and just talking. Gray didn't share too much and neither did Natsu but they did learn a little about each other.
