You Mean The World To Me(Fairytail)

1| Living together

Zeref woke up about an hour earlier than Natsu. Before getting up and preparing their breakfast, Zeref spent fifteen minutes watching his little brother's peaceful sleeping face. Taking in the details he never noticed before. Call him creepy, he doesn't care. Natsu's such a pretty boy, he definitely takes after their mother.

Zeref has been living with Natsu for three days now. They haven't been around the guild much lately, the brothers for the past three days have been inseparable. Zeref follows Natsu around, smiling to himself and listening to his brother talk about...well about anything.

Happy wasn't comfortable with the new member in their household, but the blue cat was trying his best. Most of the time he would just fly out of the house and visit Carla and Pantherlily.

Erza and Gray have been avoiding Natsu. But the pink haired dragon slayer couldn't care less, he was sure they'll get over it in a few days.

Sweet Wendy always saw the good in everyone, and was quick to befriend the dark haired Dragneel. She may or may not had been attracted to him a little bit due to his good looks. Lucy had left Natsu and Zeref alone, she didn't want to bother the two's bonding. She found their interactions adorable.

"Well, they've been seperated for a very long time" Lucy laughs to herself. "They deserve this"

Zeref doesn't really want to step foot again in the Guild building. He could tell, despite being an official member, he was not welcomed there. But he didn't care about what thought thought, as long as they don't take him away from his brother.

Getting out of bed-rather reluctantly- Zeref left their shared room and went downstairs to the small kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Opening the fridge, he scavenged for ingredients, any kind of meat and vegetables. Zeref prided himself in being a fantastic cook, and the past three days Natsu has been the one cooking for them. Apparently the only thing he knew how to cook was, pretty much anything fried, grilled, or steamed.

Grabbing a dark red apron, the older Dragneel set to to work.

Half an hour later, Natsu woke up to the most beautiful aroma ever. The smell was so delicious he almost dropped over it. Forcing his eyes to open, he saw the spot where Zeref had been sleeping, right beside him, was empty.

Running downstairs he entered the kitchen and saw his brother preparing a feast for him.

It was a simple breakfast in Zeref's eyes. Being an emperor for years and used to eating fine cuisine.

But for Natsu this was a feast fit for a king! Oh this made him love his brother even more!

"Good morning" Zeref greeted warmly.

"Good morning" Natsu smiled at him, taking a seat opposite the dark haired man. "Uh, what's all this?"

"It's breakfast" Zeref answered with a 'duh' tone in his voice, removing his apron and hanging it. He sat down across from Natsu. The two said a quick 'thank you for the food' before digging in.

Well,  the older Dragneel ate slowly and with dignity. His posture straight and the air around him was of grace and authority.

Meanwhile Natsu was stuffing his face. Drinking water in between chewing so he wouldn't choke. This was the best food he's ever tasted! He might even go so far as to say Zeref was a better chef than Mira or Juvia combined!

"Slow down Natsu" Zeref laughed. "You'll choke"

Obediently Natsu slowed down and started eating normally like a civilized person rather than a caveman with an underdeveloped brain. Feeling a little embarrassed Infront of his older brother. "Sorry about that big brother" Natsu said apologised sheepishly. "It's just that...You're cooking is GOD LIKE! it's fantastic! It's the best! This!" He points at the food. "is the food Gods!"

Zeref smirked. "If you like it so much, I'll cook for you every day, three times a day, anytime you want"

Natsu's eyes widened in shock, before he started to eagerly nod his head. "Thanks! I'd like that a lot!"

It was then that Happy flew through the window saying a cheerful "Good morning!" and landed on the table. "Everything smells so good!" He looked at Natsu. "And I know you couldn't have done this Natsu"

Natsu gave an uproar of anger. "What?! What's that supposed to mean?!"

"The only thing you can cook is anything fried or grilled! And even then, it sometimes ends up getting burnt, or tastes like charcoal" Happy took a bite out of the sausages shaped as octopuses that Zeref made. "Hey Zeref! Will you be cooking for us from now on?"

Zeref nodded. "It makes you both very happy. I will" he smiled with both eyes closed. "Seeing Natsu like this reminds me of our childhood"

This made the pink haired slayer smile. "Well we have all the time in the world. And I don't want to go to the Guild and look for a job yet, so" he took a huge chunk of meat from the roasted duck. "Can you tell me more stories about our childhood? What were our parents like? And what about our old house?"

Zeref smiled as he looked at his most important person lovingly. "Sure, but it's a long story"
