The Blood Sorceress (Natsu x reader)

Chapter 19: Finally The Games Begin!

Y/n's POV

"I know you'd come," he smiled.

I looked at him in a questioning way.

"You didn't even invite me," I pointed out.

"But you came," he said without a thought, catching me off-guard.

"Whatever, so what brings you here? I'm surprised you even remember this place,"

"Why wouldn't I?" He questioned.

"Well, it has been a long time,"

"Ever since you left, I stayed here when I wanted to be with you. This place reminded me of you. It was as if you were here, so yeah, there was no chance I was forgetting it,"

It was amazing how he could be so serious and say such beautiful words, making my heart beat like wild and grin like a fool as if he didn't just such those words a second before. But I liked that about him. Nothing was so serious. He just lived in the moment, something I wanted so bad. But when you stayed with him, you did, too. You lived in the moment. You instantly forget about the past and the future. The only thing there is, is the present. The present I strived to live in.

"I did try to keep this place while you were away. But I don't do such a good job at it like you do—"

"It's beautiful," I said without a second thought.

He looked at me as his grin appeared again.

"So, I came here to tell you that I would be participating the games. I'm shocked that Gramps didn't choose you, probably cause you weren't there. Anyways, Gray, Erza, Lucy, Wendy and Elfman were chosen. Elfman being the substitute. I'm pretty fired up for it, to be honest. I'm sorry for going missing the past few days..."

And he went to explain everything. I sat on the bench he was sitting earlier on as he accompanied me, sitting beside me. We talked for hours and soon we headed to my home as he was hungry. I mean like, when is he not? I cooked some dinner for him, me and Joy, who slept soon after that. I had made up with Joy, too.

I offered him the sofa to sleep on since it was late. But since he is "Natsu", he decided to climb on the bed when I was fast asleep. But somehow, I didn't mind it.

Few days later~

To Crocus~

I walked on the busy street. It was so lively. I couldn't help but want to spend a bit though I was a bit behind on money.

Joy had bought many cute dresses in her size. They were so adorable. I bought some swords and cute shorts and shirts I could find. I spent a lot on crop tops and colorful clothes. I wanted to change my style from gothic to a bit to the bright side. You know, others colors than black. My style had completely transformed since I was back.

You could say from what I was wearing currently, a white crop top and black plaid skirt with a flannel shirt and a pastel blue backpack. I was wearing white converse and a cute necklace with small rings on my finger. The skirt I was wearing was still a bit goth style with its asymmetric tartan pleated layer, over black fabric with two riveted ring straps and an oversized safety pin. It looked pretty killer to be honest. I was also wearing long black songs, reaching my thigh. The outfit was literally bomb in my opinion.

I was getting recognized a lot since my photoshoot with Sorcerer's Weekly. I was literally the new hot topic. People were complementing on my natural beauty as I wasn't using any makeup only a light eyeshadow and lip gloss. I was getting complimented on my outfit as well. I was getting asked if I was there for the games which I nodded at, getting excitement from their side.

After getting past it a bit, I noticed another crowd, I didn't wanna be the center of attention anymore so I decided to silently walk away but I heard a familiar voice, stopping me from my tracks. This idiot!

Sting's POV

"You are pathetic. You don't stand chance against us. You are just a first dragon slayer. Your time has gone, now it's the new era—" But I was caught off by seeing a familiar face. The face I only saw on magazines.

"Natsu, what are you doing here?" she said, without a second glance towards us.

"These guys were beating a guy and I saved him and they started badmouthing me and FairyTail. I'm gonna make them pay," he said, walking towards us, pulling me through my sleeve.

But I was too busy looking at her as she rolled her eyes.

"Natsu, that's enough. You can prove whatever you want in the games. Now, let's go," she said, pulling him.

"Y/n!" he whined, struggling to get out from her grip. Just then, the crowd surrounding us went wild as they recognized the beauty, much to her dismay. I, like a fool, just stood there, watching her every move. She was actually pretty in real life. Her smile was the prettiest. The way she was talking to her fans who idolized her even though she just wanted to get the hell out was beautiful.

"Let's go, Sting," Rogue finally said. Though I didn't want to, I nodded. See you again, princess.

On the day of the GMG~

Natsu's POV

I looked at the audience where our whole guild was, cheering for us, the only person I wanted was not there; Y/n. The announcer was about to announce the guild or team that placed second. I looked over as the whole audience went silent. There was confusion in the air. That's when I saw Mira and others.

Soon, after the announcer cleared the confusion, the crowd erupted in cheers and Y/n finally was seen behind the big, muscular Laxus. I saw her slightly blush. She was shy. I chuckled. She was looking so pretty in her light blue crop tops and white shorts. She had her hair in a pony tail with a bandana. She was wearing white sneakers. She was pretty cute earrings on her ear. She probably got new ear piercings.

Her eyes finally drifted to mine but only for a second as she hugged Mira shyly. I looked over to the crowd to see heart shape in their eyes. Y/n looked different, she felt awkward. She never really rose up to a crowd and now seeing so many people cheer for her, she will surely feel shy.

I felt Lucy roll her eyes behind me. What's her problem?

My thoughts were then drifted to the team that got first place. Sabertooth. I felt Y/n's eyes on me as they were soon torn off towards the guild making their way on the arena. I could see Sting smirking as he noticed Y/n's gaze on him, winking at her. He winked at her? Who does he think he is? Some superstar? I'll show him his place. That jerk!

Hope you liked the chapter!
