Fateful Flames (A NaLu Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

Beginning Notes:

Hi all! I just wanted to let you know that this is my FIRST Wattpad story, so please excuse any clichés, grammatical errors, and all that other stuff that makes it bleh.

 I do also have this version of Him & Her on Inkitt for those who prefer that platform as well. You can find me under the same username(:

THIS VERSION IS UNEDITED. All authors notes (unless mentioned otherwise) are original to the stories (this may include holidays, school breaks, feedback, etc). 

Thank you for the continued support, old & new!

As of right now, there is NOT a second book. It's been 5 years since this story was created, so I definitely would need to have some serious brainstorming sessions. 

For those who follow the series still (as of 9/18/2021), who is fired up for 100 Years Quest?! I know I am!! 

Grab a tasty beverage, a snack, and enjoy!

[UNEDITED]

Natsu

It all started when I woke up one morning, and for some reason I just felt like it would be a special day. I didn't know what was going to happen, but I felt it. I felt like something big was going to happen! 

Maybe getting to eat food all day? Was there some kind of festival I forgot about? I didn't know.

So deciding to finally get out of bed, I hopped in the shower and ate some breakfast after I got out. You know, the normal routine for me. After that I decided to get dressed in my usual attire that consisted of an open-collared, one-sleeved long overcoat which is tucked in and zipped. My left arm is always covered the sleeve with a leather brown armband while my right arm is exposed. I typically wear white pants and my favorite item of my outfit is my scarf. I constantly have it on, no exceptions. It's very important to me. I also have a brown belt around my waist. Once I fiddled with my brown belt a little, adjusting it to my body correctly, I was ready to go.

I began walking in the streets of Magnolia, a city in the kingdom of Fiore. It was a lively city. Lots of people, reaaaally good food(I would know, I nearly ate an entire restaurant's supply of food), and a lot of things to do. I typically just walk around and go to the little shops sometimes and buy a few random things like food, food, and more food.

After of strolling the inner streets of Magnolia, I found myself in the park near an old water fountain that has a weird looking symbol on it. I never really knew what it was, but whatever.

As I reached into my bag full of food, I pulled out a box of Pocky. Also known as the best thing on Earthland. When my eyesight was locked onto the box of Pocky, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going and bah-bam I walked right into something. Oh, I mean someone.

"Ouch, hey!" A female voice exclaimed. I immediately looked up to see a blonde girl with some fancy dress on. And then I noticed the bodyguards behind her, who had their heads turned towards me. I gulped when one of them let out a weird growl. I wanted to make a run for it, but all of the sudden, my body hits the ground and I feel an extremely strong pair of hands holding me down, and my arms were twisted behind my back.

Did they just pin me down?! That's crazy! They're crazy! I frantically exclaimed in my mind. I struggled under their grip.

"Hey! Let me go! This is crazy, I didn't do anything!" I yelled a little. I glanced around and saw that only a few people were looking my way. There weren't many people around anyways. Just my luck.

"Miss Heartfilia, please step away. We have it under control, we shall protect you."

"But I didn't do anything wrong!" I demanded. I looked up at the girl who I apparently bumped into. She didn't move an inch, she just stared at me in more of a curious way than afraid.

After a minute more, her voice was soft yet confident. "Let him go."

"But Miss Heartfilia--"

"I said let him go. He didn't mean to," her gaze flicked to me and she tilted her head as if now speaking to me, "right?"

"W-Well, yeah. Why would I run into you on purpose?" I raised a brow.

"See? This stranger meant no harm. Now don't make me say it again after this. Let him go."

Both bodyguards hesitantly let me go. I slowly got up, then dusted off the dirt that got on my outfit. I paused and looked up at her. I could see that her brown eyes never moved their gaze off of me. I also noticed that both bodyguards silently returned to her sides.

"Thanks for getting them off of me. Sorry about running into you, I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going." I rubbed the back of my head as I explained. "I was just reaching for Pocky."

"P-Pocky?" She raised an eyebrow, her chocolate brown eyes studying me curiously. "What's a Pocky."

I blinked amazement that she's never heard of them and the fact we are now discussing Pocky after I was just pinned down by two freakishly large bodyguards like it was just yesterday's news.

"Haven't you ever had one?"

"Uhm.." She bit her lip then shook her head. "No."
