Fireball Kick (Natsu Dragneel x Reader)

The Boy Named Natsu

There was nothing special about that day. Everyone was drinking, fighting, and eating just as much as any day in the Fairy Tail guild. You were sitting at a distance, in a corner table all on your own. There was a strange seclusion in observation. An inconsequential experience that can answer question.

Your seclusion is interrupted by the very beautiful Mary Jane. Your cheeks go red as she approaches with a meal for you. A meal she cooked herself with her deft hands.

"Hey, y/n! Hope you enjoy meat and potato soup because that's all we have right now!" She cheerfully calls out to you, the cutest smile on her face.

"Oh!" You were caught off guard, you were lost admiring some off the very admirable bodies at this guild, "well, um, what kind of meat is it?"

"Vulcan meat!" She giggled loudly, covering your face.

She didn't allow you to protest as she laid the soup down with delicate ease. A shiver goes down your spine with how close she gets.

"Here you go," she smiles giddily, "hope you enjoy."

"Oh, of course!" You called out.

Before you can enjoy her sweet, supple presence anymore, she disappears. Back behind the bar where she likes to lay her claim.

But anyways, back to admiring the... show at Faith Tail.

Looking across the guild hall you can see none other than Gray Fullbuster removing another article of clothing. He slinks off his pants almost as easily as his shirt, leaving him on only his boxers. Man, is he making a show of this. His pecs are rippling, almost glistening in the light, oh his decisions arms are majestic and firm, and now his thick thighs are out for the entire guild to see! You can hardly contain yourself, this much hotness is dangerous! You can already feel your lower regions heat up with eager anticipation.

You bite your lip, "oh, Gray... it's like you're presenting yourself to me."

"What was that!?" The startling voice came from behind you.

You whip your head around to see a woman clad in blue. All blue. Her hair, her clothes, her eyes.

But you knew who this was. Of course you did. This was Juvia. The prettiest lady of the sea. And just like the great ocean it's easy to sink into her unforgiving depths.

"What are you staring at Gray-sama for!?" She blurts out, sitting in the chair next to you, scooting closer, "He is for Juvia!"

Oh my, a possessive woman? Yelling at you? You don't know how much more of this you can take. This guild just keeps getting more and more exciting.

"Hey! Juvia! What are you doing?"

That's a familiar voice, a safe voice. You turn your head once more and there stands the Salamander himself with his arms crossed, a blue cat floating beside him.

"This outsider was staring at Gray-sama!" Juvia retorted sharply.

"Hey!" The stranger with the scaly scarf shouted back, "she's not an outsider, I invited her. She's a full fledged member."

Juvia recoiled back, "a-a member?"

"Aye!" The blue cat calls out.

"Yeah," you managed to speak up, then reveal your Fairy Tail mark, "just recently."

"See?" the new stranger folded his arms, "I told you so."

This is no stranger however, you two had met before.

"We met on the docks, in Hargeon," he explained, "she was running scams to poor old people, but her magic sure is cool! So I offered her a membership! Lifetime, baby!"

He gave you a wink and a thumbs up that made your heart flutter and nearly burst. What the hell was wrong with you?

"Ok well," Juvia pouted a bit, "fine then, but just know, love rival, Gray-sama is mine!"

"Um, sure." You mumbled, you were never really the biggest fan of confrontation.

With that, Juvia left, and what replaced her was the mysterious stranger that came to your rescue.

"Natsu," you spoke out with a smile, "thank you."

"No problem," he smiled back, "but if you want to stare at Gray you gotta be more subtle. Like me!"

You snickered, "you? Subtle?"

"Listen, I look at Gray naked all the time and I've never gotten yelled at by Juvia." He raised his hands in defense.

You raised an eyebrow, "wait, what?"

"Nah I'm just kidding," he joked, "I've definitely gotten yelled at by Juvia."

You laughed with him, and then the realization hit, "wait what?"

"Anyways," he quickly moved the subject, "I came over here because Happy and I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?" You had to admit your curiosity was peaked.

Happy, the blue cat, pulls out a piece of paper from his little green pouch. As you analyze it further you see that it's a job request.

"Oh, you guys want me to go on a job with you?" You ask.

"Yeah!" Happy jumps up with excitement.

"Lucy'a out of town on vacation right now," Natsu explained, "and this is a small job just the three of us can get done. And the more money the better, right?"

"Aye!" Happy agreed.

"Well," you cleared you're through, "it's a really nice offer."

Seriously, it was. To get offered to go on a job with the Salamander? You couldn't ask for a better job as a new member. This was a perfect opportunity. Not to mention the idea with hanging around Natsu to get this job done makes your heart ache with excitement.

"So what'll it be?" Natsu asks with eagerness.

You gulped hard, trying not to make eye contact with him, "sure, why not? It'll be fun."

That's all you needed to say to get Natsu Dragneel's heart to melt.
