Forever Mine || NALU

3. "mister dragon"

Natsu Dragneel

Usually everyone and everything that comes across the sight of me runs in horror, or id probably burn their bodies to a crisp, but this little girl was neither scared or crispy. Rather than that, her tiny little palms were covering my mouth, yet nibbling on me hair.

"Kid, what the fu--"

"I said shush!" she exclaimed again, parting away from my pink strands to scold me, yet going back for more flamey tips. "Were both hiding from uncle James right! So let's keep quiet until he finds us!" she yelled in a whisper tone.

I wasn't exactly hiding from him, but I sure as hell wasn't trying to get caught. Even though I knew I could take him.

"Uncle James always cheats! I find an amazing hiding spot, and when he can't find me he always tries to back out of hide and seek. That little sleaze!" She began to munch a little to aggressively on my hair, showing her tiny frustration, which was kind of weird that she was slurping down my flames.

As far as I knew, I was the only one who could eat flames, and I sure as hell have never heard of anyone eating mine.

MUNCH

I could feel a small fangs digging up on my scalp, causing me to cry out a little yelp. "Ow! You little shi--"

"Hey! Mommy said we can't say bad words!" she scolded me, earning a small kick to the face from this small petite little girl.

Why the hell did she kick me?

And why did that hurt?

And why did that kick just feel so familiar, just now?

AND WHY IS SHE STILL CHOMPING ON MY HAIR?

"Quit it, you little--" I grabbed her torso and pried the little girl away from my head.

She giggled and wiped her mouth, as if she just ate a hearty meal, followed with a small burp. "Oh, oops! Sorry mister, your hair is just so delicious!"

I raised a brow at her, "look little girl, I dont have time to play--"

"Oh im sorry, my name is Nashi!" she introduced with a small curtsy, extending her hand for me to shake. "What's your mister dragon?"

"Mister dragon? No-- my name is Natsu--"

"OOOO we kinda have the same name!" she jumped in joy, "say, you copying me, mister Natsu?"

"I was born before you, little girl!"

"It's Nashi!"

"I don't care." I rolled my eyes, earning another small kick from the girl, this time in the stomach.

"Hey! Mommy said to always be nice to people and they'll be nice to you!"

"IS YOUR MOMMY TEACHING YOU HOW TO KICK STRANGERS OR SOMETHING?!"

She shrugged, "no but she always kicks her friends."

I stared at her in disbelief, "your mommy sounds like a bi--"

"Nashi!!!" a voice called out for the little girl, perking both of our ears up to the sound of a familiar woman. "Enough hide and seek baby, uncle James needs to rest!"

My eyes widened at the voice that was calling out to her daughter, as my head peeked behind the bushes to stare at the door to reveal a lady with blonde hair and brown eyes.

I could feel a stab in my heart as I laid my eyes to stare at her brown orbs. My jaw open in awe as I watched her stand on her tippy toes, looking around for the little girl next to me.
