Heat(Natsu x reader)

That's My Girl

You wake up in a strange, unfamiliar room. "Natsu!" you call out hurriedly, worrying about your current location.

"Yeah, are you okay?" he rushes into the room breathlessly, a look of concern on his face.

"Where are we?"

He explains that you've arrived in the town about an hour and a half ago. He couldn't get you to wake up, so he got worried and carried you to the nearest cheap hotel.

"Oh...thanks ." You get up and walk into the room he ever so quickly bolted out of not even 5 minutes before. It was the bathroom. There's a bathtub with hot water and an abundance of scented candles burning all around it.

"Natsu... did you do this for me?"

"Yeah, I hope you like it. I wanted to get your mind of the mission for a bit. Y'know to help you relax a little? Enjoy!" he smiles proudly at you.

You return to bathroom and lock the door. Just undressing relieves a bit of the pressure and weight you feel being put on your shoulders. You've only been in the guild for about 6 days. You slowly sink into the water. The heat washes away all of the stress building up inside you the moment. When you look down, tiny little flames dance across the surface of the water coming in contact with your skin. You can't believe Natsu went through all this trouble.

MEANWHILE......

"I hope (Y/n) likes it..." Natsu whispers to himself.

"You're falling in love with (Y/n), aren't you?"

"What're you ramblin' on about Happy?" Natsu dismisses Happy's conclusion with a flick of the wrist.

"You are, aren't you?! That's why you brought her to Fairy Tail!"

"Shut up!" the salmon-haired boy demands as a harsh blanket of blush begins to cover his face.

BACK IN THE BATHROOM.....

You close your eyes and sink all the way until the water starts to climb up your neck. Your ears pick up the sound of a faint conversation in the other room.

"Shut up!" Natsu yells. You guess he and Happy got into an argument. After about 10 more minutes, You decide that you've been in here long enough. You step out and cling to the side of the tub hoping not to fall. Your eyes scan and search the room for a towel but there aren't any to be seen.

"NAAAAAATSSSSSUUUU!!!!! I NEED A TOWWWWELLLLLL!!!!" You yell in the most obnoxious voice ever.

"Here," he says and hands you one through the door. You reach for it and slightly brush his hand with your fingertips. Blush invades your cheeks turning them an insanely deep shade of pink.

You wrap the towel around your naked body and tuck in the edge at the top. You then open the door hesitantly, fearing the look on Natsu's face when he sees you. Natsu was rummaging through his bag.

"Where are my clothes?" you ask quietly, almost in a whisper. He only points to the bed. When you look over, he had already laid out your outfit. A small smile plays your lips when you realize that it's the one that matches his.

Little did you know, that he wasn't talking because the things Happy said made him nervous around you. "We're gonna go train a little so you can control your attacks better."

You nod and leave after you get dressed. "So, do all dragon slayers have exceeds?"

"I don't think so, but they're cool to have."

You nudge his shoulder and wrap your matching scarf around your neck. You walk to the carriage station to get your ride up the mountain.

"Y'know, when I brought Lucy here, she brought out her celestial clock thing to keep her warm. Are you cold?"

"No, I'm fine." You use your fire to warm yourself up when you're cold, which you're sure he does the same. The blinding white snow starts to hit harder and harder.

"Sorry, kids, I'm gonna have to draw the line here." Natsu hands the driver the jewel for the ride and the three of you continue the steep sloped walk up the mountain.

"Look, Natsu! We're almost at the top!" Happy exclaims. His voice never ceases to cheer you up. You don't know what it is about him. It makes you... well, Happy. (That was cheesy, I know, don't kill me.)

After training for this fight, you're nervous and pumped at the same time. All you know is that you didn't work your butt off to not kick some ass up here. That's what you plan on doing.

The snow starts to pierce into your flesh making tiny marks appear all over your arms and stomach.

"(Y/n), if you're cold just say so. I'll handle them myself and we can split the money."

"No way! I'm gonna fight!"

He sighs and gives a slight chuckle. "That's my girl," he mutters under his breath.

You finally reach the entrance to the cave where the Vulcans lurk.

"We need to find woman!" one of them shouts.

"Me want woman too! Wait!" This sentence is followed by heavy trudging towards the entrance where you wait.

"Found woman!!" the menacing creature bellows. The footsteps of the other giant ape grow closer. The one who discovered you throws himself toward you.

His body is thrust backward. Natsu kicked him as soon as he tried to get you. "Thanks," you breathe out heavily, shocked by the event that just occurred.

"Hey, I said I would always protect you, didn't I?" he smiles. "Now, Fire Dragon Roar!"

"FIRE DRAGON HELL'S RAIN!!!" you command and the bullets of fire shoot from the smoldering clouds. The Vulcans panic and start throwing punches.

"FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!!" Natsu decks both of them in the face. His fighting style is so amazing. The rage inside him drives him to keep going it's absolutely-

"(Y/N)!!!!!!!" Happy calls, voice full of dread. A searing pain spreads from your ribcage throughout the rest of your body. The only thing you can remember is falling to the ground and the snow melting around where you lay.
