♡°《Seven Years and You're Still a Simp~》°♡

Chapter 10: "Memories."

Green eyes once again opened to the sight of a familiar room. Another infirmary.

But not just any infirmary.

The Fairy Tail guild infirmary.

He was home.

Finally.

Natsu couldn't help but smile to himself, a feeling of warmth diffusing around his chest.

The sluggishness from just waking up let him as a surge of energy coursed through his veins.

He jumped out of the bed, burst through the doors and ran down the corridor. He pushed open the two big doors that led to the terrace that overlooked the main hall of the guild.

"HEY EVERYONE!" He yelled boisterously, his voice full of joy, as he looked down at all his friends below him.

Many heads turned vigorously to look towards him before the crowd of guild members all simultaneously gave a hearty cheer.

Civilians that walked by the guild were not used to the amount of noise that came from the building.

Fairy Tail hadn't been this lively for 7 years.

Natsu jumped down the balcony noticing the dust that flew from below his feet. On slightly closer inspection he noticed how worn out the old guild was.

"Natsu!" The Salamander looked over to a quite familiar teen with black hair and a familiar scarf.

"KID!" Natsu ran in to hug the kid pulling him into a hug bear hug.

"You've grown so much little man!"

"Hahaha." Romeo smiled tears streaming down his face as he finally after seven years got to see the smile he missed so much.

Now that Natsu thought about it, seven years is a long time, a lot can change in seven years.

Not only did the guild look old, but so did the old members, especially those who were older even before the seven-year gap.

"Wait who's been running the Guild in all this time." Gray pitched.

The sound of someone clearing their throat before standing up and walking forward.

"That would be me," Macao said a warm smile on his face.

"How amazing, I'm hoping that you would love to keep the title of Guild master allowing me to retire early." Master Makarov spoke up looking at Macao hopefully, only to be let down when the dark blue-haired man turned down his offer quickly.

The old master could only groan at the thought of having to deal with the damage bill as he did seven years prior.

Soon enough the rest of the Guild was unto date with all that had transpired in the time they weren't around. Makarov soon went to personally deal with the shortcoming that was Twilight Orge trying to bully Fairy Tail which he would never stand for.

But that was an easy fix when you've got Erza Scarlet and Mirajane Strauss, two of the most terrifying women in the whole of Fiore if not the world.

Natsu and Happy left the Guild after an afternoon of celebration. They made their way to their home, but only then did Natsu finally understand the weight of time.

Their house was pretty much in tatters due to the lack of maintenance for seven whole years.

Where on earth was he going to sleep? Usually, Natsu would have a headache but he was too tired.
