/\/\your POV/\/\
I stared at the boy for a minute, desperately trying to figure out why I knew him from somewhere. Then it hit me. He looks like that one boy I saw when I was running from those chef people.
" hey ". A voice snapped me back to reality. The boy now stood in front of me, our faces only a few inches apart. I stumbled back in surprise, a soft blush appearing on my cheeks. His eyes (not orbs!) met mine and I made a desperate attempt to run away.
My feet failed me and I feel back onto my butt. Lucy glanced over in concern having heard the dull thud. " Natsu!? What did you do?" She glared at him, walking over to help me up. " nothing. I was just wondering why she kept staring at me " he frowned, the blue cat with...wings...padded over to stand next to the boy.
I gave a embarrassed smile and accepted Lucy's hand. Once I was standing again I looked at the boy, nervously rubbing the hem of my shirt. " I-I'm sorry...I just kinda zoned out~ " I stammered, finding it hard to keep my eyes on his face.
I had to admit, he was pretty cute. But I have to remember I'm not here to find a boyfriend, I'm on a mission...
" heh, that's okay. Anyways. I'm Natsu! Who are you?" He grinned, his eyes sparkling slightly. " oh, I'm (y/n)." I smiled and let my gaze drift over the mass of people hanging out in this place.
Lucy started dragging me somewhere, I yelped slightly and choked out a bye to the pink haired boy. He just smiled and waved bye. I looked over at Lucy " where are we going?"
She giggled " to see master of course". I sighed inwardly and let her drag me over to a short old man. I blinked in surprise, surely this couldn't be him. " hello there, you must be (y/n)?" He said kindly.
I just nodded in reply, standing up a bit straighter. "From what Lucy has told me... " he started muttering to himself. I cocked my head slightly, giving me a curious look.
" I will offer you a job, you will be payed for it and you can stay with Lucy if it's okay with her, or with Ursa." He looked up at me.
This just keeps getting better...I nodded firmly " alright, I will accept the job, whatever it may be"
He grinned " great, you can help Mira out for the day then...". " sure " I shrugged, my mind going a mile a minute.This was going great. From this place I should be able to continue my search for my brother. Lucy smiled " she can stay with me if she likes " I just nodded slightly, taking a deep breath and giving her a small smile " thank you so much..."
--------------------------
The next few days had gone by quickly, Lucy introduced me to several of the other guild members and they, thankfully , seemed to like me. The master paid me as promised, so I could now afford some shoes to wear, though that's only temporary since I only need to wear them until My feet heal.
" (Y/n)! " Lucy's voice interrupted my thoughts. A sigh escaped from my slightly parted lips and I sat up from my makeshift bed consisting of a bunch of pillows and blankets. I smoothed out my baggy t-shirt with my hands and stood up.
A familiar face appeared in the doorway, Natsu. I gave a small wave, my legs stiff from laying down for so long. Happy was at his side as usual. " what's up?" I said, stepping out of my 'nest'.
" not much " he stepped inside, his eyes bright. " Master sent us to get you!" Happy flew up past Natsu's shoulder. " oh yeah, I forgot..." Natsu pouted slightly. I nodded and put on my shoes, only wincing slightly. I cant wait until these things finish healing.
I then walked past Natsu, ruffling his hair. He blushed, following me out to the front door. " hey Luce, I'm going to the guild for a bit~ I will be back for dinner!" I grinned and pulled my shoes on.
We both stepped outside after hearing the okay from Lucy. " hey Natsu! Race you there?" I grinned excitedly. " 3...2..." Before I finished counting he took off with a big grin " h-hey! You can't do that!" I chased after him. " too bad!" He replied. I laughed happily and sped up, only a few feet behind him now.
We raced through the town, sending birds flying and people stepping back, their eyes wide in surprise. He was always a foot or two ahead of me. " I see it!" He grinned, pointing to the guild hall. I smiled and followed him up the steps.
The two of us burst through the doors. The noise caused several heads to turn. " I beat you! " Natsu grinned, a slight blush on his cheeks. " I'll get you next time~ " I laughed, gently punching his shoulder. Happy flew in behind us, out of breath. I smiled and looked around for Master.
" where is he?" I wondered out loud, my head tilting slightly. " don't know..." Natsu shrugged, walking over to a table and sitting down. I joined him, dragging Happy behind me. " (Y/n)...".
I heard a voice behind me, it was Master. I turned to face him. He had a very stern look on his face. I cringed. "Y-yes?".
" we need to talk"
