The Past Will Come To Hunt You Down

The New Year

After Christmas had passed, the new year quickly followed after. Y/n knew she would have to leave Natsu soon and take the little version of him with her. He had seemed so happy having her and that little version of himself by his side, y/n felt guilty she would have to take everything from him so suddenly now.

The date was set in three days. So she thought it would be the best to ask Natsu if the little one could sleep with her that night. So, with her plan all set up, she walked towards Natsu's house. She rang the door and Natsu opened with the little one on his arm, head buried in his neck. "Hey y/n. Come in. Little me is a little sick but he's gonna be okay. Sit down.", Natsu said and sat down on the couch, placing little Natsu in his lap. He snuggled into his chest and said "You're warm Natsu-nii.", Natsu felt his forehead and frowned before putting a blanket over the little version of himself.

As little Natsu fell asleep on Natsu's chest, y/n started talking. "If he's feeling better, could he stay the night with me Wednesday?".
"That's the day you're leaving, right?", Natsu asked and y/n nodded sadly. "Can you at least do me a favor and stay both with me before you leave. I wanna be with the both of you until you leave and hold you both in my arms.", Natsu asked.
"Uh. Sure.", y/n said. "Just let me get some stuff from my house and I'll be here in half an hour.". Natsu grinned upon hearing this and hugged the Girl "Thank you."

Y/n pulled Natsu's lips down on hers and kissed him. When she let get  of his Scarf and his head went back up she said "We can at least do it right then, no?". Natsu smiled and pressed his lips back on hers in a sweet kiss. "Yeah..."

y/n escaped from Natsu's grip and went to her house to pack some stuff. She had three days. Three days to make Natsu happy.

When she returned to Natsu's house, she found Natsu trying to feed the little version of himself something she recognized as Fever reducer. "Is it that bad?", she asked Natsu who only nodded as he went back to trying to get the little Natsu take the spoon of Fever reducer "Come on. It can't be that bad.", Natsu reassured him and finally got him to open up his mouth to take the Fever reducer. "So. Now you'll feel better in no time.", Natsu told him and the little one groaned at the taste "How about I get you some warm milk to flush away the bad taste?", Natsu asked him and he nodded. Then Natsu disappeared into the kitchen to fix his milk and he asked y/n "Are you and Natsu-nii a mated couple now?". Y/n blushed at the thought. Being a mated couple meant you had had sex with a dragon slayer. And as far as she knew; she hadn't had sex with Natsu. Yet...
"No. We aren't.", she answered truthfully.

Natsu had heard their whole conversation from the kitchen and thought 'Not yet y/n. Not yet.'

The day passed pretty quickly now they had to take care of the little Natsu. He had something like flu. A high fever, stomach aches, nauseous feeling.
"You're sure you are okay with sleeping on the couch like this little one? You can sleep with us if you want to, you know.", Natsu asked him; the little Natsu had insisted on sleeping on the couch whilst he still felt sick like this so he wouldn't wake up Natsu and y/n if he had to use the bathroom at night. And partly because he knew that now the big Natsu had finally 'formed a couple' with y/n, he would want to mark her as his mate before she left as soon as possible. "I'll be fine here Natsu-nii. By the way, you should probably make work of making y/n your mate before she leaves.", the little Natsu said and Natsu was honestly taken back a bit by the way the younger version of him talked. Had he known that much about this on that age too?

"You shouldn't talk like that little one. Either way, if you need anything, don't hesitate to knock on the door, okay?", Natsu told him.
"Sure.", the little version of him responded and closed his eyes to sleep. Natsu stroked his hair to the side of his face and kissed the little Natsu's forehead. It was still a bit hotter than it should be but the Fever reducer was doing its job.

He walked into the bedroom where y/n was waiting for him and Natsu scratched the back of his head "Can I ask something really selfish?", Natsu asked and y/n nodded. "C-Could you be my first?
