Dragneel Brothers

Chapter 6

Next morning

Zeref woke up first early in the morning and sneaked quietly downstairs to make Natsu's favorite breakfast. After cooking for an hour, and waiting patiently for another two hours. A tick mark grew on Zeref's face.
"Okay I know that Natsu sleeps in, but seriously 3 FRICKING HOURS!?"
Zeref finally had enough and stormed his way up to his little brother's room and started to bang on his door.

"Natsu how long do you intend to sleep for!? I cooked your favorite breakfast!"

"..." No response
Zeref began to get a bit nervous, usually Natsu would be throwing a tantrum and making a lot of noise saying.

"Nii-san go away let me sleep."
but nothing, there was no sound, no complaining and no whinging.

"N-Natsu... co-come on... wake up!"

Still nothing
Zeref then went to get to grab a pin and tried to unlock the door. The door clicked open and he rushed inside. The first thing that he noticed was how hot it the room was. He began to sweat immensely.

'Geez why is it so hot in here?' Zeref thought. He then noticed Natsu on his bed, he walked to the bed and shook him but removed his hands as quickly.

"Ouch. It burns!"

"Zeref-nii... I... fe-feel...sick..."
Natsu said trying desperately to get the words out. Zeref rubbed his little brother's pink hair.

"It's okay Natsu... Zeref-nii will look after you until your better okay."
He only nodded his head slowly. Zeref walked downstairs towards the kitchen to grab some water for Natsu.

'Good thing I'm on holiday now' He thought.

He then began to trek back up to Natsu's room to give his water.

"Here Natsu, drink."
Natsu took the glass and greedily drank it all. Zeref's smile slowly vanished.

'This was like mum. She had a normal cold first, then it got worse.' He thought sadly.
Natsu noticed his brother's sad expression on his face.

"ne... nii-san... w-what's wr-wrong...?"
"Nothing... don't talk to much. You'll run out of air."
"Oh sorry... nii-san..."
"No, no don't apologize. It's not your fault. So don't blame yourself."
"Okay nii-san... I'm tired..."

Zeref nodded and soflty kissed his forehead.

"Go to bed Natsu. Goodnight."
"Goodnight...nii-san."

Zeref closed his door, and walked downstairs. He was pacing back and forth in the lounge room.

'What do I do?' He thought
'If Natsu is sick like mum, then I'll lose Natsu in a year... maybe less.'

4 Months Later 

Zeref P.O.V
'He's getting worse' I thought, Natsu has been in his room for the past 4 months, sometimes he would walk around but collapse straight away. I took him to the doctors to see if there is any help at all. However the same answers were.

"I'm terribly sorry, but this disease is unknown to us. He may be able to live for another few months."

I would occasionally try to give Natsu his medicine like mum's, but being Natsu he would be stubborn and always say

"I don't need it nii-san. It's gross!"
