Our Bond (Natsu x Reader) (Sequel to The Way to a Dragon's Heart)

Chapter 4

(3rd PoV)
"Don't you dare say that again Natsu!" (Y/N) said sternly.

Natsu was taken aback from (Y/N)'s tone of voice.

"But-"

"No. Don't blame yourself for anything that happened in the last few hours."

"(Y/N)-"

"You had no control over what was gonna happen. You were on an important job, so you couldn't have known what was happening. No one knew that Saria was bad. No one knew that she was going to attack us. But we stopped her. You stopped her from taking away my Dragon Slaying magic.

I couldn't be more grateful for you saving me back there." (Y/N) said with a sincere smile as she grabbed Natsu's hand.

Natsu smiled slightly and squeezed (Y/N)'s hand. "Now get me out of here. I hate feeling useless right now." (Y/N) said as she swung her legs over the bed.

Natsu nodded and helped (Y/N) stand up. With his arms around (Y/N)'s waist, he opened the door and stepped out of the infirmary with (Y/N).

(Your PoV)
"(Y/N)!"

I grinned as I heard everyone in the guild cheer.

"Mom!" I looked around until I saw and felt Zach hug me tightly.

"Careful Zach, don't hug your mom too tight." Natsu said.

Zach immediately let go and looked at me, "How are you feeling?"

I ruffled his hair and smiled, "Thanks to you, I feel great."

Zach grinned as he stepped away from me and let everyone else hug me.

-—-—-

"Were you the only one who woke up?" Gray asked. We, as in Natsu, Rini, Zach, and I, were sitting at a table talking.

I nodded. "Yeah but they all should wake up in a few days. I would use my Elemental Dragon healing magic, but Mr. Over-Protective here, won't let me. I said with a frown as I gestured to Natsu, who was sitting next to me.

"You just woke up (Y/N). You need to completely heal and gain back your magic energy." Natsu said sternly. I rolled my eyes and gave Gray a 'see?' look.

"I hate to say this, I really do, but Natsu's right. (Y/N), you need to take care of yourself, before you take care of other people." Gray said, making me roll my eyes again.

I raised my hands up in surrender, "Fine fine, stop lecturing me. But if I'm completely healed and none of them have woken up, I will use my magic."

I saw Gray, Natsu, and Zach glance at each other. "Mom.." Zach began.

I groaned and sunk down in my seat, "Not you too. I'm your mom, I should be worrying about you. Not the other way around."

"(Y/N), you made all of us worry about you. You have to be less reckless." Mira said softly.

'Less reckless? Oh you're so funny Mira.'

"That's kinda hard, Mira. I spend all of my time around reckless people. Here at the guild and at home." I said with a cheeky smile.

"Hey!" Natsu and Zach yelled out.

"But I am sorry for making you all worry and I'm sure they all feel the same." I said as I gestured to the infirmary.

Master Makarov nodded, "Now, go home and rest more, child. You need to gain your energy and strength back."

I nodded and Natsu, Zach, Rini, and I left.

"Dad! Rini is burping fire again!" Zach yelled from Rini's room.

"Again?" Natsu called out from the living room. "Wait.. Rini is burping fire?" (Y/N) asked with wide eyes. Natsu smiled sheepishly at her while nodding.

(Y/N) quickly stood up and ran upstairs to Rini's room, leaving Natsu.

'How does she have that much energy already?' Natsu thought as he stood up and followed (Y/N).

-—-

"Why didn't you tell me that she could eat fire too?!" (Y/N) exclaimed as she moved Rini away from the candle that she just ate the fire from.

Zach and Natsu shrugged, causing (Y/N) to roll her eyes and Rini to giggle.

"She's learning magic! My magic!" Natsu said excitedly as he danced around the room. Zach laughed at his dad while (Y/N) just shook her head as she smiled.

"C'mon, let's go eat some dinner. I made rice balls and (Favorite meal)." (Y/N) said. They all nodded and headed downstairs.

-—-—-

"Goodnight Mom. Goodnight Dad." Zach said as (Y/N) kissed his forehead and Natsu ruffled his hair. "Goodnight." They both said in unison. They left Zach's room and went into their own, closing the door behind them.

-—-

"Natsu?"

"Hm?"

"..Were you worried about me?"

Natsu stopped what he was doing, which was pulling back the covers of the bed, and looked at (Y/N), who was looking out the window.

"Of course I was worried about you, (Y/N). Why would you even ask that?" He asked as he went behind (Y/N) and wrapped his arms around her waist.

(Y/N) shrugged and glanced at Natsu, "I don't know.. But I'm sorry for making you worry.."

Natsu tightened his grip around (Y/N)'s waist and placed his head on her shoulder. "It's alright. You just have to be more careful because you could have gotten even more hurt. You could've died.. If you did, I don't know how I would survive again.. I barely survived the first few times you supposedly died.." He said quietly.

(Y/N) turned around in Natsu's arms so that she was facing him. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace. "I'm sorry Natsu.. I really am.." (Y/N) whispered, causing Natsu to nuzzle his face into her neck.

"(Y/N).."

"Hm?"

"I love you."
