Not Your Problem! Natsu X Reader

Ice Ice Baby~

~♥~♡~♥~your POV~♥~♡~♥~
"You alright? You seem kinda out of it" the pink haired man asks me, genuinely concerned. "Huh oh yeah, I'm fine, where are we going again?". He laughs "I didn't say, its a secret" he grins. "Ugghh it better not be lame" I glare at him, "what!? I thought you knew me better than to do something lame" he fakes offense (I think...). "Your so mean, I can't even walk next to you" Natsu pouts and begins to walk onto the road, not looking "wow, your realy that immat-LOOK OUT!!!" I pull him off the road, away from the incoming car. A loud beep is heard and the car zooms past us. "Woh that-that almost hit m-" "WHAT THE FUCK NATSU YOU ALMOST GOT YOURSELF KILLED STOP YOUR IDIOTIC POUTING AND ACTUALY THINK FOR ONCE!!!" He stares at me as I yell, shocked, my hands grabbing his shirt collar. "Y-you just.......GAHHH IDIOT" he wraps his arms around me and I tense up. "I'm sorry...." he says "I didn't mean to scare you...I'll be more careful" I slowly begin to relax, releasing his shirt I wrap my arms around him, returning the hug. "Never scare me like that again" I mutter.

"DAYYUMM NATSU GET SOME!"

A loud female voice interrupts the moment. We look up to see, Cana? I think it was. And a few others staring at us. In a hurry we let go of one another, both slightly blushing. "We heard yelling and came out to see what it was all about, didn't expect to see flame brain and you so close" Grey smirks. "Huh oh uh, it wasn't like that we, uh he oh forget it" I give in. "Anyway here we are" Natsu smiles and gestures to the building to the left of me. "Is this...wait..." I start "yup, were going ice skating" Natsu finally tells me.

"No" I protested "but why?" Complained Natsu. "Because, its been a long time" I haven't gone skating since my mother died, I used to be really good. "Come ooon" he trys pulling me into the rink, having great difficulty. "I....might join you guys later, go on ahead I'll watch for now" he looks at me skeptical, " *sigh* alright but don't just sit there the entire time, I brought you here to have fun" Natsu makes his way onto the ice, he's a little wobbly at first but gets into it quick and ends up racing Grey around the ice rink. Images of me and my mother skating flash through my mind, my eyes begin to tear up but I take a few deep breaths and calm myself down. 'I gotta get back out there....mum wouldent want me to cry about something like this, I should at least see if I can still skate...' Very slowly, I put on the skates I got and make my way to the cold ice. I wobble quite a bit, attempting to regain proper ballance but fall flat on my face. "Ok owww" I hear calls of concern from the others, but wave them off. Soon I have no trouble moving around I'm able to navigate around the ice like I used to. "Wooo go (y/n)!" I hear Natsu yell, others smiling in my direction, in that breif moment I slam into the side of the rink falling onto the ice once more. Sitting up I look to see Natsu coming towards me, concerned. "You alright" he asks, "yeah I'm fine, just takes a bit to get used to the ice" I look up at him and say. He helps me up, almost falling himself. I thank him quietly and skate off. At that moment my favorite song comes on and I can't help but move to the music. Slowly but surely I start doing the tricks I learned and some new ones, earning cheers from everyone. Smiling I let this feeling take over doing whatever and loving being on the ice after so long. "Hey (y/n) race?" Grey has put himself into a good position to race, nodding I take my place becide him, so does Natsu, and so on and do forth, until we are all ready to race.

Ready. Set. Go!! We all take off exept for Lucy, Wendy and another girl with short blue hair, who barely move forward at all (Wendy is accidentally moving backwards....). Soon its just me Natsu and Grey in the front. They if corse start arguing mid-race giving me the opportunity to move past them, Grey however, sees this and trips Natsu to move in front of me. It turns into a cycle of me about to pass him, being blocked by the ravin haied ice skater and getting more and more pissed each time. Eventually I find a gap in his defense and when distracted, I pull into the lead at the last lap and win. Estatic but exhausted I glide to the side of the rink to get off and sit, but am greeted my praise and a hug from Natsu at 'beating that ice cube over there' for him. Grey is a good sport and pats me on the back, complementing my skills.

It really was a good day. I felt genuinely happy, I had fun with...my friends I could smile and be myself. It could only get better from there.
