Her Own Tale → Natsu Dragneel

4. Her decision

He stared at the view in front of him with bewilderment, "She knows my name." He said to himself absentmindedly smiling.

He scratch his face, and laughed. He can't believe that the Princess knows his name.

They've been secretly friends for a long time and didn't shared their names.

But he knew hers, obviously.

After returning the mirror to his master, he decided to have a fresh air on the roof.

(Y/n) was locked up on the tower since she was ten. He often asked his master about (Y/n) and why she's locked up but when he opens up that subject, his master often go on a ferocious rampage and punish him till he bleed, so he decided to be mum.

He sighed in content, remembering the moment when she said his name.

The way she spoke made him feel like he's the luckiest person on Earth.

"See you later, Natsu."
He was rendered speechless, eyes widening due to shock and happiness.

He spun his heels aroung and saw the girl named (Y/n) smiling goofily at him. "How did you, know my name?" He asked stuttering. There goes his heart again.

"That's a secret. Now go on Natsu, before Liana gets back."

Oh damn, He loves to hear his name rolled off her tongue, it sounds so perfect.

He didn't know that he was smiling unconsciously, looking like a freaking retard in front of the Princess.

But as I said earlier, she's different.

The (h/c) giggled happily,
And (Y/n) as (Y/n) chortle and stride towards him.

Before he can even register what she's about to do, she pushed him off the tower while cracking up a laugh.

He instantly cursed and spread out his wings in a swift motion, showing off his black with red undertone dragon-like wings, while 50 feet above him is a girl laughing.

"She's really cute when she's delighted." He blurted out, still smiling while imagining pictures of (y/n) baking cookies, pouting, puffing her cheeks— ahhh everything about her is perfect.

He leaned down on the roof putting his two arms on his head. "I'll bet she'll call me in. . .3. . .2. . .1."

"Natsu!" He cracked up, cleaned up the dirt from his shorts, still wearing the knitted shirt and transported towards (Y/n)'s tower.

"I totally bet you really miss me," he teases and nudge (Y/n)'s elbow.

In which he earns a punch on the nape and a scold. "You bet, Dragon boy." (Y/n) stuck her tongue out.
Dust of red tinted on her cheeks.

"I. . .I can totally feel that my knight is halfway from the tower." She told him,with an eye smile.

His heart crumpled and his chest tense,"And?" He hissed. It's none of his business so why is she freaking saying it?

"Sent him away!" She huffed and put her hands on her lap with a harsh sound, looking straight at the onyx-eyed boy in front of her who is looking at her with a bland face.

In an impulse his eyes widen like saucers. What the hell is she saying? She's been waiting for him for a long time!

Why does she want him to sent his knight and shining armor away?

She could be free from this hellhole!

She could be free from this eerie and murky tower!

She could be free from him.

"Am I your servant princess? Last time I check you've been held as hostage." He remarked, eyeing her with annoyance.

He thinks it's one of her not so funny jokes and seriously, it made him more annoyed than he actually is.

"I. . . I don't like him!" She sternly said and sat on her hard bed
puffing her peachy cheeks.

"And it's not my problem, your highness." He sarcastically answered crossing his arms.

She rolled her eyes and put her (h/c)-locks on a ponytail and gave him one of her puppy dog eyes.

"Do what the prophecy says! Kill him!" She spat and pointed at the window dramatically.

He huffed and pick up the meat she cooked awhile ago without any permission.

"I'm the one who will be killed, not your knight and shining armor." He spoke firmly and air quoted while chewing the juicy meat.

He knows about his future, he just can't imagine that it was too soon.

(Y/n) stood up and stride towards him that was sitting opposite from her bed with a look of determination, when she reached her destination she cupped his cheeks harshly and spoke with conviction.

"Save me, Natsu. Save me from my knight."
