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

Chapter 5

(3rd PoV)
"They're awake!"

"How are you all feeling?" Zach asked Juvia, Lucy, Erza, Wendy, and Carla.

"I feel better, thank you Zach!" Wendy said cheerfully. Carla nodded in agreement. I agree with Wendy, I feel much better. Thank you Zach." Erza said with a smile. Juvia also nodded, "Yes, Juvia feels much better! Juvia thinks that Zach takes after (Y/N) in healing!"

Zach blushed and scratched the back of his neck embarrassingly, "It's no big deal."

"What about you Lu?" Levy asked as she looked at Lucy, who has yet to say anything. Everyone looked at her, waiting for her response. "I'm fine. Thank you Zach." Lucy said as she hesitantly made eye contact with Zach. Zach nodded and looked away from her.

The tension in the room then grew tremendously. Gray awkwardly coughed.

(Y/N) looked around and sighed as she adjusted Rini, who was on her hip. "Okay, everyone out. They all need to get some rest you can come by later." (Y/N) said as she started to shoo everyone out of the infirmary. She herself left, after saying goodbye to the girls.

(Your PoV, The Next Day)
"You want to have a fight against your dad?" I asked with a shocked face. Zach nodded with a big grin on his face, "Yeah!"

'He wants to fight Natsu..? Wow..'

"Why?" I asked as I finished putting away the groceries, with the help of Zach.

"I want to see if I can beat him! I already fought you-" "Yeah but it wasn't your full power since you used magic that you knew you weren't supposed to use. You were also older too." I reminded him. He chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head, "Yeah I know. But since you cast that age decreaser spell on me and everyone else, I'm younger now and weaker."

"But you have been training too. You've gotten stronger. You're almost as strong as when you were 16." I said with a smile. 'He's improved so much. I feel kinda bad though.. Zach's had to regain the strength he once had when he was 16..'

I saw Zach blush as he grinned, "Thanks Mom." After a few seconds of silence, he said something.

"So.. Can I fight Dad?"

I nodded as I pulled him into a tight hug, "You have my approval, Zach." As I said that, I could practically see his smile.

(3rd PoV)

"Of course you can have fight me!" Natsu exclaimed excitedly with a big grin. Zach smiled and hugged Natsu tightly, surprising Natsu and (Y/N).

"When do you wanna fight?"

"Right now and at the guild!"

After that, the whole Dragneel family headed over to the guild.

-—-—-

"Let's go Zach!"

"You can do it Zach!"

"Beat him up Zach!"

"Alright Brat and Zach, get into your positions!" Master Makarov said loudly. Natsu mumbled at the 'Brat' part but did as told. Zach did the same with the mumbling.
