     Natsu was biting his lips, sitting at the bar next to Zeref, his leg jerking in anticipation and excitement. 

 "Where do you want it Natsu?" Mira asked with a smile. 

 Everyone was quiet, watching.  

 "In the same place...er-please." Natsu smiled, he removed some of his bandages on the arm his mark was previously, revealing cuts and etc. 

 Mira smiled and placed the stamp onto Natsu's right arm. It was bright red as before, and once it was on, a cheer ran through the hall. Natsu beamed brightly, chuckling happily. Zeref smiled kindly at his brother before Mira moved in front of him.

 "What about you?" She wondered. 

 "Er-um-"

 "Oh can I do it?" Natsu asked. 

 Mira tilted her head but nodded and handed the stamp over to Natsu. Zeref frowned, "Maybe she should...do it." 

 "Huh? Why don't you want me too?"

 "I...don't want it to be crooked..." Zeref muttered.

 Natsu's face turned red when everyone laughed loud and hard. Natsu's bottom lip popped out and he stood up.

 Zeref looked down and then up at Natsu, "Thanks Natsu." 

 Natsu cocked his head, "You aren't mad at me?" 

 Zeref shook his head and chuckled. "No Natsu, it's alright." 

 The guild cheered again when they realized Zeref was now a part of Fairy Tail. Natsu wrapped his arm around Zeref's neck and smiled, "Thank you."

 "What do you mean?" Zeref asked curiously.

 "Uh...nothing..." 

 Zeref closed his eyes and smiled. Things were actually turning out for him.

 "Mavis!" He heard Natsu giggle.

 Zeref opened his eyes wide. Mavis. 

 "Hi Natsu!" 

 Zeref felt his lip quiver and and fists shook. 

 "Zeref." 

 Zeref jumped and slowly looked over, "M-Ma..."

 Mavis. She looked up at him with her large green eyes. Her face had drastically changed. When she saw Natsu she had hugged him, a smile on her face. When she saw Zeref...
