Natsu x Male!Reader

The Greatest Gift

---- Time Skip: Two Months later. ----

Narrative POV

It had been two months after (Y/n)'s little fortune-telling session with a certain mage and ever since, every move he made were taken with extra precautionary measures.

"He's been really jumpy lately.." Natsu said as he sat with his other teammates.

"What do you mean?" Erza asked.

"Maybe he's paranoid." Gray commented.

"Paranoid of what?" Lucy asked.

"Natsu." He chuckled, angering the salamander.

"WHAT?!!" The salamander's face was slightly burning but it didn't seem to bother him.

As Natsu and Gray readied themselves to fight against one another once again, (Y/n) opened the doors of the guild, making a loud creaking sound, catching Natsu's attention.

"HEY!!!! (L/N)!!" The salamander called as he turned towards (Y/n)'s direction, "Where have you been?"

"Yeah, you missed the penalty game a month ago." Gray shouted from the distance, then he remembered the punishment, "Second thought... I'm glad you weren't there to see it..."

Then out of nowhere, Romeo and Wendy appear, attempting to pull (Y/n) into a group hug, but he swiftly dodged it, shocking everyone.

"He doesn't like hugs?" Romeo asked.

"Usually he doesn't have any problems with it." Wendy sighed.

(Y/n) was silent. Not even a sound was uttered from his mouth, then from the entrance of the guild, he proceeded to Mirajane, "Where can I find Makarov?" He asked.

"Usually he's-"

"I'm right here child." The guild master interrupted Mirajane as he sat on the counter.

"Can we talk privately?" (Y/n) requested.

"How about we go for a walk? There are some things that's been bothering me lately." He said, jumping from the counter.

"HEY (L/N)!!" Natsu shouted, catching (Y/n)'s attention, "MAKE SURE YOU COME BACK!!! WE'VE GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YA!!"

"We do?"

"SHHH!!!!" Lucy said as she kicked Gray, "A way to ruin the surprise..."

"OWW....." Gray uttered out, "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!!"

"We can't ruin the surprise!!" She whispered.

"Then why didn't you kick Natsu instead?"

"Because you were more closer."

(Y/n) followed Makarov outside then shut the doors behind them, the door opened again, but this time, it was Makarov giving a thumbs up then shut the door again.

"Natsu?" Erza asked curiously, "What's the meaning of this?"

"You guys don't know?" He questioned curiously, then held up a calendar, marking March 1st in red ink, "Today's his birthday."

"I thought Natsu told you." Lucy said, "Well, it's not like we can expect everyone to know everyone else' birthday." She sighed.

"What year was he born?" Erza asked.

"X769?" Natsu began thinking, "Hold on, let me think..."

"THAT'S A FIRST!!!" Happy shouted as he tried to offer Carla a fish, as a token of their 'love'.
