Ask Natsu and Happy || Closed

TheFirstMaster: 101

((Small excerpts to celebrate me answering 101 questions. If only they were happier... And not so morbid... I'm also a novice so there's that too.))

Question: (for the both of you): if you'll be dead anytime, give at least 3 people who you want to see & give a message to them. (look, I'm not saying that you'll be dead now, just thinking if it will happen)

Natsu: Three? Well that's easy. The three most important people to me are Igneel, Lucy and Happy. How about you Happy?

Happy: Hmm.. Charle, Lucy and... Marle!

Natsu: Your mum?

Happy: Aye! And when I die I'll tell her that I ate fish with Charle! Because I can't die until I eat fish with Charle!

||BONUS: LAST WORDS||

Natsu > Igneel

"Dad?" Natsu asked, approaching the gigantic mass of red scales which spread across his vision, occupying the cavern.

The look of annoyance which crossed Natsu's vision wasn't as intimidating as it should be. Rather, it filled him with joy. As much as Igneel had not wanted to be found, here Natsu was, accompanied by a blue cat with the wings of heaven and still wearing the protective scarf Igneel had given him. "Natsu..." He acknowledged his son in a stern demeanor.

Happy seemed immobile, stunned by the massive beast which had raised such a dense kid. "I found you..." Natsu exclaimed disbelieving. He dropped to his knees, his loose pants scuffling against the stone as his surprise overwhelmed him. The gape of his mouth disappeared, replaced by a smile. "I did it."

"You weren't supposed to." The dragon replied, although the corners of his thick jowls were curved upward in a smile. No matter how far he had run, he couldn't deny the small pink-headed runt had made an impact.

"I know. I'm sorry." Natsu leaned onto the floor, bowing before his father in a bargain for forgiveness. "Dad... I-" He wanted to say it, all it would take was a little bit of effort to explain the sudden illness. "I've spent years looking for you, I never stopped, not even when I had built myself a new life."

His eyes were closed, blocking out the dimness of the cavern, but it was the sudden warmth at his back that told him Igneel was listening. "I made..." His eyes widened as Igneel pushed Natsu against him, so that Natsu was leaning not against the rough terrrain, but against the thick red scales. Natsu steadied his breath. He might only have one chance to say this.

He needed to say everything in as few words as possible. "I made so many friends on the way. Not many of them believed me at first... That you were my dad - that is. But you're teachings helped me greatly."

 Natsu folded his arms against Igneel's chest leaning his face into the crook of his elbows as he let the tears fall. "Thank you for everything..!" He exclaimed, his voice hitching over the sentence. "I'm sorry, but I have to go now. And I just wanted to say thanks, dad."

"Natsu..." His shoulders wouldn't cease their shrugging as Natsu's face became completely invisible to the other two in his presence. "I am proud to call you my son."

Natsu > Happy and Lucy

As Happy dropped Natsu to the floor, Natsu discovered his legs no longer had the strength to hold him up. He stumbled to the ground, scraping his hands as he tried to catch himself. Happy had requested that they go to the guild and ask Wendy for help, but Natsu had insisted they come here instead.

"Natsu?!" Happy yelped in guilt and surprise as the dragon got off of the ground.

Natsu ignored the searing pain in his stomach. "Get.. Lucy..." Happy threw a worried glance at Natsu but flew up to Lucy's window. Natsu looked at the building, it seemed to tower over him as he crawled to a comfortable spot against the grey walls.

It took only a moment for Happy and Lucy to emerge from the house once again. "Hey Luce," Natsu said in a drunken voice, his hand signalling them closer. When her lip quivered and the tears formed at her eyes he felt the pain in his gut twist. "Don't..-"

"Natsu!" She fell against him, her arms wrapping around his chest as she kneeled beside him.

Shortly after came another jolt as Happy joined in, clinging to Natsu's waist, the cats face burried in his stomach. "Nat-su..." Happy cried.

The wetness that formed in the space where his friends' faces touched his clothing made Natsu's heart sink. "Hey.. Stop crying, Happy, Lucy." He felt them slow their tears, but still thin streams were collecting into a wet patch on his shirt. Natsu placed an arm on Happy's head, and he found himself leaning against Lucy for support.

"I wanted you guys here so I could tell you something, not so you could bawl your eyes out." There was a sniffle, and both of his tear stained friends looked at him with wide, sad eyes.

"Wh... What is it?" Lucy croaked, her hands balling into fists as she held the back of his shirt like a lifeline. Natsu smiled crookedly as his eyes clsed.

"I want you guys to stick together."

"Nat... su?" Happy spoke, his lip trembling as he tried to finish what he wanted to say. "Please... Don't. Don't go..."

A pained chuckle escaped Natsu's dry throat. "You guys were everything I didn't know I needed. People who wouldn't leave, who would make me Happy and would always trust me... I guess I was too obsessed with finding Igneel to-" Natsu broke off into grating coughs which clawed their way up his throat.

His friend's grips on him tightened and he realized that Lucy was calling, shouting for help. Happy seemed shell-shocked, unable to move. "I love you two." He managed to say in a small gap of freedom, as he began coughing again, the life fading from him as Lucy cradled him in her arms. Tears formed down her cheeks and splattered against his shirt, Happy stood with his fists clenched at his side and his teeth gritted as he cried.

Cries for help went unanswered due to the emptiness of the street.

Natsu was gone.

((Okay.. So I only got to do Natsu's so far.... >.> I might edit Happy's part in later, when I do I'll put a sidenote into the current question. Anyways thanks for giving me so many awesome questions guys! I appreciate it a lot!!))
