Wouldn't Change a Thing {Natsu x Reader}

Apologies for all the time skips in this chapter, I didn't want to drag on the chats about explanations for...certain characters. Got kind of lazy. Also kind of crying a little writing this one.

The plan was simple, act as villains to seek the losing magic power in order to have Mystogan save the world and act as a hero. You were willing to take part, to some extent, however, due to your condition you stayed back and acted as one of the crowd members. It was best to avoid using magic power, for now, so you acted as a magicless civilian instead, and if you used your magic power-you may break one of your morals; taking lives of innocent people. You took it upon yourself to look out for the Edolas counterpart of Gajeel.

Natsu laughed over the city like a demon sporting a horrible get up. Draped over his shoulders hung a red and black tattered cape, fake horns on his forehead tangled in his rugged salmon hair. You couldn't help but lightly slap your forehead pondering to yourself why you ever let this pyro go through with his spontaneous idea. Passed on from Minister Nadi of the Exceeds. Drools of fire escaped his mouth as Natsu yelled over the Royal City, "I am the demon they all call Lord Dragneel and I've come here to this world to steal all of your magic power."

To your own shock, the citizens crowding around you bought the gag without you having to overreact. Some dazed citizens watched on beside you asking for their King or praising their King will save them. Natsu licked his lips and canines, "Faust ain't your King anymore. Cause I kicked his sorry old butt!"

Another participant for you, you went back to get the unconscious sorry excuse for a King and drag him here. When Faust was regaining consciousness on your shoulders, you simply knocked him out again with your clenched fist striking him in the temple. You tied him to a stake in the roof where Natsu was screaming before and to be honest, knocking the King from his teeth felt good. The little devil inside your sweet angelic appearance enjoyed inflicting pain on him for once, turning the tables. As Natsu waved his arms and revealed the defeated King to the people with his boasting, you couldn't help but roll your eyes. Besides, technically speaking, you all took down the King but you'll let the boy have his moment.

"But," Natsu smirked, "I've decided to spare his life, for now!"

The citizens watched on surrounding you. Some grew weary of the King, while others facial expressions turned angry towards Natsu calling him a monster.

Natsu swished his cape, failing miserably to add more charisma if you had an opinion. Like why...? Just...why?

"Come now Redfox and Marvell, my faithful servants, it's time to trash the city," Natsu declared. Reminding you of the true reason you refused to take part efficiently at this stage; there was no way in hell you were going to be overshadowed by the moron you call your best friend. Never have never will. Not even for the stage. Not going to happen.

The plan went exactly as you wished it would; Mystogan rushed to the scene and defeated the great demon 'Lord Dragneel' (pathetic name, Natsu's idea), seems like the hero of Edolas. As you watched them lock fists with one another, your immense hearing picked up their voices reciting the Fairy Tail farewell ceremony. You could feel your heart swell seeing how compassionate Natsu could be, even when playing a villainous role. Natsu's body glowed a faint yellow tinge, so did your own glistening in your eyes. You glance overseeing Wendy and Gajeel were experiencing the same as you.
