"What a day," Natsu hummed as he jumped onto Lucy's bed "all be it a bit boring."
"Maybe for you," Lucy growled at him as she entered the room.
They had just got back from their job and Natsu felt as though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He was able to complete the mission with no injuries and it had boosted his confidence again. Though when one mage went for his throat he had felt the potent sting of panic settle in his bones but he was able to push past it and get the job done.
Now Natsu and Happy were stopping by Lucy's place for a visit, Natsu making himself comfortable on her bed as he usually did.
Natsu let his thoughts wonder off. He thought back on his revelation that his need for fighting and destruction were a part of his former demonic instincts. Well fighting was still fun he didn't want to go out looking for it, it was just to much wasted energy. He also didn't toy with his targets anymore and was more focus on just taking care of the problem. This caused a significant less amount of destruction on his part which he could tell his teammates were surprised about.
Natsu blinked in surprise when Happy touched his arm.
He looked up to find Lucy looking at him as though she had just asked him a question.
"Uhh what did you say?" He asked with a sheepish grin on his face.
Lucy groaned "are you gonna move or do I have to sleep on the couch?"
In response Natsu merely shuffled over and patted the spot beside him.
She rolled her eyes but none the less she sat down.
She was quiet for a moment
"Natsu?"
"Yeah."
"Are you okay?"
He looked at her in confusion. Lucy was looking down at her hands but switched her gaze to his eyes.
"You've been acting different...ever since we got back from that job a few months ago..."
He stiffened a little.
"How so?"
Happy gave Natsu a strange look but remained quiet and let Lucy continue.
"You aren't as energetic anymore...aren't as fight happy as you used to be and...you seem more...more..." she seemed like she couldn't find the word.
"Grown up." Happy finished for her.
Natsu blinked a few times. Grown up? What did that mean?
He open his mouth to reply.
CRASH
A sudden clatter for the living room made them all jump.
Lucy rolled her eyes and groaned "let me guess Gray or Erza."
She was about to get off the bed when Natsu grabbed her arm.
"No." he spoke in a harsh whisper.
He could sense whosever it was soul...and they weren't human.
