Healing ✔️ (Natsu x Reader)

The pain of the past

It's Friday and I wake up feeling amazingly good.
Natsu is walking me to school starting today and I don't know why but I'm excited.

I guess cause now he's my boyfriend and I really really do like him. I won't say love yet and yet is the word. Mostly because I'm still scared to love.

I get up and get ready and walk out the door by 7:25 I see Natsu walking down the street and decided to meet him.

"Good morning!" I greet him

"Good morning. I see your happy today." He says with a smile

"Yep. For the first time in a long time I feel pretty good!" I say with a big smile on my face.

Natsu offers me his hand and I gladly take it and intertwine my fingers with his. We walk to school and talk along the way. When we get there we get a lot of stares and whispers. Since we are together now we didn't separate. We walk around in the school still holding hands.

Lunch time. We decided to sit at the table we used to sit at. Natsu talked to everyone and told them to take it easy on me. We just casually talk and it starts to feel like the good old days.

No. The bad old days. This is how it was before he left. Dwayne. You left me. I feel my face suddenly flush and I slump in my seat.

"Hey. What's wrong?" Gray asks. He was talking to me about something when I zoned out.
"Y/N. What's wrong?" He waves his hand in front of me and hearing my name snapped me out of it. By now he had caught Natsu and Levy's attention and they were looking at me worriedly.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I just remembered something." I lie but he bought it. Levy and Natsu didn't though. They could still feel something was wrong but they know not to pressure me. "Excuse me." I say and get up and head to the bathroom. I knew Levy would follow me. She did.

I walk in and splash water in my face.

"What happened back there?" Levy asks with concern in her voice.

"I just. Had a flashback of the past. It was like de-ja-vu. Like I was reliving my past before. Before he left. Now I have Natsu and I'm just scared history will repeat itself. I can't lose him to Levy!" I yell and feel tears in my eyes.

"It's ok Y/N. The past is the past for a reason. History won't repeat itself. Natsu won't leave you especially in the way Dwayne did. Put some faith in us. Let us help you move on."

"I'm trying Levy. I really am. But I can't help these flashbacks. These memories haunt me so bad." I sob

"It'll be ok. Come on. Wash up and let's go back. Natsu must be worried sick." Levy says. I go to the sink and wash my face over and over to try to calm down. Finally I feel better and dry my face and walk out.

I see Natsu sitting in my seat. At first I glare at him then he opens his arms and pats his lap. I roll my eyes and laugh at him but sit down anyways. He wraps his arms around me and I instantly feel better. I lay my head on his shoulder and sigh. I just sit there the rest of lunch while everyone else talks. I close my eyes and start to drift off before the bell wakes me up and makes me jump.

"It's ok it's just the bell." Natsu teases. I groan and get off of him. "I heard you softly snoring." He whispers and I blush. "See you after school" He says louder and kisses my cheek. I smile at him and head to class.

Time skip
School is over now and I head to the front gate. I see Natsu standing there but he doesn't see me. He leans against the wall and I see a girl with white hair talking to him. He looks frustrated. I keep walking twords them when I see her jump at him and kiss him. I see his eyes grow wide and shove her off. She falls on her butt and goes to slap him but by now I've reached them. I grab her wrist firmly and she looks at me in shock.
