Natsu's pov

Ever since i admitted my fears to Zeref, just some days, or maybe weeks i wasn't sure i couldn't really understand time anymore, things have fallen into some routine. Zeref spends the whole day with me expect for meal times when he leaves for a while to bring me food. My throat didn't hurt any more either which was good as now i could talk some. Not that i really did but still at least i knew i could.

Yet i was uneasy. I was so curious about what was beyond that door Zeref always passed to leave to bring me food and anything else that i might of needed. I could always hear noise and life beyond it so i knew there were other people there. More likely like that weird team that had tried to 'help' me before Zeref came here if they weren't there too. They probably were. 

I sigh softly as i open my eyes and stare towards the door again. My mood brightens when i see it open to let Zeref come in again for today. I sit up and greet him with a quiet "hello". Zeref smiles softly and nods "Hello Natsu. Did you have a nice sleep?' He asks as he sets the tray of food on my lap. I nod and start eating it quietly again. My ears kept catching the sound of people right out of the door and my curiosity keeps growing and growing. But i was also scared.

Zeref seems to notice my distress and he gently touches my shoulder. I am not feeling as, as Zeref had called it once, 'jumpy' as i used to be since i first touched him and allowed him to touch me too. Anyway, he pulls me closer and i lay my head on his shoulders and i close my eyes to rest some.

"What's wrong Natsu? You know you can tell me anything that troubles you right?" I nod to his words and then i look up to him. I wanted to tell him i really did. But i was so afraid to. I wasn't sure i could do it. I look down after a bit, unable to keep eye contact anymore. I know Zeref still looks worried but i don't say anything.

"I was wondering if i could come out of here with you.. i want to see where you go. I don't want to always be kept here, i feel trapped..." i say honestly to him. I was scared i might get in trouble now. I didn't want to get in trouble, getting in trouble ends up bad. Painful.

 "Oh Natsu you should have told me Natsu! Of cource you can come out with me!" Zeref's voice brings me out of that dark place in my mind. He had that usual soft smile of his. It's strange though, it always looks so sad. But it makes me relax and i nod, a small smile appearing on my face "Thanks Zeref."

After that we stay upstairs for a while. Zeref is reading me a book, he does this every day. I like listening to him, his voice is soft as he speaks though he does change it sometimes to help me imagine how things are in the book. Right now he is reading me anew one with a wizard school and a destined boy, Harry Potter i think is what he called it. I was listening with great interest, i had to say it was very interesting. Sometimes, when i ask, he lets me read too but right now i wasn't really in the mood for it.

Zeref closes the book now and looks at me with his usual soft smile "Shall we go out now?" He asks kindly. I nod and with some help i get to stand up. My arm goes around his shoulders while his right arm goes around my waist. For some reason my face heats up at the contact and i had to look away from him. With him so close i get to take a few steps towards the door, huh the distance wasn't as big as i thought it would be.
