“THE CAT JUST TALKED!!”

----------

“Of course… all cats can talk… right?” Natsu asked/ responded.

“Aye!” cried the cat again.

“W-what?! Not ‘aye’! Most cats can’t talk at all! This is weird… I really am going insane…” you began mumbling to yourself as put your first finger and thumb to the bridge of your nose.

“Not all cats can talk? They must be so sad…” Natsu put his hand on his chin in thought. You on the other hand were now staring at Happy wondering if he wasn’t an escaped experiment of some sort. He seemed to notice your intense, unbreakable eye contact and began shivering. He then sprouted wings and flew up in the air to get away from your one-sided staring contest.

“He can fly too huh..?” you trailed off watching Happy amuse himself by doing loops in the air.

“Yeah… that’s his magic. We’re both mages.” Natsu said, bringing your thoughts down to earth. ((anyone? C’mon that was funny! Whatever, back to the story))

“Magic? You have a magic blue cat?”

“Don’t forget that Happy can talk!” Natsu said with yet another cheesy grin, “Ya know… you remind me a lot of one of my friends…” he said.

“Really? What’re they like?” you asked eagerly, your previous mission seemingly forgotten.

“Well she’s blond, she reads a lot, and she acted just like you when she first met Happy… I bet you and her would get along real well!”

‘She… did Natsu catch on to me?’ you pondered.

“Hey, hey (m/n)!” you looked up and saw Happy perched on Natsu’s head in front of your face.

“Yeah?” you wondered still not entirely paying attention.

“Do you have somewhere to stay?” Natsu asked finishing Happy’s question.

“A place to stay…” you hadn’t really thought about it, ‘Where am I going to stay? I don’t want to go back to the village, it’ll be too painful… and if I’m honest… I don’t think I could find it.” you deadpanned.

“Looks like you don’t. Well, you can come stay with Happy and I at our house! Then we can help you find whatever you were looking for!” Natsu said as he pulled you to your feet.

“A-ah… sure, I mean if I won’t be a bother…” you replied. Happy shook his head and flew ahead as Natsu pulled you along behind.

“T-this is your… house?”

“Yep! C’mon in!”

The ‘thing’ in front of you did NOT look like a house. Well it did but… trees (dead ones at that) grew all around and even through the house. Handmade steps lead up to the door and past a sign that read ‘Natsu & Happy.’

“Helloooooo… earth to (m/n)! Are you gonna just stand there all day?” Natsu shouted from the door.

“A-ah… yeah, sorry ‘bout that!” you responded. As you came up to the entrance of the house, glancing at the animal skull that adorned the doorframe.

Stepping inside, you realized that the house actually is a mess! There was literally something on every surface!! And such random objects at that… a maid outfit… some skull necklace thing… a cloth suspended from the ceiling holding rocks?! And a signature..?

Salamander?! As in the Salamander from Fairy Tail?!’ you couldn’t help but stare openly at it, and Natsu noticed.

“That thing? Yeah we picked that up from a poser in Hargeon Town… he was a total creep.” Natsu commented before laying down on a pile that could have resembled a bed at some point. So you sighed and plopped down on another pile, thoughts racing on what Natsu’s connection to Fairy Tail could be.

CRASH!! THUD!!

You jolted awake. Looking around rapidly… then saw the broken window.

‘Someone broke in?!’ you started to panic, all too familiar memories of thieves entering your mind. Then you heard the shuffle of feet behind you and some frantic whispering.

You spun and trapped the people standing there in a huge block of ice. So close to hyperventilating as suddenly the lights came on. You jumped, thinking there were more thieves, but then turned to see Natsu standing looking confused.

“What’s going on..?” then he saw the people frozen in the middle of his house, “Huh? You guys trying to steal my awesome trophies?” 

You could see on the thieves’ faces that they realized Natsu had nothing of serious value. That and the way he called all his stuff trophies.

“Should I call the pol-” you started but was cut off when Natsu punched the ice block sending them flying through the roof.

“W-what?!” you yelped in surprise, “You can’t just send people through the roof! Plus they got away! How are the police going to catch them when you sent them flying to who knows where! I mean it’ll take a while to find them, but I’m sure we could and since we’re both mages…” you continued droning on and on, fingers clenching your (h/c) hair as you rambled nonsense. Natsu’s loud laughs echoed throughout the building, making you turn to look at him.

“What?” you questioned (e/c) eyes making contact with black.

“You are exactly like Lucy! Happy, did you see the way (m/n) kept mumbling to himself?” Natsu continued laughing as Happy responded with a cheerful ‘aye!’

“But anyway,” Natsu continued after he calmed down, “that magic you have reminds me of one of my friends as well…”

‘Another friend? And one with maker magic at that?’

“… and so that’s why we’re taking you with us to the guild tomorrow!”

“Huh?” you had spaced out again.

“Well, get some sleep! Everyone can be a bit rowdy so you need to get your rest!” Natsu said imminently falling asleep as his head hit his pillow.

‘So Natsu’s in a guild? Maybe these people can tell me more about Fairy Tail…’ you though as you drifted off to dreamland.
