Build or Burn (Natsu x Reader)

Chapter 1- The Good Old Days

(Reader's P.O.V)

I remembered him all to well. The way he would smile, his attitude, and the wonderful feeling I felt when we spent time together. But after all these years there's only one day that I can clearly remember. That last faithful day on x777(A/N: Correct me if I'm wrong) when our dragons disappeared.

I woke up feeling warmer than usual. I was use to sleeping in a cave so I usually never felt cold, but this heat was intense. Alarmed I turned my head only to have my nose tickled by soft pink hair. Feeling much calmer I shook the sleeping body laying next to me.

"Natsu wake up." I whispered in his ear.

He growled and said,"Igneel, please five more minutes." I giggled at cute face he made but I was starting to worry.

"Umm, Natsu... I'm not Igneel. And to be honest I don't know where Mother Terra is either."(A/N: Yeah I changed her name... DEAL WITH IT!!!!)
His eyes snapped open and he jumped up off the floor.

"How'd I get here?" He asked.
I shrugged my shoulders not knowing how either.

Natsu and Igneel lived quite a ways away in their own cave at the base of a volcano.He offered his hand to pull me off the floor. I wasted no time and was quickly off the now cold cave floor.

"Natsu..." I said shakily

"Yeah (Y/N)? What's wrong?" He asked as he took my hand in his own and we walked out of the cave

" I-I'm scared what if something happened to Mother Terra?"
Natsu stopped to look at me.

"It's ok because Igneel would be there to protect her." He said as he ruffled my (H/C) hair and I smiled as I looked into his onyx eyes with my (E/C).

"Ok Natsu we'd better start looking for them then."

[Time Skip brought to you by me of course]

(Still Reader's P.O.V)
It was raining at the time seconds passed, then minutes, then hours but our dragons were no where in sight. At this point I wad sobbing uncontrollably as I struggled to keep up with Natsu. I was soaked, cold, and scared. trust me it's not a good mix.

Then plants we stormed past reached out to care for their saddened sister but I wouldn't have it... there was nothing anyone could do to take me out of my sorrowful state.

But by some strange miracle Natsu did. He stopped his fast paced walk and faced me. My tears immediately stopped and I froze. He wanted to find Igneel as much as I wanted to find Mother Terra but at the moment I wasn't really myself.

He cradle my cheek with his hand and I finally saw how he was copping with all of this. Like me he was soaking wet, his face was red, he was breathing heavily, and he had tears in his eyes.... This whole time I was only thinking of myself.

I stood on my toes and wiped the Natsu his tears away. I felt bad, this whole time I was being a brat and hadn't even noticed.

He smiled and pulled me into his warm chest and gave me a sincere hug. The cold or the rain didn't make anymore. I was safe in his arms.
"(Y/N)."

I sniffed "Y-yes N-Natsu."

"I'm gonna have to leave you at the next town over."he said with a serious tone. I froze.

"W-why N-Natsu?" I asked shaking like a leaf in Natsu's arms. He pulled me back so he could look me in the face.

"It's dangerous out here and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something happened to you." he said whipping a strand of my wet (H/C) hair out of my face. "Please (Y/N)."

I agreed...

We made it to the town and he left me in the care of a nice looking couple that just so happened to be on their way home. But before Natsu left he gave me a green dragon scale necklace made from Terra's fallen scales.

Then he kissed my forehead and disappeared into the dark of the night and promised to one day come back and find me.

After that I always wore my necklace and I never saw him again.

Well that's what would have happened if I hadn't been around for the Thunder Legion incident.
