Hot & Cold [Natsu Dragneel X OC]

New Life at Fairy Tail

The morning sun's rays peeked through the trees, waking Luna up to find Natsu's arms wrapped around her body. He was still asleep, snoring quietly. She stared at his sleeping face for a while, smiling and snuggling closer to him in his arms. Natsu's snoring hitched and his eyelids slowly opened to see Luna's face inches from his. A big blush formed on his face and he let go of Luna abruptly and sat up. She sat up as well.

"S-sorry Luna! I-I didn't mean to cling to you like that." Natsu stuttered a little as he apologized, worried that she might've been creeped out. But Luna just laughed.

"Don't worry about it Natsu. It's no big deal." Luna said, smiling softly as the sun reflected off of her silky, light blue hair and fair skin, making her glow. Natsu stared at Luna for a bit before breaking the silence between them.

"You know, I think I'll nickname you Crystal because you shimmer in the moonlight and glow in the sunlight just like a crystal. And your last name is Crystelle." Natsu said as Luna thought about a nickname for Natsu.

"Hmm, then I'll call you Pinky because your hair is pink." Luna said as she ruffled Natsu's hair. It was surprisingly soft, despite its spiky appearance.

"So I give you a pretty nickname and you give me a silly one? That's not fair." Natsu said with a pout as Luna just laughed.

"That aside, let's continue looking for our parents." Luna said as she stood up and offered her hand to Natsu who took it. As soon as he did, she started walking off with him. The two young dragon slayers walked together through the woods, calling out their parents' names. Suddenly Natsu stopped, causing Luna to bump into him.

"Oww, what was that fo- mmph!" Luna began to say but Natsu covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh, I smell someone up ahead." Natsu said as he removed his hand from her mouth and held it out protectively in front of her. His sense of smell must have been sharper than hers because she didn't notice any new scents until the two of them got a little closer to the source. Sitting on a tree stump meditating was a short old man with a white mustache and hair with a large bald area on the top of his head. The old man opened one eye before opening the other.

"It's not safe for children to be walking alone in the woods. Where are your parents?" The old man said as he got off the stump and approached Natsu and Luna. Natsu held out his arms protectively in front of Luna.

"Who are you?" Natsu asked, ignoring the old man's question.

"I am Makarov Dreyar, master of the Fairy Tail guild. Now can you tell me, where your parents are?" Makarov introduced himself and asked again.

"O-our parents are missing so we're looking for them. They're dragons." Luna said shyly from behind Natsu. Makarov scratched his chin.

"Dragons, eh? Sorry, I have not seen any dragons. But since you're young, you'll need a family and a place to call home. How about you two join the Fairy Tail guild." Makarov offered as Natsu looked back at Luna for approval. She nodded her head and Natsu turned to face Makarov again.

"Okay fine, we'll join your guild." Natsu said as Makarov smiled.

"Excellent! Before we head to the guild, what are your names?" Makarov asked the two of them.

"I'm Luna Crystelle and this is Natsu Dragneel." Luna said, gesturing to herself and Natsu.

"Luna and Natsu, follow me to Fairy Tail. We'll introduce you to the other guild members and get you settled in." Makarov said as he started leading the way to the Fairy Tail guild with Luna and Natsu following behind him hand-in-hand. When they got to the guild building, Makarov introduced Natsu and Luna to the guild members that were currently present. Then he marked them with the Fairy Tail insignia one after the other.
